[hp] warm as jade

"Good afternoon. I'm going to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts this term. Let me introduce myself. My last name is Lupine."

The professor in the gray robe looked a bit haggard, with a few streaks of gray mixed in his hair, and he seemed to be in his 50s or [-]s, but according to gossip, this Professor Lupine and Professor Snape were classmates back then.

"It seems that that class was quite unique." Rong Jiu whispered, "Either you grow old faster, or you don't wash your hair."

Draco was resting his chin in a leisurely manner. Hearing these words, he lost his elbow and slammed his head on the table. The loud impact immediately attracted the attention of many people. The coughing sound became one piece, becoming the perfect dubbing for this scene.

Draco smiled obediently at the teacher on the podium. The teacher exuded a gentle feeling from the inside out, and was actually very gentle. He nodded in understanding, and then began to ask everyone about the progress of the class.

"If the professor finds out, you'll be the one to look at." Taking advantage of the commotion, Draco rolled his eyes at Rong Jiu, "Isn't it enough for you to be cleaned up by the professor every day? You're not soft-spoken at all."

There are professors everywhere in the school, but in Slytherin, without any prefix, there is only one professor, and that is their head, Snape.

Pan Xi smiled and said, "You get used to being tidied up, don't you?"

Rong Jiu pouted: "Anyway, he won't know."

"However, is the professor's hair unwashed, or is it just like that?" Theodore asked curiously, his eyes fixed on Draco, after all, the relationship between the Malfoy family and Snape has always been good.

"This..." Draco looked embarrassed, "How would I know such a question? Boring! If you want to know, ask yourself."

"Hey, Cassie, why don't you go and ask tonight?" Blaise said with a smile, "I think you've been jumping around for a while recently, and it doesn't matter if you die occasionally."

"It's a big deal!" Rong Jiu's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves, still covered in bruises, "I just kicked a tiger's ass last night, you see, I bit it, and today you asked me to pull it out again Beard? Do you think I am an iron man?"

Pan Xi obviously knew the allusion of last night, so he burst out laughing, and quickly told his companions about the scene of classmate Rong Jiu's kicking the door last night. : "Your Excellency's willingness to die is really admirable. If you see the professor, you will do it. If you don't die, you will come again. You are really a role model for my generation. Admire, admire."

Blaise continued enthusiastically: "What Theodore said makes sense, he didn't die yesterday, let's continue today."

"Cough, listen to the class." Rong Jiu reprimanded in a low voice with a serious face, "You don't like to study, you should learn more from me. Studying makes me...well, study."

After Professor Snape's earnest teaching, Rong Jiu felt that studying made her so happy, it's not an exaggeration to say that she was ecstatic, after all, she was almost able to chat happily with Merlin, and called the Taishang Laojun a brother, so Adhering to the principle of saying less and doing more, she decided not to say this sentence again, so as not to bring back some overly happy memories.

"Okay, I have a general idea of ​​your progress." Professor Lu Ping rescued Rong Jiu who was in distress in time, and said, "Then today, let's go to the practical class. Please put all the books back in the bag, You just need to bring your wands."

Suddenly there was a murmur in the classroom, and many students exchanged surprised glances with each other.They never had a practical lesson - of course, if you have to say that a melodrama with Lockhart on the podium counts as a practical lesson, then it can't be helped.

Surprises are surprises, there are fun things, and everyone's movements are very fast.Within half a minute, everyone had cleared up.Seeing this, Professor Lu Ping nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then, follow me?"

Not in the classroom?

Rong Jiu was the most excited. Holding his wand, he stood up first, followed behind Professor Lu Ping, and received a smile of approval.Seeing her like this, the others also stood up.

He led them along the empty corridor, turned a corner, walked into the second corridor, and stopped outside a classroom.Draco whispered: "Isn't this the teachers' lounge?"

"Please go in." Professor Lupine opened the door and took a step back.The students filed in.

Rong Jiu was the first to go in, and looked at the teachers' lounge with great interest. It was a long classroom filled with old and unsuitable chairs. There were fine dust floating in the air, which was penetrated by the windows. The light is clear, and there is a faint smell of wood.

Then, she froze there.

