Chapter 11

After the summer break, Red finally had time to visit the three Gryffindors. If it weren't for his mother, he could have talked to the parents of the three students, and the matter would have ended.

But his mother had always feared that he would become like his father. For this, he was willing to do something to reassure her.

He went to Potter's house first. Potter's parents were both wizards, and the family was still very prominent many years ago, but there is no way, any prominent family will have some unworthy descendants. The current Potter family has long since lost the momentum of its ancestors.

The Potter family was in the middle of the Muggle house, and Rhett's former professor Sgollahhorn once said, "Those Muggles, they are like rats." You can't believe they can reproduce so much, so much. ”

In the eyes of many wizards, Muggles are incomprehensible creatures, have no magical powers, and seem so weak, but why are there so many children?

For example, when Rhett came to visit as a professor James Porter, he talked to the parents. Mr. Potter spat that when his grandfather lived here, there were only a few Muggles nearby, but now he has arrived.

"Muggles everywhere!"

Mr. Potter is a typical Gryffindor, but he is also a pure-blood wizard, including his father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather. Although he was not as repulsive as Slytherin, he did not like Muggles, not to mention that his house was now surrounded by Muggle houses.

Muggles build houses that are clean and beautiful, and very tall. A ten-story building directly across from the Potter house blocked out all the sunlight, and Mr. Potter used to be very fond of reading and drinking tea under the windowsill of his study, but he hadn't enjoyed it for a long time.

After sharing a glass of gin with Mr. Potter, Red admired a few of the Potter family's knick-knacks before leaving to visit his students.

After returning from Hogwarts, James Potter was locked up in his bedroom. Mr. Potter was furious and smuggled the cloak to school. As a Gryffindor, Mr. Potter was not very good at keeping important things, and if he hadn't been informed by the school, he probably would never have found out that the invisibility cloak in his study had been taken by his son. If there is any very precious family heirloom in the current Potter family, it is probably only that invisibility cloak.

Unfortunately, the invisibility cloak has been torn to shreds by the werewolf and can never be recovered.

So Mr. Angry Potter quickly found an effective way to punish his son, and that was to keep him from going out! All summer vacation! He didn't want to leave his bedroom! Not to mention riding his broomstick to the sky for a spin.

It was really painful for James Potter, so it was so happy to see Professor Riddle Jr. after being locked up in his bedroom for a month.

"Professor!" Mr. James Porter was lying dead on his bed before Red pushed the door, but when he saw him, he jumped to his feet.

"Professor! I'm so happy! Come on in! Want to drink tea? "James Porter has a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, and Professor Riddle Jr. is undoubtedly the right person to come in time, and he's the right man. After all, he couldn't expect Professor McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor, to tell him some secrets about his friend.

"Is Sirius okay? I haven't seen him since I left the medical wing, is he okay? James later remembered that it was in front of him that his four-year friend Remus Lupin had a magical riot, and his sudden increase in strength and sudden change in body made him scare his legs. Remus's clothes were torn after he suddenly turned into a monster, and he couldn't understand them calling his name, so he lunged at them.

'O Merlin! He's a werewolf!! When he heard Sirius shout this, he fainted, probably because Remus had grabbed him and thrown him against the wall.

They all survived, but when he got home, his head was in disarray. When he saw Professor Riddle Jr., he immediately asked about his friend, wondering how he was doing.

"He's fine." Red said that while he hadn't been to Black's house yet, there was no doubt that Sirius shouldn't have any problems. "James, I hope you haven't been hurt too much by this."

James laughed dryly twice and lowered his head, his chest was like a ball of cotton, but his head was like a hundred magic fireworks, about to explode.

"Professor." He jerked his head up, "Remus, he'......" He didn't know how to ask.

Red seemed to be able to see what he was trying to say, "Mr. Lupin is fine, although it happened, but he is not irreversibly harmed. James was still looking at him expectantly, "But I can't reveal much about his ......." James, why don't you write him a letter? You're friends. ”

The word 'friend' sounds a bit harsh right now. James's face is not very good, he and Remus are of course friends, but a werewolf? It's like having him play Quidditch with a ghoul.

- But that werewolf is Remus.

James held his head and grabbed his hopeless hair, Remus, how could that Remus be a werewolf? It's as if someone told him that Merlin was actually a Muggle. If someone had told him that before the full moon that day, he would have thought that person had a strong confusion charm and could have taken Slytherin as a strong confusion charm as a Gryffindor. But now he didn't know what to do.

