Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 743: Lupin’s Secret

  Chapter 744 Lupin's Secret

  The castle, which had been deserted due to the Christmas holiday, became lively again after the students returned.

  Gryffindor students gathered together in twos and threes to chat about trivia during the vacation, and a few students were working **** their vacation homework.

  Albert tidied up his dormitory and sat by the window with Lee Jordan playing wizard cards. This deck is not the same as the original one, the classification is more detailed, and even the cards have become very formal, and they can be sold.

  Although wizard cards are not as popular as they used to be, there are still many students in the school who are willing to join wizard card clubs.

   Everyone is not just for the championship reward, but because they can always find friends in the club to play poker with.

   It feels really good to get everyone together to play poker.

   The only regret is that wizard cards have not yet been produced on a large scale, and selling them is a loss-making business. Today's Wizards Card Club relies more on Lee Jordan's enthusiasm for management, and he himself is very enthusiastic about it.

   "It's not easy to finally win you once." Lee Jordan stretched his arms and said with a smile, "You haven't played wizard cards for too long."

   "Yeah, I haven't played for a long time." Albert put down the wizard card in his hand, looked sideways at Fred and George who were copying homework, and asked with a smile, "How is it, copying Are you done?"

  "Come on, there's one last bit left."

  "It will be finished soon."

   "I don't know why the two of them just don't want to spend some time on this." Lee Jordan is not surprised by this. After every vacation, Fred and George need to make a surprise copy of their homework to complete the vacation homework. .

  "Who saw Harry?"

  Wood looked around the common room and walked towards Fred and George.

   "Wood, what are you doing with Harry? He seems to be going back to the dormitory just now, and he should be down soon." Lee Jordan raised his hand and greeted Wood, "Oh, he's here."

   "Something." Wood didn't say much, he had already seen Harry.

   "Guess what they're talking about?" Lee Jordan said, looking at the two over there.

   "Probably a Quidditch thing, Wood is only concerned with Quidditch right now." Albert speculated: "He was probably asking Potter if he had bought a new broom and if there was a way to fix the camera Goblin problem."

  "I guess so."

  Lee Jordan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back, and quietly leaned over to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

  Albert put away the cards on the table, put them back in the box, and moved his eyes to the sneaky Lee Jordan, feeling amused.

  "Firebolt? Really? A real Firebolt?"

  Wood's voice was so loud that he almost shouted it out. The atmosphere in the whole common room couldn't help but stagnate. Everyone could feel his excitement and excitement from Wood's voice, and all looked at Harry and Wood. Where he was, he quietly raised his ears to eavesdrop.

   "With a curse? How could there be a curse?" Wood couldn't believe what he heard.

  "No, I'll go talk to Professor McGonagall and ask her to make some sense."

   Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that Wood seemed to be stimulated, his face was pale, and he hurriedly walked out of the common room.

  "Harry received a Firebolt as a Christmas present."

   Lee Jordan told Albert and the twins the news when he returned, "But the Firebolt was not signed, and I don't know who gave Harry the Christmas present. Professor McGonagall thought the Firebolt was very good. Suspicious, worried about some evil spell on it, so took Firebolt away for inspection."

   "Professor McGonagall thinks it is normal for the Firebolt to be suspicious. After all, there is no signature, and the Firebolt is very expensive. If someone deliberately moves on it, Potter may be in danger after riding his broom." Albert expressed understanding to Professor McGonagall's approach, and she was only concerned about the safety of Harry Potter, although the other party might not necessarily appreciate it.

   "The whole country is searching for Blake, how can he walk into a Quidditch boutique to buy a broom?" Ron, who was sitting not far from them, retorted softly.

   "Why do you want to enter the Quidditch boutique?" Albert looked at Ron suspiciously and reminded, "As long as someone is willing to pay, and can afford it, let the owl help pre-order, as for the buyer, Just think of a name and deal with it."

   "Do you also think that Firebolt was given by Black?" Hermione had just climbed into the common room from the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but interrupted when she heard them talking about it.

