Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 46 Lupine’s Little Lesson ([-])

Lupine's small lessons for Harry were scheduled for every Saturday afternoon, but then Hermione and Ron were required to attend small lessons with Harry.Ron complained about this.

"I still want to watch George and Fred train," Ron complained, looking at the letter Professor McGonagall gave them.

"Because you are Harry's friend, that's all. And do you really not want to defeat Malfoy and his minions?" Hermione asked

"Of course...but...Hey...you're right." Ron wrote the paper "Essentials for Simple Transformation of Multiple Targets" on the homework paper. His handwriting could Write as big as you want.

"Don't take defeating Malfoy too seriously. No matter what, Malfoy can't compare to those prisoners who escaped from Azkaban. They are madmen who treat people like ants," Winters reminded.

"Um... Winters... are you there this Saturday..." Hermione suddenly turned around and asked him.

"Let me explain to you the difficult questions in today's Transfiguration class." Winters had already guessed Hermione's inner thoughts.

"How did you know...did you use Legilimency?" Hermione was surprised.

"Who do you think my brother is? He thinks Legilimency is voyeurism," Aurora said immediately dissatisfied.

"No... you misunderstood... I..." Hermione's face was full of embarrassment.

"In today's Transfiguration class, the ones that McGonagall praised the most were Elena and Delk. Winters was not praised because he did too much. He turned a pile of buttons and the table in front of him into a For the sake of fairness, Professor McGonagall had to exempt him from his homework. You were sitting diagonally across from Winters. After Professor McGonagall exempted him from his homework, I saw that you were so anxious that you threw away your wand. , Winters picked it up for you," Aurora said, wanting to laugh again.

"Yeah... but I'm really worried... The courses are already so difficult now, so by the fifth grade... Aren't you worried?" Hermione looked at Aurora anxiously.

"Why should I worry? In the worst case, I'll go play Quidditch." Aurora remained as nonchalant as ever.

"Okay, Hermione. Professor McGonagall clearly said that Aurora's works are masterpieces of astonishing imagination. Your evaluation is up to the requirements. Why are you worried about her?" Ron's head was covered with sweat. I am working hard on my thesis.Harry had finished writing, although judging from his expression, he would have preferred the paper to be thrown away as waste paper.

"Stop talking and write your paper quickly." Hermione glared at Ron angrily.

"How I wish McGonagall would forget about homework. My paper can only be used as material for Scabbers to use as a rat's nest." Ron looked at his paper as if he were looking at a pile of mud.

If Ron hadn't mentioned Scabbers, Winters would have forgotten about it.

"Ron, I suddenly remembered that you don't seem to be feeding that mouse much lately," Winters said.

"I feed him often, but you come back too late every day. Why do you ask?" Ron thought Winters wanted to feed his rats to the golden eagles, and looked at him warily.

"Don't look at me like that. I just want to know what kind of rat this rat is. After all, rats that live for 12 years are so rare," Winters said quickly.

"You...what do you want to do...use Scabbers as a test subject?" Before Ron could finish his words, Winters saw a vague figure flashing around the cardboard box containing the mouse Scabbers. , a squat figure.

"I told you, I'm just curious about what kind of rat it is. What if I want to buy it in the future? We are friends, why would I lie to you?" Winters found Ron's look very funny.

"Oh... Okay... Then you can watch Scabbers when I go to Lupin's little class this Saturday, but don't scare him, he is very timid," Ron said seriously.

"Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you with a piece of paper? You know that his level of transfiguration is very high," Harry said half-jokingly.Winters saw the vague, squat figure again out of the corner of his eye.This time it didn't just happen in a flash, it became continuous.

"No... I can't... I mean... Winters, you're not going to fool me with a piece of paper or anything... Even though it's just a mouse, it's You've been with me for 12 years. You're not going to use a piece of paper as my mouse after I come back." Ron was frightened.

"You can ask Professor McGonagall for help and see if that mouse is real after you come back." Winters said with certainty.

"That's more like it... I can lend you Scabbers for one afternoon, just this Saturday, but just for one afternoon." Ron hesitated very much.

