Chapter 207: Hermione's Choice!
Hermione said solemnly, "I suspect Professor Lupin is ...... compared to the moon in astronomy class."
She said with difficulty: "It's a werewolf." ”
"Why?" asked Harry, smiling.
Hermione was so shocked by her sudden realization that Harry ignored Harry when he heard her say it.
Hermione was in a mixed mood and looked as excited as Christopher Columbus had discovered a new world.
Hermione leaned forward, looked left and right, and whispered, "Actually, Professor Lupin's characteristics are already obvious, but we don't think about it. ”
Clever little girl, Harry admired in his heart.
But he didn't directly agree with Hermione's words, he was willing to hear how Hermione found out.
"Why do you think that, werewolves, they're dangerous creatures, and there's nowhere to prepare for them, let alone make them professors at Hogwarts, it's child's play on the lives of students. ”
Hermione said, "So this is something that no one dares to think of, Headmaster Dumbledore is really too bold, I dare say that Dumbledore must know the identity of Professor Lupin." ”
"You haven't said what you think of Lupin's werewolves?"
Hermione said proudly, "Professor Lupin has shown something peculiar, have you noticed, his eyes seem to change back and forth, sometimes blue, sometimes green, but not obviously. And his hair, the closer to the day of the moon the moon is the brightest of the month, the hair becomes a little longer, and the silver shine is bright. ”
But it was Professor Snape's assignment that made me realize that these details point to an answer. ”
"Remember, on the full moon days of last month, Professor Lupin gave us a lecture instead of a practical lesson, but a book, and he looked very weak and listless, and some people laughed at him if he had been sucked into the major artery by a vampire? ”
And this time he directly asked for leave, he was not feeling well, it was too much of a coincidence. ”
"But you also know that in the last few days, although Professor Lupin was a little abnormal, he did not become a werewolf, and it should be said that when the moon is full, the werewolf will only be energetic, how can he be like him, weak as if he was blown by the wind. Harry said.
Hermione was stunned, pulled out a book, and flipped to a page.
Said excitedly: "Look at this, isn't it obvious, it's a wolf poison potion." ”
"The wolf poison potion is the only potion that can suppress the wolf nature of the werewolf on the night of the full moon, as long as the wolf poison potion is consumed, Professor Lupin will become a harmless werewolf, no threat, will not lose his mind, at night, meekly nest in his room, but also because of the wolf poison potion, at that time he will be weaker than the human form. ”
"Everything makes sense, it was the potion that Professor Snape gave him, and with Snape's level, he must be able to do it, and it was precisely because of the existence of the wolf poison potion that Headmaster Dumbledore dared to let Professor Lupin stay at Hogwarts to teach. ”
"Do you remember, Professor Snape always hated Professor Lupin, not because Professor Lupin was playing tricks on Professor Snape in the Boggart class, but even earlier, on the night of the opening party, he was very hostile to Professor Lupin. ”
"There's a good chance they've known each other for a long time, and there's one issue I've been overlooking. That's how old is Professor Lupin? Harry, how old do you think Professor Lupin looks?"
Harry said, "He's young, his hair is a little gray, but his face is in his twenties. ”
"Yes, werewolves are very long-lived creatures, for example, the current werewolf leader is a werewolf named James Horlet, who is said to have lived for centuries, and he also joined a department under the American Department of Magic, called the Avengers. ”
"So, Professor Lupin probably went to school with Professor Snape, and Dumbledore was their teacher at the time, and Professor Dumbledore knew Professor Lupin well. ”
"And when Boggart flew in front of Professor Lupin, he turned into a crystal. At that time, some people said that Professor Lupin was afraid of a crystal ball, and some people thought that we were too many people to confuse Boggart. But it's actually a full moon!"
"I think Professor Snape deliberately assigned this assignment in order for us to discover Professor Lupin's identity, to make us realize his danger, and as for his purpose......"
Harry said, "Yes, now that you know the true face of Professor Lupin, as long as you write a letter to the Daily Prophet, it will definitely make a fuss, and the parents of the students will definitely force Dumbledore to fire Professor Lupin and let a werewolf stay in the school, which is too unrealistic." Professor Lupin had no choice but to embark on a lonely wandering journey again. ”
Hermione was distressed, and she said, "Why should I decide, you know it now, and you have a share." ”
Harry said lightly, "It's not me who pointed it out first, of course it depends on your attitude, what will you do?"
Hermione pondered and asked herself, "I want ...... How?"
......
It all ended with Hermione pretending she didn't know anything.
In her words, Professor Lupin is a qualified teacher, and this has nothing to do with his status as a werewolf.
......
On October 23rd, Ron's rat pet was brought to Hogwarts.
This old rat has an extraordinary status in the Wiasley family, and is more than a simple pet.
Banban has lived in their family for more than ten years, just like a member of their family.
It can be said that he is a veteran of several dynasties, and he has grown up with every child in the Wiasley family.
Bill, Charlie, Percy, George twins, and now Ron, presumably if Spotted hadn't died, would have been a pet for Ginny for a few years.
So it's understandable that Ron's mother made a special trip just to give Ron a mouse.
At dinner, Ron holds Spotted in his arms and is showing off his big rat to the people around him.
"During the summer vacation, he had a serious illness, and his hair was bald, and he was panicked. But it's much better now, but Spotted has been in my house for more than ten years, and he's older than me. ”
The people around him looked in amazement at the mouse being stroked by Ron.
"That's a very long life, my uncle's family used to have a pet mouse, and my uncle took good care of it, but it only lived for seven years. ”
"But the doctor at the magic pet shop said that I'm afraid Spotted won't live long. Ron said sadly, "It's going to be taking the strengthening pills for it all the time." ”
Mouse Spotted spun around in Ron's hand, a little uneasy, chirping.
He seemed to smell a hint of danger, familiarity.
A taste of a long time ago.
It was the smell of Sirius Black's transformation into the Animagus.
But, how could it be.
This is Hogwarts, and it's much safer than the Ministry of Magic.
Except that Dumbledore wouldn't let dangerous people in, not to mention the flying Dementors watching every move.
It seems that after hearing that Blake escaped from prison, he has not recovered his strength, and he must be too cautious to have this illusion.
As long as I stay at Hogwarts honestly, I'm safest. Just wait for Blake to be caught.
After dinner, Spotted follows Ron back to the Gryffindor dormitory.
The closer I got to the bedroom door, the more uneasy I felt.
It was as if, behind that door, after being pushed open, hell was waiting for him.
Chirping......
The wooden door was pushed open.
Spotted was lowered to the ground and left to crawl.
Ron said, "Don't run to the common room, Granger bought a pet cat, be careful that it eats you." ”
Spotted was shivering on the wooden floor, and even scared to pee, and got wet.
Because he saw that under Harry Potter's bed, a huge black shadow was staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
The big black dog cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouthful of long, sharp teeth.
At this point, Spotted wants to go crazy and runs out of the door and down the stairs.
The big black dog also nimbly crawled out from under the bed, jumped out, and followed closely.
Behind it was Ron's panicked voice, "Hey, Spotted." ”
