The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

"Okay, children, look at today, what have I brought you?"

Professor Lupine put the big box on the podium and pulled off the satin on it. It was a glass box, which contained a blue magical creature with a pair of arms and a leg.

Its body is composed of a cloud of smoke, which looks very fragile, like the kind that can be blown away by a gust of wind. It also holds a kerosene lamp in its hand, but the flame inside is also blue.

"This is a Shinkpunk, don't be fooled by its appearance, this magical creature is deadly in the dark."

"Everyone, pay attention to the flame in the lamp in its hand. It will have several different colors, but you have to remember the shape of this flame."

"If you see this in the dark, don't stare at the flames for too long, you will be deluded for a long time, and when you wake up, you will either fall into a ditch or fall into a quagmire, and, besides, you To face the jeers of Hincklepunk..."

Professor Lupine's class was welcomed by the little wizards as always. After the class, he quickly covered the glass box with silk and handed it into Harry's hands. Why was the Boggart last time? The alarm bell rang, and the black cat's face was stuck to the glass box.

"Harry, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Lupine quickly left the classroom with Harry.

Macon smacked his lips, looking disappointedly at the Hincklepunk who was walking away from him.

"I heard about the Quidditch game, you did a great job, and many little wizards praised your performance."

"Professor, it's nothing. It's just a pity that the Nimbus 2000 was a gift from Professor McGonagall. It has been with me for two full years."

Harry put the glass box on his desk, the game was cancelled, the Golden Snitch and the black goat were still missing, so it was the broomstick that bothered him the most.

"Professor, what spell did Principal Dumbledore use that day?"

When he mentioned what happened that day, he thought of the blue phoenix. If he could do it, he wouldn't have to be afraid of them when he encountered dementors in the future. Harry had a hunch that the dementors would come to him again sooner or later.

"I've also heard about this. That spell is called the Patronus Charm. It's very ancient, very famous, and very profound. Few wizards can use this spell."

"If a physical patron saint can be condensed, it means that this wizard has extraordinary magical talents. These people are often recommended as high-level officials of the Wizengamot or the Ministry of Magic."

"Professor, on the train, I remember that you also used this spell, but it was only Macon..."

Harry had already heard the difficulty of the spell from the three very words of Professor Lupine, but he didn't want to give up.

"Well, Harry, I can see your determination, but not yet, we have to wait until next term."

"Okay, boy, I'm off to find Snape. That Whomping Willow thing really pissed me off."

Professor Lupine was about to leave after speaking, and he had to settle accounts with Snape.

"Professor, you, you just said the Whomping Willow?"

Harry said hesitantly, he didn't know why Professor Lupine went to find Snape, and what did it have to do with Whomping Willow.

"Yes, the Whomping Willow, it was poached by someone, it must be Snape, he almost ruined my business."

When Lupine said this, another wave of nameless anger rose up.

"The Whomping Willow, I don't think Professor Snape did it."

Harry looked at him in embarrassment, it really wasn't Snape's fault.

"Huh? Harry, you seem to know something? Don't be afraid, tell me."

"The Whomping Willow was poached by me..."

"Harry, you don't have to do this for Snape, really."

Lupine looked at Harry with disbelief, you poached it?How did you dig it?Such a big Whomping Willow is not a stump, but a whole tree, and it is still alive!The kind that slaps people!

"The real professor, I really poached it. I didn't do it for Professor Snape. If you don't believe me, I can show you."

He didn't know what kind of loss that Whomping Willow had caused Professor Lu Ping, but he didn't want to betray his friend.

Looking at Harry's anxious look, Lupine didn't seem to be lying, but he still didn't want to deny his judgment.

Harry had no choice but to drag Professor Lupine to Macon's hut. Lupine stood in front of the hut, looking at the Whomping Willow in the yard. He would recognize its familiar appearance even if it was hung on a swing come out.

"Harry, why did you dig up the big tree here? Who lives here?"

Professor Lupine asked Harry suspiciously, he only remembered Hagrid's hut in this neighborhood, and he didn't have any impression of this Chinese-style wooden house.

"Oh? Professor Lupine, what are you doing standing at my door? Would you like to come in and have a sit?"

Macon took Hermione's little hand, and the two walked over side by side, just in time to see Harry and Lupine standing in front of the cabin.

"This, this is your residence? Don't you live in a castle?"

"I live here with Hermione. It's just that the dementors are too noisy recently. I have to participate in the night patrol, so I can only live in the castle."

"Ah, that's all right, Harry, I'm going back first, I still have something to do."

When Lupine heard the dementor, he remembered the scene on the train, and the terrifying black claw made him shudder.

Macon looked at Lupine's strange look and turned to look at Harry.

"Macon, why are you here? Professor Lupine originally wanted to settle accounts with Snape. He suspected that Snape had removed the Whomping Willow. I told him I did it, but he didn't believe me, so I just I can bring him here."

Harry said embarrassingly, one side was his friend, and the other side was his parents' friends, which made it very difficult for him.

"It's okay, just tell him that I asked you to dig it, it's nothing serious, and he wasn't angry because of the Whomping Willow tree, you came just in time, it's almost noon, go and get Ron, West Mo and Draco called, I recently discovered a delicacy, and we ate here at noon."

When Macon heard what Harry said, he immediately understood why Lupine was angry. That night, the wolf with a big tail dug out a pair of paws...

It has been raining heavily recently. The rainy season in England this year is very exaggerated. It has not stopped since June, which makes the rainy season longer than usual for three full months. The long-term humid environment makes Macon very uncomfortable. It's a good choice to eat some chili.

Fortunately, there are a lot of crayfish here. He only needs to catch a large number of crayfish in the clear streams on the outskirts of the city.

As a large pot of crayfish was brought to the dining table by Macon, the strange and strong taste, just smelling it, will stimulate your mouth to salivate.

"What, what is this? Why, why is it so delicious! Sigh!"

Draco's mouth was full of red oil, and he couldn't speak well when he was spicy.

"It's art! It's hot! Sigh!"

Seamus was dripping with sweat, not forgetting to praise art.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Ron gnawed on the crayfish and didn't want to talk.
