Chapter 174
Chapter 172 Snape got his wish
It’s a pity that the good times don’t last long.
After graduation, Lupin, who was immersed in friendship, had to start to face reality. As a werewolf, it was difficult to get a decent job, which made his life impoverished ever since.
But it doesn’t matter no matter how hard he is, he can always persevere if he is tough.
But what makes him sad the most is that he once scared a child on a full moon night.
Although he tried his best to suppress his own wolfishness and quickly left the place, he would never forget the look that kid looked at him.
Lupin is a person who likes children very much. At that time, he felt disgusted with himself for the first time.
In the past, even if he knew that he was abnormal, he often viewed own as a victim. This is indeed the case.
But from that day on, he began to understand a result that made him very sad: sometimes, the victim can also become the perpetrator, at least for him.
In addition, when confronting Voldemort later, his best friend James and his wife, Peter Pettigrew died one after another, and Sirius Black went to jail, which made him extremely painful.
After becoming a werewolf, Lupin looked very ugly, but still maintained his sanity under the effect of the wolf poison potion.
He stayed quietly in the corner, his eyes faint.
…
Ulysses walked on the way to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.
The wind was howling outside, the rain was pouring, and the rain was stronger than ever. The corridors and classrooms looked very dim, and there were more torches and lanterns.
The torrential rain made Ulysses’ mood a little depressed, and the sound of raindrops on the windows was even more annoying.
Ulysses prefers drizzle weather. He can walk on the paths dotted with grass, quietly think about some problems or simply enjoy the rain.
Today is the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the fourth grade, and tomorrow is the third grade, but if no surprises, the professor will have to change temporarily.
After stepping into the classroom, Professor Snape in a black robe was already standing on the podium, with a smile inadvertently at the corner of his mouth.
After so many years at Hogwarts, he finally got his wish as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts class—even if only for two days.
This class is taught by Slytherin and Ravenclaw together. Qiu Zhang hesitated and walked in, wondering if he had gone to the wrong classroom, and asked suspiciously:
“Where is Professor Lupin?”
“He said he was very sick today and couldn’t come to class anymore, so he specifically asked me to substitute for the class.”
Professor Snape was obviously in a good mood. He ignored the more or less questioning of Qiu Zhang’s words, waved his hand, and said after everyone arrived:
“Professor Lu Ping didn’t leave any records, so I don’t know how far you have learned—obviously, his teaching lacks discipline. If your professor was me at the beginning, of course this would not happen.”
“We learned Bogut, Red Hat, Kabbah and Grindillo.”
Qiu Zhang’s roommate, Marietta Ekmo raised her hand in disgust and said, “He is the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher who has taught us.”
The other Ravenclaw students nodded and whispered in agreement.
The faint smile on Professor Snape’s face quickly converged, appearing more aggressive than ever.
“That is too easy for you to satisfy. Professor Lu Ping did not add any burden to you. He taught something that freshmen should know. The things we are discussing today may not be unfamiliar to you, and they are still guarding loyally. Our castle…”
His tone was as sarcasm as before, and he flipped through the textbook until he turned to the penultimate chapter, “Dementor.”
The Slytherin students naturally supported their dean unconditionally, while the Kitty Hawks seemed very opinionated, but they didn’t dare to speak out.
“Regarding the content of werewolves, I once told you in my potions class how to distinguish between werewolves and real wolves, and listed some ways to save lives in the hands of werewolves.”
Professor Snape looked around the classroom with sharp eyes, passing everyone’s face, “If you cherish your little life, you should print my words in your mind like a typewriter. Therefore, I won’t repeat it in this lesson. ”
“Who can tell me what dementors he knows like?”
Ulysses propped his head, without much expectation in his eyes. He is planning to catch a dementor and come back for research in the past two days. The content of the course is already a bit shallow for him.
Gerrard, who was sitting next to him, took a look and raised his hand when he saw that no one was moving.
“Mr. Rozier.”
Professor Snape waved away and Gerrard stood up.
“Azkaban’s guard is a dark magical creature. It is covered in a cloak and feeds on human happiness. It reminds people of the most terrible things. The’mouth’ under the hood can suck human souls… Known as the’Dementor’s Kiss’.”
“According to the book.”
Professor Snape lazily commented, “But the textbook also summarizes the characteristics of the Dementor perfectly. Slytherin adds very much.”
“Under the influence of the dementor, the wizard will feel the surrounding light absorbed and gradually sink into darkness. Courage and hope fade away, and nothingness gradually takes over in his heart. If he can’t be rescued in time, he will eventually be sucked into the soul…”
Professor Snape was walking around in the classroom, talking eloquently. Ulysses was a little curious why he knew so much so clearly, when he saw him suddenly turn around and asked loudly.
“Who knows a way to deal with dementors? Although they are now the guards of Hogwarts, no one can guarantee that one day they will not become enemies…”
When they first arrived at Hogwarts, both Gerald and Millie, who were in the same carriage as Ulysses, looked at Ulysses for the first time, but he just smiled faintly and didn’t want to join in the fun.
Ulysses smiled secretly in his heart. Don’t look at Professor Snape’s usual image of a stranger and harsh tongue, he still cares about the safety of his students.
Professor Snape didn’t seem to expect anyone other than Ulysses to answer. After glancing at Ulysses, he saw that the classroom was silent, and said to himself:
“Let me tell you… There is only one way to deal with dementors, and that is the guardian spell… This is a very difficult guardian magic. When you cast a spell, you need to remember the happiest thing in your life… …I don’t expect each of you to be able to master this curse, but at least you must have the most basic understanding of it…”
“The spell is ExpectoPatronum.”
Ravenclaw’s little eagles were obviously dissatisfied with Professor Snape’s evaluation of them, and in the following time they tried unconvincedly to release the Patronus Charm, but all ended in failure without exception.
Gerrard and Millie were obsessed with teaching Ulysses to teach them the patron saint spell, and they all cast their eyes on him at this time.
