After a deep groan, Lupin leaned forward slightly, his chin was slightly chinned, and his expression was very sincere, but his inquiring gaze did not leave Alan's cheeks: "Alan, since this has come to this, what are you going to do next? I have also experienced the feeling of having no choice but to leave Hogwarts, it is really uncomfortable... Now it seems that I was lucky that I was taken in by you under the umbrella, and what about you, will you run the Ministry of Magic?"

Alan laughed, and he stared at Lupin for a while, "Dumbledore has always thought that he has given me a lot of favor and tolerance, and this idealist has been trying to manipulate my will until now for what he thinks is a greater good... Remus, do you think he's going to have his first success this time?"

"Alan, Dumbledore, fearing that you would go astray, completely gave up the opportunity offered by the purebloods to put him in charge of the Ministry of Magic. Professor Lupin tried to defend Dumbledore, "For Merlin's sake, can't you compromise once until the mystery man returns..."

"Then for the sake of my apprentice, why can't it be Dumbledore who compromises to me once?" Allen chuckled and continued to explain when he saw that Lupin was a little confused by the word 'my apprentice', The reason why Dumbledore just wanted to kick me out of Hogwarts and not deal with the Ministry of Magic was not only because he was afraid that I would be stimulated to take drastic measures to become the third generation of the Dark Lord, but also because he hoped that the Ministry of Magic could continue to be strong for the past few years, so that the struggle between Harris and the purebloods continued, and then he could control the balance of it, so as to achieve his ideal situation so that he could focus on dealing with the mysterious man... Every time Dumbledore had to choose between a situation like this, he always wanted to choose the one he looked the most beautiful..."

Lupin judged that Allen's attitude towards being in a disadvantaged position was wrong, and he asked even more worriedly, "Allen... What are you going to do?"

"Remus, instead of worrying about whether I will be stimulated to stop taking care of the law and do some illegal acts and become the third generation of the Dark Lord, you should worry that Dumbledore and his die-hard loyalists will not be stimulated and overdone when the time comes...... I imagine that Alastor Moody and Kingsley Shackle need your reassurance, and the Weasleys need your comfort......" Alan raised his glass to Professor Lupin and drank the butterbeer from his glass. In a sense, Draco's grandfather was right, Dumbledore and I were the same kind of people, he wanted to manipulate me to follow his plan, and I wanted to manipulate him to follow my plan, and now the situation is, I think I gave him enough time and leniency, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be going in the direction I want him to go... You don't have to keep our conversations confidential, you can tell anyone you want... In fact, I wish you could tell him that. ”

Lupin mechanically picked up his butterbeer glass, drank it down, and said goodbye to Alan before getting up, his usually sharp eyes not even noticing Hermione's return, and walked out of the bar door in a somewhat distraught manner.

Lupin revealed what Dumbledore said to Alan at the Order of the Phoenix, and the mental journey in the middle was really tormenting - originally Lupin habitually felt that although Dumbledore did not explain whether the conversation could be leaked, but at the internal meeting of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, he said that it meant secrecy, and he made a lot of determination to tell Alan the news, hoping that he would be mentally prepared not to do something bad- But as Alan had reminded, with Dumbledore's wisdom, could he really not have imagined that any of them who were close to the Harris family would reveal these words to Alan?

But right now, Alan actually said that he didn't need to hide his conversation with him, and he could tell anyone... This was a radical departure from Dumbledore's way of doing things, and it made Lupin aware of a more serious problem.

Alan had just admitted that he would not use violence to force others to submit... However, Harris is now so weak on the surface, how can Alan 'legitimately' resist the combination of the school board of the pure-blood family and Dumbledore, who is the headmaster of Hogwarts? Harris's speech, the Ministry's concessions and assertions of not interfering in the matter, Alan's self-confidence...

This contrast caused Lupin, who was walking on the path of Hogsmeade, to panic in his heart, and he unconsciously put the thumb of his left hand under his lips and moved back and forth in thought.

Hermione walked back and sat down when she asked, "Alan, Professor Lupin is here, did he reveal anything to you?"

"Remus revealed Dumbledore's plan to me, and while it didn't work, it didn't make that he made that choice, which shows that I'm not too much of a failure. Alan said with some half-jokingness.

"Alas, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix are good people, but it's a pity that they're too conservative in these matters... I really don't want things to come to this... But we have a greater goal and we have to do it..."Hermione's mood was also a little low, "Professor Lupin must not be happy to be caught in the middle, he must be guilty for telling us the news... So much so that he didn't even notice me when he left. ”

"Oh, that's probably because I told him something, too... I guess the Crazy Eye might think I'm bluffing, that he might be doing some useless investigation with Kingsley Shackle, and that Dumbledore might be suspicious and scruples... But because my promise that I wouldn't break the law might instead make him move faster..."Alan looked at the empty beer glass and hesitated to refill it, but his eyes rolled as Hermione, "But I allowed him to tell the Order of the Phoenix, count me as my last warning... Ah, there might be a reason for Remus to leave like that!"

Hermione was taken aback by Allen's surprise, "Uh-huh, what? what's wrong with Professor Lupin?"

Alan exaggeratedly pointed to Lupin's remaining empty cups and plates and said, "Remus didn't pay when he left! Maybe he asked us to hire him to escape the bill!"

"Don't be kidding! Lupin is paid a lot now..."Hermione nudged Alan and giggled before taking a sip of the untouched butterbeer on the table.

"Hermione, your cup is someone else's!"

"Poof!ahh

"Don't throw up! I'm kidding you!"

After making Hermione feel better, she went to the literati quill shop in Hogsmeade Village, where Hermione chose a few black and gold-looking pheasant quills of good quality as writing utensils.

Later, after eating a lot of snacks at Hogsmeade, Alan and Hermione didn't have any room for dinner after returning to Hogwarts, and after sending Hermione back to the Gryffindor common room, Alan went straight back to his office and began to prepare lesson plans for the next ancient magic class.

Allen, who is quite responsible for education, is very focused as soon as he puts himself into his work, and does not stop until there is a knock on his window, and Alan turns his head, and an owl with a strong and handsome appearance is knocking on the glass of the window with its claws.

Alan recognized it as the Weasley owl Lancelot, and since their family's financial situation improved, they bought the new owl as a messenger, and heard Arthur say that Lancelot and Ginevra, who had taken care of him since childhood, seemed to have a good relationship, and that Errol, who was too old to have poor eyesight and was often lost, was no longer sent out to deliver letters and began to retire in the Burrow.
