[HP] Father?dad!
Chapter 35
He made friends with himself, so that he could act as Neil's boss in places where the dean could not take care of him.Even if it was just because he didn't want to affect the Dean's opinion of him, Draco would not do the stupid thing of breaking up with Neal.
"Why hasn't Hermione come?" Draco was a little impatient when he waited for a long time and didn't see Hermione.At this moment, Hermione walked into the library with messy hair and a thick stack of books in her hands.
Standing at the door of the library and looking around, Hermione finally found Neil and Draco sitting in the far corner.Walking straight over, Hermione was still panting, "Sorry, I'm late." Saying that, Hermione put the book on the table.
"It's okay." Neil pulled the seat away for Hermione. "Take a breath first."
Hermione sat on the chair without any image, and it took several minutes before Hermione calmed down. "Sorry, I just finished class."
Neil shook his head, saying it was okay.Seeing Hermione's sloppy look, Draco gave a light bark, but didn't make a sound.
Hermione sat up again, leaning forward slightly. "Did you know? Black actually broke into Harry's dormitory yesterday!" Speaking of which, Hermione had a lingering fear on her face.
"What?" Neilton's expression changed immediately, "Is there something wrong with Harry?!" He only knew that Black broke into the Gryffindor tower, but he didn't know that Black actually broke into Harry's dormitory!
"Fortunately, it's okay." Hermione shook her head. "I don't know if Black ran away for too long and became confused, or what happened. Instead of finding Harry, he touched Ron's bedside instead. According to Ron, Black took A knife cut through the curtains of his bed and woke him up. Luckily he was screaming so loud that Blake was scared away."
"You mean, Black broke into Harry's dormitory and went to Ron instead of Harry?" Neil thought.
"It's probably too dark at night, I found the wrong bed—" At this point, Hermione's words came to an abrupt end.She understood what Neil meant. "You mean," Hermione lowered her voice, "it's not Harry that Black wants to find, but Scabbers?"
Neil nodded with a serious face.He thought about it for a long time two days ago, and finally decided to tell the two of his suspicions about Black.One is that if he told Harry, Hermione would definitely know, so there was no point in hiding it from Hermione; the other was that Black was Draco's cousin, and if he had the chance to prove his innocence, Draco would definitely will not obstruct.Besides, both Hermione and Draco were very tight-lipped, not of the reckless type, and Neil believed that they would not leak the news before the truth of the matter came to light.
"I have a reason for saying this." Neil told the two of his suspicions about Black. Of course, he didn't mention Bruno, nor did he mention that he suspected that Black had something to do with him. "... So, I think Black is not here to kill Harry, but to kill Scabbers."
After listening to Neil's words, Hermione thought for a while. "But, do you have any other evidence?" Although he thought that what Neil said had some truth, these were just his speculations after all. "Didn't Peter Pedilu be killed back then?" Hermione was most puzzled by this point.
"But his body was not found back then. The biggest thing found on him was only his toes." Neil said in a cold voice.
Hermione froze. "A toe is missing from Scabbers' foot—" At this moment, Hermione finally believed Neal's conjecture. "That means he's an unregistered Animagus—" Hermione murmured.
"I found some things." After thinking about it, Neil added a little bit of his own investigation these days, "Harry's father had three good friends back then. One was Professor Lupine, one was Black, and the other was Peter. Pedilu." Knowing that Professor Lupine is a good friend of Harry's father is also because Harry mentioned to himself that he would learn the protection spell from him.At that time, he was also very tempted and wanted to study, but was rejected by Severus.Severus thought that his current magic power had not fully recovered and could not support his learning of this spell.After listening to Severus' explanation, for the sake of long-term development, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up this idea. "I found out through some channels that the four of them each had a nickname back then." As he spoke, Neil winked secretly at Hermione. Draco sat on the other side with a dull expression, and didn't notice Neil little action. "Moonface, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs. I'm sure Black's nickname is Padfoot." After discovering Scabbers, Neil also thought about whether Scabbers was Black, but he immediately denied it. out of this guess.Scabbers had been at the Weasleys' house for more than a decade, and Black had only just escaped from Azkaban, so Scabbers couldn't be Black, only someone else.
After hearing Neil's words, Hermione immediately thought of the Marauder's Map.It turned out that the map was actually the masterpiece of Harry's father and the others... Thinking of this, Hermione felt a little complicated.
She straightened her hair. "I know, Professor Lupine probably has a moon face." Hermione's expression was a little uncomfortable at this point.
Neil nodded, and in this way, his guess was proved to be correct. "If this is the case, Peter Pedilu is probably Wormtail. Back then, they all became Animagus, and their nicknames should be based on the image of Animagus. And Scabbers is Pedi. Dilu. This is also in line with our guess. Moreover, if Pedilu is Wormtail, all of Black's unreasonable behaviors can also be explained. Pedilu did not die back then, and the real traitor was Pedilu. Instead of Black. Black didn't know why, but knowing that Pediru was not dead, he escaped from Azkaban, intending to kill the traitor and avenge Harry's parents. Back then, for some reason, he must have The secret keeper was replaced by Pedilu, which can also explain why he didn't resist when the Aurors arrested him. He thought he killed Harry's parents, and he wanted to make amends." Having said that, Neil stopped He stopped talking, and his expression was a little complicated.Does Black really have that kind of relationship with himself as he guessed?If so, how could he have entered Azkaban regardless of himself?Or not, most likely, I guessed wrong... Moreover, the relationship between his father and him is simply incompatible, how could it be... After investigating the previous information, Neil also discovered that Severus and the robber The foursome belonged to one class, and the relationship can be described as old enemies.
Draco, who had been silent by the side, suddenly turned pale. "The four of them are all Animagus? What about Professor Lupine?!" Having said that, Draco looked directly at Hermione sharply.Draco wasn't stupid, on the contrary, he was smart.Before, it was because he didn't care about Professor Lupine.But now, hearing Professor Lu Ping's nickname, thinking of the time when he asked for leave every time and what the dean taught as a substitute, he immediately understood what was going on. "How dare Dumbledore hire him as a professor!" Draco gritted his teeth.
"No, Draco. Professor Lupine is a good professor, he won't hurt others!" Seeing Draco's reaction, Hermione was secretly anxious.
"I don't know if he is a good professor, I just know that he doesn't even respect his colleagues, and openly insulted our dean in class!" Draco didn't like Professor Lupine at all, Slater The same goes for everyone else in Lin.Slytherin's flaws must be reported. For Professor Lupine's insult to the head of Slytherin, everyone in Slytherin kept an account in their hearts, and Draco was the leader among them.
