HP Polar Night

Agares learned from a Slytherin student that he would be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for the next school year, Remus Lupine.According to the information he found before, Lupine and his father Sirius Black and Harry's father James Potter were good friends during school. In the alumni record, they stood next to each other, looking like very familiar.There was also his name on the notes of some books in the library, indicating that this is a Gryffindor with a Ravenclaw character.

According to the student, this position was not originally given to Lupine, but just a while ago, Dumbledore used the power of the headmaster to temporarily replace the employee without the approval of the school board.Sirius Black had just escaped from Azkaban, and Dumbledore brought such a person related to him to the school, which seemed problematic no matter how he looked at it.

I don't know if it's to put suspicious people under the watchful eye, or to have an extra helper who will work hard to bring the fugitive back to prison.No matter which situation is above, it is actually not helpful for Agares' position, so he must find an opportunity to chat with Lupine alone, at least to test the other party.

Maybe Merlin did care for him, Agares didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.On Hogwarts' first day of school, he had just stepped onto the express train when he saw another man who was clearly an adult wizard.The wizard was wearing an extremely worn-out robe, which was patched in several places. He was thin and sickly, with a lot of white hair intermingled with his brown hair.One can tell at a glance that he has lived a life of displacement and poverty for a long time.

The other party probably also wanted to get on the train early when it was still early and there were not many students in the station.But he didn't expect that there was another person who got on the bus early, and it was Agares.

The wizard was obviously stunned for a long time when he saw Agares, and it took a long time before he showed a gentle smile.Agares sensitively found complex emotions such as nostalgia, accident and others in the other party's expression just now.This made him more sure of the identity of the person in front of him.

"Good morning, sir. I'm Agareth Black, a fourth-year Slytherin student. Nice to meet you." The boy greeted him politely. Upbringing and demeanor.

Lupine was in a trance for a while before slowly realizing: "Good morning, Mr. Black, I am Remus Lupine. I am invited by Professor Dumbledore to be your future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

His heart is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.The boy in front of him is that person's child, although none of them knew it before.The boy looked very much like that person, except that his temperament was not as aggressive as that person's, from his hair to his facial features, he was a replica of that person's student days.

Looking at the young man, Lupine felt that time went back to the past in an instant, the time when they were still innocent.None of the painful things had happened, James and Peter were still alive, and Sirius hadn't gone on the wrong path.

Agares pretended not to see the other party's complicated scrutiny, but took advantage of the opportunity to invite the other party to go to the same carriage as himself. Lupine might also want to get in close contact with his old friend's child, so he didn't refuse.

Agares followed Lupine all the way to the end of the train. They chose the last car, put down their luggage, and sat opposite each other.

It was Agares who broke the calm first. He had gotten along with Gryffindor a lot, and he knew how to deal with a Gryffindor. "Professor Lupine, I think I know you. You and my father, Sirius Black, were good friends when we were students, right?"

Unexpectedly, he would be asked such a direct question as soon as he sat down. Lupine was really stunned for a while, and then nodded. "Yes," he smiled wryly, "Your father and I used to be classmates in the same college and the same dormitory." He avoided the word "friend", perhaps not out of fear of getting into trouble, but out of pain.

"I saw a photo of you in the Hogwarts alumni record before, and you stood very close together, and you seemed to have a good relationship." Agares briefly explained why he said this, and Lupine seemed to accept made this statement.

"I just want to know something about his student days, and I don't want to offend you."

Lupine nodded, showing that he was not offended.This gave Agares more confidence to speak: "What kind of person is he? Because of the incident in Azkaban, the Daily Prophet is saying that he is a vicious gangster, but as his son, I guess I'll have to hear from someone who knew him." To make a man he hadn't seen in years feel nostalgic, and he couldn't believe that Sirius Black was "bad and nasty" at school.

"Knowing him...maybe..." Lupine murmured, with a hint of pain on his face.

