Twilight had opened the Academy of her dreams, where all races of Equestria may come to learn about magic and other arts they may wish to learn, without having to worry about stereotypes. For one course, there was only one who could teach it.
7158877 Ooooooh don't you know it! Imagine, Smaug learned how to be an evil Dragon, by taking a class to defend himself from such.... Ooooh the irony. I wonder if he was still afraid of Professor Anubis' ruler punishment.
7158885 Though, in all honesty? In the Movie? THEY GOT IT TERRIBLY WRONG! THAT IS NOT A DRAGON, THAT IS A FUCKING WYVERN! He is walking on his wings, and has no forelegs, for crying out loud!
7160136 To answer your question, no. This has absolutely nothing to deal with Harry Potter :x the "Defense Against the Dark Arts and Entities" is something on its own, and a very common course within any form of Magical Academies. It was just brought out more in Harry Potter, hence why people always ASSUME any mentioning of this is an instant flag of "Oh, Harry Potter Story!" The missing teacher portion? Well, that is an obvious answer. Equestria is a magical land, filled with powerful magic users yes. However, they are also a peaceful kingdom, barely a reputable military (headcannon, as I found out, they don't do much and are very laxed... Hurts my military side sooooooooo bad). So, they wouldn't have the first clue how to defend themselves against the dark arts and entites, the incidents with Nightmare Moon, Sombra, Discord, and Tirek; being my case resource for this... Each one being either a dark art user or some dark entity. So, Twilight would not be able to find a qualified instructor for this sort, seeing how no "pony" in Equestria truly knew how to fight such a thing, Celestia and Luna only able to seal such magic and entities rather than being able to defeat them. They usually have to rely on ancient artifacts that they don't exactly understand fully...
And that is where our boys in armor come in, beings who have combatted these entities and magic for a very long time. The Academy idea? Well, I mentioned where I got THAT in the Author's Note xD it spawned quite the idea.
She had been lucky to be blessed with friends that were well versed in different fields of study. Twilight asked Rarity to handle classes involving the use of unicorn magic to perform detailed and pattern oriented work, in which she lovingly agreed. Applejack decided to help with the teaching of agricultural magic, help every one of their students understand such a desired skill. Fluttershy went with teaching about, and how to care for, the different magical creatures one may come across. Rainbow Dash, unsurprisingly, took over the Physical Education Department, along with Weather Control. Pinkie Pie handled Home Education, so she can have fun teaching others how to cook. Zecora offered to teach potion making classes, even show them the shamanistic ways from Zebrica to those who would listen, and were intrigued… And, surprisingly, Discord offered to teach a class he called ‘Chaos Theory and Implications’, something he claimed as his “reformed community service duty’…
Hobbit reference spotted!

7158887 That is a good point..., but still, the voice acting by Cumberbatch was incredible!
7158892 Yeah, dude freaking NAILED IT
Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be a Harry Potter crossover...?
7159241 Except it's not, if you're familiar with 40K Lore, you'll get the name of the story
7160088 I was referring to the "Defense Against the Dark Arts," and the lack of a teacher bit in the description...

7161123 It was a bad throw away joke anyways; I have no idea why I've been defending this so vehemently... Maybe I should just sleep...
