Chapter 63: Flickering
"Professor, are you leaving?" In the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office, Harry, Hermione and Ron beside him were all reluctant. After the incident at the Screaming Booth, the relationship between the trio has eased, although it is not as good as it used to be.
The office had been cleaned up, and everything was tucked away in a large box in the corner.
"No way, my identity is revealed. Although I won't lose control now. But many parents of students don't think about it so much. They certainly wouldn't want a werewolf to teach their children. Lupin said with a smile.
"It's fine." On the couch at the edge of the room, Blake crossed his feet and smiled, "With me, Remus won't suffer anything." "Blake, who has changed into clean clothes and washed them, is still very thin, but he has already revealed his handsome appearance. After a month of maintenance, you should be able to become a handsome uncle who can cheat Lolita.
The trio didn't speak, but they were still sad. It happened earlier today, three days after the Screaming Booth incident, when Snape, who had been brought back by Dumbledore, had recovered from petrification and had lost the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor in Daphany's absence, resulting in Slytherin losing the final victory, he looked for an opportunity to pretend that he had unintentionally exposed that Lupin was a werewolf. If there are no accidents, there will be a large number of parents asking about this matter at the earliest tonight, and tomorrow morning at the latest.
The most important reason Lupin came to Hogwarts was to prevent Blake from harming Harry. At this point, it is clear that there is no need to worry about this matter at all. So although Lupin was a little reluctant, he didn't have any special regrets.
"Blame Snape for that bastard!" Ron slammed the wall. Lupin was by far his favorite professor, and Snape was undoubtedly the one he hated the most. Because Snape caused Lupin to leave, his reaction was very normal. However, this action is a bit inappropriate to be seen by someone who has just arrived outside the door.
"In front of a Slytherin, say that about our headmaster. Weasley, you're not doing this properly. Defanie came from outside the door with a playful voice: "Of course, if you dare to say that to his face, I'll treat you as right." ”
The trio turned around and saw Daphany. Ron's face flushed, but he couldn't say anything. Not to mention that Dafanie let them escape that day, and chose to break off the queen. Just say that he helped him treat his leg when he was screaming in the shed, and he owes Daphany a favor. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but at this time, it's a bit too much to say.
"Daphine, when are you awake?" Harry and Hermione were happy to see Daphany.
"I woke up in the morning." Daphne smiled lightly, not paying much attention to the embarrassed Ron: "When you hear about Professor Lupin, come and take a look." ”
Before Lupin could speak, Blake, who was sitting on his back and on the side, suddenly stood up. Came to Daphany and bowed solemnly. This startled everyone, including Daphany. But Blake quickly straightened up and said solemnly, "Thank you, Daphany! If it weren't for you this time, I don't know how much trouble this matter would have. I heard Remus say that you were helping him from the beginning! He bowed deeply again.
Daphany didn't mean to stop him, and when she saw him finish speaking, she smiled and said, "Supposedly, I should call you uncle." ”
"Not necessarily." Blake shook his hand, "I left the Black family when I was a student, and I have a particularly bad relationship with your mother, Bellatrix, so I don't need to be friends with her. Blake looked disapproving when he spoke of Bellatrix, apparently saying that he had a bad relationship with him and that he was not just talking.
Dafanie didn't care, her mother was a Death Eater, and Black was the Order of the Phoenix. The two parties are incompatible, and it is strange that the relationship can be good. Hearing this, he smiled and continued: "It's okay, it's awkward for me to scream." Seeing that Blake rolled her eyes when she heard this, Daphany didn't care: "Although I did help you this time, my intention was also to help Harry, who is my friend." Helping you can only be regarded as incidental. ”
Blake rolls his eyes again when he hears Daphany say that he is incidental.
Dafanie still didn't care: "However, since you recognize that I have done you this favor, I do have a business that I don't know if you are interested in?" ”
"What business?" When Blake heard this, he was interested.
"Potions business!" Daphany smiled and said, "Actually, it's still not you," said Daphany and turned to Lupin, "I heard that Professor Lupin's background seems to have been exposed by our dean." I guess I can't continue to teach. As he spoke, he looked at the cleaned office, "Looks like Professor Lupin is ready." So, if Professor Lupin doesn't have a good place to go, I don't know if he would like to work with me? The job is pretty much the same as before. Speaking of which, he glanced at Blake by the way: "If you are also willing, you can cooperate by the way." ”
Blake's nose was crooked when he listened, how many times? How many times has this been? If you want to talk about Blake, he was a man of the year when he was in school, and he was always the focus of the crowd's attention like his friend James Porter. The same is true after graduation, he is powerful and good-looking, and almost everywhere he goes, people pay special attention to him. But when I got to Daphany, I was told several times in a row that I was only bringing you by the way.
