On Monday morning, Hufflepuff's first class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, compared with the first week of school, everyone went to today's class with great expectations.
After experiencing Lockhart's terrible experience and Snape's hell, as long as Lupine is a normal person and his teaching level is acceptable, the little wizards will not hesitate to give him a high score, whether he is a lower grader or a senior grader. students, they all have this consensus.
Especially those senior students who have experienced many weird professors, such as the unlucky guy who died in a fight in the Three Broomsticks two years ago. He claimed to be an archaeologist, but in fact he was just a rubbish, because He dug up the ancestral grave of a certain wizarding family abroad and took refuge in Hogwarts. Although he was a bit dead, his teaching was still manageable.
There is also the unlucky guy who died drunk in the Devil's Net the year before last. He was very good at dealing with sewer creatures, but his bad habit of drinking always made his classes smell like drunkenness.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, students at Hogwarts can always be more tolerant, unless it is so bad that people have to complain.
In the classroom, the little wizards were chatting. There was a thick textbook on every table. Lockhart's storybook set had been returned for recycling, and the money for the new textbook would be deducted from it. Unfortunately, the remaining ten gold galleons would not go into their pockets, but would be sent back home, which disappointed the little wizards.
Not long after, Lupine came. He was wearing a black standard cloak commonly worn by Hogwarts professors. His tall and straight figure looked energetic. Lupine had a faint smile on his face. He nodded to the students. head.
"Good morning." He said, "Please put your new textbooks back into your bags. Today we will have a practical lesson."
"Professor Snape had a discussion with me. He taught you a lot of practical theoretical knowledge when he was a substitute teacher. Now I am going to conduct a practical test based on the theoretical knowledge he taught you. But please don't worry, it won't be very long. It’s difficult, it’s all what Professor Snape has explained to you before.”
"Okay," Lupine said after seeing that everyone was ready, "come with me."
The students stood up one after another with worry and interest, and followed Lupine's footsteps and left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Lupine led them through the long corridor and around a corner. When they came near Filch's office, they saw Peeves, who everyone in Hogwarts knew. He was gnashing his teeth and arguing with an armor statue.
Peeves seems to be planning to install a turd egg launcher. Recently, Filch launched a crazy hunt for Peeves because Peeves cut off Mrs. Norris's fur, although this made all the little wizards clap their hands. Applauded, but Filch hated this damn guy.
Although Filch couldn't really cause trouble for Peeves, he still messed up his pranks several times. Peeves, who was not planning to take action against the students for the time being, would keep an eye on Filch and plan to give him some trouble. He's going to do a tough job.
"It seems that the relationship between the twins and Peeves is not bad?" Harry glanced at the gadget in Peeves' hand. If nothing else, the big turd egg launcher was a prop tinkered with by the twins. If Filch came from When I came out of the office, I immediately had to have an intimate tongue kiss with Dung Dan.
"You should move it down a little and just hit it on the ground Peeves. It would be really bad if the big dung egg is launched into Mr. Filch's mouth."
Out of sympathy for Filch, Lupine said to Peeves, "Jokes should be moderate."
Peeves, who was a little slow to react, only raised his head after Lupine spoke. Perhaps he was too focused on dealing with the tough-talking armor before. The armors in Hogwarts can move, and they have something to do with the portraits on the wall. Magical Artifacts, it was clear that the silent Mr. Armor did not wish to have a dung egg and dung egg launcher in his mouth.
"Lupin, you crazy idiot!" Peeves rubbed his eyes vigorously and suddenly sang a crooked song. He danced with his butt in mid-air, while singing weird lyrics that were out of tune, and he was talking to other professors. Peeves doesn't seem to be that polite to Lupine.
However, Lupine was not annoyed. He just looked at Peeves with a smile and said kindly: "Have you forgotten? The joke was too much back then. Professor Dumbledore put you in confinement for a month, with little handcuffs. The little dark room, Peeves, you can’t fly out.”
