Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Indeed, Sirius succeeded in making Sant fall in love with the dog, no matter how much Sant disliked it before.

"God, you are so smart!" Sante stroked the hair of the big black dog, "You are the smartest dog I have ever seen."

Gray sat on the sofa and read the newspaper without even glancing at it. He was used to it. He had heard his father's praise countless times these days.Sirius was well taken care of by Sant, and his hair was no longer as dirty and dry as it was at the beginning. Now it became dark and shiny, and his body gradually became stronger, becoming a majestic big black dog.

It was finally the day when school started. After Gray changed into his robe, he took out two pieces of bread from the kitchen and handed them to the big black dog. The two of them simply dealt with the two bites.

"Why do you always feed other people food? It's not good for their health." Santer looked at Gray's attire, "Are you going to take Neil (the name Santer named) away?"

"Of course, it has recovered, and it cannot be kept in the house forever. It should go out for a walk now and see the outside world."

"Well, I was thinking, there are all kinds of strange creatures over there with all kinds of weird magics. What if Neil accidentally gets injured when he rushes around randomly? He doesn't know any magic, he's just a smart dog. "

"It is very smart and knows what is dangerous." Gray glanced at Sirius, "Such a smart dog might also be able to learn some magic."

"It has never seen those weird things -" Sant said, "You wizards can do magic, but it doesn't know it yet. How will it protect itself then?"

"..."

Gray looked at him with some surprise. Is this his father who just started to dislike the big black dog?

Sante muttered for a long time before saying one sentence: "I...I just can't bear to part with it..."

"Woo-woo--" the black dog howled twice, ran in front of Sante, plucked his trouser legs with his front paws, circled around his feet again, and slapped him twice with his big black tail. , then retreated behind Gray.

"Look, it's very grateful to you, but it also wants to go out for a walk. You can't be so heartless, right?"

"Okay..." Sante felt a little distressed, "You have to take good care of it, don't let it get hurt, especially pay attention to those monsters and monsters, don't let him provoke them."

……

The night before the students took the train to report, the professors had returned to Hogwarts. There were no noisy students in the auditorium, only a long dining table in the center, and the professors gathered together.

"Long time no see, Professor Morris." Trelawney passed by him lightly, "My dear, are you okay? I saw a person following you in the crystal ball before..."

After saying that, she sat down on the other side in a daze.

Gray felt chills running down his spine. Such irritating words came just after the start of school.

Mag pursed her lips, a little unhappy. She had always been dissatisfied with Trelawney for always walking up to Gray and saying some godly words or some bad prophecies to scare the young man.

Everyone sat down, but Gray noticed that there was no one sitting next to him.

"I'm so happy that we are sitting together again," Dumbledore smiled, "but before enjoying the delicious food, I have some things to tell you. First of all, the Ministry of Magic has sent some helpers to perform official duties, and our school will welcome a few... The Dementors of Azkaban, they're stationed at every entrance to the school."

"Although I don't agree with this approach." Dumbledore added.

Several professors did not speak, their expressions were solemn. Everyone had more or less heard the news from the Ministry of Magic - Black had gone crazy and kept muttering "He is at Hogwarts" in his sleep. He was rushing. Came with Harry.

Gray was relieved. Black, whom the Ministry of Magic wanted to guard against, was now near Hogsmeade.

"Secondly, I want to announce our new professors. We are about to welcome two new members, but there is one you should all be familiar with. Hagrid will serve as the Career of Magical Creatures vacancy due to the retirement of Professor Kettleburn. Course Professorship.”

Several professors applauded. In fact, everyone already knew it, because professors would determine the required teaching materials one month in advance and report them to McGonagall. Only Hagrid would ask students to buy a book that bites people.

"Thank you, thank you Professor Dumbledore...thank you everyone..." Hagrid said shyly.

His face was a little red, and Gray could tell that he was very happy, very happy, and his big smile was hidden behind the shaggy and tangled black beard.

"Congratulations, Hagrid." McGonagall was very happy, and she patted Hagrid gently to express her congratulations.