"I know it's not appropriate for Professor Lupine to do that, but he just wanted to have a joke with Professor Snape." Hermione looked at Draco pleadingly, "You know, people in Gryffindor do things sometimes Not very brainy, like the Weasley twins, who often make inappropriate jokes to other people."
What's wrong?Neil looked at Hermione and Draco who were suddenly tense.He hasn't learned from werewolves yet, so he naturally doesn't know what's going on.It's just that Neil doesn't have the slightest liking for Professor Lupine.Although his class was good, he actually targeted his father in class, which made Neil secretly sulking for a long time.If it weren't for the fact that people are soft-spoken and powerless now, Neil will definitely find a way to make Professor Lupine complain endlessly.However, this matter has been secretly remembered by Neil. "What's the matter?" Neil looked at Draco with a tense face, and Hermione with a anxious expression, and couldn't help asking.
It was Draco who confuses Neil. "Professor Lupine, it's a werewolf!"
☆、Discussion ([-])
What? !Professor Lupine is actually a werewolf!Neal's eyes widened in surprise.Although I don't know what species the werewolf is, but hearing the name and seeing the reactions of Draco and Hermione, I know it's not a good thing.Why would Dumbledore hire such a dangerous creature? !
"Neil, help me persuade Draco." On the other end, Hermione saw that persuading Draco was ineffective, so she turned her begging eyes to Neil. "Professor Lupine is really a good teacher!"
Neil was silent for a moment, then asked, "What kind of creature is a werewolf?"
This time it was Draco who spoke, immersed in the news that his professor turned out to be a ferocious werewolf, Draco's face was frosty and his expression was cold. "The werewolf is a very ferocious creature. It is usually in the form of a human, but it will transform into a ferocious wolf on the night of the full moon. When it is in the form of a wolf, it will completely lose its mind. If a person is bitten by a wolf, It will also turn into a werewolf." The last point is what makes Draco feel the scariest.If Lupine went mad at school and tried to bite students, how could unsuspecting students be able to fight back?I tremble all over thinking about it.
After hearing Draco's explanation, Neil's face also turned green.Professor Lupine is such a dangerous creature? !
Seeing Neil's face, Hermione felt very bad.Bite the bullet, Hermione's mind was running fast, thinking about how to persuade the two people: "Neil, Draco, you see, Professor Lupine usually behaves so gentle, it is impossible for him to attack students And, Neil, Harry and Professor Lupine have such a good relationship, and Harry regards Professor Lupine as his elder, are you willing to let Professor Lupine leave, and make Harry sad because of it?" Listened Neil softened a little at these words, but Draco remained unmoved. "And," suddenly, Hermione thought, "and there was a time when Harry was in Professor Lupine's office and saw Professor Snape delivering a potion to Professor Lupine! At that time we had guessed the effect of that potion This shows that Professor Snape probably also knows that Professor Lupine is a werewolf! And the potion he sent is also very likely to suppress Professor Lupine's animal nature during the full moon! By the way! Wolfsbane potion! Professor Snape The one made for Professor Lupin must be Wolfsbane Potion!" Originally, Hermione was still stuttering, but after speaking, Hermione felt more and more that her guess was correct, and her speech speed became faster and faster. "Draco, you should know about Wolfsbane Potion. I have checked the information on Wolfsbane Potion. As long as a werewolf takes Wolfsbane Potion before the full moon, he will be able to maintain his sanity when the moon is full." Since knowing Professor Lupine After becoming a werewolf, Hermione did a lot of homework, and she decided to hide her discovery until she was sure that Professor Lupine should be safe.
After hearing Hermione's words, Neil and Draco looked at each other.They could ignore Dumbledore, they could ignore Harry, but they couldn't ignore Severus' position on this matter.After all, they hated Lupine largely because of Severus.If he doesn't care about it himself, they won't be able to do it for him.
"What you said is true? Did the dean really go to deliver potions to Professor Lupine?" Draco raised his eyebrows, his face had recovered a little, and was no longer as pale as before.
"Of course." Hermione quickly assured, "I can't make up such a lie, can I?"
Draco fell silent, thinking about the pros and cons of exposing Lupine as a werewolf.First of all, Professor Lupine's coming to the school must have been approved by Dumbledore.Moreover, Dumbledore, as the headmaster of the school, although Draco disliked him very much, he had to admit that Dumbledore must have taken measures in terms of safety.If he exposes this incident hastily, it will definitely make the relationship between his father and Dumbledore more rigid.Secondly, since the dean already knew about this matter, the reason to stand up for the dean is no longer valid.He didn't know what the dean was thinking, and if he stepped forward rashly, it might affect the dean's deployment.
Finally, Draco nodded reluctantly. "Okay, I promise you, keep this a secret for now." Having said that, Draco added threateningly, "However, if he does anything, I will expose him immediately!"
"Okay, definitely. If he really dares to do something to the students, I will definitely not tolerate him." Listening to Hermione's serious face.Hearing Draco's assurance, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head slightly, Hermione looked at Neil expectantly.
Neil nodded slightly.He hasn't figured out what happened to Black yet, and he doesn't want to startle the snake. "Now, now that we've reached an agreement, let's get back to business."
"But Banban has escaped now, and we don't know where Black is, what can we do now?" Thinking of this, Hermione frowned.
"Hermione, you can't tell Ron about this for the time being, but you have to find a way to tell Harry." Neil's voice was icy, "Scabbet is Ron's pet after all, I believe that Harry will also be involved in this matter." I won’t be so angry. Telling Harry is also to make them a little more alert. What if Scabbers comes back? As for Scabies, although we can’t find it at this stage, we can do some preparations. For example, if Scabbers comes back How can we catch it quietly." Speaking of this, Neil stopped.Neil felt a little irritable when he thought of Harry falling out with himself because of Black.
After listening to Neil's analysis, Hermione nodded in agreement. "I've found time to tell Harry about this these two days. As for how to catch Scabbers—"
"Draco and I can start this matter first. After you tell Harry, you can also join in." Neil glanced at Draco, Draco nodded, agreeing with Neil allocation.
"That's good." After the discussion, Hermione seemed to let go of a worry, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed. "Anyway, thank you, Neil, and Draco." Hermione sincerely expressed her gratitude to Draco.In the past, she never thought that one day, Draco would be willing to help them.This incident once again showed how wrong they were in their views of Draco in the past.
Draco nodded pretending not to care, but his ears were slightly red.
Neil, on the other hand, sighed softly. "I don't know if I'm meddling in my own business..." The words were filled with endless melancholy.
Hermione thought Neil said that because he was having a fight with Harry.With a good-natured smile, Hermione thoughtfully stopped touching Neil's sensitive nerves...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After Hermione left, Draco said awkwardly, "This is about the Gryffindor trio, why should I participate..."
