Golden glitter

That's how the Hippogriff's wounding incident ended with Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Draco Malfoy deducting [-] points each.Rubeus Hagrid was still his professor, and Weasley was still talking about "evil Malfoy".only:

There are no more magical creatures in the magical creature class, only the Flobber caterpillar; Malfoy never responded to Weasley's provocations, and they even rarely met Draco after class; Potter seemed to have returned to At the end of last term, depressed like a Gryffindor.

As a result, only Ron Weasley was left as the most active and eye-catching figure in the castle.He was very satisfied with this phenomenon, he was very happy, for this, he ignored something.For example, his savior friend.

I will not mention these turmoil after class for the time being, the class will still be held.And with the end of the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of Gryffindor in the third year, the oppressive atmosphere spread to the class.

This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is named Remus Lupine, who was born in Gryffindor College. It is said that he was an outstanding graduate at the time—NEWTs graduated with 10 O's, which is a fact.Also, he was the same age as the head of Slytherin.

Lupine's first class has boggarts for the third-year students, dark magical creatures that feed on fear, not powerful, but definitely not likable.

After the explanation, it was practice. In order to encourage the students, Lupine chose Neville Longbottom, a Gryffindor student who is famous for his timidity, as a demonstration, guiding him to transform the Boggart.The weak, non-dangerous Boggart, who had already passed by the Snake King, was easily deceived, turning the majestic and gloomy Potions Professor who had tamed it into a funny clown in a skirt, in front of the Potions Professor.The students and the professor were all laughing, laughing heartily, even laughing out loud at the Boggart. No one cared about the dark eyes of the black-robed professor deepening in the shadows.

This is the "intelligence" that Minato collected and sorted out after integrating gossip, gossip, and gossip from various places.

Minato came out of the Potions Professor's office. As the godson of Potions Master Severus Snape, he and Draco had to have a small meeting, but because the two were in different grades, the class hours were different, and the time was often staggered.Today there is only Minato to learn.

Coming out of the office, the corridor leading to the Slytherin common room is always quiet—Snape's office is in the same cellar as Slytherin, and the Potions professor's aura is a natural expulsion spell for students, causing This section of the road is sparsely populated.

Minato slowly moved forward in the empty corridor. He was recalling what he saw in the godfather's potion making room: the crucible being boiled, the half-processed potion ingredients on the operating table... and finally the godfather's potion. The warning: "Take care of your legs so they don't lose their owners by wandering around on a full moon night out of curiosity."

The Godfather doesn't do superfluous things.Those half-processed medicinal materials are special materials for brewing wolf potion, wolf potion, full moon!Minato was startled.There are werewolves in the school, still can't control themselves, acquired werewolves who need a werewolf potion.

Minato quickened her pace and headed towards the lounge.There are two professors and first-years from four colleges who joined Hogwarts this year. It is impossible for hemp and pure blood, and there is no one who hides or is in poor health. They are not students.Then, among the two professors, Rubeus Hagrid is a half-giant half-giant, and it is impossible to have werewolf blood, so it can only be——Remus Lupin, who has asked for leave every month since he was a student, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class professor.Minato shuddered.

As an excellent graduate of Hogwarts, he is obviously malnourished, his robes are full of patches, and the broken boxes need to be tied with ropes-because he can't find a decent job as a werewolf, he is struggling to live; his face is haggard and his spirit is not good —Because of the torture of changing once a month... It's already obvious, that werewolf.Minato returned to Slytherin's bedroom with a very bad face.That werewolf dared to openly insult the dean while the dean was making medicine for him... Snake king, sacred and inviolable.Minato tilted his head, looking at the academy motto outlined in silver lines on the tapestries in the lounge.What's more, it was the family he recognized as Malfoy.

Minato took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, and returned to the dormitory with the cold air.And let Draco and everyone be careful, probably not many people have recognized his identity yet, but his performance has attracted many people's attention, whether they like him or hate him.

