Chapter 16： Black Demon Substitute

When Xie Lin opened his eyes, the sky was still bright. It was estimated that it was between four and five in the morning. Most of the students in the auditorium were still in deep sleep. It seems that the night talk last night was really good. It consumes a lot of their energy.

Daphne was lying on his side, holding his left arm tightly with both hands, her delicate face pressed against his chest, and the heat from his mouth and nose sprayed on his left ribs, making him a little itchy. feel. The satin-like blond hair covered his chest, and a few mischievously tried to get into his nostrils, making his nose urge to sneeze.

On his right side, Meredith occupied his right arm and fell asleep peacefully. Upon closer inspection, the tsundere little girl of the past has gradually revealed her peerless demeanor, with delicate eyebrows and a touch of charm in her heroic spirit.

Both girls are excellent life partners, if you get one of them, it is the blessing of the previous life. Schelling thought that he could hug the left and the right and enjoy the blessings of all people. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He felt that he had finally lived up to the opportunity of God to let himself live again, and suddenly showed a happy smile.

He heard someone walking in the auditorium, and Dumbledore was talking not far away. It must be because he was not worried about the safety here, and came in again in the early morning to inspect. Seeing Dumbledore walking towards Percy, Schelling quickly released himself an "Ears and Eyes Curse". This spell is one of Lestrange's family curses, which can enhance the sensitivity of the senses. Lestrange's spells are generally related to the five senses and six senses, which may be related to the torturous spells of their clan.

"How about here, Percy?" Dumbledore said softly.

"Very well, sir, everything is under control." Percy's voice was slightly sharper, obviously excited to be able to report directly to the principal. "From last night to now, nothing happened."

"Very good, thank you very much." Dumbledore should be nodding to Percy. "Severus?"

A footstep came hurriedly, the robe brought the sound of wind, and there was a slight spicy smell in the blowing air flow. Schelling recognized that this was the smell of the slicing of aconitum chamaejasme. Then this person should be Professor Snape.

"Principal, I have searched the entire fourth floor, and he is not there. Filch also visited the underground classroom and did not find him either." Snape's voice was exhausted, presumably because of the search all night. .

"Very good, but what about the Astronomical Tower? Professor Trelawney's room? Owl shed? Flying broom shed? Have these places been checked? Has Hagrid contacted his friends to look up the Forbidden Forest?" Dumbledore said. It's not big, and obviously doesn't want to wake up the sleeping students.

"I checked it all, he is not there."

"Very well, I always thought he wouldn't let him go." Dumbledore's voice clearly began to bring relief.

"Then the principal, do you have any opinion on how he got into the school?" Snape's voice was filled with anger.

"There are many possibilities, Severus. They are not the same, but I think what you think is absolutely wrong." Dumbledore's voice was extremely serious.

"Remember our conversation—headmaster—" Snape's voice lowered, and Schelling had to concentrate on it to make the distinction. "I raised objections to your appointment at the beginning of school—"

"Well, Severus!" Dumbledore interrupted him.

"But, without internal help, he can't get into Hogwarts..." Snape still seemed to insist on expressing his views.

"Okay, Severus. I don't think anyone in the castle will help him come into the school. That's it, I'm going to find the Dementor first." Dumbledore raised his voice slightly.

Then the voice fell silent. It seemed that Snape had also left. Only Percy was still patrolling there. It was because of his good spirits.

When the professors announced that the search was completed and Blake had left the castle, the three girls thought of Schelling's inference last night, and the look in Schelling's eyes became very strange.

In this regard, Dumbledore did not feel disappointed—he just made sure that the intruder did not stay in the school, which was already very good. Eliminating the danger hidden in the school is the most important thing right now. .

In the next few days, everyone in the school talked about rumors about Black. The story about how he entered the castle became more and more mysterious-Hannah Abbot of Hufflepuff heard that Blake could be transformed into a flowering shrub!

In addition to the increasingly mysterious rumors, many things have changed in the castle.

For example, the damaged portrait of the Fat Lady has been taken from the wall, replaced by the portrait of the heavily armed Sir Cadogan and his fat gray pony.

The little lions of Gryffindor are very upset about this, and Sir Cadogan spends half of his time choosing people to fight him. The other half of the time was spent thinking about ridiculously complicated passwords, and he had to change passwords at least twice a day. This made Neville's poor memory annoyed, so he had to record all his passwords on a small piece of paper to avoid the embarrassment of being unable to enter the lounge.

For another example, Harry is now under close surveillance. The professors walked with him in the corridor for all kinds of reasons and excuses; Percy followed him everywhere, like a guard dog with extremely high spirits.

Of course, none of these things have much to do with Schelling.

Since the patron saint mantra exchange meeting, Schelling’s popularity has reached a new level again.

Many Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students have a good impression of this superb but approachable junior. Schelling walks in the corridor and can always meet students from these two colleges and greet him enthusiastically and actively. , And even the whole Slytherin Academy didn't seem so annoying anymore—Slytherin's little wizards began to interact with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's classmates friendly.

There is another thing that also makes Schelling popular.

"Me and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" written by Schelling was successfully published at the end of September, and within one month it climbed to the top of the sales charts for wizard novels, earning Schelling a considerable amount of money. Apart from Jin Jialong, Xie Lin added a lot of fame, which can be described as fame and fortune.

Although many people know about Schelling’s killing of the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets last year, they don’t know the details, let alone the danger. Only after reading this novel, did they know that Schelling was able to use a 2 What a great thing to kill the basilisk in the secret room as a grade student.

