I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 156 Stigma

The first Quidditch match is approaching, but the weather in the British Isles is getting worse and worse. In order to train with Harry, Orlando has to frequently use the Transfiguration Charm to conjure everyone a hut that can temporarily withstand the wind and rain.With his well-trained body, he is not afraid of the cold, but Hermione is a girl, but she can't stand the wind and rain. For this reason, he specially asked Felius Flitwick, the professor of charms, how to use it. Warm spell.

Obviously, although Orlando is young, his own strength is recognized by everyone, otherwise Professor McGonagall would not ask him to accompany him in training.

Today was the last routine training before the game. After Wood led the Gryffindor Quidditch players to complete the training task against the wind and rain, Mrs. Hooch brought a bad news.

The first match against Slytherin was temporarily canceled and changed to match against Hufflepuff. The reason given by Slytherin was that their Seeker was unable to train due to an arm injury, so they applied for the postponement of the match .

Ron cursed angrily, and the other Gryffindor players were also very angry. This sudden change of opponent before the game would make their play tactics deviate.

"Malfoy's arm is fine at all," Harry said angrily, "He's clearly pretending."

"I understand, but we can't prove it," Wood said bitterly. "We've been practicing with Slytherins, and now we're playing against Hufflepuffs, and their style is pretty bad." Same. They've got a new captain and Seeker Cedric Diggory..."

Wood rambled on and on, not only did not boost morale, but made the players more anxious. Orlando felt that this would not work, so he said, "Wood, don't forget that you still have a trump card. Our ultimate goal is the Quidditch trophy." , Is it important which academy the opponent is in? I don’t think, since we have to face them anyway, does it make a difference who goes first?”

Orlando's words were like enlightenment, instantly awakening everyone.That's right, their goal this year is the Quidditch trophy. To get the trophy, they must defeat the other three houses. Since they are all opponents, is there any difference in who comes first?

"Orlando is right, Wood, we shouldn't build up other people's ambitions and destroy our own prestige. Since we are all opponents, it doesn't matter who comes first. Don't forget that we still have a trump card." George hugged Wood's Neck winked and said.

Cheers and laughter soon came from the locker room. The players were full of confidence and began to look forward to the game impatiently.

"Orlando, you are the best. I think it would be great if you were selected for the Quidditch team. You will definitely be the captain." On the way back to the castle, Ron said incoherently.

"If I were the captain, what would you ask Wood to do?" Orlando glanced at him.

"Well, I just think you're more like the captain than him." Ron lowered his voice as he spoke. After all, Wood was his own brother. If this word reached his ears, he might be beaten up when he returned home.

Hermione covered her mouth and sniggered. She couldn't go into the dressing room, but after listening to Ron's story, she also felt that Orlando was more suitable to be the captain than Wood, and no one was better than her boyfriend. She I thought sweetly in my heart.

On the second day in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Orlando unexpectedly found that Professor Lupine was not there, and Snape was the substitute. After coming out, Snape was not in a good mood, and the whole class was full of malice.

Harry was late and hit the gunpoint, and was deducted [-] points by Snape after some confrontation, which made him even more depressed when he was already in a bad mood.

"Snape's public revenge." Hermione gritted her teeth in hatred.

Orlando looked up at her, and replied in a low voice: "The grievances of the previous generation really shouldn't continue to the present."

"What kind of grievances from the previous generation, do you know why?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"Oh, I know, Harry is here, we'll talk about it later." Orlando accidentally slipped his mouth, and quickly stopped.

Snape directly skipped the previous chapters and took a class on werewolves. To be honest, Orlando had more sympathy for werewolves than disgust. After all, in his opinion, most werewolves were victims. They were a bit like AIDS patients in the Muggle world. .

"Orlando, answer. What should I do when I meet a transformed werewolf?" Orlando, who was thinking wildly, was suddenly named by Snape.

"Take him down at a safe distance and incapacitate him, Professor."

"This method is only suitable for powerful wizards," Snape said noncommittally, "but for the vast majority of wizards, I don't recommend this, because werewolves will lose their minds after transforming, bloodthirsty and brutal, physically They will also have strong magic resistance. General offensive magic has little effect on them, so the best way is to restrict their actions, such as obstacle spells, tripping spells, etc. These spells are not very powerful But the advantage is that everyone can learn it simply, why don't you write it down?"

Orlando sat down and curled his lips. His Refa innately restrains all dark creatures. Does it need to be so troublesome?
The bell finally rang, and Snape left a lot of homework on how to identify and kill werewolves, because Orlando reminded Hermione that Lupine was a werewolf early on.

"Orlando, do you think Snape hates werewolves? Or Professor Lupine?" Hermione asked after finishing her homework, looking up at Snape's back.

"Have they all?"

"What do you mean? What does a werewolf have to do with Professor Lupine?" Harry asked vaguely, and Ron also leaned over.

"Well, you can't say it now, but you will know later." Since Dumbledore assured a werewolf to teach, he would naturally have his consideration.

Hermione hesitated to speak, looked at the empty classroom, thought for a while and still couldn't hold back, and reminded: "You'd better stay away from Professor Lupin, especially on a full moon night."

"Why is that?" Monk Ron Zhanger couldn't figure it out, he didn't hear such an obvious hint.

"It's fine if you don't understand, just remember what I said." Hermione gave him an angry look.

Harry and Ron looked at Orlando, who shrugged and spread his hands to indicate that he was helpless.

Harry and Ron had finished their lessons for the day, and Orlando and Hermione had another lesson to attend.

"They must be hiding something from us." On the way back to the lounge, Ron complained to Harry dissatisfied.

"Hermione won't harm us, is there really something wrong with Lupine?" You must know that their Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have always had various problems over the years, which had to arouse Harry's vigilance.

"Why didn't she tell us directly, is it interesting for us to guess like this?"

"Maybe they have a last resort." Harry said with some uncertainty.

The next day, due to the passing of the hurricane, the weather in the British Isles was terrible. There were lightning and thunder outside Hogwarts Castle, and it was raining heavily. Orlando read the newspaper while eating breakfast, "Huh." Orlando suddenly put down the bread in his hand, Turn the newspaper over. "

"what's wrong?"

"Look here, a generation of alchemist Nicole Flamel's closed disciples are domineering at Hogwarts, ignoring the laws of the Ministry of Magic and injuring staff on duty, seriously violating laws and disciplines."

"They are talking nonsense, framing, and slander. I want to write a letter to protest." After reading this report, Hermione's good mood disappeared instantly, and she said with righteous indignation.

"Hehe, you don't need to be so angry. The reason why the newspaper dared to report this is that the Ministry of Magic is behind it. If my prediction is correct, maybe Dumbledore is behind it." , this little trick is nothing more than that in Orlando's eyes, so just ignore it.

"Dumbledore? Why?" Hermione was shocked. The headmaster pointed at the students, this is not a joke.

"Why else, my teacher Nicole Flamel has always been indifferent to world affairs, but his influence is still there. Whoever he leans on can gain a great voice in the magic world. Dumbledore wants it, the Ministry of Magic I also want it, so I became a pawn in the middle. Any out-of-the-box behavior of mine will be infinitely magnified and used to threaten or gain my weight."

Hermione was thoughtful. Although she was very smart, it was difficult for her to understand the cruelty of political struggles, but she still had a little understanding after Orlando's explanation.