"Ha, I knew you would agree." As Winter spoke, he kept looking at the box containing Ban Ban with his peripheral vision, and found that the figure had not disappeared.

Although the Dementors are in Hogwarts, they do not affect people's daily lives.No matter whether it was professors or students, they could only complain a few words when they saw those rag-like dementors that wanted to float in the distance.

On Saturday, Ron, Harry, and Hermione went to class.Winters was the only one left in the dormitory, and he decided to do a simple experiment first.

"You are no different from other mice... I think the library should have information on you... A mouse that has lived for at least 12 years but is still alive and kicking... is really rare." Winters looked at it Zhuo Banban said.

This big dark brown mouse jumped violently on the cardboard box, as if it wanted to break through the cardboard box, which was almost a dead end for it.But Winters had already sealed the box with a spell.

As soon as he arrived in the auditorium, he saw Aurora. She seemed to feel that something was wrong with Winters.

"You were staring at this mouse when you were talking to Ron a few days ago. Did you notice something?" Aurora asked almost in a whisper.

"Do you know something?" Winters also asked quietly.

"Elena told me that there is something abnormal about this mouse," Aurora said smartly.

"It's just a guess now. When I first noticed it, Ron said it would be afraid of Sirius. As soon as Ron said the name, a vague figure appeared around it." Winters briefly described the initial situation.

"So you want to go to the library to check its information?" Aurora was also looking at the cardboard box.

"Yes...and you must pay attention recently. If this mouse is really an Animagus, why has it been hiding in the form of a mouse for more than 12 years?" Winters was very alert.

"I can do it, and so can you. Although your magic skills are very powerful, don't be careless." Aurora was very worried.

"What are your plans today? It's not like you to wake up so early on the weekend." Winters said with a smile.

"You have been looking at that mouse with your peripheral vision the past few days. I felt that you had something on your mind, but I never had time to tell you, so I got up early on the weekend, and... you don't want any piece of crap. Go lie to Ron, he trusts you so much." Aurora felt that Winters would use Scabbers for experiments if he turned around.

"I can't, why did I lie to him?" Winters said immediately.

"That's good, I'm going to watch the training." Aurora finished drinking the juice and walked towards the door.

Winters started looking for books when he arrived at the library. He found at least 13 books that might be helpful.

"Another big project." Winters frowned and looked at the mountains of books.

"You won't gain anything by searching like this," a disembodied voice said.

Winters turned his head and saw a girl with big eyes, a silver necklace, and a wand stuck in her left ear looking at him.

"Who are you...how can I...I seem to have seen you at the sorting ceremony." Winters looked at the girl. He couldn't remember who the person in front of him was. His only impression was that he was at the sorting ceremony. , very blurry.

"I am Luna Lovegood, many people call me crazy girl. You are Winters Renault, you are swimming in the ocean of dark magic, and of course you cannot notice me standing on the island. "Luna's voice was very ethereal, as if it was not the voice of this world.

"Huh?...I...yeah...of course" Winters found it hard to understand what Luna said.

"Why are you looking for so many books?" Luna looked at the books piled up in a hill.

"Ron, Ron Weasley has a pet mouse named Scabbers. Scabbers' age is a bit abnormal...Have you ever heard of a mouse that is still full of energy after living for 12 years? And when Ron said this about Sirius Is this normal for a figure to appear next to a mouse?" Winters asked.

"That means this mouse is a magical animal. Magical animals are all magical animals. You should contact the Authority for Magical Animals," Luna said immediately.

"I've never heard of any magical animals that can understand human speech." Winters felt that Luna took it for granted.

"I know there is a magical animal that can understand human speech." Luna's eyes drifted out the window.

"What animal...I mean can you tell me what animal can understand human speech...I know very little about this" Winters tried not to sound rude.

"Yeqi, the Yeqi found me when my mother passed away due to an accident. I was crying at the time, and they knew I was sad, so they ran over to comfort me," Luna recalled calmly.