Knowing Draco's arrogance, Neal didn't care. "You know, you know the most about the wizarding world. How to arrest Peter requires your wisdom." Neil wasn't talking nonsense.He has only been in the wizarding world for a year, and if he is required to do a lot of content, he may still be a bit powerless. Although Hermione is very good, but he is a Muggle after all, and she must not be as clear as Draco about some common sense things.Draco was also from a pure blood family anyway.Although it is true that Draco is not as good as Hermione in the course, but after so many years of immersion, his understanding of magic, to a certain extent, Draco is much better than him and Hermione.Some ideas, maybe he and Hermione didn't have that awareness at all, and Draco, easily, could think of them there.
After hearing Neil's words, Draco's face became much ruddy.Although he didn't speak, his expression showed that Neil's words completely spoke to his heart.
"Besides, Aunt Narcissa cares so much about Black. If Black can really be proved innocent, Aunt Narcissa will be very happy, won't she?" Seeing that Draco was a little moved, Neil continued to increase his efforts.
This reason really moved Draco.He knew how distressed his mother was about Black, even when Black had just escaped from prison, he saw his mother crying secretly because of it.He knew that his mother had a deep affection for the Black family.And the Blake family is lonely like this, which is what my mother doesn't want to see.If Blake could really be proved wronged and mother would be happy, then he had to participate anyway.
"Okay then, I'll just reluctantly join." Draco raised his head, his expression slightly arrogant.
Looking at Draco's expression, the corners of Neil's eyes twitched slightly.In fact, what he didn't say was that the most important thing he wanted Draco to join was because he hoped that Draco and Harry could further ease the relationship.He knew that although Draco was verbally pestered by Harry and agreed to be called by his Christian name, in fact, Draco still had a grudge against Harry.He didn't want his two good friends to remain in such an awkward state all the time, making himself caught in the middle.Now that the two of them have an opportunity to break the ice, Neil will naturally seize it firmly and try to find ways to ease the relationship between the two of them, so that the two of them are no longer what they used to be, and they can even become friends.Moreover, Harry was destined to deal with Voldemort. If he had the opportunity to draw the Malfoy family into his camp and break Voldemort's arm, there would be absolutely no harm for Harry.
Having been in Slytherin for so long, the Slytherins could clearly see their dislike of Dumbledore and their implicit admiration for Voldemort.He knew that the rumors that the Malfoys were Death Eaters were probably true.But after consulting Voldemort's life, Neil was extremely disgusted with Voldemort.He couldn't see the value of following Voldemort, a person who only knows how to destroy, create panic, and nothing else.If possible, he certainly hoped that the Malfoy family could break away from the Death Eaters, an organization that had no future at all.However, he is still too young now.His strength is also too weak.At this stage, the only thing he can do is to quietly change and influence Draco from the side...

It was another Hogsmeade day, and on this day, Neil received a note from Harry, and made an appointment to meet at the old place.Without much hesitation, Neil immediately decided to give up today's arrangement and rush to Harry's date.
Walking to the edge of the Black Lake, Harry had already prepared everything and sat there.Seeing Neil's approaching figure, Harry stood up from the ground.
With a straight face, Neil walked towards Harry without stopping.
"I'm sorry, Neil." As soon as Neil approached, Harry quickly grabbed Neil's hand with both hands.His expression was full of regret and guilt. "I'm sorry, Neil, I shouldn't have said that about you. Hermione told me all about it."
Freeing Harry's hand, Neil sat down.Ignoring Harry who was circling anxiously, Neil picked up a macaron and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Neil sit down, Harry dragged his cushion next to Neil and sat down next to him.Looking flatteringly at Neil, Harry said again: "I'm really sorry, Neil. It's just that I was really unhappy in those few days, and I was very irritable. That's why I can't listen to your words at all. It's just that when I heard you speaking for Black, I lost my temper. Later, Hermione also explained to me that I was wrong, and I shouldn't have misunderstood you."
Neil wasn't really mad at Harry either.He also understood that Harry must have been in a bad mood when he suddenly experienced such a big change some time ago.Only, it made him sad that he and Harry had been friends for so many years.In his opinion, Harry was the most trustworthy person, however, this incident clearly showed that Harry didn't think so.Otherwise, why did he tell Harry the same thing, but Harry didn't listen to it, but Hermione told Harry, but Harry listened to it?This is what makes his teeth cold the most.
After giving Harry a cool look, Neil said leisurely, "Why did you listen to Hermione's explanation again?" Although he asked Hermione to explain to Harry again, but he, Harry really listened to Hermione. Neil came to him later, and Neil felt extremely uncomfortable again.
"Of course not." Harry was extremely anxious, and his voice unconsciously amplified, "It's just because I had calmed down when Hermione came looking for me. At that time, I wanted to come to you, and just in time, Hermione told me It's just your opinion."
After hearing Harry's explanation, Neil's expression became less rigid. "I forgive you." Neil said with a straight face, "I also understand that it is normal for you to be confused and stop thinking when you first heard it." Having said this, Neil snorted, "Gryffindor There is already a string missing in my mind, and I don't need to worry about it with you."
Hearing that Neil had finally forgiven himself, Harry stroked his hair and smiled foolishly.He also didn't care about the cleansing of Gryffindor in Neil's words.In this category, he had heard so much from Professor Snape that he was already immune to it.
"By the way, why didn't you see Bruno today?" After speaking, Harry stood up and looked around. "What a pity." Harry sat down in disappointment when he didn't see Bruno.He likes the big black and thin dog very much. Originally, he specially prepared food for Bruno today.
"Harry." Hearing Harry's mumble, Neil's heart trembled.Although he couldn't bear it, Neil still said, "Actually, I suspect that Bruno is Black's Animagus."
"What?" Harry poked his ears exaggeratedly, suspecting that he had heard wrong.That thin, silly big dog? !How can it be?Although he didn't want to believe it, Harry knew that Neil wouldn't lie to him. "What's going on? Why didn't Hermione mention this?" With drooping eyebrows, Harry was downcast.
"Because I didn't tell them about Bruno." Neil explained lightly. "They haven't met Bruno, and I don't want them to panic for no reason." In fact, this is only one of the reasons.The other reason is that I can't say why, before the truth comes to light, subconsciously, Neil doesn't want Black to be hurt. "That's how I deduced that Blake's nickname came from Padfoot."
