Chapter 289 This world is never fair

When leaving Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid's mood improved. Maybe it was the name of Newt Scamander, the strongest tool man, that gave him confidence, or maybe it was the care of the upstart Ada and the troublemaker twins. He was very moved.

In any case, only if Hagrid cheers up can he and Buckbeak deal with the Malfoy family's difficulties and the Ministry of Magic's prejudice against him.

Yes, damn prejudice again. Although Hagrid's charges have been cleared due to the revelation of the Chamber of Secrets, and he is no longer a suspect in Myrtle's death, the Ministry of Magic is still biased against him.

Hagrid is not just a burly man, he is a hybrid giant. As for how Hagrid's father, Mr. Hagrid, married a giantess and had children, this question is too profound...

Although not many people know about this, Hagrid's huge size is really evocative. Not many ordinary people can grow up to 7 feet, let alone over 10 feet like Hagrid.

To give a straightforward example, the tallest person Ada knew in her previous life was Chairman Woman, aka Little Giant. The official height of Chairman Omen is 2m26, which is about 7.5 feet, which is almost an inch shorter than Hagrid.

With such a height, it’s hard not to make people suspicious! He has been taking growth potions since he was born, but he can't grow as tall as Hagrid!

Ada also had doubts about Hagrid's height. If she hadn't had doubts, she would have asked Hagrid a long time ago. Find out what Hagrid ate when he was a child, if there is any left, and if you can give her a whole portion.

Excluding the factor of height, giants are still very similar to humans, but their intelligence cannot keep up with humans. This is why many wizards are prejudiced against giants.

Many wizards look down on even the equally intelligent centaurs, goblins, and house elves. How could they look down on giants? What's more, the giants are not even civilized. They still live in the mountains in a tribal way. They are also cruel and tyrannical. They eat their hair and drink their blood. It is strange that they can be looked down upon.

Fifty years ago, Hagrid was blamed for killing Myrtle without any explanation. In addition to the fact that he had raised Acromantulas, this prejudice was also a key factor.

Although no one died in this incident, the perpetrators were "also" Hagrid and his magical animals. You don't have to wonder where the Ministry of Magic's butt will sit.

Moreover, there was Lucius Malfoy behind this incident, so Hagrid could only place his hope in Dumbledore and Newt Scamander.

Regardless of Hagrid's height or the Ministry of Magic's prejudices, Ada and the others' first priority was to attend class.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the two new professors' classes were scheduled on the same day. Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures in the morning and Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts in the afternoon.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, students habitually took out their textbooks and prepared to read the text emotionally or perform a stage play. This was a habit they had developed during Lockhart's tenure.

The reason why Dumbledore hired Lockhart in the first place was not only to expose him, but also to hope that students would learn something from him and establish a better outlook on life.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's hope was completely wishful thinking, and the vast majority of students failed to learn anything useful from Lockhart.

The whole thing collapsed. As a negative example and a failure case, Lockhart can be said to be very successful.

Based on Lockhart's foundation, as long as the new professor is a normal person, he will be better than him. What's more, Lupine showed off his skills on the Hogwarts Express, and successfully drove away the dementors with a spell that the students didn't realize was powerful.

"Ada, when can we learn the Patronus?" Angelina asked. She had become interested in the Patronus Charm last school year, and this school year the twins also showed off their Patronus Charms, which made Angelina even more jealous.

Angelina Johnson is not the only one who is so ambitious. Alia is also the same. She wants to know what her patron saint will look like.

The Patronus Charm is an extremely difficult spell that many adult wizards cannot cast, and the upper limit of this spell is also very high. Expelling dementors and Voldebats is just the basic function of the spell. For example, using a patron saint to convey messages is a special application of this spell.

Ada had not originally planned to teach Dawn such a difficult spell. They were both in fifth grade, and Katie and Lini were only in fourth grade. But this year was a special situation. A large group of dementors surrounded Hogwarts, and this spell had to be put on the agenda.

"Let's go to the next meeting," Ada responded. "At least there will be one more way to face the Dementors."

Angelina and Aaliyah hugged Ada immediately. They were so enthusiastic that they let Ada know that Europeans and Americans do develop quickly...

The twins looked at the three girls hugging each other calmly. They looked like they had never seen the world. It was just a patronus charm. Is it difficult? Amazing? He said it as if no one could!

In the classroom, the students were talking to each other. Professor Lu Ping finally arrived belatedly. As soon as he entered the classroom, the bell for class rang.

Just right, not bad at all, he is a master of stuck points.

Lupine's clothes were still a little shabby, but his face looked much better than when he was on the train. His face was rosy and shiny. Could it be that some kind of oral liquid was added to the meals at Hogwarts?

From the moment she was given chocolates on the train, Ada knew that the new professor was above Lockhart. Later, she learned that Lupine had used the Patronus Charm to drive away the dementors and save Harry who fainted. Ada was even more convinced that Lupine was not simple.

A layman was watching the excitement, an expert was watching the door. Hermione only knew that Lupine easily drove away the dementors with the Patronus Charm, but Ada heard something different from their words.

Being able to drive away the Dementors so easily with just a Patronus that resembled silver mist showed that Lupine was a master, at least at the Patronus Charm.

Ada doesn't believe that a master who uses the Patronus Charm can only use "fog" to deal with dementors. Lupine must have adopted this method because he didn't want to expose his patron saint or reveal some of his information.

Mature patron saints usually take the form of ordinary animals. The type of animal depends on the character of the caster and other personal information, such as Ada's Chow Chow and the twins' magpies.

Lupine is not the first wizard to protect his privacy by hiding the image of his patronus. This is not surprising, but Ada is just curious. She wants to know what secret Lupine hides?

Although Ada is not the eldest daughter of the Chitanda family and can't just say "I'm very curious" and let people go crazy to find out the truth, but who is not a little princess?

Ada is also a very curious person and she can figure it out on her own. If that doesn't work, there are two Weasley idiots who can help!

Professor Luping looked at the students in the classroom, with a faint smile on his face. Lu Ping's body always exudes a touch of bookishness, which makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze. He is indeed an elegant and easy-going person.

"Good afternoon, please put your textbooks back in your schoolbags. We won't need them for this class." Although Lu Ping looked sick, his voice was very warm when he spoke.

Lupine sat casually on the table in the first row. He smiled and said: "I know your worries. In fact, I was also very stressed about taking over the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at the beginning, and I was worried about what I would do. Not good. But until I heard the story about my ex, I felt no pressure at all.”

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became very cheerful. Lockhart came out to whip the corpse, which suddenly shortened the distance between Lupine and the students.

"Furthermore, you can rest assured that I was not a writer in my previous job, and I have not won any awards from Wizards Weekly." Lupine continued, "nor will I in the future."

After repeatedly whipping the corpse, Lu Ping had already won the favor of the students even though he hadn't officially started class yet. At this moment, Lupine looked less like their professor and more like their big friend.

"I quite like him!" Fred whispered, and George nodded in agreement.

Lupine raised his hand and made a downward movement, and the classroom immediately fell silent. Everyone was waiting for him to see if he had anything "amazing" to say.

In Remus Lupin's elegant smile, Ada saw a lot of bad water. Why did this new professor have such a sense of déjà vu?
