[hp] Black Dog Breeding Manual

Lupine's favorite Muggle pub, located in a supposedly remote corner of the suburbs of London.As soon as Anaska walked in, she found that the noise level inside was no less than that of the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, and it was also as dirty as the Pig's Head.

The ground is full of cigarette butts and dust, the corners of the store are covered with strong spider webs, and several pieces of limestone have fallen off the walls, which makes the decoration of the bar look like the head of a middle-aged man with bald spots.

Anaska frowned at the smell of alcohol inside, it was really not a pleasant place for her.

Is this the case in all Muggle places?As soon as Anaska's thought came to her mind, she dismissed it by herself. She had been to Lily's house before, and the Evans family kept the house in good order. It looked clean and warm.

Anaska endured a faint resentment and walked into the bar.Often, Muggle men would stare straight at her—more than usual at the Three Broomsticks, which made Anaska even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but wonder if Mary was telling her the truth, and maybe her attire still didn't fit. Mix in muggles.

Just in case, Anaska squeezed the end of her wand that was hidden in her sleeve, ready to draw it out at any time.

"Hello miss, is this your first time here?"

An arm was thrown abruptly in front of Anaska, almost causing her to lose her balance.

Anaska raised her head, and it was a man who stopped her, his hair was mixed with at least five or six colors, his arms were flailing with dark black patterns like black magic marks, and he was still holding a cigar in his mouth.

The man was taller than her, Anaska backed away subconsciously, she didn't want to have any conflict with Muggles for the time being.

"I'm sorry, I'm going over there." Anaska tried to sound tough, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the man in front of her.

"Don't be so unfriendly, I just want to buy you a drink. I've always been good at bringing newcomers." The man bent down and pulled his face very close to Anaska. Anaska immediately smelled The smell of smoke hits the face.

The other's tone disgusted her.

Just when Anaska was about to do something, the man's cigar broke into two sections without warning, and the section with sparks fell on the man's trousers in an incredible arc.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Anaska seemed to see the small sparks on the cigarette butt burning up in an instant, just like a small torch.

"Damn it! It's so hot! My pants!" The man yelled, his trousers and leather shoes were lit by the cigarette butt with a huge flame, he had to stomp on himself with the other foot in a panic, looking It hurts.

It's just that the fire stubbornly refused to go out, and soon, the man had to start rolling on the ground.

A circle of spectators gathered around, and someone finally brought water from a large beer bucket and poured it on the man in one go, finally putting out the small fire.

Anaska did not hesitate for a few minutes at this inexplicable episode, for she spotted Remus Lupine in the crowd and waved in that direction hastily.

Lupine noticed her quickly, nodded his head, pointed to a corner, and turned away.Anaska immediately disappeared into the crowd and followed.

They finally meet in a corner seat, just the two of them sitting facing each other, no one else, and of course no dog.

Anaska felt inexplicably hopeless. She looked around, but she still couldn't keep silent after all.

"Sirius, didn't you come with me?" Anaska tried her best to speak calmly, as if she didn't expect anything at all.

Lupine shook his head, lowered his voice, and said vigilantly, "Shhh, don't use that name. The cold itself is quite contrived, but I stopped him. You know, under the current situation, there is no harm in being cautious."

Anaska seemed to hear someone knocking on the table with a glass nearby, but there was no such person when she looked around.

Lupine obviously heard the voice, he closed his mouth vigilantly, stood up and looked around, and sat down after finding nothing unusual.When he spoke again, however, Lupine's voice was lower.

"...Campbell, did it ever occur to you that Peter Pettigrew might not be dead?"

"What?" Anaska trembled slightly. She remembered that the "Daily Prophet" published that Peter Pettigrew was blown up by Sirius, leaving only a little finger, "such an explosion... the possibility of surviving is not very high .And...didn't the Ministry of Magic find fragments of Peter Pettigrew's body?"

Even though Peter Pettigrew was such an ungrateful person, Anaska still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when it came to such a tragic death, and she always felt as if she could smell the strong scorching of the burnt flesh After all, there were thirteen innocent Muggles who were killed together with Peter Pettigrew.

