Dudley walked up to the podium and stood where Professor Lupin usually stood.
"Professor Lu Ping is feeling a little unwell today. I will temporarily take over this class."
It's Professor Lupine's monthly date.
He is a werewolf. He always feels uncomfortable for a few days every month. He will transform involuntarily. After the transformation, the werewolf will lose his mind. This is the time when most werewolves hate it the most. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with this situation. , such as taking wolfsbane potion.
There are currently two wizards in Hogwarts who can brew wolfsbane potion. One is Potions Master Snape, and the other is his most proud disciple Dursley.
So Dudley naturally took his place as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
The little wizards had absolutely no problem with Dursley being the substitute teacher. He had fully demonstrated his abilities as early as the first year.
Even many little wizards were faintly excited.
Just as the little wizard in the classroom was cheering, another figure appeared at the door of the classroom.
"Quiet. Five points from Gryffindor."
It's the familiar tone again, the familiar points deduction, and the familiar Gryffindor special deduction.
Snape walked in with a very ugly look on his face. According to normal logic, Lupine's best choice for a substitute teacher should be him.
However, Dudley was chosen as the substitute teacher.
Snape, as Dudley's assistant, assisted in completing this Defense Against the Dark Arts course.
Originally he could have just rolled up his sleeves and ignored it, but when he thought it was Dudley who was in class, he decided to come over and take a look.
'I'm not here specifically for Dursley, I just don't want him to embarrass me. ’ Snape explained.
Dudley flipped through the booklet Professor Lupine gave him, which contained the content of the courses he had arranged: "You have already learned Boggart, Red Hat, Cabba and Grindylow, so the content of this lesson is"
"I have a suggestion." Snape interrupted, with undisguised malice on his face: "I think we should learn how to deal with werewolves, what do you think? Mr. Dursley."
Of course Dudley knew why Snape chose to be a werewolf.
"Professor Snape, I have no objection." Dudley nodded in agreement.
As the most common black magic creature in the wizarding world, the werewolf is also the most widely spread and most harmful black magic creature. Young wizards will have to face it sooner or later in the days to come. Isn't it a matter of learning early and learning late?
And Dudley just wanted to do an experiment.
"Professor Lu Ping usually takes practical classes, so being a substitute teacher is no exception."
"I heard that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, so I'll catch one and come over."
As soon as he said this, not only the young wizards but also Snape looked at him in astonishment, his eyes seemed to say something.
'Are you serious? '
Snape means just learn theoretical knowledge.
But Dudley didn't think so. After all, it was his first public class, and it might be his last. In any case, he couldn't get past it so easily.
"Then please first ask Professor Snape to briefly tell you about werewolves. Give me an hour. I will be back soon."
The words "vigorous and resolute" ran through Dudley's words, leaving no time for Snape to refuse. By the time he reacted, Dudley had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The wind, wind, fire and fire were in a trance.
'It's not a full moon night, it's useless even if you catch him.' Snape didn't have time to say this.
In the classroom, Snape looked at the little wizards, and the little wizards looked at Snape.
Big eyes stared at small eyes.
Snape was Snape after all, and he quickly reacted: "Now turn the textbook to page 394."
This page was about werewolves in the textbook, and Snape remembered it by heart.
There were werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. This was something Dudley had known for a long time. However, the Forbidden Forest was so large that it was harder to find a werewolf than a fire dragon.
But recently, he discovered traces of this werewolf through a certain fire dragon.
To outsiders, the Forbidden Forest seemed terrifying and abnormal, but in Dudley's eyes, it was no different from the back garden. One hour was already more than expected.
A giant snake made of mud was scuttling through the forbidden forest at an extremely fast speed.
Dudley couldn't fly, so this was the fastest way to get around.
You must know that magical creatures, like ordinary creatures, have a sense of territory. This awareness is even stronger than that of ordinary animals. This kind of rampant behavior will undoubtedly cause great commotion. However, the magical creatures that sense this aura, Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, they hide far away in the first place.
Because they know that person is coming.
The thousand-year-old basilisk on the ridge is his mount, and the fire dragon and unicorn on the other side are his pets.
Last year's slap that killed half of the eight-eyed spiders in the depression was still fresh in my mind. That unrivaled power taught the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest a lesson.
They are magical creatures and have little intelligence, but that doesn't mean they are fools.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend
As a result, Dudley had a smooth journey, which made him a little regretful. He had planned to catch a few magical creatures along the way.
The Forbidden Forest Bully patrols the mountains online.
Soon he arrived at his destination, a mountain nest.
"These are werewolves. Among dark creatures, they are also the most harmful creatures to wizards."
Snape himself is not suitable for reading from the script, but his unique tone combined with his temperament can scare little wizards to tears just standing there. In his narration, werewolves are described as very terrifying creatures that like to kill. Blood, who takes pleasure in torturing people, is a hundred times more evil than the group of dementors outside.
Many young wizards couldn't help but feel disgusted with werewolves after hearing this.
"So now can anyone tell me the difference between a werewolf and a wolf?"
As expected, Hermione was the first to raise her hand.
"Miss Granger, please answer."
Seeing the reactions of the young wizards, Snape was in a much better mood.
"They have slightly shorter snouts and smaller pupils. They look closer to humans. They can sometimes walk upright and have tufts of hair on their tails. Most importantly, they are more aggressive towards humans than real wolves."
"That's right." Snape nodded with great satisfaction: "They are more aggressive to people than real wolves, so remember. They are very dangerous."
"A perfect answer, plus ten points for the discipline team."
Snape will not give extra points to Gryffindor, but he will give extra points to the disciplinary team, and each extra point will start from five points.
Hermione was talking about the general impression of werewolves in the wizarding world. Because some werewolves attack indiscriminately, their reputation is much worse than that of vampires who appeared in the same era.
Vampires and banshees are classified as human beings and can live normally with wizards. Werewolves are also treated specially.
"So."
Just when Snape was about to continue teaching, the door to the classroom was pushed open.
"Sorry, Professor Snape, classmates, I'm late."
