Chapter 372: Substitute Teaching

The process of getting the crown didn't make any waves, but then Kyle didn't know what to do.

For a long time, every time he was about to study the crown, he ended up looking at it in a daze.

Now that this thing has become Voldemort's Horcrux, it is impossible to see what information Rowena Ravenclaw hid inside.

Why don't you put it on?

Kyle lifted the crown and gestured over his head for a moment before giving up on the somewhat fatal decision.

This time there was still nothing to be gained.

……

When Kyle puts the box back in and returns to the common room, he happens to meet Connor, who is looking for him.

"Classes are coming soon, and I thought you had already gone first."

"No, just something else." Kyle shook his head, pulled out a stack of textbooks, and asked, "What's next?" ”

"Defence Against the Dark Arts......" Connor said with some anticipation.

Since changing professors and not having to read textbooks and act in stage plays, Defence Against the Dark Arts has suddenly become interesting and a favorite subject for most people.

Except for a few Slytherins, such as Malfoy......

His ideas were pure, as long as Harry liked them, he hated them, and that's it.

But he was only sarcastic about Professor Lupin's shabby dress and only a decent robe, not that his lectures were uninteresting.

"I don't know what I'll learn today." As she walked along, Connor said, "We've learned about the Villain and the Leprechaun, so it's time for the new magical creatures." ”

"If only he could teach us how to deal with Dementors." She said with some hope: "On the way to the herb class yesterday, I just glanced at them from a distance and felt chills all over my body. ”

"There's a good chance that Professor Lupin won't teach this." Kyle shook his head and said, "But if you want to, I can teach you the Patronus Charm." ”

"Is that the spell you used on the train?" Connor asked.

"That's right." Kyle said, "The Patronus Charm is also recognized in the wizarding world as the most effective way to deal with Dementors, how, do you want to learn it?" ”

"Okay......" Connor said without hesitation.

Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Then you call me Professor Kyle, and I'll teach you." ”

"You want to be beautiful!" Connor kicked Kyle in the shin in a huff, turning his head to leave him with the back of his head.

The two made their way to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

But surprisingly, it was not Professor Lupin who was waiting here, but Snape.

He noticed Connor's puffing appearance, looked at Kyle again, and didn't know what he thought, and his face instantly became gloomy.

Kyle quickly put away his smile, lowered his head, and silently walked into the classroom and sat down under Snape's murderous gaze.

Connor also walked over and sat next to him.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but ever since she sat down, Kyle has always felt a chill around his neck.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the class bell to ring.

Snape strode to the front, turned to face everyone, and said in his usual tone:

"It's a pity that your Professor Lupin is a little unwell today and can't come to class, so I'll help with the substitute teaching."

"What's wrong with him?" Someone asked with concern.

"You need to raise your hand to ask questions in class, and Ravenclaw deducts five points!" Snape gave the student who spoke coldly, and the frightened other party quickly shut up.

"There is no danger to life." Snape's tone seemed a little regretful, "Also, if anyone speaks without permission, ten points will be deducted." ”

The classroom was silent, and even the breathing was much quieter.

"Professor Lupin has left no record of what you have learned...... Snape continued, "I have to say that this lack of discipline is too layman's. ”

"Professor Lupin taught a good ......," someone muttered, and the other students agreed.

"That's how easily you're satisfied...... I think the first-year students should be able to deal with leprechauns...... Ravenclaw deducted another 10 points. ”

The classroom was quiet again.

"Let's learn something different today!" Snape said in a calm voice, "Everybody turn to page 394!" ”

Although everyone felt a little inexplicable, because of Snape's fame, they could only mumble while opening the textbook.

"Werewolf!" Snape said, "Can any of you tell me how to tell the difference between a werewolf and a real wolf?" ”

Several students raised their hands.

"Miss Prince!"

Connor stood up, "There are a few small differences between werewolves and real wolves, werewolves will have a slightly shorter muzzle and a smaller pupil......"

"Good, Hufflepuff 10."

Snape nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "Werewolves usually look no different from ordinary people, except for one thing, who can tell me what it is." ”

A few more people raised their hands, and this time he chose Qiu.

"Werewolves only turn into wolves on the night of the full moon."

"Not comprehensive." Snape waved her hand and sat her down, not at all insignificant, "In fact, they can also get very weak in the days before and after the full moon.

Why don't you write it all down? ”

There was a rustle of quill pens and parchment in the classroom.

"Turn to page 395 for a more detailed explanation......"

For the rest of the lesson, Snape didn't ask any more questions, just asked everyone to sit there and copy notes about werewolves from their books.

He himself patrolled back and forth between his desks to make sure everyone remembered completely.

The students seem to have returned to the days when two years ago, when every class was a copy of the secretary's notes.

The bell rang at last, but Snape wouldn't let them go.

"Each of you writes a paper for me on how to identify and kill werewolves, and I ask you to fill two rolls of parchment and turn them in on Monday morning."

Everyone walked out of the classroom quickly, with Kyle leading the way.

He had sat there without saying a word for the entire lesson just now, reducing his presence as much as possible.

Kyle had a hunch that if he had just said something wrong, or if Snape had caught him doing something wrong, the consequences would be much worse than the others.

Fortunately, it was finally delayed until the end of class.

Kyle was the first to walk out of the classroom, and the others followed, and it wasn't until they reached a place where Snape couldn't hear that everyone began to gossip.

"Oh my God, two rolls of parchment." Mikel complained, "That's enough for me to write my Defence Against the Dark Arts assignment five times ago." ”

"Even if it's a metamorphosis class, I can write it three times." Ryan added, "I wish Professor Lupin would get better soon, so we might not have to write this paper again." ”

Kyle didn't participate in their discussion, instead speeding down the stairs.

It wasn't until he returned to the common room, and the barrel door behind him slowly closed, that the feeling of being on his back gradually disappeared.
