The first Quidditch match was approaching, but something strange had happened at Hogwarts – Professor Lupin had always been on sick leave on certain days in recent months, and some said he was sick.

And in a Defense Against the Dark Arts class before the game, the young wizards were surprised to find that it was not the popular Professor Lupin who appeared in front of them, but the annoying Severus Snape.

Snape sneered and told them that Professor Lupin was sick, so he would substitute for the lesson.

This disappointed the little wizards, but what surprised them even more was that Snape ignored their original teaching order and set the content of the study as werewolves.

The little wizards were talking about it, and Hermione couldn’t contain her dissatisfaction.

“But, sir,” Hermione said loudly, standing up, “we shouldn’t have learned werewolves yet, we just learned Red Hat, Kaba and Grindillo, in order, Hinkpunk next…”

Then Ravenclaw deducted five points for it.

In the following lesson, Snape began to ask the young wizards how to distinguish werewolves and how to kill them, with undisguised malice in his tone.

In the classroom after that, no one made any sound. Everyone sat and took notes about werewolves according to textbooks, while Snape walked back and forth between desks, checking what they had done while Professor Lupin was teaching and criticizing Lupin’s lessons.

“Poorly explained, this is not true, Kaba is more in Mongolia, Professor Lupin said eight out of ten? I said less than three-tenths…”

The bell finally rang, and Snape didn’t let them go.

“Each of you write a paper and give it to me on ways to identify and kill werewolves. For this topic, two pieces of parchment should be written and turned in on Monday morning. Someone should be in charge of this class. Weasley, stay and don’t go, we’re going to arrange something about your late school.” ”

In fact, it wasn’t until the next day that it was known that Snape taught the same knowledge and assigned the same homework in almost all grades of Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

If anyone pays a little attention, they will see that Professor Snape’s behavior has a certain meaning, and he is hinting at something.

But most young wizards are just struggling to put together two pieces of parchment.

However, there are always smart people who can see the intention behind this.

For example, the one in front of Ye Ting, holding a large handful of homework, with a tired Miss Hermione Granger in his eyes.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?” She pretended to be mysterious and asked Ye Ting, “The homework assigned by Snape.” ”

“What?” Ye Ting rolled his eyes, “Strange what? I wasn’t saying you, Hermione, that you should rest for a few days, and you look like you haven’t slept in days. ”

“Oh! Leave this alone. Hermione raised her eyebrows and said a little angrily, “I’m talking about Snape’s Defense Against the Dark Arts class and homework!” ”

“Okay, okay,” Ye Ting shrugged helplessly, “You know, I never cared about what the professor said in class, anyway, I can neither listen nor write homework. Let me think about it, I remember he said something like… It’s a werewolf, right? ”

“That’s right, werewolves.” Hermione was a little excited, and said urgently, “You know what? I noticed that Professor Lupin had a certain pattern of taking sick leave every month – it was around the fifteenth, and I didn’t notice this until after this Defense Against the Dark Arts class, guess what came to mind? ”

“Professor Lupin actually takes a leave of absence on a full moon, right?”

“Yes, and I also thought about the first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson he gave us.” Hermione’s eyes sparkled with a strange light, “I remember him introducing us to Boggart. When facing Professor Lupin, the boggart turned into a white ball, which impressed me, at the time I thought it was a crystal ball or something, but now it seems that the white ball is…”

“Full moon!” Ye Ting said lightly, “You mean, Professor Lupin is a werewolf. ”

“Ah, I didn’t expect you to already know.” Hermione’s eyes widened, “I thought…”

“Actually, what you know is exactly what Professor Snape wants to tell you.” Ye Ting shook his head, “Professor Snape has been hinting at this, hasn’t he? ”

“So it is!” Hermione looked shocked, and the thought that her great discovery actually came from the hint of her most hated professor, Hermione felt a little lost.

“Hmph, that’s normal, Snape and Lupin’s feud has been going on since they were students, but he probably overestimated the average intelligence of the little wizards at Hogwarts, because even if he hinted so obviously, only you could guess the answer.”

“Hate?” Hermione looked at Ye Ting with interest, “They used to be classmates? Do you still know this? ”

“Of course,” Thunder pouted, “Lupin, Sirius, Potter’s father, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew were four good friends when they were students, calling themselves ‘Marauders’, and they used to bully Snape when they were students. But ever since Sirius betrayed the others, killed Peter Pettigrew, and led to James Potter’s killing by Voldemort, the Marauders have ceased to exist. ”

These secrets made Hermione ponder for a while.

“But why did Dumbledore hire Lupin?” Hermione looked puzzled, “You know, we have almost no ability to resist when facing a violent werewolf, if a little wizard is bitten by a werewolf, it will be permanently transformed into a werewolf, how dare Dumbledore take this risk?” ”

“What do you think?” Ye Ting looked into Hermione’s eyes and asked, “Why did Dumbledore dare to take this risk?” ”

Hermione thought for a moment and finally gave the answer.

“Wolf poison potion,” she said in a categorical tone, “Snape made Wolf Poison potion for Lupin, right? ”

“Ugh. It’s really a ‘jack of all trades’,” Ye Ting nodded in satisfaction, “but not exactly, in fact, when Professor Snape couldn’t keep busy, I also helped a little, so if you visit Professor Lupin in these two days, you will find a werewolf meek like a puppy.” ”

Hermione finally got a satisfactory answer, she hurriedly prepared to leave, before leaving, Ye Ting reminded her as usual, “I think, you look too tired, seriously, the time turner is a burden for you, you chose too many unnecessary classes.” ”

In the face of Ye Ting’s persuasion, Hermione was perfunctory several times before, but today, she was uncharacteristically silent for a long time, and then replied in a low voice: “What you said makes a little sense, but I still want to insist on it.” ”

“Okay.” Ye Ting sighed, “If you have a problem, come to me quickly, don’t support yourself.” ”

“I will.”

In fact, Ye Ting was right, Noda’s Hogwarts, except Hermione Granger, there was no small wizard who could see Professor Snape’s hint, and Ye Ting felt that such a hint was already quite obvious.

Is it really an IQ problem?