Lean against the door.The headmaster must have known it, and the headmaster is one; the well-known Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick must have seen it a long time ago; Hufflepuff also went to the kitchen when they wanted to go out at night, right next to their lounge. Professor Sprout will take care of it, and nothing will happen; judging by his age, Professor McGonagall should have taught that Lupine, I don’t know if she knows it, and Gryffindors... Forget it, there are Dumbledore and McGonagall. It should be fine if there are two lion kings pressing it... right?

Finally, the first year of Slytherin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class also went to Boggarts, and they took it with Ravenclaw.Luckily, for the Ravenclaws; unlucky, for Lupine; and not the worst, at least not some Gryffindor redhead with a big mouth. (In the original book, Lupine's identity as a werewolf became known to everyone and he had to resign because Ron Weasley spread the word about his bravery after Peter ran away on the full moon night.)

Every year, the number of students who can enter Slytherin or Ravenclaw is relatively small, and the former is almost all from aristocratic families and pays attention to etiquette, while the latter reads widely and likes to study, so the students of these two colleges are often the most attractive. Peace of mind.Of course, the problematic professors are excluded, such as the garlic living dead last year, last year's embroidered pillow straw bag, and this year's...

Ten minutes before the class bell rang, all the students from the two colleges had arrived and sat down in the classroom. Although they still sat separately, at least they were not far apart.

Minato sat in the front row of the Slytherins. He was the head of the first year, exercising the power to dominate these Slytherins, and shouldering the obligation to protect and teach them.Like, Minato said in his mind, the captain of the squad.

Today's class is Bogut, the first half of the class is theoretical knowledge, and the second half is practical.Theoretical knowledge is not difficult for children in either house - Ravenclaws can even pull out a scroll of parchment from the library that even the Boggart himself does not know about.The focus is on the second half of the class. After all, Boggarts can't be found anywhere or by anyone.

The students packed up their class notes, and their desks had retreated to the corners of the classroom. They gathered in the large open space in the middle of the classroom, holding only their wands.

"Bang", the sound of something hitting, was very obvious in the silent classroom.Lupine waved his wand, and an old chest of drawers floated towards him, and that was where the noise came from.Boggart, everyone knows what's in there.

"Boggarts can peek into your heart, and then conjure up what you fear the most. No one knows what a Boggart looks like when it's alone. What you see is just the fear in your heart." Lupine was doing in front The last explanation, "Okay, it's time for you to practice next, Slytherin will come first." There was a hint of malice in his eyes.

Minato saw it, and he could feel the excitement of the thing through the cabinet door, it couldn't wait to rush out, it seemed that there was its favorite delicacy outside, not a group of wizards waiting to practice with it.Minato frowned slightly, and took a step forward. He was the chief, and the children behind him were Hope.

The door of the cabinet opened slowly, "Illusion is not an art here", the chakra flowed, and Minato recited silently in his heart. ("Illusion is not here": an illusion that makes the opponent mistake one place for another. Here Minato uses this technique to exchange the positions of himself and Lupine, and Boggart actually reads Remus Lupine's inner fear.)

Water-like silver flowers poured out from the gap in the cabinet door, and the distant and ethereal howling sound was faintly visible.The cabinet door finally opened completely, and a full moon rose out of the darkness.

Lupine froze, feeling the terror grip his heart and chilling his body.

"Aww—" A wolf howl that was close at hand and extremely clear woke up everyone—the students recovered from the beautiful moonlight, and Lupine recovered from the frightened absence.

"Hiss", the students collectively gasped, and Lupine became even more rigid—in the dark cabinet, there were two faint green lights flickering at the moment, greedy and wild, and from time to time you could see the forest white light reflecting the cold light. tusks.That's what speaks for itself.

The thing came out, the head of a wolf, the limbs of plush, walking upright.The moonlight shone on it, and its silver-white hair was sharp and thick, glowing with moonlight.The scarlet tongue licked the exposed fangs, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.

"Funny funny," finally had enough of watching, Minato raised his wand and said the spell learned in this lesson. "Ow", the thing let out a short howl, and turned into a good wolf fur, with its head turned to one side, and only Lupine could see the expression: pain, hatred, fear, anger, unwillingness, and everything else. A little relief...

