The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Anthony Goldstein did not dare to stay at the back of the team, but immediately accelerated his pace and moved closer to the large force ahead. Three steps and two, he caught up to Michael Corner. When he stood beside his classmates, the sense of urgency in his heart naturally dissipated a lot.

"What's the matter?" Michael Corner couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw his classmate's face suddenly deteriorated, "Stomach pain?"

"No, Mike, you listen to me—" Anthony didn't finish his sentence when he suddenly felt someone blowing at the back of his neck.

"Ah!" he screamed, jumping up.

This scream caused other students to look sideways. Professor Lupin also stopped, turned his head and asked gently, "Classmate, what's the matter?"

Michael Corner grimaced and recounted what happened to him just now.

After listening, Lupin glanced thoughtfully at the empty corridor behind Michael Corner, cleared his throat, and quieted the little wizards who were a little restless.

"There are four possibilities," Professor Lupin said to Michael Corner very gently. "One, it's an evil spirit."

The little wizards shuddered.

"...But it's still daytime, and it's still at Hogwarts, so it can't be an evil spirit." Lupin didn't continue to sell things, so as not to make the students panic, "There is also a possibility that it is some kind of magic that can be invisible. Animals, in the face of this situation, have a very useful spell."

He took a wand out of his tattered robe and looked behind Michael Corner, "Of course, the biggest possibility is that I met an old acquaintance - Aparecium! "

He shouted without warning, a breeze emerged from the tip of his staff and swept across the corridor, and a small "figure" appeared in front of everyone, it had a pair of black eyes with evil light and a He had a big mouth and was small, wearing a bright red suit, a hat covered with furballs, and an orange bow tie.

"Peeves!" Some students recognized the figure.

"Idiot, Lupin, lunatic, big fool!" Peeves didn't panic when he saw his disguise being dismantled, but sang happily as if he had met an acquaintance.

The students were a little surprised: Peeves, although always rude, rarely provokes school teachers on weekdays. For it, it is more interesting to provoke Filch and trick the little wizard. Today, I don't know which one is wrong, and it will have a head-on conflict with a real professor-could it be that Professor Lupin teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts? Some little wizards slandered in the bottom of their hearts.

But it's a lot of fun for the students, who really want to see the play, they want to know how good this new professor is and what kind of "spark" will be between him and Peeves "?

"Peeves is going to be out of luck," Tom whispered in Hermione's ear. Listening to Tom's words, although I don't know where Tom got his confidence, Hermione also had a little expectation in her heart.

Contrary to what the students expected, Professor Lupin did not show anger. On the contrary, he was still smiling, as if he recalled beautiful things.

"Still so energetic, Peeves," he turned the wand in his hand and fired a spell at Peeves: "Incarcerous!"

A thick rope spewed from the tip of Lupin's wand, tied Peeves firmly, and let it fall from mid-air to the ground.

"It's not enough to know spells, you have to learn the right combination of spells. For example, the Manifestation Spell just now made the enemy show up, and the rapid confinement made it incapacitated. You see, now I can do whatever I want with it. ."

When Peeves heard this, he struggled immediately, but the more the rope struggled, the tighter it became.

"Lupin--" It opened its mouth to say something, but Lupin had raised his wand to shoulder height and pointed at Peeves, "It's a useful little spell, watch it - Vardy Vassi!"

A piece of chewing gum stuck to the ground flew like a bullet and entered Peeves' nostril.

Peeves caught his breath, and then cursed.

Lupin was still smiling. He said to the students, "If you are interested, you can try it. It is best for beginners to hit a fixed target. After you are familiar with this spell, you can experience the moving target."

Peeves: !

It made contact with the malicious eyes of the little wizards, and realized that something was wrong, but before it could say anything harsh, Tom raised his wand high, and said in a similar way: "Vasily Dixie!"

A pebble hit Peeves on the forehead, knocking his hat crooked.

The other students, led by him, tried new magic with Peeves. I have to say that this spell is really simple. Although it was the first time for the little wizards present to cast this spell, almost everyone succeeded in releasing it.

For a time, all kinds of debris were thrown at Peeves, and the smart little wizard also opened a bag of Bibi Duo Beans and sprinkled them on the ground as ammunition.

Under the attack of the dense barrage, Peeves screamed again and again, rolled directly, hid in an empty classroom, hooked the door with his feet, and hid inside.

A hint of surprise flashed in Hermione's eyes. She didn't expect Professor Lupin to solve the problem in this way.

Seeing that the little wizards were doing well, Professor Lupin gave everyone applause without hesitation, "Good job!" He said with a smile, "Sometimes you have to do this when facing Peeves."

At this moment, the little wizard looked at Professor Lupin with a little more awe. Because of Lupin's shabby clothes, they were not very optimistic about this professor before. But in the process of fighting against Peeves just now, the contempt for Lupin in their hearts disappeared, replaced by a trace of awe and goodwill.

Lupin simply reversed the negative impression the little wizards had about him.

Lupin set off again with the students, through two corridors, and came to the door of the staff lounge.

"Okay, today's class will officially start soon. Believe me, the guys here are much harder to deal with than Peeves." Lupin stood in front of the door, looking at the little wizards behind him with interest.

At this moment, the door to the staff lounge was suddenly opened, and Snape stepped out from behind the door.

Little Wizard: This is indeed a lot harder to deal with than Peeves...

