However, he did not have the lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, and he was not wearing the red robes that represented Gryffindor, but the green robes that represented Slytherin.

The others didn't know what was going on, but Harry's face turned green!

Lately, his biggest fear is turning into Harry Snape!

And judging from Bogut's appearance, that's clearly the case!

Before Boggart could say anything outrageous, Harry Potter quickly waved his wand.

"Funny!"

Immediately, Boggart, who had transformed into Harry Potter, became a deflated balloon, slumping down with a series of soft, bubbling sounds.

However, no one expected that Harry Potter would be afraid of being sorted into Slytherin.

He's a natural Gryffindor!

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Xia Zhi, who was trying not to laugh.

His eyes revealed a sense of utter despair.

"Xia guessed it!"

When the summer solstice came, this Boggart seemed to go crazy, constantly changing into various shapes.

Sometimes Xia Zhi would collapse to the ground covered in blood, and sometimes she would transform into the appearance of the Old Celestial Master and sternly declare, "I will expel you from the sect!"

Finally, it transformed into Hermione's appearance and coldly addressed Xia Zhi.

"let's break up!"

Xia Zhi didn't feel anything yet, but Hermione's face suddenly turned blood red!

She drew her wand and rushed out of the group, shouting angrily at Boggart.

"Funny!"

The next moment, Bogut was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and was blasted into the closet.

The young wizards nearby, even Lupin, laughed.

When it was Hermione's turn, Professor McGonagall appeared before her and spoke coldly.

"Miss Granger, you failed all your exams this semester!"

Surprisingly, not a single other person thought anything was wrong!

They all agreed that this must be Hermione's biggest fear.

……

The young wizards who attended their first Defense Against the Dark Arts class after Christmas generally found the new professor particularly interesting.

Only some Slytherins considered Lupin, with his tattered clothes, a poor fellow and looked down on him.

This made Snape hate Lupin even more.

When Snape learned that his position as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had been taken over by someone else—the same Lupin who had nearly turned into a werewolf and killed him in sixth year—he went to see Dumbledore.

"He's a werewolf! Letting a werewolf into the school, Dumbledore, are you insane?"

Dumbledore, however, provided the answer.

“A friend of mine has developed a wolfsbane potion that can keep werewolves sane during a full moon. Although it’s still in the experimental stage, I think we can give it a try on Remus first. I will also be there to watch over him.”

"Furthermore, we have confirmed that Voldemort's curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts subject is powerful and effective, even to the point of affecting himself. For your safety, I cannot allow you to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts for an entire year."

This was Dumbledore's way of showing concern for him, and Snape couldn't refuse.

So when it came to Lupin's Wolfsbane Potion, which was extremely difficult to brew and could only be made by Potions Masters, and most importantly, was given away for free to the incredibly poor Lupin, Snape really wished he could just add some poison to it and kill him!

On Harry's side, Xia Zhi also told Harry about Lupin's relationship with his father.

“They are Gryffindor students, the kind who live in the same dormitory as us. Professor Lupin and your father are very good friends. If you have any questions, you can rest assured to ask him.”

"Is that so?"

Harry looked somewhat bewildered.

Before coming to Hogwarts, he had no idea that wizards existed. He only knew that his parents had died in a car accident and that he was staying with his aunt and uncle.

After entering Hogwarts, he learned that his parents had died at the hands of Voldemort, and that he had inexplicably defeated Voldemort.

He didn't know how to deal with this friend of his father.

Chapter 289 Fourth Floor Corridor

After agreeing to take Harry to the forbidden room in the fourth-floor corridor on the summer solstice, Harry told Ron about it as well.

Then Ron joined the team.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi decided to bring Hermione along as well.

After the spell class ended, Xia Zhi led them up to the fourth floor.

Ron exclaimed in surprise.

"Can I go during the day? I thought I had to go at night."

Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Professor Dumbledore only told us not to go near, he didn't say that the school rules forbade us to go near. Besides, since he said so, it would be strange if no one went to investigate!"

Xia Zhi looked at Ron.

“At least George and Fred must have been here.”

Ron opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I can't argue with that."

Hermione suddenly remembered something.

"For a while, Fred and George went to the library often, seemingly looking for something, but then they stopped going. I don't know if they found it or gave up."

