[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Lupine watched Harry's back disappear at the top of the stairs before turning his head and glanced in another direction seemingly unintentionally.He was sure that a black figure had been watching here just now.Thinking of Snape's cold speech on the first day of school, Lupine couldn't help showing a smile, and went outside the castle to teach the students.

Harry didn't know how Professor Lupine's first class was, but Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was a total disaster.

The adventures described in Lockhart's books are too wonderful, and his shining blond hair, white teeth and blue eyes make students (especially girls) who have smelled garlic all year Defense Against the Dark Arts had great expectations, and even Hermione was moved by Lockhart's expression in the book that he wanted to get the great and noble birthday gift of "I hope people who know magic and people who don't have magic can coexist peacefully" , and even got perfect marks on Lockhart's ridiculous questionnaire.

But the result turned out to be a big disappointment for everyone. The elves in Cornwall who were the "class material" made a big noise in the class. Not only was Lockhart unable to stop it, but even his own wand was thrown out of the window by the elves. Finally Had to run away and left the aftermath work to Harry and the others.

When Harry, Ron and Hermione rescued the unlucky Neville from the chandelier, all four of them sighed in unison.

"I can't believe that Lockhart is like this... like this..." Hermione looked at the door of the classroom angrily. Just now Lockhart didn't even stop the elves from hanging Neville on the chandelier. escaped, but her upbringing still didn't allow her to criticize a professor too harshly. "He has done so many amazing things..."

"It's just that he said he did..." Ron couldn't help mumbling.He had long been dissatisfied with Mrs. Weasley's admiration for Lockhart.

Hermione blushed and murmured without saying a word.She couldn't deny that, compared to other wizards she had met, such as Sirius, Lockhart was indeed just a good-looking idiot.

"Why am I always so unlucky." Neville drooped his head in frustration, looking at his robe that was torn by the elf. "Well, I thought there could be no worse class than Potions."

The friends patted Neville on the shoulder sympathetically to express their comfort.Originally they tried to take today's Defense Against the Dark Arts as a joke, but the disappointment still lingered in their hearts, especially after they heard how interesting Professor Lupin's class was, the disappointment became even more serious .

"I wish I could be in...Professor... Lupine's class right now," Harry said, poking at a potato on his plate. "Why didn't he come to apply for Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Harry remembered Sirius saying that Lupine was still a Gryffindor prefect back then, and he must have had good attainments in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Ron guessed: "I heard that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed, maybe it's for this reason!"

"I've also heard that no professor seems to be able to stay in this position until the second year." Neville also said.

But even if Lupine's position hadn't been cursed, he'd still been sick just two weeks into term.When Harry went to Lupine's office to find him and went to Hagrid's for tea, he happened to meet Professor Snape with an unhappy expression on his face to deliver him the potion.

"It's time for you to drink the potion, Lupine." Snape bluntly handed the goblet full of potion to Lupin. "I made a big pot, which can make you drink to your heart's content."

When he walked in, Snape's black eyes glanced at Harry who was standing aside, who was a little embarrassed, with a very strange look on his face.

Harry felt a little guilty because there were so many things he hadn't told Professor Snape and Aunt Jody before, but he felt like they knew everything.Harry had always thought that Professor Snape was mad at him for this, but now it seemed that Professor Snape still cared about him—with no one else in the room, Snape seemed to take that kind of Worry was showing a little more than usual, but Harry couldn't figure out what he was worried about.

"Thank you, Severus." Lupine took the potion and said gratefully, "I'm afraid I need some more these days."

"You're welcome, I'll get it to you on time," Snape said.If it weren't for the worry that Lupine would find Jody, he wouldn't mind letting Lupine do more errands by himself. "You'd better drink it right away."

The potion tasted so bad that Lupine bit the bullet and drank it all under Snape's watchful eye.Snape took away the steaming mug, took another look at Harry, and left the room.

It wasn't until Snape left that Lupine showed an ugly expression and made a face at Harry: "Oh, my God, this smell..."

"Are you sick?" Harry asked concerned.

"My body has always been a bit of a problem, but unfortunately I have not been good at making potions since I was in school, unlike your mother, and this potion is particularly difficult to make... Fortunately, there is Professor Snape who can help me make this kind of potion." Potion." Lupine smacked his lips, "too bad it can't have sugar..."

Harry had an indescribable feeling that Professor Snape seemed to dislike seeing him with Remus even more than usual today, although he didn't show it clearly this time.