"You are here... I... Yes... Of course... Thestrals are very intelligent creatures." Winters swallowed the words on his lips. He didn't want to break Luna's beautiful imagination.He had a feeling that Luna really had no friends.

"What are you doing?" Winters felt that he couldn't continue to follow Luna.

"I want to complete the spell that my mother didn't finish at the time," Luna said, pointing to a large pile of manuscript paper on the table.

Winters walked over and found that it was covered with ancient runes, and many of the runes were made up of multiple basic runes.The runes he saw the most were "link", "soul" and "guard".

"Is your mother doing experiments? Experiments on the connection between soul and body... Your mother wants... to conquer death?" Winters almost shouted at the end.

"Yes, she thinks that as long as we can conquer death, we can defeat the mysterious man. She is a researcher at the Newn State Alchemy Center." After Luna finished speaking, she continued to study the symbols.

Winters didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only return to his seat and read the books stacked in a small mountain.As soon as he turned around, he found that Elena was already reading in his seat.

"Whether you can finish reading it or not, only Winters Reno can do it first by taking out all the books you may need," Elena said, looking at the mountain-like pile of books.

"But I finished reading it all in the end." Winters sat next to Elena.

"You deceived Ron's mouse. Then you came to the library to find it one by one according to its characteristics to see what kind of magical animals or mice it might be." Elena had already guessed that Winters wanted to What did you do?

"That's right. If it's not a magical animal or some kind of mouse, it will prove that it is an Animagus," Winters said immediately.

"Actually, I have a simple way." A sinister smile appeared on Elena's face.The smile startled Winters.

"Um...can you tell me and listen?" Winters asked warily.

"Just keep this mouse and your golden eagle together. The wizard will release violent magic fluctuations under severe fear, which will scare away many animals. You just need to observe the behavior of your golden eagle. "Elena's words made Banban move around in the carton.Winters could see the figure clearly now, a bald, stocky man with an unusually short neck.

"Elena, that is a raptor. Raptors will not run away when threatened. They will use their claws and claws to fight. I don't want to hurt the wind rider. Moreover, if this mouse is not an Animag Si, I can only use a piece of paper to lie to Ron." Winters immediately rejected Elena's proposal.

"Then you can only turn the book," Elena said with a yawn.

Winters looked at the books stacked into a small mountain, gritted his teeth, picked up the thickest book and started a difficult journey to the library.

It was already 8 p.m. when Winters came out of the library. He drank two glasses of water and ate an apple in one day.He found nothing in the library.I got to know a lot of magical animals.Fortunately, since many senior students were busy with their studies, the Hogwarts kitchen specially prepared late night snacks for them, so Winters did not go hungry.

When he returned to the common room, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were already there.They were excitedly discussing who had won more times.

"Only twice. The second time I tripped and fell," Hermione said as if she was pricked by a needle.

"I conjured that log," Ron was reasoning.

"Can you conjure a log out of thin air? Or do you know how to cast a spell... That's me... Winters?" Hermione stopped arguing with Ron after seeing Winters come back.

"I can't find what kind of mouse Scabbers is... Then... Ron, please check it... to see if it's still the same mouse." Winters handed the carton back to Ron.

"You're not going to lie to me. What should I check?" Ron said seriously.

"How was your little class?" Winters didn't want to discuss the mouse Scabbers anymore. He decided to take it one step at a time and just be more vigilant.

"It was very exciting. We had a real wizard duel... I think I can easily defeat Malfoy in the next duel arena," Hermione said happily.

"Of course you can do it Hermione... But it's very late now. I have Quidditch practice tomorrow." Harry was very tired, even more tired than Ron and Hermione.

"What's wrong with him?" Winters looked at the back of Harry's head in confusion.

"He is practicing the profound spell of Calling the God Guard in order to ward off the dementors. Professor Lupine found that the dementors have a greater impact on him than anyone else." Hermione was very worried about whether Harry could cope with such a heavy task.

Winters looked at Ron playing with his mouse and couldn't help but wonder if it was time to tell Ron about his worries.
