The weather that had been gloomy for almost half a month finally changed on a new day. The temperature was still cold enough to turn water into ice, but the dense clouds reluctantly retreated from the stage under the eager expectations of countless creatures on the earth. The sun Reappeared, casting pale and feeble sunlight on the earth.
After a whole semester of practice, the first-year Gryffindor wizards can finally let go.
Under the supervision of Mrs. Hooch, they rode on the school's old-fashioned meteor broomstick and flew thirty feet above the ground, cheering and chasing the broken snow flying in the air like dandelions.
Ahem!
After experiencing the debilitating transformation last night, Remus's face was as pale as the snow on the lawn. He leaned on Amosta's cot, covered with the thick quilt he brought, and tried to look outside with his head held high. Judging from his expression, the little wizard is in a pretty good mood.
"This thing really requires talent--"
Looking at the little guys who had been practicing for half a year and still couldn't get rid of their clumsy movements, Remus gasped and said to himself,
"I heard that when Harry rode a broomstick for the first time, he flew better than many senior kids on the team. Phew... He undoubtedly inherited James' excellent talent--"
Meow!
A soft meow from his knees suddenly drew Remus's attention back. He looked over and saw the black and gray cat that Amosta had picked up from the wilderness and named him Lenny. The eyes showed happiness and relief, and he nodded slightly.
"You think so too, Lenny?"
Remus smiled gently, thinking it was a coincidence, but what surprised him was that Lenny actually nodded again after hearing his question.
What a strange cat--
Remus was slightly confused.
Last night, Remus was transformed in his office, and for the convenience of taking care of him, Amosta moved himself to this office early this morning. When he first came, Amosta was actually very serious about it. I asked this black cat, which always looked inexplicably familiar, that I would probably be living here for the next few days and asked it if it needed a change of residence.
At that time, Remus only thought that Amosta was making fun of him. After all, sometimes, this young wizard liked to make some bad jokes. But he didn't expect that after a moment of hesitation, Lenny actually shook his head.
"Amosta saw that you were very smart, so he brought you back, right?"
Remus smiled slightly. He slowly reached out his hand and wanted to stroke Lenny's furry head. Unexpectedly, this frightened Lenny. He jumped off the camp bed with a whoosh and jumped to the sofa opposite. , stayed twenty-four hours a day, at least twenty hours lying next to the fat Crookshanks.
"Oh, sorry--"
Remus showed a disappointed expression, he sighed and said, "I thought you liked me quite a bit."
Lenny crawled on the sofa and covered his face with two too-thick cat paws, fearing that Remus would see the guilt in his eyes.
At this time, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and this also gave Remus a reminder. He looked at the cup of black smoky potion on the table in Amosta's office, with a bitter look on his face, "I have reason to believe that Severus might be targeting me,"
Remus used his two hands to support his body so that he could sit up straight. However, he was too exhausted. He tried several times, but his arms couldn't move at all.
"This medicine is several times more bitter than before..."
After struggling for a long time, Remus smiled bitterly and leaned back on the pillow. In desperation, he took out the wand in his arms.
"Wingardim Leviosa--"
Remus muttered something in a low voice, but the glass containing the Wolfsbane potion on the table only shook a few times, and after spilling a lot of liquid, there was no sign of floating in the air.
"This really bothers me--"
Under the influence of the magic of the full moon, the wolfsbane in the werewolf's body rapidly proliferates and reproduces during the transformation period. It is necessary to continuously drink wolfsbane potion to kill the wolfsbane. Otherwise, it will become aggressive. Remus does not dare to joke about this. , seeing that he couldn't even cast a simple levitating spell, he put back his wand and struggled hard on the bed. After a long while -
Bang - Remus rolled off the bed and lay sprawled on the ground.
Meow--
Lenny, who had witnessed the whole process of Remus' efforts, could no longer hold back. He quickly jumped to Remus' side again, biting Remus's sleeve with his mouth and trying to drag him up, but such an action was too much for him. It was too much for a cat, and it couldn't even lift Remus' arms.
"Huh---stay away from me, little guy--"
Remus, who already felt a splitting headache, said breathlessly, hoping that Amosta's cat would stay away from him.
However, Lenny did not give up. After realizing that he could not help Remus get up, he suddenly jumped up to the desk, hoping to pick up the cup of potion, but this was another difficult task for a person. Only claws for cats.
Ridiculous and ridiculous, two living wizards were actually stumped by a cup of magic potion.
Damn it Blaine!
Lenny bared his teeth in hatred. The transformation spell he cast on himself could only be broken manually, unlike Animagus who could take the initiative to break the spell.
Lying on the cold floor, Remus' eyes were already bloodshot. He could feel as if billions of insect eggs were breaking out of their shells in his body, and at the same time they were absorbing the little magic power in his body and using it. Rapid growth, this kind of pain made his consciousness blurred, and it also made him feel extremely irritable.
Fortunately, the wolfsbane potion he drank before was still working in his body, helping Remus maintain a certain degree of sanity. Otherwise, he might have started to go crazy.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Remus, who had been fighting against his bloodthirsty desire with his hazy reason, suddenly noticed that there was something wet on his lips. He subconsciously sucked it and fell into it. The cold liquid in his mouth gradually regained consciousness.
The wet and hard thing disappeared, but soon it appeared on his lips again. Remus, who had already tasted that it was wolfsbane potion, did not hesitate and took it again.
After doing this several times, the haze in his vision faded, and Remus finally saw who was feeding him the medicine.
It was the cat named Lenny - he took a quill out of the pen holder on Amosta's desk and was using the pen tube to absorb the medicine and then give it to himself!
"Ahem--, you are so smart, little guy!"
Remus, who choked on the medicine, coughed twice and said incredulously,
"I've never seen a cat with a head as flexible as yours, Lenny--"
Click--
There was a crisp sound of metal banging. After class, Amosta, who hurried back from the auditorium after packing some food, pushed the door open and entered. It only took him three seconds to understand everything that happened in the room.
"Oh, don't yell--"
Amosta walked in quickly and put Remus back on the bed. While feeding him medicine, he looked dissatisfied at Lenny, who was on the ground and barking angrily like a she-cat in spring. said,
"I didn't cause this--"
"I think I must have looked very embarrassed just now--"
About ten minutes later, Remus finally regained his breath, and he said to Amosta with a wry smile.
"Everyone has times when he is depressed and embarrassed."
Amosta chewed the grilled eel and said nonchalantly.
The werewolf's situation cannot be described with words like desolation and embarrassment. Remus pursed his lips and suddenly reached out and touched the top of Lenny's head. This time, Lenny only took a half step back hesitantly, but It didn't move away, and that was a huge relief to Remus.
"It's all thanks to you today, little one, or I might have gotten into trouble."
Remus stared into Lenny's gray eyes and said, but he noticed that Lenny seemed to be avoiding his eyes all the time.
"Do you want to adopt him, Remus?"
Amosta stared at the wolf and the cat who were exchanging feelings with interest, and said unexpectedly.
Lenny's body suddenly tensed up, his eyes staring at the ground, neither looking at Remus nor glaring angrily at Amosta.
"If you're willing to bear the pain, Amosta--"
Remus, who was hesitating how to make the request, immediately smiled.
"I do hope to make friends with this smart little guy."
