Chapter 373 Substitute Teaching

The process of getting the crown was uneventful, but then Kyle didn't know where to start.

For a long time, every time he prepared to study the crown, he would end up looking at it in a daze.

Now that this thing has become Voldemort's Horcrux, even if Rowena Ravenclaw hides any information inside, it is impossible to see it.

How about trying it on?

Kyle raised the crown and gestured above his head for a while, then gave up on this somewhat suicidal decision.

Still nothing gained this time.

…

When Kyle put the box away again and returned to the common room, he happened to meet Connor who was looking for him.

"Class is about to start, I thought you had already gone."

"No, it's just something else." Kyle shook his head, took out a stack of textbooks and asked, "What's the next class?"

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

Since I changed the professor and no longer had to read textbooks and perform stage plays, Defense Against the Dark Arts suddenly became more interesting, and it has also become most people's favorite class.

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

His thoughts were very pure, as long as Harry liked it, he would hate it, that's all.

But he was only making fun of Professor Lupine for being shabbily dressed and only having a decent robe, not that the class he attended was uninteresting.

"I don't know what we will learn today." Kangna said while walking on the road. "We have already learned about the evil birds and leprechauns, and the next step should be the new magical creatures."

"It would be great if he could teach us how to deal with dementors." She said with some hope: "On the way to the herbal medicine class yesterday, I just looked at them from a distance and felt chilled all over."

"Professor Lupine most likely won't teach you these." Kyle shook his head and said, "But if you want to learn it, I can teach you the Patronus Charm."

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

"Yes." Kyle said, "The Patronus Charm is also recognized by the magic world as the most effective way to deal with dementors. How about it? Do you want to learn it?"

"Okay..." Kangna said without any hesitation.

Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Then just call me Professor Kyle and I will teach you."

"You have a beautiful idea!" Kangna angrily kicked Kyle's calf and turned her head to give him a slap on the back of her head.

The two of them arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

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

He noticed Kang Na's angry look, and then looked at Kyle. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face instantly darkened.

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

Kangna also came and sat next to him.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but since she sat down, Kyle always felt a chill on his neck.

Fortunately, not long after, the class bell rang.

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

"Unfortunately, your Professor Lupine is feeling a little unwell today and cannot come to class, so I will help teach instead."

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

"You need to raise your hand to ask questions in class. Five points will be deducted from Ravenclaw!" Snape gave the student who was speaking a cold look, which frightened the other student and quickly shut his mouth.

"It's not life-threatening." Snape's tone seemed a little regretful, "Besides, if anyone speaks without permission, ten points will be deducted."

The classroom was quiet, even the breathing was much quieter.

"Professor Lupine did not leave any records about what you have learned..." Snape continued: "I have to say that this kind of teaching without rules is really amateurish."

"Professor Lupine teaches very well..." Someone couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, and other students also agreed.

"That's because you are too easily satisfied... I think first-year students should be able to deal with leprechauns... Another ten points will be deducted from Ravenclaw."

The classroom fell silent again.

"We're going to learn something different today!" Snape said in a calm voice, "Everyone, turn the books to page 394!"

Although everyone felt a little baffled, because of Snape's reputation, they could only whisper in a low voice 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!"

Kangna stood up, "There are several small differences between werewolves and real wolves. The snout of a werewolf will be slightly shorter and the pupils will be smaller..."

"Very well, ten points for Hufflepuff."

Snape nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to ask: "Werewolves usually look no different from ordinary people, except for one thing. Can anyone tell me what it is."

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

"A werewolf only turns into a wolf on a full moon night."

"Not comprehensive." Snape waved his hand and asked her to sit down, without any intention of adding points. "In fact, they will also become very weak in the days before and after the full moon night.

What are you still doing? Why don't you write this down? "

There was a sudden rustling of quills and parchment in the classroom.

"Turn the book to page 395, there is a more detailed explanation there..."

In the rest of the class, Snape didn't ask any more questions. He just asked everyone to sit there and copy notes about werewolves from the book.

He himself walked back and forth between the desks to ensure that everyone had memorized everything thoroughly.

The students seemed to have gone back to two years ago, when every class was filled with copying notes from the secretary.

The bell finally rang, but Snape didn't let them leave.

"Each of you should write a paper and give it to me. The content is how to identify and kill werewolves. I ask you to fill two volumes of parchment and hand it in on Monday morning."

Everyone quickly left the classroom together, Kyle walking at the front.

For the entire class just now, he sat there without saying a word, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Kyle had a hunch that if he made a mistake just now or was caught by Snape making a mistake, the consequences would be much more serious than others.

Fortunately, it was finally postponed until the end of get out of class.

Kyle was the first to walk out of the classroom, and others followed him. When they reached a place where Snape couldn't hear, everyone began to discuss.

"Oh my god, two rolls of parchment." Mikel complained: "This is enough for me to write the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework five times ago."

"Even the Transfiguration class assignment can be written three times." Ryan added next to him: "I really hope Professor Luping can get better soon, so that we may not have to write this paper again."

Kyle didn't participate in their discussion and walked faster down the stairs.

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