Chapter 18: Remus Lupin

Tuesday and Wednesday were nothing special. It's worth mentioning that Hagrid is now thoroughly famous in the academy. The fantastic beasts he introduces are far more interesting than those of his predecessor, Kettleburn. After all, the latter is a serious professor, while Hagrid can be said to be a monster breeder. Children, if there is no danger, of course they prefer monsters. Of course, this is on the premise that Hagrid has not yet sacrificed the big killer Explosive Snail.

By Wednesday night, something happened that Daphany hadn't expected.

On Wednesday afternoon, Daphine had only one class in ancient runi, and instead of going back to her dorm room, she went to the library to read a book. Although he already has the highest level of books in the wizarding world in Europe, there are still many books worth reading in the Hogwarts library.

After intentional training, Daphany is now very capable of learning. Once she settles down in her studies, it's hard to disturb her with the things around her. So it looked like it was more than two hours, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when someone called her.

The name of Daphany is a fifth-year Slytherin girl. Daphany is not familiar with her, but she knows that she is from a small family, and she is usually a well-behaved and obedient student.

The girl had come to tell Daphany that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Remus Lupin, was looking for her. I checked her class schedule and found that she didn't have classes, so I went to the dormitory to find it. Didn't find this to the library.

Lupin looking for me? Daphany was a little puzzled. Daphany wouldn't be surprised if he went to Harry, but what was the point of finding himself?

Although there are many doubts in her heart, Daphany can't help but be unavoided. So he followed the girl to Lupin's office.

Lupin's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office was on the third floor, and Daphany had been there more than once. So it's also familiar. On the way, Daphine asked the girl what the professor was looking for her. The girl didn't know, she only said that Professor Lupin's class was very good, much better than the previous professors, and she could really learn something.

Daphine said in her heart that it wasn't nonsense, could Lupin compare with the previous ones? Quirrell is a pit goods, essentially a puppet of Voldemort, although his own strength is actually very good, but his profession is acting! Not to mention Lockhart, Oscar owes him a little gold man forever. Although this close disciple of Grindelwald is also extraordinary, the purpose of his coming to the school is to make Harry understand. And this Professor Lupin is the only one who really came to teach everyone. Of course, it's also great to be able to mix some free wolf poison potion.

When he arrived at Lupin's office, the fifth-grade girl knocked softly on the door, and after a few breaths, a slightly tired voice came from inside: "Please come in!" ”

The two pushed the door open and entered.

Dafanie glanced around, and there was a huge difference between Lupin's office and Lockhart's style. Just like his simple and shabby dress, his office is also very simple. On either side of the room is a large cabinet and on the other side is a set of coffee tables and four small sofa chairs. Other than that, it's a large desk and a chair in the back.

Lupin was sitting at the back of his desk, leaning on his stomach and writing something. Hear the door open and look up. Seeing that it was Daphany, she smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it's Miss Natisney, then, this must be Miss Lestranzi." ”

"Yes, Professor." Daphany nodded.

"Professor Lupin, I'll go first?" The girl, Natisny, said to Lupin.

"Oh yes, thank you so much!" Lupin stood up and smiled to show his gratitude to the girl. The girl smiled slightly, turned away, and did not forget to close the door as she left.

Daphne wondered what Lupin was looking for her. Seeing Lupin come out from behind the table, he first made a gesture of please to the coffee table and smiled, "Please be seated, Miss Lestranzi." As he spoke, he opened the door that Nattis had closed.

"I've been taking some medication lately, and there may be some smell in the room, so it's better to leave the door open." Lupin said with a smile.

In fact, there was no smell in the room, and the wolf poison potion was also tasteless. Daphany knew that Lupin was opening the door for the other professors in the college who knew his identity. After all, his werewolf status is still a lot of taboos. In addition, there may be some defensive thinking of men and women in it.

Daphine sat down as she said, only to see Lupin open the big cabinet, take out a bag from it, and then ask, "I'm sorry, I only have black tea here, can I drink it?" ”

"Yes," said Daphany with a smile, "it would be nice if I could add a little maple sugar." "Haha Literature Network

"No problem." Lupin laughed, his hands on it. Soon two cups of tea were made, one was placed in front of Daphany, and the other was sitting opposite Daphine.

Daphine noticed that Lupin looked at her face with a slightly strange expression.

