Chapter 118: Lupin: It's good that I came early

After dinner, Lupin later went to Hagrid's hut, where he asked Hagrid to help him find some teaching materials from the Forbidden Forest.

After discussing the teaching supplies, Lupin chatted with Hagrid over tea and rocky cakes.

Lupin knew the power of Hagrid's crust cake, and he didn't want to gnaw on it even if he turned into a werewolf.

"Harry and Ron were here some time ago," Hagrid quickly turned the conversation to Harry and the others, "Ron's pet Spotted ran to me and hid. Ron said he was frightened by Hermione's cat, and it was skinny. He had thought that Spotted had been eaten by Crookshan, Hermione's cat, and the two of them had nearly broken up. The mouse was so old that it was missing a finger from its paw, and I had never seen a mouse that lived like it for more than a decade. ”

"Lived for more than ten years? Still missing a finger? Lupin furrowed his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, what a poor fellow. Ron told him that it was Percy's pet at first, and that Percy gave him Spotted when Ron was in his first year. Hagrid said to Lupin.

In the world that followed, Lupin seemed a little uneasy, and a thought that had never arisen in his mind made him shiver.

Soon, Lupin found an excuse to leave Hagrid's cabin.

Lupin made it to the common room of the Lion House and did not find Ron, nor Harry nor Percy.

When he wanted to go to Zhang Xu to borrow the map of the living point, he found that Zhang Xu was also missing.

While Lupin was running around the castle looking for someone, a man who had cast an illusion spell on himself followed him.

Finally, Lupin knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

"What's going on, Lupin." Professor McGonagall asked in confusion as she saw Lupin walk in in a panic.

"Professor McGonagall, do you know where Harry and Ron are?" Lupin asked.

Professor McGonagall looked at Lupin for a moment, then replied, "They should be screaming at the shack." ”

Lupin visibly froze at this place, and after bidding farewell to Professor McGonagall, hurried to the Screaming Shack.

The Screaming Shack was a place that Lupin was familiar with, and he spent a few days of the month during his seven years at Hogwarts.

On the way to the Screaming Shack, Lupin worries if Harry and Ron will run into Blake.

The secret passage that leads to Hogwarts is known to Blake, and Lupin guesses that Blake infiltrated Hogwarts the first two times, and took this secret passage.

Although he didn't know why Harry and Ron had gone to the Screaming Shack, or why Professor McGonagall acquiesced to their actions, Lupin was worried that Blake's encounter with Speckled in the Screaming Shack would cause a lot of trouble.

Just as Lupin came out of the secret passage, he found that his brain seemed to be running out.

Looking at the delicacies on the table in the hall and the large group of students gathered together, Lupin couldn't figure out when the Screaming Shack had become the place where the students organized a banquet.

At this time, the students who were watching something noticed Lupin's arrival.

"Professor Lupin."

The students greeted Lupin awkwardly. Today's banquet is theoretically against the school rules, even if Zhang Xu comes out, if he is discovered, he can't say it. If Lupin were to deduct points for this today, the scores of the four houses would definitely be emptied.

"Why are you here, Professor Lupin?" Fred Weasley, who had just come out of the kitchen, beckoned to Lupin with a knife, "Just in time, let's eat dog meat together." You don't know, this dog is so fierce that it pounced on Ron as soon as he came in, and it took us a lot of effort to knock him out. ”

Hearing Fred's greeting, Lupin walked into the hall with a confused expression.

Lupin saw that the tables and chairs near the gate had been overturned, and plates, cups, and various dishes and drinks had been spilled on the floor.

A very familiar black dog was hung upside down in the kitchen, seemingly fainting, with a large plate under its head.

Lupin looked at the kitchen knife in Fred's hand, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

On the chair in the hall, Ron, who looked frightened, clutched his chest pocket and looked at Lupin, who was "ticking" on his body.

Lupin pulls out a compass-like object from his pocket, and the pointer on it keeps swinging between Black Dog and Ron, while also making a "tick-tick" sound.

Looking at the alarm of the Animagus detector, Lupin confirmed his suspicions.

"Put him down, Fred." Lupin said to Fred, "He's my friend. ”

"Alright, Professor Lupin." Fred said disappointedly.

Tonight's dog meat feast escaped, and everyone thought it was Lupin's pet in Hogsmeade. If Lupin hadn't appeared, everyone would have eaten it. But the owner of the dog appeared, and it was not good for everyone to eat someone's dog in front of the owner.

Everyone was relieved to see that Lupin did not mean to deduct points.

"Ron, can you show me Spotted?" Lupin said as he turned to Ron.

Ron looked at Lupin nervously, not knowing what to do. The black dog just now was obviously coming for Spotted, and if he hadn't grabbed Spotted in time and stuffed it into his pocket, it would have been bitten to death by the black dog. Now Lupin asks him for Spotted again, which makes him nervous.

"Give him Spotted, Ron." Zhang Xu, who had been eating apple pie on the side, said to Ron, "Banban has some problems, Professor Lupin won't look for him today, and I will let you bring him to me tomorrow." ”

Zhang Xu took out an Animagus detector that was exactly the same as Lupin's hand and handed it to Ron, saying, "This is a detector that can detect nearby Animagus, and I found out just now that it reacts to your spots." ”

Stunned, Ron took the detector in Zhang Xu's hand and found that it did sense the spots in his pocket.

Just then, Spotted sprang out of Ron's pocket and ran towards the gate.

An empty beer glass suddenly appeared in front of Spotted, filled it in at once, and then slammed it upside down on the long table.

At the same time, the students let out a burst of exclamations.

The black dog, who had just been dragged out of the kitchen by Fred, was turning into an adult man.

A man with dirty, tangled hair hanging down to his elbows and a sloppy body stood up from the ground.

Zhang Xu found that it seemed that Blake was not as thin as a skeleton as Ron had said before, and there seemed to be some flesh on his body.
