"Are you kidding, Mr. Blaine?"
Lupine opened his mouth wide, and his aged and haggard face showed astonishment, shock and confusion. He seemed to think that Amosta was just making a bad joke, but looking at the solemn and serious expression on his face, he felt that It doesn’t seem like this!
"You want me to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor position at Hogwarts?"
This ridiculous suggestion made Lu Ping, who had come from the war years and had extensive experience, a little unable to accept it. His eyebrows were raised high and his tone was urgent,
"Mr. Blaine, I'm sure you haven't forgotten that I am..."
The guests in the bar were walking back and forth, and Lupine shut his mouth warily.
"That's a very good offer, isn't it?"
Amosta smiled, reading the pavilion
"Professor is a decent and meaningful job. Not only does it have nothing to do with sin, but it also pays well and can save you from an embarrassing life... You should know that Dumbledore is not the kind of person who is regarded by worldly eyes and A person bound by rules, Lupin, you are pretty good, I think you are qualified for this job."
After the people around him dispersed, Lupine continued to vent the confusion that Amosta's proposal had brought to him.
"I studied in that school, and of course I know what a professor's job is, but that's not the problem, Mr. Blaine,"
It was undeniable that this was a proposal that made him excited, but his reason told Lu Ping that this matter would never happen.
"My werewolf identity is no secret to many people, Mr. Brain, do you think the Hogwarts Board of Governors and the Ministry of Magic would allow Dumbledore to hire a werewolf to teach young wizards how to defend themselves against the dark arts and the dangers they face?" It’s so ridiculous, I am a dangerous magical creature myself!”
"If you can't face yourself, Lupin, how dare you expect others to treat you rationally?"
Amosta continued to lead,
"Dumbledore will help you solve all the problems you are worried about. In addition, there is a potion master in the school who can brew wolfsbane potion, which can save you from the pain of those few days every month."
Wolfsbane potion can almost be called the savior of wizards like Lupine who are forced to become werewolves. Unfortunately, its high price is basically beyond the reach of most werewolves. After many painful transformations, At night, Lupine prayed that he would have enough galleons to purchase this precious potion.
Lu Ping visibly hesitated when he mentioned this, but when he thought of the potion master's disagreement with him, Lu Ping could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"It won't be that simple, Mr. Brain..." Lupine smiled lonelyly, "If you have a child, you will be happy to see that his teacher is a werewolf who loses his mind at every turn and bites other people's necks. ?"
After finally coming up with this 'excellent' revenge idea, Amosta couldn't give up so easily. He patiently enlightened Lupine and talked to him about the benefits of becoming a respected professor.
"--Think about it, Remus,"
Amosta called Lupine by his name affectionately,
"If you can do a good job in this position, then some wonderful things will happen. People may have a great change in the image of werewolves, and they will no longer look at you differently. Remus, you have saved everything. A werewolf like you who is forced to carry a heavy load in the darkness!"
Amosta's tone was impassioned, and by the end, even he himself admired his ability to confuse.
Could it be that I really have the potential to become the third generation Dark Lord?
Looking at Remus Lupin who was only one step away from agreeing, this thought suddenly flashed through Amosta's mind.
Lupine exhaled heavily. After all, he was a wizard born in Gryffindor. After Amosta's persuasion, courage quickly gathered in his heart.
"But there have been rumors about the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts,"
Suddenly remembering something, Lu Ping pointed at the newspaper spread out on the table and frowned.
"There are some bad rumors, and this year's Gilderoy Lockhart seems to confirm it..."
"That's nonsense!"
Amosta shouted "righteously",
"This is just spreading rumors. Look at me, Lupin. I stepped back from that position unharmed without any harm... Even after doing this, my luck has been pretty good. Recently, I have been very lucky. Make a little fortune!"
From all aspects, Amosta's opinion was a very good suggestion, but it was precisely this that made Lupine always feel wary.
"Why, Mr. Blaine?"
Lupine asked confusedly,
"There is no doubt that I have offended you. If you had used the same methods to deal with my cruel fellows below, I would not be surprised at all. But you did not do this. Instead, you enthusiastically introduced me to Working, trying to keep me afloat..., that's weird, isn't it?"
"Because I recognize your abilities and kindness, Remus-"
Amosta smiled gently. He already knew that he was about to achieve his goal.
"I have been a professor of this course, and I have been closely related to the little wizards in the school for several months. They are a group of very cute children. They all deserve orthodox and professional education, and they all deserve A bright future, and Gilderoy Lockhart's incident obviously proves that even the great Dumbledore's vision can sometimes be wrong. I can't bear for those children to waste their years at the most precious age, Remus, I think you have what it takes to help them--"
The brightest sunshine at noon dispelled the darkness in this somewhat gloomy bar, and also dispelled the fog in Lu Ping's heart. The doubts between his eyebrows disappeared, revealing a relieved and relieved smile.
"I have to go back quickly and see if my herbs are still there, Mr. Blaine,"
Lupine stood up and straightened his old robes a little.
"I hope no one will feed the centurion herbs to the centaurs... Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Blaine. This meal will probably last me a few more days."
"About my proposal--"
Looking at Remus walking towards Diagon Alley, Amosta narrowed his eyes and stood up as well.
"I'm sorry that I can't give you an accurate answer now. I still need some time to think about it carefully."
After all, he was a wizard who had gone through the extremely cruel war years and wandered in the underground world all year round. Remus Lupine was more rational and vigilant than Amosta imagined.
"in addition,"
Lupine stood in the golden light and shadow, and his stretched smile made him feel as if he had suddenly become twenty years younger. He looked at the young wizard at the dining table, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
"I probably understand why Albus can still be so tolerant after knowing what you have done in the past few years. You are indeed different from the one I remember,"
"What's the meaning?"
Amosta's expression suddenly hardened.
Lupine smiled and waved to him, turned around and walked into the light. After a breath, a gentle voice came into Amosta's ears from outside the door, causing him to fall into a long silence.
"You have a tender heart, Amosta--"
