duel day at hogwarts

The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of this semester starts in the afternoon.

Sean passed by the Gryffindor student who was being pestered by Peeves, came to the classroom relaxedly, and chose a middle seat to sit down.

Peeves' presence in front of Slytherin students is very weak, because Slytherin's college ghost Bloody Baron is the only existence that Peeves fears, which also makes Peeves not easily provoke Slytherin.

students to prevent themselves from being targeted by Bloody Barrow.

Sean and Blaise sat in their seats,

Not long after, Lu Ping walked in. He looked at the students who had already arrived and said directly: "Good afternoon, everyone came very early, and many people have even prepared paper and pens.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to use them in this class. Please bring your paper and pen.

And put your books back into your schoolbags, and then please follow me in an orderly manner for the practical class we are going to have today."

Hearing this, most of the students raised their heads and looked at Lupine, including Sean.

Now Lupine still looks very miserable, and the old robes on his body are getting older and older, but his complexion is much better than before, perhaps because of the food and good rest environment at Hogwarts.

The young wizards at Hogwarts, no matter which house they belong to, are more enthusiastic about practical classes than normal classes.

At this time, they heard that Lupine was going to have practical lessons. As long as it was not an opera-style lesson like Lockhart's, they would accept it.

The little wizards who had already sat down one after another got up from their seats, took their belongings, followed Lupine, and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"professor,

Where are we going?"

"The staff lounge, there is what we need to teach today."

Having said this, Lupine stopped talking. He led a group of young wizards quickly through the corridor. At this time, Peeves, who had gone to who knows where before class, was looking for the key to a door.

Stuffing chewing gum in his mouth, he saw Lupine and the little wizards and immediately sang loudly every line and tune of the song.

"Crazy Lupine, big fool~ Lupine, crazy little fool~ Lupine, crazy little fool~"

Looking at Peeves flying overhead and constantly harassing him, Lupine signaled the team to stop, then pulled out his wand and pointed it at Peeves.

"This is a very useful little spell, everyone is optimistic about it." Turning to look at Peeves, Lupine smiled and said to him: "Peeves, if you put chewing gum in the keyhole, it will affect Mr. Filch.

Cleaner, let me take it out for you."

Having said this, Lupine raised his wand and pointed it at Peeves.

"Wadi Wasi!"

The chewing gum from the keyhole flew out and shot into Peeves' nostrils like a bullet, causing Peeves to utter an ouch,

He flipped over backwards, then flew away with a curse, quickly getting away from Lu Ping.

For the students of Hogwarts, Peeves is definitely a very troublesome existence. Is there anything that can be done about it? Now Lupine easily drove away Peeves, which immediately made the students who saw this scene respect him.

, his attitude towards Lu Ping has also changed a lot.

After walking through two corridors, the attitude of the little wizards towards Lupine changed greatly.

Opening the staff lounge, Snape, who was sitting inside, saw Lupine walking in with someone, and his face immediately turned gloomy. Without saying a word, he stood up and passed by Lupine, just passing Sean.

When he was around, his expression softened slightly, and he whispered to Sean: "How is your research on the second material substitute going?"

"We already have an idea, Professor."

"Very good, keep up the good work and strive to conquer the second material substitute next weekend."

"Okay, Professor."

The two exchanged a few words and then said no more. Snape returned to his gloomy look again, left the staff lounge, and went to his office.

Lupine looked at Snape leaving, walked to Sean, and said, "Your name is Sean, right? We met in Severus' office on the first day of school."

"Yes, Professor."

Sean could see that Lupine wanted to know him, maybe because he saw that Snape had a different attitude towards him, or maybe because he learned something, but Sean had no idea of ​​knowing him.

It's just that Sean didn't introduce his ideas, but Harry was different.

In Harry's opinion, Sean is his very important friend, and Lupine is one of the few capable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in Harry's opinion. He feels that he should introduce Sean to Lupine and let Lupine

Ping knew that Sean was not a Slytherin like Malfoy, he was a very trustworthy person.

"Professor Lupine, Sean is a student that Professor Snape values ​​very much. When he was in his first and second years, he published papers in "The Golden Crucible" and he is very good in potions.

"

Lu Ping looked at Sean clearly, with a look of surprise on his face.

The fact that Sean's thesis was published in "The Golden Crucible" is not a secret at Hogwarts, and many people know about it, but for Lupine, a down-and-out wizard who is struggling to survive and transform into a werewolf.

, of course, there is no time to learn about the geniuses of Hogwarts, and there is no extra money to buy academic magazines such as "The Golden Crucible". In fact, Lu Ping may not even be able to afford bread for survival on weekdays, so naturally there is no extra money.

The money was used for academic pursuits.

Now that he heard Harry's words and learned about Sean's talent and achievements in Potions, he was naturally very surprised.

"I really didn't know that I have a child with such amazing talent like you among my students. I hope you can show the same talent in my Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"I will try my best, Professor."

Lupine should have noticed Sean's indifference, but he didn't pay too much attention to it and turned around to continue teaching everyone.

He walked straight to the closet in the staff lounge. Normally, some professors' robes would be kept here for replacement in case of accidents. However, the frequency of use here was not high. When Lupine walked to the closet, the closet suddenly vibrated.

, and even hit the wall behind.

Seeing the nervousness of all the students at the scene, Lu Ping immediately said to everyone: "Don't be nervous, everyone. There is a Boggart in this closet. It likes to stay in dark and closed environments, especially in some places where it is old.

, The lesson I want to teach you today is how to deal with Boggart, so now, I will show you what it looks like!"
