[HP] Guardian

After a few days, the face of the old bat became darker and darker, and everyone knew why.The story of the Boggart appearing as an old bat and Neville dressing him up in his grandmother's clothes spread like wildfire around the campus.There was a menacing gleam in Old Bat's eyes when he heard Lupine's name.

Harry lived in the cellar trembling every day, he was afraid that he would be accidentally injured, and every night he came back from the cellar feeling like he was covered in a cold sweat.Even so, he sneaked into the Room of Requirement every night to attend to himself, during which he grabbed Peter, put a hex and multiple tracking spells on him, and put him back in Ron's bag with an Oblivion Charm.

At the beginning of October, the spirit soothing agent was finally brewed, and this cauldron was enough to treat Sirius for three months.The approach of the Quidditch season also kept Harry very busy, but Harry still stayed in the cellar when he was free, and helped the old bat deal with the potion after finishing his thesis. Snape faced the little troll who had invaded his territory Helpless, the two of them didn't like to talk too much and brewed potions but they had a tacit understanding. The cellar was still deserted, but the accident seemed extraordinarily harmonious.

After returning from training that night, he suddenly felt a big dog passing by the Whooping Willow. He stopped the corner of his mouth from rising, got up from the bed in the middle of the night, and slipped out of the castle wearing an invisibility cloak. The Whomping Willow ran, and the grumpy tree would not let him go just because he was the heir to the castle. After finally subduing the Whomping Willow, he hurriedly ran into the cave.

He took off the invisibility cloak, waved his wand, and stumbled through the passage.

"Godfather" Harry yelled at the entrance of the cave and ducked into the room. The big dog let down his guard and ran out from the corner, pounced on Harry.Harry hugged the big dog tightly in his arms and wouldn't let go.

"I miss you very much" he cried into Dagou's ear, this man who promised to give him a family gave him short-lived fatherly love, his departure almost made him collapse.The big dog licked his face and purred, obviously he was also very excited.

"Okay, change back, I have to tell you something." Harry controlled his emotions, wiped away his tears, and patted the big dog sitting in front of him to make him change back to his original form.

"Harry" Sirius was as thin as a skeleton, he held his godson in his arms tremblingly with his yellow teeth bared.Harry stroked Sirius' bony back reassuringly.

"Godfather, I'm sorry, I'm useless and I couldn't save you." He was not a weak person, but he couldn't stop crying again.

"No, I'm sorry for you, if it wasn't for..." Sirius darkened his expression, he quickly grabbed his godson and looked him up and down before he was relieved, "That traitor is by your side, didn't he hurt you?"

"I'm fine, Godfather don't worry." Speaking of Peter, Sirius became irritable, and he shook his body a little manically, Harry quickly took out the mental soothing agent and handed it to him.

"Soothing, drink it and it will feel better." He took out still warm food and water from his pocket and handed them to Sirius. "You eat something first, I'll tell you something."

Sirius took the potion and drank it, and it took him a while to calm down.He ruffled Harry's messy hair, and finally there was a faint light in his eyes.

"Harry, you really look like your father." Sirius seemed to recall the past, and he showed a bright smile.

"Godfather, I have to take you back to the castle, but you have to promise me that even if you see Peter, you will not be impulsive. I want your reputation to be restored safely. Your freedom is more important than Peter." Harry looked at him firmly.

"No, I can't stay by your side, I'll kill you..." Harry quickly grabbed Sirius' hand and comforted him.

"Listen to me, I found a safe place in the castle, I can't leave you outside alone, you worry about me and I worry about you, these days are surrounded by dementors, I can't come out often, promise me I'll go back, okay?" Harry looked at him imploringly, and Sirius finally nodded yes.

Harry turned Sirius back into a big dog. He put on the invisibility cloak and entered the castle carefully. Harry was not relieved until he entered the Room of Requirement.

"Godfather, you stay here, don't go to Peter, I will find evidence and set you free." Harry placed Sirius in the lounge, and he gave him the soothing potion and dreamless potion.