Agares made a gesture of listening attentively. Lupine hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "When he was a student, he and James were the most influential figures in the school. They have excellent grades and cheerful personalities. There is no one in the academy who doesn't like them. people……"

From Lupine's eloquence, the images of two clever and mischievous characters slowly unfolded in front of Agares.They also come from an ancient pure-blood family, are equally talented in academics, have the same rebellious personality and love to play, and are assigned to the same college and live in the same dormitory.

James Potter and Sirius Black, like a pair of unrelated twin brothers, are inseparable in class, pranks, and night outings.

But what happened later?

When Lupine said the word later, he fell into a long silence, and finally just shook his head with a wry smile: "Sorry, boy." He couldn't face the later, let alone tell a child, about his own life. Dad did something wrong.

Agares expressed understanding: "I'm sorry."

"You look a lot like your father," Lupine couldn't help showing the expression he had when he first saw Agares, "but you're not like him."

"Gryffindor and Slytherin?"

"I'm afraid more." Lupine laughed, looking much more relaxed after such a long conversation. "We seem to have been chatting for a long time." He turned his gaze to the window, and the platform outside was already crowded with young wizards and parents.Lupine's expression was full of nostalgia, and Agares didn't need to guess to know that the other party must have remembered his student days.The same Hogwarts express train, noisy and noisy first day, little wizards and their pets running around.As time goes by, Hogwarts remains the same.

"Excuse me, we can sit... Oh, Agares!" The familiar voice interrupted the conversation between the two people in the carriage, and Agares did not miss the change in Lupine's expression when he saw the person coming.

"Yes, come in, Harry, Hermione, and Mr Weasley."

Standing at the door of the carriage was the savior of Gryffindor and his two friends. At this moment, Harry was looking at Agares in surprise. Since that day, he had never seen his black-haired friend again. They didn't even meet each other at the back-to-school fair in Diagon Alley.

Except for Ron who was awkward, the other two Gryffindors were friends with Agares. They packed their luggage and sat down in their seats.Harry sat next to Agares, Hermione and Ron sat across from each other, and Lupine sat next to Agares.

Three young wizards are curious about an adult wizard appearing on the train, and Agares has to introduce them both. "This is Professor Lupine, who is teaching our Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester. Harry, Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley are all Gryffindor third-year students."

The little wizard said hello to the future professor politely, and it was obvious that they were all a bit restrained.Lupine looked at Harry with complicated eyes, and Harry obviously noticed it too. He was a little at a loss, and subconsciously looked at Agares.Lupine noticed this, and he smiled slightly. "Your parents and I used to be classmates, Harry...if you don't mind."

Harry nodded, indicating that the other party could call himself by his Christian name.

Lupine's eyes were full of warmth: "You and your father really look alike, and Lily's eyes..." Seeing James' child sitting with Agares seemed to see the past, which made him feel Unprecedented regret and pain.

It was the first time Harry had seen his parents' friends, and he looked excited to hear more from Lupine, as did Hermione and Ron.But Lupine didn't go on: "You can come to me after school starts, Harry." He looked very tired, and although Harry wanted to ask more, he thoughtfully didn't ask anything.

The train started, and Agares stood up. "I have made an appointment with a few classmates, and I have to find them."

Harry looked unhappy, he forced a smile: "Okay, Agares."

Agares noticed that Lupine had been looking at them, and he reached out and stroked Harry's messy black hair: "I'll find you in a few days." Harry nodded.

After Agares left, the carriage fell into an inexplicably awkward silence.

Finally it was Lupine who broke the silence: "Children, I may need to sleep first." Harry and the others expressed that they would keep quiet. After all, the professor looked so haggard and desolate. suffered a lot.As a result, several kind children showed their empathetic side. After Lupine fell asleep, they even kept the conversation in a low voice.

It's a pity that this tranquility could not be maintained until Hogwarts. In the afternoon, it started to rain, and the scenery outside the window gradually became blurred. "Why is it suddenly cold?" Ron muttered.

The train got slower and slower, and finally stopped.

The sound of the wind and rain outside the window became louder, the raindrops hit the glass, and the sound of the wind whizzed past like the roar of a monster.

