Chapter 306 Fearless, Professor Lupin Is a Werewolf
Thorin Oakenshield jumped angrily, slammed the crown he was wearing to the ground, and then continued to transform.
This time, the person who appeared in front of Aaron was a kind-hearted old man. Everyone else had curiosity and confusion in their eyes, even Professor Lupine and Professor Snape.
They can all feel the peaceful aura exuding from this old man. He is different from Dumbledore, but absolutely trustworthy.
At first glance, this old man seems to be a pure good person and not worth fearing at all.
Could it be that he is a deceased elder in Aaron's family? Seeing him will bring back some memories from the past.
Aaron rolled his eyes secretly.
Gandalf? Why don't you become Dumbledore?
"I'll count to three, and you give me the next one.
As far as the responsibilities this old bastard has imposed on me, I have done my best to refrain from slapping him twice. "
The corners of Gandalf's eyes twitched violently, as if he felt the strong malice emanating from Aaron, and he took a step back in panic.
His body slowly faded as he retreated, turning into a gray ball spinning at high speed.
Roar!
A roar suddenly sounded, and the ball turned into a huge dragon, with human mockery in its cold vertical pupils.
The students' scalps were numb and they trembled unconsciously in excitement. A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of Lupine and Snape.
What's wrong with you? Must become the most destructive creature in the magical world.
Fortunately, this was just a Boggart. If it were a real dragon, it would be a bit difficult for both of them to ride on it at this size. It would be difficult for Dumbledore to come over and subdue it.
Aaron looked at the low-imitation version of Smaug in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
With a size of only ten meters, the pressure brought to him was less than one-tenth of Smaug's.
But yes, the Boggart's transformation ability has its limits. If it could be imitated 100%, it would be the strongest creature in the magic world.
A white magic circle emerged on Aaron's right side, and he took out a black arrow from it.
This was one of the ones that killed Smaug, and he kept it secretly, so no one knew about it.
Aaron locked his eyes on the wound on Smaug's left chest, sneered and killed him.
He was able to kill Smaug because of Bard's divine assist. Now, although he has no helper, his opponent is just a pseudo-dragon, and he is confident that he can handle it.
"Funny."×2.
Professor Snape and Professor Lupin cast spells at the same time, and the Boggart screamed and turned into blue smoke and quickly got into the cabinet, avoiding Aaron's fatal blow.
Aaron had to stop halfway, "Um...professor, are you still here?"
"You don't need to. This class is for you to deal with Boggarts, not for you to overcome the fear in your heart." Professor Lu Ping was still frightened.
He didn't dare to let Aaron continue. The creatures transformed by the Boggart based on the fear in his heart were more exaggerated than the last. Maybe there would really be a teaching accident.
"Professor Snape." Aaron looked at him eagerly, his meaning was obvious: I didn't embarrass you, did I?
Snape's mouth twitched and he nodded slowly.
"Gaius, that dragon just now...is it real?"
"How is that possible?" Aaron said nonsense seriously, "That was a birthday gift from my grandfather. He thought I was too timid, so he gave me a realistic toy model to practice my courage.
You... aren't you scared? "
The Gryffindors looked at each other, they thought it was true!
A dragon is much more exciting than those spiders, cobras, and severed hands.
Snape and Lupine looked at each other. The former said nothing, while the latter stood up and coughed a few times.
“That’s it for today’s class, go to the back to get your books.
In addition, everyone performed very well in this class. The homework is due next Monday. Summarize Boggart in simple words. As for the number of words... you can make up your own mind, but don't be perfunctory with the teacher. "
The students left the staff room talking and laughing. They thought this Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson was particularly useful and interesting.
Professor Lupin has also been unanimously recognized by Gryffindor. At least compared to Gilderoy Lockhart, he is a pretty good professor.
"Professor Lupin, it seems that you almost had an accident in your class!" Snape showed a winner's smile.
"But it was a complete success." Lupine disagreed, because there were explosions in Snape's Potions class. In comparison, his Defense Against the Dark Arts class was much safer.
"Honestly, do you think Harry Potter can deal with Dementors?"
"That's why I stood in front of him in time." Lupine said, "As for the Dementors... I will teach him the Patronus Charm."
"What a responsible and good teacher!" Snape said angrily.
Hearing this, Aaron secretly complained in his heart.
He was sure Snape had thought about teaching Harry Potter the spell, but he couldn't pull that old face off.
Now that I have a ready-made tool, I can’t believe how happy I am!