"You just settle here, I will come here every day to deliver food and clothes to you, you should go out as little as possible, Professor Dumbledore has surveillance rights over the castle, if you are seen by the portrait, they will tell Dumbledore "The portrait can help the heir to conceal his movements, but for others, as long as Dumbledore asks, the portrait will not lie to the principal.

"Okay, I know, you go back to rest earlier, pay attention to Peter, don't let him hurt you" Sirius calmed down emotionally and mentally under the effect of the drug, he knew it was powerful, and nodded in agreement with his godson.

The safe return of Sirius made the big stone in his heart fall safely, and he finally had a good sleep peacefully.In the early morning of the next day, he got up early and slipped into the Room of Requirement. Although he was already the heir of the castle, he was worried about the other elves in the castle, so he had to call Dobby and ask him to take care of Sirius' food and daily life. Dobby was leaving After the Malfoy family, he became the elf of Hogwarts, which he asked Dumbledore to agree to.Harry wanted to pay him alone, but Dobby flatly refused. He said it was an honor to take care of Mr. Potter, but he strongly opposed the residence of Sirius. Although Harry repeatedly promised that he would not be injured in the castle, he Still find Sirius unbelievable.And because of the suppression of the castle contract, they couldn't mention anything about the heirs. Even Dumbledore, Harry only asked them to report some ordinary things, so Dobby felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and he swore that he would protect Bobby. Mr. Te's safety.

When Sirius stabilized, Harry began to plan for Peter. He wanted to let Peter expose the prototype directly, but after discussing with Sirius, he wanted to talk to the traitor in person, and also wanted to meet his old friend Lupin.Harry knew that his godfather never cared about his innocence, he cared more about the trust of his friends, he nodded and promised to bring Lupine here, so he started to get close to Lupine intentionally that day.

Harry didn't mention Sirius at first, but chatted with Lupine casually. He was like a good student, asking and teaching him what he didn't understand. Lupine was very willing to teach him. Harry grew up Like James but with a gentle and intelligent character like Lily, just like they are still there, Lupine is relieved that his old friend has such an excellent son.

On the day he went to Hogsmeade, Harry decided to start testing Lupine. Although there was no Marauder's Map, he tried to make Lupine believe in Sirius as soon as possible.After seeing off the two friends, Harry turned and went to Lupine's office.

"Good morning, Professor." Harry knocked on the office door. Lupine was fiddling with the props for the next class, watching Harry come over, he gently beckoned Harry to come and watch.

"I just received Grindylow for our next lesson, come and see" A sickly green thing with spiky little horns in the huge tank grimaces as it presses its face against the glass , constantly stretching its slender claws.

"Oh! Naughty water monster." Harry greeted the green-toothed Grindylow across the water tank, and the water monster retreated into the water plants in fright.

"Harry, I heard from all your professors that you are very good and polite, just like your mother." Lupine led him to the table and sat down, boiling water and making tea.

"Really? Professor Snape always said that I'm a troll brain, which made me very sad." Harry stuck out his tongue and took the tea that Lupine handed over, showing no sign of sadness at all.

"Oh! You have to know that Severus has this kind of personality, but the medicine is really good, except that the taste is a bit bad." Lupine pointed, and Harry nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Professor, can I ask you to teach me the spell of summoning the Patronus?" He needed a chance to learn so that he would not be so obtrusive in summoning the Patronus.

"Summoning a complete Patronus is quite difficult, well, you can try if you want to learn, but it will take a while, I'm always sick and sick." Harry consulted him on many spells, and Lupine only thought he was easy to learn Didn't think much of it.

"Professor, can I ask you a question?" Lupine nodded for him to say "My godfather he..."

"Who told you that you have a godfather!" Lupine interrupted him in surprise, he adjusted his nervous expression, and calmed down before speaking.

"Whatever you hear, don't believe it." He got up and put his arm around Harry's shoulders, afraid that the kid might do something impulsive.

"I remember Sirius...Professor, what if I said this...isn't what you know?" Lupine's eyes widened, but a sudden knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two, and Lupine sat back on his own The location is adjusted and the state is said to come in.

The door opened and Snape walked in.He was holding a goblet in his hand, which was steaming slightly. When he saw Harry, he stopped and his black eyes narrowed.

