Su Xingchen calmly opened the textbook. She had known about this incident for a long time and did not show any dissatisfaction.

The other students rolled their eyes indignantly, muttering to themselves as they flipped through their books.

"Can any of you tell me how to tell the difference between a werewolf and a real wolf?"

Everyone sat there motionless and silent, as no one had prepared for such a late lesson.

Only Hermione, as usual, raised her hands high.

Su Xingchen knew this, and in order to take precautions, she had learned about the habits of werewolves in advance, but there was no way she would raise her hand.

Snape at least mocked Hermione, but to her? Haha, he completely ignored her.

In fact, she really wanted to ask Snape how he could completely ignore a person's existence? At least she couldn't do it.

Snape ignored Hermione and continued, "Who can answer?"

"It seems I must talk to Professor Dumbledore about how backward and poor Lupin's education of you is."

"We told you we haven't learned this chapter yet," Parvati said suddenly.

"He's the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher we've ever had," Dean Thomas said loudly, and the other students murmured their agreement.

"Quiet!" Snape said in a snarling voice, looking menacing.

Harry felt that Su Xingchen's statement about Snape and Lupin being friends might be wrong.

"Please, Professor," Hermione said, her hands still raised high. "There are a few small differences between werewolves and real wolves. The werewolf's snout..."

"This is the second time you've spoken without permission, Miss Granger." Snape said in a cold voice, "Five more points from Gryffindor for being an intolerable know-it-all."

Hermione blushed crimson, dropped her arms, and stared at the table with tears in her eyes.

Su Xingchen, Hermione's deskmate, quickly patted her back to comfort her. She couldn't speak, otherwise Gryffindor would lose points again.

I took a quick glance at Snape. No matter how great his endurance was, the author portrayed him as such a bad person in the early stages that it was hard to believe that he was a good person.

It’s no wonder that Harry has always been prejudiced against him. He is such a hateful person.

Almost the whole class glared at Snape angrily. Although they had secretly called Hermione a "know-it-all", they had never treated the person like that in front of others.

Of course, except for our male protagonist Harry Potter.

Ron, who secretly called Hermione a "know-it-all" at least twice a week, now shouted to Snape, "You asked a question, and she knows the answer! If you don't want it answered, why ask?"

Su Xingchen was a little surprised that Ron was confronting Snape for Hermione at this time. After all, they often quarreled and got angry with each other.

Then she curled the corners of her mouth slightly. This is how it should be.

It would be even more perfect if they could understand each other's feelings directly afterwards without going through all those twists and turns.

But then again, there is no perfection in this world.

Looking at the current situation, everyone knows that Ron is in trouble.

"Detention, Weasley." Snape leaned his face close to Ron. "If I hear you disagree with my teaching methods again, you will regret it."

Ron couldn't help but tremble. Snape who spoke softly was much scarier than Snape who was aggressive.

No one dared to speak again in the following class.

The bell finally rang, but Snape didn't let them leave.

"Each of you will write me a paper on how to identify and kill werewolves. I require you to complete two full pages of parchment on this topic, due on Monday morning."

Suddenly, there was a sound of "sigh" in the classroom.

"This class needs someone to take charge. Weasley, stay here. We need to make arrangements for your detention."

Harry, Hermione and Su Xingchen left the classroom with their classmates.

Everyone suppressed their anger until they were out of Snape's earshot, then they began to talk and criticize fiercely.

The three of them waited at the corner for Ron to come out, but it was obvious that he wouldn't stay long.

"Snape has never treated other Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers like this," Harry said. "Could it be because of the Boggart incident?"

Neville made Professor Snape, who had transformed from a Boggart, wear his grandmother's strange clothes, which made him very angry and he started to cause trouble for Neville more frequently.

"I don't know." Hermione was worried. "I really hope Professor Lupin gets better soon."

"It seems you are wrong." Harry said to Su Xingchen.

"Maybe." Su Xingchen nodded. She couldn't wash away what happened today.

Five minutes later, Ron caught up, furious.

"You know what that beep-beep-beep-beep wants me to do?" Ron clenched his fists and gasped. "He wants me to clean the bedpans in the hospital, and I'm not allowed to use magic!"

Su Xingchen was surprised that Ron actually swore, but after hearing the second sentence, he understood. No wonder he was so angry.

Yes. It's understandable. It's understandable.

On the day of the Quidditch match, Harry woke up very early, before daybreak.

At first he thought the violent storm had woken him, until he realized Peeves was blowing cold air hard on the back of his neck.

After being discovered, he laughed wildly and then rushed out of the room.

Harry touched the alarm clock and saw it was only half past four. Ron beside him was shouting loudly.

He cursed Peeves in his heart and wanted to turn over and continue sleeping.

But after waking up, it was hard to ignore the rumbling thunder and howling wind outside the window, as well as the sound of branches snapping in the forbidden forest in the distance.

After tossing and turning, Harry knew he couldn't fall asleep anymore. He got up, dressed, picked up his Nimbus 2000, and quietly left the dormitory.

When we reached the common room, the storm was even louder.

In a few hours, he would be out on the Quidditch pitch battling the wind and rain, and he knew in his heart that Quidditch would not be cancelled because of a minor matter like a lightning storm.

But for some unknown reason, he began to feel worried.

Diggory was much bigger than he was, and he looked nothing like a Seeker, who were usually well-built and agile.

But in this kind of weather, his physique actually became an advantage, at least he wouldn't be blown all over the place.

Harry whiled away the hours in front of the fire, waiting for daybreak.

Of course, he also stopped Crookshanks from sneaking up the stairs to the boys' dormitory from time to time. He seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with Ron's spotted spots.

"Good morning." Su Xingchen yawned as she went downstairs. She had a nightmare all night amid the howling wind and rain, and it was rare for her to get up early.

"It's time to go to breakfast," said Harry.

Su Xingchen nodded. Hermione and Ron would not get up for the time being at such an early hour.
