[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Harry's reaction to Professor Lupin being a werewolf was confusing.

He originally made an appointment with Professor Lupin at eight o'clock on Thursday night, but it was almost o'clock and he hadn't set off yet. He sat on the sofa in the lounge with a heavy face, absentmindedly playing wizard chess with Ron.

Tom and Hermione pulled out of their homework pile and looked at each other quietly - Hermione shrugged.

The clueless Ron was comforting his overly excited chessmen, and comforting Harry's chessmen who were swearing and had begun to refuse to obey instructions - failed, then looked at the time and suddenly asked: "Harry, didn't you have an appointment with Professor Lupin? Are you going to be late?"

"Huh? Huh? Oh." Harry responded dully, and stood up slowly. Ever since Hermione told him Professor Lupin's true identity, it was as if a hundred molesters were flying into his mind - a kind of pest that is said to be invisible to the human eye, but can fly into people's brains from their ears and trap people into it. Chaotic magical creatures - he heard about this fantasy species from a Ravenclaw girl.

It wasn't that he had any idea about Professor Lupine's werewolf identity. He had never really seen a werewolf, and the few words of description in the textbook were not enough to make him feel any real fear, not to mention that there were more in the textbook. Talking about how to identify and kill werewolves...

Professor Lupine is a werewolf? It was as if the werewolf in the book suddenly took on physical form. But why would anyone want to kill Professor Lupin? He couldn't help but think that werewolves weren't that scary after all. Professor Lu Ping is a very good person. He has a good way of teaching. He is gentle and patient with his students. He is very frugal with himself, but he is not stingy when it comes to rewarding students. He is also a friend of his parents...

He is also a friend of his parents.

Sirius Black was also a friend of his parents.

Professor Lupine is a werewolf.

Then...does he know that Black can turn into a big black dog?

So...why didn't anyone else know that Black might be appearing as a dog?

Is he a friend of his parents, or a friend of Sirius Black?

But Harry could sense that Professor Lupine's concern and preference for him were genuine, which made his mind a mess. For a while, he didn't know how to face Professor Lupine. 7K妏揩

Gryffindors never run away! Harry encouraged himself in his mind and walked heavily with his wand.

"Should we follow and watch?" Hermione asked.

Ron burst into laughter first: "Why are you still watching? Could it be that Professor Lupine will eat him?"

He looked at his two expressionless friends, his smile getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.

"What..." Ron scratched his head in confusion, "Are you really worried that Lupine will eat him?"

"Go ahead and play your wizarding chess game," Hermione answered him coldly.

"Inexplicable." Ron said, unhappily carrying the chessboard to find someone else to play chess with.

At the same time Tom also started to pack his things.

"What's the matter?" Hermione asked, pressing her homework book uncertainly, "Are we going to watch?"

"I don't think Professor Lupine would do anything to Harry," Tom replied.

"Seriously?" Hermione stared at him, and her fingers began to fiddle with the corners of the book unconsciously, curling it up, smoothing it out, and then curling it up again. "I bet Harry can't help but ask him, starting with whether he is really a werewolf. He has never been able to hold back questions about those he is close to. Harry is an open friend."

"Then what? Are you worried that Professor Lupine will be silenced because of this?" Tom asked, "I don't think he would be so irrational. After all, he is a friend of Harry's parents -"

He stopped suddenly.

"That's the problem!" Hermione said in a low voice, "That Sirius was also a friend of Harry's parents. He would definitely be unable to help himself -"

They stared at each other for a moment.

"What are you worried about? Will Harry ask him about Black and then go after Black?" Tom asked, "Will this be any different from what Harry was trying to do before? Lupine won't help him, no matter what Whether his friendship is biased, whether he wants to protect Black, or whether he thinks Harry should not be involved in danger, Lupine will not help him. Taking a step back, even if Lupine agrees to help him - there is It wouldn't be a bad thing if an adult could watch, so that Harry wouldn't have to recklessly test things out by himself, right?"

"If for Lupine -" Hermione's voice was low, "Of course, I mean this is just a hypothesis, after all, we have to imagine the worst outcome... If Black is Lupin's real , where is your best friend?”

"No." Tom comforted her calmly, "I searched the Daily Prophet from that year. Black was arrested on the spot and thrown directly into Azkaban. There was no interrogation, and no one ran for him. Those who cry out for injustice or demand to find out whether there is any hidden secret——"

Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"I understand." She said, "Friend." There was a sneer on her lips.

She lowered her head to write the paper again and asked while writing: "Are you going to the library? I have borrowed all the relevant books. You can take a look if you need."

"No, there are other things." Tom stacked his books and notebooks, "Help me take a look. I'll be back soon."

Hermione stopped writing again and looked sideways at him thoughtfully.

"Are you in love?" she asked suddenly.

"What?" Tom choked, "No!"

"Oh." Hermione rolled her eyes, "Then who are you going to meet? Malfoy from Slytherin?"

"Ah..." Tom was speechless.

"Please." Hermione rolled her eyes unabashedly, "It's not like no one noticed the wink between you and Malfoy, Tom. It's probably just the careless boys who didn't notice anything. You Why don't you tell me? Are you worried that we won't get along? Friends of friends are not necessarily my friends. Even children can understand this. Don't I understand? Are you worried about the dispute between the houses? I don't hate Slytherin; Hate self-righteous idiots.”

"I can understand why you didn't tell Harry and the others, but why did you hide it from me?" the keen witch asked with a sneer.

"I'm sorry!" Tom made a surrender gesture, "I planned to talk to you after convincing him today...I happen to need your help too."

The brown-haired witch clasped her hands on her chest, leaned back in her chair, and raised her chin to signal him to continue.

"I need you to help me cover." Tom explained, "I can't travel through time so frequently recently, so some courses-"

"What problem did you encounter when traveling through time? Do you want me to sign in for you?" Hermione said quickly, "This is impossible. What makes you think that there are less people in the classroom and the professors can't tell?"

"Well, no. I mean, there's some kind, unnamed person who would be willing to give me a few lessons -" Tom said awkwardly, avoiding Hermione's first question.

"Malfoy will hate you," Hermione pointed out sharply.

Anyway, she couldn't imagine what it would be like for Malfoy to sit patiently in the Divination classroom and count tea leaves or listen to the professor talk about how wonderful Muggles are - but it would make her very happy just thinking about it, hehe.
