Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Snape's face was very long.

Gray racked his brains to think of countermeasures, but he couldn't think of a way to drive Snape away. From the beginning of the school year to now, as he communicated with Lupine more and more often, Gray clearly felt that Snape was attracted to him. Suspicious, and now he was found sneaking around in a dark corner, and there was no way to get rid of it.He could only gamble that Snape didn't know that Sirius was an Animagus, or that he couldn't recognize Sirius' Animagus appearance.

"Step aside!"

Snape pushed Gray hard, then took out his wand, walked around the pillar, and quickly walked into the blind spot behind Gray.

Gray took two steps back slightly and looked in, only to see Snape standing there alone. There was nothing in the dark corner except the statue just now - the big black dog was gone.

"What are you hiding?" Snape said coldly.

"It's nothing," Gray said with a relieved heart, "I told you just now, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe it."

Snape turned around and stood in front of Gray. He stared at Gray and said nothing, but Gray could see that he really wanted to know something from himself.

At this time, the bell in the clock tower rang, the rhythm of the school bell.

"If I remember correctly, the first-year students are waiting for their Potions professor, Professor Snape, in the basement." Gray said, "Go to class quickly, Professor."

"You have no right to order me to go anywhere!" Snape's thin lips twisted, his anger written on his face.

"But duties and obligations can be imposed. You are a professor, Mr. Snape," Gray said. "Professors are expected to be in the right place at the appointed time."

If this had been in school, Gray would never have imagined that one day he would speak like this to the Potions Professor who had become a shadow in many people's school days.If Arnold knew about it, he would definitely say: "You are so brave! Gray!"

Snape's face was twisted with anger.

"Don't try to lie to me." He gritted his teeth and said, "Dumbledore is not your protector. I will expose your tricks!"

Then he turned around suddenly, his robes whirring, and he quickly left here.

Finally, Gray checked the corner again. He guessed that the statue might be a secret passage in Hogwarts. He fumbled around and couldn't find a way to open the secret passage. However, in order to prevent others from hitting him again, he did not How long to stay here.

……

As of the afternoon class, everything was normal, and Snape never came to see Gray.

"Good afternoon, Gray." Lupine greeted with a smile.

When Gray walked out of the office, he met Lupine. He was about to go to the classroom to teach. Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and Gray's own office were both on the fourth floor. He often met the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts on the way to class. , last year it was Lockhart, and this year it was Lupin.

Lupine came back after a few days' leave. He looked as if he was ill. His old robes were baggier and there were dark shadows under his eyes.

"Good afternoon." Gray understood what Lupine had gone through the past few days. The professors all knew it, and everyone knew it in their hearts, but they would never mention it.

"How's it going? Have you said hello to Logan Aarons?" Lupine asked, "He's the hunter I told you about before."

"No, I haven't cared about it yet. A lot of things have happened recently," Gray said. "But thank you very much, Remus, for solving a big problem for me."

"No need to thank me, Gray, I didn't help much." Lu Ping said humbly, "This is just a very common thing."

"Harry! Stop thinking about those things. There was a black dog in Hogwarts. I saw it with my own eyes -" Hermione said following Harry in the corridor.

"Hermione -" said Ron, "stop talking, okay? That's not a good thing!"

"But this is a fact!" Hermione said firmly, "The fact is that the black dog is around, but even so, Harry is fine and safe now! The unknown itself is a lie!"

Lupine was stunned for a moment. He and Gray were walking side by side, but he stopped talking to Gray and listened intently to the conversation of three children not far away.

"You're just a coward, aren't you? Brot?" Malfoy passed them, "You can't even take down a dog—"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Malfoy!" Ron shouted, "You deserve a beating again, don't you?"

"I saw a dog in the Quidditch stands that day. Poor Potter couldn't handle another dog. So I had to ask the professor to take action - Maurice ran to the stands opposite to drive away the black dog for you. Our savior company Even dogs are afraid! You need to be escorted by several people when riding a broomstick!" Malfoy said, "How about I make a circle around you and let others guard you? It feels better to be surrounded by people this way."

"Shut up! Malfoy! There is no professor to help me get rid of the black dog!" Harry retorted, "Also, it's Professor Morris, not Morris!"

But Hermione stopped talking. She thought of what she saw this morning: when she found an inconspicuous corner and turned the time turner - she found Professor Morris holding a wand facing the black man in the corner. dog.

"Poor!" Malfoy laughed loudly, "Potter! Savior! Afraid of dogs!"

"Do you want me to punch you to relieve your boredom?" Ron shouted, "Or do you want to taste the feeling of a crocodile's heart smashing into your face again?"

"Mind your own business! Poor Weasley! You worry about this rat all day long! Are you a rat that has been passed down from generation to generation from your grandfather?"

After hearing this, Ron raised his fists as if to rush over.

"Ron!" Hermione pulled Ron desperately.

"Don't stop me!" Ron gasped in anger, "I'm going to beat him today!"

"Your mouth smells so bad because you haven't brushed your teeth for a long time, right?" Harry was very angry. "Shut up now, Malfoy! Don't let your bad breath pollute the environment!"

"You'd better wash your mouth! After all, you have to use it to catch the Golden Snitch!" Malfoy made a vomiting expression, and Goyle and Crabbe laughed behind him.

"What happened?" Lupine walked over, "I think it's time for you to go to class, right?"

"Professor Lupin!" Ron sighed, "You are finally back!"

Malfoy saw that Gray was there and stopped talking.He looked at the two professors, then glanced at Harry mockingly, and then entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Ron saw Malfoy's expression and almost rushed to punch him, but Hermione kept stopping him. She didn't say anything and just pushed Harry and Ron into the classroom together.

"Then, I'll go upstairs." Gray said goodbye to Lupine.

"Wait a moment, Gray." Lupine stood there, "I just heard what Draco Malfoy said...did you really see a big black dog?"

Gray looked at Lupine and paused for a moment.

"Yes."

"Who is its owner?" Lupine asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe a stray dog." Gray said casually.

"Do you know where it ended up?" Lupine was a little cautious, "I'm sorry, I'm just very interested in that dog."

"Well... I don't know where it went," Gray pretended to smile sheepishly, "I wanted to drive it away, but when I went to the stage, I found that it was gone."

"Okay, I understand." Lupine nodded, thinking about something, "Thank you, Gray, I'm going to class."