Red looked at the worried boy, he was still young and had not experienced any setbacks, and the Gryffindor personality also made him not put his heart in his stomach for the night, this was probably the first time in his life that he didn't know what to do for a person or a thing in so long. But he wasn't worried, Gryffindor didn't lack courage, and they didn't like to be a coward, if it was a Slytherin, they might think about it, but Gryffindor would only do whatever he wanted.

As soon as he saw that werewolf cub again, he would immediately pounce on him and shout, 'We are friends.'"

And if he mustered up the courage to return to Hogwarts and found that his friends were gone, it would be wonderful.

Thinking of this, Red began to look forward to the end of the summer vacation.

But now, there is one more thing to do. He patted the worried boy on the shoulder: "James, I think you're going to have some little trouble?" ”

James was startled, thinking that Professor Riddle Jr. had just seen him inside. "Professor, you mean ......"

"Miss Evans." Red said with a smile, and then immediately relaxed when he saw the boy in front of him.

"Oh, hahaha." James was embarrassed to scratch him by the hair again. "I like her, even if she's a Muggle wizard, but, I mean, it doesn't matter, my family and I don't care."

Red said, "I'm assuming you're serious? Do you want to marry her? ”

"Yes." Gryffindor is never afraid to admit his love.

"But, I can see that you're not going very well?" Red said lightly, he thought he was very polite, in fact the girl hated Potter very much, he could understand it, he had never seen such a clumsy way of pursuit, to be honest, according to James Potter's methods, probably he could only chase trolls as his wife, it seemed that he had more in common with trolls with big sticks.

"That's all because of that snot ......!!" Fortunately, James later remembered that it was Dean Slytherin sitting in front of him, and he heard that the snot spirit joined Professor Riddle Jr.'s tea party last year, and there were four houses that could enter that tea party, but Professor Riddle Jr. did not invite him and Sirius, he thought it was because of his poor exam results, although he was very good at Quidditch, but the Potter family probably would not accept a Quidditch player son, and based on his grades alone, it was difficult for him to say that he would have a good future after graduating from the seventh grade.

Red saw James Potter scratch at his hair for the third time in ten minutes, no wonder his hair was always so messy.

Just as James Potter seemed to realize that he was not as good as the snot, Professor Riddle Jr. said to him, "Actually, maybe I can give you some advice?" Then he saw Professor Riddle Jr. wink at him like Headmaster Dumbledore.

"Professor! Do you have any good ideas? James said excitedly.

Red laughed a lot of Gryffindor. Next, he discussed with James various secrets of chasing girls. Look, to girls is to do what they like. For example, if she likes small animals, then you can also have a cat or dog or hamster, and go to her for help every day. If she likes to read and learn, then you can find some difficult problems to ask her. In short, find a topic that the girl likes to talk to her, so that she can slowly discover your good side.

James Porter's mind is clear! He found out where he had gone wrong! He's always done things that Evans hates, no wonder she's always been unkind to him.

At Professor Riddle's suggestion, James decided to study hard from next semester so that he could work with Evans every day and prepare for the general wizard level exam. On the other hand, he had to be as friendly as Evans, like a true gentleman. Then she will definitely look at him differently.

"She will be very touched when she finds out that you have changed so much for her." Ridder Packing Ticket. Although he has never pursued girls, he still has some experience in likable methods.

Mom wanted him to be nice to these students, so that's why he's here. Although, in his opinion, it is much better to let them fall hard than to let them have smooth sailing. True growth always starts with falling on your heels again and again, and you may be scared to death by sneezing.

But these little children may not understand the kindness of adults, so why can't he do what they want? After all, they think it's best for them.

And for Mr. Potter, catching Evans is the most important thing at the moment. Red is very confident, look, James Potter is not going to become energetic and energetic?

After coming out of the Potter house, he didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to Black's house.

Compared to the Potter family, the Black family still retains a little bit of ancestral glory. At least their house is still quite big.

The Black family is all Slytherin, and you can imagine how devastating it was when Sirius Black was sorted out in Gryffindor. Red remembers vividly that Sirius Black received the yelling letter the morning after the Sorting House, and that for the next four years, he was clamoring to leave the Black House.

