Chapter 683
Lupin didn't notice anything wrong.
He saw Darren indicate he was fine and smiled.
"Then, everyone follow me, pick up your wands... This class is a practical class."
Lupin's words aroused the interest of most people.
They hadn't had a practical class yet.
No, if you counted last year when Lockhart released a cage of pixies.
And couldn't handle them in the end, causing the whole class to almost collapse, then that could be considered a practical class.
They followed Lupin curiously.
And arrived at the staff room.
At the door of the staff room, they saw Peeves. Peeves was stuffing a piece of chewing gum into the keyhole. Peeves was the most annoying ghost in the school.
Last year, he even framed Darren for petrifying Justin.
Making Darren be treated as the Heir of Slytherin for quite a long time.
Although he didn't actually frame Darren wrong.
Peeves looked at Lupin triumphantly and began to sing loudly.
"Poor Lupin, Lupin who has nothing to eat..."
It shouted loudly.
All the students looked at Lupin.
Because Lupin did indeed look extremely poor and down-and-out.
The robes on his body were all tattered.
And his suitcase even had patches on it.
Many people were worried that Lupin would get angry.
After all, this was the first time Peeves had mocked a professor.
Usually, although he was annoying, he was still honest with professors.
Didn't expect he would dare to mock Lupin.
Didn't know how Lupin would handle it. However, as a little Saint Father.
Darren certainly couldn't just stand by.
He looked at Peeves and wore an indignant expression.
He seemed to want to say something else.
But before he could say it, Lupin had already raised his wand.
He smiled at the students and said, "Well, since Peeves is so insistent, I'll teach everyone an interesting spell today.
Waddiwasi, it's quite effective against ghosts... Waddiwasi!"
The chewing gum Peeves stuffed into the staff room keyhole was shot out, then smashed hard toward Peeves.
Peeves screamed repeatedly as he was hit, then he scrambled away.
The chewing gum behind him was still chasing him relentlessly.
It seemed it wouldn't stop until it killed that guy.
Darren curled his lip.
This Peeves didn't learn his lesson; did he think Lupin was a Saint Father like him? How could that be?
Even if Lupin was kind, he had hung out with James and Black back in the day.
Kind, but that didn't stop him from playing a few pranks.
Of course, perhaps it was also to establish authority.
Because of this move, the look in all the students' eyes toward Lupin had changed.
They were visibly worshipping him.
After all, finally having a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who could actually teach was truly surprising.
Even Darren wore an expression of admiration and happiness.
Although, there were still traces of worry on his face; clearly, he was still a bit worried about Peeves.
"Oh, Darren, don't worry, that piece of chewing gum will chase Peeves all the way to Mr. Filch, Peeves deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Lupin looked at Darren and said quickly.
Seeming to worry that Darren would misunderstand.
Darren smiled embarrassedly.
This made Lupin blush completely.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something else.
But when he was about to open his mouth, he remembered they were in class, so he quickly closed his mouth.
He turned around and opened the staff room door with his wand.
"We will be having class in here..."
Lupin's words stopped.
Because Snape was sitting inside.
After seeing Lupin enter, he seemed to think of something, and his face looked extremely ugly.
"Lupin, why did you come in?"
"Sorry, I intend to have class with the children in here, so, Professor Snape, sorry to trouble you."
Lupin said politely.
Snape seemed offended.
Darren saw his lips move, and he seemed to have cursed something viciously.
But Snape wasn't that easy to dismiss either.
He turned his gaze around all the students behind Lupin.
His gaze paused on Darren for a moment, then quickly moved to Harry.
"Lupin, perhaps I have to tell you a regrettable fact.
If you are going to do any practical activities, you must not let Harry Potter experiment; after all, he is the famous Savior!"
Harry was almost driven to death by anger.
Snape really didn't intend to let him off at any time.
Truly too excessive!
Fortunately, Lupin was on his side.
"Oh, Severus, I don't think so; I have also learned some things over the past two years.
I know Harry is a very excellent student, and he has even protected Hogwarts twice!"
"He protected Hogwarts? Lupin, you'd better get it straight, who exactly protected Hogwarts, and who is always causing trouble for others!"
Snape was almost leaning close to Lupin.
Darren also noticed that Snape said something in Lupin's ear, and Lupin's face turned ugly.
This made Snape extremely happy.
"Hahaha, since it's settled, then I'll be leaving!"
Snape walked toward the outside of the staff room, then he passed Malfoy.
He suddenly turned to Malfoy, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Malfoy, come to my office after class, detention..."
Perhaps Snape saw Harry's stubborn, gloating expression, so Snape said again: "Perhaps you can discuss with me how to make Potter more controllable; that might save the Headmaster some trouble!"
Harry was almost about to explode and hurt someone.
Snape then left with a hum and a laugh.
"Alright, since that's the case... you all move forward a bit..."
Lupin's face slowly improved after seeing Snape leave, and he smiled as he said this. Darren and the others walked forward a few steps.
Then they saw the cabinet behind Lupin rattling.
Darren immediately frowned and became vigilant.
He gripped his wand in his hand, looking extremely serious.
