Chapter 168: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (9)
Lupin is not wary of Professor Kate at the moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info came because he believed in Headmaster Dumbledore's vision, he recruited Professor Kate and allowed her to be a teacher at Hogwarts, he must have a trust in her, since Headmaster Dumbledore can be trusted, then Lupin feels that he can also give his trust; In addition, Lupin really feels that he has nothing to deceive, he is just an extremely down-and-out wizard, and because of his identity as a werewolf, he has been rejected and disliked by almost everyone, what is there to deceive him?
"A vendetta?" Phyllis rubbed her teacup and said, "Can you talk to me?" Who hasn't been impulsive when they were students, and is it true that the previous suspicions will be maintained for a lifetime? Tell me that I might be able to help you mediate. ”
Lupin shook his head and said: "This possibility is not very likely, if it were not for Voldemort, the mistakes we made when we were young might really fade away with time, and finally completely dissipate, but the appearance of Voldemort made things extremely complicated, and everyone had different positions and positions in that chaotic war, which further amplified those mistakes, and deeply imprinted in the hearts of each of us." ”
Seeing that Lupin's expression was very lonely, Phyllis was no longer reluctant, and she said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't talk much, but in my opinion, there are many things that can be eternal, such as knowledge and wisdom, but this definitely does not include hatred." ”
Lupin readjusted his mentality, smiled gently, and said: "You are right, hatred will never last forever, I believe that one day, those mistakes will really dissipate, by the way, how can you be interested in that old history." ”
Lupin's words embarrassed Phyllis, who apparently realized that he didn't really want to reconcile some so-called conflict, but was interested in their school days.
Phyllis's face was a little hot, she looked down at the clear tea in the teacup, and said a name: "Sirius." ”
"Sirius Black?" At the mention of this name, Lupin's face became a little ugly, and he said, "You are interested in this person?" ”
Phyllis tucked back her hair from her forehead, raised her head again, and said, "Yes, I'm interested in this man, he escaped from Azkaban, it's full of Dementors, and there's something special about the people who can run out of there, and I did get interested in him." ”
Lupin kindly persuaded: "But he is a dangerous person, an extremely dangerous and dark-hearted person, it is not a wise choice to get involved with such a person, I am afraid it will cause you trouble." ”
Phyllis said nonchalantly: "So what, I still take this little risk, I have confidence in my own strength." ”
Lupin had also heard that Professor Kate had been fighting against Professor McGonagall a few years ago, and according to Professor Flitwick, she was no longer inferior to her Charms teacher in terms of spell-casting skills. A powerful Ravenclaw can often get into trouble, because their curiosity keeps them on the line, and Lupin remembers a phrase his father once said.
Even so, Lupin was not going to give in to Phyllis's curiosity, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you any useful information, in my memory, Sirius is not that kind of person, I don't know what kind of changes he has experienced, this is what I want to know, until things are figured out, I can only give you the wrong information." ”
This was the second time that Lupin had rejected Phyllis's question, and she sighed and said, "Well, in that case, forget it, I'm just a little curious anyway, by the way, it's always been said that Sirius will sneak into Hogwarts, and for this reason, the Ministry of Magic has sent a lot of Dementors to guard the intersection of Hogwarts, do you think he will really come?" ”
Lupin shook his head a little painfully and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.
Phyllis also got up to send her off, and said, "I'm sorry, I reminded you of a lot of bad memories, your face is ugly now, it's okay, right?" ”
Lupin smiled reluctantly and said, "Nothing. ”
Looking at Lupin's stumbling back, Phyllis returned to the office, the new Professor Lupin was very smart, but unfortunately he couldn't get some information about Snape out of his mouth. Yes, Phyllis's real purpose is to get to the bottom of Snape, according to the information she has so far, Severus Snape played a key role in the struggle between Dumbledore and Voldemort, and he is also extremely powerful, such a person will have a great impact on the whole situation, Phyllis feels that she should know a little more about this Potions teacher.
Three days later, deep in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, Phyllis crouched down and hugged Dora, the little guy who was now a little sluggish, apparently exhausted from the long journey. Dora was now seventy-three centimeters tall, which Phyllis had just measured for her, and a foal of this size was no longer suitable for hiding in her somewhat cramped office, she should grow in a freer environment, and the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts was a good place. There are indeed many dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest, but this "danger" is for those underage wizards, and for Dora, who is about to celebrate her third birthday, the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest will not have much impact on her life.
Phyllis put down her backpack and took out a few red herbs from it, this is the red Bolangsera grass, which is used in many potions, plays a role in regulating medicinal properties, and it is also the herb that the little unicorn needs to eat often at this stage. The only thing that made Phyllis more relieved was that this herb was not very expensive, and she could afford it.
Putting the herbs in the palm of her hand and feeling the warm nose of Little Dora, Phyllis's mood became much better. After feeding her eight red Bolangsera, she stopped, patted Dora's head, and said, "Okay, don't look at me with such a blank look, you can only eat so much a week, and eating too much is not good for your health, next time I will bring you some pearl alfalfa, you can eat more of that thing." ”
After settling Dora, Phyllis happily walked around this lush woodland, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is a well-preserved primeval forest, there are many strange creatures and rare herbs, and many of the herbs that Dora eats are picked by Phyllis from here. She was very interested in this kind of good place to get herbs without spending money.
