"Very well, Hermione, you can find five of your teammates, and I'll give you some time to discuss strategy. Lupin nodded and said appreciatively.
"A curly-haired woman who likes to be in the limelight. Pansy muttered quietly.
"Professor Lupin, are we going to have what you call confrontation in this classroom?" asked Hermione.
"Of course, the effective use of the terrain is also a very important point, and you will soon find out, I will go out and avoid your discussion now, and then you say you can start, I will enter the classroom again, and from the first moment I step into the classroom, you can attack me. Lupin patiently explained.
"Yes, Professor Lupin. As soon as Hermione said this, she found the few members she needed and whispered her plans in their ears.
"Harry, we're lucky today, I just brought your invisibility cloak and I'm going to give it back to you, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now, you can get him in my table box later, and then put it on, and look for a sneak attack. β
"Ron, you can contain Professor Lupin head-on. β
"Simo, think about how you made the explosion in Potions class and when you practiced other spells, and you need to make as much confusion as possible and get Professor Lupin's attention. Hermione said seriously to a boy with pale brown hair, who was one of the members of Harry's bedroom, and who was always able to make unexpected explosions on various occasions, and should be said to be quite talented in this area.
After the boy was entrusted with the important task, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and the tip of his nose was slightly red.
"Neville, your target may be large and easy to spot, so you, like Ron's mission, need to help us get attention. β
Neville's round face looked nervous, but he nodded firmly.
Then there's the last member, Thomas Dean, a tall, skinny dark-skinned boy, who Hermione also gives him some tasks.
Hermione had finally completed her assignment at this point.
Ever since Peter Pettigrew escaped, Hermione has been reflecting on herself repeatedly, she is distressed by her actual combat ability, Lupin, McGonagall, and Professor Dumbledore may comfort themselves with their age, but it is an indisputable fact that she has dragged her feet in the battle at that time, even if she can't do better and help them, but at least she can't be a drag bottle.
After they all exchanged glances, Ron shouted at Lupin outside, "Professor, we're ready." β
The closed wooden door creaked open, and a blinding spell burst out from the tips of their wands almost instantaneously, shooting directly at Lupin's body.
But all of them failed, and when they hit the wooden door, there was a crackling, explosion-like sound, and suddenly sparks splashed everywhere, and the floor and chandelier were full of flying red flames, and for a moment, it seemed that the temperature of the whole classroom was several degrees higher.
"You're quick to understand. Lupin was now sitting with his back behind the lectern, looking at the blackboard, looking relaxed, and leisurely complimenting his students.
The moment he entered the door, he realized that the group of students had understood his previous hints, and seized the opportunity to carry out a sneak attack, but in the case of defense, these spells did not pose a threat to him, he did not even use the iron armor charm, just lowered his head, quickly bowed his body along the wall, and then rolled his whole body on the ground, without the slightest reserve of being a teacher, and hid behind the podium.
"Grow bigger!" The wooden desk swelled up rapidly, like a sponge that had absorbed enough water, and the spells issued by the students naturally changed direction with Lupin's movements, and now they all swarmed towards the larger wooden table, making a dull "tuk-tuk" sound, and the strong impact knocked the table to move non-stop.
"Good, I'm going to start fighting back. Lupin took the initiative to "remind".
Several students showed a wary expression on their faces, and their spirits were highly concentrated, since Lupin was going to make his own counterattack, then he would inevitably show flaws, the students had an advantage in numbers, and they could completely sacrifice and exchange, once Lupin revealed his body, they could completely seize the opportunity to give him a decisive blow.
"Stop!" Hermione shouted suddenly, sensing something was wrong, the desk was being transformed, but it was too late.
The old wooden table began to fade its woodiness, and a circle of bronze patterns crept around it, and then began to spread like spider silk from the outside to the inside, but the center part was no longer a metal structure, but a smooth and flawless square mirror.
A petrification spell from Ron shot diagonally at the mirror, and then found that the light was refracted by the mirror and shot straight towards Seamus, who was caught off guard and was directly hit, froze on the spot, and then fell straight to the ground like a puppet.
The rest of the spells hit the mirror with a crisp sound.
"Some spells are bounced off by some special medium, and the Petrification Charm is one of them, do you remember?" Lupin said as he seemed still at ease, and of course, the current situation was that he could only see the voice, not the person, and he was still hiding behind the table.
Now there is already one in the camp of the students who has lost his combat effectiveness.
"Broken bones!" Hermione reacted immediately, raising her wand and pointing it forward, this time the mirror she was chanting.
"See, Pansy. Malfoy then whispered to Pansy, "This is the question you asked this morningβan exception to the Gamp Transfiguration Rule, when an object is transformed, it is impossible to change its original quantity, and if you use a spell with a splitting effect on it, you can often quickly turn it back to its original state." β
As Malfoy had said, the mirror quickly returned to its original table form, and even the effect of the magnifying spell was gone, and it could no longer cover Lupin's body.
Hermione couldn't believe that her attack was so effective, and she soon understood why, because Lupin began to take the initiative, and there was no need to spend magic to maintain his cover, otherwise even if there was a law, the effect of this spell would not fall apart so quickly, after all, Lupin was still fighting them as an adult wizard.
