[HP] The Elegance of the Night

In the afternoon, Igil and Draco came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the third floor along the constantly moving stairs. Today is the first class taught by Professor Lupine for the little lions and little snakes. The ragged professor looked healthier than on the train, but this was probably just because he had eaten a few solid meals. He put the tattered suitcase on the podium and told the people below that the books had been laid out and they were ready. Little wizards of quills and parchment, put the textbooks back in the bag and follow him, they only need to bring their wands, because today is a practical lesson.

"Stupid and confused Lupine." Led by the new professor, they walked out of the classroom and met the prankster Peeves in the corridor not far away. Sighing slightly, Lupine took out his wand and demonstrated a useful little spell, "Wadi Vasi!" The gum shot out of the keyhole like a bullet and into Peeves's chest. nostril.

"Brilliant, sir!" said one of the Gryffindor lion cubs in amazement, and they looked at Lupine with added respect.

The little snakes raised their chins collectively. They didn't like the new professor's clothing taste in the first place, and now they added another bad impression to him - vulgarity.

Lupine led the young wizards into the teachers' lounge in the second corridor. There was already a teacher in this long room full of old mismatched chairs, and Professor Snape sat in a Sitting in a low armchair, there was an ironic smile on his lips because of Lupine's presence.

"You don't mind if I come to observe, let the students practice in the first class, few new professors are as courageous as you," Snape's sarcasm made the little snakes laugh, "Oh , yes - Lockhart did that last term, he brought a cage of goblins and set them all out."

The faces of the little lions suddenly changed. Ron sneaked towards his ear. Last year, the goblin left a bloody tooth mark on it. Harry clenched his wand unnaturally. Ellie and Hermione followed The little witches retreated directly to the back, and the chaotic scene last year more or less left a shadow on the little lions.

"Today I'm going to teach you how to deal with Boggarts, Snape, it's harmless to people." Lupine said calmly in his hoarse voice.

A boggart is a shape-shifting creature that can take on the most terrifying image of the human heart to frighten people, but it is not aggressive.

Igil snorted coldly in the crowd. This new teacher looked harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but he had a strong desire to control. He wanted to grasp the inner weaknesses of the students in the first class?No wonder Professor Snape was here.

It's a pity that this Professor Lupine doesn't seem to know much about the education methods of the nobles in the magical world. He was tired of playing with this creature a few years ago.

"Boggart—what does this professor want to know?" Draco had a proud smile on his face. The era when this kind of deformed creature made him embarrassing has long passed, and he didn't worry about the safety of other students at all. (Like Crabbe and Gore) There's nothing to worry about if the Godfather stays here.

"Now, I need an assistant." The class continued, and the episode with Professor Snape had no effect. Professor Lupine's gaze skipped the little snakes and fell directly on the group of Gryffindors .He could sense that the little snakes didn't like him, and it had been that way since he came to Hogwarts Castle.

"Lupine, no one may have warned you, but Neville Longbottom is in this class, and I advise you not to ask him to do anything difficult." Seeing that Lupine's eyes stayed in that range, Snape said Reminding, Professor Lupine raised his eyebrows and directly chose Neville.

"I'm sure he'll do well," said Lupine cheerfully, and Snape's lips puckered up.The lesson continued, with Lupine teaching the young wizards how to effectively fight off boggarts.

"The spell to repel a Boggart is simple, but it takes willpower. What really frightens a Boggart is laughter, all you have to do is force it into something you think is ridiculous. Let's start without a wand Take this mantra and tell me...funny funny."

"Funny funny!" the little wizards chanted after him, Draco squinted at Lupin and chanted an aria that was a beat slower than the others, and Igil slapped him beside him.

"Very well—Neville, what are you most afraid of in this world?" Lupine asked his assistant, and the round-faced boy glanced at Professor Snape with his lips squirming, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Neville, I think you live with your grandmother—" Lupine guided him step by step to recall the old woman's usual attire, Snape stared at the teacher and student, his lips drawn into a line .He had already thought about what would happen next.Lupine had been at odds with him since school, but without the two central characters of the Predator quartet, did the damn werewolf think he could beat him like he used to?

Sure enough, the Boggart released from the cabinet turned into Professor Snape as soon as he came out.

"S-funny funny!" said Neville, and there was a noise like the crackling of a whip, and "Snape" stumbled into what Neville's grandmother was wearing, the witch's robes embroidered with lace, the tall taxidermy hat, There was also a huge scarlet handbag dangling in his hand.

Hahaha... The Gryffindors laughed loudly, but the laughter was soon stopped. Professor Snape sat firmly in the armchair, raised the corners of his mouth maliciously, and pronounced the sentence in a low, intoxicating voice Their punishment: "Five points from Gryffindor, each - for disrespecting the Master."

