[HP] Alchemy and Love

"Do you think it will be successful?" Lorenthia stood at the door of St. Mungo's ward, holding Remus's hand tightly.They have been studying this spell and the combined treatment plan for half a year. Just by analyzing the magic flow of the locket at that time, Lorencia has written down [-] possible situations and ruled them out one by one. She signed a non-disclosure agreement when she was doing the project, and she was able to publish three papers.But despite all her preparations, she was terribly nervous when the spell was actually to be cast on James and Lily.

"Sure," Remus said, but his fingers were cold, too.Because Sirius had been walking around anxiously and couldn't stop at all, he had been driven to the outside corridor at this time, and a group of healers, Dumbledore, and Severus Severus stood beside them. Nepe.For the rare occasion, Snape didn't show his face to either her or Remus, but just stared at Lily intently.

"Get ready." The leader, Mr. Maloof, and the healers around him pulled out their wands and pointed at James, "Three, two, one—"

His wand glowed blue, hitting James' body, and then a white spell and a dark blue spell hit James with almost no pause, but in a definite order. m.The two healers guarding the bed quickly raised James' head and poured him a bottle of potion.

Lorencia participated in the invention of the first three spells, which were used to enhance vitality, guide the magic circulation in the body, and finally guide and break the internal circulation, so that magic and vital signs returned to normal levels.But she was not so familiar with the later healing spells, and coupled with the fast speed of the therapist and the confusion of her own concerns, she couldn't see clearly.In fact, even if she could see clearly, there was nothing she could do.Fortunately, Mr. Maloof let out a long sigh of relief and announced: "The vital signs have successfully turned into a deep sleep state!"

The people around cheered softly, and Lorencia breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, although the sequelae after waking up are still unpredictable, it is considered half of the success after all.Someone asked: "So Lily Potter...?"

"Wait for James to wake up first, and observe the situation." Mr. Maloof made a relatively conservative decision.No one objected at the scene. After all, they had waited for more than half a year before, and now James woke up and only had to wait two more weeks. Everyone could afford to wait.

However, plans don't always change quickly, and theories often don't stand the test of practice—everyone's previous speculation shows that after successfully entering a deep sleep state, it will take about two weeks for James to recover before he can wake up from sleep. However, I don't know if it was because the spells of the excited healers were so effective that James opened his eyes in just six days.Since no one expected him to wake up so early, and the ward was empty at that time, he actually got out of bed by himself, leaned on the wall and went out, and was not found until he was in the corridor—the poor trainee therapist frightened him. There was a scream on the spot.

Lorencia was naturally also the first to receive the news. When Remus, who she was dating with Ben, rushed to the hospital, Sirius and Regulus had already arrived, and they were standing in the corner of the ward singing along with James. Joking with the therapists, the therapists in the room were not as calm as they were, and each of them looked either excited to death or nervous to cry, or both. "It should be at least two weeks!" When Lorenzia walked in the door, she heard one of them complain clearly, and she almost laughed out loud.

"Sounds like you'd rather not have me wake up earlier?" James moaned in mock disappointment.

"The days of peace in the world are more than one day." Remus walked into the ward with a smile.

"Moon face! Isn't it true that you and Padfoot can't make any trouble without me? What's wrong with this world?" James was shocked.

Lorenthia still couldn't help laughing.Sirius looked at her, and joked: "Moonface doesn't have time to play tricks, he's too busy to fall in love."

To this day, such words can no longer make Lorencia blush like before.She blinked innocently: "Yeah, we are still thinking, if you and Lily don't wake up, we will miss our wedding."

"What?" James yelled, a carp was about to jump up from the bed, and was immediately held down by all hands and feet. Several therapists turned to stare at Lorenthia, with "please" on their faces. Don't make a mess" expression.Lorenthia smiled shyly, and said nothing more—half a year of hard work had finally paid off, and it seemed that James hadn't experienced any sequelae such as mental disorders or amnesia, so she couldn't help being a little too excited.

"Wait, wait, who will explain to me, isn't it said that I only slept for eight months?!" James was pressed on the bed, still twisting and asking, "You are going to get married? In the middle what happened?"

The four looked at each other and laughed. "What happened in the middle is a long story..." Regulus said.

"For the time being, you'll just have to celebrate Moon-face finally opening up," Sirius added.

