Chapter 143: Lupin
The Blair family is one of the oldest pure-bloods, and Kreacher, as their family's elf, is capable of anything, and after Darren gave him the basilisk skin and teeth, he was seen carrying these things into the basement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next morning, Darren opened the door and found three long daggers made of basilisk teeth, or short swords, which were more suitable, because they were a bit oversized, more than twenty centimeters long.
In addition, Kreacher made a scabbard out of hardwood, wrapped in basilisk skin, which is crucial for a weapon made of basilisk teeth, because if you get a little bit of skin, you'll be hurt for the last time in your life.
"Thanks, Kreacher," said Darren to the kitchen at breakfast, thanking the house-elves.
The other party didn't answer, but said, "There are two shorter styles according to the little master's request, Kreacher has not finished it, it will take a little more time, and the skin of those basilisks is too rough, Kreacher needs to repair it a little more, so as to ensure that it is soft and wearable, and retains the original magic." ”
"The rest of ......"
"If there is no accident, when the required things are done, the remaining teeth will be crushed into small pieces and handed over to the little master. ”
"Thank you!"
Because they weren't sure if 12 Grimmauld Place would still be open to them in Blake's absence, Darren and Harry had never dared to go out, in fact, Darren didn't care, anyway, he wasn't short of money now, he could go to the Leaky Cauldron to live, but it didn't seem interesting to leave Harry here alone, although this guy used to leave himself alone in the medical wing for Christmas.
Thankfully, Blake returned a few days later, but neither Dumbledore nor Regulus were gone, and with him was a middle-aged man.
"Professor Dumbledore asked me to leave Regulus at Hogwarts where I could better study how to solve his problems. Also, this is my good friend, we've known each other since we were at Hogwarts, come and meet him, especially you, Harry," Blackkra said to Harry and Darren as he spoke, "Remus John Lupin, I think you should all know his other name, 'Moonface'." ”
At this time, Darren took a serious look at the man, the "Marauder" quartet and one of the makers of the "Living Point Map", "Moon Face", Remus John Lupin.
The man was wearing an extremely shabby wizard's robe, patched in several places, carrying a small box in his hand, his face was full of exhaustion, and he seemed to be sick, and his light brown hair was mixed with gray hair, so Darren would think he was a middle-aged man at first, but after closer inspection, he found that the other party was not as old as he seemed at first glance.
"Hello, Harry, Shaun," Lupin said in a quiet voice, different from Dumbledore's calm and relaxed.
"Hello. ”
"Hello, please call me Darren. ”
Hearing this, Lupin smiled at Darren, "Okay, Darren. ”
"Alright, don't stand, let's go in and sit and talk, Kreacher, we've got guests coming, we need to be entertained!"
"Yes, young master. ”
Lupin was visibly taken aback as he meekly took the suitcase from his hand, "He's the house-elf you told you about before? ”
"Yes, I didn't expect many things, well, Professor Dumbledore will tell you later," Blake said with the same emotion, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, we must have a few more drinks today, where have you been all these years, since I came out of Azkaban, I can't find you, if it weren't for Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you." ”
Lupin smiled at Blake's question, but Darren could see that there was a hint of bitterness in it, and it could be seen from his clothes alone that he had had a bad time over the years, after all, he was a werewolf.
At the reception to welcome Lupin, Darren couldn't imagine that Blake and Lupin would be good friends, because their personalities were so bad, if Blake was like a burning flame, then Lupin was like a pool of calm water, and throughout the dinner table, Darren and Harry could only hear Blake telling anecdotes about his school days.
Of course, Blake didn't tell the secret of Lupin's identity, and in order to avoid irritating Harry, he and Lupin subconsciously avoided the other two members of their small gang, so there was nothing about their secrets in the past, it was all stories about midnight wanderings, secret passages on campus, and so on.
However, perhaps because he had drunk too much, Blake inadvertently revealed that Lupin was about to become a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, which made Harry very happy, presumably thinking that it would be more convenient to have more acquaintances at school, but he made Snape afraid of bullying.
"Professor Dumbledore approached me, and he said that Hogwarts lacked a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and wanted me to attend, so I agreed. ”
"Remus, you'll be a good teacher, cheers for your success at Hogwarts!"
"Cheers!" Harry and Darren raised their glasses as well, but it was juice in it, and if there was anything that made Darren feel a little unhappy about this meal, it was this, when would he be able to drink!
The day after Blake returned, he took Lupin, Harry, and Darren to Diagon Alley, and with him there, the others didn't have to bring any money at all, and he yelled that Lupin needed to buy some new clothes, Harry needed to buy books and items for the new semester, and Darren needed to follow, unless he planned to stay at Blake's house by himself.
With Blake, Darren has seen what a trench is, maybe to make up for Harry, to prepare him for the new semester, then enter the door without asking the price, take what you like, more powerful than a shopaholic, because the average person only has two hands, he uses his wand to flutter behind him and hold a lot, I really don't know how rich the Black family is......
This is still the result of Harry and Lupin's efforts to stop it, Darren really can't think of how Snape would laugh at him if Harry took out a pure gold cauldron in Potions class, although he had been moved back then, but at that time he hadn't seen Snape was not, and Lupin also thought that it was not good for Harry's study, and it could be seen that Black still attached great importance to Lupin's opinion.
