Because the professors change every year, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom is not fixed, and it changes places every year.

Last year, Lockhart chose a large, sunny classroom to display the large self-portraits he hung on the wall.

Professor Lupin didn't have a self-portrait, not even a few photographs, so he chose just an ordinary empty classroom.

By the time they arrived, there were only a few people in the classroom talking to each other.

They sat down and waited a little more before Professor Lupin finally walked into the classroom, smiling faintly and placing a tattered old box on the podium.

I don't know if it's because he has eaten a few full meals, his complexion looks much healthier than when he was on the train, and with a clean new robe, it seems like a different person.

"Good morning." He said happily, "Please put your textbooks back, it's a practical lesson today, and all you need is a magic wand." ”

The students put away their books and exchanged a few curious glances with each other, and they vaguely remembered that someone had said the same thing...... Oron in first grade.

He was the same at the beginning, asking them to put away their textbooks and focus on practice.

Some people are starting to get excited.

Although Oron is a dark wizard, it is undeniable that the first year of Defence Against the Dark Arts is the most interesting, and he really prepares for each class.

And not like some two professors...... Muddle through.

Obviously they are not good people, but the level of dedication is very different...... That's probably why, only Oron managed to run in the end.

"Alright," Professor Lupin, seeing that everyone was ready, pulled out a large curtained cage, "I have a little surprise for you. ”

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes became even stranger.

Oron did the same in the first lesson, taking out a cage with Billy Wigg worms in it and saying that he had a surprise for them.

If you ignore what's inside, their movements, including the opening line, are almost identical.

These two people are not related, right......

Father and son? The age is not right.

Brothers? But looking at their appearance, they don't look like them!

Professor Lupin didn't know what they were thinking, though, and he lifted the cloth from the cage, revealing a bird with bright feathers inside.

The feathers on its head are fluffy, but the grip is so small that it looks like an upside-down droplet.

"A professor told me that the first two years of Defence Against the Dark Arts barely made any progress, so you ......"

His gaze lingered on Kyle for a moment, "...... Most people don't have a very good foundation. ”

"We've defeated werewolves." A Ravenclaw whispered, "In Lockhart's stage play, there are trolls, vampires, ......"

Everyone around understood it, and there was a burst of laughter.

"Okay, but that's not your real level."

Professor Lupin didn't laugh, he just tugged at the corners of his mouth and changed the subject, "So I asked Professor Hagrid to find it from the Forbidden Forest and use it to do a little test to determine how much knowledge you have." ”

"First question, does anyone know what kind of animal this is?"

Kyle raised his hand and said, "Wicked Woman." ”

"That's right, it's the Wicked Woman, Hufflepuff plus five points." Professor Lupin said, "So what special capabilities does it have?" ”

Autumn raised his hand faster this time,

"The song of the evil woman bird can make people lose their minds and do some very abnormal things."

"Quite right, Ravenclaw plus five points."

Professor Lupin said, "When you see a bad bird, it's best to cover your ears immediately...... But don't worry, the evil bird you saw just drank a big glass of brandy and was still drunk, and I think its current song will make people's heads dizzy for a while at most, and that's it.

"The spell used to deal with the Evil Lady Bird is also very simple, just keep them from making a sound.

"Let's not practice the spell with our wands, please recite it to me...... Deadtongue seals the throat! ”

"Deadtongue seals!" The whole class said it together.

"Very well," Professor Lupin said, raising his hand, motioning for everyone to stand up, and moving the tables, chairs, and benches to the side. "But it's not enough to know the spell, now everyone is on a good team, Kyle, how about you be the first one."

Kyle nodded and stepped forward.

Professor Lupin opens the cage.

But the badwoman bird seemed to have drunk too much, and stood there with its eyes closed, and Kyle could even hear its long breathing......

"Are you ready?"

Professor Lupin pulls out an old-fashioned record player, and after receiving Kyle's affirmative answer, he turns the stylus on it.

The classroom resounded with cheerful drumbeats.

This is "A Hot Spatulla" by the Wacky Sisters, and it was also the most popular fast-tempo song from more than a decade ago.

When the music played, the feathers of the Evil Lady Bird shook as far as the eye could see. It opened its eyes and immediately began to sing happily to the rhythm.

Some of the students immediately covered their ears, but others chose to believe Professor Lupin's words.

They were surprised to find that the song of the evil bird was not a harsh noise, but a beautiful sound, crisp and melodious, like the sound of raindrops falling on leaves, and like flowers blooming...... Strange, why do flowers have sounds?

It wasn't until there was a round of applause that they came back to their senses.

The wicked woman at the front had its mouth open, but it didn't make any more sound.

"How does it feel?" Professor Lupin asked with a smile.

"Great." A Ravenclaw girl said excitedly, "I heard a lot of sounds, and I seemed to see the Forbidden Forest full of flowers. ”

"It seems that this evil woman bird has a good amount of wine, so I would have given it a little more if I knew it."

"But it's fine for now."

Professor Lupin said to everyone, "As you can see, this is the effect of the song of the Evil Woman, to hear, or see things that are not there...... Just like they are. ”

He pointed in the classroom, and those who didn't cover their ears before had basically left the team now, but the distance was not far, only two or three steps.

"If it's normal, they've started venturing in the Forbidden Forest by now, and then you'll see a series of strange and comical moves."

Most of them had a look of disappointment, and they wished it was like that.

Professor Lupin continued, "This is the second point I want to make to you, the Evil Woman Bird just has an unfriendly name, but its song is so beautiful that it can make people fall into their own hallucinations before you know it.

So no matter what time it is, be sure to be vigilant,

"After that, I will unravel the spell on the Wicked Lady Bird at any time, and you must also hear its song before you can recite the spell, have you memorized it?"

"Remember, Professor!" Everyone said.

"Okay, next."

Kyle walked to the side, and Ryan behind him immediately stepped forward and stared at the Wicked Lady Bird intensely.

Some covered their ears again, but a few chose not to, apparently also wanting to see the Forbidden Forest full of flowers.

In contrast, the spell against the Evil Lady Bird has become less important.

Professor Lupin didn't stop either, and just watched with interest.

Until the end of class, I don't know if the drunkenness has passed, and the singing voice of the evil woman bird suddenly became much higher-pitched.

Several of the people who were frolicking immediately became sluggish, and some were stretching their arms and legs, as if performing some kind of climbing motion.

There are also people who think of themselves as fish in the black lake, lying on the ground and shaking their legs.

The people in the classroom were going crazy with laughter.

Ryan clutched his stomach and ran over to Mikel to learn his movements.

Mikel didn't cover his ears either, he was trying to stretch his neck, trying to bite his heel.

Professor Lupin couldn't help but smile as he reached out and dragged back a student who was standing on the windowsill and was about to dive high.

"I think they should know by now how dangerous the song of the wicked woman bird is." He said.

The students laughed even louder.

However, this situation did not last long, and by the time the class ended, everyone was basically recovered.

As soon as the bell rang, they rushed out impatiently, as if they didn't want to stay longer, and the classroom was in chaos.
