Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

The staff meeting without the headmaster is over, and Professor McGonagall has an ugly face, and to be honest she is very contradictory now.More than ten years ago, when Lupine entered Hogwarts to study, she also opposed it, but her long-term trust in Dumbledore made her finally give in.And Lupine was also different from the werewolf she imagined. He was a boy who was full of inferiority complex and gentle to the point of cowardly. But at the time, it seemed that he was lucky to have a good friend who could ignore his status and spent a happy time. And safe for seven academic years.

Although it turns out that Lupine is harmless, and he even became the prefect back then, although there are reasons for her and Dumbledore's care, there is no doubt that he is an excellent Gryffindor.Professor McGonagall hopes to be able to defend her lover, but she is not as eloquent as Dumbledore.Moreover, what Quirrell said was not wrong in some respects - regardless of personal feelings, just talking about the facts, a werewolf becoming a professor is the most irresponsible for the safety of the students.

Besides, Lupine had resigned himself, and now all she could do was write to Dumbledore.

Mag sighed and was the first to walk out of Quirrell's office.

Flitwick and Sprout hugged Lupine first. They agreed with Lupine's statement that "he is also a victim", but they used to be Lupin's professors, and now they are also professors of more students.If you don't want more children to become victims like Lupine, then the correct way is not to accept Lupine as one of them, but to let him leave the children.

"Sorry, my boy." Personally, they were sorry, but as professors, they made the right choice.

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout." Lupine smiled bitterly, and the fatigue on his face became more and more obvious.

After embracing Lupine, the two professors shook hands with Quirrell again, and Flitwick even whispered thank you - Flitwick knew he was timid, and Sprout had a habit of not doing anything, plus They also have a great headmaster with a great reputation, so before Quirrell came, Hogwarts was just what the headmaster said, and what the next one would do.However, since Quirrell's arrival, this situation has changed a lot, and it has also made the two professors understand that they have done a lot of mistakes... Fortunately, they did not understand it too late, and there is still time to make up for it.

Lupine smiled wryly at Snape, and was about to go out with the two deans, but Quirrell stopped him: "There are four or ten minutes before class, enough for us to continue talking."

"Is there anything else to say, Professor Quirrell?" No matter how good-tempered he was, he lost his job under almost naked coercion from Quirrell, and the original good temper disappeared.Lupine really wanted to leave directly, but after all, he couldn't make a move to push Quirrell away, so he could only sit back on the sofa with a face of forbearance.

"Severus, what's the matter?" Seeing Lupine sit down, Quirrell turned to Snape.

"Not now, goodbye, Professor Quirrell, goodbye, Lu, Ping, Professor, Professor." Snape nodded to Quirrell with a wooden face, and then showed a mocking and smug smile at Lupine—— It was the first time Luo knew that Snape the Iceberg Man could also show such a vivid expression, but just now both McGonagall and Lupine himself mentioned Wolfsbane Potion.And who else in Hogwarts can help Dumbledore brew the wolfsbane potion besides Snape?But recently Snape's behavior is closer to Death Eaters, why didn't he mention anything about Lupine?Knowing that Draco and Harry are at Hogwarts, isn't he afraid that the two children will be bitten?

Judging from these actions of Snape, he was defending Lupine at the risk of being discovered and reprimanded by Quirrell.Even his indifference and eccentricity towards Lupin just now can be manifested as deliberately acting for Quirrell.It means "you see, I hate him very much, it has nothing to do with him", and it is actually to prevent Quirrell from paying more attention to Lupine.After that, he even stayed until the end. He was still afraid that something would happen to Lupine, right?

Suddenly, Quirrell had a strange association...

Couldn't Snape have a "deep friendship" with Lupine?Even Lucius didn't make Snape work so hard. Of course, Lucius is strong enough, and it's one thing not to need his protection. However, this Lupine is not weak except for being self-righteous.

