Chapter 32: Ambition is good

"What? You refused?"

Link asked, puzzled.

He really didn't understand Lupin now.

In his opinion, Lupin's current state of life in exile and poverty did not qualify for rejection at all.

You must know that Link can give him a stable job and a place to live, and Link will not deduct his salary like that Orion.

"As long as you've probably heard from the conversation I had with Orion, I'm going to say that I'm a werewolf. Lupin pointed to himself and said solemnly, "As a werewolf, I transform every night when the moon is full, and when the time comes, I will lose my mind and attack the creatures around me indiscriminately. In addition, the people I injured will also be infected with the werewolf virus, and thus gradually become werewolves. For a dangerous existence like me, do you really feel comfortable letting me be a tutor on your side?"

"I don't think it's a problem, I have full confidence in you. ”

Link said without thinking.

He's not lying, and while werewolves are dangerous, Lupin is different.

Lupin is an extremely disciplined and kind werewolf, and when he transforms in the original books, he would rather lock himself up and get bruised all over his body than go out to vent his bloodthirsty desires.

The fact that the Ministry of Magic has yet to contain him is proof enough that he still maintains his good nature.

So Link was very reassuring about him.

However, although Link had shown sufficient sincerity, Lupin still shook his head when he heard this:

"I thank you so much for the trust you have placed in me, really, kid. It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you inadvertently, and I'm going to ruin you. ”

"But ......"

"No, boy. Lupin interrupted Link, "And even if you don't mind being a werewolf, your mother won't allow me to stay with you." ”

"She didn't know you were a werewolf. ”

"Don't underestimate your mother, I've heard of Mrs. Foley's name. I'm willing to bet she'll find out who I am by tonight at the latest, and she won't let you come here next time because of the bad record of hiring werewolves. ”

Lupin said categorically, leaving Link speechless.

In fact, at this point, he didn't have much intention of continuing to pester Lupin.

After all, the other party is unwilling, and he is not good at forcing it.

It's just that the future research on "The Magic of Language" may be coming to an end.

Thinking like this, Link's expression was a little downcast.

Seeing this, Lupin also smiled slightly, and he took out the thick book he had used as a lesson plan from his weather-beaten briefcase, stuffed it into Link's arms, and said:

"Don't be sad, kid, come, take it. This book "The Magic of Language" is the one I used when I was a student at Hogwarts, and it has a lot of notes I made, I hope it will make you happy. ”

"Yes? Thank you. ”

Link looked at the book "The Magic of Language" with some surprise, and saw that it was indeed covered with a large number of scribbled notes.

For a moment, Link felt that his mood was much better.

"Come on, kid, I've got to go. That guy isn't going to just let me leave with the money, I'm sure he's already trying to contact the Ministry of Magic. ”

With that, Lupin reached out and stroked Link's hair, turned around and ran towards the exit without looking back.

Link didn't mean to stop him, just looked at the other party's back and said goodbye, and then turned his attention to the "Magic of Language" in his hand.

Overall, today's harvest was not bad.

Although he didn't succeed in recruiting Lupin, he was very satisfied with getting such an 'old book' Link.

With this in mind, Link walked towards the classroom with his book in his arms, he couldn't wait to go back now.

However, he had barely walked out when he ran into Filch, who was holding a worn-out cloth bag with large patches, which seemed to contain a lot of bits and pieces of metal, and the sound of 'bang, bang, bang!' was still coming out of Filch's movements.

"Link, have you seen Mr. Orionto?"

Before Link could speak, Filch couldn't wait.

And looking at his anxious appearance and the big bag in his hand, Link instantly understood the other party's intentions.

Out of humanitarianism, he shook his head and persuaded:

"Mr. Filch, I don't recommend that you buy a quick mantra class. Honestly, it's a waste of time and money, and it doesn't help you at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, Filch was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became gloomy.

"You already know, don't you?"

"Know what?"

"Know I'm a Squib!"

Filch raised his voice abruptly, but Link didn't speak, he just stared at the other man with a blank face.

But Filch apparently took this as a tacit acquiescence, and now he glared at Link like a wounded beast with those red eyes, and roared:

"I don't care what you think, anyway, I think Professor Andrew is very good! It will help me a lot! You can't stop me from signing up, Link! As for the fact that I'm a squib, you can pass it on if you want to! I'm not afraid of you!"

With that, Filch quickly disappeared from Link's field of vision with a bag full of gold gallons.

This made Link shake his head a little speechlessly.

To be honest, Link really thinks Filch is a bit of a cover-up.

He is a squib, and it is estimated that all the senior students in the entire Hogwarts should know about it, after all, how can a wizard clean the corridor with a mop himself?

Everyone just didn't mention it for his pitiful sake.

However, Link can actually understand what Filch is doing now.

Filch and so many Squibs here really don't know that they can't get spellcasting abilities through this so-called quick spell chanting class?

I'm afraid not.

As Squibs, who have always been at the bottom of the wizarding society and have been discriminated against, they may not be pursuing knowledge when they come here to take classes, but hope, encouragement, and companionship.

This is the same as some old men and women who have been deceived into buying health care products that Link has seen in his previous life.

How many of them can actually be deceived?

Many of them are not buying health products at all, but the services of those who sell them.

Think about it, for just a few thousand or a few hundred dollars, those good-looking and good-talking salespeople will treat you as if you were their real grandparents, and you can still spend time with your peers when you get together for activities, so why not?

With this in mind, Link went straight back to the classroom and packed up his things.

Since Filch insisted on using most of his life savings to pursue this ethereal solace, Link naturally would not stop it.

Because if he stops it, maybe the two of them will become enemies.
