Defense Against the Dark Arts

Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of the core classes, which means that one has to pass this class in order to continue to the next year. This class, which is taken every year a student is at Hogwarts, teaches student on how to protect themselves against dark creatures, dark spells, and anything that can hurt them. 
This class was taught exclusivly by the enthuastic, intelligent, and very powerful witch, Professor Melanie Silvers . She has much knowledge in the field and enjoys teaching the next generation of witches and wizards. Melanie has since handed the reins of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Course over to one Jericho Penrose of Slytherin.
