Chapter 402 Luping: It’s over, I May Not Survive Today!
"Are you all ready?" Lupine asked loudly. When Harry and Malfoy nodded, Lupine released a red hat from the cage.
Ivan also lifted the petrification spell he had cast at the same time, allowing the other red hat to regain its ability to move.
These red hats who had been cast a confusion spell had completely lost their consciousness and could not notice the wizards around them at all. They would only follow their instinct and attack the nearest person.
Harry and Malfoy had seen how easily Ivan cast spells before, but when they faced it in person, they realized that this creature was not so easy to deal with.
Although the red hat was not tall and could only hit their shoulders if he jumped up, the crazy, seemingly unafraid of death aura on his face made them a little scared.
"Fainted!" Harry nervously imitated Ivan's appearance and cast the spell.
A magical beam flew out quickly, but deflected and hit the wall behind the red hat.
For Harry, who lacks combat experience, it is not easy to hit a fast-moving target, not to mention that the red hat is smaller and farther away, making it even more difficult to hit.
"Harry! Don't panic, calculate the distance and wait until the red hat is closer before using magic! Yes, that's right, now, cast the spell calmly!" Ivan pointed out to Harry how to find the right time.
Harry remembered it carefully, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and calmly waited for the red hat to approach before casting the Stunning Curse again.
A brilliant red light was emitted from the tip of the wand, and this time it hit the target. The running red hat stumbled to the ground, struggled for two times, and then fainted.
Malfoy on the other side was in a panic.
Although Lupine was on the side, instructing him to use the magic spell to expel the red hat, Malfoy, who already had problems with Lupine, was obviously not prepared to deal with it according to the method given by Lupine.
He directly cast a kind of black magic that he didn't know where he learned, and with good luck, he hit the red hat on the chest.
However, Malfoy obviously overestimated his magic level. The cursed red hat was not knocked down immediately, but instead rushed over with ferocity.
Malfoy panicked a little, and cast two spells in succession, one of which missed, and the other blew up the red hat's right arm.
But at this time, the red hat with a broken arm had already rushed forward, with a ferocious face and shouting. Malfoy was so panicked that he didn't know what to do and could only scream in horror.
"Save me, save me quickly"
"Petrify them all!" Along with Lupine's gentle voice, a burst of light hit the red hat, and the red hat, which maintained an offensive posture, was fixed in front of Malfoy.
The red hat's right arm was still dripping with blood, and the claws on his left arm were only ten centimeters away from catching Malfoy's arm.
The frightened Malfoy's face turned red and white. He glanced at Lupine angrily, feeling that Lupine must have wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so he deliberately waited until the last moment to rescue him.
Lupine didn't care much about Malfoy's attitude. He pointed out Malfoy's mistakes one by one during the battle and encouraged him to try again.
Malfoy stood back to his original position impatiently. This time he did not dare to mess around, and honestly followed Lupine's instructions to release the spell. A kind of magic specially used to repel red hats was used to confuse this guy.
Seeing the previous "powerful enemy" Red Hat lost his target and was spinning around in panic, and finally hit his head against the wall, Malfoy also let out a fierce anger, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Just thinking that he did it under Lupin's guidance made Malfoy a little awkward.
After Harry and Malfoy defeated the red hat, more and more little wizards came forward to try.
Unlike dealing with Boggarts, creatures that can only scare people, Red Hat's fierce-looking creature is actually a magical creature that can cause harm to people!
This kind of excitement is still very novel to these little wizards who have never experienced a life and death battle. Some little wizards even mistakenly thought that this was a real battle, and after winning, they proudly boasted that they were very calm in the battle. I’m not afraid either!
However, about one-third of the little wizards encountered various situations when they faced the red hat for the first time.
When it was Seamus' turn, he was even more anxious and hit Neville with a magic spell not far away from him. If Ivan hadn't reacted in time and blessed poor Neville with an iron armor spell, he would have died. Got hit
Fortunately, by the time the get out of class was about to end, every little wizard had successfully mastered the skills to deal with the red hat, and there was no initial panic when fighting.
This made most of the young wizards feel that they had become much stronger after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and they were full of praise for Lupine. They had been completely conquered by two consecutive interesting and exciting classes. got them.
"Professor Lupine's class is really great! Last time it was Boggart, this time it was Red Hat. I wonder what it will be next time?"
"He's the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor I've ever had!"
The little wizards were talking in a flurry, and these words were naturally heard by Lu Ping. He smiled lightly and felt a little emotional.
These few months at Hogwarts can be regarded as the most relaxing and happiest days for him in years.
There is no discrimination, you can enjoy delicious meals, and you get a decent salary.
Even teaching is not a task for him, because it is a very happy thing for him to communicate with these naughty and interesting students. Lu Ping hopes that his identity will never be revealed. people discovered.
After returning to his office from the classroom, Lupine took out the Wolfsbane potion he carried with him from the pocket of his wizard robe and prepared to drink it.
Calculating the time, the full moon night should be within these few days. It would be better to be safer and drink in advance.
However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lupine immediately stopped what he was doing and put the Wolfsbane potion into the drawer in a panic. Then he adjusted his mood before speaking.
"come in!"
"Hello, Professor Luping!" Ivan opened the door and walked in. After nodding, he closed the door behind him.
After thinking about it, Ivan felt that it was not safe, so he simply locked the door to prevent anyone from coming in and eavesdropping during the conversation.
Lupine saw Ivan's action of locking the door, and a chill suddenly surged into his heart. He felt that he might not survive today.
