Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"I don't think it's necessarily a person, maybe it's some creature that won't attract attention, such as a bird, an insect, or a mouse." Dean once again set his sights on the missing Banban. considered the most likely suspect.

"The only one who has been following me lately is Alfie. Don't you doubt your owl?" Lupine said jokingly.

Hearing this, Alfie glared at Dean angrily with her big amber eyes.

"Of course not." Dean immediately took out a handful of owl nuts and handed them to Alfie.

Lu Ping said casually, and he mused: "If it is really some kind of creature that can be seen everywhere in life that is monitoring me, then I may not be able to detect it."

"Let me try." Dean suddenly shouted: "Come here!"

Lupine could clearly feel a magical hurricane blowing through the hut, but nothing happened.

Dean was immediately embarrassed. Did he guess wrong?

"Sure enough, that cunning guy has escaped from here." Dean had to explain reluctantly: "Actually, I have always suspected that an Agmanis is watching you, but it seems that he has escaped."

Lupine looked at Dean with a shocked look on his face: "Were you using the Flying Curse to cast spells without a wand just now?"

"Yeah, you know that I attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic for casting spells outside school during the Christmas vacation. If I didn't use the wand, I probably wouldn't have been discovered by Trace." Dean explained casually.

"Wandless casting is a very advanced magic skill. I didn't expect you to master it at such a young age." Lupine was once again amazed by Dean's magic talent.

"Well, I can just barely use it. I'm far from being proficient." Dean said modestly.

"No, you are already very good." Lupine said with a complex expression.

Dean's outstanding talent reminded Lupine of several close friends he once had.

"Mr. Lupine, did you remember something?" Seeing Luping suddenly fell into silence, Dean asked involuntarily.

"No, I just suddenly recalled something." Lu Ping didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he changed the topic and asked: "You just called Banban to come here, what is Banban?"

"That's a pet rat of my roommate Ron. I suspect..." Dean suddenly started to hesitate when he said this. Now he is the only one who knows that Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew, but he doesn't have any evidence. If he tells it so straightforwardly, Lu Ping, let’s not say whether it will change history. I’m afraid Lu Ping won’t believe it easily.

"Are you suspicious?" Lupine looked at Dean in confusion.

"Mr. Lupin, thank you for helping me obtain the Black family's genealogy, but I don't want to end our employment relationship so soon. Can you please continue to help me?" Dean suddenly said.

"Don't you still want to verify that memory?" Lu Ping didn't understand why Dean suddenly changed his mind.

"I believe you. I just didn't think about how to continue our employment relationship, but now I have found a good reason." Dean said.

Lupine frowned slightly, and Dean's words made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend." Dean immediately realized his rudeness and quickly explained: "Let me put it another way, I want to continue to ask for your help."

"Can the employment relationship be terminated?" Lu Ping asked immediately.

"If you insist." Dean knew that Lupine's self-esteem prevented him from accepting gifts for no reason, so he tried to use the employment relationship to fund him. It seemed that Lupine had noticed this, so he reacted like this. .

"Let's terminate the employment relationship first, and then you can tell me what help I need." Lu Ping insisted as expected.

"Just do as you say!" After Dean nodded in agreement, Lupine was visibly relieved.

At the same time, the system prompts Dean to gain 50 favorability points from Lupine and activate Lupine's bond.

"Lupin's Bond: The werewolf is your kind and will no longer actively attack you. Benefit: Super self-healing. You gain the powerful self-healing ability like a werewolf. As long as your head is not cut off or the heart is pierced, you will not be able to recover again. Injuries will also heal quickly, and the speed of self-healing is linked to Lu Ping's favorability."

very good, very powerful!

"Now you can tell me what help I need." Lupine asked seriously.

Dean could see that as long as he did not violate the bottom line, no matter what he asked Lupine to do, he would agree without hesitation - Lupine was a man who repaid his kindness.

But Dean felt a little embarrassed. Considering that Lupine's bond was so strong, he actually owed Lupine something.

"Dean?" Seeing Dean's delay in speaking, Lu Ping urged.

Dean took out the Wolfsbane potion that Tina asked him to hand over, and a purse containing 500 Galleons, and handed it over together: "This is the Wolfsbane potion and some Galleons that Grandma Tina asked me to hand over."

Lupine looked at Dean hesitantly and asked softly: "Are you talking about Tina Scamander?"

After receiving a positive reply, Lupine shook his head: "I can understand Ms. Tina asking you to hand over the Wolfsbane potion, but these galleons are definitely not what she meant."

Dean sighed, he knew he wouldn't hide this from Lupin easily.

He glanced at Rolf, who was still unconscious, and suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Mr. Lupin, believe it or not, these galleons were indeed entrusted to me by Grandma Tina."

"She didn't say anything?" Lu Ping's expression was obviously unbelieving.

Dean shook his head: "She didn't say anything, but there is one interesting detail."

"What details?"

"Rolf and I were together at that time. No matter from which point of view, if Grandma Tina had something to hand over, it would be more appropriate to arrange for Rolf to be handed over, but she chose me instead."

"what do you mean……"

"Grandma Tina wants to sell you a favor, but if Rolf does it, the purpose will be too obvious, and you will definitely not accept it, so you asked me to do it for you."

"Why did she sell me a favor?"

"I guess she wants you to help protect Rolf. Perhaps you don't know that on the same night we met, Rolf was attacked by an unknown person and he was hit by the Imperius Curse!"

"This is impossible! Unless Rolf left Hogwarts that night, no one could use the Imperius Curse to attack a student under Dumbledore's nose!" Lupine flatly stated that he did not believe Dean's words.

"This is a fact, and many insiders can attest to it. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the school chose to deal with it in a low-key manner." Dean said frankly.

"...So Ms. Tina chose me to protect Rolf?" Lupine showed an ugly smile and politely refused: "I think she overestimated my ability and would use unforgivable methods on a student. The curse must be a black wizard with no bottom line, I don’t think I can protect Rolf well.”
