Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 261 You Wake Up, Moon Face?
Lupine was glad that Dumbledore hadn't pressed him to agree.

But the incident still disturbed his heart and kept him awake at night.

He was lying in the wooden house, with his hands folded behind his head, staring at the roof by the moonlight.

That was the only flat board in the whole house.

There are four crude images drawn on the wooden board, a big dog wagging its tail on the left, a jumping mouse on the right, a wolf curled up on the ground in the middle, and a rather strong stag with its head held high.

The four animals, which are not related to cows and horses, are not as opposed to each other as they are in reality.

They are painted together very harmoniously, and each face is filled with smiles.

If you look closely, there is a line of small characters under the four animals, which read:

Prongs, Moon Face, Wormtail, Padfoot.

"Almost 13 years old."

Lupine suddenly muttered something to himself, and then he really couldn't sleep.

After staring at the roof for a while, he couldn't help getting up and using a lighting technique, then rummaged through the box for a while, and took out paper and pen:
Dear Principal:
I don't know if this decision is correct, but since hearing your proposal, my heart has been restless.

At Hogwarts, I had too many happy times, which are memories that I cherish and cannot forget till now.

Although I am afraid of hurting those children, there are still people I want to see there.

So, I still decided to go there and have a look. If I can live up to your trust and help him, that would be great.

But I still hope you think carefully, if there are other suitable candidates...

……

Lupine wrote a long letter in which he repeated his fears and hesitations over and over again.

He didn't stop writing until he saw that a piece of paper was full, and then took out the envelope and sealed it.

Afterwards, he put the letter beside him and closed his eyes contentedly.

This time, he finally fell asleep and had a rare dream.

In the dream, he and his three friends were playing happily under a swinging willow tree.

I really hope this dream won't stop, but it's a pity that the sun comes out too early.

The next day, he went to the stream to wash up as usual, but after returning to the tree house, he became restless.

He hesitated to deliver the letter, and it made him forget breakfast.

He didn't make up his mind to send this letter until his stomach woke him up.

"The owl can be borrowed from you, Lupine, but you'll buy me a drink."

The old witch who lost one of her front teeth said while scratching her window.

"I don't have any money, Jenny, you know," Lupine said with a smile, "but I can give you some game, you know I make good food."

Jenny glanced at the prey in Lupin's hands, rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that Greyback took his team by here, and they went to the Highland Bar, do you want to go?"

Lupine was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "Jenny, you always have a way."

The old witch bared her teeth and smiled, looking very scary.

Lupine raised the prey and glanced at it, and said, "This should be worth a few glasses of wine, let's go together?"

"of course."

Jenny replied with a smile, and then closed the window with a "bang".

Lupine knew she would have to wait a while, because Jenny had to do her dressing for a long time.

This made him a little anxious, afraid of missing Greyback's team.

Those werewolves were causing trouble everywhere and living in no fixed place. It was not easy to meet them once.

Fortunately, Jenny didn't waste too long this time, and soon after, she dressed up and walked out—she even got a fake front tooth by magic.

"You should fix it, Jenny, it's such a hassle to do it every time," Lupine said to her on the way.

"That will change my fortune, Lupine, you should learn how to divination." Jenny said proudly.

Lupine stopped talking, and the two soon came to the Highland Bar.

It was one of the few pleasures of Greengarry Woods, and there were some wizards here every day.

When Greyback's team arrived, it got even more lively, and wild.

Pushing open the door, Lupine felt the fanaticism and the unclean smell.

He soiled his clothes on the way, but he didn't smell that unclean because he never ate raw flesh.

Even though he was bitten and became a werewolf since he was a child, he still lived a normal life.

It was very tough, but he did it.

After glancing at the bar, Lupine found his target.

"Go sit there, Jenny."

As Lupine said, he went straight to a silly-looking werewolf at the bar.

"Big Nick, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Big Nick said something stupidly, and then he sniffed, as if to confirm his smell.

"You are too clean, eat more meat."

He muttered something, and then drank the wine to himself.

"There happens to be a game, but I'll trade it for wine."

As Lupine said, he called the bartender to change the drinks. Of course, he would be looked down upon, but Lupine got used to it.

Jenny, who can't drink well, drank two more glasses of spirits, and soon joined the dance floor and disappeared from Lupin's side.

"Where are you going, Big Nick?"

Lupine raised his glass and asked seemingly casually.

"Who knows, just listen to the boss."

Big Nick clinked glasses with him, and then took a hard gulp.

Lupine knew that this meant Greyback's team was fine, they were just passing by.

So he drank a few more drinks with the other party and was about to leave, but when he said so, Big Nick rarely asked him to take a sip.

"Really?"

Lupine was very surprised. Could it be that this stupid big man regarded himself as a friend?

"Really, clean werewolves, we are friends."

Big Nick seemed to be drinking too much, he carried the wine given to Lupin, and put it in front of Lupine danglingly.

Lupine didn't want to drink anymore, he felt a little over the top.

But the other party gave him his favorite butter beer, and this wine has no alcohol...

So he took the wine glass, bumped into Big Nick, and quickly wiped it out.

"I'm leaving, Big Nick, to get myself ready for the night..."

As he spoke, Lupine felt his tongue start to curl, and then he felt drowsy, and his feet felt weak.

In sight, Big Nick showed a smile that didn't look stupid at all: "I'll take you home, we are friends."

This was Lupine's last memory, and after that he was limp and about to collapse.

He didn't know what happened after that.

But in his deep sleep, he felt the memory surging, and the Occlumency began to operate automatically, but it seemed that the effect was not very good.

Slowly, he was awakened by chaotic memories, and then he heard a haughty voice say: "Little Barty, get out of here, your body smells too bad."

"I just impersonated Big Nick, gotta be perfect, no?"

Another voice said so.

Lupine was immediately aware of the danger, and he fought against the lethargy in his mind, thinking about how to deal with it.

However, at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded:

"Are you awake, Moonface?"
