[HP] Missy and Mischief

Chapter 17 Stone Staircase

The next day, Cassandra carried a familiar black box up the narrow spiral stone steps, and Harry followed her step by step.It could be seen that the boy had a lot of questions and wanted to be explained, but Cassandra had no intention of communicating with him.

——She strengthened her idea since the third grade: don't get close to the savior, it will bring misfortune.

"Snape he can't..." Harry muttered.

Cassandra emphasized her tone: "Professor Snape."

"Okay, Professor Snape!" Harry repeated angrily: "Professor Snape, he can't announce to all the students in Slytherin that Professor Lupine is a werewolf in the early morning! The whole school knows, and he is going to leave the school." ...And I have to go with you to see Dumbledore, and I can't say goodbye to him..."

"He nearly killed you, Potter!"

Harry tried hard to convince her: "But you can't deny that he is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in recent years!"

"Isn't your rich godfather going to show his mercy and give his poor friend a job as a financial advisor or something - as a short-lived professor at Hogwarts?" Cassandra dismissed.

The two of them quarreled with each other and didn't stop until they passed through the Dripping Stone Beast.

Dumbledore sat in the back of the large office, hands folded, elbows resting on the table.It looked like he had just finished talking with other people, and the empty teacup on the table hadn't had time to remove it.

After half a year, Cassandra came to this circular office again, but there was almost no difference in her mood between the two times... that is, she was unhappy.

"Sit down, sit down." Dumbledore waved his wand, and a comfortable high stool and two cups of warm hot milk appeared in front of them.

"I don't think I have anything to say, since Professor Snape has chosen to make it public," Cassandra calmly looked at the powerful white wizard in front of her, "If he chooses to hide it, I will also write to the school board of."

"I didn't question your intentions, Miss Wolflin." Dumbledore stood up from behind the long table, his white beard hanging down to his waist. "There is nothing wrong with choosing to believe in legal provisions and various regulations, but their lag and the position of the framers often affect our judgment."

He slightly raised his hand to stop Harry's eager rebuttal, and continued: "The wizarding society generally has resistance and hostility towards werewolves, and thinks that werewolves in the non-full moon period are also very dangerous. Ms. Umbridge of the Ministry of Magic advocated the adoption of the anti The Werewolf Act, and the Werewolf Code of Conduct from 1637 to the present, I am sure you all know."

That "you" obviously only includes Cassandra, whose mother, Lucia Wolflin, works for the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division.

At this time, Cassandra didn't know that two years later, a toad would completely shatter her belief in the law and her love for pink.

She nodded, and Dumbledore continued: "Ministry of Magic Lyle Lupine also said that werewolves were 'soulless, evil creatures who deserved to die'. This prejudiced statement eventually led to His own son was bitten into a werewolf by Greyberg, when Remus Lupine was only five years old."

Cassandra's eyes widened. She sadly found that she could not find a law that would make Lupine deserve what he deserved, but was forced to glimpse a corner of his tragic fate.

"Professor Lupine may not be ready to tell you everything, Harry. Because he fears discrimination from those close to him more than physical pain."

"I won't discriminate against him, Professor!" Harry immediately proved himself.

"Of course, when he was enrolled at Hogwarts, he asked me if I could make friends, and I answered the same way." Dumbledore smiled and blinked, "He is very lucky to have a few friends who are not only friendly to him , and even overcome great difficulties for him, and become friends of Animagus."

"Including Black and Pettigrew," Cassandra said thoughtfully.

"Including Black and Peter Pettigrew." Dumbledore repeated calmly, "The deep friendship allowed them to conceal Lupine's identity as a werewolf during the seven years of their student career, and accompanied him in the form of Animagus." Spent every full moon night at the Screaming Shack. I believe they did a good job of hiding it from everyone except Professor Snape who followed him out of curiosity. The next thing, Sirius may have told you, Harry... Lupine in werewolf form nearly bit Snape, and your father saved his life."

Cassandra was thoughtful: "So the professor took the initiative to brew Wolf's Poison for him?"

Harry: "The wolfsbane potion is the potion that can keep Professor Lupine awake?" He was as shocked as Sirius who was told the truth last night, and at the same time felt a rare shame towards Snape.

"Not all, Lupine and I asked him to provide the necessary help..." Dumbledore's eyes suddenly showed a little smile, "Professor Snape would not mind watching his former enemy have to rely on himself to spend the full moon period, and the cup of potion was smashed yesterday, I think this short-lived helping relationship has also been declared broken."

"It is dangerous to be inconsistent with humans. Werewolves, centaurs, mermaids... are all like this. This is the consensus of the magic world for thousands of years. But wizards often ignore one point, that is, wizards can produce a demon full of evil like Voldemort. Head, who said that among the magical creatures, there will be no kindness towards humans?" Dumbledore's blue eyes were a little sharp behind the lens, "It is not easy to change the concept of people who are not my race, but to other races The idea of ​​rejection is very easy to arise, children, I hope you don't become that kind of person. And if you appear to be different from others, please try to think about how you want to be treated..."

Harry immediately thought of the last school year, when Parseltongue was forced to be exposed, and the criticism and prejudice he encountered from the whole school... He suddenly felt restless.

Cassandra lowered her head, silently grasping the hem of the skirt with her white-gloved hands.

There was a strange silence in the principal's office.

Both Cassandra and Harry were thinking about Dumbledore's words, until the heel of her leather shoe accidentally touched the suitcase next to her, making a slight noise.

"Professor Dumbledore, this is a generous gift from Mr. Black." Cassandra resumed her cold and reserved expression, and calmly said the lines she had prepared when she came: "But I don't think I have received anything." Since I have the sole discretion to dispose of them, I wish to donate these ancient relics of the Black family to the school honors gallery."

As she said that, she opened the box flat and placed it on the table, with the small gold locket on top.

The moment Harry saw it, he felt a burning pain in the scar on his forehead. Strangely, he hadn't seen this thing in Black's old house.

"Oh—no!" He covered his scar in pain.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, he didn't even bother to comfort Harry, he quickly stepped forward and picked up the locket, stared at it for a long time, and then said——

"It's beyond my expectations. Miss Wolflin, the Sorting Hat's judgment has never been trusted by me at this moment... Judging the situation, I have a strong desire to protect myself..."

"You're a real Slytherin," he said finally.

The author has something to say:

There is no update, it is just split into two chapters, and there will be more at night.

Suggest re-reading the previous chapter, and apologies again:

I love everyone in the original book equally except Umbridge, and I don't mean to discredit Sirius deliberately. If it makes reading uncomfortable, please leave a comment so that I can modify it.