"Potions?" Lupin didn't care about Blake's petty emotions, instead, he was interested in Daphany's proposal. After leaving Hogwarts, he has returned to his previous situation, a down-and-out middle-aged man with good strength but not easy to find a suitable job. If you can work with Daphne...... Or to put it bluntly, working for Daphany is actually a good choice. But...... Colorful Chinese
"Daphine, there's something I'd like to confirm with you." Lupin thought for a moment and said, "I find that I seem to be able to control the werewolf transformation!" Does this have anything to do with your wolf elixir? ”
"Huh?" Before Daphany could answer, it was Hermione who suddenly spoke. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hermione was not nervous. He had long been rushing to answer questions in class, and he had long been accustomed to everyone looking at her: "I remember a few months ago, I went to Hogsmeade with Daphany, and I ran into one, hmm...... Several werewolves. One of them was Fenrir who had come to attack us the day before yesterday. ”
Hearing Fenrir's name, a hint of fierceness flashed in Lupin's irrepressible eyes, but it was also a flash.
Hermione continued, "At that time, there were three werewolves from the United States who helped us subdue him, and we listened to the werewolves afterwards. Wolves who have been taking wolf elixir for a long time...... Wolf slave, it seems that it does, that word is called ......" Hermione couldn't remember for a moment.
"Purification?" Lupin said.
"Yes, yes, purify!" Daphany nodded: "Those three American werewolves seem to be here because of this." They say there's someone here selling wolf elixir......" she said, looking at Daphany.
"Look at what I'm doing, it's true that I'm selling medicine." Daphany said with a grin. Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed, so it is better to take this opportunity to speak out. Anyway, the Potions Factory is now firmly established. Backed by two large families, Europe and the Americas, the Potions Factory has survived its initial difficult times. Now there is nothing anyone can do to stop it from growing.
"But," Defanie turned to Lupin, "In that case, the werewolves in the United States only found out that this was the case." No final conclusion yet. So I didn't pay much attention to it before. "Daphine's words are half-true. She didn't know if the wolf elixir really worked, but she did have the hope of helping Lupin purify.
Lupin had mixed feelings for a moment and didn't know what to say. He has always resisted his werewolf blood. Although he knew that purification was indeed a better option than resistance at the level of magic in front of the mold, he still chose to resist. At this time, he became a real werewolf, although he would no longer lose his mind because of the moonlit night transformation, but his previous persistence was in vain.
"So, Daphine, are you really the owner of the Potions Factory?" Harry, who hadn't spoken, couldn't help but ask.
"yes, I'm weird, didn't Ron tell you?" Daphne asked with interest.
"How would I know?" Ron couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I'm not familiar with you." ”
"I don't know you well, but I thought Fred and George would tell you, and it seems that their tone is more important than I thought!" Daphany said with a smile, and at the same time had a good impression of the twins.
The Potions Factory can hide from many people, but after all, they are all together, so they can't hide from the twin brothers who also have to debug the production line often. But it seems that all the twins' minds are on the toy factory. Although he had known about the existence of the Potions Factory for a long time, he didn't care about it at all, and he deliberately didn't mention it to anyone.
Hearing Daphne admit that the Potions Factory was her own, everyone except Blake gasped. Including Lupin, who had been speculated for a long time. They all knew how fast the Potions Factory had grown in the past few years. As soon as the potions factory releases a potion seed, other manufacturers will immediately abandon it. Those who were not convinced were all squeezed into the yellow, and now that the potions are in business, there is no one who is not afraid to mention the potions factory. In fact, all the low-level potions required for Hogwarts' advanced potions classes are now produced by Potions Factories.
"I'm willing to help," Lupin said first, but raised his doubts, "but I have to say, I'm not really good at potions." In fact," he said, glancing at Blake, "Cialis is just as bad at it." ”
Blake pouted, but didn't argue. No way, not only does the potion thing have to be talented, but it also has to take a lot of practice to be able to play it. Blake and James Potter's out-of-the-box temperament certainly made it impossible for him to sit down and study potions, let alone spend most of his adult life in Azkaban. Lupin has this heart, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the financial conditions.
"It's okay, I don't expect you to make the medicine for me. Pharmaceutical matters, I naturally have arrangements. Daphany didn't care, he hadn't expected the two of them to help him with the medicine.
"I owe you a favor, and whatever you say is what it is." Blake waved his hand disappreciatively, meaning that he agreed with Daphany's statement.
Seeing this, Daphany turned to Lupin, "So, then, Professor, please come to my manor in a few days." ”
Seeing Lupin nodding, Daphine turned to leave.