Hearing this, Harry took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket.Touching the Marauder's Map lovingly, Harry's eyes were full of nostalgia and pain. "I never thought that this map was left to me by my father." Having said this, Harry's voice choked up, "When I heard Hermione say this map, it is very likely that my father and the others I made it, and I was really happy in my heart. I found some traces of my father's existence in his childhood. I feel, as if I have to understand my father a little more. It turns out that my father is such a powerful person." Speaking of this, Harry's eyes turned slightly red, "When he was young, he might have loved to play tricks, otherwise, he wouldn't have known so many secret passages at Hogwarts."
Seeing Harry's sad look, Neil's expression was inexplicable.Slightly patted Harry's shoulder, Neil didn't say a word, and listened quietly to Harry's narration.
Wiping his eyes, Harry looked at Neil. "Now I know why you are so sure that Black is not a traitor. If he is really Bruno, unless he is not a traitor, he must have killed or arrested me long ago, and he will never show closeness to me. "Although Harry is a bit reckless and doesn't like to think about things, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.This kind of obvious thing, he can still see it. "But in the first place, how did you judge that Bruno is not a real dog, but an Animagus?"
"You took out the Marauder's Map that day, and Bruno suddenly ran away. At that moment, I noticed that he was very flustered." Neil explained in detail, "Later, when I learned the function of the Marauder's Map, I began to doubt Bruno isn't a real dog anymore."
"I see." Harry suddenly realized. "In this way, Black may really be wronged." At this moment, Harry had complicated thoughts.Originally, Harry hated Black so much after hearing what Fudge and the others said, but now, he learned that there was someone else who was the traitor back then, most likely, it was another good friend of his father who was killed by his father. A good friend kept Ban Ban as a pet for three years.At this moment, Harry only felt that he was caught in a series of mysteries, and his whole body was a little at a loss.
"Then what should we do now?" Harry subconsciously looked at Neil.
"Now Banner is missing, and Bruno has disappeared. At this stage, the only thing we can do is to wait until either Banban or Bruno reappears and catch them. Only then can we know whether the truth is as I guessed So now we have to figure out how to catch Scabbers or Bruno when they show up." Neil carefully explained his deployment to Harry.
After listening to Neil's words, Harry nodded in agreement. "What if," Harry licked his lips, "what if your guess is wrong?" When he said this, Harry lowered his head, not daring to look at Neil.It's not that he doesn't trust Neil, it's just that everything Neil said is just speculation.Harry didn't want even the slightest chance that Neil would be in danger.If Bruno is really Black, and he's a traitor, it will be very dangerous if they come across it when the time comes.
Neil was calmer than Harry expected.He knew what Harry was worried about. "I'm not sure that my guess is absolutely correct. However, if my guess is wrong, it can only mean that Scabbers and Bruno are real pets, so even if we catch them, there is still no danger .”
After hearing Neil's explanation, Harry was relieved.Neil pouted secretly.Regarding Harry's IQ, Neil has given up hope.Just leave the analysis to him.What he didn't say was that even if Banban was a traitor, if they really wanted to catch Banban, it would be very dangerous.It was just because Harry lived with Scabbers for three years that he unconsciously ignored the danger of Scabbers.
"Today is Hogsmeade Day. The last time we went to Hogsmeade, we didn't have a good time. Why don't we go again today." Putting aside his worries, Harry became active again, looking forward to watching Ni Well, Harry was all smiles, never seeing the haze before.
Nodding his head slightly, Neil laughed a little.Harry was like this, always so carefree, everything came and went quickly with him.Really worthy of what my father said, reckless Gryffindor...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Walking in front of the one-eyed witch statue, Harry took out the Marauder's Map from his bag.
"I solemnly declare that I will do no good!" Holding his wand and nodding at the Marauder's Map, Harry wanted to see if anyone was around.
"Oops!" Opening the map, the point marked with Professor Lupine was turning a corner, and he was about to walk into this corridor. Harry hurriedly tried to stuff the Marauder's Map into his pocket.
"Harry?" But it was too late.In a panic, he only had time to restore the Marauder's Map to its original state, and Remus had already turned the corner and strode up to Harry and Neil. "And little Mr. Snape." Remus nodded slightly at Neil, "What are you doing here?" Remus looked suspiciously at the two people in front of him, no wonder he suspected that there was something behind this statue What, he couldn't be more clear. "Harry, what you're holding is contraband?" With a glance, Remus sharply saw a piece of familiar parchment being grabbed by Harry's hand behind him. "Can you show me?" Although it was an interrogative sentence, there was a trace of unquestionable in Remus' tone.
With a grimace, Harry held out his hand.He knew that if Professor Lupine was really Moonface, he would not be able to hide the purpose of this parchment.
"Harry, can you give me this?" Remus asked gently, taking the parchment.
"But... But, it's just an ordinary piece of parchment..." Harry stammered, still wanting to argue.
"Harry, it's very dangerous outside now." Remus sighed earnestly, stopping Harry from opening his mouth. "I happen to know what this is. I know it's a map. Sorry, Harry, But I can't let you take it."
"Professor Lupine, how do you know?" Neil interrupted suddenly, dispelling Harry's intention to deny it.
Remus hesitated, "I know the person who made the map." Seeing Harry's puzzled expression, Remus spoke briefly. "Okay, go back quickly. This place is not where you should come." Saying this, Remus stopped in front of the one-eyed statue.Apparently, he wouldn't leave until after Harry and Neil had left.
Harry had no choice but to pull Neil away.
"I was careless..." It wasn't until they were far away that Harry had a bitter face and blamed himself.
"Don't be sad." Neil patted Harry's shoulder reassuringly. "At least, we know one thing."
"What is it?" Harry looked up in confusion.
"Professor Lupine is probably moon-faced. Our speculation has been further confirmed—"
☆, the end of the period
Potions Office.
"Did you feel anything about the magic in your body during this time?" After lunch, Severus had a very serious conversation with Neil.
"I feel that the power of casting spells has become more and more powerful recently." Looking at Severus standing in front of him, who was extremely oppressive, Neil replied honestly.His heart was 'thumping' and beating rapidly.Counting the time, Neil vaguely counted the content of the conversation with Severus.
"Yesterday, you drank the last bottle of magic power supplement." Hearing what Severus said, Neil held his breath nervously. "Now, I want to check your physical condition for you."
Neil's face was expressionless, but his eyes shone with a strange light.Standing up straight, Neil opened his eyes nervously.
There was a flash of light, and Severus withdrew his wand.There was a gratified smile on his face, and Severus' expression was distorted because he rarely smiled.Today, Severus's hair was very smooth, presumably he washed it for Neal's inspection. "Your magic circulatory system has fully returned to normal."