"That's Lord Peeves, I was caught by Dumbledore on purpose!" Peeves, who was suddenly furious, shouted in a high-pitched voice. His anger could be heard even without looking at it. "Otherwise, that little fart is just that guy! How could he possibly catch me, Lord Peeves!"
"Uncle Peeves wasn't even born when I was at Hogwarts!"
"How could I be afraid of him!"
Peeves, who felt that his voice was a little too loud, rolled his eyes and looked around. When he found that Dumbledore was not there, he stood up again.
"Lupine, crazy idiot!" Peeves once again sang in a strange tune, sticking his buttocks out and ignoring Lupin.
"It seems that the negotiation failed." Lupine shrugged, and then took out his wand, "Sometimes, too much of a joke can no longer be considered a joke. If someone is really unlucky enough to have a big feces egg stuffed in his mouth, it will take at least a month. I can’t even eat.”
However, Peeves didn't listen, and instead sang louder and louder.
Lupine sighed softly, then raised his wand.
"This is a very useful little spell." He turned to the class and said, "My friends and I invented it when we were at Hogwarts. It is very useful for Peeves."
Peeves, who had his back to Lupin, had no idea what was happening behind him. He kicked open the mask of the armor statue, held up the turd egg launcher that had not been installed with the turd egg, and stabbed it in hard. The armor made some creaking grunts, but unfortunately it couldn't move around like the portrait.
"Keep an eye on it." Lupine pointed the gun at Peeves and then pulled the trigger, "Wadi Wasi."
With a swish, the big dung egg placed on top of Peeves' armored head was launched like a cannonball. Even though Peeves quickly shook his head left and right to dodge, the big dung egg seemed to be equipped with precision guidance. The system is average, and it won't let go of Peeves.
The big dung egg the size of a ping pong ball is not big for a normal-sized person, but Peeves is just a little guy less than a foot tall. This big dung egg that is as big as his head makes Peeves horrified. Eyes making intimate contact with his lips.
Although Peeves does not need to eat, has no sense of taste or even smell, he will not have any special reaction to the dung egg, but this is the first time that this prankster who has spent many good times with him has interacted with him. produce such intimate contact.
"Ah bah bah bah!"
Peeves, who had a big piece of shit in his mouth, had obviously been stretched out of shape, but he could still make a normal sound. Peeves, who was opening his mouth and spitting shit, kept trying hard, but The opening of his mouth is too small, and he can only spit out a small amount of crumbs every time.
The little wizards were already laughing until they lost their breath. This was the first time they saw Peeves looking deflated.
"Peeves is a prankster. He may bring us helpless pranks at any time, but on the other hand, we can also joke with him, if we can."
"You're not actually angry, are you, Peeves?"
"Bah~Lu~Bah~Ping! Bah bah bah~"
Peeves, who was squealing at Lupin, expressed his anger to Lupine. However, he didn't make any big move, but there was a hint of unconvinced fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Isn't Peeves a ghost? How did he become an elf?" Harry asked curiously.
"Ghosts cannot touch real objects. No matter how special they are, they are not. Peeves is an elf, a real mischievous elf. The hat on his head was made by Mrs. Jingxing. It was his trophy. It was originally He showed off to us a lot, and that was a big deal."
"Then, bah!"
When he heard Lupine say good things about him, Peeves puffed up his cheeks and shouted, "Uncle Peeves, I beat the headmaster, that fat bitch, Eupracia Moore."
"It's just that Peeves can become invisible. Sometimes he looks like a ghost, coming and going without a trace."
Lupine shrugged, waving his hand to sweep away the dung egg residue scattered on the floor, and brushed Peeves' teeth by the way.
"Don't think I'm going to let you go like this, you idiot Lupin!"
The angry Peeves was flying over the crowd, his eyes turning around as if looking for the target who would be unlucky later.
"In other words, Peeves can actually be caught?"
"Of course, but it's difficult without magic."
