A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Aaron ate lunch absentmindedly, not even noticing the people sitting next to him.

"What did Professor Snape tell you?" Draco asked curiously.

"You would probably be very excited if you knew it." Aaron said with a wry smile, "By the way, what is the relationship between Sirius Black and Harry Potter's parents?"

"Ah?" Draco looked a little surprised, "You really don't know?"

"Should I know?" Aaron asked, "Mr. Lucius may often share some current events in the magical world with you, but my parents are often not at home."

"That's it!" Draco suddenly realized, then looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no one else, he lowered his voice: "The reason why I know is because my mother is Sirius Black's cousin, and Sirius was My mother was shocked when she escaped from Azkaban. Only then did I know what Sirius had done."

"Everyone knows that he killed thirteen Muggles." Aaron said impatiently.

"That's not the point." Draco said seriously, "The reason why Harry Potter's parents were killed by Voldemort was because...Sirius Black revealed their location."

Aaron's pupils shrank, "That means Sirius Black indirectly killed Harry's parents."

"You can say that." Draco shrugged, "Now that Sirius Black has come out of Azkaban and appears near Hogwarts, his target is obviously Harry Potter."

Hearing this, Aaron frowned.

He felt something was not right, but he couldn't put it into words.

"Draco, you can't tell Harry Potter about this." Aaron looked at him seriously and said.

"Why?"

"Because if he knew the truth, he might try his best to get revenge on Sirius."

"No way!" Draco smiled disapprovingly: "Is he that stupid?

Sirius was much more powerful than him, seeking revenge from him would definitely be a recipe for death, and Hogwarts was guarded by dementors, so he couldn't even leave the castle. "

"He is so stupid, you let him find Voldemort..."

"Don't say that name." Draco said awkwardly.

"All right!

If you ask him to find a mysterious person, he may not dare, but Sirius is different.

If he knew the truth, he would definitely risk everything to fight Sirius, and it would not be impossible to even use himself as bait. "

Gulu!

Draco couldn't help but swallow, feeling a little scared.

His previous provocation in Potions class was entirely because he felt that Harry Potter did not dare, but if Harry Potter really went to seek revenge from Sirius, he would have to bear a certain responsibility, at least in terms of conscience. The condemnation cannot be passed.

"I know, I promise not to tell him."

"I know you're unhappy with him, but this matter is more serious."

"I know the seriousness, but I wouldn't joke with his life."

Aaron nodded, still very satisfied with Draco's attitude.

He turned his attention to Crabbe and Goyle next to Draco, smiled and asked: "What about you? Can you guarantee it?"

The two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Wait a minute." Draco suddenly thought of something, "We don't have to tell anyone, but what if he finds out through other means?"

"As long as you have a clear conscience, why do you care so much?" Aaron said nonchalantly. It's good that they can control their own mouths. They can't stop others from seeking death.

The sky seemed to be getting a little darker in the afternoon.

With a heavy heart, Aaron entered the Potions Professor's office with the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook.

"It came on time." Snape said with satisfaction.

"Professor, I still hope you can think about it carefully.

After all, we are colleagues. What misunderstandings did we have in the past that we can’t sit down and talk about? "

"Aaron, you are still too young." Snape patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "In the future, you will find that there are some things worth remembering for a lifetime, and I believe Lupine thinks so too."

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly. If it weren't for the pressure of using Snape to block Dumbledore, he would never do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit himself.

"follow me."

Snape led the way in high spirits, but he did not go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Where are we going?"

"The staff lounge," Snape said inscrutably, "He just applied to the principal yesterday."

The two arrived at this spacious room fifteen minutes early. Snape directly moved a chair and sat down. "Put your textbooks away. We have to behave naturally."

Aaron chuckled and shook his head, throwing the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook to Abe, who skillfully stuffed the book into his pocket.

"See that cupboard?" Snape said, pointing to a wardrobe at the back of the room. "There's a Boggart in it. Lupine will probably use it for his practical lessons."

"Really?" Aaron became interested, "It seems that this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is quite capable!"

"Hmph!" Snape snorted unconvinced, "It's just sensationalism. If I were the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I would never waste the class like this."