Out of blind trust in Sirius, Anaska always felt that even if he was mad, he would not kill the thirteen Muggles in order to kill Peter Pettigrew.But she really couldn't find a reasonable explanation to explain why Peter Pettigrew put the blame on Sirius and was killed, while Sirius was unharmed.For a while, she was even prepared to believe what the Muggle news was saying - that it was a gas explosion that happened to be there, and Peter Pettigrew was just bad luck.

In fact, she should ask the only surviving person, but maybe because she didn't want to hear the answer she didn't want to know, she never took the initiative to speak.

More and more fears and worries had piled up in her heart recently, and Anaska even wondered if she was a Gryffindor after all.

"Just one finger doesn't mean much. Besides, why do other Muggles have so many fragments, and Peter Pettigrew only has one finger?" Lupine was a little agitated unconsciously. "I asked about the cold, and he said that the explosion was Peter Pettigrew did it himself, before he could even wave his wand with a cold. I can't believe Peter had the guts to commit suicide—he's always been so freaking desperate for life."

Anaska was stunned, listening to Lupine continue to analyze.

"Remember when I told you that Peter's Animagus was a mouse? We were wondering if Peter, following the chaos of the moment of the explosion, transfigured himself into a mouse and hid. You know , such a humble form is very easy to hide. Sewers, wall cracks, trash cans... In short, it can be anywhere. Peter can hide wherever he wants. If he really gets lucky, maybe it’s okay She was taken in to a pet shop."

Anaska certainly hoped that Lupine's analysis was entirely correct.With all witnesses dead, this may be the only hope for Sirius to be exonerated quickly.

It was the first time in months that Anaska had hoped that Peter Pettigrew, the damned, would be alive.

"I can help..." Anaska thought for a while, "I am familiar with some other pet shops, and I can entrust them to keep an eye on them. Besides... I also know some mice."

Rats that are not pets are not popular in most households. Anaska has kept most of the rats she knows, but there are still a few that do not want to be kept in confinement.Anaska could occasionally hear some unknown gossip from these mice, and they even provided information to the Order of the Phoenix.

"That would be great." Lupine's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a rare relaxed smile appeared on his face, "I was just wondering if you could ask the nearby mice if they have any new additions recently. ……similar."

"What did Peter Pettigrew look like when he turned into a mouse? Any... pictures?"

"Sorry, no. After the transformation, we don't have hands to take pictures." Lupine shrugged, he seemed to be in a better mood than before, and he even had the strength to joke, "He's a big gray mouse, not very good looking Beautiful. Since the finger at the scene really belongs to Peter, he should be missing a claw."

Anaska nodded.

The two sat opposite each other, silent for a while, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.

"...Have you found a suitable job?" Anaska managed to hold back a sentence.

"Not yet, very few units are willing to hire werewolves." Lupine said, "Occasionally, they have succeeded, but after they find a more suitable normal person, they no longer need me."

Anaska could see that although Lupine tried to sound more indifferent, there was actually something dark in his eyes.

Anaska suddenly remembered that Lupine had always done well in Care of Fantastic Beasts.

"That... I'm taking the liberty," Anaska considered her tone, "My hospital has been very busy recently. When I check the animals, I often don't have time to estimate the pet store... Moreover, with so many animals, I also faintly I can't take care of it. I've actually been thinking about getting someone else to run the business with me recently. If you're not busy, would you come and help me? We can share the income...seriously, the profit Probably not a lot. However, Nina's lunch and afternoon tea are well done."

Lupine did not speak for almost half a minute.

Anaska couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in the silence, she regretted bringing up this topic, maybe she made the help too obvious, which would hurt the other party's self-esteem.

"I'm sorry, if you feel uncomfortable, forget what I said." Anaska lowered her head, wishing she could disappear in place.

"No, I just... don't know how to thank you." Lupine laughed. "Of course I'd like to take the job. It's really nice."

Anaska breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think I'm about to go back. To be honest, I'm not so sure Siri...the cold will stay at home. He looked very irritable last week." Lupine tilted his head resignedly, "I'm worried about him What's wrong with one person?"

"Well, good." Anaska couldn't help imagining Sirius bored alone, and then unconsciously thought of Black.

Almost smiled.

Lupine stood up, shook hands with Anaska, was about to leave, then turned around and apologized: "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't scare you by choosing this place, it's the least annoying thing I can think of. The Ministry of Magic is here... Just now, you seem to be in a little trouble."

