Tywin cursed the day he accepted to become the professor of DADA.

Just a few days with the title as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor,

he has faced not one, but two life-threatening situations.

"That bitch Judy, crouch or not I will definitely make her lay" he muttered, attempting to rise and reach for his wand.

But before he could retrieve it, someone kicked the wand in the chaos and stampede,

sending it flying into the air. It landed squarely on the head of a Grindylow, rebounding, and crashing near the shattered water tank.

"Oh, Merlin's beard!"

"Mrs. Hodge, we've got some serious talent some serious talent for quidditch in this classroom!" Professor Tywin exclaimed, with sarcasm.

Wanting to ask for help, he opened his mouth but found himself speechless.

As everyone dashed for the door, the room emptied out, leaving a handful of Ravenclaw students behind.

It wasn't that they suddenly felt Gryffindor-like,rather, someone had locked the door without anyone knowing who did it.

William's roommate Bradley pounded on the door in frustration. "Argh! The door's locked tight, it won't budge!"

Marcos Belby called out, "Hey, William, what's the spell to unlock it?"

William remained composed. "It's 'Alohomora.' Wave your wand twice, then give a light flick."

Marcos aimed his wand at the door lock, attempting the spell, but to no avail.

"William, get over here fast, we can't open it!" Bradley exclaimed loudly.

All the first year Ravenclaws cleared a path, anxiously waiting for William to unlock the door and free them from the distressing classroom.

However, William remained stationary, with Cho standing behind him.

Meanwhile, Marina found herself cornered by Grindylows against the opposite wall, appearing on the verge of fainting.

Two Grindylows slowly closed in on her, smirking as they licked their green claws, advancing with a sinister walk.

"Come on, hurry, move!" Cho urgently called out to Marina.

Yet, the girl remained frozen against the wall, her expression filled with sheer horror.

Cho gripped her wand, readying herself to charge forward.

Marina was her roommate, and she can't just let her die.

William extended his hand, attempting to hold Cho back.

If something happened to Cho, Cedric will definitely kill him.

William, witnessing the lack of action, found the wand swirling into his right hand.

"Evanescere!"

A beam of light, as thick as a thumb, swiftly shot forth, precisely hitting the head of a Grindylow.

The green horns were cleanly severed by the light, and with the extraction spell in effect, the Grindylow's brain was instantly removed.

Deprived of its skull cap's support, the Grindylow's small head rapidly deflated, akin to a leaking balloon.

Two yellow eyes popped out from their sockets, dropping like overripe lemons, bursting with a loud "pop" upon hitting the ground.

Green blood splattered across Marina's robe, leaving her stunned and causing her to collapse onto the floor.

The remaining Grindylows redirected their focus towards William, emanating an intense wave of hatred.

The loud commotion drew the attention of all the Ravenclaw students, who gazed at William in shock.

The same spell if wielded differently some found it useless, while others made opponents bleed or destroyed Grindylow's hands or tentacles.

But then there were some-

Some who can directly kill a Grindylow.

This showcased the disparity in talent. It wasn't about anything else.

When William used spells, he undoubtedly displayed a magical ability and power far beyond his peers.

But what truly stood out wasn't just his skill but his composure.

Facing all the Ravenclaw first-year's, William lifted his cherry wood wand once more, giving it a firm wave.

"Reducto!" he chanted.

This time, the spell was one Professor Tywin had used to handle Peeves.

However, William didn't aim it at the Grindylow but directed his wand towards the glass shards of the shattered water tank.

The larger fragments erupted once more, transforming into sharp shards resembling thorns.

Guided by William's wand movements, they whirled like a tornado,

condensing into an arc, hurtling towards the heads of the few remaining Grindylows.

Terrified, the Grindylows backed away.

William took charge of the situation, raising his voice authoritatively,said in all might style" No need to fear, CAUSE I'M HERE."

The Ravenclaw students huddled obediently behind him, excited and in awe.

"Two against all, would that be a problem?!" William's demeanor mirrored that of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"No!" echoed everyone in unison.

Satisfied, William nodded, entrusting the remaining Grindylows to his classmates with assurance.

Grindylows weren't challenging to handle;

they were merely classified as a magical creature with an XX class level in the wizarding realm.

This classification indicated that they were either harmless or capable of being tamed.

The ongoing chaos stemmed from the inexperience and easily panicked nature of these children,

Adding Professor Tywin's condition after being hit by the Pulling Curse.

Thankfully, the situation didn't escalate further.

William approached Marina slowly, finding Cho already standing by her side, offering comfort.

William inquired, "Is she injured?"

Cho's pale face showed a hint of color returning as she shook her head. "No, just extremely frightened."

"Stay with her," William instructed.

Cho shook her head again, picking up the wand from the floor, rising to join the group in handling the Grindylows.

A faint smile formed at the corner of William's mouth..

He suddenly realized that among the first year, only Cho hadn't retreated in fear and was determined to help save Marina.

Cho's bravery reaffirmed Cedric's vision, and William appreciated her courage.Even if she's flat chest atleast she has character.

Meanwhile, Marina remained crouched in the corner, trembling, but William didn't pay much attention to her.

Mental health counseling wasn't within his skill set, nor was it his responsibility.

However, he wouldn't have minded becoming a ten-year depressed patient if there had been a hot and beautiful female wizard providing psychological counseling.

William retrieved the ebony wand and made his way towards Professor Tywin.

"Professor, are you able to stand?" William inquired cheerfully as he crouched down.

Professor Tywin made an effort and eventually managed a smile.

"With the thigh bone gone, even with a raw bone spirit potion won't have me back on my feet until tomorrow morning. But well done, just now!"

"It's impressive to apply what you've taught us in real combat.

Perhaps it'd be better for you to continue teaching us," William suggested.

William smiled as he passed the wand to Professor Tywin.

The professor seemed nonchalant, accepting the wand and then furrowing his brow, lost in thought.

"Your magical ability truly astonished me.

There were a few individuals who were as skilled and talented as you are," Tywin reminisced.

"A classmate of the professor's?" William inquired.

"Well, they were from Gryffindor house... Sadly, one of them has passed away, and the other is now in Azkaban," Professor Tywin explained.

"By the way," Tywin began, resting one hand on his robe while propping himself up from the floor.

"If you're tired of crouching, you can take me to the school hospital, and we can chat there."

"I'm fine, not tired at all. Squats are good for health," William replied.

Tywin fell silent.