"Do you know what a boggart is?"

"It is mentioned in the book that some people say it is the most powerful master of transfiguration."

"That's right. It will become the thing that scares you the most, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

Aaron raised his eyebrows and silently thought about what he was afraid of.

But after thinking for a while, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't seem to come up with an answer.

Voldemort, rule out, he killed Voldemort several times.

Parents, excluded, he had never been afraid of them.

The full class schedule is not right either. He is not satisfied with this arrangement, but when it comes to future development, he will not refuse.

"I'm really curious."

"Your curiosity will be satisfied soon." Snape said solemnly, "Don't let me down, otherwise Dumbledore will..."

"Professor, since when did you like to threaten people?" Aaron curled his lips speechlessly, "Also, I don't like dealing with the principal, but it's not because I'm afraid, but because I feel that I will suffer a loss. This feeling is very real. .

But what I didn't expect is that now you actually make me feel this way. "

Snape's face twitched slightly, and he felt a little guilty that he didn't dare to look at Aaron, but he quickly calmed down, "Sometimes feelings can be deceiving."

At this moment, the door to the staff room suddenly opened, and the third-year Gryffindors filed in.

Professor Snape moved into a comfortable but casual sitting position without leaving any trace, but the sarcasm in his eyes was barely concealed.

Professor Lupine finally entered the staff lounge. He was not surprised to see Snape and closed the door behind him calmly.

"Lupin." Snape stood up with a sneer, "This is your first class. If you don't mind if I come to watch!"

"Of course I don't mind, just watch it if you want!" Lu Ping said nonchalantly, "My Defense Against the Dark Arts class is quite exciting."

Lupine emphasized the pronunciation of 'my Defense Against the Dark Arts', as if he knew very well that this was a position that Snape applied for many times but failed to get.

"I hope I can see you again at this time next year." Snape replied not to be outdone. The position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts seemed to be cursed. He would leave for various reasons within one year.

"Swords and swords!" Aaron secretly sighed in his heart. The grudge between Snape and Lupine seemed to be deeper than he thought. There was not a single curse word in his words, but they were full of provocations and curses.

"You don't need to worry about this." Lupine turned around and looked at the Gryffindors, leading them to the old wardrobe.

Sensing someone approaching, the wardrobe suddenly shook, frightening several students in the front row to step back.

"Don't worry, there's a Boggart inside." Professor Lupine said in a gentle tone, but these students still didn't feel very safe.

Because when Lockhart released those elves last year, he showed more confidence than him, but the result... is hard to describe, and can even be described as a mess.

"Can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"

"No one knows." Hermione took the initiative to speak, "Boggarts can transform. Whatever the people who see them are most afraid of, they will turn into whatever they are, so they are so..."

"So terrifying." Professor Lupine continued, "That's right, five points for Gryffindor.

Boggarts like dark and closed spaces. Wardrobes, cupboards, and even under beds are its hiding places.

Its abilities are too incredible. If you can't deal with it, it will be very troublesome, and even moving may not be useful.

The boggart in the cabinet doesn't have a specific shape yet, but when I let it out, it will take on the form of what we fear most.

However, we have a huge advantage in keeping it at a loss.

Harry, do you know this advantage? "

Harry was stunned for a moment, wondering why Professor Lupine asked him to answer the question.

But he could barely guess the answer, and said with some uncertainty: "Because there are so many of us, it doesn't know what it should become."

"That's right, five points for Gryffindor." Lupine raised his eyebrows at Snape and continued: "This is one of the ways to deal with Boggarts, go together, because it can't deal with two people at the same time. personal."

"Tch!" Snape curled his lips disdainfully.

"What's wrong, Professor?" Aaron asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with what Professor Luping said?"

"No problem, but there are too many extra points. If it were me, one point would be enough."

puff!

Aaron pursed his lips and tried his best to hold back the urge to laugh.

one cent? That's really an extreme luxury.

In his impression, Professor Snape never gave any points to Harry Potter. Instead, for some reason, he kept finding faults with him and deducting points in various ways.

If Hermione Granger hadn't earned points back in other classes, Gryffindor's grades at the end of each semester would have been absolutely miserable.
