worry

Ciaran's advice seemed to work on Monday night. In the Care of Magical Creatures classes for the other grades later, Hagrid indeed introduced unicorns, nifflers, and an interesting creature called a Demiguise. If it feels threatened, it automatically becomes invisible, which was an eye-opener for the students.

Almost all magical creatures like Demiguise are found in the Far East, and Hagrid had to go through a lot of trouble to get one.

This led to the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh-grade students giving Hagrid, the new Care of Magical Creatures professor, a relatively good evaluation. It wasn't glowing, but at least it wasn't bad.

Only the third-year students still had some concerns and worries.

First and second-year students do not need to take Care of Magical Creatures.

Because the students' evaluations were acceptable, Hagrid went to Ciaran to express his gratitude, saying that Ciaran's advice had been a great help to him, and gave Ciaran a bag of biscuits.

Ciaran tried one and found it could be used as a hammer.

However, Ciaran heard from Harry, Ron, and Hermione that Malfoy would not give up and would definitely let his father, Lucius Malfoy, use his influence to get Hagrid removed from his position as teacher.

"You're overthinking it," Ciaran said, putting away her lesson plans. Class had ended by this time, and Harry and the others had stayed behind on purpose.

"Professor, do you think Malfoy is good?" Harry asked in disbelief.

"Of course Lucius isn't good. Draco is only in the third year like you. What can he do?" Ciaran said. "Besides, Hagrid is a professor and hasn't made any big mistakes. Everyone knew that Malfoy's injury wasn't serious. In this case, how could Hagrid be expelled from the Hogwarts teaching staff? But Buckbeak's case is not certain, after all, it did attack Malfoy."

"But Malfoy brought it on himself," Ron said.

"Yes, he asked for it, but he is a student, a wizard studying at Hogwarts, isn't he?" Ciaran said. "Buckbeak is just a magical creature after all."

"Okay, you should go to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. If you're late for Professor Lupin's first class, you'll regret it. Your Defence Against the Dark Arts class today will definitely be very interesting," Ciaran said.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione had no choice but to leave the classroom with their schoolbags and rush to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom with curiosity.

"Professor Frémont said it would be very interesting? He knows what today's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is about?" Ron said doubtfully.

"Maybe. He and Professor Lupin seem to have a good relationship, don't they? Maybe Professor Lupin asked for his opinion? After all, this is Professor Lupin's first class, and he must have no experience. Asking Professor Frémont for advice is also very normal," Hermione guessed.

"We'll find out later," Harry said.

During the evening meal, most of the students were in high spirits.

"Did you see that Boggart?" Ron said proudly. "I defeated it!"

"What a pity!" Hermione sighed regretfully. "I wanted to deal with the Boggart too."

They had indeed had a lively and interesting Defence Against the Dark Arts class today. Professor Lupin taught them how to deal with strange dark creatures like Boggarts. Boggarts often become the most feared image in a wizard's heart, but by concentrating your thoughts and chanting the "Riddikulus" spell, you can make the Boggart do very funny actions or decorations, easily defeating it.

"What will it become in front of you, Hermione?" Ron said maliciously, "An assignment that didn't get full marks but only got nine points?"

"Humph." Hermione glared at Ron fiercely.

Harry seemed a little uncomfortable and asked quietly, "Why didn't he let me deal with the Boggart? He stopped right when it was my turn."

Not every student had to deal with the Boggart, as time was limited, but when it was Harry's turn, Professor Lupin stopped.

"You'll have to ask Professor Lupin," Ron shrugged, grabbing a piece of steak.

Harry was a little depressed and remained so until he returned to the Gryffindor common room. He thought about how he fainted because of the Dementors on the train, and he was the only student who fainted. Could Professor Lupin be afraid that the Boggart would turn into a Dementor, and then Harry would faint again and be laughed at by Malfoy and others?

Thinking about how he would have been laughed at by Malfoy if he had actually fainted in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom because of a Boggart that turned into a Dementor, he suddenly felt a little relieved. He didn't know if he could withstand it if he faced the Dementors again. What if he really fainted?

"Oh." Harry sighed softly, lay down on the bed, and covered his head with the quilt. He didn't want his roommates to see his expression.

The first weekend came quickly. Ciaran was looking through an ancient magic book, "Poisonous Magic". This was a collection in Principal Dumbledore's library and would not be placed in the Hogwarts library to avoid misleading curious students.

Although Ciaran relies on the Force points to improve the level of magic, spells, transformations, etc., this method is quick to achieve results and does not require much effort. You only need to find special magical items that contain Force points. However, Ciaran often reads various books to enrich himself. After all, he can improve his strength without using Force points.

He feels that his level of Charms has been improved again. The original level 5 (elementary) level of Charms is already considered to be at the upper end of the magical world. If it improves further, his strength will definitely be enhanced. Perhaps he can start to hope for the level of the four major deans.

"I can improve magic, transformation, potions, herbalism, etc. through my own efforts, but the magic level..."

Ciaran frowned. His magic level increased very slowly, especially after reaching level 5 (elementary level), and there had been no progress for several months. Maybe the upper limit of his body is level 5 (elementary) level. There is no other way to increase the magic level except by relying on Force points.

Ciaran decided to absorb the Force points contained in special magical items such as Gryffindor's sword. As for the doubts, he could no longer care about it. After all, absorbing the Force points only had a slight impact on the magical items, not completely destroying them.

He put down "Poisonous Magic" and went directly to the outside of the principal's office on the eighth floor. He said the password. The stone gargoyle jumped aside, and he went straight into the principal's office.
