Chapter 136
When he got out of the car, Peter was once again in the spotlight.
Only this time, many students looked at him in awe, as if he would fire a spell at himself at any time!
“Let’s let’s make it, this is our great hero who bravely fights the Dark Wizard, remember to be polite and know!” It’s you, the hufflepuff with a blank face, have you done something bad, why are you so scared to see us Peter? The twins, who were on Peter’s shoulders and hugged him, spoke in a hilarious tone to those around them, trying to soften the atmosphere.
Alan and Cedric also surrounded Peter, guarding him like guards, separating the students around him from him.
“Peter, did you really kill twelve dark wizards, as the Daily Prophet said?” A Gryffindor student asked boldly, looking at him with a look of curiosity and fear.
Peter turned to look at him, smiled, and asked, “I remember that you came from the Muggle world like me, right, in the Muggle world, when the outlaws want to break into the house, the residents have the right to shoot and kill, without responsibility!”
Think about it, if you break into a group of terrorists in your house. They want to hurt you and your family, and you just happen to have a gun that can protect your family, will you be willing to pick up a gun and fight against terrorists? ”
Peter did not answer the classmate’s words directly, but assumed a reason to ask rhetorically, looking at him with gentle eyes, waiting for his answer.
“Of course, of course I would like to pick up a gun to protect my family!” If anyone dares to hurt my family, I will fight with him! The Gryffindor student, full of righteous words, looked into Peter’s eyes, and gradually changed from awe to adoration.
“So, why bother with whether I killed the Dark Wizard or not, instead of thinking about how to learn magic so that I can protect myself and my friends and family?”
“Some people may think that I killed twelve Dark Wizards too cruelly!”
But think about it, those are twelve Dark Wizards who are far more powerful than me! If I can’t kill myself in one shot, it’s me and my family! Maybe at this time, you will be able to see my obituary in the newspaper! ”
“So, students, I want to give you a piece of advice! In the future, if you encounter the same crisis, please do not hesitate, you can not do dumb as Dumbledore so easily that the enemy is powerless to resist, then do not leave the enemy with the opportunity to fight back against you!
Of course, I am not advocating killing them, but I mean that after defeating the enemy, it is better to directly add a coma spell to him than not to do anything! ”
Peter spoke slowly to the people around him in a speech way, just enough for the people around him to hear.
On the hillside in the distance, Dumbledore stood with an old wizard who looked somewhat introverted, quietly listening to Peter’s movements below.
“Is he quite gifted with speech?” So quickly changed the fear of his classmates around him! Language is a very magical magic! Dumbledore said in amazement.
“He reminds me of Grindelwald’s speech in France in 1927!” The old wizard looked a little complicated, looking at the boy below, “It’s also very inspiring!” ”
“Dumbledore, are you sure I can teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?” The old wizard said with some uneasiness, “If it is a magical animal, I have some confidence, but I am not good at defense against the Dark Arts!” ”
“Newt, you can’t be so arrogant! You have been exploring all kinds of dangerous places around the world over the years, and you can subdue so many dangerous magical animals, but it is not something that ordinary people can do! Dumbledore comforted the somewhat withdrawn old wizard and encouraged, “If you are not suitable, I don’t know who else can be qualified for the Defense Against the Dark Arts!” ”
As the students got into the carriage one after another to return to the castle, Peter walked to the front of the carriage and carefully looked at the night horse. This time he could see the Night Horse, and it was obvious that the twelve dead Dark Wizards had allowed him to witness death!
“Peter, can you see the Night Horse?” Cedric walked up and asked, then curiously, “Did you see the night horse look the same as described in the book?” ”
“Aren’t you afraid?” Peter asked in surprise, the last time Cedric was still very resistant, how did he change his attitude after not seeing him for a few days?
“I went home and asked my dad, and my dad said that the Minister’s vehicle for the Minister of Magic was a flying carriage pulled by a night horse! So apart from being able to make it special to people who have seen death, there is nothing special about it! Cedric was a little embarrassed by the last reaction.
“Yes! I thought only the Hogwarts flying carriages were pulled by night horses. I didn’t expect the Ministry of Magic to do the same! Peter said with some surprise, and then he couldn’t help but reach out and touch the night qi and find that they did not feel so bad to the touch.
“The school has flying carriages! How come I’ve never seen it? Alan stuck his head out of the carriage and asked in surprise.
“Of course there is, in addition to the Hogwarts Express, the school also has a flying carriage!
Usually there are major off-campus activities, and the school will drive a flying carriage to carry students and professors to participate!
It’s just that Hogwarts hasn’t participated in off-campus activities in recent years, so the flying carriage can only be placed in the warehouse to eat ashes! Peter explained.
“We have lived in the wizarding world since we were young!” Why do you know more than we do? The twins said in a grim tone.
Alan and Cedric on the side also had the same expression.
“Read more books! The book has everything you want to know! Peter said sincerely.
“Your words always make me feel like we’re empty-headed scum!” The twins were suddenly discouraged.
“Aren’t you?” Alan and Cedric asked wordlessly.
At the dinner, Dumbledore announced the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
“This is Newt Scamander, who will teach you Defence Against the Dark Arts for the next half semester!” Let us have a warm welcome to him! ”
Newtskamand sat uncomfortably in the professor’s seat on the stage, and after Dumbledore’s announcement, he stood up somewhat awkwardly and nodded to the crowd.
“Merlin, Master Scamander, actually came to teach us Defence Against the Dark Arts!” Shouldn’t he teach Magical Animal Protection? Some students were pleasantly surprised.
As an internationally renowned expert in magical beasts and the author of the best-selling “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” works, Newt Scamander can be described as a world-renowned!
When the students heard that there was such a famous figure and came to teach them the Defense of the Dark Arts, they were very surprised and enthusiastically applauded. The Hufflepuff badgers, in particular, were even more excited, shouting with joy, “This is Master Scamander of our academy!” ”
In the days that followed, things went as usual, and apart from Peter’s growing fame, life didn’t change much.
The arrival of Newt Scamander has really brought defence against the Dark Arts class back to life!
He combines the Defence against the Dark Arts with the magical beasts he is good at, taking the students on a different magical animal every day and explaining how to deal with them, plus practicing magic from time to time. Make Defence Against the Dark Arts quickly become a popular course!