"Laughter is the best weapon, Snape. You can't deduct students' marks for laughing in class on dealing with Boggarts." Professor Lupine said, predicting the beginning but not the end , This is the gap between him who just became a teacher and Dean Snape who has been working at Hogwarts all the year round. There used to be four of them, but now he is the only one left. The times are different.

"I can tell what they're laughing at," said Snape evenly, "if your brain isn't choked up with the excitement of getting a full-fledged job it should be clear why I Only Gryffindor points deducted, look at the students below."

At this time, the Slytherin snakes in the room were hating Lupine. They knew very well that Boggart's "Dean" form was completely guided by the new professor. He seemed to have forgotten that his students were not only those Group of lion cubs.The dissatisfaction with being ignored since the beginning of class and the dean's anger at being humiliated, the little snakes have completely hated this new professor.

"Five points for Gryffindor, because Neville successfully repelled the Boggart." Lupine's tone was still calm. Even as a teacher, he still didn't like Slytherin, just like Snape did to Gryffindor from beginning to end. Like my dislike, why force myself to accept them.

"Parvati, step forward!" Lupine commanded, the Gryffindor girl scowled nervously, and with a pop, the Boggart turned into a bandaged, bloodstained mummy.

"Funny funny!" Parvati yelled, as the mummy tripped over the unraveling bandages on her feet.Lupine added five points to her, and then called another cub by name.

Professor Lupine didn't call any little Slytherin wizards by their names. In order to make up for the credits lost by Gryffindor, he deviated from the original plan of assigning them in turn. Boggarts suddenly turned into female ghosts in front of the little lion; Will become a mouse; a moment and become a big spider.Every successful Lupine would give them five points.Professor Snape always had a smile on his face, and things were going his way, and he appreciated the performance of the Gryffindor cubs as an interesting farce.

"Ellie, come forward!" Professor Lupine called.

Ellie hurried across the crowd, and the Boggart turned into a strange girl in the crackling sound. Igil didn't think how scary that foreign girl with an oriental face was, but Ellie screamed loudly.

"Funny funny..." Ellie yelled, and the Boggart transformed before her into an unusually handsome dark-haired boy in a Slytherin uniform, a silver prefect's badge gleaming on his chest.The little snakes had never seen him before, so they started whispering.

"Ah!" Just when everyone thought that Ellie succeeded, the red-haired girl screamed and crawled to hide behind Harry Potter. Only then did the little wizards realize that Boggart turned into Miss Windsor. The appearance of hope, but another existence that frightened her.

"Funny..." Harry raised his wand, and Professor Lupine stood in front of Harry before the Boggart transformed.

Snapped!A silver-white sphere hung in the air in front of Professor Lupine, "Funny!" He said, the sphere in front of him dissipated, and the Boggart was repelled and hid in the closet again.

Ellie staggered out from behind Harry, her face pale, and everyone could see that she was quite frightened.

"Ellie, do you want to try again?" Lupine looked at the girl and urged, "You can make it." He didn't know who the boy the Boggart conjured was, and if he knew, he wouldn't be so calm.

"I...I want to go back." Ellie's whole body was trembling, she stepped back and squeezed out of the crowd, pulled open the handle of the teachers' lounge, and rushed out the door, as if there was a ghost chasing her behind .

"Windsor was so frightened that he even asked her to try it."

"If she doesn't try, how can I get back the Gryffindor credits." Several girls in Slytherin sneered at the back, their voices were not soft at all, and the lion cubs focused their attention on Lupine. The new professor looked a bit haggard, the little snakes were still whispering and discussing the boy who had just appeared, and there was no classroom discipline in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"It seems that I shouldn't have expected anything from you." Snape stood up and walked past all the students, his black robe fluttering behind him until he disappeared outside the door.

The Voldemort played in the Ring Soul movie got nothing but the broken body left after alchemy, and then he was transformed beyond recognition by several black magic, except for a few loyal Death Eaters who followed him from the beginning, and young people in the magic world. Elderly, few people can connect handsome Tom with the snake-faced You-Know-Who.

"Who is that Slytherin boy, do you know him?" Among the lions, Hermione saw Harry and Ron look restless, and pulled them directly behind.

"Hermione, you better not know..." Ron sighed.Harry glanced in Igil's direction, Draco was pulling the boy to discuss in a low voice.

"The boy's school uniform is an old style. It's strange how Windsor has seen it?" Draco said suspiciously, he still saw this style in the old family photos.

"..." Igil's eyes flickered and he remained silent. He didn't know how to answer his roommate. Fortunately, Draco didn't care about it. He didn't know that the boy who appeared in front of them just now was the one who terrified them. exist.

Things in the world are so dramatic, Lupine stood in front of Harry afraid that 'that person' would appear, but he didn't expect that when 'that person' appeared in front of everyone in another way, no one recognized him.

Merlin also felt bored sometimes, so he made a small joke with everyone. Fortunately, the truth is in the hands of a few people, and ignorant people are indeed the happiest...
