Lupin looked at Ivan suspiciously. He did n’t know why the boy appeared outside the castle at this time, which was obviously not in line with common sense. But he does not intend to delve into it. Like him, everyone has his own secret.
In fact, after two consecutive months of contact, Lupin has a very good impression of Ivan's.
In his own class, the other party always answered all the questions as soon as possible. From the several homework assignments he has arranged, Ivan has a very deep understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts and unique insights.
Lupin has not seen such a good young man for many years, not to mention that Ivan and Harry's have a very good relationship, just like they were with James Potter, Pettigrew Peter and Sirius Black.
Thinking of Black, Lupin felt distressed for a while. He still couldn't believe that the other party would betray James and turn to Voldemort. They used to be the best friends.
He shook his head, maybe he always misunderstood people.
Black was also so good at that time, but he chose to betrayal in the end, the smarter people accounted for the gains and losses of their interests, and friendship was just a commodity that they could exchange at any time.
So, will this boy betray his friends for his own benefit like Black? !
Lupin carefully looked at Ivan, hoping to see something from it.
The next second, his eyes widened suddenly. He seemed to see a familiar figure in the grass opposite Ivan.
The tip of his wand(s) shone brightly and flew into the grass with nothing in it.
Is it an illusion?
Lupin was relieved and relieved. He now has a lot of contradictions in his heart.
On the one hand, he wanted to see Black to ask the whole thing clearly; on the other hand, he was afraid to see the other party, afraid that Black would tell himself how he sold James and Lily to Voldemort's.
Lupin ca n’t remember how many times he has been awakened by such a nightmare.
Twelve years have passed, but he has been blaming himself. He blamed himself for not discovering the true face of Black's earlier, so that he had the opportunity to sell James, and finally killed Pettigrew Peter. Wrong.
Lupin originally thought that this guilt will always be with him all his life, but Black escaped from Azkaban. Everyone is saying that the purpose of his escape is to kill Harry and kill his former friends. The only son.
Lupin can never let this happen again, which is why he accepted the invitation of Dumbledore and returned to Hogwarts to teach. He wants to protect Harry, maybe he can also catch Black in person, so that he can give an account of what happened.
Lupin took a deep breath, now is not the time to think about these things.
"Ivan, you should go back to the auditorium and stay with others." Lupin took two steps forward, and then he stopped suddenly.
He saw the grass in the grass opposite Ivan overwhelming in one direction. There was indeed anything there. He was right. It must be Animagus from Sirius Black. forget.
The boy in contact with Black is just a coincidence, or ...
Ivan sees the expression of Lupin and knows what he is thinking. This is really hard enough. He does n’t know how to explain this to the other party.
However, he doesn't have to worry about this matter immediately.
Just when he hesitated, something crawled out of the grass, Lupin apparently also heard the sound, and another glare flew over. It was Crookshanks, which was taken aback by the sudden light and rushed into the arms of Ivan.
"Professor, I came out to find this cat. It's my friend Hermione's pet. I just saw it run out of the castle. I was worried that it would have an accident, so I followed it."
Ivan does n’t know if Lupin will believe the excuses he is looking for. Lupin has carefully looked at Crookshanks for a while, revealing a relieved expression.
The two returned to the castle. They had just turned the corner of the foyer and saw Dumbledore and Snape standing outside the auditorium and talking about something.
"The entire castle was checked and no trace of him was found." Snape whispered.
"Very good, Severus, I don't really think Black will stay." Dumbledore said quietly.
"But there is one thing, I must want you to report it." Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "During the time of checking the castle, we have a teacher who has never been seen. It is the man I told you before. "
"What do you want to say, Severus?"
"I mean, how did Black get into the castle, do you have any insights on this, headmaster?" Snape said.
"Many, Severus, every kind is possible."
"Do you remember our conversation, just before the beginning of the semester?" Snape's voice is very low, he obviously does not want others to hear the conversation.
"Remember, Severus." The sound of Dumbledore contains a similar warning.
"It seems, almost impossible, Black can not enter this school without internal help, especially that person is still missing, you understand what I mean, I did express concern, before you accept your fate ... ... "
"I don't believe anyone in this castle will help Black come in." Dumbledore said, his tone clearly indicated that this matter has ended here, so Snape did not answer.
The person suspected by Snape is obviously Lupin. Ivan turned around and saw Lupin with a calm face, as if he did n’t hear what the two said.
"Severus, I must go to those dementor(s)s," Dumbledore said, "I said, we will inform them after the search."
"Are they going to help?" Snape said.
"Oh yes!" Dumbledore said coldly, "But I am afraid that as long as I serve as headmaster for a day, I will never allow them to cross the school threshold."
Ivan saw Dumbledore approaching the hall. When he saw himself and Lupin, he was a little surprised, and Snape followed.
"You guys are eavesdropping on our conversation?" Snape's's gaze kept moving between the two, and finally locked on Lupin, with a hateful expression.
"Professor, we don't have ..."
"Be careful when making up lies, Mason!" Snape turns its attention to Ivan, "I have to remind you first, according to the order of headmaster, you should now sleep in the auditorium, not with you. People who do n’t understand walk out of the castle and do sneaky things. "
"I ..." Ivan is speechless. Snape and Dumbledore are more difficult to deal with each other. He hastily re-explained the reason for going out to find Crookshanks.
"For this stupid cat, Gryffindor buckles very much." Snape said in disgust, "Now go to the auditorium to sleep now, where is where you should stay."
Ivan hurried towards the auditorium. When he was about to enter, he turned around and saw Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin still standing there, not knowing what to say.
