[HP] Blast! Word Small Universe

"Okay, I will definitely find a place with a fireplace in advance next time." Harry said sullenly.

Jane sighed, and reached out to pat Harry on the shoulder: "Don't be so depressed, there's nothing wrong with not being able to go to Hogsmeade, at least no one here wants to kill you, and there is no Black."

"Oh yes, I'm really thankful for that," said Harry.

Just as they climbed up a flight of stairs and were about to go to another corridor, Jane suddenly heard someone calling their names: "Harry? Jane?"

Harry and Jane turned their heads at the same time, and they saw Professor Lupine leaning half out of his office.

"What are you doing?" Lupine asked them. "Where are Ron and Hermione?"

"Hogsmeade," said Harry, trying to be as casual as possible, without the gloominess he had when he spoke to Jane just now.

"Ah." Lupine seemed to remember something, and then he turned sideways so they could walk into his office: "Why don't you come in? I just received Grindylow for our next class."

"What?" asked Harry, following Lupine into the office.Jane followed in Harry's footsteps, and Lupine closed the door behind them.

As soon as Jane walked into the office, she saw a large water tank in the corner of the office.Inside the tank was a sickly green thing with a spiky horn, its face pressed against the glass.It grimaced at them and stretched its slender claws.

"It's a water monster. I don't think we'll have much difficulty dealing with it, after all, we've had Kabbah before. Have you noticed the unusually long claws? Strong, but fragile." Lupine said, and then He shifted his extension from Grindylow's case, looked at Harry and Jane: "Do you need a cup of tea? I was thinking about making a cup just now."

"Thank you." Jane took the tea that Lupine made for them, and she sat quietly in an old armchair, apparently not ready to speak.Because she didn't have much of a good impression of Lupine, perhaps this was mainly due to the fact that he induced Neville to transform into a weird Snape in the first class.Although she admitted that Lupine was a nice guy and that he had a good class, she felt that it would be difficult to correct her first impression, especially now that she still liked Snape.So in the ensuing conversation between Lupine and Harry, Jane didn't say a word.She seemed to be holding the hot teacup very contentedly, thinking that in the absence of a fireplace, it would be nice to have such a cup of hot water to warm her hands.

"Um... yes. Professor Lupine, you know that dementor-" When Harry and Lupine talked about the problem that Lupine didn't give Harry to try to face the Boggart in the first class, someone said There was a knock on the door, and Harry was interrupted.

"Come in," said Lupine loudly.

The door opened and Snape walked in.He was holding a goblet in his hand, which was steaming slightly, and when he saw Harry and Jane were there, he stopped and his black eyes narrowed.Jane felt that the look in Snape's eyes on her made her want to straighten her back, and the scrutiny and sharp eyes made her a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, Severus, thanks. Will you put it on the desk?" Lupine said with a smile.

Snape put down the steaming mug, and his eyes shifted from Jane to Harry and Lupine moving back and forth.Jane was relieved by this, although she didn't understand why Snape stared at her so sharply when he first saw her, but she had to say that when Snape looked at her like that, she Can't help but want to be on guard.This may be because her Potions teacher sometimes gives her an extremely dangerous feeling, as if he will draw his wand at any moment to fight.Especially when there were other people around, Snape always looked more mean and cold than when he was alone.

"I'm showing Harry and Jane my Grindylow." Lupine said happily, pointing to the water tank, as if he didn't notice Snape's scrutiny.

"Fascinating," Snape replied, without looking there.His eyes were fixed on Lupine and the glass he brought. "You should just drink it, Lupine."

"Yes, yes, I will," said Lupine.

"I've made a potfull if you want more," Snape said.

Jane suddenly remembered that there was a time when Snape often boiled potions in the cellar, although the potions in the cup looked completely different from the potions she had seen in the cauldron at that time, but Jane had a faint feeling I guessed that the potion that Snape brewed at that time should be the cup that Lupine held in his hand.

She had asked Snape what the potion in the cauldron was for, but Snape hadn't told her—

Jane's eyes slid back and forth between Lupine and the cup in his hand, and felt that the relationship between Lupine and Snape was even more intriguing: at first she thought that Snape should hate Lupine, because the school started That look at the banquet can prove everything.Later, she guessed that Lupine probably didn't like Snape either, because out of politeness and protection for friends, she didn't think Lupine would lead Neville to imagine Snape as his grandmother.But now, one of the two people who were supposed to hate each other actually boiled the potion for the other. The important thing is that the brewing process of that potion seemed to be very complicated, and it lasted for nearly half a month or longer .

Just as Jane kept speculating about the relationship between Lupine and Snape, Lupine said, "I'll probably have another drink tomorrow. Thanks, Severus."

"You're welcome," Snape said, and then to Harry and Jane, "If you're okay, you'd better go back to your lounge and don't run around,"

"Oh, don't worry, Severus, I think they'll be back in a moment," Lupine said lightly.

Snape didn't say anything else, he turned and left the room with a look on his face that looked defensive, not at all relaxed.

Harry looked at the goblet curiously. Lupine glanced at Harry and said with a smile, "Professor Snape kindly concocted a potion for me. I've never been very good at concocting potions, and this one It's very complicated." He picked up the goblet and smelled it. "It's a pity that you can't put sugar." After finishing speaking, he drank it in big gulps, and then trembled again.

"Why—" Harry opened his mouth to ask, and this question was also what Jane wanted to ask, but in the current situation, it may be more beneficial for Harry to ask than her. She could see that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Seems to like Harry very much.She bet that if she hadn't been walking with Harry today, Lupine would never have invited her into his office.

"I've always felt bad. Only this medicine can help." Lupine looked at Harry and answered the unfinished question: "I'm very lucky to be able to work with Professor Snape. Being able to concoct this There aren't many wizards who make potions."

Harry opened his mouth to say something, but he turned his head and glanced at Jane, then closed his mouth again.

"It's awful." Lupine finished his glass of potion, and said to them, "There, you two. I'd better get back to work. I'll see you at the dinner party."

"Okay." Harry stood up from his chair, his eyes fixed on Lupin's goblet.
