Chapter 367 Evil Bird and Illusion
Because the professor changes every year, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is not fixed, and it changes every year.
Last year Lockhart chose a large, sunny classroom to display his large self-portraits on the walls.
Professor Lupine didn't have a self-portrait or even a few photos, so he just chose an ordinary empty classroom.
When they rushed over, there were only a few people in the classroom talking to each other.
They sat down and waited for a while before Professor Lupine finally walked into the classroom, with a faint smile on his face, and put a battered old box on the podium.
I don't know if it's because he ate a few good meals, his complexion looks much healthier than when he was on the train, and with a clean new robe, it's like a different person.
"Good morning," he said cheerfully, "please put your books back, everyone, today is a practical lesson, and all you need are wands."
The students put away the books and exchanged a few curious glances with each other. They vaguely remembered someone saying the same thing... Oren in the first grade.
He did the same at the beginning, asking them to put away their textbooks and focus on practice.
Some people are starting to get excited.
Although Oren is a dark wizard, it is undeniable that the first year of Defense Against the Dark Arts was the most interesting, and he really prepared every class with his heart.
Instead of... perfunctory like some two professors.
They are obviously not good people, but their dedication to work is very different... This is probably why, only Oren was able to run away in the end.
"Okay." Seeing that everyone was ready, Professor Lupine took out a large cage with a curtain, "I have prepared a little surprise for you."
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes became even more strange.
Oren did the same in the first class before, taking out a cage with Billywigs in it and saying that he had prepared a surprise for them.
If you ignore what's inside, their actions, including the opening words, are almost exactly the same.
These two are not related...
Father and son?The age does not match.
brother?But judging by their appearance, they don't look alike!
But Professor Lupine didn't know what they were thinking. He lifted the cloth of the cage, revealing a bird with gorgeous feathers inside.
The feathers on its head are very fluffy, but its claws are so small that it looks like an upside-down drop of water.
"A professor told me that there was almost no progress in Defense Against the Dark Arts in the first two years, so you..."
His gaze stayed on Kyle for a while, "... most people's foundations are not very good."
"We have defeated werewolves." A Ravenclaw whispered: "In Lockhart's stage play, there are trolls, vampires..."
Everyone around understood, and there was a burst of laughter.
"Okay, but that's not your true level."
Professor Lupine didn't smile, he just twitched the corners of his mouth and changed the subject: "So I asked Professor Hagrid to find it from the Forbidden Forest and use it as a small test to determine how much you have mastered. Knowledge."
"First question, does anyone know what kind of animal this is?"
Kyle raised his hand and said, "The wicked bird."
"That's right, it's the Wicked Bird, five points for Hufflepuff." Professor Lupine said, "Then what special abilities does it have?"
Cho raised her hand faster this time,
"The singing of the Wicked Bird can make people lose their minds and make some very abnormal behaviors."
"Quite right, five points for Ravenclaw."
Professor Lupine said, "When you see a slut bird, it's best to cover your ears immediately... But don't worry, everyone, the slut bird you saw just drank a large glass of brandy and was still drunk. Thinking about its current singing voice can make people dizzy for a while at most, that's all.
"The spell used to deal with the Witchbirds is also very simple, you just need to keep them silent.
"Let's practice the spell without the wand first, please say to me...Lock tongue and throat!"
"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!" The whole class said together.
"Very good," Professor Lupine raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to stand up, and then moved the tables, chairs and benches to the side. "But just knowing the spell is not enough. Now everyone is making a good team, Kyle, how about you come first."
Kyle nodded and stepped forward.
Professor Lupine opened the cage.
But that Wretch Bird seemed to be drinking too much, standing there with its eyes closed, Kyle could even hear its long breathing...
"Are you ready?"
Professor Lupine took out an old-fashioned record player, and after getting an affirmative answer from Kyle, he moved the needle.
There was cheerful drumming in the classroom.
Here's "A Hot Spatula" by the Weird Sisters, the most uptempo hit of a decade or so ago.
When the music played, it was visible to the naked eye that the feathers of the Wicked Bird fluttered around.It opened its eyes and immediately sang cheerfully to the rhythm.
Some students immediately covered their ears, but some chose to believe what Professor Lupine said.
They unexpectedly discovered that the singing of the Witch Bird is not that harsh noise, but very nice, clear and melodious, like the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves, or like the sound of flowers blooming... Strange, why do flowers have sounds? Woolen cloth?
It wasn't until there was a burst of warm applause from around that they came back to their senses.
The wicked bird in front opened its mouth, but it didn't make any more sound.
"How do you feel?" Professor Lu Ping asked with a smile.
"It's great." A Ravenclaw girl said excitedly: "I heard many kinds of voices, and I seem to see the Forbidden Forest full of flowers."
"It seems that this vampire bird has a good capacity for alcohol, if I knew it, I would have given it a little more."
"But it's fine for now."
Professor Lupine said to everyone: "As you can see, this is the effect of the witch bird's song, which can make people hear or see things that don't exist...just like them."
He pointed in the classroom, and those who didn't cover their ears before had basically left the team now, but the distance was not far, only two or three steps away.
"If it's normal, they've started their adventures in the Forbidden Forest by now, and then you can see a series of strange and funny actions."
Most of the people had a look of disappointment, and they kind of hoped it would be that way.
Professor Lu Ping continued: "This is also the second point I want to tell you. Witchbirds just sound unfriendly in name, but their songs are very pleasant. Unknowingly, they can make people fall into their own hallucinations. .
So no matter when, we must remain vigilant,
"Afterwards, I will undo the spell on the Witch Bird at any time, and you must hear its singing before you can recite the spell. Do you remember?"
"Remember, Professor!" Everyone said.
"Okay, next one."
Kyle walked to the side, and Ryan behind him immediately stepped forward, staring closely at the Wicked Bird.
Some covered their ears again, but a few chose not to, apparently wanting to see the Forbidden Forest in full bloom.
In contrast, the spell against the Wretch Bird has become less important.
Professor Lupine didn't stop him either, just watched with interest.
When the get out of class was about to end, I don't know if it was because of the drunkenness, but the singing of the Wicked Bird suddenly became much louder.
Several people who were frolicking immediately became sluggish, and some people were stretching their arms and legs, as if they were performing some kind of climbing exercise.
Some people regarded themselves as fish in the black lake, lying on the ground and shaking their legs.
The people in the classroom were laughing like crazy.
Ryan clutched his stomach and ran to Mikel to learn his movements.
Mikel didn't cover his ears either, he was trying to stretch his neck, trying to bite his heel.
Professor Lu Ping couldn't help smiling. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and dragged back a student standing on the windowsill who was about to dive from a high platform.
"I think by now they'll know how dangerous the song of the Witchbird is," he said.
The students laughed louder.
However, this situation did not last long. By the end of get out of class, everyone had basically recovered.
As soon as the bell rang, they couldn't wait to rush out, as if they didn't want to stay for a moment, and the classroom was in chaos.
