Chapter 18

Returning to Hogwarts, Sirius, and James makes it seem like they must have been someone else drinking Polyjuice Potion to pretend. They started to study like crazy.

In the second half of the semester, Hogwarts Year 5 students take their regular wizarding level exam, which is one of the most important exams during their school years.

But judging by Sirius and James' consistent performance, they don't care so much about their test scores. So everyone was surprised, and even Professor McGonagall called them in and asked them again.

"We think we should do it." Sirius said.

"We don't have much time to waste." James said so.

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to say, "Well, I want you to pay attention to your body and not get ...... because of the exam Losing your mind. ”

Headmaster Dumbledore spoke with Professor McGonagall, and both of them thought that they had suddenly studied so hard for the sake of Remus Lupin.

"It's a kids' friendship, and we'll just watch from the sidelines." Headmaster Dumbledore comforted Professor McGonagall.

In fact, just as they thought, after a month of intensive study, Sirius and James finally reviewed the textbooks for first and fourth grades. It may seem silly, but it's necessary. They quickly kept up with the pace of revision by other students and were able to develop a detailed revision plan.

At this point, James handed over all the rest of the work to Sirius, who put them together and sent them to Remus, who had to go to Quidditch.

"With two games left in fifth year, and sixth and seventh years, I'll guarantee a Quidditch victory for Slytherin every year." James said to himself.

When he returned from the Lupin house, he had to think about his feud with Snape again. If a single prank had caused Remus so much harm, what he had done to the snot spirit in the previous four years might not have been repaid with a single apology?

But he really didn't want to say sorry to the snot spirit anymore, one experience was enough. He decided to compensate him in a different way, and it seemed like a good idea to give Slytherin a Quidditch victory.

Sirius began working double jobs, including Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. It made him wish he had forty-eight hours a day, or maybe he didn't need to sleep!

James began to toss the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and he asked to train every day! From 5 o'clock after class until 9 o'clock in the evening, two teams will play against each other. The players had to eat dinner only on the court.

In March, the Quidditch pitch was regreened. Here Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw was held, and of course it was played by Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Before kick-off, James Potter flew to the Slytherin stands on a broomstick and shouted to Severus Snape in the crowd: "Slytherin wins!" ”

Snape squirted out a mouthful of mineral water, and when he looked up, James had already flown away. He wiped his mouth, turned his head and asked the classmate next to him, "You put a curse on the Gryffindors?" ”

James Potter led the Gryffindor team as if he had taken a double dose of Dob's potion, and rushed towards the Hufflepuff team! At the end of the scuffle, the Gryffindors had a 220-point lead over Hufflepuff at 670 points, and managed to catch the Golden Snitch at an hour and three minutes, giving the Hogwarts students and students a thrilling match.

A month later, Slytherin took on Hufflepuff, with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw in action. James Potter also won the Slytherin with overwhelming momentum, receiving Slytherin cheers and a close examination by Madam Pomfrey of the Medical Wing, whose friends suspected that he had been under the Powerful Confusion Charm or had taken **water.

By the time the rest of the students began to prepare for the final exam, the general wizard level exam began, which lasted for two weeks.

Sirius and James already looked like wild men in the Forbidden Forest, they didn't have much time to eat or sleep, and the closer the exam approached, the more nervous they became, which was directly reflected in the fact that he ran to Professor McGonagall every day and asked her when Remus would be able to come for the exam.

"Professor, he could have come earlier." Sirius said as Professor McGonagall stopped in front of him.

"Yes, Professor, he can ask you some questions." James said on the side.

"No, Mr. Black and Mr. Potter. Mr. Lupin would not return to Hogwarts until the day of the exam, and he would have to leave when the exam was over. And I have to remind you that you will not be able to meet in person. Professor McGonagall had a headache for the two boys in her house. But recently, they have tried to look at her eyes, which makes her have to be more patient to face their boring questions.

"Why?!" Sirius and James shouted again. They didn't think it was necessary, even if Remus was a werewolf, he wouldn't bite during the day. This is nothing short of discrimination!

