Chapter 173: Peeves Driven Out
Louis and Linda rushed to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which was the class where the professor on the train worked. But when they got to www.biquge.info the classroom, they found that the professor hadn't arrived. So they took out their quills and notes, and sat down in their seats and chatted.
After a while, Professor Lupin finally walked into the classroom. With a faint smile on his face, he placed a worn-out box on the podium. His dress was very ragged, and it was the opposite of last year's showy decorations of Lockhart.
"Good afternoon, students. Professor Lupin said, "Please put away your textbooks, our lesson is a practical class, you just need to bring your wand." ”
When he said that this class was a practical class, all the students recalled Lockhart's first practical class last year. Merlin's beard .... It was nothing short of a disaster......
Lockhart brought a caged elf into class and released them all. That time, except for Louis and Linda, everyone else was tossed and choked.
Professor Lupin saw that everyone had put away their textbooks, so he said, "Okay, everyone, please come with me." ”
Uneasy and curious, the students all stood up and followed Professor Lupin out of the classroom. As he led the students through the empty hallway, he happened to run into Peeves, a mischievous who was shoving a piece of gum into a keyhole.
It wasn't until Professor Lupin walked up to Peeves that Peeves looked up and sang loudly, "Lupin is a madman....... Lupin is a big idiot........."
Although Peeves is usually very prankstered, he still has a lot of respect for teachers, at least Louis has never seen him scold a teacher like this.
The students all stared at Professor Lupin to see how he would react. But what surprised everyone was that he was still smiling.
"If I were you, Peeves. I'd take the gum out of the keyhole, or Mr. Filch wouldn't be able to get the broom. Professor Lupin said kindly, as if it was not himself who had been scolded by the Phi Ghost just now.
Filch is the caretaker of Hogwarts, and he's a bad old man with a bad temper. None of the students in the school were friendly to him, even Harry and Malfoy, who were usually bitter enemies, who all hated Filch in common.
Peeves was very dismissive of Professor Lupin's words, and he yelled at Professor Lupin.
Professor Lupin sighed softly, then slowly drew his wand.
"It's a very practical little spell. Professor Lupin turned back to the students and said, "Please watch carefully how I cast the spell." ”
He aimed his wand at Peeves in the air, and said "Wadi Vasi".
With a whoosh, the gum in the keyhole flew upside down and thrust into Peeves' nostrils. Peeves was swept away by the momentum, and he ran away with a curse.
"It's wonderful, sir. Gryffindor's Dean Thomas exclaimed.
"Thank you, Dean. Professor Lupin said softly, then he put away his wand and continued to lead the way.
When the students set off again, they no longer looked at Professor Lupin with that suspicion or distrust. At least in their eyes, Professor Lupin was the most powerful Defence Against the Dark Arts professor they had ever encountered.
Usually the students in the school have been tricked by Peeves, but this is the first time they have seen Peeves being chased away, which makes them worship Professor Lupin very much. In their opinion, it is a very powerful thing to make Peeves deflated.
It wasn't until he reached the faculty lounge that Professor Lupin stopped.
"Let's go inside. Professor Lupin said. He opened the door and took a step back.
The faculty lounge is a long room with wooden panels on four walls, and a pile of old chairs that don't match. There was only one teacher in the entire common room, and that was Snape. Snape sat in a low armchair, and turned his head with a sneer as his classmates came in.
Just as Professor Lupin walked in and tried to close the door, Snape suddenly said, "Don't close the door, Lupin. I guess it's better for me not to see it myself. With that, he stood up and strode past the students.
"That's right, Lupin. Snape stopped suddenly, a sneer on his face, and said, "Maybe no one has told you that there is a student named Neville Longbottom in this class. I suggest you don't leave anything complicated to him to do, unless, of course, Miss Granger is at his side to do it for him. ”
Neville's face flushed, and he lowered his head deeply, trying to pretend he wasn't here.