Just as Phyllis was concentrating on carefully digging out a dark blight fungus, she suddenly felt a figure flash behind her right. What's going on? Phyllis drew her wand and chased after her quickly, her figure disappearing from time to time, not walking, more like floating, but no matter what, she was fast, of course, thanks to her familiarity with the area. After chasing for half an hour, Phyllis finally saw who the guy who was spying on her beside her, a big black wolfdog running in the woods, with a dead rabbit in his mouth.
It turned out to be him! Phyllis adjusted the direction of her pursuit, and soon, the big wolf dog found himself at a dead end, with cliffs more than ten meters high on three sides, and the only exit was blocked by Phyllis.
The big wolfhound turned around and growled under his breath at Phyllis, as if to give out some kind of intimidation.
Phyllis was more than ten centimeters above the ground, just suspended in mid-air, and said with a smile: "Sirius, why, you don't know me after just a few days?" ”
Seeing the woman say this, Sirius changed back and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "What are you chasing me for?" ”
During this time, Sirius was obviously not very well-nourished, he was wearing a robe that obviously did not fit, and I don't know whether it was stolen or robbed, the hem of the robe had been cut several times, his eye sockets were deep-set, he was very thin, and the whole person seemed to have been thinned into a skeleton, and at this time there was some blood at the corner of his mouth - the blood came from the poor rabbit he threw aside - it looked even more terrifying.
Phyllis ignored Sirius's question, looked him up and down, and said, "Why did you get here?" Did you really come after Harry Potter? ”
"Nope! Of course not! How could I go after Harry, I'm his father's best friend, his godfather, how could I go after him? Sirius said excitedly.
"Oh, that's right." Phyllis agreed, and her expression didn't change much.
Seeing her reaction, Sirius asked alertly, "You believe me like that?" ”
Phyllis said: "Of course not, it doesn't matter if I believe you or not, I believe in Hogwarts' defense system, Voldemort in his heyday didn't dare to hit Hogwarts' attention, what can you do if you are a person who has fallen like this?" ”
Sirius was speechless for a while, he really couldn't do anything, although nothing was revealed on the surface, but Hogwarts' defense level had indeed increased, and those Dementors at various intersections had indeed caused him a lot of trouble.
"You've only been living in the Forbidden Forest all this time?" Phyllis asked again.
"What does this have to do with you?" Sirius said indifferently.
Phyllis fell to the ground and said, "Don't be rusty, anyway, we also have a relationship, and we should always say hello when we meet." ”
"It has nothing to do with you." Sirius said.
"Okay." Phyllis, who had been rejected twice in a row, put down her backpack, took out a piece of cream cake from it, put it on the ground, took a few steps back and said, "You should be interested in this, right?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sirius said.
Phyllis said, "This is the lunch I brought, and I think you need this cake more than I do." ”
Sirius asked, "I mean, why are you helping me, aren't you afraid that I'll break through Hogwarts' defenses?" Sirius didn't even look at the cake, he had not broken down after twelve years in Azkaban, he still had a little will, and even though he had been hungry for three days, the cake was not enough to affect his mind.
Phyllis smiled and said, "I'm sure Hogwarts' defenses won't collapse because of my piece of cake, and as for why it's for you, I'd like to ask someone from you." ”
Sirius asked, "Who?" ”
Phyllis said, "Lily Evans. ”
Sirius seemed to be a cat with its tail stepped on, and the whole person exploded, and asked in a stern tone, "Who are you?" Why do you want to inquire about Lily? ”
Phyllis said in an indifferent tone, "You don't need to know this. ”
Sirius said, "If you don't give me a proper reason, don't expect to get information about Lily from me." ”
The two confronted each other like this, and after ten minutes, Phyllis sighed and said, "Well, I can only tell you that my mother once left something with Lily. ”
Sirius frowned, he didn't remember that Lily had a friend who was an Asian wizard, and of course, he couldn't tell that what Phyllis said was false. Because of Voldemort's rise, the entire British wizarding world fell into chaos, there were many wizards who did not join the Order of the Phoenix for various reasons, but also fought with them against Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Lily is a gentle and beautiful girl, liked and trusted by many people, it is not impossible if someone puts something with her, Sirius does not dare to say that everyone Lily knows is also familiar with him.
Sirius asked, "You want that thing back?" ”
"This is just one of the reasons," Phyllis said, "as my mother mentioned this gentle woman in many places in her diary, and I would like to know more about her in order to ...... Anyway, I just wanted to know about Lily's story and it wouldn't have any effect on her or her children. ”
Sirius gave her a deep look and said, "Well, I'll be here in three days, and I'll tell you something about Lily." His memories had become havocard after more than a decade of torture in Azkaban, and he needed to go back and calmly recall whether Lily had ever dealt with an Asian female wizard.
Phyllis was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something, she winked at Sirius and said, "Okay, I see, see you in three days." ”
It wasn't until Phyllis was gone that Sirius came to her senses, she had misunderstood, she thought she wanted her to bring a little more food, so she set the date for three days later.
Anyway, it's always good to get something to eat, Sirius picked up the dead rabbit, picked up the cake that Phyllis had left behind, looked left and right, and walked towards his place in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. (To be continued.) )
