Chapter 287: Direction
In a daze, Peter taught the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in his life by self-study.
Yes, self-study!
This surprised all the young wizards. You know, the original Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a combat training course based on actual combat. Since the arrival of Professor Lupin in the third grade, this subject has become the most popular subject.
When Professor Lupin left because of physical problems, Professor Pettigrew, who took over, also followed Professor Lupin's usual teaching method, and Professor Pettigrew was much stronger than Professor Lupin in their eyes.
A warrior against the Dark Lord, a loyal partner who has been dormant for twelve years to silently protect the children of friends, and a recipient of the First Class Merlin Medal, these are all honors that can be seen in the eyes.
For this reason, Professor Pettigrew has gained a considerable number of fans. His prestige in Hogwarts far exceeds that of the savior Harry and his powerful friend Van Lin.
Some people say that Professor Pettigrew will be the next Dumbledore.
This is a great honor, which is much more practical than the reward from the Ministry of Magic. The most important point is that everyone thinks so. Even the Daily Prophet has published it like this. This slogan was first shouted out by the Daily Prophet.
However, such a person who stirred up the wizarding world actually gave such nonsense as self-study in his class.
Their beloved Professor Peddle just said a few simple words, explained the subjects of the exam, and then... then explained.
Well, Professor Peddle finally gave the explanation: "Because the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination is an examination of magic theory knowledge held by the Ministry of Magic, so... so self-study, the relevant content is in the textbook!"
Well, this explanation is very powerful and very powerful, and it is impossible to refute it.
It is precisely because of this that Peter Pettigrew quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got away with it. Otherwise, he really didn't have anything to teach these Hogwarts students.
The only thing he could do was Transfiguration, Animagus Transfiguration, but this was not the job of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. This was Professor McGonagall's job. He did not think that his Transfiguration was better than Professor McGonagall's.
In fact, Peter felt an inexplicable pressure just by sitting on the podium and looking at the students below. He seemed restless on the podium. He stood up and scratched his hair.
He was always like this, so naturally everyone gave Professor Pettigrew a look of "you are sick".
In the end, Peter chose to leave. He hid in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, and then the whole classroom seemed to be completely liberated.
In the following period of time, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts became the most relaxing course. Their former amiable and powerful Professor Pettigrew seemed to have changed into a different person. Every time he came to class, he would announce a self-study session, or teach some simple things according to their textbooks.
For more time, their Defense Against the Dark Arts classes were spent in a relaxed manner, and the students of Hogwarts liked this professor even more because of this relaxation.
Of course, this matter was eventually reported to Professor McGonagall, and no one knew who had reported it.
However, Professor McGonagall's reaction made Peter completely relax. That was Professor McGonagall's trust in Professor Peter, who had worked here before. Every professor would definitely choose a suitable method to educate students, and they had to express enough trust in every professor they hired.
It was like issuing an amnesty to Peter. After that, Peter only took three days to completely adapt to his current identity.
No need to worry, no need to hide in someone else's pocket every day, can walk with two legs, can hang his medal on his chest, can accept the respectful eyes of everyone, this feeling is really great for Peter.
He no longer has to hide from those damned little ghosts. He didn't even know that he was Harry's godfather. This was simply a layer of close protection for him.
He could openly accept the respectful eyes of everyone in Hogwarts. Occasionally, the Daily Prophet would invite him to give one or two lectures. He even drank tea at the same table with the Minister of Magic. Most importantly, he no longer had to be afraid of Dumbledore and Voldemort!
Yes, that's right, it's Voldemort. He can openly call out that person's name, and Voldemort will never know, because here, Voldemort has been completely dead for more than a year.
This news can't help but make Peter excited. In his memory, Voldemort has always been the powerful Dark Lord who can confront Dumbledore in his heyday.
Advanced black magic is always the symbol of Lord Voldemort. Although in his vague memory, Voldemort was defeated by Harry and Vanlin many times in succession, he still believes in Voldemort's strength in his heart. As long as he recovers, no one can defeat him.
But now it seems that Voldemort may not have recovered that much.
This news came from the collected Daily Prophet. In the photo above, there are four shadows of people, him, Dumbledore, Harry and Vanlin.
It was the four of them who successfully captured Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest and killed him completely.
Peter didn't know much about the specific situation, but according to reports, he played a decisive role in the battle.
The two children first discovered Voldemort's traces. Voldemort seemed to have some means to revive with the help of Harry's body, and Fanlin happened to be by Harry's side.
Voldemort was so weak at the time that he was blocked by the magic of the two children for a while, but it was only for a short time.
Then, Peter himself arrived like a savior. He successfully rescued the two children from Voldemort and his Death Eaters, and then he and Dumbledore, who arrived last, completely killed Voldemort's body at that time.
They also suppressed Voldemort's remaining soul in the underground of the Forbidden Forest with a magic pattern array, that is, inside the dry well. Peter went to see it, although he didn't see anything.
However, this did not affect his mood. Everything was moving in a... good direction... (To be continued)