After quickly confirming that James did not leave any aftermath, St. Mungo awakened Lily in the same way.They stayed at St. Mungo's for a while longer before being released, just in time for Harry's birthday.And the wedding date of Lorenthia and Remus was finally set, which was during the Christmas holiday of the same year.

After the war, Isaac Field's appointment as a visiting professor at the American Society of Alchemists just expired, and the family moved back to England, where they still lived in the original house.Since Remus' mother was still in poor health, the wedding was scheduled to be held at the Field House.Neither Lorenthia nor Remus had much interest in the wedding—they had gone through too many ups and downs and doubts along the way, and now that the two parties were finally able to strengthen their confidence in each other, the external form was not important.But as soon as the idea was proposed, it was strongly opposed by both mothers and Molly Weasley. "How can this work! You wear such a wedding dress once in your life, how can you not make it beautiful and beautiful, and leave the best memories!"

"It would be nice for me not to make such trouble!" Lorenthia tried to object, but Cassandra didn't listen to her at all.Before November, the two mothers started to get busy, ordering wedding dresses, cleaning up the house, and a lot of questions about meals, drinks, guests, bands, jewelry decorations, flowers, venue layouts, etc. Every day, Lorenthia was dragged by her mother to try this and that, and felt that the most difficult alchemy problems she encountered were not so daunting.

Entering the Christmas holidays, the enthusiasm of the two mothers—maybe three, including Mollie—reached a peak.James, Sirius, Casey, Deanna, Bill and Charlie on vacation all came to help, and even Fred and George came. Although Lorenthia secretly felt that they were not helping, at least They managed to distract Molly's attention.

"Can this skirt really be shortened?" Casey asked awkwardly while holding up her light green bridesmaid dress, "When I wear this, I always feel like I will step on the skirt at any time and trip myself up."

"If I have the final say, you can wear tight leather pants as a bridesmaid, but unfortunately, my mother probably won't agree." Lorenzia patted her on the shoulder sympathetically, "Don't worry, at least you don't have to. Wearing high heels - I still feel like I'm going to sprain my foot at any moment..."

While the two girls were complaining to each other and adjusting each other's hair accessories, there was a knock on the door.It was Lorenthia's turn to sit and get her hair straightened, and through the vanity mirror she saw Remus standing by the open door, holding a box in his hand. "Mrs. Field asked me to bring this box over, and said that you can still choose your tiaras from it. She is busy decorating the living room, and she will come over later to help you choose—"

"No need, that's fine!" Lorenthia hastily refused.Remus put down the jewelry box, and couldn't help laughing seeing the two girls avoiding her: "You are indeed very beautiful now."

The wedding is tomorrow, and they will have a rehearsal in the evening. Lorenzia has already put on a full set of bridal attire, from the wedding dress, jewelry, makeup, and hairstyle. Only the sandals are worn under the skirt for the convenience of movement. There is no time Put on high heels.Remus, too, had donned the straight dress robes and looked younger and more handsome than ever.

"Thank you." Lorenzia blushed slightly, "But please, Merlin, I don't want to spend another hour picking out jewelry—seriously, I hope the wedding is not so troublesome."

Remus suddenly smiled slightly, revealing a mischievous expression. "Casey, can you cover us?" he asked.

"Wh... of course! No problem!" Kathy immediately pulled Lorencia up and pushed her to Remus, "I'll leave Loren to you!"

"Wait, hello!" Lorenthia protested half-jokingly, but Remus had already taken her arm.She followed Remus out curiously: "Where are we going?"

Remus just smiled at her and didn't answer.They walked around to the back door from the kitchen, and Lily, Deanna, and Bill, who were helping in the kitchen, smiled knowingly at them.Lorenzia became even more curious: "You have colluded with everyone? What are you going to do?"

Remus led her to the corner of the small garden behind. "Apparate with me?" he asked softly.Lorenthia nodded, grabbed his arm tightly, and allowed herself to be disillusioned.

As soon as she landed, she recognized the spot—it was a small river a little away from her home, and she and Remus had once walked by the river.It was still early, and the surroundings were still bright, and the thin layer of snow under the feet reflected the evening light.She looked around, and was surprised to find countless white flowers blooming on the dead branches of the surrounding groves, all of which were in full bloom, revealing golden stamens.She raised her hand to lightly touch the lower branches beside her, and the petals as thin as snowflakes fell gently on her palm.