Professor McGonagall couldn't explain it to them, and the Rector and the professors had discussed it many times, and they thought that if Remus Lupin was allowed to take the exam with everyone at this time, it was likely that the attitude of his classmates towards him would affect his performance. In order for him to be able to take the exam well, it was decided to let him take the exam himself. In the future, Hogwarts may also have such special students, and with this precedent, the school can also have a precedent to follow if the same thing happens in the future.

"Alright, gentlemen, it's time for you to go and review, and I'm looking forward to your transcripts." Professor McGonagall kicked them out, and the two Gryffindors stood in the hallway like angry lions.

"Let's go." A minute later, Sirius dragged James away, and at night he heard James memorize potions all night in his bed, gritting his teeth as he carried it.

Remus Lupin returned to Hogwarts two hours before his first exam, accompanied by his parents. Professor Riddle Jr. came to pick them up.

"Welcome, Remus." Professor Riddle Jr. shook hands with the Lupins and asked them to stay in the reception room, and then he escorted Remus to the examination room.

They arrived at the Potions classroom. Now there is no one here, and all the cauldrons are put away. Professor Riddle Jr. sat Remus down, and when the bell rang, he gave him a curl. The first exam is Potions Theory and the afternoon is Potions Practice.

"You've got 19 minutes." Professor Riddle Jr. took out an hourglass and placed it on the podium, "Let's get started." ”

When Remus received his exam assignments, he knew he would be taking the exam in a special testing room. However, he thought it would be an empty classroom, but he didn't expect it to be a Potions classroom.

Once Red had arranged everything, he sat down at the back of the podium with a book to read, and it was up to Headmaster Dumbledore to proctor Remus Lupin. He knew very well that it was the old wizard who had done it. Let him see more of what he did to the kid Remus Lupin. Even such a trivial matter as sending the exam arrangement, it was clear that it was enough to let the owl send it, but let him send it in person.

I have to say that this is useful. If he hadn't seen Remus Lupin since the Chamber of Secrets, he'd forgotten about him long ago. But now that he 'has to' take care of him again and again, this child's eyes are alive again. And he suspected that his mother had already discussed it with the principal, and always asked him every few days, 'How is the student named Lupin?' He replied again and again, and thought about Remus Lupin again and again, and now he could quickly recall everything about Remus Lupin, including where he had reviewed.

19 minutes of exam time is enough for Remus, he answered all the questions in an hour and a half, except for the fact that he was not impressed, the others were probably about 80% correct. He spends the rest of his time checking and figuring out the correct answers to questions he is not sure about.

With ten minutes remaining, Professor Riddle Jr. stepped down to stand beside him, Remus was nervous, he hadn't taken Potions class in a whole year, and although he had tried to revise it at home, to be honest, he hadn't been particularly good at Potions before.

Then he strangely saw Professor Riddle Jr. tick a few multiple-choice and true/false questions, and when the professor left, he looked at them again. Including two calculation questions and one logic problem, he was still very confident, but now he is uncertain when he looks at it again. A minute before the bell rang, he gritted his teeth and changed the answers.

When he handed the scroll to Professor Riddle Jr., he winked at him like Headmaster Dumbledore. As a result, he left the Potions classroom with a smile on his face.

Sirius and James waited outside, and when he came out, the two of them pounced on him and hugged him!

"Remus! My good friend! I've finally met you!! The two of them screamed and rubbed his hair vigorously and slapped him hard, and Sirius excitedly held him and kissed him on the cheek.

Hung by two people, Remus was almost planted to the ground. Professor Riddle Jr. came out with his exam papers and said, "Mr. Lupin, I'm going to the rector's office, so can you wait for me here?" ”

"Of course, Professor." Remus said.

Professor Riddle Jr. raised his chin and pointed to the Potions classroom, "You can go in and sit for a while." I'll be right back. ”

"Thank you! Professor! Sirius and James Fei dragged Remus into the Potions classroom, and they couldn't wait to ask Remus a lot of questions.

"How are you reviewing? Did you read all the parchment paper I asked the owl to deliver? Sirius said.

Remus hurriedly said that he had seen it all: "Sirius, thank you, you have done too much." He sent him class notes and review materials, including 150 astronomical charts that he had drawn by hand, showing the orbits of all the stars and moons.

