It turned out that Lupin was in the closet in the teacher's lounge, and found that he was hiding a Boggart who would become the thing that others feared the most, so he took the third grade over to a practical class, and Neville, who was the first to try, actually made Boggart become Snape, and put on the clothes and hat of the old woman Longbottom.

Ixissy convened a meeting of chiefs for this, but Catherine's absence prevented her from deciding what to do, so Pansy, as the only person Madame Pomfrey allowed to visit the red-haired girl that day, had to listen honestly to the whole process of the meeting, and remember the instructions of Ixissi and the chiefs before she could come to the medical wing.

"What do you think about this? And how do you think Slytherin should respond? After recounting what had happened, Pansy finally asked Catherine for her opinion.

"I'm not a party to the matter, and I don't know the specifics of the matter, so I can't arbitrarily express my opinion to affect Slytherin's judgment, but if necessary, I will communicate with Professor Lupin so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Catherine's reply was all diplomatic, much to Pansy's surprise.

Although they grew up in a Slytherin family, the Parkinson's family is still too strong after all, and their mastery and application of language and wisdom are still three points inferior to other families, and it is only because their fists are hard enough that they have not received much white eyes.

Now that the ancestors of the family are getting emaciated, and there are not enough heirs to support the whole family, Pansy and other members of the youngest generation have to be forced to change their habits and learn how to use words and minds to confront others, but this is really not an easy task.

Pansy's requirements as a woman are not too strict, after all, her main task is to find a husband who can help the family, but her cousins are miserable, those who have graduated have to go back to school, and those who do not go to school become experimentals with new ways of education.

In such an atmosphere, Pansy, who was already a little unwilling, naturally wanted to do her part for the family, and now she saw Catherine's response leaking. I couldn't help but ask for advice.

Fortunately, Catherine remembered what time the lights were out, and as soon as she promised Pansy that she would help her make a training plan after she was discharged from the hospital, she hurriedly drove her back to Slytherin, otherwise the black-haired girl would be caught by the Night Watch Professor, thus leaving her house with a few jewels.

The next day's visitor time was back to normal, but instead of being like the others, Brayce waited until a long time had passed after lunchtime before staggering to the medical wing and entering the ward. began to tease Catherine with words, until the red-haired girl finally couldn't stand it anymore and began to fight back.

"You're continuing to talk like this, aren't you afraid that Pansy will run away with the others?"

Catherine had long seen through the playboy's private thoughts, but seeing that the parties themselves were not in a hurry, they didn't debunk it, and if it weren't for the fact that she really couldn't stand Brace's nonsense at this time, she wouldn't have taken it out to threaten her.

"Who marries such a violent woman will be considered unlucky to go home!" Brace clearly understands the Slytherin admonition that "weakness, even if it is controlled, must not be obeyed". So there was no abnormality in her expression at all, but Catherine still caught the fleeting uneasiness in her eyes.

"In that case," Catherine raised her voice deliberately, "then in the future, if Pansy asks me for something like a love potion." I don't have to hesitate to give it to her! ”

"You're not allowed to give Pansy those things!" Blaise was finally unable to maintain his disguise, he knew very well that the girl he liked actually preferred Draco, if it weren't for the sake of the two families, she would have struck first. But now that the Parkinson's family is on a downward spiral, he really can't guarantee that she won't choose to take risks in the end. After all, Zabini's family only has orphans and widows, and they can't provide much help to his wife's family at all.

"Alright! I'm not going to give her potions, and I'm not going to help her with anything like that, because the side effects of those are still a little uncontrollable, but—" Catherine said suddenly with great seriousness, "she asked me to help her train her language skills, and maybe I should add to my plan how to seduce men with words." ”

"Catherine!" Brace roared, but suddenly became unusually calm again, "Say, what price do you need so that you don't meddle between me and Pansy." ”

"As far as I know, there aren't many women who don't like gossip, and your mother—" said Catherine, her eyes sparkling, "is obviously a good one, so she must have a lot of good material on her hands!" ”

"It can't be!" Bress flatly refused, "My mother's mouth is unusually strict, even to me, unless necessary, she will never break her mouth." ”

"Naturally, I know Ling Tang's temperament, and I also know that it is impossible for you to dig up what is in her hands, so I just ask you to arrange a meeting for me—" Catherine smiled lightly, "I will meet with your mother alone and privately. ”

"Yes!" Brace agreed without even thinking about it, "How about Hogsmeade's Hoghead Bar?" ”

"Don't you know that the secrecy of that place is unusually poor?" After learning that Trelawney's prophecy 14 years ago had been leaked out of the Hog's Head Bar, Catherine didn't have much affection for the place.

