Herb class was over, and most of the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff sophomores returned to the hall in disgrace.

Most of their bodies were covered in mud, and many even had signs of being tied up on their arms and legs.

"What the hell did you do?" Jon heard Ron Weasley confronting his sister as he passed by the Gryffindor table.

"Don't worry about it!" Ginny turned away in a huff, not looking at him.

Jon is one of the few students who hasn't been "attacked" by the Devil's Network...... It's not because he's so talented, it's because in his previous life, he was used to holding test tubes, droppers and pipettes, and his hands didn't shake casually.

So it won't cause the hostility of the devil's network!

He successfully moved the spores of the three devil's nets into the flower pot.

Professor Sprout was delighted and added five points to Hufflepuff.

Arriving at the table in the hall, Jon grabbed a corned beef sandwich and nibbled on it as he glanced at the schedule.

There were two classes in the afternoon, both with Slytherin: Professor Snape's Potions class, and Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Putting down the schedule, Jon opened another copy of today's Daily Prophet on the other side:

The headline reads: Muggles claim to have seen a trace of Siris-Black on the shores of Loch Ness.

The content is very simple, it is an ordinary girl playing on the shores of Loch Ness, and she accidentally sees Blake appear there. She thought that Blake was just an ordinary criminal, so she called the number to report it...... However, by the time the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived, there was no trace of Blake.

Jon didn't know exactly the latitude and longitude of Hogwarts, but it was certainly in the Scottish Highlands...... So Blake's location should not be far from the school.

It's admirable to think about the spirit of Harry, the godfather. From Azkaban in the North Sea, he swam all the way to Surrey County (Privet Road) in southeastern England, and after taking a look at Harry, he walked non-stop to Hogwarts in the Scottish Highlands.

Without a wand, unable to use magic, he survived for months by gnawing on mice and picking up garbage, which was also quite miserable.

......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jon showed up in the Potions classroom.

As in last school year, he and Astoria sat in front of a group of Slytherin students in the first row.

What Professor Snape taught them in this lesson was a potion called a "swelling potion" that caused swelling in the area of the body that came into contact with the potion.

Although Jon had a hard time imagining what this potion was for!

But they still meticulously configured it.

Two teaspoons of dried nettle and three puffer fish eyes were added to the mortar and carefully ground into a fine powder, while Astoria added a portion of the bat's spleen to the crucible and boiled it with water......

After an hour, the configuration was almost complete, and after 30 seconds of heating on low temperature in a water bath, a pot of fresh lilac potion came out of the pot.

Snape glanced curiously at Jon's water bath heating, but didn't say anything.

Jon carefully closed the lid of the cauldron to keep the potion from spilling.

Before the end of class, Snape carefully checked their potions...... As always, he didn't find fault with it or give any praise.

......

At 3:50 p.m., Jon and Astoria, along with a class of students, arrived in the classroom where Professor Luhu's first Defence Against the Dark Arts class was held.

Professor Lupin hadn't arrived yet, so they all sat down, and took out their books, quills, and parchment.

A few minutes later, Remus Lupin walked into the classroom, carrying a battered suitcase and patched clothes.

Because of this dress, some Slytherin students couldn't help but look at him with a little contempt.

This was the first time Jon had seen the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher up close...... To be honest, Lupin was still quite handsome, if he didn't have that thick aging line on his forehead and a messy beard on his cheeks.

But for a "moderate" werewolf struggling to get on and off the food and clothing line, these are undoubtedly luxuries.

After all, it's hard for him to even find a job, and he can't support himself.

It is already a very remarkable thing that such a wizard who is not a good strength in his own right, but who is strongly discriminated against by the orthodox wizarding world, and who is unable to survive even by surviving, has not fallen into darkness...... At least Jon felt he couldn't.

"Good afternoon!" Lupin said with a smile, "Please put all your books back in your bag;

In the last few classes of the last school year, Professor Dumbledore had already taken them to several practical classes.

So the practical classes are still very attractive to them.

"So!" the professor saw that everyone was ready, "You follow me, okay?"

They followed Lupin in turn, through a hallway, and then at a fork in the road......

There, however, the first thing they saw was Peeves, the mischievous ghost, floating headfirst down in the air, shoving gum into the nearest keyhole.

It wasn't until Professor Lupin came within two feet of Peeves that Peeves looked up, and he sang:

"Stupid and confused Lupin!"

"Lupin's clothes are patched!"

"Lupin, who is poor and can't afford to eat!"

......

Peeves has always been rude and troublemaker, but he is usually respectful of his teachers.

This time, though, it seemed to have gone too far, even as if someone had instructed him to do so!

There was no anger or shame on Lupin's face, as if Peeves' lyrics weren't about him.

"If I were you, Peeves, I'd take the gum out of the keyhole. He said calmly, "Otherwise, Mr. Filch would not have been able to go in and get something." ”

Peeves, however, did not react and continued to sing its ugly, insulting song.

"Hey!" Lupin sighed and pulled out his wand.

"A useful little mantra," he said, turning back to the class, "everybody!"

With that, he raised his wand above his head: "Waddiwasi!"

The small piece of gum shot out of the keyhole like a bullet and bounced into Peeves' face...... Popped this trouble-making ghost out a dozen yards away.

"Great, Professor Lupin!" Zacharis couldn't help but say.

"Thank you, Mr. Smith. Lupin smiled and nodded, "Let's move on." ”