"Really?" Neil had a strange expression on his face, half crying and half laughing.Neil had been looking forward to this day for too long, too long.Finally, he waited until this day - his magic power system finally returned to normal.Take a deep breath, Neil Ting
"Why hasn't Hermione come?" Draco was a little impatient when he waited for a long time and didn't see Hermione.At this moment, Hermione walked into the library with messy hair and a thick stack of books in her hands.
Standing at the door of the library and looking around, Hermione finally found Neil and Draco sitting in the far corner.Walking straight over, Hermione was still panting, "Sorry, I'm late." Saying that, Hermione put the book on the table.
"It's okay." Neil pulled the seat away for Hermione. "Take a breath first."
Hermione sat on the chair without any image, and it took several minutes before Hermione calmed down. "Sorry, I just finished class."
Neil shook his head, saying it was okay.Seeing Hermione's sloppy look, Draco gave a light bark, but didn't make a sound.
Hermione sat up again, leaning forward slightly. "Did you know? Black actually broke into Harry's dormitory yesterday!" Speaking of which, Hermione had a lingering fear on her face.
"What?" Neilton's expression changed immediately, "Is there something wrong with Harry?!" He only knew that Black broke into the Gryffindor tower, but he didn't know that Black actually broke into Harry's dormitory!
"Fortunately, it's okay." Hermione shook her head. "I don't know if Black ran away for too long and became confused, or what happened. Instead of finding Harry, he touched Ron's bedside instead. According to Ron, Black took A knife cut through the curtains of his bed and woke him up. Luckily he was screaming so loud that Blake was scared away."
"You mean, Black broke into Harry's dormitory and went to Ron instead of Harry?" Neil thought.
"It's probably too dark at night, I found the wrong bed—" At this point, Hermione's words came to an abrupt end.She understood what Neil meant. "You mean," Hermione lowered her voice, "it's not Harry that Black wants to find, but Scabbers?"
Neil nodded with a serious face.He thought about it for a long time two days ago, and finally decided to tell the two of his suspicions about Black.One is that if he told Harry, Hermione would definitely know, so there was no point in hiding it from Hermione; the other was that Black was Draco's cousin, and if he had the chance to prove his innocence, Draco would definitely will not obstruct.Besides, both Hermione and Draco were very tight-lipped, not of the reckless type, and Neil believed that they would not leak the news before the truth of the matter came to light.
"I have a reason for saying this." Neil told the two of his suspicions about Black. Of course, he didn't mention Bruno, nor did he mention that he suspected that Black had something to do with him. "... So, I think Black is not here to kill Harry, but to kill Scabbers."
After listening to Neil's words, Hermione thought for a while. "But, do you have any other evidence?" Although he thought that what Neil said had some truth, these were just his speculations after all. "Didn't Peter Pedilu be killed back then?" Hermione was most puzzled by this point.
"But his body was not found back then. The biggest thing found on him was only his toes." Neil said in a cold voice.
Hermione froze. "A toe is missing from Scabbers' foot—" At this moment, Hermione finally believed Neal's conjecture. "That means he's an unregistered Animagus—" Hermione murmured.
"I found some things." After thinking about it, Neil added a little bit of his own investigation these days, "Harry's father had three good friends back then. One was Professor Lupine, one was Black, and the other was Peter. Pedilu." Knowing that Professor Lupine is a good friend of Harry's father is also because Harry mentioned to himself that he would learn the protection spell from him.At that time, he was also very tempted and wanted to study, but was rejected by Severus.Severus thought that his current magic power had not fully recovered and could not support his learning of this spell.After listening to Severus' explanation, for the sake of long-term development, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up this idea. "I found out through some channels that the four of them each had a nickname back then." As he spoke, Neil winked secretly at Hermione. Draco sat on the other side with a dull expression, and didn't notice Neil little action. "Moonface, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs. I'm sure Black's nickname is Padfoot." After discovering Scabbers, Neil also thought about whether Scabbers was Black, but he immediately denied it. out of this guess.Scabbers had been at the Weasleys' house for more than a decade, and Black had only just escaped from Azkaban, so Scabbers couldn't be Black, only someone else.
After hearing Neil's words, Hermione immediately thought of the Marauder's Map.It turned out that the map was actually the masterpiece of Harry's father and the others... Thinking of this, Hermione felt a little complicated.
She straightened her hair. "I know, Professor Lupine probably has a moon face." Hermione's expression was a little uncomfortable at this point.
Neil nodded, and in this way, his guess was proved to be correct. "If this is the case, Peter Pedilu is probably Wormtail. Back then, they all became Animagus, and their nicknames should be based on the image of Animagus. And Scabbers is Pedi. Dilu. This is also in line with our guess. Moreover, if Pedilu is Wormtail, all of Black's unreasonable behaviors can also be explained. Pedilu did not die back then, and the real traitor was Pedilu. Instead of Black. Black didn't know why, but knowing that Pediru was not dead, he escaped from Azkaban, intending to kill the traitor and avenge Harry's parents. Back then, for some reason, he must have The secret keeper was replaced by Pedilu, which can also explain why he didn't resist when the Aurors arrested him. He thought he killed Harry's parents, and he wanted to make amends." Having said that, Neil stopped He stopped talking, and his expression was a little complicated.Does Black really have that kind of relationship with himself as he guessed?If so, how could he have entered Azkaban regardless of himself?Or not, most likely, I guessed wrong... Moreover, the relationship between his father and him is simply incompatible, how could it be... After investigating the previous information, Neil also discovered that Severus and the robber The foursome belonged to one class, and the relationship can be described as old enemies.
Draco, who had been silent by the side, suddenly turned pale. "The four of them are all Animagus? What about Professor Lupine?!" Having said that, Draco looked directly at Hermione sharply.Draco wasn't stupid, on the contrary, he was smart.Before, it was because he didn't care about Professor Lupine.But now, hearing Professor Lu Ping's nickname, thinking of the time when he asked for leave every time and what the dean taught as a substitute, he immediately understood what was going on. "How dare Dumbledore hire him as a professor!" Draco gritted his teeth.
"No, Draco. Professor Lupine is a good professor, he won't hurt others!" Seeing Draco's reaction, Hermione was secretly anxious.
"I don't know if he is a good professor, I just know that he doesn't even respect his colleagues, and openly insulted our dean in class!" Draco didn't like Professor Lupine at all, Slater The same goes for everyone else in Lin.Slytherin's flaws must be reported. For Professor Lupine's insult to the head of Slytherin, everyone in Slytherin kept an account in their hearts, and Draco was the leader among them.
"I know it's not appropriate for Professor Lupine to do that, but he just wanted to have a joke with Professor Snape." Hermione looked at Draco pleadingly, "You know, people in Gryffindor do things sometimes Not very brainy, like the Weasley twins, who often make inappropriate jokes to other people."
