Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"Yes," Lupine blew into the hot tea cup, "Snape is indeed a little dissatisfied with me, but it doesn't matter, I will take care of this matter. Thank you for reminding me."

"Professor Snape was even harsher on Neville because of the Boggart incident." Gray glanced at Snape, who was sitting on the other side of the teacher's bench not far away, chewing something with a straight face.

"Oh? He vented his anger on the students again." Lu Ping smiled lightly, with a bit of shame on his face, "Actually, Snape and I are classmates. I originally wanted to make a long-lost joke, by the way. I tried to save the situation for Neville, but I didn’t expect that it would cause Neville trouble instead.”

"Really? I didn't expect you to be classmates. What was Professor Snape like as a student?" Gray said, stopping the knife and fork in his hand, "I'm quite curious. Do you often joke with each other?"

"Yes, when I was in school at Hogwarts, I would run into Snape from time to time. We would often have mischief and make pranks to make each other look embarrassed."

"I don't think you are a person who often makes jokes, Remus, you are very gentle and steady," Gray said half-jokingly, "I thought you would be a good student in school——"

"Actually, I mostly follow Zhan...my good friends to make pranks, but, you know? Everyone is naughty sometimes, but as you grow up, you will become more measured. ." He paused for a moment and then said calmly, "Actually, I was the same as all the children when they were in school."

Lupine must have felt lucky that when he was 11 years old, Dumbledore found his home and asked him to go to school like an ordinary child.

Gray glanced at the little wizards sitting in the auditorium. Malfoy's bandage was very conspicuous. Everyone was sitting at the long table enjoying the food, talking and laughing. He had a sad face, and his eyes were looking at each other from time to time. Glancing at Hagrid's vacant seat, he was discussing something with Pansy Parkinson next to him.

He was very curious. If Voldemort had been killed before threatening the Malfoy family and Malfoy had not experienced a brutal collapse, would he really turn back?If only Malfoy had had a friend around him from the beginning who could put him on the right side...

"Well... you are like all students, but you are not the same. Having good friends is much better than others. Not everyone can meet friends who have good relationships... and can even 'save' themselves." Gray Said casually.

Lupine didn't respond. He lowered his head and concentrated on cutting the steak. He definitely heard Gray speak, but pretended that he didn't notice.

The two were silent for a moment.

"Professor Snape won't 'get revenge' on you, will he?" Gray said with a smile, breaking the silence.

"It's possible," Lupine raised his eyebrows, "But do you remember what Sybil said?"

"That prophecy?"

Lupine raised his hand holding the fork a little higher, imitating Trelawney's habitual movements: "She said to me - 'The road ahead of you is bright.' With these words, my confidence increased. A lot."

"It seems that you believe in Trelawney." Gray was surprised by this prophecy at the time. In the original novel, Trelawney never said anything about Lupin's bright future.

"To be precise, I believe Professor Dumbledore," he said pleasantly. "He must have a reason for hiring Sybil, and Sybil must have some ability to teach at Hogwarts for so many years."

"That's true." Gray smiled and said no more.

……

In one minute, the class bell was about to ring, and Gray saw that there was still an empty seat next to Harry and Ron's seats.

Where has Hermione gone?

"Now everyone, come and collect the stones you need today." Gray said, opening the lid of the wooden box, "Warm reminder, the stones in this class are special. Don't use magic on it easily before I give my permission."

Ron came over and took two rocks.

"One piece is enough for each of us, Ron."

"I'm helping Hermione get it." Ron held a stone on each side and held them in his arms, "Ha, it's a little heavy..."

The class bell rang, and just as Gray placed the wooden box on the side of the podium, a shout came from behind.

"oops!"

"Ouch!"

Then there was a sound of crackling stones breaking.

"What's going on!" Gray turned around and saw Ron lying on the ground.

"Hahahaha!" Malfoy laughed not far away, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I can't even move a stone. My two hands are not as stable as my bandaged arm."

"Shut up! Malfoy." Harry turned and glared at him.

"Hermione, what are you doing!" Ron got up angrily and said to Hermione sitting next to him.

"What?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"Why did you suddenly move the stool and let the stool legs trip me!"

"I tripped you? I'm sitting here and not moving at all!"

"You didn't move? You obviously weren't sitting here just now! Now that you're sitting here, you must have just sat down and then moved the legs of the bench while I wasn't paying attention!"

"Okay, Ron." Harry tugged on Ron's robe and whispered.

"Are you kidding, Ron, you lost your balance and tripped and blamed my bench leg?" said Hermione.

"It's not your fault, it's the truth." Ron suppressed his face and turned red. He picked up another unbroken piece from the ground and placed it on the table. "I don't know where you came from. Anyway, you tripped and fell." I."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this, it's unreasonable," Hermione said.

"Who is unreasonable?!" Ron was furious.

"Why don't you two go to my office after class to talk some sense into each other?" Gray interjected quietly.

The other students in the classroom burst into laughter.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Professor." Hermione looked embarrassed.

"Yes... I'm sorry." Ron glanced at Gray and then at the gravel on the ground.

"Ten points from Gryffindor." Gray waved his wand and swept the ground clean.

……

"It's called angel stone (note: anhydrite CaSO4). Its crystal form is similar to that of gypsum, but only the large blue ones are called angel stones." Gray held a large piece, and the stone was refracted by light and turned bright blue. The color is very beautiful. "The main part of the magic of this stone is the concentration of peace, which makes people feel calm and increases concentration to discover more subtle details. Although it is very complicated as a treatment medicine and requires grinding and refining. A series of operations such as control, etc., but in fact, you only need to use magic light to shine on the person's forehead through this stone, which can also make people calm and alert to a certain extent... But, I said you can't use magic at will. ,because--"

There was a loud "Bang!", followed by a brief sound of crackling gravel. The entire classroom fell silent, and everyone looked towards the first row.

Hermione was holding her wand, and the stone in front of her had been broken into small pieces and scattered on the table.

"Merlin..." Ron's eyes widened, "You scared me."

"Oh my God..." Hermione looked at everything in front of her in surprise.

"The prophecy came true..." Harry whispered, looking at the gravel on the table.
