HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Miss, please give me your orders. Dobby will do his best to complete them!"

"Your house elves may have different ways of communicating with each other, so I want you to help me find a female elf named Winky." Reina instructed.

Winky is the elf who has always taken care of little Barty. If little Barty escapes, Winky must have helped him. If Barty wants to avoid being hunted down, he will definitely take Winky with him. Even if he buys a second-hand wand in Knockturn Alley, he will not abandon Winky. Whether in terms of emotion or the practicality of elf magic, Winky is a very crucial elf.

"Do you need Dobby to bring back the female elf named Winky?" Dobby held a Galleon in one hand.

"No, you just need to keep an eye on her, including her master Barty Crouch II. And I hope you won't be discovered by anyone, not even Winky. Although she may be a very kind elf, the people and environment around her can pose a great threat to your life, so if there is any danger, return to me immediately."

Elves can often do things that many wizards cannot do, and they possess magic that wizards have not yet understood. As for Dobby, who advocates freedom, he will not be as stubborn as ordinary house-elves. He will be more flexible in his actions, and he and Winky will have a bond.

"Dobby knows. Dobby will go find the female elf named Winky and keep an eye on her secretly."

With a snap of his fingers, Dobby also began his action.

"OK, it's time to deal with that thing." Reina flexed her fingers and walked out of the dormitory.

"I thought you would leave the Ravenclaw Diadem to Potter." Snape raised his eyes and looked at Rena who was digging into his cauldron as soon as she came.

"With Potter being an emotional guy who feeds on arrogance, he will soon abandon his brain and grow into a headless bee drowning in the honey pot." Snape wiped his hands and walked to the crucible, and the black figure enveloped Rena.

"It's not that serious?" Lena couldn't help laughing.

"Don't touch those things anymore. Throw Potter in there and let him deal with it. I haven't forgotten that some people were stupid enough to overdraw their magic power and collapse in the Room of Requirement, leaving her old professor waiting in the cold for more than two hours in the cold night. Do you need me to help you recall it?" Snape's tone was strange, and he stared down at Rena.

"It's just that my magic power is overdrawn..." Reina was about to argue, but she shut her mouth when she saw the rejection written on Snape's face.

"Just? Could it be that you really forgot that you used the Killing Curse?" Snape's face darkened even more.

"Well~ After all, there are still some personal emotions involved... I overestimated my magic power in order to vent my anger."

"Listen, Hermalena, you can't use that kind of curse anymore, it will--"

"That will have an impact on my soul, of course I know that, Sev." Lena took out the bottle of basilisk venom from the pocket of her school robe and shook it in front of Snape.

"By the way, I often see Harry in the Dueling Club. Although his Potions class is very bad, his Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes are both 'O's, so there is no need to worry about that."

"Dumbledore has asked Lupin to give him extra lessons many times. You're the only one who's worried." Snape turned and walked away.

"That's good, at least he didn't come to ask you for help, otherwise I would be jealous."

"Jealous that he will be kicked out by me? He won't have that chance. Anyway, you just need to tell Potter the location."

"so be it."

?

Lupin took a long vacation. In the first few weeks, Lupin would come back to teach a few classes, but he basically stopped coming after that. Snape usually took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, so Snape's teaching work doubled.

But since when, there was a new person in Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Well, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Seth Green, who was sent by Headmaster Dumbledore to attend the class. Perhaps he will stay in Hogwarts to teach in the future."

Mr. Green was a man of some age, with some gray in his shoulder-length gray-brown hair. Although his face had many wrinkles, he had no beard and looked very clean. There were two long chains hanging from his gold-rimmed glasses, and he was holding a cane in his hand, looking very gentlemanly.

After briefly introducing Green after class, Snape left immediately. There was still some time left before the end of the get out of class, which was obviously time Snape left for Green.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Green applying for a professor position at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked, raising her hand.

"Yes, Miss, to be precise, I have passed the application. I plan to meet you in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in September, which is the new semester after everyone goes to school. However, I heard that Professor Lupin of your school has asked for a long vacation for some reasons, so Headmaster Dumbledore hopes that I can come in advance to adapt."

Green's voice was very light, and his smile made people feel that if he became their professor, he would definitely not assign so much homework.

"So, we finally don't need Snape to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class anymore?" Ron asked in surprise, causing cheers and discussions from the Gryffindor students.

"That may disappoint you, because I am not teaching this semester." Green said, interrupting the cheers.

"what?"

"Because the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook has frequent changes in teachers, students also need to adapt to the teachers, so the rest of the content this semester will be handed over to Professor Snape."

"Ah——" Many students sighed and fell down on one side of the classroom, while on the other side, the Slytherin students held their heads high with pride. At least this Green was quite sensible.

After class, crowds of students filled the corridors.

"Harry, why did Professor Lupin take such a long leave? What happened?" Hermione asked Harry in a low voice, holding a book and moving with the crowd.

"As you can see, I'm with you every day so I don't know either. But I tried writing to Sirius, and he did reply, but there was not a single word on the two full sheets of paper about Lupin's leave." Harry shook his head. In fact, even Sirius took several days to reply to his letter.

"Mysterious adult, isn't he? Oh, Percy has been acting so nervous lately because of the NEWTs. I can't imagine how annoying of an adult he will become. I don't know how Penelope can stand him. I bet they will eventually separate."

Ron complained that he was kind enough to care about Percy's poor condition this morning, but was instead scolded by Percy and accused of being a poor student. His good mood for the whole day was ruined, so he secretly cursed Percy for failing in love.

"That's not what we're talking about. It's Lupin, Ron. What do you think of Mr. Green? He seems to be very knowledgeable."

"As long as it's not Snape, his Potions class is already painful enough." Ron looked up, hoping that Green was a teacher who didn't like assigning homework to students.

"Who's feeling uncomfortable?" Lena just caught up at this time and walked behind the three of them.