Under the innermost window, there was a black figure sitting there quietly, with a heavy book on his lap and a roll of parchment in his hand. He seemed to be studying something, but was disturbed by the sound of the door opening. From the beginning, the dark eyes and indifferent gaze fell directly on Rong Jiu who was at a loss.

"Hi...Professor, what a coincidence." Rong Jiu raised a paw and waved it mechanically, with a sleepwalking smile on his face.

Snape snorted coldly, taking it as an answer.

The people behind saw Snape sitting here, and the noisy classroom instantly became quiet.Professor Lupine watched the last classmate go in, followed him in, and closed the door casually. Seeing Snape sitting there calmly, not planning to move, he nodded at him, understanding the sudden change in the atmosphere. quiet reason.

"Okay." Professor Lu Ping said, motioning the students to walk across the room.There was just an old wardrobe in which the teachers put their replacement robes.Professor Lu Ping walked by and stood by, the closet suddenly shook and slammed against the wall.

Draco couldn't help but took a step back, thought for a while, and turned his head, and sure enough, he saw his sister's face eager to try, wishing to rush up immediately, he couldn't help sighing with his forehead: other girls see this The thing that might be linked to the ghost is far away, such as Pan Xi, who has hidden behind him at this moment, holding his arm, poking out half of his head, why can't Rong Jiu be more normal?

"Don't worry." Professor Lupine said calmly, "There is only a Boggart inside."

"Boggarts like dark and enclosed spaces, wardrobes, the void under the bed, the cupboard under the sink... There was a Boggart here before, but your professor Snape drove it out." Said Here, Professor Lupine nodded to Snape, who raised his head in response, "Yesterday, the house-elves asked me for help, and I found out that it ran into a cupboard in the kitchen again. After the headmaster's consent, I brought it back and gave it to my [-]rd grade students for practical lessons."

"Now, I want to ask the first question: what is a Boggart?" Professor Lupine smiled and looked around the students, "Who can tell me?"

Rong Jiu was just standing lazily with his arms folded, not intending to be in the limelight, when Draco poked his waist suddenly, he was shocked, raised his head, and met a pair of dark eyes, threateningly look at her.Like a conditioned reflex, she immediately raised her arms high. The speed and strength startled Professor Lupine: "Uh, okay, this classmate?"

"Boggarts don't have their own form. They will change forms according to the fear deep in people's hearts. It will become whatever it thinks scares us the most." Rong Jiu said quickly, and after finishing speaking, he felt uneasy He glanced at Professor Snape, who had already lowered his head and continued to read his book, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great, I couldn't have said it better myself," said Professor Lupine, "so, the one in the closet has no specific shape—no one knows what a Boggart looks like when he's alone, But as soon as I let it out, it instantly becomes the thing that each of us fears the most."

I found that many people turned pale, especially girls, and said soothingly: "However, we have a huge advantage in front of it. Has anyone discovered this advantage?"

This time, without the threat from Snape's eyes, Rong Jiu raised his hand consciously.

"There are many of us, the fear is different, it doesn't have a clear purpose, so it doesn't know what shape it should take."

"Very correct." Professor Lupine nodded approvingly, "When dealing with Boggarts, it's best to go with them, so that you can confuse them: Is it a skull without a head? Or a slug that eats meat? I've seen a Boggart make this mistake once - it's trying to scare two people at once, so turning itself into a half-slug isn't scary at all."

"The spell to repel a Boggart is very simple, but it takes a lot of willpower. Know that what really kills a Boggart is your laughter, and what you need is to force it into an image that you find funny."

"Let's practice a spell without a wand. Please read to me... funny funny!"

"Funny funny!" they all said together.

"Very well, but that's just the easy part. You know, the spell alone won't work." Professor Lupine said, "Now, I'm going to let it out, please line up, everyone will be alone Face it. Are you ready?"

The room was quiet for a second, and then, suddenly, there was chaos.Rong Jiu unequivocally went to the back of the line, leaving aside the fact that he had to face the thing he feared the most, and just said that this stupid spell had to be recited in front of so many people... Come on, the sooner you The more embarrassing it gets.

After a moment of confusion, poor Cruces was pushed to the front, looking as if he were going to be executed, pale and trembling.Professor Lupine comforted: "Don't be nervous. Your name?"

