When Lupine walked into the classroom with a smile, the students who were having a heated discussion fell silent instantly.
He put the tattered old box he was carrying on the podium and said, "Good afternoon."
His clothes are still ragged, but his complexion is obviously much better.
"Please put your textbooks back in your schoolbags." Lu Ping took out his wand, "Today is a practical class, you only need to bring this."
The students all recalled the disastrous Defense Against the Dark Arts class last year.
Lockhart brought a group of blue-skinned elves to class and released them from their cages.
Then there was the Acromantula, and then there was the Kraken in the Black Lagoon.
Practical classes are very dangerous, and students are beginning to worry.
"Okay." Lu Ping saw that everyone had packed up and picked up the old box he put on the podium, "Follow me."
Feeling uneasy, the students followed him out of the classroom.
Walking through the empty corridor and rounding a corner, they saw Peeves, the most prankster.
He was hanging head down in the air, stuffing chewing gum into the keyhole of the door in front of him.
Lupine stepped forward and suddenly raised his head.
The little devil-like face laughed.
Peeves wriggled his toed feet and suddenly began to sing:
"Crazy Lupine, big fool~ Lupine, crazy little fool~ Lupine, crazy little fool~"
Although Peeves has always been rude and disobedient to discipline, he usually respects school employees.
Dare to insult Lu Ping face to face, I think some unpleasant things must have happened between them more than ten years ago.
It is already obvious who is defeated.
"Peeves, if I were you, I would take the gum out of the keyhole."
Lupine said pleasantly: "If you do this, Mr. Filch will not be able to go in and get the broom."
"Bah!" Peeves was unmoved and spat at him.
Such a performance should mean that he suffered more than once.
"Alas -" Lupine took out his wand and turned to look at the students,
"This is a very useful little spell, please pay attention to it."
He raised his wand to shoulder height, pointed at Peeves and said the incantation: "Wadi Wasi."
With a "swish" sound, the piece of chewing gum flew out of the keyhole like a bullet and penetrated into Peeves' left nostril.
Peeves somersaulted into the air, cursed and flew away.
"Awesome!" Dean exclaimed.
"Thank you, Dean." Lupine put away his wand, "Let's move on."
The name was shouted, which instantly shortened the distance between teachers and students.
The students' eyes changed when they looked at him, becoming full of respect.
After passing through the second long corridor, Lupine stopped outside the door of the staff lounge.
"Go in." He opened the door and took a step back.
The staff lounge is a long room.
The walls are paneled with wooden boards, and the room is filled with mismatched old chairs.
There was a professor sitting on a low armchair against the wall. He was Professor Snape that the little lions least expected to see.
When the students came in, he turned his face.
Those black eyes were sparkling, and there was a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Lupine was the last to come in.
Just as he was about to close the door, Snape suddenly said: "Don't close the door, Lupin.
I think it's best that I don't witness what's about to happen."
He stood up and strode past the students, his black robe flowing behind him.
When he walked outside the door, he turned around suddenly, "Maybe no one has reminded you yet, Lupin.
There are Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley in this class, and I suggest you don't leave anything complicated to them."
Snape glanced at Vincent and Hermione with a mocking gaze,
"Unless Mr. Wayne and Miss Granger are willing to bite their ears, and you can tolerate them violating classroom discipline without deducting points."
Neville and Ron blushed instantly.
Even if it's not bad in my own Potions class, it's just as bad in other professors' classes.
Lupine raised his eyebrows, "Really? I originally wanted Neville and Ron to help me complete the first step of teaching. I believe their performance will be excellent."
The corner of Snape's mouth twitched.
He withdrew his malicious eyes, walked out of the room and slammed the door hard.
It must be more than just a failure. Maybe the handsome student who bullied James together with him was Lupin.
Vincent and Hermione looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little excited.
People should not be judged by their appearance, and the professor who dared to confront Snape finally appeared!
If he goes to Gryffindor, his house points, which have been cleared several times, will be saved.
"Okay." Lu Ping motioned for the students to follow him.
He stopped next to an old wardrobe inside. The wardrobe suddenly shook and hit the wall with a "bang bang bang" sound.
"Don't worry." A reassuring smile appeared on Lupine's face, "There is actually a Boggart inside."
Most students are even more worried.
For example, Neville is shrinking his neck, or Seamus is staring at the wardrobe in horror.
"Boggarts like dark and closed spaces very much." Lupine's tone was very gentle.
"Like the wardrobe, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink, and once I met someone who lived in a grandfather clock."
He patted and shook the closet, "This was just moved in yesterday afternoon."
I asked Professor Dumbledore to keep it so that it can be used in the third-year practical classes."
Lupine smiled and asked: "So, can anyone briefly introduce Boggart?"
Hermione quickly raised her hand,
"A Boggart is a non-existent magical creature that turns into the thing a person fears most when faced with it."
"Simple and clear introduction." Lu Ping smiled and gave her 2 points.
"So, the Boggart in this dark cabinet doesn't have a specific shape yet, because it doesn't know what the people outside the cabinet door are afraid of."
He patted the closet again, "No one knows what the Boggart looks like when it is alone, but as soon as I let it out, it will immediately become the thing that each of us fears the most."
Lupine's soft eyes swept over Neville and Ron, "Have you noticed? In fact, we have a big advantage over the Boggart.
Harry, have you discovered this advantage?"
Harry, who was named, replied hesitantly: "Well - because there are so many of us, it doesn't know what shape it should take?"
"Exactly correct!" Lu Ping nodded with satisfaction.
Gryffindor once again scored 2 points, and the little lions were no longer as worried as before.
Vincent and Hermione looked at each other again.
As expected, your principal is still your principal.
He does his duty conscientiously, dares to challenge Snape, and pays special attention to Gryffindor House.
One plus and one minus cancel each other out, and this year's Academy Cup is stable again.
