021 End of Semester - Wow~

The rest was too simple, Fred and George borrowed a time turner from Hermione, and Hermione was very upset about it.

"Again, you must not be seen—" Hermione followed the twins, insisting on it,

"Yes, yes," Fred said, "we know a place where absolutely no one knows."

"And it's absolutely secret," George said, "remember the little things we made in third grade that 'bumper'?"

"Oh—" Hermione still looked uneasy, and the group reached the staircase on the seventh floor,

"Alright, we'll just wait here," Lawrence said, and Ron and Hermione could only stop, "I think at your current level, just a spin is enough."

"Understood—" George said, and he and Fred walked to the eighth floor, until their voices died down completely, and Lawrence led Ron and Hermione further upstairs,

"I guess you have a really safe place, right?" Hermione asked,

"Don't worry." Lawrence said perfunctorily,

"How many other amazing places do you know?" Ron asked enviously,

"I gave the map to Harry," Lawrence blinked, "now it's up to you to find some special places for yourselves."

"Hey—you're a prefect!" Hermione emphasized, "How can you lure a student into breaking school rules?"

"I mean it's okay to wander around the castle on free weekends," Lawrence laughs, "though we all know that sometimes, it's a waste of time to sleep."

"Hah—" Ron laughed, he obviously liked it, and they made it to the eighth floor, where the twins came up from around the corner, both with a basket full of biscuits,

"I want everything going well." Fred said excitedly,

"The next step is to find the students who are willing to come." George said,

"We don't have much time, so we don't have to try to convince those who discriminate against werewolves." Lawrence said, "Split up, and see you at the castle gate in ten minutes."

The twins said they were going to the lawn, most of the students were used to basking in the sun on the lawn before the end of the semester, Ron and Hermione were going back to Gryffindor Tower, they wanted to find all the Gryffindor students who didn't go out, and Lawrence was hanging out in the school to see if they could get the lonely people to participate in the event.

The castle was empty, there were no people, it seemed that most of the people had taken advantage of the last time to go outside to bask in the sun, Lawrence walked around the corner, and saw a petite figure nailing something to the wall,

"Luna?" Lawrence said,

"Hey." Luna said,

"Why didn't you go outside in the sun?" Lawrence asked,

"I've got a lot of things missing." Luna replied, "Some people always hide my things, but at the end of the semester, I have to get them all back."

"Need help?" Lawrence asked,

"Are you trying to chase me?" Luna asked rhetorically,

"Ahem—what are you talking about?" Lawrence choked on his own saliva, he didn't understand how Luna came to this conclusion.

"Fred told me to George," Luna tilted her head, as if a little confused, "they said that if a boy offered to help a girl, it meant to chase her."

"What the hell did those two bastards teach you?" Lawrence asked through gritted teeth,

"They also said that if someone does something inexplicable, they suggest that I just give that person a curse." "Harassing behavior like touching your head and combing your hair," Luna said.

"The next time they teach you this kind of nonsense, I'd suggest you just give them a curse." Lawrence said that he began to silently figure out how to settle accounts with the two men.

"But I think the two of them seem to have a point?" Luna asked, "Then why didn't you go out in the sun?"

"Because of Professor Lupin......" Lawrence gave a general explanation of the matter, and Luna tucked the stack of lost notices into her bag, turned and walked briskly towards the stairs,

"Hey—what's wrong?" Lawrence yelled,

"Go to the school gate." Luna replied, her expression like Lawrence had asked a strange question, "It's almost past your meeting time."

"Aren't you going to look for your things?" Lawrence asked, and they started trotting,

"It's okay, right?" Luna smiled, "They'll always come back."

When Lawrence and Luna arrived at the gate of the castle, Fred and George were handing out cookies, and in addition to standing at the school gate, there were many more people who heard the news and rushed to watch.

"Just like we showed just now," said George, "and when Professor Lupin comes, if you get a biscuit, you will eat it—"

"What are you going to do if you don't eat?" Cedric. Diggory asked aloud with a biscuit in his hand, and there was a girl standing next to him, which Lawrence recognized as the Ravenclaw Seeker, Zhang Qiu, (Note 1)

"That's the most important thing—" George said in a deliberately hazy, dreamy tone, "hug the shapeshifter next to you."

"If it's a couple, I'd suggest you go a step further and show how much affection you have," Fred said, deliberately teasing Cedric, and there was a good-natured laugh, "It's not hard to imagine why Hufflepuff lost to Ravenclaw—"

"But please be careful when kissing, although our products do not simulate teeth, they will have long hairy mouths." George blinked,

"The boys who are still hesitating—" Fred shouted to the first-graders who were passing the biscuits around, "show off the boyish spirit—"

"Lawrence—" George tossed a cookie, Lawrence caught it, and Luna looked at the cookie with interest.

"Come on, come on—" The crowd of onlookers made way for a passage,

"What are you doing?" Professor Lupin was carrying his old wooden box, and he looked surprised at the large group of students,

"Eat it, everybody—" Fred shouted, and he and George both swallowed the biscuits in their hands, and the man with the biscuit in his hands ate them, and Lawrence swallowed the biscuits, and he felt his face itch, and his mouth grew longer, and he looked down at his hands, which turned into furry claws,

"Woo-" Fred suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted, Lawrence laughed, and soon, a group of big wolves in Hogwarts uniforms shouted together, "Woo-"

The students who did not change their appearance laughed and hugged the students who had become wolves next to them, they were playing, and after more than ten seconds, everyone changed back to their original state, and the students surrounded Professor Lupin,

"I'm glad," Remus's eyes twinkled, "that means you o.w.L have at least one question right, right?"

