It wasn't that Lupine didn't want to go to Snape, it was just that he didn't know what to say.

He stood at the door of the Slytherin office, wandering left and right, causing some Slytherins who came out of the lounge to look sideways. They really couldn't think of a reason why Lupine came to the dean.

Could it be that he found out that Snape was slandering him behind his back before, so he came to him?

"Why don't we change the time..."

Lupine withdrew his hand, and smoothed the wrinkles on the weather-beaten robe instead. Although he was very young, some wrinkles had already appeared on his face, and his hair at the temples was slightly graying.

Since he had been in the basement for a long time, he unnaturally greeted the passing students.

Malfoy sometimes wanted to run over and make fun of his poverty, but Hermione just coughed behind Lupin and cleared her throat before Draco noticed.

So he snorted softly and walked up the steps.

"Professor, you have been standing at the door for half an hour," Hermione said with a headache.

"Let me think about it again..." The professor scratched his light brown hair, "Why don't we talk about it next month? Anyway, Snape won't have any potions this month... why don't we help Cyrus watch Order Black"

He was evading, and made an excuse.

"Don't worry~ Black really wants to run, but he can't get away from Cyrus." Hermione stepped to the office door in three steps, "Professor Snape has extra potions, I've seen them."

When she and Cyrus were studying potions, she saw Snape brewing a large bottle on the table.

Because the brewing time of Wolfsbane Potion was very long, Snape would make multiple copies at a time, so as to ensure that Professor Lupine needed the dose every month.

Hermione knocked on the door on her own.

After a few minutes, the door was slowly opened a crack, and Snape soon saw Lupine behind Hermione with an embarrassed expression on his face. He was about to close the door, but Hermione stopped him.

"Miss Granger... what trick are you playing? I'm not going to lure wolves into a house like Dumbledore *"

"Professor Lupine wants to talk to you about something..."

"Heh~ I don't want to have anything to say to a -wolf-man! Maybe he should go find the dog." Snape sneered in a low voice, "Did he find that the great Dumbledore couldn't help him?"

"Headmaster Dumbledore believes in me..." Lupine said gently.

"Yes, he has always been like this, he trusts everyone, but it doesn't help him anything..." Snape didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and closed the door impatiently.

Hermione couldn't bear it anymore, so she yanked the door open with force.

"I said... can't you two talk properly?! Both are professors in the same school!!"

"Don't talk about things you don't understand!" Snape growled, "I didn't take revenge that day and I did enough to give Headmaster Dumbledore face, Granger, before I didn't get angry, Ravenclaw only deducted ten points." !"

Lupine took a deep breath and said, "Ravenclaw is a plus for her bravery... You fool, do you really deserve to vent your anger on innocent students because of the festivals of your school days?"

"Holidays?" he laughed, looking into Lupine's eyes, and said every single word, "You call it a holiday? How about I throw Potter into the hands of a mad werewolf now, just as a joke? "

"See? This is Gryffindor...so stupid all his life!!"

Lupine pulled Hermione's shoulders, and then stood between Hermione and Snape. His body finally straightened up. He licked his chapped lips and said wearily:

"I never felt like that was the right thing to do and be proud of it..."

The words were very slow and clear, with a tremor in them, and Hermione could see Snape's eyes narrow subconsciously and his feet take a small step back.

"If you talk about that alone, you can hate Peter, you can hate Blake... But I really don't know about it, you should know that Dumbledore let me study, I am already very grateful"

How could he live up to the trust of Headmaster Dumbledore and hurt others.

Snape pursed his lips, his chest heaved a little more, but he quickly returned to calm. He didn't speak, but just stared at Lupine's vicissitudes of face.

"Who asked you to come...Dumbledore? Cyrus? Granger?" He didn't show any emotion, just analyzed clearly.

Minerva McGonagall?Impossible, she doesn't know old things about Snape, Dumbledore?It's possible... Cyrus and Hermione, maybe Dumbledore's big mouth told them.

Lupine's heartfelt words, in Snape's eyes, were crocodile tears.

"Nobody, they just made my mind more accurate." Lupine pointed to his tattered clothes, and raised his voice a little bit, "What do you think I'm doing after graduation?! We were all stupid back then... you too No exception!"

Since being

"No, I don't think I need to say anything more than you stupid lions who are pampered by Dumbledore."

"What do you think I said? Tell James who allowed a werewolf to live in his house, 'You're wrong?' Severus... I'm not like you, I don't have a choice!!"

