Chapter 18: The Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor
"I know of only one kind of cat that can pass through a closed cat cage without damaging it...... That's Sugo! Professor Kettleburn said with a frown.
"But no, how can I be as small as your cat?" He shook his head. "And the image doesn't match."
"Is it possible that he has a certain amount of donkey blood, and his body type has been inherited from a cat raccoon." Xiwen asked.
"It's not impossible. The world is so big that no matter how amazing an animal is, it is possible to be born. Professor Kettleburn spread his hands in a look of obsession.
"Don't worry, as long as you're nice to your cat, she'll come back to you sooner or later. Cats with raccoon blood are still very close to their owners! He added.
Xiwen had no choice but to thank the professor and prepare to go back to the dormitory and wait for the kitten to come back by himself.
"Wait!" Professor Kettleburn spoke suddenly.
"What's wrong, Professor?" Xiwen turned his head and asked suspiciously.
"Come to me every weekend for this month and stay in lockdown." He smiled slyly and winked at Xiwen. "In any case, violating the school rules will be punished!"
……
By the time Xiwen returned to his dormitory in a huffed manner, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. All three of his roommates slept soundly, and they didn't even know who was snoring.
He didn't even change his clothes, he fell heavily on the bed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a groggy sleep.
This sleep was very heavy, until he felt that someone was shaking him, and Xiwen had a vague sense of consciousness.
"Xiwen! Xiwen! It's time to wake up, class is less than half an hour away! Abraxas shook Shivin vigorously beside him.
"What time is it?" Xiwen was still a little unconscious, and asked in a daze.
"It's half past eight!" Abu shouted.
"What?!" Xiwen woke up in an instant, jumped off the bed with a bounce, and slammed his head on the luggage rack directly above the bed with a "bang".
Now I'm completely awake...... He rubbed his head, which had suffered a lot for the past two days, never expecting that he would not only miss the biological clock, but even achieve the late waking achievement that his three roommates had just completed yesterday.
"Accio Textbooks!"
Before he had time to break it down, he stuffed all the textbooks into the pocket watch space, and then rushed out of the dormitory as quickly as possible.
Luckily, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom is on the second floor of the main tower.
Climb up the spiral staircase from the outside of the Slytherin common room to the entrance courtyard and see the entrance corridor of the auditorium, and you can easily reach the corridor outside the classroom by turning a slight corner.
Because of the speed of action and the proximity of the classroom, when Shivin and Abraxas arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, there were still a few minutes before classes began.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom is somewhat similar to the Transfiguration classroom, with rows of double desks arranged in three rows, with the young wizards of Slytherin and Gryffindor sitting on either side.
At the front of the classroom there is a lectern and a bookshelf, and the unique thing is that there is a staircase on the right that leads around the arc to a wooden door near the height of the third floor.
"Xiwen, this way!" Elshiona beckoned to Xiwen as she walked into the classroom.
Shivin saw herself sitting alone behind the desk in the first row on the right, while Mobley and Gomez, who had arrived first, were sitting in the third row on the right.
Giving Abu an apologetic look, Shivin silently walked over to Elshiona's side.
"Hey! You can't do this, you're a heavy color and a light friend! Abu said indignantly.
Hearing the word "heavy color and light friend" coming out of the mouth of an eleven-year-old little wizard, Xiwen felt a little funny inexplicably when his mental age was far older than his peers, he glanced back at him and said, "Do you want me to leave a lady in the first row to listen to the lecture alone?" ”
Abu said: "Then why don't you sit in a row by yourself?" ”
"It's not impossible." Shivin replied, and then he actually walked to the second row.
However, as Able spoke, Elshiona also stood up, seemingly ready to move to the second row.
"Come on, I'm convinced. You two sit in your first row, and I'll leave the second row. Abraxas gritted his teeth in hatred, and after getting rid of Shivin, he sat alone in the second row.
Sivan sat back down beside Elshiona in the first row, pulled out the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook and placed it on the table, yawning tiredly.
"Your dark circles are so heavy." Elciona looked at him a little worriedly and said. "So what time did you get on the night tour last night?"
"I don't know, it's late anyway." Shewin yawned again.
He was about to lie on the table to catch up on his sleep when the class bell rang unfriendly.
A young man with obvious bags under his eyes pushed open the wooden door in front of the right side of the classroom and walked down the steps to the podium as the class bell rang.
Looking at the light-brown-haired young man, Xiwen's eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Elshiona noticed Shivan's anomaly and asked suspiciously.
"He's Professor Lorrey, I ran into him last night during my night outing, and I was almost caught by him!" Shivin covered his mouth with his hand and replied in a low voice, he now regretted that he had sat in the first row.
"You actually ran away from a professor's hands?" Elsiona asked, shocked.
Xiwen put his index finger in front of his lips and shook his head at her, motioning for her not to leak out.
Professor Lorley walked to the front of the room and began to introduce himself.
"Good morning, I'm Claude Lore, and I'll be your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this academic year."
He counted the number and smiled. "Looks like everyone is here, good! But I noticed that there are two students who are not at the same table yet, and I think you can form a pair, what do you think? ”
Abu, who was sitting behind Xiwen, turned his head in astonishment and looked at it, and found that in the middle of the row of desks, there was indeed a Gryffindor wearing a red-collared school uniform sitting alone.
"I disagree, sir!" Abu shouted.
"I don't think it's necessary!" The little Gryffindor wizard also said coldly.
The little Gryffindor wizard had light yellow hair and a round face, but the round face that should have been honest and honest was very fierce and rough on his face, and the eyes of two different colors, one blue and one black, radiated a sharp light.
"What's your name?" Professor Lorley asked with interest.
"My name is Abrazas Malfoy." Abu replied in a proud tone, glancing disdainfully at the Gryffindor student.
The little Gryffindor wizard ignored him, and answered the professor's question very indifferently. "Alastor Moody, sir."
"It turned out to be Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Moody." Professor Lorrey said. "What I need to say upfront is that in my class I need a lot of team-mates to work together, and everyone needs a partner."
"So now, follow my orders, and you two come and sit in this row!" He said in a tough tone.