"Of course, Professor." Fred said briskly, "The nose is a little shorter, the pupils are smaller, and the tail is tufted rather than hairy."

"You still have one less to write." Remus smiled, and he gave a look of nostalgia, "His name is Remus. Lupin."

"Do you have to go, Professor?" Amid the laughter of the crowd, Cedric. Diggory asked aloud,

"Yes, Diggory." Remus smiled, "It's a great experience to be able to teach, and how lucky I am to be a professor for a full semester."

"Then stay on." Lawrence said, "We don't care if you're a werewolf or not."

Lawrence's words echoed a crowd, and Remus smiled as he waited for the commotion to calm down,

"I'm really honored and proud to teach you," Remus said, "and I hope you'll pass on this idea, and maybe one day in the future, werewolves will finally be free from all kinds of discrimination, and I look forward to that day."

"Then, you just spare me—" Remus laughed, he joked, "I've heard that it's hard for someone in this position to get out of the way, right?" I was able to leave on all fours, and Merlin must have blessed me."

Remus got into the carriage and left, before leaving, he called Lawrence to the carriage, they talked about something, and after that, at the end of the semester dinner, Lawrence seemed absent-minded, even to celebrate Gryffindor winning the House Cup again, Fred and George teamed up to press Lawrence's head into the cream cake, Lawrence did not fight back,

The next day on the Hogwarts Express, a group of them occupied a large box, eating snacks and discussing the busy year, Lawrence still looked out the window,

"Hey—hey—Lawrence—" George shouted, startling Lawrence,

"We've been calling you for a long time." Fred said, "Hermione just mentioned that she had returned the time turner."

"Because I'm so tired," Hermione sighed, "I think I'm going to go crazy if I go on like this—"

"But it works so well." Ron said,

"I'm curious, why do you know Hermione had such a thing?" George asked,

"You don't care about your family," Lawrence said, "I think both Bill and Percy used this kind of thing." (Note 2)

"What?" Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny shouted together,

"Percy and Bill's o.w.L have passed the twelve, right?" Lawrence said, "I thought it was obvious?"

"We didn't expect that—" The twins were annoyed when they found Lawrence looking out the window in a daze again, and the twins looked at each other,

"What the hell is wrong with you?" George couldn't help but ask, everyone looked at Lawrence in a trance, and even Luna put down the "Singing and Singing" in her hand,

"Nothing," said Lawrence, "Professor Lupin told me that a few months before he became a professor, he accidentally discovered that my parents lived in London."

"Is your 'nothing' bar so high?" Fred asked,

"I suppose so?" Lawrence frowned, he tried to wave his wand, and a box of chocolate frogs flew in front of him accurately, "I think my partner thinks so."

"Professor Lupin—why do you know—?" Hermione asked with a stammer,

"Actually, on my third birthday, I accidentally cast a spell and was detected," Lawrence said briefly, "The Ministry of Magic has leaked the word that a large number of Death Eaters are attacking my house, and Professor Lupin was the first wizard to come to fight the Death Eaters, and finally Dunbulido has arrived."

"So you were orphaned then—oh, Hermione—" Ron exclaimed, and was stamped hard by Hermione,

"yes, I think they abandoned me." Lawrence shrugged,

"It's hard to imagine the Bydsleys but—" Harry said, "Well, I'm sorry, Lawrence."

"Maybe they—" Hermione wanted to say something, but couldn't,

"Do you want to say they might have a hard time? Hermione, there is not so much suffering in the world, the Ministry of Magic erased the memory of that battle," Lawrence said lightly, "but it did not erase the memory of my magic, most Muggle-born wizards, their parents would accept their special children, but my condition is obviously one of the minority."

"That's why you don't want to use a time turner?" Hermione noticed that Lawrence's attitude was exactly the same as the night before,

"Twelve years and seven months." Lawrence said, "I'm afraid I'll not be able to help it, and if I want to grab the converter, you can't stop it, right?" (Note 3)

"You wouldn't do that—" Harry said,

"Thank you for having so much faith in me," Lawrence smiled, "It's okay, it's okay to talk about it and make me feel better—"

"Would you like to see them?" Luna asked suddenly,

"I don't know." Lawrence replied, Luna lowered her head and looked at the "Singing Contrarian" in her hand,

There was silence in the carriage, and suddenly, the window was hit by something, and a gray shadow struggled to follow the train, and appeared and disappeared outside the window, and the gray figure swooped into the carriage, it was an owl, and he carried a letter that was too big for him,

"Hey—it's Sirius's letter." Harry took the letter and said happily, Ron and Hermione surrounded him,

"Hey, be happy, man." George bumped Lawrence with his elbow, "Let's go see the Quidditch World Cup together during the summer vacation?"

"Dad can always get tickets, so you can come directly to our house this summer, right?" Fred asked,

"Mom heard that you stayed in the Leaky Cauldron Bar last year, and you kept nagging about how Professor Dunburido couldn't take care of children in Egypt." George added,

"Huh." Lawrence smiled, and he tore open the box of the chocolate frog, the card on the box, and Dunburydo was winking at him.

Author's Note: The third volume is over, well, let's move on to the fourth volume.

Note 1: I've always thought about it again and again. Zhang is still Zhang Qiu, and in the end, Zhang Qiu is a little more comfortable...

Note 2: This is my guess, since Percy and Bill both passed twelve o.w.L. (all subjects), so I guess they both used them.

Note 3: Lawrence didn't see himself on the map, so he knew at the time that he must have resisted the templar temptation.

Thanks to 3c3orz for the tip.