The expression on Quirrell's face became more and more strange. Snape was covered in cold sweat, and Lupine was at a loss.At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the white iron knight who guarded the door told Quirrell that two students had come to visit.

"Harry, Draco?"

"Professor Quirrell, we... Dean Snape, Professor Lupine?" The two children obviously didn't expect that there were so many people in Quirrell's office at this time.Harry immediately threw Quirrell behind him, and the puppy quickly rushed to Snape's side as if seeing its master.

"Headmaster, the Potions Book you introduced to me is very beautiful. I am trying to recite it, and I have memorized three pages of 120." The green-eyed savior looked at Snape longingly, with words written all over his face. Praise me, praise me", Quirrell saw a fluffy tail behind him in a trance~ Seeing that it was a pig, Snape obviously froze for a moment, and then he hurriedly dropped a sentence: "Let's go to class The time is coming, don't you think that as the savior, even time is under your control?" Then the black robe left Quirrell's office.There was only Harry Potter left, smiling so much that he could see the little tongue in his throat.

Seeing this scene, Lupine opened his mouth wide in horror. Even if Quirrell revealed his identity not long ago, he was not frightened like this.However, Quirrell felt that Lupine's performance indirectly proved his conjecture.So, while Lupine was still in shock and Harry was still in a daze, Quirrell leaned into Drake's ear and whispered: "Professor Lupine is probably Harry's rival in love, and Professor Lupine and your dean are even It's almost as good as not being in love with each other. And, even if Lupine leaves, there is no need to hide his identity."

Drake reached out and touched the egg in Quirrell's hand. The expression on his face was the joy and joy of a good brother. No one could guess what Quirrell said from the expression on his face.Quirrell nodded in his heart. Although Draco is still a little immature, he has already begun to have the characteristics of a real Malfoy.

The two children actually came here because of what Quirrell said before. Quirrell was right. The obvious "be careful on the night of the full moon" had already made them guess Lupine's identity.But this news is too unbelievable.So, Harry and Drake were pushed to find Quirrell for further confirmation.

But now that Lupine was there, they naturally thought that Professor Quirrell had resolved the matter, and Drake had received further instructions. After Harry returned to normal, he directly stated that he was For those who came to see his younger brother, Harry just accompanied him, and did not bother the professors.Then he left Quirrell's office. After all, Drake needed time to think about how to guide Harry to guess the relationship between Lupine and Snape. In addition, Lupine's identity should be informed to other students as soon as possible, and let them tell own parents.Otherwise, once Dumbledore came back, things would not be so easy.

The children were gone, and Lupine didn't know that one of the children was going to bring more trouble to him, to Dumbledore, and to the now shaky Order of the Phoenix.He's just still in fear!How familiar is Harry's performance, isn't that exactly what James does every time he talks to Lily?

Although Lupine did not approve of the violent behavior towards Snape by his friends during his school days, it did not mean that he could accept James' child...Snape—that word was too terrifying to him, he even Can't figure it out in my mind!

"Professor Lupine? Professor Lupine?"

"Yes, sorry, I was distracted."

"It's okay, what I want to talk to you is, do you think about getting a job in the upcoming factory in the wolf colony?" Quirrell asked the elf to bring them new tea, the original one was already freezing.

"Is this a charity, Professor Quirrell."

"It's really interesting." Quirrell took a sip of tea and laughed, "It's a charity for me to introduce you to a job where you don't have to be afraid. Then Principal Dumbledore let you come to this Hogwarts. This will give countless The place where children bring great danger is not charity? I don’t understand your values ​​very much. For you, only the behavior that will bring huge unequal payment is not pity and charity, but Is it legitimate help?"

"you!"

"You know, Professor Lupine, I don't want to ridicule you, and I don't want to ridicule you. I just want to help you, as you just said, you are also an innocent victim, and you should also have the right to have your own Work and life. Or..." Quirrell suddenly stopped all his movements, staring straight at Lupine with black eyes, "Or do you think that working with a group of werewolves is an insult to you?"

