Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 19 One Hundred Ways to Die in the Wizarding World
The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is named Professor Francis. Professor Francis is also the head of Slytherin.

"The dean of Slytherin actually teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, why do I not believe it?" Hugo sat in the last row of the underground classroom and muttered.

"Don't guess, James' Defense Against the Dark Arts is top-notch, and he said that Professor Francis is not bad," Lily said.

In fact Lily was right, Professor Francis was strict but not partial, treated Gryffindors the same way he treated Slytherins, but the way he taught was not interesting.

"Defense against the Dark Arts is a profound knowledge. I hope that each of you will study it seriously. There is no shortage of black magic in the wizarding world. Even though the dark ages have passed, there are still many black magics just around the corner. If you were dragged into a swamp and drowned for no reason, or saw a black bone and lost your eyesight, you should learn to recognize the essence of black magic." Professor Francis said sharply to each new student.

His words were very effective, every freshman showed a trace of surprise on his face, he didn't understand why the black bones were so terrible, just looking at them would make them blind.

"Professor, may I ask why the black bones are so powerful that you will lose your sight just by looking at them?" A girl raised her hand impatiently and asked.

Professor Francis did not immediately answer the question.

"If you lose your eyesight just by looking at it, then the wizard who made this bone can still see?" Hugo muttered worriedly.

"Is this something you should be concerned about?" Lily said angrily.

Professor Francis did not explain to everyone what this kind of black bone is. He continued to spend half an hour explaining to all the freshmen a hundred unimaginable ways of death in the wizarding world. These ways of death include: accidentally stepping on A piece of wood can no longer move and can only wait to die in place, suffocate to death by smelling a smell of cheese in the dark, open a bloody book and disappear in the book, be bitten by a magic mosquito and die die……

Professor Francis only talked about a hundred ways to die inexplicably due to black magic in the wizarding world, but he did not explain to everyone what these black magics are and how to deal with them.At the end, he said: "If you don't want to die for no reason, just listen to me carefully, keep up with my lessons, and take notes carefully, so that in the future you will not suffocate to death because of the smell of cheese for no reason. "

Although Professor Francis' class is not as interesting as Professor Flitwick's, his method is undoubtedly very effective. "One Hundred Unbelievable Ways to Die a Wizard" successfully scared everyone. In his class, no one dared to If you deserted, I was afraid that if you lost a little knowledge, going to the toilet in the future would be life-threatening.

"I swear I will never eat cheese again from today." Hugo said in a low voice.

"Oh yeah? Who ate the three mango cream cheesecakes last night?" Lily asked.

“Except the mango cream cheesecake.”

Maureen found the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to be a torment, because Professor Francis's voice did not fluctuate and made people drowsy, but every time everyone wanted to sleep, he would suddenly say "" When it comes to a strange way of death, everyone immediately wakes up. This feeling of wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep is really worrying.

After class, everyone didn't seem very happy, because Professor Francis assigned a lot of homework, one of which was a thesis on what medieval black wizards like to do with rabbit tails, and listed five ways to break the black magic means.

"Taking his class makes me feel that my life is in danger at any time." Mo Lin couldn't help but said when the get out of class was over.

"That's right, I now feel that when I walk through this wall, I might be smashed to death by the paintings on the wall."

Hugo moved two steps to the side, away from the wall full of landscape paintings. Professor Francis just mentioned that if a painting is hit, it will be permanently imprisoned in the painting. The moving portraits in the castle lost their enthusiasm.

There were no classes in the last two periods of the afternoon, and they planned to go to the library to look for materials to write the thesis on black magic with rabbit tails.But passing through the corridor on the third floor, they came face to face with James and Albus, who looked furtive.

"James, Albus, you two don't have lessons?" Lily asked suspiciously.

James made a silent movement: "Don't talk, we have to do something."

Maureen saw that Albus cleverly put away a quick-acting skipping candy, and everyone already understood why the two of them were here.

"What are you doing?" Merlin asked.

"Declare war on Peeves," James said solemnly.

Hugo said cursingly, "Take me! He threw dragon dung manure at me in the morning and said I looked like a walking mandrake, that dwarf!"

Albus shook his head: "No, you don't know a single spell, it will only hinder us, we would rather take Maureen."

Hugo took out his wand and said unconvinced: "Who said I can't spell, look, I'm alive!"

A burst of flame erupted from the tip of Hugo's wand, setting the floor on fire.

James and Albus looked at Hugo with some doubts: "Is this a folding spell? How did it turn into a flame?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I won't hold you back." Hugo wasn't ashamed at all, and turned his head and whispered to Molin, "Anyway, magic can scare people, and it doesn't matter if the spell is right or not, right?"

Maureen laughed, unable to refute.A jet of water from James' wand extinguished Hugo's flame, and said, "Forget it, don't make any noise, come with me."

"I'm not going, it's boring." Lily shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to get involved in the boys' pranks.

"You won't think so when you've been tricked by Peeves." Hugo shouted towards Lily's back.

They follow James and Albus to the Northwest Tower, where there is a magic art classroom, the art classroom is specially for students who are interested in drawing to practice drawing.

James took out the Marauder's Map. The Marauder's Map showed the appearance of the entire Hogwarts, as well as various secret passages. Everyone's name would be displayed on the map, and who was where was clearly recorded. .

Along the way, Hugo wanted to grab the Marauder's Map, but James refused.

"Can't you make a copy of the Marauder's Map? Uncle George should have a solution?" Hugo asked.

James looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He turned into a corridor and replied, "The Marauder's Map cannot be copied. The materials for making this map are hard to come by. You can't just get a piece of parchment." Made it."

Mo Lin asked, "Then how are you going to deal with Peeves?"

"The plan is this, Albus will get Peeves' attention, and I'll stick Peeves to the wall with ghost glue when I get the chance, and you'll shoot him with dung." James took out of his schoolbag. A few bags of black dung eggs were given to Maureen and the others.

The dung egg is the size of a finger, looks bright and beautiful from the outside, and even exudes a strange fragrance, but if you accidentally squeeze it, the stinky juice inside will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Can smell, impossible to remove without special spells.

"The spell is Urad. Think about Peeves, and the dung eggs will attack Peeves. Remember, when the dung eggs explode, you must hide two meters away, or you will suffer." James warned. He said, "Trust me, you definitely don't want to eat with a stinky body, you will be kicked out, we want Peeves to take a stinky bath, so that he can have a long memory."

Mo Lin knew the effect of dung eggs, and the liquid that exploded underneath might make people spit out overnight.

"There are two doors in this classroom. I go in through the front door, and you go in through the back door. James is quick to move. Once the ghost glue doesn't stick to Peeves, he will run through the wall. The ghost glue can prevent him from going through the wall. ’ said Albus seriously.

Mo Lin didn't want to go at first, after all, it's not a good thing to fight against Peeves on the first day of school, but Hugo forced him, Mo Lin thought it's just for fun anyway, it doesn't matter, so he agreed.