   "I don't know, as long as the person who delivered the Firebolt is not found, everything is possible, right?" Of course Albert knew that the Firebolt was a gift from Black to Harry.

   "Albert, can we talk privately?" Hermione said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you."

  "Important?"

  "Important."

   "Okay." Albert stood up and followed Hermione out of the common room.

   The two found a remote and unoccupied hidden passage. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, Hermione took a few deep breaths, tried to calm her emotions, and said, "I found that Professor Lupin seems to be... Werewolf."

   Hermione spoke quickly of how she discovered Professor Lupin's identity.

  It turns out that during the Christmas holidays, Hermione had done Snape's homework on how to identify and kill werewolves, and found that Professor Lupin always took time off during the full moon, and that his Boggart was a moon.

   After Hermione finished talking about her discovery, she noticed that Albert didn't have much reaction, and couldn't help asking: "You already knew that, right?"

   "Well, I guessed it. I guessed it after noticing that Professor Lupin always got sick during the full moon." Albert didn't deny it. As for the excuse, of course he made it up casually, Hermione just mentioned the moon profit and loss statement.

   "How could Dumbledore let a werewolf come to teach us Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Hermione looked disturbed, although from the Muggle world, she still knew exactly what a werewolf meant.

   In the wizarding world, werewolves are more notorious than giants because once bitten by a werewolf, it basically means life is ruined.

   "Although many werewolves have become very evil because of the isolation of other wizards and other wizards, there are still a small number of werewolves who are kind." Albert softly soothed Hermione's uneasy emotions and continued: "Professor Lupin is clearly not an evil wizard, otherwise Dumbledore would not have invited him to serve at the school."

  "But when I became a werewolf..."

  "Professor Lupin is not a threat to students as long as it is properly controlled."

  "reasonable control?"

   "Yes, since Professor Dumbledore made Professor Lupin a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, I think he should have asked Professor Snape to prepare Professor Lupin's wolf poison potion. As long as you take this potion, the werewolf Being able to remain sane after the transformation will not be so dangerous."

  Hermione remembered that Harry had mentioned that Snape tried to use drugs to murder Lupin, and the potion at that time should be the so-called "Wolf Poison Potion".

   "Actually, most of the werewolves had a hard time, and it's not difficult to see this from Professor Lupin's clothes." Albert sighed softly: "Professor Dumbledore undoubtedly gave Lupin It's a decent job to teach, but one thing you need to be aware of, it's also a risky profession to teach."

   "Are you referring to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's curse?" Hermione had also heard that hardly a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor could serve for more than a year.

   "You probably don't know that since I came to Hogwarts, apart from Professor Budd's early resignation and no injuries, Professor Smith has disappeared, Professor Quirrell has died, and Professor Lockhart has become a fool." Albert continued: "I don't think many wizards are willing to come to Hogwarts to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. This position is too unlucky, and Professor Lupin just needs a decent career, so Professor Dumbledore And just because there is a shortage of talent, he will be invited to serve in the school."

   "Of course, I think in order to prevent Professor Lupin from having an accident, it is best to remind him to resign in advance to avoid possible dangers."

   Hermione opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

  "Will you help keep it a secret~IndoMTL.com~?"

  Hermione nodded.

   "By the way, did you quarrel with Potter and Weasley?" Albert asked off topic.

   "Because of the Firebolt, they both ignored me." Hermione's mood was a little down.

   "This... it can only be said that we are still young, and some things are not so thorough." Albert comforted softly, "Most people are actually more concerned about their own feelings, whether it is you or me. , Ron or Harry, we're more concerned with our own business."

   "I think Harry knows you're good for him, but sometimes it's like that. People are complex creatures, and sometimes they don't want you to be good for him." Albert suddenly said, "I think You look tired, and the twelve courses put a lot of pressure on you. If I were you, I'd give up divination and Muggle studies."

   "I can't do it, I don't want to give up." Hermione shook her head.

  "Sometimes it's like that," Albert said calmly. "As a friend, all I can do for you is to persuade you to drop a few courses and give you some advice, that's all."

   "Of course, I'm not qualified to say that." Albert laughed at himself.