"It's okay." Anaska said, she really didn't care about that little trouble anymore.

Anaska hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Is my dress weird? Is it not too Muggle-like? Others seem to think that I am out of place."

"No." Lupine didn't seem to expect her to ask that question, his eyes visibly widened slightly, "Well...it may not be appropriate for me to say this, but...if they always look at you, I think it's because you're beautiful."

The startled person was replaced by Anaska, who hadn't expected this answer, and wasn't quite sure if it was a compliment.

"...Thank you." Anaska answered unnaturally.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the mug beside her hitting the table again, the sound was much louder than before.

Anaska was inexplicably concerned about the source of the voice, but the location Lupine found was hidden and remote, and there was indeed no one around.With vague doubts, Anaska returned to Hogsmeade village alone.

Remus Lupine showed up at the gate of Hogsmeade on time the next day, carrying a bag of books, all about fantastic animals.

Under Anaska's surprised gaze, Lupine smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot what I learned before, I want to review it again, maybe I can help a little more."

Anaska immediately gave Lupine free access to her study.

At the bar, Anaska was telling the truth, she was literally overwhelmed.As the reputation of the pet hospital and pet store gradually increased, there were many people who made appointments every day to see her pets, and the free time was getting less and less. The leisurely leisure like the day Ms. Rosmerta visited is very rare. .

Lupine's arrival is undoubtedly a huge boost to Anaska.He has a serious personality, is patient, and is kind to animals.However, probably because Lupine had a somewhat animal smell, the cats and rabbits were not very willing to get close to him at first.Fortunately, this situation did not last long. When Lupine appeared with food, the animals did not hesitate to ignore the wolf's breath on him.

After all, men have better physical strength than women. Anaska's laborious physical work is all done by Lupine, and she only needs to complete the work of waving the wand.

After a long absence, Anaska was finally able to sit down on time and have a good meal this day.

Nina was so happy that she almost fainted when she cooked meals for one more person. She likes being busy in the kitchen the most, not to mention that one more person will praise her cooking skills later.

Originally, it was only out of good intentions to help, but Anaska really discovered the benefits brought to her by these things.Plus, she unexpectedly discovered that she could be friends with Lupine at all.

Although Lupine was friends with Sirius, Anaska suddenly realized that she had not known much about this man until now.Apart from James, she barely interacted with anyone else Sirius knew.

Remus Lupine is nothing like Sirius, he is mostly gentle and quiet, but occasionally has a sense of humor.Probably because he was always reading, Lupine's knowledge was surprisingly profound, covering everything from the north to the south, not just the protection of magical animals that Anaska knew.

"Which subject were you best at?" Anaska asked during the tea break.

"Probably Defense Against the Dark Arts." Lupine thought for a moment before answering, "Because I am a werewolf, I have put a lot of effort into this area, and I hoped to find a way to control it before."

Defense Against the Dark Arts...

Anaska remembered the news she had heard from a current Hogwarts student, a beautiful Ravenclaw, one Saturday long ago.

Severus Snape was hired by Dumbledore as early as half a year ago as a professor at Hogwarts, letting him teach Potions, which he is best at, even though Snape wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts very much art professor.

The little Ravenclaw spent most of the afternoon complaining about Snape's Potions grade. She thought her finished product was obviously much better than the others, but the grade she got was the same as another one that almost boiled the pot. Like Slytherin.

She kept talking about Snape's sunken, sallow face, his perennially eerie expression, and vowed to call the Auror office and report that Severus Snape was a Death Eater who had slipped through the cracks. .

Anaska actually wondered for a while why Snape wasn't imprisoned in Azkaban.As far as she knew, Snape had planned to follow the Dark Lord very early on, and among those who became Death Eaters, he was definitely the first group.

But Dumbledore vouched for Snape's character.

Anaska thought about it, and couldn't remember when Dumbledore and Snape established a firm relationship of trust.

As for Snape, Anaska always felt that she couldn't understand him well.

He is Lily's childhood sweetheart, but also a Slytherin; he seems to have a deep affection for Lily, but he is on a path that runs counter to her.

Snape did not show up at the Potters' grand funeral.

Given that Anaska hadn't seen Snape since graduation, it was impossible to say whether he still had the same strong affection for Lily as a student.