At the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, there is a locked door.

Xia Zhi took out her magic wand and gently tapped the door lock.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

With a click, the door lock was opened.

But apart from Xia Zhi, the other three young wizards who saw what was inside gasped in shock.

In this room, a large black dog with three heads was lying down.

Its size is astonishing; when it stands up, it almost touches the ceiling of the room, and one of its claws is as big as a person.

Upon seeing the four young wizards, the three-headed dog Fluffy blinked and growled as it nudged its head closer.

"Ouch!"

Foul-smelling saliva sprayed from between its teeth, its smell as pungent as a sewer.

As the saying goes: a barking dog doesn't bite.

But if a three-headed dog the size of a truck were barking at you, you'd be scared out of your wits!

Although Xia Zhi knew that since Dumbledore dared to leave Fluffy here, he must have given an order not to let it harm the young wizards.

After all, what he said at the beginning of the school year was very suspicious; it was practically an invitation for those curious young wizards to come and see.

But the little wizards didn't know that!

"Ahhhh!!!"

They screamed and tried to close the door again, but Xia Zhi reached out and stopped them.

"Look at me."

Cerberus can be hypnotized by music, but Xia Zhi doesn't plan to do that.

"There is a golden light covering my body!"

He cast the Golden Light Spell. With ample magical power as fuel, a dazzling golden light, like azure flames, shimmered around him, exceeding three feet in thickness!

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, fearing they would be burned by the golden flames, all took a few steps back.

Xia Zhi stomped her right foot heavily on the ground, causing the stone floor to crack.

Using the momentum of his body surging forward, he concentrated his strength in his right fist and punched the three-headed dog hard!

"Half-step Crushing Fist!"

Even Dumbledore probably couldn't have guessed that someone would use such a reckless method to get through this challenge.

boom!

The punch landed on Lou Williams' head, and the three-headed dog let out a miserable howl.

Despite being only 1.5 meters tall, Xia Zhi's punch sent the Cerberus, whose weight was comparable to that of an elephant, flying off all fours.

boom!

It slammed heavily against the wall furthest from the door, landing with a thud, and the one in the middle was knocked unconscious.

The wall that Lou Williams hit had a lot of rubble and several very obvious cracks.

The strong vibrations were felt on the second, third, and fourth floors.

Many of the young wizards looked surprised, startled by the tremor.

Because of his height, Professor Flitwick, who was standing on a high stack of books to give a lecture, was so shaken that he fell off.

He looked up at the ceiling, which had been shaken down with a lot of dust and rubble, and asked in confusion.

"In the end what happened?"

Inside the room, Xia Zhi put away her fist, with three stunned little wizards behind her.

Ron shook his head vigorously and said fiercely.

"I will absolutely, positively never make Xia angry again!"

Harry and Hermione nodded silently.

Although the three-headed dog was confused in one head, it still had two heads that remained conscious.

But Xia Zhi's punch really hurt, making its other two heads howl in pain.

"Woo!"

Sensing the threat of the summer solstice, Lou Williams tried to shrink his body, curling up in a corner like an injured puppy.

It covered its eyes on both sides of its head with its paws, indicating that it hadn't seen anything, and let Xia Zhi and the others enter through the trapdoor.

Ron said exaggeratedly to Harry and Hermione.

Why do I feel a little sorry for this big dog now?

The group entered the room and closed the door behind them.

Xia Zhi opened the trapdoor in the room and looked down into complete darkness.

He was covered in a golden light spell and jumped down.

Below the trapdoor is a thick layer of devil's netting.

This plant is afraid of strong light and flames.

When the summer solstice falls, the creatures, bathed in golden light, hastily shrunk to the corners of the room, trembling in the shadows.

Standing on the floor, Xia Zhi called out to Hermione and the other two.

"Jump down! I'll catch you!"

Harry and Ron jumped down one after the other and were placed aside by Xia Zhi.

When Xia Zhi caught Hermione, he simply carried her in a princess carry, then strode forward without changing his expression, as if nothing had happened.

"let's go."

Hermione blushed and struggled in Xia Zhi's arms, calling out with a mixture of shyness and anger.

"What are you doing? Put me down right now!"
