Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 86 Assistant
A cold wind blew away the uneven 1994, rolled up the residual snow on the field, and made the noses of the students anxious about their duel points between the snowdrifts turn red.

Also in this cold wind, Hagrid was busy rebuilding his hut. He didn't let other people use magic to help, and insisted on repairing it brick by brick. He moved the stove outside the house, and the injured hound Fangleg With a bandage on his face, he lay listlessly beside the stove.

"My poor Nifflers!" Hagrid shoveled the frozen dirt and blew his nose into a bandanna that looked like a tablecloth. "I put them in to keep warm, but I killed them... and Lovely Flobber caterpillars... what evil people would go out of their way to attack these innocent animals!"

Sirius didn't know what to say, so he patted Hagrid on the back.

"He also hurt you. You bled a lot. It really scared me. Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey was able to do something... I heard Dumbledore say that some mysterious man did it when he was young, and that he The remnant soul escaped, and I didn't understand what was going on."

"In other words, Voldemort will return," Sirius explained briefly.

Hagrid had a fleeting look of fear at Sirius' mention of Voldemort's name, but soon he was turning around and digging viciously as if Voldemort's face was on the clods under the shovel. .

Across the field, Peter walked towards Hagrid and Sirius. He had been guiding the students who were practicing dueling along the way. Sirius saw him first and waved to him. When Peter came to them, Hagrid put down his shovel and put Grilled mushroom skewers simmering on the stove for him.

"Peter, you're hurt, eat more," Hagrid said eagerly, "I put butter on the roasted mushrooms, it's delicious, try it while it's hot."

Peter took the roasted mushrooms and ate them, and they tasted really good, but he had to try not to see the sludge stuck in Hagrid's huge nails.

Hagrid shoveled the soil, panting heavily: "When I rebuild the hut, I'll call Harry and the others over here, and have a party here to celebrate the recovery of Peter and Sirius, go to his mystery man! I want him to know that he's doing all these damn attacks for nothing!"

Peter was chewing roasted mushrooms, and hearing Hagrid's words, he felt his stomach warmer, and Sirius laughed, and Peter stuffed Sirius with a thick stack of parchment.

"What's this?" asked Sirius.

"The activity plan of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club." Peter said with a smile, "You have worked in underground dueling fields in foreign countries for many years, and you must have a lot of experience worth sharing."

"Do you need me to be your assistant? Of course, I would like to, but—" Sirius seemed a little embarrassed.

"You don't want to meet Severus, do you? I wouldn't be so stupid as to squeeze the two of you together, I saw him yesterday, he didn't look like he could afford a practice lesson, his neck It was so swollen that I couldn't move my right arm, and I don't know what happened to him."

"Is that the injury he got when he saved you last time?" Sirius asked with a frown.

"Yes," said Peter.

"To be honest, if you give me another one hundred chances, I would never have imagined that he would risk his life to save you... What is he doing for?"

"I was actually shocked too, especially when he was in a werewolf state," Peter glanced at Hagrid, confirming that Hagrid couldn't hear his words. If a secret is known by Hagrid, it is not far from being known by the whole world. "Maybe he is far more noble than we imagined."

Sirius looked distraught: "I didn't mean to kill him, I forgot what the hell I was thinking with my big head in the water, I just seemed to find him annoying, stalking us, spying on us, like I used to think Kreacher was annoying, and I wanted to get rid of him, but this way of getting rid of..."

"Okay, Sirius." Seeing Sirius in such pain, Peter couldn't bear it, "The thing has already happened, and there is no point in regretting it... Fortunately, he is still alive, so the whole thing is not so terrible. redeemed."

"How can this matter be undone!" Sirius tore his hair carelessly: "I saw his face... the cheekbones were exposed, and that hand, with only two fingers left, he was dead Anyway, it’s better to be happy, and I won’t be so sad in my heart... I can’t believe that I would do such a stupid thing and cause such an unforgivable result.”

"We were all stupid when we were young, and we didn't care about the consequences... He is not young either. As time goes by, he may forgive you, and this matter will truly be a thing of the past." Peter comforted him very much against his will.

"No, I think this incident is an indelible stain on me," Sirius clenched his fists, "When I was suffering from dementors in Azkaban, a terrible thought kept haunting me mind: maybe I have inherited the paranoia and madness of the Black family."

"You are a Black, Black is a part of you, you should be proud of yourself." Peter said firmly, "Your brother Regulus Black is a very brave man."

Sirius was silent for a while, and then he continued in a hoarse voice, "Regulus once made a mistake, but he bravely corrected himself. I wanted to apologize at Christmas, but in the end I almost got married to Sne Putting up a fight, well, why did he have to mention James?"

"We knew that James had nothing to do with this, and we tried our best to save him, but he always thought that James had a part in it—" Hagrid leaned over to hear what they were talking about. , "—it's nothing, Hagrid, we're chatting about some past events." Peter said discreetly.

"If you need me to be your assistant, just let me know, and I'll be there anytime." Sirius finally muttered.

At the beginning of the new semester, Peter will officially start the Defense Against the Dark Arts club. Club activities will be paralleled with open classes, which will undoubtedly greatly increase his burden, so he plans to select an outstanding student from each of the four colleges as an assistant.

The candidate for the assistant of Slytherin House has been confirmed—Christine Evan, as soon as Peter made this suggestion, he agreed without hesitation. Adding one more position is obviously beneficial to his position in Slytherin House Harmful.

The other three houses... It would be great to have Hermione as Gryffindor's assistant. Based on Peter's understanding of her character, it is almost impossible for her to refuse. As for Hufflepuff and Ravenclae, let the points Excellent students can recommend themselves.

On the way back to the castle through the field, Peter found that the students who practiced the duel still hadn't dispersed, and he didn't know which students' points would be ranked first.