"Ah, Severus," Lupine said with a smile, "thanks, will you put it on the desk?" Snape put down the steaming mug, his eyes flicking back and forth between Harry and Lupine. move.

"I'm showing Harry my Grindylow," Lupine said cheerfully, pointing to the water tank.

"Fascinating," said Snape, without looking there. "You should just drink it, Lupine."

"Yes, yes, I'll drink it," said Lupine.

"I made a pot full," said Snape, "if you want more"

"I'll probably have another drink tomorrow. Thanks, Severus"

"You're welcome." Snape lowered his eyes and didn't look at the two of them again, then exited the room with a malicious smile.

"Severus kindly concocted a potion for me. I've never been good at brewing medicine, but unfortunately I can't put sugar in it." He sniffed it, took a sip, and trembled.

"Professor Snape's potion has a very special taste. I was bitten by a basilisk when I was in the second grade. I was not poisoned by the basilisk. I passed out after drinking the professor's potion." Harry didn't care about Lupine. Instead, he teased him jokingly, which made Lupine laugh out loud.Today is not suitable for further conversation, Harry and Lupine chatted a few words, then bid farewell and left.

Harry chatted with Lupine and didn't notice the arrival of the old bat. He stood in the corridor on the third floor and asked the portrait. He didn't know if the old bat heard the conversation.

"Your Excellency, Professor Snape knocked on the door directly with the potion and didn't stay." A portrait of an old pedant in the corridor answered his question, Harry let out a sigh of relief, thanked the portrait and walked to the dormitory.The old bat probably didn't hear it, but I have to try it out in the afternoon.

Harry had lunch with Sirius in the Room of Requirement at noon. The big dog and Crookshanks were having a great time. This clever cat had attacked Peter many times for the big dog. Deep camaraderie.

"Godfather, remember to take the medicine, I'm leaving." The big dog whined and said that he knew it, and Harry took his things and walked to the basement.

The fact that the little troll and the werewolf walked very close recently made Snape feel a little uncomfortable. Seeing the little troll entered the cellar again, Snape snorted unhappily, but he didn't spew out any venom.Harry put his book away, took over the work of the old bat and continued to make medicine.In his spare time, Harry continued his dissertation. Thanks to the long-term cooperation of the little troll, Snape had some time to read the books he was interested in. The two of them had never disturbed each other, and this distance made both of them feel appropriate.

"Today...I went to Professor Lupine to learn the Patronus Charm, but he said it would take a while...Professor, how long will the werewolf recovery period take?" Snape paused his hand flipping the book, that is, briefly For a moment, he spoke as usual.

"You should ask Lupine this question, after all, he is your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." The old bat did not shy away from him when he made the wolf-binding potion, and even wanted to see the little troll find out that Lupine was Werewolf expression.Well... so bland, the old bat didn't find it interesting.

"I thought the professor and Professor Lupine were quite familiar..." Harry smiled gently, as if he hadn't seen the old bat's face suddenly darken. "Professors don't usually bother to make medicine for others." Name, the old bat did not refute, although Harry did not dare to say that.

"That's because I agreed to Mr. Principal, after all, he doesn't want his students to be attacked by their professors." The old bat glared at the fearless little troll. Seeing that the little troll smiled meaningfully, he almost bit his own tongue , he regretted explaining so much.

"Then the savior learned the Patronus spell, is he going to take risks again?" Learning the Patronus at this time, the old bat couldn't think that the little troll was for something else.

"Well, yes." Harry continued slowly before the old bat started spewing venom, "I don't think they can bear the excitement of the Quidditch game. I don't want to be attacked again. I really don't like that. It’s a feeling. But it’s very difficult to summon a complete Patronus, I tried a few times and only got a faint light.”

"I thought there was nothing the savior couldn't..." The old bat smoothed the corner of the book with his fingers, and his eyes dimmed a little as if he remembered something. "You can think about the happiest time, maybe you can summon a stupid lion."

"What is the professor's patron saint?" Harry lowered his head and asked seemingly unintentionally.

"I don't think I'm obliged to satisfy the savior's curiosity." The old bat glared at the little troll's messy hair, and looked at the book in his hand again, but he didn't know if he really read it.