"We came for a walk half a month ago. You said you didn't want to have a complicated wedding, and pointed around and said that this place is very good." Remus explained beside her.

"So you..." Lorenthia was so moved that she couldn't speak for a moment, "God, Remus...you don't have to..."

Remus shook his head slightly.

"You can say I don't have to do it, just as you don't have to hold on to my refusal," he said. "I think I owe you a lot of apologies, Loren. I was too cowardly, or rather cowardly, to As for hurting you many times. I can't undo what happened in the past, but from now on, I hope to do the best in everything I can do for you."

Lorenthia felt her eyes burning, her throat was blocked, and she couldn't speak. "It's...I...I don't know what to say," she said, clearing her throat, "I...I never thought of..."

"Lily helped me design the lines." Remus admitted a little awkwardly.

They both laughed. "So, Loren...In short, I hope to give you the wedding you want, even though it's private...although I'm not sure I've done it." Remus said pulling Loren up Shia's hand, "Will you marry me, Miss Lorenzia Field?"

Lorencia threw herself into his arms, and at this moment she felt as if she owned the whole world: "I am willing."

☆, extra one

"Walk with me?" Lorenthia asked.

She has recovered more or less physically, but has not yet been released from the hospital - but the walk she is talking about here does not need to leave the ward at all.Her suitcase had already been brought in, standing against the corner, where there were originally only two rooms: the living room and the laboratory, and later a small garden was added to allow Snow Flower to play while she was locked in.Afterwards, the size of the small garden became larger and larger. After Lorenthia was admitted to the hospital, Newt expanded the area for her, added some decorations, and even created a virtual weather with magic.Her therapist doesn't approve of this, since getting in and out of a suitcase involves climbing up and down, but Lorenthia still sneaks in when she gets the chance.

This was not the first time she had made such an invitation. Remus skillfully cast a few warning spells on the door of the ward to prevent the healer from making a surprise inspection. When he turned around, Lorenthia had already opened the box and climbed in.Remus got out of the box after her, opened the door to the left of the living room, and entered the small garden.

There is only one kind of weather in the garden, and that is sunny—after being captured, Lorenthia still resists the dark light a little.The sun is not very strong, like the mild and warm weather in early spring, some ordinary flowers and magic plants grow on both sides of the path, a tall and lush laurel tree grows in the middle of the small garden, and the fragrance is transpiring in the sun .They walked around the garden a few times and chatted casually. Lorenzia suddenly said, "My parents are planning to move back to England."

Remus tilted his head to show that he was listening.

"They said that they agreed to the invitation of the American Alchemist Association to live temporarily in the United States to escape the war. Now that my father's contract there has just expired, so he rejected their invitation and planned to return to England. I don't know what my mother said. Plan—she worked as an Auror in the United States, and later became the security captain of the Wizarding Bank there. Now that Britain is not very peaceful, there should be many positions for her. I hope she will not choose the one that is too dangerous. "

"I don't think Mrs. Field will," said Remus. "She's still worried about you, after all."

"Hmm." Lorenthia answered absently, and glanced at Remus secretly from the corner of her eye. Remus immediately realized that what she just said was not what she really wanted to say.Sure enough, after a short pause, Lorencia continued: "So...you have already met my parents."

"Well, while you're still unconscious," Remus replied.

Lorenzia seemed to be trying to pretend to ask casually, but she couldn't help but keep peeking at him: "That time... I mean, how was that meeting?"

"We didn't really get a lot of chance to talk," said Remus. "I took you back to St. Mungo's with Dearborn, Edgar, and Fabian. Your parents were waiting, and we had a quick meeting. It was just being introduced to each other. You know, everyone was concerned about the situation of the three wounded you at that time."

Strictly speaking, he wasn't lying.This was indeed the case when they met for the first time. After the Aurors captured Sirius, he immediately told the place where Lorenthia and the others were imprisoned, but many people did not believe what he said, thinking that it was A trap, they suggested to proceed carefully, it is best to survey the surroundings in detail first, etc., but the members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't wait.Remus was the first to charge, followed by Dearborn, Edgar, Diggle, and the Prewett brothers.They soon found Lorenthia, the Longbottoms, and the Lestranges, all unconscious.Diggle and Prewett bundled the Lestranges and delivered them to the Aurors, while Remus and the others headed straight for St. Mungo's with the wounded.He did, therefore, meet the Fields there for the first time, and did not say a few words.