When Red met with the Black family, both sides were a little uncomfortable. When his father, Tom Riddle, was recruiting, he also met with the Black family many times. Whatever the reason for this, Tom Riddle hid in Hogwarts, and two dozen pure-blood wizards were thrown into Azkaban.

In a way, Tom Riddle betrayed the pure-blood wizard trust.

If it weren't for his own strength, or some other secrets in it, it would be impossible for a person with the surname Riddle to step into the Black family. No one could do anything to them when they were Hogwarts, but it was hard to say from the outside.

But before Rhett graduated, he offered an olive branch to the Black and Malfoy families, and also showed his strength. If he wants to be the Minister of Magic, he will naturally have the support of these wizard nobles.

Although Tom Riddle has the support of pure-blood nobles, he also has many enemies, that is, wizards led by Dumbledore, but also the Ministry of Magic and the Wizengamot. It can be said that his road to success is not easy.

Red Riddle had the advantage that the first thing he got was Dumbledore's support, and it could be said that compared to his father, the great enemy no longer existed. In the years following his graduation, he had shown his ingenuity and his skillful influence over the Ministry, and he had proven his ability to deliver on his promises by quietly manipulating the Daily Prophet to move the Ministry.

Compared to Tom Riddle, Red Riddle is clearly blue.

Therefore, the Black family is willing to give Red Riddle a chance, and Red also wants to achieve his own goals through this matter. It had been the Black family who had asked him to help him get Sirius Black out of Gryffindor, and he had done it, but he didn't intend to 'turn their eldest son to change' as the Black couple had expected.

Listen to the Blakes talk about how Sirius Black had come home and how wicked Gryffindor friends were. A werewolf, a thief of his family's treasures to bring to school, they were all bad boys, and how the Blakes wished Sirius would understand that.

But Sirius' reaction is that James and Remus are his good friends, whether it is a werewolf or a rebel who steals the family's treasures, they are all his friends! He didn't care if Remus was a werewolf or a vampire, and he didn't care if James took the family treasure to school and broke it, they were all his friends, and he was just like them! He will never leave his friends!

The more the Blakes wanted Sirius to leave Gryffindor and return to Slytherin and admit his mistake, the more Sirius rebelled.

Until now, he was locked up in his bedroom, and the food was brought in by the elves. And whether it is Mr. Black or Mrs. Black, as long as they go in, the two sides will definitely quarrel.

Mrs. Black was worried, "Professor Riddle, though Sirius hates Slytherin very much, he likes you very much, can't you persuade him?" ”

"He likes me because I never let him do things he doesn't like," Rhett laughs and says. Looking at the sad faces of the Black couple, he suddenly asked:

"Can the Black family accept a Gryffindor patriarch?"

Of course not.

Both the Blakes and their faces were not very good-looking. The entry of the eldest son into Gryffindor was the biggest scandal in the Black family for fifty years.

Red cleared his throat, as if he had just said the wrong thing for a moment, and he changed the subject: "By the way, what about Regulus?" He's a good boy, he's a pure Slytherin, and it's rare that he loves you guys so much, and he loves the Black family. "Rhett certainly likes his own students.

Most of the wizarding nobility is inherited by the eldest son, and the other sons may only receive some inheritance. Although it is not uncommon for the Black family to have sons from other houses to inherit the Black family, Red reminds the Black couple of a problem that neither of them can escape, and that is Sirius Black's hostility towards the family.

Red chatted with Regulus for a while, complimented him in front of the Blacks, and took two seventh-grade spells for him.

"It was perfect." He applauded, "Even if you take the ordinary wizard level exam next year, you won't have any problem." "Regulus is in the third grade and can get this

11. Chapter 11

The praise made the Blakes particularly happy, especially when the eldest son was not successful, and they were impressed by the excellence of the second son.

After saying these two words, Red took his leave. In the eyes of the Blacks, Sirius was born Slytherin, and he just went to Gryffindor for a while, after all, he was their son, and his own children could always be taught well, because he would not leave home.

He can't do too much at once, he has to take his time. It was clear which of a Gryffindor leading the Black family and a Slytherin leading the Black family would be good for him.

After that, he went to Lupin's house.

Remus Lupin's father, John Lupin, was a Gryffindor, passionate and full of a sense of justice. It is said that Remus was bitten by a werewolf because his father had saved the werewolves from attacking the Muggles, and in retaliation, the werewolves had bitten Remus.

