Chapter 239: The Mysterious Diary
Harry waved his hand, "No, Ron, the Dementors wouldn't let me go without you." I just want to know what to do with this stuff right now. ”
Rise from where you fall, Mr. Alaire always said when teaching him basic swordsmanship, even if you don't have talent in some areas, don't let them become your own shortcomings.
Ron and Hermione grimaced and said, "I'm sorry, Harry, we were in a trance just now. ”
"If you want to fight the Dementors, you should probably ask the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year." Lupin on the side said suddenly.
"Will Defense Against the Dark Arts teach that?" Hermione wondered, she had flipped through this year's textbook, and there were no lessons on it.
"No, but you can ask for advice privately, especially after you've encountered real Dementors." Lupin said, "This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is a professor...... It's outstanding, it's powerful. ”
"Really? Mr. Lupin, do you know him? ”
"Well, I used to know him, and then he disappeared......"
As we talked, the Hogwarts Express arrived.
The students entered the campus in Yekila's carriage and arrived at the sorting ceremony.
It was still the selection process for young wizards, and Ginny was unsurprisingly admitted to Gryffindor House, and her brothers were happy, and she herself was happy, because Harry was here too.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were surprised to spot Lupin in this year's faculty seats, which he hadn't revealed in their previous conversation.
Lupin toasted to them.
Harry looked at the other professors again, and almost jumped for joy when he saw Li Huan beside Professor Snape.
"What's wrong with you, Harry?" Ron asked, noticing his emotions.
Harry pointed at Li Huan and said excitedly, "That's Mr. Alaire, my teacher, and my current guardian. He's great, but I didn't expect him to be a professor at Hogwarts, and I thought he wasn't a wizard. ”
Li Huan was cutting the roast beef on the plate into small pieces and eating them with chopsticks.
Ron glanced in the direction Harry was pointing, shook his head, and said, "I don't know him, he doesn't seem to be famous. ”
"Well, he's a very strong martial arts master." Harry laughed, "But since he's a wizard, he must be a very powerful wizard. ”
Ron shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal. He couldn't believe Harry just because he said it, he had to see it for himself.
"Mr. Allaire, please don't spill the soup on my plate." Snape said without squinting.
Li Huan encountered a beef tendon, and with a little more force, the gravy on the plate was squeezed out and flew into Snape's salad plate.
"Haha, Severus, don't be so serious, this salad is mine, you take another plate." Li Huan patted Snape on the shoulder and said.
Snape didn't have much contact with Li Huan during his time at school, but he knew that Li Huan had been an auditor and had caused a sensation throughout the school.
More eye-catching than the four evils of Gryffindor in the past, and Snape, who is weak and helpless and has no sense of existence, are two extremes.
However, Dumbledore trusted him very much, and explained at the beginning of this semester that if there was anything that could not be solved or could not be decided, in his own absence, he could ask Li Huan for help.
Ron whispered, "Harry, he seems to have a good relationship with Snape. ”
Harry nodded, "That shows that we did misunderstand Professor Snape, we were suspicious of him last semester, and it turned out that he wasn't the thief who stole the Philosopher's Stone. Now that Mr. Alaire does not reject him, he is certainly not a bad person. ”
What else could Ron say?
At the beginning of the new semester, the students did have expectations for Li Huan, and last year's Professor Quirrell would only read the contents of the book against the textbook and teach nothing.
Li Huan is familiar with the Hogwarts collection, and his knowledge and level are sufficient, so he will naturally not disappoint these little wizards.
He also personally demonstrated several spells with light and shadow effects and attack strength, and immediately became the most admired professor among the students.
Malfoy was late as the class bell rang for the day, and he hurriedly sat down in his seat, not worried about deducting points for Slytherin.
Although the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was not from Slytherin House, he didn't care about such a trivial thing as being late for class, and he wouldn't deduct points for being late like Snape.
"Hi Mr. Malfoy, did you practice the 'Armor Charm' from last class? I've said that whoever walks into the classroom last in this class will come up and demonstrate it. Li Huan said by name.
Malfoy reluctantly got up and said, "Yes, Professor, I've tried a few times. ”
"How's it going?"
"Uh, it should be okay." Malfoy wasn't sure.
"Then you come here, the two of us will show you, I will use the disarming charm, and you can use the 'armor talisman charm' to resist."
Malfoy could only put down his textbook and go up with his wand.
He and Li Huan stood facing each other, repeatedly saying that they were ready, and then successfully put on the "armor talisman charm" on themselves after two attempts.
Li Huan didn't take the opportunity to make a move, but saw that Malfoy was ready, so he waved his wand lightly.
A white light shot at Malfoy, instantly shattering his "Armor Charm and Charm", knocking him two meters away and falling to the ground.
A journal fell out of Malfoy's arms, and Malfoy rushed to it, grabbed it, and stuffed it into his arms.
Li Huan had good eyes, and at a glance he could see that it was the first Horcrux made by Voldemort when he was a student, Tom Riddle's diary.
He didn't move, stepped forward to help Malfoy, and said, "Are you alright, Mr. Malfoy, I hope I didn't hurt you." ”
Malfoy was relieved to see that no one had found the diary, and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Then hurried back to his seat.
"Did you see that? Mana has a great effect on the strength of the spell, and under the same conditions, I can't break Mr. Malfoy's talisman charm......"
Malfoy didn't listen to what Li Huan was saying at all, he just wanted to end the class quickly and go back to the dormitory.
That night, Malfoy groped for the diary, and felt more and more that there was something terrifying on it, like power, which made people vigilant and difficult to part.
In the second half of the night, he finally fell asleep, still holding a diary in his arms.
A black shadow appears in the Slytherin common room, and no one notices it. The shadow burrowed into Malfoy's bed, and no one noticed.
Shadow takes Malfoy's journal and leaves the Slytherin dormitory.
