Chapter 368: Cedric and Fred
Chapter 368: Cedric and Fred
Amidst the noisy commotion, Professor Lupin had to raise his voice and call out to the students outside, "Come back, you haven't finished your homework yet!"
It seemed that as soon as he said this, those students ran even faster, and within seconds, they rushed down the stairs and disappeared.
Even the other students in the classroom began to stir, moving their feet lightly and occasionally glancing towards the door.
But the next moment, the door suddenly closed by itself.
"For homework, please read the chapter on Evil Harpies and briefly write down methods to deal with them," Professor Lupin said as he put away his wand and spoke lightly. "The length should be one foot, and for those who left the classroom early, it's one foot and six inches... Please remind them from the same college, so they don't forget to submit it next class."
Hearing that their homework was six inches longer than theirs, some students patted their chests, indicating that they would definitely deliver the message.
"Don't worry, Professor Lupin, this is what we should do," they said.
"They want to skip homework... How annoying! They deserve the extra six inches!"
...
Professor Lupin nodded, "That's all, class dismissed!"
The students left the classroom excitedly, chatting.
"Kyle, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Kyle, who had just reached the door, stopped and turned to ask, "What is it, Professor?"
"It's a small matter," Professor Lupin said as he approached.
It was just the end of class, and this classroom was near the stairs. Professor Lupin looked at the students coming and going in the corridor and spoke softly, "Come with me, it won't take too long."
"Okay."
Kyle nodded and turned to Conna, saying, "You go to the Great Hall first, I'll be there soon."
"It's fine," Conna said, "Professor Lupin said it won't take long, I'll wait for a while."
"Hmm... Alright."
After parting with Conna, Kyle followed Professor Lupin through two corridors and stopped outside the staff room.
"Go in," Professor Lupin said as he opened the door and stepped back.
Kyle had been here once before, but at that time, the owner was Professor Lockhart. After it was changed to Professor Lupin, all the fancy decorations were removed, leaving only a few old chairs.
When Kyle entered, there was already someone inside.
Professor Snape was sitting in an armchair, and when Kyle entered, he turned his face, his eyes shining brightly.
"Severus," Professor Lupin greeted him, "How did you get here?"
"Dumbledore told me about the matter," Professor Snape said, "I came to tell you that in another week, the potions will be ready. You can come to pick them up at any time, or I can also deliver them... whenever you need them."
"Thank you, Severus," Professor Lupin said, "You've helped me a lot."
"It's unavoidable for the students' safety," Professor Snape said, glancing at Kyle intentionally or unintentionally.
But Kyle just turned his head, seemingly more interested in an old wardrobe next to him.
"Well, I wish you both a pleasant chat."
Professor Snape stood up and walked towards the door, but as he passed by Kyle, he suddenly stopped and casually asked, "By the way, did you receive the Order of Merlin Second Class for killing a werewolf at St. Mungo's?"
"Not exactly," Kyle replied with a faint smile, "It was only a minor injury, Professor, and it was with the help of Professor Hagrid and Professor Kettleburn."
Professor Lupin raised his eyebrows, his face turning slightly unnatural.
"Oh... I must have remembered it wrong," Professor Snape said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he strode out and slammed the door shut.
"Alright," Professor Lupin said, walking over to the corner and opening a box. He took out several parchments and placed them on the table, then took out two Galleons and handed them to Kyle along with the parchments.
"Professor, what's this?" Kyle asked.
"Do you remember? You lent me two Galleons on the train," Professor Lupin said with a smile, "Dumbledore has advanced me a month's salary."
"No need, Professor, I..."
"Listen to me, Kyle."
Professor Lupin interrupted him, "I understand what you mean, but as a professor, I can't accept money from students. It's absolutely unacceptable... Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Professor Lupin's expression was serious.
"I understand." Kyle took the two Galleons.
"But I also want to thank you." Professor Lupin smiled again, "Thanks to these two Galleons, I can buy a decent set of clothes before class."
He didn't hide his embarrassment and even joked, "The cheapest clothes in Hogsmeade Village are fifteen Sickles, and the extra money can buy a box of Chocolate Frogs. I used to like this the most... By the way, do you collect cards?"
He took out a Chocolate Frog card from his pocket.
Kyle took a glance... Salazar Slytherin.
"No!" Kyle shook his head firmly.
Professor Lupin didn't mind and assumed that Kyle already had this card.
"And this, consider it as my thank you."
He picked up the parchment in his hand and said, "I remember you also used the Patronus Charm on the train, but you couldn't summon a complete Patronus.
"This parchment contains the methods I've summarized for learning the Patronus Charm, and it should help you."
"Um..."
Kyle wanted to tell Professor Lupin that he actually knew the Patronus Charm and used it quite well, but since this was a gift, to avoid embarrassment for both parties, he still took the parchment.

"Thank you, Professor."
"You're welcome." Professor Lupin smiled and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can always come and ask me."
"Mmm... I will."
"It's nothing, go back quickly." Professor Lupin blinked, "Don't let your friends wait too long."
"Goodbye, Professor."
Just as Kyle turned around and prepared to leave, he suddenly found two people in front of him.
Cedric and Fred, they were lying motionless on the floor as if they were dead.
"Oh, it's a Boggart..."
Professor Lupin also noticed this and walked forward, saying, "I always thought it was hiding here, but I didn't expect it to be here. I'll help you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Kyle had already raised his wand.
Almost instinctively... Towering flames erupted from the wand and condensed into the shape of a fire dragon in mid-air.
"Snap!"
The fire dragon exhaled a ball of flame, and a scorching wave instantly swept through the entire office.
All the windows shattered, and the furniture in the room instantly turned into a pile of ashes.
Cedric and Fred's "corpses" disappeared, and a black mist-like thing constantly twisted and deformed in front of the fire dragon, eventually disappearing completely...
Everything happened too quickly, and by the time Professor Lupin reacted, the office had become a ruin.
"Stop..."
Looking at the enormous fire dragon in front of him, he drew out his wand in terror.
"Incendio Stoppo!"
But it didn't work.
The "fire dragon" seemed to be enraged, turning its increasingly massive body and opening its mouth towards him.
At this moment...
"Finis Omnium Incantatum!"
Another golden flame rose, attaching itself to the "fire dragon," and its massive body began to shrink rapidly.
The "fire dragon" at this moment was like the Boggart from earlier, constantly struggling until it completely disappeared.
Professor Lupin raised his head in a daze.
The office was in disarray, with furniture, including windows, gone, and the door only barely hanging on the frame.
Footsteps sounded outside, as if someone had heard the commotion and was coming over.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I..."
"This is too dangerous..." Professor Lupin shouted, "That's not how you use the Flame Charm!"
After saying this, he rushed out of the office and sent the students away before they could reach the door.
"There's nothing to see, go to the Great Hall for lunch... Hurry back, don't be late for the afternoon class."
"Oh, Professor McGonagall... You're here too... It's nothing, just a little accident with the Flame Charm, but it's all resolved now."
