Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 260 Dumbledore's Invitation

"It's him, I know him."

After searching the memory, Little Barty turned his head excitedly and said.

Voldemort nodded and said, "Does this werewolf know where Lupine lives in his memory?"

Little Barty shook his head, but he didn't wait for Voldemort to be disappointed, and immediately said: "He has seen Lupine when he passed the Highland Bar a few times, and last year was the last time."

"Dumbledore looked for you last year?" Voldemort said, turning to Greyback.

"Yes." he replied.

Voldemort nodded, then glanced at the kneeling werewolves and said, "Delete their memories."

"Which one?" Old Nott asked.

"Every."

……

Greengarry Forest is located in Scotland and it covers more than 4 acres.

In the vast forest, there are too many secrets hidden:
Goblin tribes, unicorn herds, all kinds of magical creatures, vampires, werewolves, and even a solitary wizard.

With so many people hiding here, one more werewolf who can do magic is not so noticeable.

Remus Lupine, the werewolf hiding here.

He built a tree house in the forest, which is very secluded, and this is his usual residence.

Not far from the tree house, there is a semi-enclosed cave, where he would lock himself whenever the moon was full.

It has to be said that he is a kind werewolf.

On this day, he woke up early in the morning as usual, and went to the stream to fetch water to wash.

When he was about to return to the tree house, he saw a tall and familiar figure from a distance.

He was not surprised, but he didn't step forward immediately.

Apparated back to the tree house, Lupine walked out of the tree house after taking out a set of shabby but clean wizard robes from the box and putting them on.

"Principal, what can you do for me?" Lupine asked the tall figure with his back turned to him.

The white-haired old man who was looking at the rising sun turned his head and showed a big smile.

"Remus, did I have to come to you for something?" Dumbledore's voice was full of his affection for Lupin.

Lupine smiled, restrained, but clearly happy.

"I still suggest that you stay at my home in Godric's Hollow. There has been no one there."

Dumbledore said, waving his wand to conjure tables and chairs, and motioned for Lupine to sit down and talk.

"I don't want to cause trouble for you, principal, and I don't want to cause trouble for Godric's Hollow. The wizards there don't have the habit of being neighbors with werewolves."

Lupine said as he sat down, his voice was soft and sounded very comfortable.

"I'll convince them..."

"That's why I don't want to go, Headmaster, I'm already very happy to be able to study at Hogwarts."

Lupine showed a rather sunny smile, matched with his washed white clothes, he looked so clean.

"You always make me feel bad, child, you know, I am willing to do more for you, you are like my child." Dumbledore said with some emotion, he even rubbed the corners of his eyes.

Lupine just smiled and said nothing, but everything looked very harmonious.

Dumbledore adjusted his emotions, raised his wand again and asked, "Butterbeer?"

Lupine nodded immediately, with a rare look of excitement on his face.

Dumbledore showed a childlike smile, and waved his wand like a magic trick to conjure two glasses of beer on the table.

"Give this to me."

He swiped one of the glasses in front of him, and pushed the other to Lupine, "This one is for you."

Lupine took the beer, but the excitement faded from his face.

"What's the matter with your right hand, Headmaster?"

He asked suspiciously, because Dumbledore was using his left hand during the drinking process just now.

But Lupine's memory told him that the headmaster didn't like to use his left hand for other things while holding the wand.

"A little injury." Dumbledore raised his right hand and said, "It's not serious, but it needs to rest for a while."

Lupine frowned. He wanted to ask more questions, but Dumbledore motioned for him to drink.

The understanding Lupine didn't ask any more questions. He took a sip of the beer, but he didn't look as happy as before.

Dumbledore knew that he would not be happy again unless he explained the source of his injury, an explanation that actually reassured Lupine.

But he can't do that without lying.

So he looked down at his right hand and decided it was better not to say these things.

"Remus." Dumbledore said, taking a sip of his beer, "I need your help at Hogwarts."

"what?"

Lupine was taken aback.

If Dumbledore had asked him for help, he would have done it, but Hogwarts...

He really doesn't fit in there.

"We hired several bad Dark Defense professors in a row, Remus, believe me, if I hadn't fired Lockhart, Hogwarts would have been flooded with letters from his fans, I would have fired him long ago."

When Dumbledore was speaking, he made an exaggerated gesture, which made Lupine laugh "hehe".

When Lupine stopped smiling and was about to refuse, Dumbledore stopped him.

"Potion of Wolfsbane, Lupine, he can solve your problems."

Dumbledore gave a solution to the problem, "You just need to hide in the office every full moon night, if this still doesn't make you feel at ease, I am willing to guard by your side."

Lupine's eyes were full of gratitude, but there was still a worried expression on his face.

"Help me, Remus, I'm getting farther and farther away from being one of Hogwarts' greatest headmasters, just because there have been too many unreliable Dark Defense professors during my tenure. "

Dumbledore began to play pity, which amused Lupine again, but it was still hard for him to make up his mind to go there.

"Professor Quirrell, the principal, he is a good professor, I read about it in the newspaper." Lupine gave another solution.

Dumbledore scratched his head, his expression looked complicated, Lupine didn't understand what that meant.

"The curse does not allow him to serve again, and you can only teach for one year, Remus. I don't know who else I can find besides you."

Dumbledore chose to hide, and Lupine fell silent after hearing this.

Neither of them spoke anymore, only the birds on the tree chirped, which attracted Dumbledore to look over.

"I'm here, and I can help you observe werewolves. If you leave..."

"That's not necessary for now, Remus."

Dumbledore looked away from the bird and said, "It's more important to me that you go to Hogwarts, and besides, there is a child who needs your teaching."

Lupine opened his mouth to ask who it was, but he suddenly froze.

At this moment, his eyes, which had always been calm, suddenly became complicated.

The memory seemed to break the embankment, rushing out of the mind crazily, and the uncontrollable sadness appeared, which was visible to the naked eye.

"Oh, Remus, my boy."

Dumbledore got up, walked around the table to Lupin's side, and gently rested his head on his waist.

He could understand the child's grief.

But sadly, the kid never expressed his grief.

When will you be happy, Lupine?
