Chapter 152: Retention

"Crunch, crunch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "The old wooden door made such a sound with the gentle push of the outsider, and then opened.

Lupin paused in the doorway for a moment, stunned, and took in the scene in the room, as if it would always be remembered in this way, before finally pushing the door open completely.

He still has some nostalgia for this place, and his teaching career began here and ends here.

This is the office of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and he will soon be leaving here, and he will no longer be a Hogwarts teacher.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione?" said Lupin with a relieved smile as he looked at the three students standing next to his desk, whispering their names.

"Hermione already knew I was a werewolf, aren't you two afraid of me?" Lupin asked with a smile, of course, this was a knowingly question, and at this time he already had the answer in his heart, which made him feel a little better.

"Of course, Professor Lupin, we've always felt that you're the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and that has nothing to do with your status as a werewolf. Harry and Ron said in unison.

"I remember the cult of personality last year when Lockhart went crazy, saying that he was the best teacher, and wishing he would teach Snape another hard lesson. Hermione couldn't help but stab Ron.

"Neither Harry nor I blame you for not telling us this secret!" Ron's face flushed slightly, but he retorted as best he could, "At least I've changed my mind now, and I think Professor Lupin taught the best, okay?"

"Okay, you don't have to argue anymore, I told Hermione to keep it a secret. Lupin said to them with a smile, looking at these students bickering, he seemed to see that when he was young, the depression in his chest disappeared a little.

"I'm glad you can see me off, but it's class time, so you'd better get back to the classroom as soon as possible." Lupin stretched out his hand, rubbed each of the three people's hair, and whispered.

"No, we're not going to let you go! we're going to let you stay, you see, Professor Lupin. Hermione hurriedly took out a piece of parchment from her bosom and handed it to Lupin, which was filled with all kinds of handwriting, some neat and dignified, some like snakes, some in ordinary black ink, and some in red ink as bright as blood, in short, strange and all-encompassing, it can be seen that most of the handwriting is a little messy, and it is obvious that the signatories are in a bit hasty and excited.

This is a joint signed book, and at the top is a statement of the intent of the signed book.

The students wanted to keep him.

"Professor Lupin, this is what we just won just now, and most of the students have signed it. Hermione said in a brisk tone, looking pleased, "So you don't have to quit, Professor." Hermione's eyes couldn't help but sparkle with joy as she said this.

"Yes, we don't care if you're a werewolf or not, we just know that you're a good teacher. Harry said with a determined gaze.

"Yes, yes, yes. Ron chimed in, "If you're gone, we won't know who's going to teach us, can you bear to see us being taught by that old bat? Ron chimed in.

"Thank you. Lupin's smile froze suddenly, and then he spit out these words with difficulty, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes kept shaking, revealing his inner fluctuations at this time, betraying his emotions.

Then Lupin took the parchment and stroked it with his rough hand, his eyes fixed on the sincere signatures on it.

"But I still had to resign. Lupin shook his head, then handed the parchment back to Hermione.

"Professor Lupin, this piece of paper represents our wishes! We don't mind who you are at all. Hermione said in a panic, not knowing why Lupin refused.

"Someone will always mind, the owl of the student's parents will be here soon, maybe tomorrow. Lupin sighed softly, and then he walked over to his desk and began to tidy up his bags, he pulled out a suitcase from the corner of the table, recited a random incantation, and then some of the books on the shelves jumped down as if they had long legs, and got into the trunk, where they should be.

The box ended up not filling.

He is still very poor, and the amount of things he brings will only decrease when he leaves, and the clothes he wears now are only sponsored by the school.

"I'm glad you have this heart. Lupin was cleaning up the bookshelves and desks he had used, and since he was going to resign, he had to clean up at the last moment he left his post.

"But in this life, you always have to face a lot of partings, and I hope this is what you can experience. Lupin continued.

"Also, I've heard that there is a curse on this position, and that none of my previous teachers are said to have been able to retire unscathed, so it seems like I'm lucky?" Lupin suddenly smiled at the three Harry as if he had thought of something, and teased himself.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione just looked at him so quietly, speechless, the current situation was that Lupin, who was about to leave, was relieved, and they had lost a respectable teacher, and they were in need of comfort.

"Well, you don't have to mind. After Lupin had finished his belongings, he stepped between Harry and Ron, bent his waist, put his left and right hands on their shoulders, and said, "Maybe we will meet again someday, and in another capacity." ā€

Lupin looked at them with an eyebrow.

Harry and Ron could only nod silently.

"One day, unfair discrimination will be eliminated, and I will definitely do my best. Hermione clenched her fists and swore an oath, her eyes sparkling.

"Then I'm looking forward to that day, and I believe in your abilities, Hermione. Lupin's eyes lit up, too.

"Knock knock. Just when the four teachers and students looked at each other speechlessly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Maybe your teacher came to you. Lupin stared at the three of them and said in a clear tone, "I'll send him away, and you can go back to class for me obediently, okay?"

The three Harry could only nod in obedience, and then watched as Lupin went to open the door.

Soon, the door opened, but it wasn't the teacher behind it.

A tall figure stumbled straight into the house.

caused everyone present to look at each other.
