Hogwarts: Don’t panic, Old Deng, I won’t be the Dark Lord

"Dumbledore? Who are you?" Lupine asked confused.

"Ethan Thorne, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, asked you to be my assistant. I don't know what he thought, a werewolf. Tsk tsk tsk..." Ethan raised his eyebrows. said.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts Assistant... It's not necessary. Thank you Dumbledore for me, but you are right. I am a werewolf after all..." he said with a dark expression.

Ethan sneered and said, "You can't refuse this. Dumbledore has become more and more cowardly over the years, and he actually agreed to let those dementors into the school so that you can watch Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter? Dementors? What's going on?" Lupine asked quickly.

"The one named Sirius escaped from Azkaban. Those idiots from the Ministry of Magic, their position is not as good as letting a bunch of trolls do it. At least the trolls won't hold them back!" Ethan said sullenly.

"Sirius! It seems I have to guard against him..." Lupine murmured.

"It's up to you. I still think the Black family doesn't have the brains of a double agent, but this is not my responsibility, so I won't care."

"Then why did you come to me? You can obviously protect Harry Potter?" Lupine asked again.

"I don't have time. Get up quickly and take you to clean up. I've never seen a wizard like you in such a state of desolation, tsk tsk tsk." With that said, Ethan grabbed Lupine's shoulders and disappeared.

"Go pick out some clothes. You have to be a professor. Even a teaching assistant is cleaner." As he said this, Ethan pushed Lupine and made him run into a clothing store in Diagon Alley. among.

The clerk in the clothing store looked a little helpless at the weird atmosphere between Ethan and Lupine, but in the end he huddled in the corner with a look of helplessness on his face.

"I shouldn't have come to work during the summer! Why would Professor Thorne appear here!" the clerk roared in his heart.

It didn't take long for Lupine to choose a set of the cheapest robes, and just watched helplessly as Ethan spent more than twenty gold galleons.

"A few more sets, don't you want to give Harry Potter a good first impression?" Ethan said again, looking at the robe held in Lupin's hand.

"This is too expensive. Maybe we can change to another store." Lu Ping said bitterly.

"A grown man is so pretentious? Just think of it as a meeting gift for my future colleagues. Choose carefully." Ethan curled his lips and said.

"I will pay it back after I pay my salary." Lu Ping nodded and said.

"No need," Ethan said with a shrug.

Lupine picked out a few more sets of clothes and held them all in his hands.

"Does this suit of clothing on your body have any special meaning? Are you going to throw it away?" Ethan said looking at the tattered Lupine.

"It's not like you can't wear it." Lupine muttered quietly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'll buy you another set. Just throw away this rotten robe you're wearing. It's an eyesore." Ethan said unceremoniously.

"That's not true." Lu Ping said awkwardly.

"You are my assistant teacher. You don't want to lose face, but I want to save face, right...Dick?" Ethan said, pointing to the summer clerk who was holding quails in the corner.

Dick, who heard the voice, stood up and saluted Ethan. He then chose a new set of wizard robes of a similar style according to Lupine's current wasteland style, and faced Lupine towards the dressing room. Go.

It was the first time for Lupine in the locker room to be served like this. He stiffened up in embarrassment, letting Dick manipulate him like a puppet.

"Is this...sir going to be a professor? Hogwarts?" Dick looked at Lupine, whose scars were criss-crossed, but could not conceal his gentle expression, and said after thinking for a while.

"It's a teaching assistant, Mr. Thorne's teaching assistant." Lu Ping said awkwardly.

"That's right..." Dick murmured.

"Is your Professor Thorne easy to get along with? After all, the description of them in the newspaper seems to be a bit biased." Lu Ping thought about Ethan who bought clothes for strangers when they first met, and wondered whether such a person should be bad. As vaguely described in the Daily Prophet.

"The daily newspaper...well, they won't deduct points for us easily anyway. He gave us a kick in the first quarter. We still don't know if it was a scare or the truth." Dick said softly.

"What kind of power?" Lu Ping asked with interest.

"Single Cruciatus Curse and Group Amnesia Curse package." Dick said softly.

"This is all a joke no matter what." Lu Ping said awkwardly.

"I don't think so. In the first holiday after Professor Thorne recovered, he wiped out the Burke family. I think. Tsk, tsk, tsk, and during the holiday, the second-year Malfoy also sent Professor Thorne's son. I hope Slythorne's tabloids, if there is no news yet, may have..."

"Dick! What are you mumbling in the locker room!" Ethan outside the locker room looked at the two people who had not come out yet and roared.

The belt in Dick's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "It'll be ready soon, Professor!"

"Can you wrap up this robe for me?" Lu Ping asked tentatively.

"Of course." Dick said, taking out a merchandise bag, neatly folding Lupine's old clothes and putting them in it.

"Thank you." Lupine thanked him.

"It's your duty." Dick nodded.

After paying the bill, Ethan patted Lupine on the back and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Where to go?" Lupine asked.

"Gaul," Ethan replied.

"Ah? Is it so easy to leave the country now?" Lu Ping asked in surprise.

Ethan sneered and said, "Do you need to go through immigration procedures when you go abroad?"

"How come?" Lupine asked.

"What exudes from your soul is magic, not car exhaust." As he said this, Ethan pressed Lupine's shoulders. The next moment, there was a roar, and the two of them appeared on the streets of Gaul.

"Can't we eat well in China? Why do we have to go abroad?" Although Lu Ping had already adapted to ordinary Apparition, the transnational distance of Apparition still made him dizzy.

"Yingguo? What to eat?" Ethan joked with a smile.

"Well, there's really nothing good to eat." Lupine responded and said with a smile.

"Go and choose one. After we eat, I will take you back to find Dumbledore." Ethan patted Lupine on the shoulder and said.

"You look a bit old-fashioned, like an elder." Lu Ping complained with a smile.

"Well, you really should learn to be an elder." Ethan nodded in agreement, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed about being teased.