James' eyes darkened: "It's okay, you can follow that backword, this exam is absolutely fine." "He's created a chronology of the history of magic, a brief list of great deeds, and a map of important people, especially important people, and he can now proudly say that he can tell all the great things that all the students and ancestors of Hogwarts have done, and even the Black family has produced a few Regulus Blacks. Because there are so many namesalike in the same family, he now has a habit of saying things to Sirius, 'Your childless Regulus Black is Sirius Black's son, and I'm not talking about you, he has an older brother, Arcturus, who is your grandfather......

Sirius would use a fountain of water to wake him up every time.

Because the two friends kept complaining that the school wouldn't let him come early, and they were depressed that they were sorry because they were so unlucky, and they had been working hard to prepare for the exams, they looked almost like ghouls. Remus didn't want his friends to keep talking about those unhappy things, so he mentioned Quidditch to change everyone's mood, saying, "By the way, James, you didn't tell me, how did you play Quidditch these two times?" Must have won, right? ”

But James' face darkened, and Sirius whispered to Remus that because James had tried too hard to add points to Slytherin during the Quidditch match, it was now almost certain that Slytherin would win this year's House Cup - unless Gryffindor could add a thousand points to the house in half a month.

“…… He won 1,300 points for Slytherin in two matches, and the Slytherin gems are now the sum of the remaining three houses. Sirius's voice grew quieter and quieter as James' face darkened next to him.

Remus didn't know what to say, he could only pat James on the shoulder comfortingly.

"James, at least you won." He said.

James didn't tell his friends why he tried so hard to win for Slytherin, because he couldn't say he was trying to make up for the snot, so his friends would wonder if he had fallen under the Confusion Curse, or if it was irreversible.

After the exams, Remus went home, and his two friends said they would come to his house for the summer.

"Remus, I love the woods outside your house, you know, the Black family is just a big and gloomy house." Sirius pleaded.

"Remus, last time you said you were going to take us to catch foxes, I must go to your house this summer!" James had already begun to prepare for his camping tent, and when he got to Lupin's house, he must stay in a tent and camp!

The two friends were so enthusiastic that Remus agreed in a daze, but when he got home he regretted it, and he was worried that his friends' parents would not let them come.

Mrs. Lupin gave him the idea to write to him telling him that his friends had to get parental permission to come.

"If their parents agree, I'll ask your dad to pick them up." Mrs. Lupin said.

Remus knew it was a good idea, but he thought his friends might not be able to come. He wrote to them and waited for a reply every day.

Two days later, a reply came, much to his surprise, both the Blacks and the Porters agreed.

Why is that?

Remus was so surprised that he read the letter again, and found that the Blakes had written, 'Since the professor had assurances, of course we had no reason to refuse,' and the Porters were 'if the headmaster thought it good, of course it would be fine.'

'Headmaster' of course refers to Headmaster Dumbledore, but who does 'Professor' refer to?

Remus thought it might be Professor Riddle Jr., and he hoped it would be the professor who had always taken good care of him. He began to look forward to it.

On the fifteenth of July, at seven o'clock in the morning, Remus got up, got dressed, and sat down in the drawing-room, facing the main door, where he even ate his breakfast.

At nine o'clock, there was finally a knock on the door.

Before Mrs. Lupin could come out of the kitchen, Remus ran to open the door. Outside the door were Professor Riddle Jr. and his two friends.

"Good morning." Professor Riddle Jr. greeted Mrs. Lupin, and Sirius and James were already hugging and screaming with Remus.

After the three children had run out to play, Professor Riddle Jr. gave them their luggage to Mrs. Lupin, and agreed to pick them up again.

"I'll pick them up before the full moon, so have fun." Red wanted to take his leave at once, but Mrs. Lupin kept him for lunch, and he wanted to observe the three children more, so he agreed. When it was lunchtime, the three children came running in covered in mud and laughing, chasing and fighting all the room as if they were only five years old.

"It's a surprise." Red said, putting down the teacup.

Mrs. Lupin was pleased: "They're children, aren't they?" ”

Red suddenly felt that maybe in his mother's eyes, he was just a child, so even now she would still educate him like a child.

"Yes." He said it wouldn't be so stupid to look at these Gryffindors again.

The author has something to say: it's not dark yet, tomorrow is still daytime, everyone will see you tomorrow.

Tob's drug = stimulant

I can't really find any other potions