He just concealed some parts skillfully—they met a few times while Lorenthia was in a coma, and the next few meetings were not so pleasant.After all, no parents would look at her in a good mood if she worked so hard to chase after other boys for the precious daughter she raised on the tip of her heart.Coupled with the fact that Lorenthia had just suffered, they were angry, and Remus was angered for no reason.

However, although their faces were not good-looking, they did not mention their objection to the relationship between the two. Remus didn't want Lorenthia to worry, so he put the matter aside.He changed the subject: "You haven't met my parents yet, have you? My mother has wanted to see you for a long time. "

"No." Lorenzia's eyes widened. "Is she... planning to see me?"

"Both my parents wanted to meet you, in fact they've long wanted to, they just never had the chance," Remus said.

"Is...would you be too anxious? Do your parents really want to see me?" Lorencia was distracted and became nervous, "What did they say about me? No, they haven't seen me yet, you How did you tell them about me?"

"Don't be nervous, of course I only said good things about you." Remus smiled, "I've known you not long ago, I mentioned it when I told them about the new job, and my mother even came to visit the store, It's just that you were in the studio behind and didn't see you. Father praised you for your profound knowledge and exquisite magic control. He said that there are not many wizards who can reach this level at such a young age... They all liked you last Christmas A double-sided mirror as a gift.”

"Really? I was still worried that the gift was too simple." Lorenzia smiled, "I was still busy with the project last Christmas, and I didn't even have time to prepare the gift properly."

"How could it be crude? You're exaggerating." Remus laughed. "By the way, speaking of your project—is it ending early? I remember you mentioned in your letter that the scheduled time limit for the course is four years , why did it end in two years?"

"It ended early - on the one hand, our progress far exceeded expectations, on the other hand, at the end, everyone held several meetings, and everyone agreed that this direction should not continue." Lorenxi Ya said, frowning slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.Remus added: "If there are confidentiality restrictions or inconvenience, you don't have to answer. I don't have to know..."

"There are confidentiality restrictions, but you know how James and Lily survived, so it doesn't matter." Lorencia said, but she still instinctively looked up and looked around, even though they were only surrounded by boxes Planted flowers and trees.They went and sat down on the bench under the laurel tree. "The title of the project is "Research on Circular Magic Theory Based on Magic Power-Life Transformation", I think you still remember. The initial goal was to establish a complete theoretical system of cyclic magic, which was quickly achieved as scheduled. We found that, The establishment of the new theory has improved the instant response ability of the circulation magic to an extremely high speed, which can realize hundreds or thousands of self-circulation of magic power in one second. You know, I was studying Horcruxes before, and I It is very bold to propose to my mentor, whether it is possible to consider using this self-circulation system for defensive magic, absorbing offensive magic ability to enhance the resistance of items.

"This research direction is not far from the goal of the second stage. It was just a small proposal to refer to the principle of the Horcrux, so it was passed quickly. The goal of the second stage is about one year and three months. It was completed on time, half a year ahead of schedule, and the research progressed so smoothly that everyone became a little blindly optimistic—of course, no one thought it at the time. The deputy leader of the research team, Mrs. Barton, suggested that we might set a more Ambitious goals, for example, against the Death Curse.

"You can imagine how exciting this proposal was to a roomful of geniuses. At our stage, it wasn't impossible to achieve this effect, so we revised the third-stage goal on the proposal and turned to To study against the death curse, the locket worn by James and Lily is the final result of the third stage. Its basic principle is that magic items first need to be connected with the vitality of the owner, and the owner is unique and cannot be changed. In daily life It is in a dormant state when there is nothing to do, but once the owner is attacked, the locket will be activated instantly when the spell touches the body. It will absorb the energy of the attacking spell at a very fast speed, and perform magic power in multiple magic cycles- The vitality is transformed, and the vitality is fed back to the owner. That is to say, if you use a less deadly spell to attack, such as fainting, each spell will only make the opponent stronger."

"That sounds... a little dangerous," Remus said gently.

