The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Taking over the task of helping Hagrid, Link escorted the three Harrys back to Hogwarts before dark.

As for Hagrid himself, he was still drinking and lying in the hut.

Ron originally wanted to stay in the hut to comfort Hagrid, but was forcefully taken away by Link.

Hagrid was greatly stimulated today, and it was far from being solved by a few words of comfort.

Link thought it would be better to leave him alone.

After dealing with the Harry trio, Link immediately approached Emily and asked about Draco.

"The person who accompanied him to the infirmary said that he only suffered some flesh wounds and would be fine in a few days. However, he has expressed his intention to make Hagrid and Harry pay the price, so he will probably pretend for a while. Let’s put some pressure on the school due to his illness.”

After listening to Link's story, Emily said hesitantly, "Well, I'll go back and hit him again to stop him from all those messy thoughts."

"No! You must not interfere in this matter. Just handle the condolences as usual. I will take care of other matters."

Link said hurriedly.

Help Hagrid, help Hagrid, he didn't want to make it difficult for Emily.

If you think about it carefully, you will know.

As a Slytherin leader, Emily not only refused to offer condolences and help when a classmate of her own college was injured, but instead warned the person not to fight back and retaliate?

What will others think?

Emily naturally understood. She smiled sweetly and leaned closer to Link.

Under her feet, Akam was using his tail as a dog toy, teasing Doug and making him bite up and down.

Doug is indeed a stupid dog. As a thousand-year-old basilisk, Arkham has an aura of superiority. Ordinary animals can't even run away when they see it.

Doug played with Arkham vigorously, and was not afraid of Arkham biting him and sending him away.

Emily and Link just leaned together in the night, silently watching the interaction between Arkham and Doug, with no one wanting to speak.

But the strange thing is that the two of them are not embarrassed at all.

Instead, I felt extremely peaceful and happy.

Sometimes feelings are just that simple.

As long as you are here, that is enough.

……

One noon a week later, Link was having lunch with John and Cedric as usual, and there was a lot of noise around them.

Especially at the Slytherin long table, Draco was bragging about how he used the name of Professor Snape to direct Harry Ron to do this and that.

His storytelling ability was obviously much better than Ron's, so the Slytherins around him would burst into deafening laughter from time to time.

After inserting a piece of salt and pepper potato into the bag, Link shook his head disdainfully.

What Emily guessed happened.

This guy Draco started his career as an actor.

With his arm slung in a bandage, he went around publicizing that he was injured by Hagrid's stupid animals. He also used the excuse that he was a wounded person all day long to torment Harry and Ron to do this and that for him. This made Harry and Ron miserable. .

This made Link very much doubt whether Draco had been cast a forgetting spell during the holidays. Only then did he forget about the shadow of being beaten last semester and become so jumpy.

But suspicion was suspicion, but Link didn't go to trouble Draco.

After all, Link only agreed to help Hagrid solve the troubles from the top, but he never said that he would also solve the emotional dispute between Harry and Draco.

After watching Draco's performance happily again, Link took John and started walking towards the floating stairwell.

Later they will have their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the semester.

Although it was still some time before class, I still met many Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws who were also going to class along the way.

They all have one thing in common, that is, they are very excited.

This is as it should be.

Because Professor Lu Ping gave a class to other students last week, and it was said that the effect was very good, and everyone said it was good!

"Link, do you think Professor Lupine will take the classes he taught in other grades today?"

Halfway through, John asked excitedly after hearing the descriptions of other students.

"There is a high probability that it will happen," Link raised his eyebrows and analyzed after hearing this, "After all, the two previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors he had were really terrible, which made the students naturally treat him as a professor. There is prejudice, and everyone's desire to learn is not too strong. If he wants to break this situation, he needs to use a unique and special premiere to change the impression of himself and the Defense Against the Dark Arts course in everyone's minds. And just So far, his debut has been very successful, so there is a high probability that he will continue to copy this model to expand his influence."

Perhaps he didn't expect Link to explain so much. After hearing this, John froze in place for a while and then showed a look of surprise.

Because although Link's explanation is a bit unclear, it does make sense overall.

This means that he is very likely to experience the mysterious course that everyone has praised today.

The surrounding students also heard Link's explanation about today's course. Everyone walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with happy faces and looking forward to it.

When Link and the others arrived, many people had already gathered in the classroom. Today's classroom was different from the past.

All the desks and chairs were piled up against the walls, leaving a large open space in the classroom.

On this open space is a dilapidated wooden wardrobe, which was used by professors in the past to store their clothes.

Professor Luping just stood next to the closet, chatting and laughing with a group of enthusiastic classmates.

The arrival of Link and others naturally attracted Lupine's attention. He first winked at Link, then glanced at the vertical pendulum clock in the corner, then waved and shouted:

"Okay students, although there is still some time before class begins, since everyone has already arrived, I will take some of your time to explain."

As soon as Lu Ping said this, the originally lively classroom fell silent. Everyone looked at Lu Ping in anticipation, waiting for what he would say next.

When Lupine saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

He bowed to everyone and then continued:

"First of all, I would like to introduce myself. I am Remus John Lupin, your new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their support. I am really flattered that everyone can come so early. I think the whole Apart from our respected Professor McGonagall, the only professor in Hogwarts who can make all students arrive at the classroom ten minutes early is a certain professor who doesn't like washing his hair."

The students suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone obviously knows who the professor who doesn't like washing his hair is.

Lupine continued:

"Let's get back to business. In fact, I originally planned to help you advance the course quickly. After all, you will face the OWL exam next year, and your previous two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were obviously very concerned about your results. Not very interested."

"But considering this is our first class this semester, so after asking the opinions of several classmates, I decided to introduce you to this creature called Boggart!"

After Lu Ping finished speaking, he pointed the wand in his hand towards the old wardrobe, and a series of collision sounds came from inside.

It was as if there was something in the closet and he was struggling to escape.
