DADA (Defence against the dark arts)
Voldemort, also known as the dark lord, is known in many of our history books. But do you know why? He was able to use the killing curse, "Avada Kedavra," and he did not show mercy with it.

He is known for being the strongest dark wizard of our times. He fought many great witches and wizards and defeated anyone who crossed his path.

But one boy stuck out. Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was undefeated by Voldemort. Voldemort and Harry had a connection that was stronger than any unbreakable promise ever could be.

COMC (Care of Magical Creatures)

One of the most famous magical creatures is the Niffler. The Niffler is a magical beast with a long snout and a coat of black fur. Nifflers have a pouch on their bellies that hold far more than at first seems possible.

They are attracted to shiny things, which makes them wonderful for locating treasure, but that also means that they wreak havoc if let loose. Other than that, they are harmless.

Native to Britain, they live in burrows as deep as twenty feet below ground, and females produce six to eight young in a single litter.

Nifflers are kept by Goblins to burrow for treasure.

Spell Casting

Focus on having the class use “Protego” and “Stupefy”. Anything else, and the class never goes well, so stick to the simple spells and the class will do fine.
Have the class pair up and choose one person to use the protection spell and the other person to do the attack spell. Make sure everyone spreads out, or people will be hit with “Stupefy” and not be the caster's partner.

Charms

Today we will learn about the devils snare. Devil's Snare was a magical plant with the ability to constrict or strangle anything in its surrounding environment or something that happened to touch it. It was composed of a mass of soft, springy tendrils and vines that possessed some sense of touch, and resembled the Flitterbloom. This plant used its creepers and tendrils to ensnare anyone who touched it, binding their arms and legs and eventually choking them. The harder a person struggled against Devil's Snare, the faster and more tightly it bound them. If the victim was able to maintain their presence of mind and relaxed, the Snare would relax its grip on them. Struggling or resistance to Devil's Snare would cause the plant to exert a greater force of constriction. Devil's Snare preferred a dark, damp environment. It would stop its movement in the environment in front of bright light and would recoil away from the heat of fire, so a well-placed fire or light based spell such as the Bluebell Flames, Fire-Making Spell, Wand-Lighting Charm or Lumos Solem Spell would effectively drive it away from its victims.