What's wrong?Neil looked at Hermione and Draco who were suddenly tense.He hasn't learned from werewolves yet, so he naturally doesn't know what's going on.It's just that Neil doesn't have the slightest liking for Professor Lupine.Although his class was good, he actually targeted his father in class, which made Neil secretly sulking for a long time.If it weren't for the fact that people are soft-spoken and powerless now, Neil will definitely find a way to make Professor Lupine complain endlessly.However, this matter has been secretly remembered by Neil. "What's the matter?" Neil looked at Draco with a tense face, and Hermione with a anxious expression, and couldn't help asking.
It was Draco who confuses Neil. "Professor Lupine, it's a werewolf!"
☆、Discussion ([-])
What? !Professor Lupine is actually a werewolf!Neal's eyes widened in surprise.Although I don't know what species the werewolf is, but hearing the name and seeing the reactions of Draco and Hermione, I know it's not a good thing.Why would Dumbledore hire such a dangerous creature? !
"Neil, help me persuade Draco." On the other end, Hermione saw that persuading Draco was ineffective, so she turned her begging eyes to Neil. "Professor Lupine is really a good teacher!"
Neil was silent for a moment, then asked, "What kind of creature is a werewolf?"
This time it was Draco who spoke, immersed in the news that his professor turned out to be a ferocious werewolf, Draco's face was frosty and his expression was cold. "The werewolf is a very ferocious creature. It is usually in the form of a human, but it will transform into a ferocious wolf on the night of the full moon. When it is in the form of a wolf, it will completely lose its mind. If a person is bitten by a wolf, It will also turn into a werewolf." The last point is what makes Draco feel the scariest.If Lupine went mad at school and tried to bite students, how could unsuspecting students be able to fight back?I tremble all over thinking about it.
After hearing Draco's explanation, Neil's face also turned green.Professor Lupine is such a dangerous creature? !
Seeing Neil's face, Hermione felt very bad.Bite the bullet, Hermione's mind was running fast, thinking about how to persuade the two people: "Neil, Draco, you see, Professor Lupine usually behaves so gentle, it is impossible for him to attack students And, Neil, Harry and Professor Lupine have such a good relationship, and Harry regards Professor Lupine as his elder, are you willing to let Professor Lupine leave, and make Harry sad because of it?" Listened Neil softened a little at these words, but Draco remained unmoved. "And," suddenly, Hermione thought, "and there was a time when Harry was in Professor Lupine's office and saw Professor Snape delivering a potion to Professor Lupine! At that time we had guessed the effect of that potion This shows that Professor Snape probably also knows that Professor Lupine is a werewolf! And the potion he sent is also very likely to suppress Professor Lupine's animal nature during the full moon! By the way! Wolfsbane potion! Professor Snape The one made for Professor Lupin must be Wolfsbane Potion!" Originally, Hermione was still stuttering, but after speaking, Hermione felt more and more that her guess was correct, and her speech speed became faster and faster. "Draco, you should know about Wolfsbane Potion. I have checked the information on Wolfsbane Potion. As long as a werewolf takes Wolfsbane Potion before the full moon, he will be able to maintain his sanity when the moon is full." Since knowing Professor Lupine After becoming a werewolf, Hermione did a lot of homework, and she decided to hide her discovery until she was sure that Professor Lupine should be safe.
After hearing Hermione's words, Neil and Draco looked at each other.They could ignore Dumbledore, they could ignore Harry, but they couldn't ignore Severus' position on this matter.After all, they hated Lupine largely because of Severus.If he doesn't care about it himself, they won't be able to do it for him.
"What you said is true? Did the dean really go to deliver potions to Professor Lupine?" Draco raised his eyebrows, his face had recovered a little, and was no longer as pale as before.
"Of course." Hermione quickly assured, "I can't make up such a lie, can I?"
Draco fell silent, thinking about the pros and cons of exposing Lupine as a werewolf.First of all, Professor Lupine's coming to the school must have been approved by Dumbledore.Moreover, Dumbledore, as the headmaster of the school, although Draco disliked him very much, he had to admit that Dumbledore must have taken measures in terms of safety.If he exposes this incident hastily, it will definitely make the relationship between his father and Dumbledore more rigid.Secondly, since the dean already knew about this matter, the reason to stand up for the dean is no longer valid.He didn't know what the dean was thinking, and if he stepped forward rashly, it might affect the dean's deployment.
Finally, Draco nodded reluctantly. "Okay, I promise you, keep this a secret for now." Having said that, Draco added threateningly, "However, if he does anything, I will expose him immediately!"
"Okay, definitely. If he really dares to do something to the students, I will definitely not tolerate him." Listening to Hermione's serious face.Hearing Draco's assurance, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head slightly, Hermione looked at Neil expectantly.
Neil nodded slightly.He hasn't figured out what happened to Black yet, and he doesn't want to startle the snake. "Now, now that we've reached an agreement, let's get back to business."
"But Banban has escaped now, and we don't know where Black is, what can we do now?" Thinking of this, Hermione frowned.
"Hermione, you can't tell Ron about this for the time being, but you have to find a way to tell Harry." Neil's voice was icy, "Scabbet is Ron's pet after all, I believe that Harry will also be involved in this matter." I won’t be so angry. Telling Harry is also to make them a little more alert. What if Scabbers comes back? As for Scabies, although we can’t find it at this stage, we can do some preparations. For example, if Scabbers comes back How can we catch it quietly." Speaking of this, Neil stopped.Neil felt a little irritable when he thought of Harry falling out with himself because of Black.
After listening to Neil's analysis, Hermione nodded in agreement. "I've found time to tell Harry about this these two days. As for how to catch Scabbers—"
"Draco and I can start this matter first. After you tell Harry, you can also join in." Neil glanced at Draco, Draco nodded, agreeing with Neil allocation.
"That's good." After the discussion, Hermione seemed to let go of a worry, and the expression on her face was much more relaxed. "Anyway, thank you, Neil, and Draco." Hermione sincerely expressed her gratitude to Draco.In the past, she never thought that one day, Draco would be willing to help them.This incident once again showed how wrong they were in their views of Draco in the past.
Draco nodded pretending not to care, but his ears were slightly red.
Neil, on the other hand, sighed softly. "I don't know if I'm meddling in my own business..." The words were filled with endless melancholy.
Hermione thought Neil said that because he was having a fight with Harry.With a good-natured smile, Hermione thoughtfully stopped touching Neil's sensitive nerves...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After Hermione left, Draco said awkwardly, "This is about the Gryffindor trio, why should I participate..."