"Okay, let's go to Hagrid's!" But before Harry could figure it out, Lupine patted him on the shoulder and said, "I think Hagrid made some tea, maybe I can have some of his creamy soft serve too." sugar……"

Lupine spoke in a relaxed tone, but couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.He knew that Harry was a smart kid and quite studious, would Harry discover his identity as a werewolf?If he knew that he was a werewolf, what kind of reaction would he have?

"You don't have to worry about this. Even if Harry finds out, he won't have any special prejudice against you just because of this." Sirius said firmly.He had already planned out the day and made an appointment with Lupine to drink at the Pig's Head Bar on the first weekend after the full moon. "By the way, that...Snape..."

Sirius spat out Snape's last name very bluntly, and their private relationship was much worse than Harry had seen, especially after the last conversation.Sirius did thank Snape for his part in saving Regulus' life and for his help, but he still couldn't stand Snape's disgustingly sharp tone.

"The potion Severus made for me is very effective." Mentioning the potion, Lupine's usually calm expression was a little excited.For the first time in so many years, he spent the time of the full moon so easily.Although the potion couldn't change the reality that he was a werewolf, he was very satisfied that he could retain his sanity and spend those few days curled up quietly in his room.

Sirius snorted, "That's good."

"Padfoot, Severus won't..." Lupine didn't finish.He understood that Sirius asked him out for a drink today entirely because he was worried about his old friend working with Snape, especially since he still had to rely on Snape to provide potions.The last time Sirius and Snape had a bad conversation.

Of course, it is impossible to have any pleasant conversations based on the relationship between them all the time, not to mention the old saying that Sirius' pranks were brought up again, even though Sirius' original intention was to explain and apologize, so that Snape would not be angry at the time. Unbeknownst to Lupine.

In fact, after hearing about this incident, even Lupine felt that Sirius' prank plan was too much. Fortunately, Snape was not fooled, and James stopped Sirius in time. Will the rational self bite off Snape's neck in one bite, and things will only get out of hand by then.

"By the way, I saw that Harry flies very well." However, Lupine didn't want to bring up what happened so many years ago and blame Sirius who had already realized his mistake.So he smiled and changed the direction to cut into the topic he wanted to say to Sirius, "Just like James back then."

"Am I right?" When talking about Harry's flying talent, Sirius' tone was extremely proud. "Harry is just as good at Quidditch as Prongs. He joined the Quidditch team in the first grade and fulfilled the dream of Prongs. If Prongs knows, he will be very happy..." Speaking of James , Sirius seemed a little depressed, but he immediately continued in a cheerful tone. "Harry won Slytherin last year, I really wanted to see Snape's face then..."

"But I heard that last year, Harry encountered a curse during the Quidditch match." Lupine gave a general account of what happened to Quirrell last year. "Fortunately, Harry was safe with Severus present."

"...Harry never told me about this." Sirius gasped when he heard that, and couldn't help curling his lips because of Snape's name.

"Padfoot, I know you don't have a good relationship with Severus, but I'm sure Severus also cares about Harry." Lupine said impartially, "At least for Harry...Harry is a very perceptive Boy, he wouldn't want his esteemed professor to have such a bad relationship with his dear godfather."

Unbeknownst to Harry, his expression in Lupine's office that day caused Lupine to misunderstand a little.Lupine had always assumed that Harry's expression was entirely due to Snape's bad relationship with Sirius and himself.

Sirius picked up the wine glass, a helpless expression appeared on his handsome face, "Yes, of course I know this. Harry has always trusted Snape..." He drank the wine in the glass with a wry smile, " I showed up too late for Harry."

Lupine also smiled helplessly, but then frowned: "However, there is one thing about Severus that I find very strange."

"strangeness?"

"Padfoot, do you remember the Severus we met in Godric's Hollow a few years ago?" Lupine tapped his fingers subconsciously on the handle of the beer glass.

Lupine was very impressed with Snape that day.Because at that time Snape looked as exaggeratedly thin as Sirius who had been on the run, which was abnormal in view of Snape's supposedly comfortable living environment at Hogwarts.But when they met again at Hogwarts this time, Lupine found that Snape's face was slightly pale, but he looked much healthier than before, not so thin, and looked more energetic .

"I didn't pay attention." Sirius shrugged. At that time, his attention was on Harry, so why would he pay attention to Snape's appearance?He was about to ask Lupine why he suddenly mentioned this, but he was attracted by someone who had just walked into the bar. "Hey, it's that Lockhart and Bubbaji, and..."