"You're the only one who wants to catch me, Mr. Peeves?" Peeves smirked and cast his eyes on Harry, "Hehehehehe~ Then Mr. Peeves - Ouch!"
Harry jumped more than two meters high from the dry land and grabbed Peeves, who was talking nonsense in mid-air. Although Peeves had already flown away when Harry took off, as long as he could not teleport to Harry Beyond the arms span, there is no way to escape from Wuzhishan.
"Jiejiejiejie~"
"What were you laughing at just now?"
After hearing the devil-like laughter, the person who was flustered instantly reversed. Peeves, who had put on a flattering apologetic smile, pinched his nose with two fingers before he could say anything.
"Hey~ It can actually be stretched!"
'Pa~'
His nose, which was two feet long, retracted suddenly, causing him to shake his head and almost lose the hat on his head.
"Damn little devil!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
This is the first time that Peeves, who has fallen into incompetent rage, has truly fallen into human hands. However, as a mischievous elf that accompanies the existence of Hogwarts, he can survive even those ghosts. As long as Hogwarts exists for one day, he will survive. As long as he survives for a day, Peeves has nothing to fear.
He was not afraid of Harry, nor was he afraid of anyone. He was only afraid of Dumbledore because Dumbledore had the ability to lock him in a dark room. If he couldn't play pranks for a day, his heart would feel itchy like a cat scratching him. That feeling was too much. Feeling bad.
"Who wants to try it? Peeves feels very good when pinching it, and the QQ is bouncy."
"Which one of you dares! Uncle Peeves, I will never let you guys go -"
The little hat on his head was pulled down by Harry, and Peeves, whose whole head was covered in it, couldn't see it at all!
The eyes of the little wizards were flashing brightly at this moment. The students of Hogwarts have been bitter for a long time. This naughty guy often teased the students. The moment he was arrested, it was already foreshadowed. The impending outcome.
On the way to the practical classroom, Peeves, who was being teased by the little wizards, screamed angrily all the way, but most of the tricks were ineffective on Peeves, even if it was like scratching the soles of his feet with a quill, he There was no feeling at all, and after a while, the little wizards got a little tired of it. Playing tricks without feedback was a complete failure, and it was better to tease fools.
Although others disliked it, Harry did not.
"Don't be angry, Peeves. When get out of class is over, I will take you to do something fun. It will be interesting."
"real?"
Although he put on a stinky face and was planning how to give Harry a big job in his head, Peeves still had a very honest mouth.
"Don't even think about bribing Mr. Peeves, I won't do that!"
He angrily opened his mouth and chewed Harry's thumb, but it was so hard that he couldn't bite it at all.
"How could I lie to you, right? I promise, this must be a novel game you have never experienced before."
"Although there is no beautiful dealer dealing cards online, there is a muscular man to guide and teach, which is very exciting."
With that said, Harry didn't give Peeves a chance to refuse. He was tied up in a tight knot and put into his pocket, and he was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Under the leadership of Lupin, the little wizards came to a room filled with junk and old goods. There are many such rooms in Hogwarts. It was not because the elves were not diligent, but because Hogwarts was too busy. It's so big that the distance between two classrooms is more than two miles, and they are really busy.
The students looked curiously at this dilapidated and quiet house. Suddenly, a violent shaking sound came from a broken cabinet leaning against the wall. The startled students let out short screams, and many The timid students' legs were so weak that they almost sat down on the ground.
"Professor, there is a ghost here, isn't it?"
Neville's cry-like voice came out in a low voice, and the already tense atmosphere solidified at this moment.
"Yes." Lupine said, "It's a ghost that scares people."
The little wizards who were feeling terrified were crowded together, especially behind Harry, where there were layers of people.

Thank you Niu nonniu for the 100 points reward, and thank you good brothers for your support.
Although the new outline is not completely ready yet, I seem to have found a feeling, and writing is not as uncomfortable as it was in the past few days.
If nothing unexpected happens today, there should be two more chapters before twelve o'clock. I'll write them quickly after I get back from dinner.