Knowing Draco's arrogance, Neal didn't care. "You know, you know the most about the wizarding world. How to arrest Peter requires your wisdom." Neil wasn't talking nonsense.He has only been in the wizarding world for a year, and if he is required to do a lot of content, he may still be a bit powerless. Although Hermione is very good, but he is a Muggle after all, and she must not be as clear as Draco about some common sense things.Draco was also from a pure blood family anyway.Although it is true that Draco is not as good as Hermione in the course, but after so many years of immersion, his understanding of magic, to a certain extent, Draco is much better than him and Hermione.Some ideas, maybe he and Hermione didn't have that awareness at all, and Draco, easily, could think of them there.
After hearing Neil's words, Draco's face became much ruddy.Although he didn't speak, his expression showed that Neil's words completely spoke to his heart.
"Besides, Aunt Narcissa cares so much about Black. If Black can really be proved innocent, Aunt Narcissa will be very happy, won't she?" Seeing that Draco was a little moved, Neil continued to increase his efforts.
This reason really moved Draco.He knew how distressed his mother was about Black, even when Black had just escaped from prison, he saw his mother crying secretly because of it.He knew that his mother had a deep affection for the Black family.And the Blake family is lonely like this, which is what my mother doesn't want to see.If Blake could really be proved wronged and mother would be happy, then he had to participate anyway.
"Okay then, I'll just reluctantly join." Draco raised his head, his expression slightly arrogant.
Looking at Draco's expression, the corners of Neil's eyes twitched slightly.In fact, what he didn't say was that the most important thing he wanted Draco to join was because he hoped that Draco and Harry could further ease the relationship.He knew that although Draco was verbally pestered by Harry and agreed to be called by his Christian name, in fact, Draco still had a grudge against Harry.He didn't want his two good friends to remain in such an awkward state all the time, making himself caught in the middle.Now that the two of them have an opportunity to break the ice, Neil will naturally seize it firmly and try to find ways to ease the relationship between the two of them, so that the two of them are no longer what they used to be, and they can even become friends.Moreover, Harry was destined to deal with Voldemort. If he had the opportunity to draw the Malfoy family into his camp and break Voldemort's arm, there would be absolutely no harm for Harry.
Having been in Slytherin for so long, the Slytherins could clearly see their dislike of Dumbledore and their implicit admiration for Voldemort.He knew that the rumors that the Malfoys were Death Eaters were probably true.But after consulting Voldemort's life, Neil was extremely disgusted with Voldemort.He couldn't see the value of following Voldemort, a person who only knows how to destroy, create panic, and nothing else.If possible, he certainly hoped that the Malfoy family could break away from the Death Eaters, an organization that had no future at all.However, he is still too young now.His strength is also too weak.At this stage, the only thing he can do is to quietly change and influence Draco from the side...
☆, confiscated
It was another Hogsmeade day, and on this day, Neil received a note from Harry, and made an appointment to meet at the old place.Without much hesitation, Neil immediately decided to give up today's arrangement and rush to Harry's date.
Walking to the edge of the Black Lake, Harry had already prepared everything and sat there.Seeing Neil's approaching figure, Harry stood up from the ground.
With a straight face, Neil walked towards Harry without stopping.
"I'm sorry, Neil." As soon as Neil approached, Harry quickly grabbed Neil's hand with both hands.His expression was full of regret and guilt. "I'm sorry, Neil, I shouldn't have said that about you. Hermione told me all about it."
Freeing Harry's hand, Neil sat down.Ignoring Harry who was circling anxiously, Neil picked up a macaron and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Neil sit down, Harry dragged his cushion next to Neil and sat down next to him.Looking flatteringly at Neil, Harry said again: "I'm really sorry, Neil. It's just that I was really unhappy in those few days, and I was very irritable. That's why I can't listen to your words at all. It's just that when I heard you speaking for Black, I lost my temper. Later, Hermione also explained to me that I was wrong, and I shouldn't have misunderstood you."
Neil wasn't really mad at Harry either.He also understood that Harry must have been in a bad mood when he suddenly experienced such a big change some time ago.Only, it made him sad that he and Harry had been friends for so many years.In his opinion, Harry was the most trustworthy person, however, this incident clearly showed that Harry didn't think so.Otherwise, why did he tell Harry the same thing, but Harry didn't listen to it, but Hermione told Harry, but Harry listened to it?This is what makes his teeth cold the most.
After giving Harry a cool look, Neil said leisurely, "Why did you listen to Hermione's explanation again?" Although he asked Hermione to explain to Harry again, but he, Harry really listened to Hermione. Neil came to him later, and Neil felt extremely uncomfortable again.
"Of course not." Harry was extremely anxious, and his voice unconsciously amplified, "It's just because I had calmed down when Hermione came looking for me. At that time, I wanted to come to you, and just in time, Hermione told me It's just your opinion."
After hearing Harry's explanation, Neil's expression became less rigid. "I forgive you." Neil said with a straight face, "I also understand that it is normal for you to be confused and stop thinking when you first heard it." Having said this, Neil snorted, "Gryffindor There is already a string missing in my mind, and I don't need to worry about it with you."
Hearing that Neil had finally forgiven himself, Harry stroked his hair and smiled foolishly.He also didn't care about the cleansing of Gryffindor in Neil's words.In this category, he had heard so much from Professor Snape that he was already immune to it.
"By the way, why didn't you see Bruno today?" After speaking, Harry stood up and looked around. "What a pity." Harry sat down in disappointment when he didn't see Bruno.He likes the big black and thin dog very much. Originally, he specially prepared food for Bruno today.
"Harry." Hearing Harry's mumble, Neil's heart trembled.Although he couldn't bear it, Neil still said, "Actually, I suspect that Bruno is Black's Animagus."
"What?" Harry poked his ears exaggeratedly, suspecting that he had heard wrong.That thin, silly big dog? !How can it be?Although he didn't want to believe it, Harry knew that Neil wouldn't lie to him. "What's going on? Why didn't Hermione mention this?" With drooping eyebrows, Harry was downcast.
"Because I didn't tell them about Bruno." Neil explained lightly. "They haven't met Bruno, and I don't want them to panic for no reason." In fact, this is only one of the reasons.The other reason is that I can't say why, before the truth comes to light, subconsciously, Neil doesn't want Black to be hurt. "That's how I deduced that Blake's nickname came from Padfoot."
Hearing this, Harry took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket.Touching the Marauder's Map lovingly, Harry's eyes were full of nostalgia and pain. "I never thought that this map was left to me by my father." Having said this, Harry's voice choked up, "When I heard Hermione say this map, it is very likely that my father and the others I made it, and I was really happy in my heart. I found some traces of my father's existence in his childhood. I feel, as if I have to understand my father a little more. It turns out that my father is such a powerful person." Speaking of this, Harry's eyes turned slightly red, "When he was young, he might have loved to play tricks, otherwise, he wouldn't have known so many secret passages at Hogwarts."
