The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

"If I were you," Dumbledore said softly, "I wouldn't try to step out of the forest."

But Dumbledore stood deeper in the Forbidden Forest and blocked the retreat. On his shoulders stood a radiant phoenix, looking down proudly at the hunchbacked figure in black robes at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The black shadow is a vampire. He immediately turned into black mist and tried to escape into the school, hoping to find some hostages to threaten. However, Dumbledore just stood there calmly, watching the black mist emerge from the forbidden forest and began to be attacked by people in the castle.

Something was wearing away, forcing him to turn into a human form and retreat. The robe on his body had become tattered, revealing the pale, deformed and thin human form underneath.

"It seems that the people behind you did not tell you the dangers of Hogwarts," Dumbledore said: "When the four founders founded Hogwarts, it was the time when wizards and dark creatures like you were fighting the most.

When it was busy, the protective magic they set up is still guarding you until now - unless I cancel it, or am unable to maintain it."

The vampire didn't have the strength to speak. He just bared his teeth, stared at his scarlet eyes, and then - chose to blow himself up into ashes.

Fawkes, the phoenix, folded its wings, and Dumbledore put down the hand holding the wand. One by one, they watched the ashes dissipate, then turned into fire and disappeared in place.

This is already the eighth incident of invasion by dark creatures that has occurred recently. The invaders were all slaves completely controlled by vampires, and did not give Dumbledore any chance to question them.

When he was free, DeWitt went to visit Hagrid, and his first words when they met were: "Congratulations! You have become the professor of Care of Magical Creatures."

"Do I look like a professor?" Hagrid asked quickly.

DeWitt had no choice but to say: "Don't forget that you are the professor."

"I know I don't look like it," Hagrid patted DeWitt on the shoulder and said, "Harry and Ron also want to lie to me - where are there professors like me?"

This was considered a forced smile. Hagrid sniffed, put his elbows on his knees to support his upper body, and said as lively as possible: "Have you... ever... heard... other students... talk about my class?

”

Maybe there was, but DeWitt didn't pay attention to it. He said kindly: "I hope you can come up with something real."

"It will definitely be exciting," Hagrid patted his chest and made a thick muffled sound. He became happy and he was obviously proud of the content of his class. He said, "You will definitely like it! I promise!"

DeWitt continued to nod cooperatively: "Okay, then I'll keep the suspense?"

"Keep the suspense!" Hagrid laughed a few times, and he did a good job of keeping the content of the class until the next day.

The first lesson on the Care of Magical Creatures has begun.

"Hippogriff," Hermione's eyes were a little dark. She looked at the group of animals that Hagrid had driven over. While Hagrid was praising these animals, she yawned and said, "xxx-level magical animals, they

…It’s very possible that it’s not as good as Hagrid said.”

After some unpleasantness caused by Malfoy, Hagrid was obviously at a loss. It was Harry who had to step forward and accept Hagrid's invitation to the students - to go up and have close contact with the Hippogriff.

Bowing first, DeWitt looked at everything. He nodded. This was something that the description in the book could not fully describe. Then he looked again. He heard Hagrid emphasize "don't blink", and then called Buckbeak on the other end.

The beast bowed back to Harry - lowering its eagle head.

It looked like a ritual, and DeWitt wasn't sure if his talent as an animal friend had expired, because he didn't hear anything said by the beasts.

After Harry rode Buckbeak and flew happily around the sky, Hagrid also gained confidence. He waved his hand and shouted: "Who else wants to try?"

Malfoy refused to admit defeat and was eager to try. DeWitt also wanted to go up and try. He glanced at Malfoy and said to Hagrid: "I'll do it!"

So Malfoy shut his mouth, kept his mouth low, and dared not speak when he was angry. It seemed that his parents taught him something and taught him humility - at least humility when facing DeWitt.

Buckbeak tilted his head and looked at DeWitt. DeWitt did as Hagrid said without considering the possibility of failure. Buckbeak quickly responded with a bow.

"...Hi?" DeWitt whispered hello when he touched Buckbeak.

Buckbeak nodded majestically, but this majesty did not have enough connotation as a filling, only animal innocence as a skeleton. It was happy to carry DeWitt for a flight.

After every student had gone smoothly, Hagrid's first class officially ended. He responded to each student's farewell radiantly and seemed to have gained confidence. When he showed it, people could see that he was taking care of himself.

The professorial airs he wears, together with the obvious overflowing joy, are not annoying, but only make people think that this big man is quite interesting.

Soon it was the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class again. The new professor was very low-key, unlike Lockhart. Although there were patches on his clothes, other than these details, he could still be considered neat. Unlike Quirrell, the students were all

Said this would be a good professor.

"Good afternoon," Remus Lupine said, "Please put your textbooks back in your bags. Today is a practical lesson. All you need is your wand."

He led the students to the staff lounge, where he met Snape. Apparently there was more than just a new feud between the two professors - everyone knew that Snape wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

——There are still old grudges. After Snape said a few vicious words, he also attacked Gryffindor Neville Longbottom and left.

"Okay." Professor Luping didn't seem to be affected at all. He calmly asked the students to pay attention to a wardrobe in the corner. It could be said that at the same moment, when most students paid attention, the wardrobe began to shake.
"Don't worry," Professor Lupine said, "There's a Boggart inside."

He briefly talked about the habits of Boggarts, then asked questions. Hermione answered the questions, earning extra points, and then taught the students spells to deal with Boggarts - these things are useful for those who want to use this knowledge to take exams.

It’s useless to readers, so I won’t mention it. There is only one point worth emphasizing: Boggart will become a fear in people’s hearts with no appearance.

According to Professor Lupine's request, the students lined up. Neville Longbottom was chosen first. He said that he was afraid of Snape, so Professor Lupine induced him - from this we can see that Lupine

The professor is not as tolerant as he seems, and he is not a good old man who does not give in. He used spells and inner fear to turn the Boggart into Snape dressed as a woman, with a stuffed vulture hat on his head.

Everyone laughed happily, including Professor Lupine.

"It's a pity that Colin Creevey is not here," Ron said: "This is the first time I miss him so much. This scene is so necessary to take a photo to commemorate."

Harry nodded in agreement and looked at the lively atmosphere. Although he didn't know what his fear was yet, he couldn't wait to get up there.