"Cruces Dylan, sir," Cruces replied.

"Okay, Cruces, what are you most afraid of?" Professor Lupine asked gently.

Cruces whispered, "Uh...failed?"

Someone in the team laughed lightly, and Professor Lupine followed suit, and then guided, "Specific things? Like insects? Zombies?"

Cruces had a definite answer this time: "Centipede."

"Ah, it is indeed a terrifying creature." Professor Lupine nodded, "Then what do you think scares you the most? How many legs? Poison glands?"

"Its appearance... the many feet are the most frightening, and the joints of the body are also terrifying." Cruces frowned, trying hard to find the root of the fear in his heart.

"Imagine, what would it look like if it had no legs and no body segments?" Professor Lupine's voice softened a bit, as if he was afraid of disturbing Cruces, whose facial features were all wrinkled together, making it difficult Imagining this scene frantically, then his brows loosened: "It seems stupid."

"Very good." Professor Lupine encouraged, "I will open the cabinet door later, and then the Boggart will come out. It faces you, and it will turn into the centipede you fear most. At this time, in your mind Picture it with no legs or no joints, and say the incantation just now - funny, funny! Use your willpower to force it to become what you have in mind."

"If Cruces is successful, this Boggart may turn his attention to each of you in turn." Professor Lupine said, "Now, I hope that each of you will take a moment and think about it." Think about what your worst fear is, and imagine how you can force it to look ridiculous..."

The thing you are most afraid of?

There was a burst of whispering in the classroom, and discussions started in twos and threes.

Rong Jiu scratched her chin and looked around, trying to find some inspiration.If you want to say that she is afraid of things, there are really many things.But when it comes to things to be afraid of... it seems that there is nothing particularly afraid of.

Just as she was thinking about it, Draco asked her in a low voice: "You said, if a large sheet of snake slough appeared there when it was my turn, would I be cleaned up by the professor?"

Rong Jiu stood on tiptoe and looked towards where Professor Snape was.He has now closed the book on his lap, staring at the students calmly, obviously intending to take a good look at his students' performance against the Boggart.She retracted, with a serious face, and replied in a slow and tragic tone: "Of course, it will be ugly to die."

As a Slytherin, in front of the head of Slytherin, what he is most afraid of is the Slytherin symbol. No matter how frightened Draco was in the chamber of secrets, how big and terrifying the snake slough was, when he appeared How reasonable it is here, this is all looking for death, okay?

"Besides, if it's a snake, it might be better for you to die." Rong Jiu thought for a while, then added, "You were so frightened by the molted skin of the pet left by our ancestors. It's been in front of so many people, you're going to be done."

Draco lamented: "If you go on talking, it is estimated that the image that will appear in front of me later will be a professor, and my death will be even worse."

Rong Jiu, who was looking around, immediately petrified in place.

To finish, why didn't she think of it just now, there is such a creature as Professor Snape?

"Is everyone ready?" Professor Lupine asked, and after receiving a lot of positive answers, he turned to Cruces, "Cruces, we are going to retreat, let you have an open space, okay? I'll call the next guy up... Now, everyone, get back and give Cruces a clear space to—"

A burst of sparks shot from the end of the Professor's wand, and the spark hit the wardrobe door handle.The closet door burst open.A two-meter-long centipede slowly crawled out of it. It looked like it had at least two hundred legs. It waved densely and crawled towards Cruces little by little.

Look at Cruces again, his breathing is short, his face is pale, and he looks like he is about to faint.Fortunately, he still had reason, holding his wand, and shouted: "Funny funny!"

There was a noise, like the cracking of a whip.The big centipede paused, and suddenly lost all its legs. The long body was no longer segmented, but became a clean whole. It looked like a huge earthworm. Although it was disgusting, it was no longer scary. .

Cruces breathed a sigh of relief, and the Boggart looked a little overwhelmed by a low laugh behind him; Professor Lupine called out, "Next!"

Daphne walked forward reluctantly, no girl would have any happy expression on her face when facing this kind of mollusk.The big earthworm squirmed twice, and with another popping sound, the big earthworm disappeared, and a small cockroach lay on the ground, shaking its head from side to side, looking very sensitive, and was about to run towards Daphne .

