Chapter 19

In the summer, the Lupin house is a treasure trove of mysteries. Although the house was a simple wooden house, it had a nice wooded side and a hillside thirty miles away from their neighbors.

Remus is safe here, and he doesn't have to worry about running out and hurting people when he turns into a werewolf. And when he was a child and had no friends to play with, the woods gave him all the joy he wanted. This summer, two friends came to share it all with him.

Sirius and James don't know if they've ever had sex like this. They fished in the creek between the woods, and since they couldn't use their wands outside of school, they used Muggle nets, which also contained small transparent shrimp and tadpoles.

They can also climb trees and collect all the bugs they can find to make specimens.

Mr. Lupin took them on a fox and rabbit hunt, as he had promised, and they also found squirrels and various birds, some of which they needed to flip through to know their names.

In the evening, the three of them lived in a tent, even though the Lupin house was not far away, but it was very interesting to sleep in the tent, and they could talk until Mrs. Lupin came out to see if they were sleeping properly.

They also rode broomsticks, which were far from Muggle villages, where they could rise high into the sky to play Quidditch and throw each other to find hazelnuts from the woods. James flew on his broomstick to a bird's nest among the branches, where three newly hatched birds were chirping, and five minutes later his friends found him, and he claimed that he had learned the language of birds, and ten minutes later the mother bird came back and chased him and pecked him for an hour.

And they didn't drop their summer homework. After dinner, Mrs. Lupin would watch them do their homework. Sirius and James had just learned that Mrs. Lupin was a Ravenclaw, and even when she graduated, she had a large bookcase where she could find all the books they hadn't read.

Everything was so full and happy that they forgot until the day before the full moon that they were going to be separated.

Little Professor Riddle came to pick them up on time, and it was like telling them that the vacation was coming to an end. Sirius and James wailed.

"Nope! We didn't want to leave! Sirius regretted promising his parents to come home at the full moon.

"We can stay! Maybe Mr. Lupin will need us to keep Remus at his fingertips? "James gave them a good reason to stay.

Red watched the two boys make a point, and he decided to give them ten minutes to recognize reality. He sat down, and Madame Lupin brought him a cup of tea.

"Boys." He picked up his tea, "You have ten minutes to say goodbye." Then he turned to Madame Lupin and said, "These muffins are so delicious!" ”

"Thank you." Mrs. Lupin said, pushing the biscuit plate towards him, "You can try the jam again, I'll make it myself." ”

The three boys ran back to Remus's room, and they had to come up with a good way to stay in ten minutes, such as suddenly becoming ill and unable to move?

Remus watched his friends talk about it, including running into the woods while the adults weren't looking, and James was sure he saw a beehive in the woods.

"We can let the bees sting us! So we can stay! We can pass out! ”

It takes really brave people to implement this method.

Sirius thought about it for a minute and said like a true warrior, "Good! Let's do it! "If we can stay here until tonight, we'll be able to convince them that they don't have to take us away even if it's a full moon!" he affirmed. ”

That looks like a good idea. But Remus couldn't let his friends run to the hive, just to stay, and it was too dangerous for them to stay. He couldn't risk his friends seeing him a monster again, that would really ruin their friendship. God knows how grateful Merlin was when Sirius and James came back to him.

"Nope." He said he refused to allow his friends to stay.

Sirius and James turned their heads to look at him, and they gathered around their friend, "Remus, we want to be with you." ”

"I know." Remus lowered his head, he was afraid that he would be persuaded by them, so he spoke very quickly: "I'll be fine." I mean, my dad will protect me, and he will make sure that I don't hurt anyone. ”

He glanced at his friends: "He's an Animagus, he can turn into a brown bear." It was huge, and he could easily get the werewolf to lie down with just a slap. "Then his dad will calm him down and won't let him turn into a werewolf and run out and hurt people.

"Wow." His friends exclaimed in admiration.

"That's pretty cool." Sirius said.

