Chapter 3 What's the Situation?

Whether it involves or not, Alan doesn't want to explain at all at the moment.

After all, Party A's Sirius paid for it, and in line with professional ethics, Alan decided not to be heartbroken.

Whatever people say it is, it's all out of kindness, and another stab would be too much—why let Sirius go and fight Anne alone?

Could it be that Sirius didn't have a score, and he could still follow it—Alan managed to get him out of Azkaban, so that he could give away his head now?

——

That night, a black box was carefully taken out from under the bed and placed on a table by Sirius, who had been dressed for travel, and then solemnly opened the box.

Harry's eyes, which had been watching him lock all the doors and windows, were full of curiosity - Sirius had never mentioned this thing to him, and the current posture was clearly not an ordinary thing in the box.

So, when the box was opened, Harry's disappointed sigh fell into everyone's ears - inside the box was a can of sardines, and it was the finished one.

Harry's outlook on life and values had apparently been taken aback after the box had been opened - his beloved godfather, the treasure thing, was such a canned fish that he had eaten?

"Oh, Sirius, this joke - well, how to put it, it's funny, but it seems-" Harry tried his best to cover up for his godfather, but later he gave up on the move himself - because what he was doing was nothing to do with mysterious magic...

Alan was also stunned - he had thought that Sirius was going to send some secret treasure from the Black family to increase the success rate of the operation before the operation, but Sirius showed him this?

This is an unforgivable operation like coding a gourd baby - Sirius, you're not a twin brother, why are you making such a joke?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to complain, an answer appeared in his mind, which made Allen, who had always been bold, stunned.

"Doorkey?"

Allen's thoughts blurted out - and Sirius's playful eyes suddenly became surprised, because he didn't even think Alan would recognize him.

Indeed, it was surprising that Alan recognized this - for most wizards in the unconventional wizarding world, the portkeys had nothing to do with them.

Even wizards who grew up in the wizarding world only had access to the Portkey when they watched a Quidditch match - and in that case, they would ignore the little thing when they were tempted by Quidditch.

However, it seems that this thing can be used by everyone present, but in fact, after leaving the Quidditch World Cup, it is not accessible to ordinary wizards at all.

The reason is simple - every portkey must be manufactured and used under the supervision of the Ministry of Magic, otherwise it will be a serious violation.

It may sound like an illegal Animagus, but the treatment is definitely not the same - an illegal Animagus is a few years of Azkaban, and an illegal portkey, well, Professor Lupin has explained this behavior - "It's not enough to take your life." ”

Yes, it's not enough to take your life - behind that, there are a series of harsh punishments from the Ministry of Magic, such as confiscation of family property, investigation of family members, and so on.

The forbidden spells known as the three unforgivable spells, the price of their use is - Azkaban for the rest of their lives.

In other words, in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic, the use of an illegal portkey is even worse than using the Unforgivable Spell or even becoming a Death Eater homicide - which is why Eren is so nervous when he sees this portkey.

As for why he would be so idle to study the punishment of this portkey - the reason is simple, Eren himself knows that it is more difficult to die, so he must first know where the bottom line of death in the wizarding world is, otherwise if he falls into some strange spot, he will die.

Of course—why this punishment was so severe, Alan didn't know yet, but he didn't have the time to delve into it right now—he didn't rely on wizarding to make money, so he wouldn't find the most lucrative deals from above...

Probably Sirius also understood what Eren meant, and he said in an extremely relaxed tone: "Don't worry, it's not illegal - Dumbledore knows about the existence of this thing, we went there secretly this time, and this goal cannot be achieved without a portkey." ”

"Secretly?"

Harry exclaimed, "Aren't we on a trip?"

"Of course – of course we're on a trip, but that's tomorrow. Sirius touched Harry's head, not hiding anything from him at the moment.

"Actually, Alan and I are going to go on some errands first, and we'll be back in the middle of the night—" he looked up at Allen, "I'm sorry—there are some things I don't understand in the letter, after all, the other party is too mysterious, and I'm afraid that the owl will be intercepted by them, in fact, there are some deviations in both the location and the time of action. ”

Alan rolled his eyes: "Okay, it's good for you to be happy, I'll say anything." ”

Harry was confused, but Sirius clearly didn't have the intention of explaining everything: "Let's go to Lupin and meet with the others first, and then discuss the rest-"

As she spoke, Sirius handed over the box.

Alan looked disgusted and found a non-greasy corner, pressed his hand up, and Sirius pressed the portkey almost at the same time - and then, Annie's hand rested on Alan's, and the portkey hooked out after a short delay.

With a force coming from his navel, Alan felt the shuttle of space again—he easily found Anne beside him, and hugged her with one hand, using his skillful skills to completely eliminate the instability caused by this long-distance spatial movement.

As for Sirius?

Ahem, I'm sorry, sir, and I'm blessed.

When they were about to reach their destination, the can shook, and all of them couldn't help but shake Allen, and then stopped suddenly.

Eren easily stopped the contrast, and Sirius stabilized after shaking slightly, and his eyes were on Alan—well, mostly for jokes.

A familiar voice suddenly came: "It's just right - it's 23:00 UK time, 18:00 US time, Bigfoot, if you haven't eaten yet, I think it's just time for dinner." ”

Then, Lupin's face appeared in the setting sun - his current state of mind even made Alan suspect that he was a different person, and that his mental state was even better than when he was at Hogwarts.