Remus was a poor boy, his family was obviously not very wealthy, his parents could not give him a good life, and because of Remus, they had to move frequently, and his father could not find a suitable job, but they loved him very much.

Remus was taught at an early age not to hurt the children he was playing with, and that he had to go home before dark. At the time, it was not known if the werewolf was contagious if it was contagious to bite after becoming a human, and out of caution, his father rarely allowed him to go out and play with other children. Their houses are also always built in sparsely populated areas. So when Red finds Lupin's house, there is not a single neighbor around.

When he knocks on the door and identifies himself, he is invited in by the Lupins, and Red brings some books for Remus, who learns that Remus has been hiding in his room since he returned, refusing to even see his parents.

Red knocked on the door of Remus' bedroom, and it was a long time before he heard it say, "...... No, Mom, I don't want to eat, thanks. ”

Red said, "Remus, open the door, don't you want to see what I brought you?" ”

The room was silent, and then, as if something had suddenly come to life, he heard Remus stumble and open the door.

"Professor!" He looked at him in amazement.

Red was taken aback, and Remus glared at the two extraordinarily large eyes, and then he realized that it was because he had lost weight.

"Won't you let me in?" He smiled.

Remus rushed to let him in. His room was empty, with beds and cupboards against the walls, and the center of the room was empty and empty. He didn't even have a chair in his room.

Rhett didn't bother the boy by asking him to sit down, and he waved his wand to conjure up two chairs and a small table with hot refreshments on it.

"Let's sit down and have a good chat, how are you doing during this time?" Red sat down and said.

Remus looked nervous, he seemed to have a stomach full of things to say. Instead of rushing him, Red poured two cups of tea and handed him one of them.

After two sips of tea, Remus looked a little calmer, and he plucked up the courage to ask, "Professor, are James and Sirius okay?" He hadn't been back to Gryffindor since he left the Chamber of Secrets after the full moon that day, and his parents came to pick him up, and it wasn't until he got home that he learned what had happened. He wanted to see his friends and say sorry to them personally, but he found that maybe it would never be possible.

He didn't expect them to forgive him, he just hoped that nothing irreparable had happened to them. He only had time to call Professor Riddle Jr. for help, but he didn't know if he had bitten them.

"They're good, in fact I only visited them today." Red didn't say much, he couldn't 'forgive' Lupin for Potter or Black, though he knew that the two Gryffindors would forgive their werewolf friends sooner or later. "You can rest assured." He affirmed that he hoped to comfort the boy.

Remus held his teacup and lowered his head, not saying a word. He was happy to go to Hogwarts, four years at the castle was the joy of his life, and he had two friends.

"Thank you, Professor." He said dryly.

He won't be going back to Hogwarts. What happened during the full moon showed him how dangerous he was, and if Professor Riddle Jr. hadn't arrived in time that night, he would have bitten his two friends, and maybe they would have died, or maybe they would have turned into werewolves. And whatever it was, he couldn't make it up.

When he becomes a werewolf, he can't control himself at all, he loses consciousness and becomes a real werewolf.

He was really starting to get scared. From a young age, his father repeatedly taught him that werewolves are dangerous and that he must protect himself and not harm others. And he hasn't hurt people when he turns into a werewolf, so he's careless, he thinks that as long as he's careful, he's safe.

But the events of the full moon told him that accidents could happen at any time. Once the misfortune is caused, it is too late for anything. No matter what he says then, it's useless, he may eat people, he may turn others into werewolves.

He couldn't watch this happen, so the only thing he could do was not to go back to the castle.

"You can write to them. You're friends, and no matter what happens, I'm sure Gryffindor won't abandon them. Red gave him the book and took his leave.

Remus sends Professor Riddle Jr. away. When he returned to his bedroom, he saw that the professor had given him a book, and he thought that maybe it would be a good idea to write a letter. He probably won't be able to see his friends again, and he can tell them everything in his letter and ask for their forgiveness.

Red gets home just before dinner, and everyone is waiting for him.

"Come here." "What did you do today?" ”

Red took off his coat and sat down: "Nothing. He forked a chicken steak and dug into the shelf of mashed potatoes: "I just went to visit a few lion cubs." ”

The author has something to say: Happy New Year, see you next year.
