if i am not me

Hogwarts, bathed in the sun, was unusually quiet and serene due to the lack of noise from the usual students, but it also had a touch of loneliness.A silver-haired old man in the tallest spire silently watched the sunlight pouring into the room from the window. After a long while, a deep sigh rang out in the room.

The old man stroked the silver instrument in his hand silently. His usually wise eyes were covered by drooping eyelids, making it impossible for people to peek into the heart of this wise old man.Even in his exclusive office, he still won't relax his tense nerves. This is a habit, and it's also a kind of sadness.

After a long time, he waved the wand tightly held in the other hand, and the parchment paper on the table disappeared into the air with the sudden appearance of flames.

"Fox..." The golden-red phoenix heard the old man's voice, and uttered a melodious cry in response, disrupting the silence in the room.However, the subsequent sigh remained in the oppressive air in the room for a long time.

Mrs. Visa noticed the movement next door early in the morning. You should know that for a housewife who has finished her housework, there are very few other pleasures in life.Therefore, they will grasp every possible gossip so as to avoid the embarrassment of having no topic in the chat in their spare time.Of course, it was obvious that now she had a good topic to talk about, the family that had just moved in.

It's bad manners to bother a busy new neighbor, so she's just going to have to suffer.Turning around in the kitchen a few times, Mrs. Visa put the blueberry pie that she had just made in the morning into the food box, and kept sticking her head out to pay attention to the movements of the new neighbors.She wanted to get more accurate information as soon as possible. You must know that if her nearest neighbor behaved ignorantly about them at the afternoon tea party, it would be a very embarrassing thing.

The family seemed to have a lot of luggage, because the moving company finally finished its task and left until it was almost lunch time.Mrs. Visa saw the opportunity to open the door and walked to the long-vacant house. She finally didn't have to stay behind the kitchen window to observe secretly—their new neighbor.

Holding the food box, Mrs. Visa rang the doorbell, and soon there were hurried footsteps behind the door.

"Oh, hello..." It was a very beautiful woman who opened the door. Her curly red hair set off her oval-shaped face very movingly. The pair of green eyes under the delicate eyebrows made Mrs. Visa momentarily absent-minded. ——This is a beauty that makes even women admire.

Mrs. Weisa suppressed the surprise and jealousy in her heart, and said to the woman with a smile, "Hello, uh... I'm Elu Weisa, I live next door to you, and I saw you moved here today, so I just..." She, who is usually eloquent, hesitated to speak at this time. Mrs. Wisa was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she still wanted to continue.

"I made my own blueberry pie. I thought you might be too busy." After speaking, Mrs. Visa seemed relieved and handed the food box in front of the woman, and she received a pleasant response from the woman.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Visa, I'm Lily Potter." After speaking, he took the food box with both hands. "Oh, you see, even a messy home can't entertain you..." The apologetic smile dispelled the trace of jealousy in his heart, at least for now.Mrs. Visa hurriedly said that she would not mind, after all, she also knew that the family had just moved here and it was a busy time.But it seems that the information she got now can only be the appearance of the hostess and the names of the family, but as long as she doesn't know everything, that's enough.They've formed a "friendship" now, haven't they?

Just when Mrs. Visa was about to leave, a very magnetic and masculine voice came from inside, although the voice was full of anxiety. "Oh dear, come and help!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Visa took the opportunity to leave. She looked at Mrs. Potter and smiled at her helplessly, feeling that this would be a very easy family to get along with.Of course, she is even more curious now, wondering what Mr. Potter looks like?With a voice like that, I believe he would be a handsome man.

Lily closed the door, shook her head amusedly, and walked into the room. To be honest, she would rather James just sit on the freshly tidied sofa and not move at all—this man is really not suitable to help tidy up the house.

"Honey!" Lily rolled her eyes, and glared fiercely at the innocent man standing in the middle of the room, because the room that was tidied just now is now a mess again.Seeing his wife's fierce eyes, the man hurriedly put down the empty item box in his hand, and smiled awkwardly at the sundries all over the floor, "Uh...I, ah! My time is up, I have to hand over work, hey... ...Well, Lily. I'll go first..."

After speaking, Lily watched James disappear into the room with a "Boom!"After a long time, Lily lamented in a tired voice, "I actually forgot to add an Anti-DisapparationJinx (Anti-Disapparation Curse) to the house..."

At the same time, there was another person who fell into a powerless state like Lily.

