The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 289 This World is Never Fair
When leaving Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid's mood improved. Perhaps it was the name of the strongest tool man Newt Scamander that gave him confidence, or perhaps he was touched by the care of the upstart Ada and the mischievous twins.

In any case, only if Hagrid cheers up can he and Buckbeak deal with the Malfoy family's difficulties and the Ministry of Magic's prejudice against him.

Yes, it's the damn prejudice again. Although Hagrid's name has been cleared because the Chamber of Secrets was revealed to the world, and he is no longer a suspect in the murder of Myrtle, the Ministry of Magic still has prejudice against him.

Hagrid is not just a burly man, he is a half-giant. As for how Hagrid's father, Mr. Hagrid, married a female giant and had children, this question is too profound...

Although not many people know this, Hagrid's huge size really makes people think about it. It's rare for an ordinary person to grow to 7 feet, let alone to grow to more than 10 feet like Hagrid.

To give a more intuitive example, the tallest person Ida knew in her previous life was the Nymphomaniac, aka the Little Giant. The official height of the Nymphomaniac is 2m26, which is about 7.5 feet, which is about one Xiaoming shorter than Hagrid.

It's hard not to be suspicious of you with such a height! Even if you have been taking growth potions since birth, you can't grow as tall as Hagrid!
Ada also had doubts about Hagrid's height. If she hadn't had doubts, she would have gone to ask Hagrid long ago to find out what Hagrid had eaten when he was a child, whether he still had it, and whether she could have a portion.

Excluding the factor of height, giants are still very similar to humans, but their intelligence cannot catch up with humans. This is why many wizards are prejudiced against giants.

Many wizards looked down on centaurs, goblins, and house-elves, who were equally intelligent. How could they possibly look down on giants? Moreover, giants had no civilization at all, and lived in the mountains in a tribal way. In addition, they were cruel and brutal, eating raw meat and drinking blood. It would be strange for them to look down on them.

Fifty years ago, Hagrid was pinned the blame for Myrtle's murder without any discussion. Besides the fact that he did raise a giant acromantula, this prejudice was also a key factor.

Although no one died in this incident, the perpetrators were "still" Hagrid and his magical creatures, so it goes without saying where the Ministry of Magic will sit.

Moreover, Lucius Malfoy was behind this incident, so Hagrid could only put his hopes on Dumbledore and Newt Scamander.

Regardless of Hagrid's height or the Ministry of Magic's prejudice, Ada and the others' top priority is to attend class.

I don't know if it was intentional, but the two new professors' classes were scheduled on the same day. In the morning it was Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures, and in the afternoon it was Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, students habitually took out their textbooks, ready to read the texts aloud with emotion or perform a play. This was a habit they developed during Lockhart's tenure.

The reason why Dumbledore hired Lockhart in the first place, besides wanting to expose him, was more because he hoped that the students would learn something from him and establish better outlooks on life.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore's hope was completely wishful thinking, and most of the students failed to learn anything useful from Lockhart.

Collapse, the whole paragraph collapses. As a negative example, a failure case, Lockhart can be said to be very successful.

As long as the new professor is a normal person, he will be better than Lockhart. Moreover, Lupin showed his skill on the Hogwarts Express, and the spell that made the students feel powerful successfully drove away the Dementors.

"Ada, when can we learn the Patronus?" Angelina asked. She had been interested in the Patronus Charm since last school year, and this school year the twins also performed the Patronus Charm, which made Angelina even more jealous.

Angelina Johnson is not the only one who is ambitious. Aaliyah is also the same. She really wants to know what her patronus will look like.

The Patronus Charm is a very difficult spell, and many adult wizards cannot cast it, and the upper limit of this spell is also very high. Expelling Dementors and Voldemorts is only the basic function of the spell, and using the Patronus to transmit information is a special application of this spell.

Ida had not originally planned to teach the Dawn spell, which was so difficult. They were all in the fifth grade, and Katie and Lini were only in the fourth grade. But this year was a special case. A large group of Dementors surrounded Hogwarts, so this spell had to be put on the agenda. "Let's do it at the next gathering," Ida responded, "At least we can have one more way to deal with Dementors."

Angelina and Alia immediately hugged Ada. They were so enthusiastic that Ada realized that Europeans and Americans develop very fast...

The twins looked at the three girls hugging each other calmly. They looked like they had never seen the world before. It was just a Patronus Charm. Was it that difficult? Was it something amazing? They said it as if everyone couldn't do it!

In the classroom, students were talking to each other when Professor Lupin finally arrived. As soon as he walked into the classroom, the bell indicating the start of class rang.

Just right, not a bit off, he's a master at timing.

Lupin's clothes were still a little worn, but his complexion was much better than when he was on the train. His face was ruddy and shiny. Could it be that some oral liquid was added to the food at Hogwarts?

From the moment he gave her chocolate on the train, Ada knew that this new professor was better than Lockhart. Later, when she learned that Lupin had used the Patronus Charm to drive away the Dementors and saved the fainted Harry, Ada was even more certain that Lupin was not an ordinary person.

The layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the details. Hermione only knew that Lupin easily drove away the Dementors with the Patronus Charm, but Ada heard something different from their words.

Just using the Patronus that was similar to silver mist, he was able to drive away the Dementors so easily, which showed that Lupin was an expert, at least an expert in the Patronus Charm.

Ada didn't believe that a master of the Patronus Charm could only use "mist" to deal with Dementors. Lupin must have adopted this method because he didn't want to expose his Patronus or reveal some of his information.

Mature patronuses are usually in the form of ordinary animals, and the type of animal depends on the caster's personality and other personal information, such as Ada's Chow Chow and the twins' magpie.

Lupin is not the first wizard to protect his privacy by hiding the image of his patronus. There is nothing strange about this, but Ada is curious. She wants to know what secret Lupin is hiding?
Although Ada is not the eldest daughter of the Chitanda family and cannot just say "I'm curious" to make people rush to find out the truth, but who isn't a little princess?

Ada is also a very curious person, she can handle it herself. If she really can't do it, there are still two Weasley fools to help her!
Professor Lupin looked at the students in the classroom with a faint smile on his face. Lupin always exudes a faint bookish air, making people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze. He is indeed an elegant and easy-going person.

"Good afternoon, please put your textbooks back in your bags, we won't need them in this class." Although Lupin looked sick, his voice was warm.

Lupin sat casually at a table in the first row. He smiled and said, "I know you're worried. In fact, I was also very stressed when I first took over the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it well. But until I heard the story about my predecessor, I didn't feel any pressure at all."

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became cheerful, and Lockhart came out to whip the corpse, which immediately shortened the distance between Lupin and the students.

"And you can rest assured that I was not a writer before, and I have never won any awards from Witch Weekly." Lupin continued, "nor will I be in the future."

After repeated whipping, although he had not yet officially started the class, Lupin had already won the favor of the students. At this moment, Lupin looked less like their professor and more like their big friend.

"I quite like him!" Fred whispered, and George nodded in agreement.

Lupin raised his hand and made a downward motion. The classroom immediately became quiet. Everyone was waiting for him to see if he would make any more "shocking" remarks.

Ada saw only evil in Remus Lupin's elegant smile. Why did this new professor give her a sense of déjà vu?
