I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 156 Stigma

The first Quidditch match was approaching, but the weather in the British Isles was getting worse and worse. In order to accompany Harry in training, Orlando had to frequently use transformation spells to transform everyone into a hut that could temporarily withstand the wind and rain.His refined body was not afraid of the cold, but Hermione, being a girl, could not withstand the wind and rain. For this reason, he even asked Filius Flitwick, the Charms professor, how to use it. Warming spell.

Obviously, although Orlando is young, his own strength is recognized by everyone, otherwise Professor McGonagall would not have asked him to accompany him in training.

Today was the last regular training before the game. After Wood led the Gryffindor Quidditch players to complete the training tasks in the wind and rain, Mrs. Hooch brought some bad news.

The first game against Slytherin was temporarily canceled and was changed to a match against Hufflepuff. The reason given by Slytherin was that their Seeker was unable to train due to an arm injury, so they applied for a postponement of the game. .

Ron yelled angrily, and the other Gryffindor team members were also very angry. This sudden change of opponents before the game would cause deviations in their play and tactics.

"Malfoy's arm is fine at all," Harry said angrily, "He's obviously just pretending."

"I understand, but we can't prove it." Wood said painfully, "We have been practicing with Slytherin, and now we are competing against the Hufflepuff team. Their style is quite unfair. Same. They have a new captain and Seeker, Cedric Kdigory..."

Wood rambled on, which not only did not boost morale, but made the team members more and more anxious. Orlando felt that this was not going to work, so he said: "Wood, don't forget that you still have a trump card. Our ultimate goal is the Quidditch trophy. , As for which college the opponent is, does it matter? I don’t think, we have to face it anyway, is there any difference in who goes first?"

Orlando's words were like enlightenment, and everyone woke up instantly.Yes, their goal this year is the Quidditch trophy. To get the trophy, they must defeat the other three houses. Since they are all opponents, does it matter who goes first?

"Orlando is right, Wood. We shouldn't grow up in others' ambitions and destroy our own prestige. Since we are all opponents, it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last. Don't forget that we still have a trump card." George hugged Wood's arm. Neck said with a wink.

The locker room soon erupted in laughter and cheers. The players gained confidence and began to look forward to the game impatiently.

"Orlando, you are still great. I think it would be great if you were selected for the Quidditch team. You will definitely be the captain." On the way back to the castle, Ron said incoherently.

"If I were the captain, what would you ask Wood to do?" Orlando glanced at him.

"Well... I just think you're more of a captain than him." Ron's voice became lower as he spoke. After all, Wood is his brother. If these words reached his ears, he might get beaten up when he got home. pause.

Hermione covered her mouth and snickered. She couldn't enter the locker room, but after listening to Ron's story about what happened, she also felt that Orlando was more suitable to be the captain than Wood. No one was better than her boyfriend. She I thought sweetly in my heart.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next day, Orlando unexpectedly discovered that Professor Lupine was not there, and the substitute teacher was actually Snape. The students who originally came to class happily became silent after discovering that the professor had changed. Everyone watched. When he came out, Snape was not in a good mood, and he was full of malice throughout the class.

Harry was late and bumped into the muzzle of the gun. After some confrontation, he was deducted ten points by Snape, which made him even more depressed who was already in a bad mood.

"Snape is taking revenge for his own sake." Hermione's teeth itched with hatred.

Orlando looked up at her and whispered back: "The grudges of the previous generation really shouldn't continue to this day."

"What's the grudge from the previous generation? Do you know the reason?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"Oh, you know, Harry is here, let's talk about it later." Orlando accidentally let something slip and stopped quickly.

Snape directly skipped the previous chapters and taught a lesson about werewolves. To be honest, Orlando had more sympathy for werewolves than disgust. After all, in his opinion, most werewolves were victims. They were a bit like AIDS patients in the Muggle world. .

"Orlando, please answer, what should you do if you encounter a transformed werewolf?" Orlando, who was thinking randomly, was suddenly called out by Snape.

"Keep him down and incapacitated from a safe distance, Professor."

"This method is only suitable for powerful wizards," Snape said noncommittally, "but for the vast majority of wizards, I don't recommend this, because werewolves will lose their minds after transformation, become bloodthirsty and cruel, and physically They will also have strong magic resistance. General offensive magic has little effect on them, so the best way is to restrict their movements, such as obstacle spells, leg tripping spells, etc. These spells are not very powerful. But the advantage is that it’s simple and everyone can learn it, why don’t you write it down?”

Orlando sat down and curled his lips. His thunder method can innately restrain all dark creatures. Is there any need to go to such trouble?

The bell finally rang, and Snape left a lot of homework, all about how to identify and kill werewolves. Hermione knew Lupine was a werewolf early on because of Orlando's reminder.

"Orlando, do you think Snape hates werewolves? Or does he hate Professor Lupin?" Hermione looked up at Snape's back after finishing her homework and asked.

"Have they all?"

"What do you mean? What does the werewolf have to do with Professor Lupin?" Harry asked inexplicably, and Ron also came closer.

"You can't talk about this now. You will know it later." Since Dumbledore was relieved to let a werewolf teach, he would naturally consider it.

Hermione hesitated to speak and looked at the empty classroom. After thinking about it for a while, she still couldn't hold it back and reminded: "You'd better stay away from Professor Lupin, especially on a full moon night."

"Why is this?" Monk Ron Zhanger was confused. He didn't even catch such an obvious hint.

"Forget it if you don't understand, just remember what I said." Hermione glanced at him angrily.

Harry and Ron looked at Orlando, who shrugged and spread his hands to show that he was helpless.

Harry and Ron's classes ended today, and Orlando and Hermione had to rush to another class.

"They must be hiding something from us." On the way back to the lounge, Ron complained to Harry dissatisfied.

"Hermione won't harm us. Is there really something wrong with Lupine?" After all, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had always had various problems over the years, which had to arouse Harry's vigilance.

"Why didn't she tell us directly? Is it interesting for us to guess?"

"Maybe they have some last resort reasons." Harry said with some uncertainty.

The next day, due to the passage of a hurricane, the weather in the British Isles was terrible. There was lightning and thunder outside Hogwarts Castle, and there was heavy wind and rain. Orlando was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, "Hey." Orlando suddenly put down the bread in his hand, Turn the newspaper over. "

"what's wrong?"

"Look here, a former disciple of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel is acting domineering in Hogwarts, ignoring the laws of the Ministry of Magic and injuring the officers on duty, seriously violating the law and discipline..."

"They are talking nonsense, frame-up, and slander. I want to write a letter to protest." After reading this report, Hermione's good mood disappeared instantly, and she said indignantly.

"Haha, there is no need to be so angry. The reason why the newspaper dared to report such a report is naturally backed by the Ministry of Magic. If my prediction is correct, maybe Dumbledore is behind it." As a man in two lifetimes, I have never experienced anything. , this little trick is nothing more than that in Orlando's eyes, just ignore it.

"Dumbledore? Why?" Hermione was shocked. The principal was targeting students. This was no joke.

"Why else? My teacher Nicol Flamel has always been aloof from world affairs, but his influence is still there. Whoever he leans towards can gain a huge say in the magical world. Dumbledore wants the Ministry of Magic to I also wanted it, so I became a chess piece in the middle. Any behavior I did that was out of line would be infinitely amplified and used to threaten or gain my weight."

Hermione was thoughtful. Although she was very smart, her experience made it difficult for her to understand the cruelty of political struggle. However, after Orlando explained it, she still had some understanding.