Lupine felt his blood freeze, and his face was pale.He is very familiar with such a complex expression, he can see it in the mirror every day, even on the night of the full moon last year, he also saw it on his changed wolf face, it is exactly the same, without any happiness.

So he targets Snape, because he's a human he can't go back to - he was so close to turning him into one too; so he scares Harry - he reminds him of James, his only sunshine - —Students outside my class, because of their ignorant happiness; so...

He took a deep breath and suppressed his many thoughts: "Very well, Mr. Malfoy, five points for Slytherin. Next..." He heard his own voice say flatly.

Minato bowed to the stage and stepped back among the Slytherins.He could feel that this Boggart was very strong, and it was absolutely impossible to explode with a smile.It can be seen that it has been carefully cared for since it was captured.Every time it comes out, it will be its feeding time, so it will be so excited at that time.And its food, no doubt about it — the fear of the students.

Presumably after this lesson, it will be much more honest.Minato no longer worried about the children practicing after him, even if the boggart was strong enough, it had to learn to restrain itself.

This course ended smoothly. While the children gained knowledge and experience, many students also became suspicious.They have to go back, rummage through information, ask deans and professors to confirm or deny their guesses.

Not long after, Ravenclaw seemed to have a "house rule". After dark, Ravenclaw students could no longer be seen in the castle. tower.Students from other colleges asked about them, and they would say: "Because the gate of the Ravenclaw Tower can only be entered if you answer the correct questions" ;1. Lost consciousness and unable to think about problems. Therefore, they cannot enter the Ravenclaw Tower.), and then told their friends: "From inside information, the professors have been severely arrested this semester, and the consequences of being caught are very serious", and warned They: "Don't travel at night".

The "martial law" at Hogwarts at night quickly became known to the whole school, and the reactions of all parties were mixed.The little badgers went to confirm the authenticity of the news with their dean. Professor Sprout hugged his little animals in his arms, patted their heads, smiled kindly, and acquiesced; the male and female prefects of Slytherin Euphemistically expressed his doubts to the dean, and then floated back to the Slytherin common room, bringing back the venom of the Snake King: "If you still want to have the opportunity to be with toads and slugs instead of becoming other people? If I have the opportunity to throw you into the cauldron and boil it into a potion of unknown use, take care of your legs and let them stay where they should be." Dean McGonagall warned Gran Fendo, the night tour caught a deduction of fifty points, but the little lions completely regarded this as a challenge and were eager to try; Dean Flitwick, the news came from Ravenclaw.

Discipline at Hogwarts has never been better, except, of course...

In the Gryffindor common room, Ron Weasley was giving his speech - as he had often done this term: "Everybody backed off, being 'ruled' by the so-called 'rules'. Not in Filch's Have a few more professors been added to the foundation, think about our previous great achievements, think about what we will get under this rare opportunity... When other students, especially those seniors, are shrinking, we have challenged The authority of the professors, we defy the mighty, we are heroes, we will be adored, we will be remembered by all Gryffindors... Come on, boys, we are the brave and fearless Gryffindor knights..."

"Ronald Weasley," Hermione Granger raised her head from the pile of books, and said grumpily, "Stop your behavior, Professor McGonagall has already banned it, you will cause the college to lose a lot of points. "

Ron was very angry when his speech was interrupted. He felt that Hermione had embarrassed him: "What do you know, you bastard? If you listen to McGonagall, you will be an old maid who can't get married like her in the future!" Ron said He regretted it as soon as he said it, but he didn't want to apologize, he stood there with his neck stuck, his face flushed.

Hermione's eyes turned red immediately, she stayed for two seconds, dropped her things, and ran back to the dormitory.

There was silence in the common room. In order to break the weird atmosphere, Ron greeted the people around him: "Hey, guys, leave her alone, let's continue..."

He didn't notice that many people left quietly, and the girls looked at him before they left, as if they were looking at... a slug.