"The second one, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he didn't come to the scene today, but we have made room for him." Dumbledore looked at the empty chair next to Gray, "Remus Lu (Snape could hardly sit still after hearing this name at this time), he will fill the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts. I understand that some of us have been his professors and know something about him. But out of respect, I would like to inform you here that Professor Luping is a werewolf, but I hope this matter will end here and only we professors will know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

"Let me say this, Headmaster, it is very dangerous to hire a werewolf as a professor." Snape said with a sullen face, "You really have to insist..."

"I told you, I trust him very much, and as long as some precautions are taken, there is no reason not to let him enter Hogwarts." Dumbledore barely paid attention to Snape's expression and just replied calmly. He said, "Actually, I need your help here. Please come to the office later. I have something to say to you, Severus."

Snape was very unhappy when he heard this answer. He clenched his fists tightly, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions and did not refute again.

"I can see that the world in front of Professor Lupin is bright." Trelawney said quietly, "Everything in front of him is beautiful and pure white."

When Snape heard this, his eyes stayed on the empty table in front of him, and the expression on his face seemed to become even colder.

Gray glanced at Trelawney. She seemed serious. Lupine has a bright future?Really?Did his plan to capture Peter Pettigrew lead to a change in the trajectory of Lupine's life?

"Although I don't know how you saw it when you didn't even come to the scene, I hope your words are somewhat effective this time. You finally said something good." Mag interjected.

"That's all I have to say," said Dumbledore.

……

After the dinner, everyone dispersed, and Snape stood up first and left behind Dumbledore.

"Filius, what do you think of this matter?" Sprout and Flitwick asked suddenly when they stopped by.

"I don't want to say too much, Pomona," Flitwick adjusted his glasses, "Werewolves are indeed very dangerous. There are many students in the school. Once an accident occurs, it will be difficult to control it in time-"

"If Professor Dumbledore recommends a candidate, he must know whether it is safe or not. Besides, since he is a werewolf..." Sprout said, "Werewolves are forced to become such dangerous creatures, and wizards will become werewolves. They are usually forced, and some of them are not bad in nature, so we can’t treat them differently, right?”

"Lupine has a very good character. I know he is a kind person." McGonagall said next to him. "Why don't you give him a chance? I believe he will do a good job. And since Professor Dumbledore trusts him, there will be no problem." .”

"Yes, yes, I am not dissatisfied with Lupine coming to Hogwarts. You are all speaking for him, I understand, but you cannot conclude that he is safe just based on your own emotional factors."

Flitwick's beard curled up, and he took a breath, trying to raise his head to look at the two of them.

''What I mean is that we cannot ignore the dangers of werewolves, and we can give it a try if we take perfect measures.Dumbledore was right to take measures, and it would be beneficial for the students and even Lupin himself for the school to take some measures, which would allow him to stay in this position for a long time, just like when he was at school - he became a prefect, And graduated successfully.I think Dumbledore just called Severus over, probably because he wanted him to brew wolfsbane potion, a medicine that can alleviate the symptoms of werewolves' transformation and prevent werewolves from losing their minds after transformation. This will be of great help to Lupine. benefit……"

Gray overheard the conversation of several deans, and it seemed that everyone was very accepting of Lupine.But Flitwick is right. Even if you know a person's character well, you cannot ignore the objective fact that werewolves are dangerous. After all, when they completely transform into wolf form, werewolves will completely lose their consciousness as humans.

……

Gray arrived at Hogsmeade, and it was getting dark. He followed the street and came out of a path, and Apparated into the woods a few kilometers away.There were no lights in the woods, not as bright as in the village. The branches and leaves blocked the sky, making his surroundings darker.

As soon as he stepped on the soft ground that had been paved with fallen leaves for many years, he saw a big dark guy walking over with a pair of bright eyes.

Gray took out the deformed lizard skin bag from before, and took out a bunch of food such as sausages, turkey sandwiches, baked potatoes, meat pancakes, etc.

"I can't come here every day..." Gray took out another large bag of dog food, "So you can only give yourself a hard time and eat some of this when necessary."

"Wang!"

"Again, if you run away or..."

"Wang! Wang!"

"Hogwarts has made it clear that there will be dementors to guard it, and Hogsmeade is no exception. Don't..."

"Wang!"

Gray sighed, Sirius interrupting him so he wouldn't have to say it again.This time, he has been settled. The next thing to do is to catch Fat Mouse and clear his name.