"It's amazing. How did he do it? James asked.

"When I was a kid, I wasn't too old when I became a werewolf, and they could lock me up in the house." Remus recalls that his father and mother had told him that he couldn't remember what he had done since he became a werewolf.

"But when I grew up, it wasn't easy. I can easily jump out of a window or break down a door. Even the spell can't stop me, werewolves are powerful. "During that time, every time the full moon ended, his father and mother were covered in wounds.

"Later, they came up with a way to lock me up, or say they didn't let me hurt anyone." In fact, Dad would rather hurt himself than hurt him, even when he was a werewolf.

"So Dad came up with this idea, and he thought that if he could become a strong animal, at least he could control me. Moreover, werewolves are only aggressive when facing people, and if it is an animal, it will not want to bite. "Remus ended the story very well, and Professor Riddle Jr. said ten minutes was up.

"He studied Animagus with his mom and he succeeded, while mom didn't. He said that it was fortunate that he was a brown bear in the form of Animagus, which meant that he had enough strength to face me. ”

He finished, then looked at his friends.

Sirius and James looked like they had an idea, and they thought quietly.

Professor Riddle Jr. waited for them for fifteen minutes, and when he came to him, Sirius and James easily agreed to leave.

"We'll be back after the full moon, Remus." Sirius hugged his friend.

James shook hands with Mr. Lupin: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, sir." ”

"You're welcome back." Mr. Lupin was very fond of these two little guests, and they made Remus very happy.

Professor Riddle Jr. took them to say goodbye to the Lupins and left. When they returned to London, Sirius and James undoubtedly didn't want to go home so early, and they suggested that they could go somewhere else first.

"Where do you want to go?" Professor Riddle Jr. asked curiously.

The two of them thought that Professor Riddle Jr. was not an 'adult' in the usual sense of the word, and would have no problem telling him.

"We want to go to Diagon Alley, Professor." Sirius said.

"We want to go to the Blotted bookstore." James says he's serious: "We think we need to be more knowledgeable. ”

Professor Riddle Jr. gave a very funny smile, as if he knew exactly what they were trying to do, and he wasn't going to stop it.

"So, for the sake of more knowledge." He said, and then took them to the Blotted bookstore.

Sirius and James had never shown such enthusiasm for the bookstore, and as soon as they entered, they ran to the left and right sides of the bookstore, and then swept the entire Blotted Bookstore.

Red looked through the books they were going to buy at the counter, including "Fantastic Creatures Quest", "Dangerous Creatures", "You Should Know Magical Creatures, They're Not Far Away", "Dangerous Transfiguration", "Wizard Transfiguration", "Change Yourself", and many more.

Each of them took a dozen copies, and after checking out they left the bookstore. Red leaned in close to them and said, "Looks like you have a plan. I have to say, at this time of the trial, you need to have adults watching to avoid problems. ”

Sirius and James hugged their books, "No, Professor, we don't really have any plans. ”

"Yes, Professor." Neither dared to look at their professor.

"Okay." Rhett said unintentionally, "If you change your mind, you can come to me." I thought I could give you some guidance. Of course, you know I'm a Potions professor, so maybe you can tell your parents that you have some problems with Potions. ”

Since they wanted to do something, instead of letting them do it themselves, he would come and watch them. Rhett thought, this is probably what the old wizard Dumbledore wanted him to do.

And he was also curious, the two boys had fared much better this year than they had done in the previous four years.

Sirius and James couldn't believe what they were trying to say when they looked at their professor.

They returned to their respective homes, and after dealing with their parents' nagging, they quickly hid in the bedroom and took out a double-sided mirror to communicate.

"Do you think that's what the professor meant?" James said.

"I think so. So, I'm going to go to my Potions class tomorrow. Sirius had found his potions textbook.

"Oh, I'm going too!" James shouted as he went through his bag, and he said, "You know, I think Slytherin still has merit. They're really nice guys. ”
