The closure of the school was a big deal.

According to the original plot, Hogwarts had cancelled the final exams because of the Chamber of Secrets incident.

But under the influence of Argus, the Ministry of Magic first sent Aurors to station there, so that no students were petrified in the future.

Then they got the diary, cut off the occurrence of petrification incidents, and solved the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets in advance.

There was no chance for Hogwarts to suspend classes!

Therefore, there was no subsequent cancellation of this year's final exams for celebration.

All students attended classes as usual, and even worked harder than before to ensure that they passed the final exam of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

"Oh, Harry, Lockhart is dead, what about our Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

"Are you really going to let Snape take our place?"

"He's wanted to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a long time!"

Ron looked at the teacher who hadn't appeared on the podium for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Harry's fear of Snape was no less than Ron's.

Hearing this, a worried look also appeared on his face.

"I hope not!"

"There are many famous wizards in the magic world, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a suitable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Because of Ron's ungrateful behavior in the castle hall, no one in the entire classroom was willing to sit near them.

The whispers of the two did not reach the ears of others.

Ron glanced around and saw that Argus was not there. He thought that what he said in the hall had worked.

Argus was taken away for interrogation.

A face full of pride!

"Harry, look! That evil Slytherin isn't here!"

"He usually sits in the first row and likes to act pretentiously."

"He's not here today. He must have been taken away by the professor and the Ministry of Magic for questioning!"

"A dark wizard like him should be imprisoned in Azkaban!"

Harry didn't agree, but he didn't refute it either.

He was very dissatisfied with Argus's "stealing credit" this time.

He just didn't say it.

Ron became more and more excited and his voice became louder and louder.

Eventually, he attracted the dissatisfaction of Parvati Patil, who was closest to him.

"If you want to chat, go back to your hospital and continue chatting!"

"Don't disturb us in class!"

At this age when hormones are gradually erupting, the two of them have more or less had thoughts about this Gryffindor beauty in their hearts.

They just smiled awkwardly when they heard each other's rebuke.

Then they lowered their voices and continued chatting.

"Harry, guess who will be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"I think it might be an Auror! It sounds good to have a retired Auror teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Harry also became excited: "The head Auror who often comes to our ward for inspection should be very powerful. Will he be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"I don't think so. He is qualified, but he is now working in the Ministry of Magic and has no time to teach us." Ron shook his head.

"You can't ask him to resign and come here to teach us?"

"That's right!" Harry agreed.

"No matter who the new professor is, he is definitely a well-known wizard in the magic world. His strength and knowledge are first-class. Don't worry!"

Ron said with a firm face.

While the two were talking, the door of the professor's office behind the podium in the classroom slowly opened.

A figure that Harry and Ron could not believe appeared in front of them.

"Why is he there?"

"Where's the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"Maybe something's going on?" Harry guessed, "Otherwise they wouldn't have asked Argus to come in."

"Don't other professors often ask Argus to help?"

The two stared at the door for a long time, but didn't see a single person.

A terrifying thought came to Harry's mind.

"Could it be that Argus is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why would he be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!" Ron didn't believe it at all.

In his understanding, the professors at Hogwarts were all well-known figures in the wizarding world.

How could they be willing to acknowledge Argus!

What's more, he just praised the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!

In the end, after all this time, he praised the person he hated the most!

Isn't this clearly slapping himself in the face!

But Argus didn't give him time to react.

He picked up the textbook and said to everyone, "Open the textbook to page 127."

"Today we are going to talk about the petrification spell..."

Looking at the students around him who were listening attentively, Ron

He felt worse and worse.

Jealousy, anger, disgust!

A variety of complex emotions mixed together, making him feel like there was a flame burning in his heart.

He wanted to question Argus loudly, asking why you can teach us, what qualifications do you have!

Looking at the classroom in front of him, where only the sound of Argus's lecture and the rustling sound of the quill pen were echoing.

He thought of the scenes that happened in the castle hall.

Ron was just reckless, but not a fool.

Having just suffered a loss, he knew very well that even if he made a big fuss, no one would support him.

It would only bring more intense condemnation!

He looked at Harry and couldn't help but lower his head.

He said to himself in his heart.

"Wait for me! Evil Slytherin!"

"One day, I will reveal your true face!"

"I will put you in Azkaban with my own hands!"

...

Hogsmeade Village.

Lupin and Sirius each ate a piece of black bread.

This meal was their daily meal.

It was hard enough for Lupin to eat alone, and now Sirius was there, and he had to prepare some medicinal herbs for him.

He wished that a day would last forty-eight hours!

When Sirius found Lupin, the full moon had just passed, and the full moon of this month would come in a few days.

Both of them looked haggard.

"Harry has returned to Hogwarts today, what should we do next?"

"Should we sneak into Hogwarts? I remember a lot of secret passages there."

Although Sirius was weak, he was in much better spirits.

On the other hand, Lupin was so haggard that he looked pale.

"It won't be long before they go on holiday."

"When they go on holiday, our chances will be much greater."

"I just don't know if Peter has noticed anything and will escape in advance."

"How about I use Animagus to sneak in and keep an eye on him?" Sirius swallowed the last bite of black bread with difficulty.

He looked at Lupin eagerly.

Before he could speak, Lupin stuffed the remaining bread into his mouth.

Are you kidding! I only eat one meal a day, and you want to steal my bread!

Are you the only one who knows how to be hungry?

"No, Peter knows your Animagus form. If you show up, he will run away faster!"

"Let's wait for Harry to take a vacation. By then, Peter will not have the protection of Hogwarts, and it will be much easier for us to take action."

"What about the full moon night this time?" Sirius worried.

"This is not a good place to transform. If someone is hurt, it will be a big deal."

"Let's go to the Shrieking Shack. We will just enter from the outer entrance of Hogwarts." Lupin thought for a while.

"Anyway, the Shrieking Shack is just an entrance in Hogwarts, and the real location is in Hogsmeade Village."

"It's so far from Hogwarts Castle, Peter won't find it."