"Yes, but at the time we were a little... so to speak, too excited." Lorenthia said, "Our team leader, Mrs. Teresa, is an old friend of Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel, she Letters were sent to both. They disagreed at first, but after a few months, as the research progressed, Professor Dumbledore relented and he agreed to lend the damaged Horcruxes on the condition that everyone Make an unbreakable oath that the existence of Horcruxes must not be revealed; and he must participate in the progress of the research. In two years and one month, our research has produced results, but it has not been tested. After that, Nicole Flamel gave Mrs. Teresa and Mrs. Button each sent a long letter.

"I don't know what the letter is saying, but after they read it, they called everyone else and we had a lot of meetings," Lorenzia continued, "She just showed us the Nicole Flamel letter A part of it, which points out what it will look like if we continue to study in this direction: Yes, we may be able to resist the death curse, but the same magic and alchemy can easily become stronger by absorbing the life force of others His own black magic. Imagine if there was a dark wizard like Voldemort who went around killing people and converted all the life force of the people he killed into his own magic power, what a terrible monster he would turn into in the end? If Voldemort really had such Based on the number of people he killed, now Dumbledore is no longer his opponent, and no one can defeat him. Mr. Lemay’s letter poured cold water on everyone—we had already made The prototype of the locket, some people have even clamored to find an animal to test whether it can resist the death curse, but after a few days of cold, after the enthusiasm for research faded, when everyone really realized how much this research result can be transformed into Terrible black magic, everyone agreed to stop this project and keep the research results secret forever."

"Then you told me now, is it alright?" Remus asked worriedly.

"It has nothing to do with you. The specific principles of magic, the use and combination of spells, the design of the internal parts and runes of the locket, these are the key points, and I will not tell anyone about these." Lorencia Said, "Afterwards, Dumbledore admitted that he agreed to lend the damaged Horcrux, in fact, so that he could participate in the supervision of the research progress, and strangle the wrong research path ahead of time... I now understand why Ni Ke Lemay has clearly mastered the secret of making the Philosopher's Stone, but he has not announced it, watching us juniors groping blindly."

She sighed softly, her expression had changed, she had been a bit disappointed and ashamed just now, but now her face was full of sadness and disappointment.This was completely different from the radiant look she had when she talked about alchemy in the past.Remus gently put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her.

"Dumbledore advised me many times in the past that I shouldn't study Horcruxes, and now I understand. Some alchemy is too dangerous for the current magic world-I know these reasons." Lorencia said, "I'm just...we can't pursue knowledge with that kind of pure enthusiasm. There are still higher roads to climb, but we have to stop due to various external reasons. It's not that we can't go on, but Not being able to keep going, it's really... really sad."

Remus smiled bitterly: "After all, many things in the world are not as pure as academic research."

"I understand the truth. I just... After all, this is a subject that has devoted a lot of effort. I know it can't continue, but it's really sad." Lorenzia said, leaning her head on Lai On the shoulder of James, "When I find a way to wake up James and Lily, I plan to give up this direction. If the knowledge obtained through research can only be known by myself, then what's the fun in it?"

Remus stroked her hair reassuringly.But the world is like this, she can't really live in an ivory tower with pure academic research, and he can't comfort her. "What are your plans for the future?"

"I thought, maybe go to a Muggle university," said Lorenzia.Remus raised her eyebrows in surprise. Seeing his surprised expression, a smile finally appeared on her lips, "I used to modify those weapons because of the need of the situation... But many theories of Muggle science are actually It's very interesting. Maybe this will become my next research direction, who knows. However, if this is the case, I don't know if the family store will continue to open. I don't think my father seems very interested. Over there, it looks like you want to concentrate on research..."

"I was just about to tell you about this," said Remus. "Dumbledore invited me to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts."

"Really?" Lorenthia's eyes lit up, "Great! You will definitely be a good teacher."

"So happy?" Remus pretended to be sad, "I thought you wouldn't be so eager to drive me away."

"Of course not," Lorenthia laughed, "but I can tell you prefer Defense Against the Dark Arts to Alchemy—though I have a feeling that when James wakes up, he's going to be terrified. .”

"I became a teacher? James will be so frightened that he will make me disappear." Remus laughed. "I haven't had time to tell Sirius the news. I will tell him when I visit him tomorrow."

"How is Peter?" Lorenthia asked.

"There's still no news, but last time Mr. Scamander's cat - the one called Millie? It seems to have picked up a bit of Peter's scent." Remus said, "We'll catch him .”