Seeing Harry's sad look, Neil's expression was inexplicable.Slightly patted Harry's shoulder, Neil didn't say a word, and listened quietly to Harry's narration.
Wiping his eyes, Harry looked at Neil. "Now I know why you are so sure that Black is not a traitor. If he is really Bruno, unless he is not a traitor, he must have killed or arrested me long ago, and he will never show closeness to me. "Although Harry is a bit reckless and doesn't like to think about things, it doesn't mean that he is stupid.This kind of obvious thing, he can still see it. "But in the first place, how did you judge that Bruno is not a real dog, but an Animagus?"
"You took out the Marauder's Map that day, and Bruno suddenly ran away. At that moment, I noticed that he was very flustered." Neil explained in detail, "Later, when I learned the function of the Marauder's Map, I began to doubt Bruno isn't a real dog anymore."
"I see." Harry suddenly realized. "In this way, Black may really be wronged." At this moment, Harry had complicated thoughts.Originally, Harry hated Black so much after hearing what Fudge and the others said, but now, he learned that there was someone else who was the traitor back then, most likely, it was another good friend of his father who was killed by his father. A good friend kept Ban Ban as a pet for three years.At this moment, Harry only felt that he was caught in a series of mysteries, and his whole body was a little at a loss.
"Then what should we do now?" Harry subconsciously looked at Neil.
"Now Banner is missing, and Bruno has disappeared. At this stage, the only thing we can do is to wait until either Banban or Bruno reappears and catch them. Only then can we know whether the truth is as I guessed So now we have to figure out how to catch Scabbers or Bruno when they show up." Neil carefully explained his deployment to Harry.
After listening to Neil's words, Harry nodded in agreement. "What if," Harry licked his lips, "what if your guess is wrong?" When he said this, Harry lowered his head, not daring to look at Neil.It's not that he doesn't trust Neil, it's just that everything Neil said is just speculation.Harry didn't want even the slightest chance that Neil would be in danger.If Bruno is really Black, and he's a traitor, it will be very dangerous if they come across it when the time comes.
Neil was calmer than Harry expected.He knew what Harry was worried about. "I'm not sure that my guess is absolutely correct. However, if my guess is wrong, it can only mean that Scabbers and Bruno are real pets, so even if we catch them, there is still no danger .”
After hearing Neil's explanation, Harry was relieved.Neil pouted secretly.Regarding Harry's IQ, Neil has given up hope.Just leave the analysis to him.What he didn't say was that even if Banban was a traitor, if they really wanted to catch Banban, it would be very dangerous.It was just because Harry lived with Scabbers for three years that he unconsciously ignored the danger of Scabbers.
"Today is Hogsmeade Day. The last time we went to Hogsmeade, we didn't have a good time. Why don't we go again today." Putting aside his worries, Harry became active again, looking forward to watching Ni Well, Harry was all smiles, never seeing the haze before.
Nodding his head slightly, Neil laughed a little.Harry was like this, always so carefree, everything came and went quickly with him.Really worthy of what my father said, reckless Gryffindor...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Walking in front of the one-eyed witch statue, Harry took out the Marauder's Map from his bag.
"I solemnly declare that I will do no good!" Holding his wand and nodding at the Marauder's Map, Harry wanted to see if anyone was around.
"Oops!" Opening the map, the point marked with Professor Lupine was turning a corner, and he was about to walk into this corridor. Harry hurriedly tried to stuff the Marauder's Map into his pocket.
"Harry?" But it was too late.In a panic, he only had time to restore the Marauder's Map to its original state, and Remus had already turned the corner and strode up to Harry and Neil. "And little Mr. Snape." Remus nodded slightly at Neil, "What are you doing here?" Remus looked suspiciously at the two people in front of him, no wonder he suspected that there was something behind this statue What, he couldn't be more clear. "Harry, what you're holding is contraband?" With a glance, Remus sharply saw a piece of familiar parchment being grabbed by Harry's hand behind him. "Can you show me?" Although it was an interrogative sentence, there was a trace of unquestionable in Remus' tone.
With a grimace, Harry held out his hand.He knew that if Professor Lupine was really Moonface, he would not be able to hide the purpose of this parchment.
"Harry, can you give me this?" Remus asked gently, taking the parchment.
"But... But, it's just an ordinary piece of parchment..." Harry stammered, still wanting to argue.
"Harry, it's very dangerous outside now." Remus sighed earnestly, stopping Harry from opening his mouth. "I happen to know what this is. I know it's a map. Sorry, Harry, But I can't let you take it."
"Professor Lupine, how do you know?" Neil interrupted suddenly, dispelling Harry's intention to deny it.
Remus hesitated, "I know the person who made the map." Seeing Harry's puzzled expression, Remus spoke briefly. "Okay, go back quickly. This place is not where you should come." Saying this, Remus stopped in front of the one-eyed statue.Apparently, he wouldn't leave until after Harry and Neil had left.
Harry had no choice but to pull Neil away.
"I was careless..." It wasn't until they were far away that Harry had a bitter face and blamed himself.
"Don't be sad." Neil patted Harry's shoulder reassuringly. "At least, we know one thing."
"What is it?" Harry looked up in confusion.
"Professor Lupine is probably moon-faced. Our speculation has been further confirmed—"
☆, the end of the period
Potions Office.
"Did you feel anything about the magic in your body during this time?" After lunch, Severus had a very serious conversation with Neil.
"I feel that the power of casting spells has become more and more powerful recently." Looking at Severus standing in front of him, who was extremely oppressive, Neil replied honestly.His heart was 'thumping' and beating rapidly.Counting the time, Neil vaguely counted the content of the conversation with Severus.
"Yesterday, you drank the last bottle of magic power supplement." Hearing what Severus said, Neil held his breath nervously. "Now, I want to check your physical condition for you."
Neil's face was expressionless, but his eyes shone with a strange light.Standing up straight, Neil opened his eyes nervously.
There was a flash of light, and Severus withdrew his wand.There was a gratified smile on his face, and Severus' expression was distorted because he rarely smiled.Today, Severus's hair was very smooth, presumably he washed it for Neal's inspection. "Your magic circulatory system has fully returned to normal."
"Really?" Neil had a strange expression on his face, half crying and half laughing.Neil had been looking forward to this day for too long, too long.Finally, he waited until this day - his magic power system finally returned to normal.Take a deep breath, Neil Ting