"..." Lupine pursed his lips, but did not answer.

But Quirrell laughed out loud as if he had discovered something interesting: "Are you ashamed of being a werewolf?"

Lupine hesitated for a moment, raised his head and nodded to Quirrell: "Yes, I didn't know that other people's shame made you so happy!"

"You are a coward, Remus John Lupine."

"Although I know that I may be defeated by you and even lose my life, but if you continue to insult me ​​like this, then..."

"Don't you think you're not? Not accepting reality, running from reality, ashamed of yourself. You just want to hide among wizards, even in tattered robes, and pretend to be a wizard. But what have you done? What a wizard should do? Research potions? Research spells? Archeology? Alchemy? Don't say anything because you are a werewolf, so no one will give you a chance. At the very least, go to the wild to pick potions and sell them, and cultivate a piece of land for farming , or pushing a candy cart around the streets selling candy and ice cream, is that enough to support yourself? But you do it? You don't think wizards are just wearing beautiful robes and dealing with paperwork in a clean office, do you? "

"I..." Lupine's face flushed red, but Quirrell didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

"You look down on werewolves, but there are many people in the werewolf colony who have the same experience as you, but your action to prevent me from purchasing potion materials is obviously a failure, so why don't even those werewolves who have the same disease as you never respond to your call? ?Because you think you are a wizard, hate the werewolf part of you, hate all werewolves, so you may not feel it yourself, but the actual action is aloof. Maybe you want to say that you don't, and you don't Maybe you did not show it in your actions, but werewolves are sensitive, and they feel much more than you and I imagined." Quirrell got up and went into the study, and then came back with an envelope, "This is My recommendation letter, you can find a job in a factory in a werewolf colony. I am not saying that you should let go of your hatred of werewolves, but you have to face the reality when you live. Whether you hate or like it, some things are destined to be It's useless to follow one person for the rest of my life. Maybe you can organize the workers in the factory to stop selling me medicinal materials and find another buyer? I believe it will definitely give me a headache." Quirrell said jokingly with.

In fact, Lupine is very similar to Quirrell, they both reluctantly accepted an identity they didn't like.Originally, Quirrell only wanted to be an ordinary professor, but in order to live, he had to be the Dark Lord. But at this stage, it seems that the part-time job of the Dark Lord is more promising. Not only does he have a caring partner, he even has children. up.

In fact, it is not so difficult for Lupine to do something among werewolves. After all, he is one of the few werewolves who have entered Hogwarts and have a magic wand. If he is not always alienated from werewolves, even if Dumbledore He wouldn't even go to a werewolf settlement, so with his ability, he should become a little leader.Then, with the help of the contacts he established when he was studying at Hogwarts, he exchanged goods from the werewolf world and the wizard world. Although he couldn't lead the werewolves to rise, at least it would make the werewolves have much better conditions than they have now. .

But should it be the gap between Gryffindor and Slytherin?Gryffindor always acts according to the whim, and always puts his own feelings first. In Quirrell's words, "It's hard to buy, I am willing." out.Slytherins always put the interests of the family first, and they behave in what is called hypocrisy. Although they also have a sensitive and emotional heart, as long as they are for the family, what is their own feelings?

Quirrell suddenly fell silent, because he thought of Abraxas again. In fact, thinking about the things that happened between him and Lucius so far, you can know that he is so similar to his father—if Quirrell hadn’t once With the first concession, there will only be a second tragedy between him and him.

Lupine's forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked at the letter with extremely complicated eyes. It was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. After an unknown period of time, Lupine let out a long sigh and pushed the letter away: "Although your words are harsh, some The words are actually quite right. But for some reasons we both know, I can't accept this letter. But I will cheer up, thank you, thank you for waking me up."

At this moment, the tiredness on the werewolf's face disappeared, replaced by a resolute self-confidence.

"You're welcome, goodbye, Professor Lupine."

"Goodbye, Professor Quirrell."