"Funny funny!" Daphne jumped to her feet, screaming the incantation.

With a "snap", the cockroach disappeared. A big slipper was covering it, with only a few tentacles exposed and trembling slightly.

"Next!" Professor Lupine greeted.

Lila stepped forward consciously, holding the wand, and raised her chin slightly, looking confident.

The slippers moved, and then, there was another "snap".

This time, the Boggart still became what Lila feared the most, but before she could cast the spell, the whole classroom erupted in earth-shattering laughter, almost toppled the roof, and Professor Lupine couldn't help it Laughing, even Snape, who was watching from the sidelines, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Draco was hugging his stomach and almost lying on the ground laughing, Pan Xi leaned on Rong Jiu's shoulder and almost burst into tears, leaving a small round water stain on her shoulder.

Standing impressively in front of Lila is Rong Jiu.

Lila's face flushed red, and the hand holding the wand trembled violently; the Boggart in front of her was frightened by the laughter and shrank back a few steps, with a look of horror, while the Boggart's corresponding face With exactly the same expression as it, he took several steps back in the same way.

That is why ah?

Did Lila know her well?Rong Jiu bit her finger, facing all the gazes with an innocent face, while thinking seriously.

It seems that I had a little contact with them in the first grade, right?And it's Lila who's been making trouble for her all this time?Why is it as famous as centipede and cockroach?So is she considered the five poisons or a public nuisance?

The scene was once very embarrassing.In fact, if Lila could grit her teeth and stand up at this time, and follow Professor Lupin's script, everyone would laugh and pass, but her wand was raised and lowered tremblingly, and I don't know why The terror of Rong Jiu was still shy by laughing, and he couldn't recite the spell no matter what.

"Okay, okay, it's just an accident." Lupine finally couldn't help it, and came out to smooth things over, "What Boggarts fear most is laughter from the heart. The thing you fear is... more entertaining. So, this classmate, you come up and try?"

Lila backed away blushing, while Rong Jiu was pushed forward by Draco and the others.When the two passed by, Lila turned her head and gave Rong Jiu a hard look.

No, what did I do?Girl, you are the one who keeps picking on me for nothing, and today you stand in front of me and beat me out, why are you staring at me now?I'm innocent, okay?

After all, it is not a serious picture for two identical people to stare at each other, which caused the students to burst into laughter again.But this scene lasted for nearly half a minute, and no one felt it was right—even if Rong Jiu was still most afraid of herself, Boggart would have a transformation process, and then become Rong Jiu, never There will be no response like this.

This time it was not Professor Lu Ping who came forward to solve the problem. Amidst the bewildered expressions of a group of people, the black-robed professor said, "Untie your jade pendant."

"It also draws information from the soul to play?" Rong Jiu was so surprised that his voice raised an octave.

Daoism has studied the soul for thousands of years, but there is nothing in history that can directly attack the soul.After arriving here, there were Dementors first, but forget it, that guy is worthy of such a vicious reputation; until now, this group of things in front of me who don't even know what they look like have this ability?

It's really elves and ghosts that can't be judged by appearances!

"Here." Snape spread his hand impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time."

Knowing that this was equivalent to affirming her guess, Rong Jiu swiftly took the jade pendant off his neck and put it in Snape's hand.

It was a piece of jade Xuanji, which had been handed down through hundreds of generations. It was kept warm and moist. When it was placed in his hand, the temperature was still slightly higher than the temperature of his hand, but when Rong Jiu retracted his hand, the jade was already cold. .

Snape was taken aback for a moment.But Rong Jiu didn't pay attention, and jumped back to Boggart's eyes in two or three steps, clenched her wand tightly, and made up her mind that if something came out that she couldn't think of for a while, she would kill him directly, what kind of god of broken bones Feng Wuying, a good student is to apply what he has learned.

Boggart took two steps and looked at the little girl in front of him seriously.

Then, there was a "pop".

The wand in Rong Jiu's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

The author has something to say:

Today is still a mobile phone...

I went to bed at [-] o'clock yesterday, and slept until [-] o'clock in the morning. I am really the nap king of East Asia!