"Where's Lily!!" Remus Lupine pressed, "I could say 'sorry' to you, but what about yours?!"

'Lily?The name was mentioned twice' Hermione made a mental note.

"Remus...John Lupine..." Snape squinted at Hermione, and the girl immediately covered her ears, "Don't step into my office, even if you had nothing to do with this matter!"

He left a final warning before turning away, the blackness of the room swallowing him after he had taken a few steps.

"Let's go...I said it's useless." Lupine shook his head frustrated, but Hermione still grabbed his hand.

"Not necessarily, Professor Snape's door was not closed" Hermione knew Snape's habit, once he was completely unwelcome or unwilling to be disturbed, he would still close the door after refusing to visit.

Whoever it was...even Draco Malfoy.

Not welcome is not welcome, he doesn't care what anyone thinks.

Lupine followed Hermione suspiciously and waited at the door for a few minutes. Sure enough, the dark side remembered his footsteps, and saw Snape walking over with a look of disgust, holding a bottle sealed with a cork in his hand.

Inside is wolf poison potion like liquor.

"Take it and get the hell out of here...at least you don't have to think about it this month, and...Miss Granger, I don't want you to get involved in these things again! My patience is exhausted today!"

Snape quickly stuffed the potion into Lupine's hands, and the latter held it tremblingly in his chest, a little dull.

It wasn't until Snape closed the door again that Lupine came back to his senses. He carefully put away the potion, his movements were very stiff, but there was a faint smile on his face.

He smiled bitterly: "Am I too timid?"

"No matter what, it's enough if the result is right." Hermione nodded, not offended by Snape's anger, "Professor, why didn't you tell him before?"

"Before? He didn't even know how to listen..." Lupine was in a good mood, he solved an indelible guilt in his heart, "Severus hated me very much from that moment on, fortunately we both experienced a lot"

Today, Lupine finally knew why Dumbledore admired these two young wizards so much.

Cyrus had suggested it more than once, but he was still unable to make up his mind. If Hermione hadn't dragged him to the basement to find Snape today, he might have kept going like this.

Walking between guilt and timidity.

"What did you mean 'no choice'?" Hermione asked him.

"Ah...it's actually quite normal. At that time, James and Black had been at odds with Severus. They liked to bully Severus, but Severus also wanted them to be fired..."

Lupine couldn't help laughing as he recalled what happened back then, his face looked much younger.

He had become a prefect in fifth year, and was given the responsibility of restraining the leader of their small group, James and Sirius...but James was so nice to him that Lupine didn't know what to do with it.

James was able to receive werewolves, and sometimes even helped him a lot financially after graduation, so Lupine was even more speechless.

"That's it. I don't have the courage to tell Black and them that what they did was wrong. They shouldn't tease and bully people I don't like, let alone make them treat Snape well..."

Lupine took a chocolate frog from his pocket and put it in Hermione's hand.

It was his favorite snack, and one he could afford, and Lupine thanked them for giving him a little courage.

"If you are friends with them, you should say so! Instead of letting them bully those who look down on them and become new bullies" Hermione said proudly, puffing out her chest.

What?Malfoy?Then she and Cyrus didn't take the initiative to bully him, he was the one who ran over to do it every time.

"Maybe others can, but James and Black definitely won't" Lupine scratched his head, "Black's cousin is a Slytherin Death Eater, so he sees all Slytherins in that way..."

"And what about Harry's father?"

"Um...can you go to the kitchen with me? I'm a bit hungry." Lupine changed the topic, and suddenly turned a corner. "I have to replenish energy for that day of the month, and I have a good appetite today."

Probably got the perfect potion of Wolfsbane... and he doesn't have to lock himself in the Screaming Shack by himself anymore.

"Can you eat more slowly? Starving to death?! Just... the etiquette of pure-blooded nobles"

"Boy, even though I'm the only one left in the Black family, but... I still have to say that a pure blood is a bullshit nobleman"

"I agree with this"

As soon as Hermione and Lupine entered the door, they saw Black eating without quality, holding the vegetable salad with his left hand, and the sliced ​​barbecue with his right hand, stuffing them into his mouth hungrily.

After seeing Lupine coming, he immediately greeted him excitedly, saying: "I haven't eaten Hogwarts food for a long time, sure enough! After 12 years, it's getting better and better."

"Well... just don't choke," the professor said calmly.

'How about it? ' Cyrus winked at Hermione.

'Perfect solution~'

Hermione: Wink~
