Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 220: The New Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor (Fourth Update)

Due to time constraints, the four briefly reflected on the situation with the Weasleys, and before they could inquire in detail, they hurriedly carried their luggage onto the train.

At this time, it was less than two minutes before the departure time.

Walking on the aisle of the carriage, the four of them found that the carriages were almost full, and they didn't find an empty carriage until they were almost at the front of the car.

But it can't be regarded as empty, because there is already a person sitting there at this time.

It was a strange adult wizard. He was wearing a tattered wizard robe, and there were even a few patches on the robe. He was leaning against the car window and sleeping soundly.

For some reason, although this strange male wizard fell asleep, he gave off a sickly feeling, as if he had no strength at all.

Although he looked young, his light brown hair was already graying.

"Sit here? It seems that there are not enough seats!"

There are two rows of seats in the carriage, which is usually just right for four people. If there are more, it is not impossible to sit, but it will be a bit crowded.

"Squeeze, who made us late!"

Hermione was the first to go in and sat by the window opposite the wizard, followed by Ron, but before he sat down, Hermione said in a deadpan voice:

"You sit across from me! I'm going to discuss magic with Jerry on the way!"

"Well, I don't want to have to learn magic for the next semester before I go to school."

Ron immediately sat across from the strange wizard upon hearing this.

And Jerry had to sit next to Hermione.

Since the wizard is an adult and sleeps against the window, it occupies a relatively large space, and there is almost no space there after Ron sits down.

So, Harry had to sit next to Jerry.

However, it is still a little crowded for three people to sit two people, which made Jerry and Hermione have to stick a little tighter.

The little wizards who had just gotten into the car were almost all wearing their own clothes, they hadn't changed into their wizard robes yet, and it was impossible to wear such thick clothes in the current weather, so if they were too close together, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing.

The embarrassment here certainly didn't refer to Harry, the embarrassment of the two men was mainly Hermione who was sitting in the innermost place.

"This damn puberty!"

Feeling that his body began to instinctively agitate again, Jerry quickly turned on "Refreshing", and forcibly controlled his body to calm down.

As for Hermione, who was sitting in the innermost corner, she turned her head and looked out of the window, with a smug expression on her reddish face.

Hermione will be thirteen in more than twenty days. Girls usually enter puberty at ten, boys at twelve, and girls from abroad may be earlier, so Hermione at this time will naturally have some puberty that girls of this age should have. Some small thoughts.

"Will it squeeze you a little bit, or I will go to other cars to see if there are any vacancies!"

Afraid of Hermione's embarrassment, Jerry whispered.

Hermione replied without thinking:

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, with the sound of a siren, the Hogwarts Express train started slowly, and gradually left the station, heading for the mysterious Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry again.

"Who do you say he is? Why is there an adult wizard on the train? I've heard from George that no passengers are accepted on this train except for grandma who sells snacks. It's a special train for students!"

Ron looked curiously at the strange wizard who was still asleep, and asked everyone.

"He should be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor this semester!"

Jerry pulled back and replied while trying not to touch Hermione.

"How do you know he's our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester?"

There was a look of surprise on Ron's face.

He admitted that Jerry was very powerful, even beyond his imagination, but he couldn't tell at a glance that he was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Did Jerry learn divination and prophecy in advance during the summer vacation?

"It says on his box, Professor R.J. Lupine!"

Hermione pointed to the box above the strange wizard's head and Jerry explained.

"That doesn't prove that he taught us Defense Against the Dark Lord!"

"Ron, do you remember the newspaper you read the other day?"

Harry made a reminder.

Ron suddenly realized:

"Then he is really very likely to be our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but can he really teach us like this? Why do I feel that he is not as good as Professor Quirrell!"

A few days ago, the Daily Prophet officially reported that the great writer Gilderoy Lockhart, verified by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, had been convicted of multiple crimes and had all his property confiscated and sent to Azkaban, where he was imprisoned for ten years.

Moreover, the report also pointed out that after Hogwarts learned that Lockhart had been convicted of the crime, he had publicly dismissed Lockhart from his position as the professor of the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

And recruit new senior wizards from the wizarding world to serve as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Now, a new professor they didn't know at all appeared on the train. It wasn't teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, what else could it teach?

"The ability of a wizard does not depend on his body, but his magical ability. I think he should be a very powerful wizard!"

Jerry expressed his opinion.

Remus John John Lupine, who is in the same class as Harry's father and Professor Snape, has experienced a wizard war, and is a core member of the Order of the Phoenix.

In terms of real strength, he may be slightly inferior to Snape, but he is definitely above the first-class level in the wizarding world, at least much stronger than those Aurors in the Ministry of Magic.

Unexpectedly, this wizard who would come to teach next year, because of him, entered Hogwarts a year earlier.

However, it is also understandable that in such a short period of time, it was not so easy for Dumbledore to find a wizard who was willing and capable enough to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

You know, there is a legend circulating in the wizarding world, including Hogwarts schools.

That is the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, who was cursed by the Dark Lord, whoever is unlucky.

Although everyone does not believe such nonsense rumors on the surface, if they are really invited, they will inevitably feel drummed in their hearts.

Moreover, Lupine seemed to have had a bad time in the wizarding world because of his status as a werewolf, so it seemed reasonable to ask him to come over as a professor in advance at this time.

The train galloped all the way, crossing the Muggle farmlands and towns, and gradually entered the dense forest away from human habitation, and finally stopped in front of the small Hogsmeade platform when the sky was just getting dark.

Like last year, Hagrid still held the magic lamp and shouted below for the first-year wizards to gather and go to the Black Lake to take the ferry to the castle.

Now, the four of Jerry, who are already in the second grade, walked out of Hogsmeade Station, sat in a carriage pulled by thestrals, and arrived at the Great Hall of the castle ahead of time with a large number of wizards from the second to seventh grades.

This year, they are no longer freshmen.
