Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room, and Colin asked him to leave.
He didn't dare tell Colin that he couldn't go out because he didn't have a permission form.
"What's wrong, Harry?"
Professor Lupine was pale and looked abnormal.
He meets Harry and invites him into the office.
Professor Lupine smiled and asked if he would like some tea.
Harry was a little distracted when he heard the question and answered casually.
Then they chatted and brought up the first class.
Harry wondered why Lupine didn't let him deal with the Boggart.
"I take it for granted that if a Boggart were to face you, it would take on the form of Voldemort."
Lupine's words made Harry suddenly realize that Lupine was obviously afraid that Voldemort would scare other wizards.
Harry explained that the first thing he thought of was indeed Voldemort, but then Dementors appeared.
The two were chatting until Snape knocked on the door and was interrupted. Snape stared at Lupine as if he was verbally provoking him, and then took out a dark cup of some kind of potion.
Harry even thought that Snape was trying to kill Lupin.
"It's okay, there's something wrong with my body."
Lupine explained it to Harry, and Harry reluctantly believed it.
It's just that the wolfsbane potion brewed by Snape was so unpleasant that it made Lupine look miserable.
He originally worked at Johnny Silverhand's store and saved a lot of wolfsbane potion. When he left, he gave away a few bottles because he was soft on the werewolves in the werewolf community.
Now that he only had two bottles on him, he had no choice but to find Dumbledore, who asked Snape to make Wolfsbane potion for him.
Harry watched him take a sip and felt that Professor Lupine would be poisoned to death in the next second. Fortunately, this did not happen.
"Okay, then I'll go find John." Seeing Lupine in so much pain, Harry thought he'd better leave.
Lupine heard John's name and asked strangely: "John Wick? Didn't he go to Hogsmeade?"
"I saw him back, but I don't know where he went, Professor." Looking outside, Harry didn't know where John had gone.
Lupine was thoughtful. It seemed that there was a student who had returned.
He stretched out his hand and paused in the air. Instead of touching Harry's head, he patted his shoulder.
"Maybe John Wick has his own thing." He looked into Harry's eyes.
It's so similar, so much like Lily's eyes.
In a daze, Lupine seemed to have returned to the smart, beautiful, and brave witch he was when he was a student.
Lily Evans.
Harry left, and Lupine shook his head. It was inevitable to feel sad when he saw the son of his old friend.
In a group of four predators, two died and one defected, leaving him alone.
Lupine sighed, thinking of Sirius with a complicated expression.
Two troublemakers in the Marauders group, James and Sirius.
The relationship between the two is also the best. No matter how many nights Lupine couldn't sleep, he still couldn't figure out why it was him.
"I hope you don't appear in front of me."
Clenching his fists, Lupine's pale face showed some abnormal redness.
At the evening banquet, when the out-of-town students came back, Lupine noticed that John Wick never showed up.
After the banquet, Lupine returned to the office.
On the way back, he met John.
John was used to going back after the banquet, and he often didn't meet other classmates.
When he met Lupine, he subconsciously said: "Good evening, Professor... Lupin."
He almost let slip that he was used to calling Lupine by his first name, Remus, but John stopped in time.
Lupine paused and looked at John, suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he still said with a smile: "John, it's a pity that you didn't attend the banquet."
"Thank you for your concern. I was studying earlier and forgot about the time."
There was nothing wrong with John's attitude, and his fingers rubbed the ring position habitually.
"I'm going on a trip now. I hope I can still have some food left."
With a shrug, John said goodbye to Lupine.
Lupine stared at John's back, his pupils constricted.
That action reminded him of someone.
He stood there and muttered: "Is it a coincidence?"
...
After a hasty meal, John returned to the Slytherin lounge, where the students were returning and discussing Hogsmeade with great interest.
Daphne angrily found John and asked, "Why are you back?"
"Something came out."
Sitting down casually, John took out a pile of cockroaches, handed it to Heinrich on the sofa, and asked, "Would you like to eat?"
Heinrich glanced at the pile of cockroaches silently. Although he didn't speak, John could see that rejection was written all over his face.
"Well, it's actually pretty good."
With that said, John put the things back.
Looking up to meet Heinrich's gaze, John said calmly: "Do you need help?"
Heinrich's pale face showed enthusiasm, and he said in a suppressed voice: "I want to become stronger."
The Society of Stars shares power, Heinrich speaks out.
John looked at his pale and handsome face and smiled.
"Ambition is never a derogatory term. I will make you stronger."
Standing up, John said, "Come to me anytime."
Heinrich bowed slightly behind him.
...
John wanted to have a good sleep, but something happened that drove him out of the comfortable big bed.
Sirius is here.
The news spread quickly like a plague, and the whole school was in panic.
Headmaster Dumbledore ordered all students to return to the Great Hall, including John.
He had successfully separated his soul once, but it was when he was terribly sleepy.
When he was called to the auditorium, his eyelids twitched a bit.
So he looked nonchalant, as if he already knew all this.
When Harry saw this scene, he felt a little more confused.
The Gryffindor students were discussing with other students.
The Fat Lady was attacked, and Sirius tried to force his way into the painting, but when he failed, he attacked the painting.
The professors went to search the entire school, and Percy was responsible for maintaining order.
Sleeping bags were conjured up one after another, and John got directly into a sleeping bag in the corner.
In just two hours, John was alive and well again.
The sound of talking reached my ears.
"Do you think Black is still in the castle?" Hermione asked worriedly.
Ron said: "Dumbledore seems to think he's still here."
A rustling sound came from the three people getting into their sleeping bags.
"Fortunately, he chose tonight, and none of us were in the tower." Hermione was still frightened. If it had been yesterday, she really couldn't imagine what would have happened.
"I think he ran away and has no concept of time anymore." Ron was very tired after playing outside all day, and his eyelids were twitching.
When Harry heard this, his mind moved, and he thought of a possibility.
Perhaps Sirius Black had chosen this time specifically to come.
Other students were still talking about how Sirius got into Hogwarts. Some said it was transfiguration, and some said he lay on the roof of the Hogwarts Express.
Harry felt that it was not the case. Maybe it was possible that someone had helped Sirius.
It's faster to open a door from the inside than to pry it open from the outside.
With his mind wandering, Harry soon felt his eyelids clenching. After closing his eyes for a while, he heard a crunch.
The door opened and it was Dumbledore, flanked by Snape and Percy.
They were talking, actually Dumbledore and Snape were talking, Percy was just following.
Snape's words made Harry's ears perk up.
"Have you ever wondered how he got in, Professor?" Snape said suddenly.
"There are many ideas, Severus, but none of them are tenable." Dumbledore glanced at Snape.
Snape tilted his body and whispered meaningfully: "Do you remember that conversation we had, Headmaster, just... just before the start of term."
"Remember, Severus," Dumbledore said, something like a warning in his voice.
"Blake breaking into the school without relying on internal support seems - impossible."
Snape drawled and said, "I express my concerns when you..."
"I don't believe there is anyone in this castle who could help Black break in." Dumbledore concluded, and he stopped talking.
Knowing that he could not sway Dumbledore, Snape said nothing.
Dumbledore said: "I have to go down to find those dementors. I said I would notify them when we are done searching."
Gathering the students together, in addition to being wary of Sirius, is more important to protect the students from being encountered by Dementors.
Several dementors have gone missing these days. The Ministry of Magic and the dementors want to come in and search. If possible, Dumbledore really doesn't want to let them in.
After hearing these words, the three little ones were no longer sleepy, but John was still sleeping soundly there.