But it was normal to think about it—in Hogwarts, he had to beware of leaking the secret that he was a werewolf, hiding Sirius from Harry, and thinking about the betrayal of his friend, and now it was all a cloud for him.

The real betrayer has been caught, and the fact that he is a werewolf has been leaked beyond the disclosure - and no one cares that he is a werewolf anymore, because he is in a werewolf tribe.

His friends are doing well, Harry is doing well - he has given an account to his friends who are alive and dead alive, and he has nothing to worry about.

And so, just as Allen thought, Professor Lupin got a new life—a new student who didn't discriminate at all.

Compared to the misery of the werewolf tribe on the British side, the American side has a sense of home for him - the werewolves here have their own land, do not need to wander, do not worry about encirclement and suppression (yes, the Ministry of Magic gave the Aurors a mission for a while to kill giant werewolves and vampires), and life is thriving.

Well, this is not a boast, but a fact - because it is completely visible.

That's right, it's obvious - because Professor Lupin is fat now, not a little, it's a circle...

If it weren't for the familiarity of everyone, Alan almost didn't recognize it.

In fact, not only Allen, but even Sirius didn't care to blame Annie who suddenly came with him, but looked at his old friend with a look of surprise.

"Oh, Merlin - Moonface you're really a moonface now, what happened to you in the month I've been away?"

I want to know too!

However, Lupin didn't mean to explain, he looked at Sirius with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early, we still have to meet the Crazy Eye Man, Alan, you seem to have grown taller - hey, why did Annie come here too?"

Anne greeted the professor very obediently, again without explanation.

Lupin didn't care, and walked inside with a few of them—Alan noticed that Sirius had destroyed the portkey, and there was not even any scum left.

——

It's still a familiar valley — but four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The valley, which used to look a little flowery and silly, is now in good shape—the original tents have now been replaced by huts, and although they are a little untidy and even strangely shaped, they feel more at home than before.

Many of the werewolves in it still knew Eren - they greeted Eren in a friendly manner, and some children even ran over to hand over some small snacks, and only left after Alan took it with a smile, and his expression was no longer the cowardice of the year, and he was completely similar to a normal child.

Lupin was treated in the same way—though the children looked at him with some fear, but with respect.

"I'm teaching here now – they can go to Ilvermorny, but I'm teaching them before they go to school. Lupin introduced with a smile.

Well, from a junior high school teacher to a preschool teacher and an elementary school teacher - but parents here are definitely not worried about Lupin biting their children.

Actually—the children of the wizard's family don't go to elementary school.

Their literacy curriculum is entirely dependent on their mother's pre-school education or something—because for them, a lot of things can be completely replaced by magic.

It can be seen that although the students are younger, Professor Lupin is very happy.

Lupin's house is in the middle of the valley, although it is a little remote, but the scenery is very good, and judging from the decoration of the house, it is clear that Lupin is extremely popular here - all kinds of small decorations are inserted in the corner of the house, and when Alan comes over, there is a little imp who tries to insert a bouquet of hyacinths on it - of course, why are there flowering hyacinths in this season, Alan said that this is not scientific but very magical.

In short, Lupin's house was fancy and didn't look like a big man's house, but apparently he didn't care.

He opened the door with a smile, and a wand was aimed directly at him.

"Who?"

"It's me, Lupin, with Sirius and Alan. ”

"Why one more!"

"Oh man, things have changed, Annie is Alan's sister, she came with her on a trip, and we can't get her back - the portkey isn't something you can get by casually. “

"What was the last thing we said when we were apart?"

"Tell them the code, confirm the identity and bring it over. Professor Lupin shrugged his shoulders and repeated the exact words.

。。。

Well, Alan finally understands why Barty Crouch chose to disguise himself as the Mad-Eye.

It's too easy to imitate - just go against others and be cautious.

And as an infiltrator disguised as someone else, it is easy to pretend to be like this - infiltrating itself is an extremely cautious behavior, and with Moody's habits, how to do it is handy.

And in the house, it is very strange that there is an acquaintance of Allen, Mr. Auror.

He missed the fortune boy for many days, and Mr. Auror had been with him for a long time during his journey to fortune.

Although we don't even give each other Christmas gifts, it's still fun to meet each other at this time - especially since this is the first place they worked together, which is really worth nostalgic.

I remember that it was here that he shared the food with Mr. Auror at a reasonable price, and after that, everyone's cooperation began one after another - I don't know, will everyone be a little happy with today's meeting?

Alan smiled harmlessly.

He had to say hello to his old friends, and it wasn't too late for the other wizards to get to know each other later.

Just as he was about to raise his hand, there was a knock at the door—the Mad-Eyed man's wand was raised.

However, a nice voice came from the door: "Professor Lupin is here, I'm Eva, I'll bring you some snacks." ”

???

Allen's eyes suddenly appeared with an eight-array diagram, this is a story!

Big night, food delivery - Lupin is so fat?

Blind student, there's a spot here!

However, Sirius's freehand expression suddenly became nervous, and he made quick expressions at Lupin, lip syncing one by one.

"Lupin—go out and deal with it, it's still the same, just say I'm not there. ”

The great gossip soul has awakened - a flame called curiosity has suddenly burst into flames!

It's too much information, I want to wake up!
