Lupin's Favoritism

Today is the first Defense Against the Dark Arts for third graders, and everyone is eagerly waiting in the classroom for the new professor to arrive.

According to some Little Wizard from other years who have already taken Defense Against the Dark Arts, the new Professor Lupin's lessons are quite interesting.

It's much more interesting than at least Quirrell and Lockhart.

Oh, by the way, Lockhart reportedly had an upset stomach and ended up in the hospital at the end of last school year.

The Little Wizard all suspected that Snape had poisoned Lockhart.

After all, anyone with eyes could see Snape's disgust for Lockhart.

Bell only learned a little about Lockhart and then stopped paying attention to it.

As long as the other party can still write novels that his mother likes, Bell doesn't care whether Lockhart is alive or dead.

(Ghosts can be the subject of novels, so Lockhart's death doesn't really matter.)

Bell didn't seem to care much about Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After all, the textbooks are right there. Bell had already taught himself everything in them.

So, as long as Lupin doesn't come with a biological weapon like Quirrell, or flirt with his girlfriend like Lockhart, Bell doesn't care.

Led by Lupin, the group left the classroom and went to the spacious Teacher's Lounge. Lupin had prepared a Boggart there to assist with the lessons.

Boggart is a Dark Magic Creatures. It can sense people's deepest fears and Transfiguration accordingly.

To be honest, Bell was somewhat surprised when he learned that the lesson was about how to deal with Boggart.

While Boggart are not uncommon, they are among the few Dark Magic Creatures that Bell has never encountered before.

After all, Bell's identity is somewhat special. He certainly doesn't want others to know what his greatest fear is.

What if it gets sliced?

After mastering the Occlumency, Dark Magic Creatures like the Boggart, despite their unique abilities, were no longer a threat to Bell.

Therefore, he would never bother to get Boggart just for fun.

The lesson went very smoothly. It must be said, Lupin really knows how to engage the Little Wizard ' emotions.

However, as he watched, Bell realized something was off.

Why are all the names Lupin calls out from Gryffindor House?

Okay, it seems we can confirm it now: Lupin is from Gryffindor House.

Glancing at the Little Eagle following along, laughing foolishly, Bell couldn't help but feel worried about the wizards' education once again.

Didn't anyone realize something was wrong? That's such a lack of competitive spirit!

"Neville, come here and take it down!"

After several Gryffindor Little Lions had experienced the thrill of teasing Boggart, Lupin once again called out Neville's name.

"!?"

Bell can no longer pretend he didn't notice anything.

As for his fellow students from Ravenclaw, Bell knew them, but they were only nodding acquaintances. Since they themselves had no objections, Bell naturally wouldn't interfere.

But you should know that even Hermione hasn't played it yet!

We're all Gryffindor, so why did Lupin let Neville play twice, but not Hermione even once?

Bell, feeling that his own people were being targeted, couldn't stand this injustice!

"Etc!"

Bell shouted, drawing everyone's attention.

Just in case, while shouting, Bell also cast Full Body Binding Spell on Neville to prevent the chubby boy from slipping and running in front of Boggart.

Everyone looked curiously at Bell, who was standing in the corner, wondering what he was up to.

At this moment, Hermione suddenly realized that while she was engrossed in Professor Lupin's engaging lecture, Bell had somehow sneaked off to a corner to slack off!

"Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Menethil?"

Lupin still has a deep impression of Bell.

It's only now that Lupin has suddenly realized that Bell was in this class? Why hadn't he noticed before?

He had always assumed that Bell was a sixth or seventh grader.

"Professor, so many people haven't even played... cough cough, haven't even faced Boggart yet. It's not quite right for you to just let Neville take down that Boggart like this, is it?"

As he spoke, Bell glanced at Neville, which nearly gave the chubby boy a heart attack.

If Neville hadn't been immobilized by the Binding Spell, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Bell always found it strange that Neville was so afraid of him, as if he were some kind of evil being.

"That was indeed my oversight."

Lupin glanced apologetically at the students around him, especially the Ravenclaw students.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so talented. This Boggart is already very weak and can't withstand any more of the Riddikulus."

"I don't believe you for a second!"

Since this Boggart is already doomed, why doesn't Lupin let Little Wizard who hasn't experienced it yet end it? For example, Hermione.

Why would they send Neville has already done it once?

It's no wonder they're all Dumbledore's students; their careless style is practically a direct descendant of each other.

Bell took out his Wand and pressed it against his forehead.

After about two or three seconds, a wisp of milky white, flocculent gas was extracted from Bell's brain.

This is a fabricated memory he created, filled with fear.

With a flick of his Wand, Bell flung the wisp of gas into Boggart's body.

The cockroach-shaped Boggart roared, and its body expanded at a visible speed, eventually becoming a Troll nearly 5 meters tall.

"Roar~!"

The Troll roared in the direction Bell was.

The Little Wizard screamed and fled from the Troll Boggart in his Transfiguration. In that instant, all the Riddikulus Lupin had taught Little Wizard were instantly forgotten. Instinctive fear dominated their thoughts.

"Shut up!"

Rubbing his ears, Bell snapped at them unhappily.

He somewhat regretted targeting the Troll with his fear. Mainly, he hadn't expected that Boggart's Transfiguration would even perfectly recreate the Troll's stench!

This is a disaster!

Bell's reprimand brought the ' Troll's' roar to an abrupt halt, like a rooster being choked, which inexplicably made people feel somewhat sorry for it.

"How did you do that? I mean, how did you restore Boggart?"

More than just a recovery, Lupin looked at the "Troll" on the field that even he felt a sense of oppression from, and he had never seen Boggart so energetic!

Lupin realized that he might have underestimated this brat named Menethil.