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lupin's Snape frown, showing a look of extreme disgust, as if he saw a large cockroach lying on the ground when he opened the bedroom door.

"Why are you here?" Snape asked in disgust.

"I'm here for class, and here are the 'teaching aids' I need." Facing Snape's undisguised malice, Lupin was extremely calm.

In the face of the war of words between the two professors, the little wizards present obediently kept silent, so as not to be involved and become cannon fodder.

"Very good," Snape also restrained his emotions, "remember to come to my office tonight to get medicine."

When it came to medicine, Snape made a point of emphasising his tone so that the students could hear it clearly.

"I'm really looking forward to what you're going to do in a year's time." Snape suddenly walked out of the lounge and turned his back to Lupin. Rather than talking to Lupin, he was talking to Ravenclaw's little wizards.

"Is it because of poor health, or was your student discovered..."

"Severus, I was invited by Dumbledore. No matter how long I teach here or why I leave, it has nothing to do with you." Professor Lupin's mood fluctuated, interrupting Snape. 's speech.

He moved out of Dumbledore to remind Snape of what Dumbledore told him. Sure enough, this sentence worked well, and Snape closed his mouth and left with a malicious smile.

"How long do you think you can hide it? A month, half a year, or a year?" Before leaving, he softly left a very lethal sentence in Lupin's ear.

Hearing this sentence, Lupin's body swayed slightly, he took a deep breath before he came back, and observed the reactions of the students. He found that these children did not seem to notice anything unusual and were still fighting for him.

From the perspective of an ordinary little wizard, it is nothing more than the evil Snape bullying the kind and gentle Professor Lupin. As for medicine? Professor Lupin's face was indeed ill, and he must have been suffering from illness.

Seeing that the students responded normally, Lupin breathed a sigh of relief and led the students into the teachers' lounge.

The staff lounge is a long room with wood-paneled walls on all four sides, and it's full of old chairs that don't fit together. The staff lounge was so shabby, which surprised the little wizards.

At the end of the lounge, there is a wardrobe where teachers put their replacement robes. As Lupin got close to it, the wardrobe began to vibrate, slamming against the wall with a thud, and the doorknob of the cabinet rattled as if something wanted to come out.

The little wizards were startled, stopped, and stared at the cabinet without blinking.

"Boggart!" Lupin patted the door of the cabinet, the sound inside stopped for a while, and then shook more violently.

Hearing this term, Hermione glanced at Tom beside her. She knew very well that her boyfriend had inherited a lot of Boggart's skills.

"Okay, I remember that Professor Lockhart seemed to have introduced Boggart to you before? But I asked some students, and he didn't seem to show you the real Boggart, so I spent a little time in the castle. I found this guy here." Lupin looked at the quiet students with satisfaction. His eyes swept across the crowd, and when he saw Hermione, he suddenly remembered something.

"As you may not know, Miss Granger published an excellent paper on Boggart in Magic last year, so Miss Granger, can you tell us a little bit about what is Boggart?"

Little wizards: !

"Magic" magazine? !

Or were there a few little wizards who had heard of the name, and they immediately cast a respectful look at Hermione: This is the top journal in the wizarding world, and she published an article in her second year? What were they doing in second grade? Why is there such a big gap between people?

Hermione smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect to be included in "Magic", and then Professor Lockhart gave me a lot of help..."

"As a research subject..." Tom complained in his heart. It's just a joke - "What research are you doing in college?" "I was researched in it."

Hermione explained a little bit, but it turned out that few of her classmates believed her - they all thought Hermione was in Versailles.

She had no choice but to give up the explanation and began to answer Professor Lupin's question: "Boggart is a deformed dark creature, it will become the most feared thing in our hearts, because it will become the most fearful thing in our hearts. A fearful thing, so no one knows what Bogut looks like when he's alone."

This is the best summary of Boggart.

But it wasn't over, Hermione continued: "Boggarts like dark and enclosed spaces, so they'll hide in closets, under beds, or in cupboards. The way to deal with Boggarts is simple, that's a group of people together. Face it, go in groups so that Boggart doesn't know what to turn into. Don't be afraid of one, there's a simple spell to repel them..."

"Excellent, Ravenclaw plus twenty points." Hermione's answer was very complete, not only introduced what Boggart is, its habits, characteristics, but also its weaknesses, even Lupin himself Couldn't have done better, which made him nod his head in satisfaction.

"If you keep talking, I'm going to lose my job," Lupin joked, making Hermione's face glow with joy. Even after three years of school, Hermione still enjoys adding points to answering questions.

"The spell to repel Boggart is simple, like the Vasidisi I just taught you, but it requires a lot of willpower, and you have to force it into an image that you find funny."

"Take out your wands and read to me... hilarious!"

The whole class repeated it several times.

"Very well," said Professor Lupin, "but the spell alone is not enough, Miss Granger, come and show us."

Hermione nervously walked in front of everyone~www.wuxiamtl.com~Professor Lupin signaled everyone to back up and leave enough space for Hermione.

Hermione stood in front of the stage, feeling a little uncertain, and she didn't know what she was most afraid of. At this time, she saw Tom under the stage quietly giving her a cheering gesture, which reassured her: no matter what, Tom was behind her to support her.

She nodded to Professor Lupin, indicating that he was ready.

Professor Lupin took his wand and pointed at the closet doorknob, "Three-two-one, let's go!"

A string of sparks from the tip of his staff hit the spherical doorknob, and the closet door swung open.
