The next morning, there was a continuous drizzle in the sky.
Sitting at the window seat of the Diagon Alley coffee shop, Rosie quickly flipped through the books he had just bought from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and used a quill to mark the distribution of various monsters on the magic map he bought.
Although she has a systematic Floo Network map, paper magic maps are more convenient and faster to mark.
When she heard the system's "ding ding ding ding" prompts for acquiring temporary skills, she suddenly felt that the refreshing Americano coffee in her hand was no longer bitter.
She concentrated on reading the book, and occasionally used her little finger to hook the hair that had slipped to her forehead, blocking her sight.
It was noon before he knew it. After closing the book, Rosie felt empty in her stomach and glanced at her hunger level, which actually dropped below 30.
"Studying is indeed a very energy-consuming thing. I only replenished it in the morning, and now it has fallen off."
Muttering silently, Rosie, who had briefly read through a few books, had just put them away when her intuition prompted her to unconsciously raise her eyes.
Outside the window of the coffee shop, a man with short brown hair and an old patched robe stood under the eaves, looking at the scene in Diagon Alley in rapt attention.
Feeling familiar, Rossi moved a few steps to the side and finally recognized his appearance from his profile:
It's Lupine!
Turning his name around in his mind, Rossi quickly walked out of the coffee shop and walked up to him excitedly: "Professor Luping..."
When she said this, she suddenly got stuck. The hard reading all morning gave her wrong perceptions, which made her thoughts a little confused.
"What?" Lu Ping didn't hear something clearly, "Miss, you are..."
"My name is Rosie, an Auror from the Ministry of Magic."
Rossi reached out and shook his hand, "Mr. Luping, I have seen your information before..."
Then, a warm smile appeared on her face: "Nice to meet you."
"Oh! Miss Rossi, I'm glad too."
Lu Ping was a little confused, but more shy, "Why are you looking for me?"
Hearing that Rosie was an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, he mistakenly thought that she was looking for something to do with him.
"No, I was just reading inside and happened to see you, so I came to say hello."
Pointing to the other side of the glass window, where he had just been sitting, Rossi explained, then pondered for a moment and then said, "But speaking of which, I do have a little question that I would like to ask you for advice."
He glanced in the direction Rosie pointed. While observing her carefully, Lu Ping recalled in his mind the situation when he first came here, and gradually gained an impression.
"Oh, yes, I saw you just now, reading the book very seriously."
He complimented with a smile, and then asked after what she said, "If you have any questions, just ask them. As long as I can answer them, I won't hide anything."
"That's great, thank you!"
Rossi thanked him and said immediately, "That's it. If nothing else happens, I will be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year."
At this point, she pursed her lower lip and made a troubled expression: "But most of my magic is learned from my family, and I teach children in schools, so I really don't have much experience or confidence. I remember that you came from Hogg Watts graduate, can you tell me how you think I can be a good Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
Hearing that she was about to become a professor at Hogwarts, Lupine was a little surprised at first, then his expression softened, and his senses became much kinder to her.
"You can become a professor at Hogwarts at a young age. It seems that Miss Rossi is more outstanding than I thought."
He sighed, and then talked eloquently, "If you want to be a good Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the core point is: you must understand what the students should learn from the course you teach. Is it practical experience? Yes Theoretical knowledge? Or a combination of theory and practice?”
"Of course it's a combination of theory and practice." Rossi replied immediately.
This was the teaching method Lupine used when she was at Hogwarts, and it worked very well.
And since the task requires her to catch so many monsters, and Dumbledore also hopes that the students will have more practical experience, Rosie will naturally continue to use this teaching method.
At this moment, the feeling of hunger struck again, and she smiled and extended an invitation to the other party:
"Can you use your lunch time to explain it to me in detail?"
"Oh, of course!" Lu Ping agreed happily.
…
In a restaurant in Diagon Alley, the two chatted while eating and discussed a lot.
It can be seen that although Lupine has not really taught students now, his many years of travel have accumulated a lot of experience for him.
While they were chatting happily, Rosie took the opportunity to ask him about the distribution of some monsters that appeared in the book but did not mention their location in detail, such as: boggarts, banshees, poltergeists, resurrected zombies, etc. .
"...Due to some reasons, I haven't returned to the UK for eleven years."
When talking about why he stood in a daze under the eaves of the cafe, Lupine said sadly.
Upon hearing this, Rossi immediately understood that he left the country because of the deaths of Lily and James; and now he came back probably because their children were about to enter school.
"Lupin..."
She couldn't help but said, "Have you ever thought that maybe Peter Pettigrew is not dead, and he is the one who betrayed Lily and the others..."
Before she finished speaking, a white light suddenly lit up on Lu Ping's body, and then she received a warning from the system:
"Warning! No spoilers are allowed for NPCs without triggering relevant information. If violated multiple times, the player's account will be banned depending on the situation. Please do not challenge the system rules."
Well... I was so immersed in the conversation that I forgot about this!
Fortunately this time it was just a warning.
Looking at the system reminder, Rossi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
From Luping's perspective, Rossi suddenly smiled bitterly after calling his name, which made him a little confused.
"Ah, I wanted to ask..."
After sorting out her thoughts, she smiled and said, "Where is your current address? If I encounter anything later or have any questions, can I write to you?"
"Oh, of course."
Lupine took out a card from his coat pocket, then used his wand to leave a mark on it, and handed it to Rosie, "I left my magic mark on it. If you have any questions, you can send an owl to me at any time. "
While taking the card, the system prompt sounded again:
"With Remus John Lupine's magic mark, you can add him to your friend list and communicate with him using a messenger."
Um? Can NPCs also be added as friends?
Magic Mark... Is this a way to make friends with NPCs?
"That, this magic mark..."
Just when she was about to ask him how to get this magic mark, she suddenly saw a button to generate a magic mark at the bottom of her friend list.
"Consume 1 Sickle to generate an exclusive magic mark. Do you want to generate it?"
With a few clicks, a pure white card appeared out of thin air between her fingers.
"Lupin, this is my magic mark. If you have anything, you can contact me."