"Gaius, Slytherin is not suitable for you." Lupine said suddenly, "If you are willing, I can discuss with Professor McGonagall to transfer you to Gryffindor House."
"Lupin." Snape's face instantly darkened, "You are a third-year Slytherin poaching in front of Headmaster Slytherin, do you still want to show off?"
"I just suggested that if he doesn't want to, he can pretend that I didn't say anything." Professor Lu Ping hurriedly added.
Snape gave him a cold look, and then left with Aaron.
"Professor." Walking in the corridor, Aaron hesitated, "What kind of person is Professor Lu Ping?"
"You'd better stay away from him." Snape said meaningfully, "This is my advice to you."
"A werewolf?"
Snape stopped, turned around and looked at Aaron. After a long silence, he asked, "How did you know? When did you know?"
Aaron picked up Abe, "On the train, he told me that there was a beast living inside Professor Lupine.
At that time, I thought he was a schizophrenic, but just now the Boggart turned into a full moon in front of him... It seems that normal humans are not afraid of the moon!
With a beast inside me, a fear of the moon, I can't think of anything else but a werewolf. "
"My observations are very keen." Snape said with some relief, "I am particularly opposed to inviting werewolves to be professors, but there is nothing I can do if the principal agrees.
But there is no need to worry about the student's safety. I will deliver the wolfsbane potion to him before the full moon night. "
"I suddenly sympathize with him." Aaron said thoughtfully, "Werewolves have a low status in human society. It's no wonder that his clothes and suitcase are in tatters."
"It's best to put away your sympathy." Snape warned seriously, "When he was a human, he was still somewhat rational, but when he turned into a wolf, even the people closest to him would be torn into pieces by him.
If you are lucky enough to see a werewolf on a full moon night, the best thing to do is..."
"run?"
"You have to run away as a last resort. The most correct thing to do is to kill him."
"Ah this..."
Aaron was a little confused. He didn't think what Snape said was wrong, but the problem was that their current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a werewolf.
It’s okay if you don’t know him, but it’s a bit difficult to kill the teacher!
"From now on, you should hide in the dormitory on full moon nights!" Aaron said, "Out of sight, out of mind. If you really can't hide... then beat him to death.
If all his limbs are broken off, there won't be much of a threat. "
Hearing this, Snape raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can do it...I have no objection."
"I have it. It's really not difficult to do this." Aaron pointed meaningfully at Abe in his arms, who also raised his head proudly.
Snape's eyes twitched slightly and he opened his mouth hesitantly.
He almost forgot that Aaron had a dragon. It was true that werewolves were ferocious, but they were still not enough in front of the dragon.
Moreover, Aaron and his pets are basically inseparable, so safety is absolutely guaranteed.
"It seems you don't have to worry about me anymore."
After Snape finished speaking, he walked forward, but Aaron still followed him.
"It's none of your business, go back and rest!"
"Uh...that's right, Professor, I still have some questions."
"explain."
"Is Sirius Black really here to kill Harry Potter?"
Snape frowned tightly, "Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. I always feel like there's something wrong but I can't tell."
"Mind your own business." Snape said disdainfully, "Aside from killing Harry Potter, can you think of any other reason?
Sirius went through all the trouble to escape from prison and come to Hogwarts. He couldn't just revisit the old place and reminisce about the past, right? "
Aaron: ...
It makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
"Any thing else?"
"Hmm...what if Dumbledore wants to find me?"
"You are my student. As long as it is not too important, I will help you stop it or help him convey it." Snape said seriously.
Aaron was relieved and immediately picked up Abe and walked to the Slytherin common room.
Seeing him walking away, Snape let out a long sigh and changed direction and walked towards the eighth floor of the castle.
Through a spiral staircase, Snape entered an oak door.
"Here you are, Severus." Dumbledore raised the tea cup in his hand, "Would you like a cup of honey tea?"
"No."
Snape walked to the headmaster's desk and sat on the chair opposite with an expressionless expression.
Dumbledore shrugged and put the teapot on the table, "What did the Boggart become in front of him?"
"It's more exaggerated than you think." Snape mused. "Aaron didn't seem to be particularly afraid of anything. The Boggart transformed four times in front of him, but failed every time."
"What became?"
“Three completely different people, but all three of them were scolded back by him.
The fourth one was a dragon, but he was not afraid. Instead, he picked up a weapon and killed it actively.
If Lupine and I hadn't taken action in time, the Boggart might have been seriously injured. "
Snape said patiently, and Dumbledore was silent for a long time after hearing this. "It seems that he is much more optimistic and stronger than I thought. I am ashamed of myself for this."