The lights in the car suddenly went out, and they were plunged into a moment of darkness. "What's the matter?" The other carriages were also clamoring for the accident, and people kept opening the carriage doors and poking their heads out to check.

"You all sit down." Lupine woke up, a ball of light appeared on the tip of his wand, it was a fluorescent light.

The light dispels the darkness.

"Professor, do you know what's going on? Is the train broken down?" Hermione asked.

Lupine's face looked serious. "No, it's not a glitch, something's coming up."

Ron wiped the window with his sleeve and looked out. "Who are those?" Through the glass, something was moving outside.

Lupine opened the door of the carriage, and he used a loud voice for himself: "All students, I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and now there is an accident on the train, I ask all of you to return to your carriage and sit down."

There was darkness on the long train, only a little light could be seen from the direction of the rear of the train.

Knowing that the professor was present, the students were relieved and sat back one after another.

Just then, there was a scream from the front of the car.The sound was particularly harsh on the quiet train. The little wizards who had finally calmed down were frightened, and suddenly became noisy, with shouts and cries everywhere.

"Quiet!" Lupine had to use another loud voice. "Everyone stay in the car."

At this moment, through the gap between Professor Lupine and the door of the carriage, Harry saw a vague black figure floating from the front.

"What is that!" Hermione also saw it, and she held Ron's arm tightly, a little terrified.Ron wasn't much better off than she was either, and they both looked terribly nervous.

"None of us hid Sirius under the cloak and got out of here," Lupine said to the black figure, standing in front of them.

But the black shadow looked very unwilling and tried to pass Lupine and move on.

"I repeat, get out of here!" Some silver light appeared on the tip of Lupine's wand, which seemed to be the nemesis of the black shadow, and it quickly slipped away.

"You stay here, I'll go ahead and take a look." Lupine turned around and confessed, the three little wizards nodded, and he strode forward.

The lights on the train were turned on again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped a catastrophe.Harry was pale and cold. "What was that just now? I feel bad." Hermione and Ron were also a little uncomfortable, but better than Harry. "I don't know, but it must be something very scary. I think we can ask Professor Lupine when he comes back. He must know."

"I don't know what happened to Agares." Harry looked worriedly at the train aisle.

"He's much better than us, he should be fine." Hermione reassured him.

The train restarted, and the sound of wind and rain outside was much quieter.

The author has something to say:

Because he is a werewolf, he is inferior and autistic, but he met them, so he also had a youthful and frivolous time.He has a gentle and humble personality, perhaps cautious, so he is more and more envious of James and Sirius' wanton flying.In those best years, he seemed to be a thief, obviously he shouldn't ask for more, but he got the most precious friendship.Because of this, when James died, Peter died, and Sirius was thrown into Azkaban as a traitor, he was the one left behind.The pain in his heart was incomparable.

Of course he longed to see that child, the child of his best friend and the girl he had a crush on, but he couldn't.

He was a werewolf, and he couldn't bring the child any danger.

All he could do was to fly away like a coward, away from this abyss of pain.

But when that kid needed him, and Dumbledore needed him, he would come back desperately.

Because this is James and Lily's child...

Even if, he has to face another source of pain, his betrayed best friend...

If you want to brainstorm in the group of four-

James - Proper Straight Man

Sirius - secretly in love with James without knowing it

peter - spoiled by worshiping sirius

Remus - Sees it all, but I dare not say

then--

Peter: I know you value James most, but I'm going to destroy everything you value!

Sirius: I'm going to kill you!

James:? ? ?I died a little bit.

Remus: I've seen it all, why didn't I say it?Painful Nth power

—

Therefore, Remus' pain stemmed from his low self-esteem, which he didn't dare to speak out.

So, I opened another brain hole about Remus

There were stories about him and a philandering Slytherin bastard.

Happened during their studies.

The little Slytherin bastard is handsome, flirtatious and playful.

Remus warned himself, this is all fake, there is no sincerity, so don't believe it.

But the tricks of the little bastard are too high.

……

Please make up the rest by yourself.