"And where do you want to go?" Brace raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hogsmeade is so crowded on weekends that you can't even keep your whereabouts a secret. ”

"That's it!" Catherine originally wanted to say that she could let Dobby take her to other parts of the UK, but after thinking about it, she finally agreed with Brace's suggestion, "Okay. ”

"Then I'll let you know when I've discussed it with my mother." As soon as Brace got a deal with Catherine, he hurriedly got down to business, "Senior Ixissi wants you to figure it out, he said that although Slytherin is used to being misunderstood and insulted, and is also used to not explaining, there is still an untouchable limit. ”

"I understand!" Catherine also solemnly promised, "I will do my best to figure it out and give you a clear answer." ”

After hearing this, Brace immediately turned around and slipped away, he didn't dare to stay any longer, lest he would be blackmailed by Catherine again, and the red-haired girl couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

At noon on Saturday, Lupin came to visit him at the medical wing, and as soon as Catherine saw him, she asked bluntly, "Why did you deliberately induce Neville to do that on Thursday afternoon?" ”

"Don't you think the contradiction between the two academies is too deep?" Lu Ping's face did not change and said his reasons, "If you don't let them explode, you can't make them cooperate without any guilt, or even become friends." ”

"By the way, you can tease an old friend, right?" Catherine raised an eyebrow, then changed the subject, "This robe suits you very well, it must not have been chosen by the principal!" As soon as she saw Lupin's new robes, she knew that it was definitely not Dumbledore's taste.

"It's really not, I can trust Dumbledore for other things, but I really can't believe his taste and eye for clothes, so I randomly chose a few of the most monotonous, who knew that they were actually the most expensive." Lupin looked at the clothes on his body with some depression, he had never worn such an expensive one, and now he felt awkward even walking.

"Don't worry about these things outside of you!" Catherine smiled and said, "They're just in case numbers for me, and being able to use them to make up for when I make a mistake is already the cheapest compensation, so as long as you're satisfied......"

"I couldn't be more satisfied." Lupin touched his robe and smiled comfortably, "Since my parents died, I never thought I would be able to live such a comfortable life and return to Hogwarts as a family. ”

"I understand!" Catherine nodded, "It's not easy for you to live alone! ”

"How did you find out?" Lupin asked curiously.

"You didn't hide anything at all, and I'm just as careful!" Catherine smiled, "I guess there were only four people in your dorm room, right?" ”

"Yes." Lupin's expression suddenly darkened, "Me! Jimmy! Sirius! And Peter, four of them. ”

"An embarrassing identity can become a member of the most dazzling group in the whole school." Catherine suddenly softened her voice, "You cherish it very much, even if some of their actions go against your principles, you don't speak out against them, do you?" ”

"Yes!" Lupin closed his eyes, hiding his helplessness and regret, "It can be said that I have failed Dumbledore's good intentions, he hopes that I can be the yardstick to contain them, but I always let go of my hand, and they still act recklessly." ”

"And what about Peter? What kind of person he was. Catherine asked softly.

"Him?" Lupin smiled softly, "He's as timid and cowardly as a mouse, about Neville, but not as forgetful as Neville." ”

"Have you always protected him?"

"Huh?" Lupin frowned and pondered for a long time, "Yes, the four of us have always had the same curriculum, although Jaime and Sirius train in Quidditch, but Peter will also stay by my side at that time, so that when Slytherin comes to find trouble, he will not be bullied." What's wrong? He looked at Catherine suspiciously.

"So when you know that Neville is most afraid of Professor Snape, and you remind him of his grandmother who has always protected him, do you think that will give him courage?"

"You can say the same thing." Lupin thought for a moment before answering.

"Don't you think this will make him overly dependent on his grandmother, and once his grandmother is gone, won't he even lose the courage to resist?"

"Do you mean ......?" Lupin did not continue, but his face suddenly became unusually ugly. (To be continued......)