After pondering for a long time, Anaska failed to come up with any answer.

When it was closing time, Lupine said goodbye and left.Anaska was so long away that she could still straighten her waist, which was almost impossible in the recent period.

I don't know if it's because of Lu Ping's visit, but the rabbits in the yard seem to be very lively today, and the excitement at home is not quite right.From time to time Anaska had the illusion that there were at least three people in the house.

After Lupine had been working with her for more than a week, this feeling was even more obvious.

Soon after Lupine arrived, the rabbits would boil like never before, rolling and running in the grass.And most of the time, Lupine wasn't looking after the rabbits.

Another obvious change was that the goblins in Anaska's yard, who had damaged the fence and lawn, moved away spontaneously with their families.The goblins seemed to be pulled out of the soil by someone or an animal, and were thrown out after being thrown back and forth several times. In short, all of them looked terrified and confused.

The evidence is the radish-like pits left on the ground.

Anaska originally thought that Lupine was helping, but Lupine denied it.Then she couldn't help but think of Sirius, but quickly deleted the guess from her mind.is it possible?Sirius ran to this place where dementors would appear at any time?

It was true, however, that she hadn't seen Sirius for a long time.

Anaska always tried to keep her thoughts away from Sirius Black, but obviously it had little effect.So much so that now she herself doesn't know what she is worried about, but she is just intuitively afraid of seeing him.

This month, Ms. Rosmerta had been so concerned about Anaska that she wanted to visit her ten times a day to make sure that she was still in good health and that nothing had been suddenly cut off.

Ms. Rosmerta didn't know that Lupine was a werewolf, she seemed to be very optimistic about this young man.

"Why don't you guys hang out together on your day off?" Ms. Rosmerta kindly suggested. "Cultivating a relationship—in every way—is beneficial."

As soon as she had finished speaking, an unidentified gust of wind blew away her bag and hat, which contained her wand, and Ms. Rosmerta had to run after them.For the next five hours, the hostess of the Three Broomsticks did not show up again.

For Anaska, this seemed to be a time of leisure and hope.

If Pettigrew Peter is not dead, then as long as he is caught and forced to go to the Ministry of Magic to state his crimes, Sirius can be proved innocent.

However, the return of her rat friends makes this hope even more difficult to realize.

The exhausted group of rats arrived late at night, and they told Anaska that they had gathered all the rats who were willing to help, and traveled all over the streets and alleys of the UK. In the past half a year, tens of thousands of gray rats of unknown origin had migrated. According to statistics, at least one toe is broken and the body is relatively large, there are at least more than 2000 of them. If only London is considered, there are about [-] of them.

There are so many mice, just imagining the picture makes one's scalp tingle.

Anaska swallowed, and finally made a decision.As a reward, she put down a hunk of cheese and told them, "Bring all those gray mice to...here, thank you."

The mice hugged Cheese, looked at each other with small black round eyes like mung beans for a while, and then nodded solemnly to Anaska.

Anaska opened the gate and let them go.The rats carried cheese that was larger than their body size, and disappeared into the sewer with difficulty.

The moonlight that night was extraordinarily bright, like a Ming Shuo hanging in the dark night curtain, dimming the starlight.

The next full moon is coming.

The author has something to say: One chapter is worth two chapters today! !

Praise me Q mouth Q! !There are so few comments recently that my heart is broken into dregs.

_(:з」∠)_It is said that I learned an amazing news yesterday.

At that time, the handsome uncle Ben had just finished dating the most beautiful girl in the school, Ms. Library, and returned to the dormitory in the dark night. The little beautiful girl who played close to me told me that the cute girl in our dormitory had already taken care of one. Sao Nian is a guy from the same department as her student union.

I was shocked at the time, because Mengmeizhi and I belonged to the same department, but I didn't even recognize the faces of the people in the department, let alone their names...

==So much so that when the cute girl told me the name of that young man, I didn't even remember which one it was! ! ! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

In short, I was shocked, today the whole person is in shock Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

I originally thought that if someone in the dormitory fell in love, at least two weeks of ambiguity first, and then we cheered; then during the confession stage, we cheered and applauded; during the passionate love stage, we could still listen to gossip and so on.

It's so bland and fast and unscientific! ! ! ┌(.Д.)┐