The light-brown-haired man looked at the piles of book boxes and the materials that still needed to be used in a whole wall cabinet, and was faced with an unprecedentedly difficult choice.Either throw them all into the box and let his already considerable luggage continue to increase, or...start sorting now and take some away...

No matter how he chooses, it seems to give him a headache, but nothing can be said now.Now that Dumbledore has agreed, he can only choose one of these two.For this old man who had given him too much help, he basically would not refuse any of his requests, not to mention just being a substitute teacher for a year to give Dumbledore more time to find a more suitable teacher.Anyway, his job can continue anywhere, and he hasn't been back to England for many years.

Remus Lupine waved his wand and roughly sorted the messy information into categories, then buried himself in it and began to tidy it up. As a man, he still doesn't like to go out with too much luggage.

Occasionally, he raised his head to look at a photo on the desk, in which four boys and a girl were enthusiastically waving or smiling at him, which made Lupine's original frown relax.There is another reason for agreeing to go this time, that is, James and Lily have also returned to China.It's been a long time since they met, how tall is the little guy now?Moreover, he should go to school this year, and that's why they returned to England...

Thinking of this, Lupine thought of the memory that was almost forcibly forgotten and the child, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.Perhaps, forgetting is really a kind of happiness sometimes.At least now James and Lily are happy...

When they were all troubled, Sirius Black was also having a headache.He is thoroughly investigating a new case, and the law and order has become much worse recently, and the people who had been dormant in the shadows seem to have gotten more and more restless when they got the news that the person appeared again.Flipping through the file in his hand, Sirius felt his temple throbbing, blood seemed to spurt out from it at any moment.

Suddenly, Sirius' hand that was holding the folder quickly reversed and grabbed a wrist that was slapping him from behind.The moment he was about to turn his head, he heard that familiar voice.

"You kid can't take it lightly?"

Raising one hand and throwing the file in the other hand on the table, Sirius put on a playful expression and turned to look at the handsome man standing behind him. "Why are you here so early? I thought you wouldn't show up until at least tomorrow."

"Uh..." James paused when he thought of Lily's fierce stare, and then said nonchalantly, "After all, work is more important."

And of course, he gets nothing but sneering jeers from his best buddies.Sirius looked at James jokingly, "Oh——I thought you were kicked out because you caused too much trouble for Lily..."

James, who was exposed, did not feel the embarrassment that the exposed person should feel. He just smiled calmly, smiled again, and then changed the subject as if he hadn't heard what Sirius said. "Did Remus tell you when he'll be here?"

With a ruffian smile, Sirius no longer struggled with this issue. He waved his wand and poured a cup of coffee for the man who had naturally sat on his exclusive office chair. "He said he had too much to collect," said Sirius, rolling his eyes in a look of extreme annoyance, "so maybe it'll be three days before he arrives."

James twitched his eyes after hearing this, thinking about his seemingly gentle old friend, he could fully understand Sirius' feelings now. "To be honest, I still can't accept that he actually became a scholar..."

"If there is any way, he likes it!" Knowing that the biggest reason Remus chose this profession in the first place was because of his little secret, in fact, they all understand that now let alone James, even he can help Remus find What they thought were more exciting jobs, but Moonface seemed to really fall in love with that peaceful but equally passionate career in his opinion.Therefore, as his good friends, the two of them could only sigh while having to give up letting Remus stop that extremely boring job.

They respect their friends' choices, and Remus' accomplishments really prove he's the stuff.It's just that sometimes, they still disagree with his practice of packing a bag full of books as soon as he goes out.But they could only complain in private, despite Remus' gentle smile, he actually held a grudge.

"But this time he would actually agree to come out of his study to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, which really surprised me. I thought he wanted to die of old age in his study." Drinking had already turned cold coffee, said Sirius.

After chuckling a few times, James shrugged, "Dumbledore will come to ask you personally, I think you will go too." Then he looked at Sirius with a clear look, "I know you are very concerned about him at the previous gatherings." No idea, brother."

Hearing this, Sirius snorted angrily without concealing it, "That bookworm." But then he also laughed, and a gleam of optimism flashed in his eyes. "But this time he will suffer. As far as I know, there are quite a few kids in Hogwarts who can make trouble."

"Oh -- it seems that the little guy won't be lonely anymore." With a smile that made Sirius understand, the two middle-aged men in their 30s began to plan unscrupulously to impart some experience to their baby up.

Trust me this school year, Remus won't be bored.