Under a lot of verbal publicity by the students, the content of "Me and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" became the hottest topic in the school, even overshadowing the topic of Sirius—everyone was worried that they would not be able to integrate into this topic. One after another mail-ordered the book from Diagon Alley, so that Hogwarts had almost one copy.

On Friday, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the students were surprised to find that Professor Lupin was absent due to illness, and Professor Snape would teach on his behalf during the period.

The students were in a big uproar—this is probably the first time everyone has heard that a professor is absent from class due to illness. The medical room where Ms. Pomfrey sits has always been known for its strength, and there are few incurable diseases. There are even rumors that the level of the medical room is not below the St. Mungo Hospital. As an outstanding adult wizard, professors rarely have such diseases. According to the memories of students who had only been to the school's medical room yesterday, Professor Lu Ping was not there.

"What happened to Professor Lupin?" Dean Thomas asked anxiously.

"Maybe I should teach you how to respect the professor, Mr. Thomas." There was that chilling smile on Snape's face. "I'm not Professor Lupin, I don't have such a good personality. Gryffindor deducts 10 points for disrupting the classroom order and disrespecting the professor."

"I'm sorry, Professor." Hermione reacted. "I'm sorry, we are just worried about Professor Lupin's condition."

"There is no life-threatening..." He said slowly, but his tone was so cold that it seemed to be able to form ice blocks out of thin air. "Now back to your class, Professor Lu Ping has not left any records about what you have learned..."

"Sorry, sir, we learned Bogut, Red Hat, Kabbah, and Grindillo (Grindillo learned it after Halloween, just a few days ago)," Hermione said quickly, "We are about to start learning— "

"Quiet," Snape said coldly, "I didn't ask any questions. I just criticized Professor Lupin's teaching for lack of discipline."

"But he is the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher we have ever met!" Seamus Finnigan said loudly. He admired Professor Lu Ping's daily strength and was a hard-core supporter of Professor Lu Ping.

"It's just what you've seen, Mr. Finnigan." Snape still couldn't see the emotions or anger on his face. "You are too easy to be satisfied. You know, I always think that dealing with Red Hat and Grindillo is at the level of first-year students. Okay, what we are going to talk about today is—" He opened the textbook, looked it up for a long time, and then Spit out two words gently: "Werewolf!"

"Sorry, Professor." Hermione stood up again, "According to the schedule, we should learn Shinkpunk."

"Miss Granger, are you a teacher? Or am I?" Snape tightened his thin lips. "I'm talking to all of you!" He stared at the whole class fiercely.

"Well, who can tell me the difference between a real wolf and a werewolf?" Snape asked, a strange light flowing in his eyes.

Everyone sat motionless and silent, except for Hermione, who suddenly raised her hands high as usual.

"Could it be—" Snape's voice began to sneer, "Professor Lupin hasn't told the third grade students about the difference between the two?"

"We told you," Parvati said suddenly, "We haven't learned the werewolf chapter yet, we're still learning—"

"Quiet!" Snape said in a nasty voice, "Yes, I didn't expect that I would meet a class of third graders who could not recognize werewolves. I must tell Professor Dumbledore how backward you are..."

"Please, sir," said Hermione, still holding her hands high, "there are a few small differences between a werewolf and a real wolf. The snout of a werewolf—"

"This is the second time you have spoken without permission, Miss Granger." Snape said coldly, "Gryffindor deducts another five points because of an intolerable jack-of-all-trades."

Then, he turned his head and said: "Xie Lin, come on!"

To be fair, Schelling felt that Snape was actually responsible, although the lion cubs are also quite innocent—how to distinguish the werewolf is actually a first-year course, but it’s a pity that such an important lesson was ruined by Quirrell. Quirrell stammered and explained that most of the little wizards must have been wandering away from the sky, except for extremely studious students like Hermione.

Xie Lin first took the silver tooth out of his pocket, and then transformed the table into an immovable werewolf. He made the two stand side by side while pointing at the subtle differences between the two. UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com explained in detail.

Schelling’s commentary is lively and interesting. Even the little lions in Gryffindor listened very attentively. Even Hermione had to have a heart of admiration. If she had just changed her to explain, how could she not be able to do Schelling? This is so good.

Snape didn't expect Schelling to come out like this, but it was exactly what he wanted, so he gave Slytherin fifteen points. This time the extra points did not make the little lions discouraged. After all, Schelling’s commentary did make them understand—Ron complained about a few words of “grand sensation”, but no one wanted to pay attention to him, which made him feel very conscious. Boring.

Before get out of class, Snape gave a homework on werewolves—a paper on how to recognize werewolves and kill werewolves, at least two pieces of parchment.

Just as the students complained about their homework, the first Quidditch competition of this semester will kick off the next day.

Originally, Slytherin was playing against Gryffindor in the opening game, but Slytherin’s captain Marcus Flint didn’t want to play against Gryffindor in the bad weather, so he found an excuse to fight against Gryffindor. Patch reversed the order of the game-changing the game to Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff, which made Gryffindor furious, and even Hufflepuff was quite dissatisfied with Slytherin's approach.

Hufflepuff’s new Quidditch captain Cedric complained to Schelling more than once. This wave of Flint's operation really filled Slytherin with a wave of hatred, which was enough to offset the goodwill that Schelling had worked so hard for for Slytherin.

Schelling didn’t take it seriously. Flint was a pure-blooded die-hard. He and Schelling had conflicts of ideas. Schelling also understood that sooner or later there would be a dispute between them, so he acted to death against Flint this time. Choose to sit on the sidelines.