If before, Daphany may not know why. But after looking at Harry's photo album during the holidays, Daphany knew that she looked exactly like Harry's mother, Lily. For a moment, she tried to remember if the old bat had any special reaction when he first saw her. It's a pity that there is no impression.

While Lupin was observing Daphine, Daphany was quietly observing Lupin. The strength of this shabby-dressed new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is quite amazing! The first is his magic. Daphne originally thought that Lupin's strength should be on par with Snape, or slightly weaker. However, in fact, Lupin's magic is even stronger than Snape's!

You must know that Snape has the fourth highest magic power in the house, only behind the White Wizard, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick. Slightly stronger than Professor Sprout. It is one of the most elite among wizards. But Lupin was clearly a cut above Snape. Although Lupin is much worse than Snape in terms of mental power, he is still far above the level of ordinary excellent wizards.

Unexpectedly, this wolf slave is so strong? Daphany thought secretly, estimating that this had something to do with the difficult living environment he had been having. Hardship and hardship! After countless hardships and embarrassments, this man was not defeated, but stronger! In comparison, although Snape was in a better environment, at least in the years since Voldemort left, he has lived too comfortably......

Thinking of this, Daphany secretly sighed at the opportunity, and at the same time picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the taste was unexpectedly good!

"Miss Lestranz," Lupin said as he saw Daphany drinking tea, "I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall that although you are only three years old, you are probably the best at magic among the students. So, before I start teaching Year 3, I'd like to ask you about the progress of the course. Speaking of this, Lupin paused: "I also asked Miss Angelina Johnson in the fifth grade, and she said that her patronus even has your guidance?" ”

"Well, it's more of a friend of mine." Daphany smiled and nodded, "But I may have helped a little." ”

"Well, that's good!" Lupin grimaced, "It's hard for me to imagine that the various houses are in such harmony now, and I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore that it's all your credit. ”

"Oh?" Daphany was puzzled: "Could it be that when you were studying, the relationship between the various branches was very bad?" ”

"It's not as good as you are at this time." Lupin smiled lightly and brought the topic over: "Okay, let's get down to business." I'd like to ask Miss Lestranzie how your Defence Against the Dark Arts course is doing. I think it will help me a lot in arranging my course and making it easier for the students to learn. ”

"Progress......" Dafanie smiled awkwardly, thought about it and said directly: "Professor, tell you the truth." I don't know from afar, at least in the last two years, the Academy's Defense Against the Dark Arts has been an absolute mess. I think you can basically start from scratch in the second and third grades. ”

"Oh?" Lupin smiled lightly, but was clearly not surprised. In fact, this is in line with what Dumbledore has told him. It's just that he quietly observed and found that although the general level of students is poor, there are a few very outstanding students in almost every grade. After some investigation, Lupin learned of the existence of the Duel Club, and naturally knew of the existence of Daphany as the student host of the Duel Club.

In fact, as early as the Hogwarts Express, Lupin had met Daphany. However, at that time, Daphany was hidden under the light of Angelina, who had used the physical patronus, so Lupin didn't notice. After a little investigation, Lupin found that anyone who felt that his performance was above the level of his peers was basically a frequent participant in dueling clubs, or often intersected with Daphne. This made him take a strong interest in the girl that Dumbledore had mentioned more than once.

"Yes, Professor!" Daphne continued, "If it were an ordinary magical battle between magicians, there might be a good one in all grades now, but it's a credit to an after-school activity called the 'Duel Club'. And then there are the results of the efforts of some students from magician families. As far as the Defense Against the Dark Arts course is concerned, at least I haven't learned anything decent in the past two years. ”

"Is that so?" Lupin nodded, and what Daphany said was basically consistent with the results of his investigation: "Well, I think I have a plan." Thank you Miss Lestranz for your suggestion, we'll see you tomorrow in class! ”

"Okay, Professor!" Dafanie stood up and bowed slightly: "Thank you for the tea." ”

Lupin also got up and watched as Daphany turned and went out. But when she saw Daphany walk to the door, she suddenly turned around: "Professor, I heard that you have been traveling before, is that so?" Daphany asked, smiling. The word travel is definitely at best, and to put it bluntly, Lupin had been living a half-vagabond life before.

"It's been drifting!" Lupin nodded, a faint hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Then you must be well-informed, Professor." Daphany was still smiling, but the next sentence made Lupin's face change drastically: "I wonder if the professor has ever heard of the 'wolf elixir'?" ”