His tone was firm and unquestionable, so Lorenthia smiled: "He will definitely be caught."

Sirius is still in prison, James and Lily are still unconscious, many Death Eaters are still at large, and Regulus, who has just returned to England secretly, is helping Dumbledore find the remaining four Horcruxes-this world is still alive today. It was a mess, and there were still many unresolved issues, but now that she was sitting under the laurel tree with Remus, she felt that things were going to get better.

The author has something to say: explain the principle of cheating that no one wants to see.

It is expected that if the author's dead line allows, there will be two extra episodes.

Also, some girl reminded me of Rodolphus Lestrange's name earlier and I got it wrong||||||||||||||||||||that comment I don't know why I can't find it now, thank you very much for pointing it out!There will be such a low-level error, I don’t know what I was thinking at the time||||||||||||||||

☆, episode [-]

"Go do your own homework, Ron! I'm almost overwhelmed - I haven't finished my astronomy paper yet, have a paragraph to add to my Transfiguration homework, and I've been stuck on this book for days! "

"Do you need to add more to the Transfiguration homework?!" Ron asked incredulously, "You've written it twice as long!"

Hermione buried herself in the calculations on the paper and ignored him, and Ron moved away complaining.But Hermione hadn't been quiet for a long time, and the place next to her was taken again.She raised her head anxiously, and found that it was Harry who sat next to her, and the twins sat down opposite her, one on the left and one on the right.

Alarm bells rang in Hermione's mind.If there's anyone in the whole school who can match the Weasley twins' level of mischief, it's Harry Potter, the son of the famous savior. "Is something wrong?" she asked cautiously.

"Come on, Hermione, I just want to help." Harry looked at her innocently with wide eyes, "When you put the book down just now, I glimpsed the cover of the book, is it "Introduction to Magical Technology" by Field? "

He seemed sincere and harmless, but Hermione had known him for over a year and couldn't be fooled by him. "Hmm. You think you can help? I warn you, if you're thinking of just burning the book—"

"That level of mischief is too low!"

"That's not what we do."

"Harry is way above that level, isn't he, Harry?"

"And this time, the few of us really want to help—"

Hermione looked at them half suspiciously, half curiously, and it suddenly occurred to her that she heard that Fred and George did often go to work in a small alchemy shop during the holidays—maybe they learned something there? "Okay, I'm stuck in Chapter 3, looking at magic from the perspective of technology." She said, pointing to an open page of the book, "Analyzing the force of the broomstick and then discussing the effect of magic power-this paragraph is fundamental. It just doesn't make sense."

"Oh, we are not interested in the combination of Muggle theory and magic." Harry shrugged, "but I know who you can ask."

"Who?" Hermione asked. "I've asked Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall, but the subject of magical science and technology is so new that they don't know that much about Muggle science—"

"Do you want to ask the author directly?" Fred asked with a smirk.

"Of course!" Hermione's eyes widened. "Could you be able to contact the author?"

The other three looked at each other, and Harry spread his hands out: "I know you've finished your potion homework, Hermione. Would you mind lending me and Ron a reference?"

Hermione glared at him, and pulled a roll of parchment from her bag. "Reference only!" She handed the parchment to Harry. "Now, can you tell me how to find the author?"

"Well, we can write to introduce you to each other," said George, "but the quickest way is—"

"—to find Professor Lupine." Fred said.

"Professor Lupine?" Hermione asked. "Professor Lupine is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts! This is a book on alchemy—"

"Go to him and try, just say you want to meet Lorenzia Field." Harry chuckled, "The two of them are very close, and he will help you, Hermione, and the teachers like you. "

"Okay, okay." Hermione sighed, "I will go to him after class tomorrow. But I warn you, the teachers are already very busy because of the secret room, if I find out that you are just trick me..."

"Seriously, I'm going to tease you about picking another teacher," said Harry. "Pick Remus? I'll get his revenge, I'm sure."

Although Hermione couldn't imagine Professor Lupine's mischief, she had heard a lot about the deeds of the "group of four" from Harry. I have to say that Harry's last reason was very convincing.After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class the next morning, she stopped Lupine at the door of the classroom: "Professor Lupine? I have a question for you."

Lupine nodded, and Hermione felt a little uncomfortable: "Yes, um... It's a question about alchemy."

Lupine raised his eyebrows slightly. "I must say, I do know a little about alchemy.
