Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 228 Remus

"Hagrid, I saw many magical creatures in Beauxbatons that are not available in England. I think you will be interested in them."

"That would be great, but we have plenty of time to talk, don't we?" Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes sparkled, clearly interested in the animal Hera was talking about.

Hera returned to Hogwarts with Professor McGonagall and others. As for Fudge?
No one will care about him.

When Hera passed by the empty table, she paid special attention to it, and the cup on it suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp sound—fortunately, it didn't break.

"Maybe you should go back to the castle and drink a cup of hot milk, and then go to bed." Hera said in a low voice that only he and the invisible man could hear.

"Thanks, Hera," said Harry's voice.

Hera showed a slight smile, followed Hagrid's footsteps, and walked towards the door of the Three Broomsticks.

"You want to spend your Christmas holidays at Hogwarts?" Dumbledore looked surprised, his blue eyes shining behind half-moon lenses.

Hera nodded slightly, "Of course, I think I'm still an honorary alumnus of Hogwarts, aren't I? In fact, I really want to die living in Hogwarts."

"Of course, Hera. As I said before, the door of Hogwarts is always open to you. You can temporarily live in the office on the fifth floor. I remember that there is still an empty office there. It only needs a little cleaning, which is enough."

"No problem at all, I will pack it up." Hera nodded, and then left straight away. It was very late, and the moon crawled into the middle of the starry sky.

Hera returned to the office, casually asked Cowper to clean up, and then sat on the chair and fell asleep. He sat in the corner of the room, and he had never been able to relax his vigilance against unfamiliar environments, even if it was Hogwarts.

Early the next morning, when Hera was enjoying breakfast in the auditorium, she met the man who took over his 'job' for the first time—Professor Remus Lupine, who looked old, with gray hair and ragged clothes.He looked haggard, pale, and tired.

But these are important people, he looks like a dark-bellied person, this is Hera's first instinct.In fact, this is unbelievable. After all, no matter how you look at it, a person with the word "black belly" written on his face can't be called black belly anyway, but he just gives people this feeling, probably because his eyes are too dark.

"Good morning, Mr. Lestrange, I heard your name a long time ago." Lupine looked very enthusiastic.

Hera was busy eating steak, and quickly put down her fork to shake hands with him, "Nice to meet you, Professor Lupine, I hope you enjoy your stay at Hogwarts, after all, these little wizards don't look like they will make people worry."

"Haha, it really took a lot of trouble for me to deal with them." Lupine laughed and sat next to Hera familiarly - in fact, Hera took his place.

Hera nodded slightly, his affection for the man in front of him increased a bit, at least he didn't look like him, it could be judged just by his hearty laughter.

It's just why someone with the surname Lupine has the surname 'Werewolf'?

(ps: lup means "wolf" in Latin, English lupine means "related to wolves", and in some French dialects, lupine means werewolf.)
If Hera hadn't spent half a school year in Beauxbatons, he probably wouldn't have connected the two words Lupine and werewolf.

"Ha, it's just a coincidence." Hera thought so in her mind, Dumbledore would not have found a werewolf to be Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Lupine seemed to be a calm, capable, and kind wizard. These conclusions could be drawn from the communication between Hera and him at breakfast alone. When talking about the things before teaching at Hogwarts, Hera couldn't help feeling more fond of Lupine.

They were all discriminated against in the same way, unable to find paid work in the UK, and even Lupine was even worse. He didn't even have the money to buy a decent dress, which made Hera have a great sense of commonality.

It's just that after breakfast, the two of them got to know each other very well. Hera didn't expect that he was so lonely, and he started talking to Lupine about the things he had never said to others.

From the embarrassment of finding a job after graduation to smuggling in Greece, they chatted about everything, and even forgot to find Penello.

If Penello hadn't walked to the guest table and snorted, Hera would really have forgotten her.

"Sorry sorry, I still have some things to do, Remus, next time we have time to continue talking."

"No problem, Hera, have fun!" Professor Lupine patted Hera's back lightly, and looked at Hera and Penello cheerfully. Penello looked a little embarrassed.

"Yes, yes." Hera took Penello's hand and left, and he took Penello to the new office upstairs.

"You—how are you doing recently?" Penello followed behind Hera, and Hera held her little hand tightly in her palm.

"It's not bad. How about you? You're in the seventh grade, and you're under a lot of pressure. Have you thought about where to work?" Hera slowed down and said softly. The students were eating in the auditorium at the moment, and there were very few people upstairs.

"Go to France, aren't you there anyway?" Penello shook her arms, enjoying the feeling of being with Hera. She hadn't seen Hera for about half a year.

"It's not bad, we can get closer then." Hera chuckled softly, he held Penello's hand tightly, and stared closely at Penello's light blue eyes.

"Next," Hera took out her wand and signaled Penello to do the same. She took out the wand with a bitter face, "The spell I'm about to demonstrate and teach you is a very advanced magic, Penello—this is much higher than the level of ordinary wizards, it is the Patronus Charm."

"Yes, Professor." Penello said bitterly, she just hoped that Hera could spend more time with her, and didn't really want to learn the Patronus Charm.

"When it works, it will summon a patron saint." Hera didn't care about Penelope, he needed her to have some self-protection ability in front of the dementors, so as not to encounter unexpected situations and even be unable to protect herself.

"A Patronus is something that protects against Dementors - a sort of guardian that acts as a shield between you and the Dementors."
