In the evening, Hermione happily stood outside the Leaky Cauldron with Crookshank in her arms to say goodbye to Harley, while Mr. Granger waited in front of his car with a box full of books.

"See you on the train, Harry." Hermione waved goodbye and slipped into the car.

Hallie watched her leave before returning to the Leaky Cauldron.

……

Fast forward to September 1st, and Hallie arrived at King's Cross Station ahead of schedule.

Hedwig was released early by Hallie, and Sirius was held tightly by Hallie, for fear that the big dog would suddenly run away.

This time, Harley found a public restroom and became invisible in it before taking Sirius into King's Cross Station.

After all, the Scottish Deer Hound is still quite eye-catching with such a large size.

Harry's actions surprised Sirius, who couldn't have imagined that her goddaughter could spell without a wand, and that the spell effect was so good!

He couldn't do it with a wand!

After entering the platform of nine and three-quarters, Harley lifted her invisibility.

It was not yet half past eight, and the sun was shining on the empty platform.

The familiar Hogwarts Express was bathed in the morning sun and breeze.

Looking at the long-lost Hogwarts Express, Sirius had a sour nose and forced himself not to cry.

James, Lupin, Lily, Arthur, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore......

Familiar faces flashed before Sirius's eyes.

They stood or sat or held hands, looking at Sirius with smiles on their faces.

But now things are wrong.

Some have already embarked on the journey after death; And there are people who are alive, but they can't see themselves anymore.

If they really meet, they may kill them directly!

Sirius, though, didn't resent them for that.

Because he should have died on that night twelve years ago, he should have atoned for his mistakes.

The figure in Sirius's eyes quickly vanished, leaving only a small young man, a young man with a pointed nose and watery eyes.

He also had a smile on his face, the one Sirius had seen for the last time he saw him.

But in the eyes of Sirius now, this smile has sarcasm, mockery, and the meanness of a betrayer.

"Peter Pettigrew, damn Wormtail, the rat who betrayed Jaime and Lily!"

Sirius's heart burned with hatred,

"I will take you and take you to Jaime and Lily's grave and tear you to pieces to comfort their souls!"

Harley didn't know that the big dog next to her had so many images in her mind.

Once she got on the train, she made her way to her fixed box at the back of the train.

This made Sirius in a trance again, and his heart was full of nostalgia.

From the time they returned home at the end of the first semester, the four of them sat in that position until they graduated from the seventh grade.

Harley led Sirius outside the box, but slowed down halfway through the door.

Because there's already someone in this box. A middle-aged man was leaning against the window, looking out at the scenery.

The man wore a tattered wizard's robe with patches in several places.

He looked sickly, and silver strands had appeared in his light brown hair.

The hand he had placed on the table was slender, but its skin was pale and bloodless.

And on the luggage rack on the man's head, there was only a lonely, tattered little suitcase.

The box was patched like a man's robe, and the outer layer was neatly tied with rope.

Hallie keenly noticed a name printed on the corner of the box, "Remus John Lupin." ”

Hallie immediately apologized respectfully: "Sorry professor, I didn't know there was anyone in the box." ”

At this point, Harley already had some speculation about Lupin's identity, and he was probably the new professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts course.

But the alarm bells were already ringing in her heart.

On the one hand, Harley was wary that the man in front of her was transformed by Sirius with Transfiguration.

On the other hand, and most importantly, if Hallie is not mistaken, this thing in front of her is a werewolf!

When Harley was in the library, she was still interested in the information about vampires and werewolves.

After all, it is a creature that exists in both worlds, and Harley, as a witch, often deals with those shady things, so she is naturally very familiar with it.

This made Hallie very eager to find out what the difference was between the two.

To this end, Harley also deliberately used the magic mirror to help her recall the vampires and werewolves in the world of the sequence path.

To Hallie's surprise, vampires aside, many of the characteristics of werewolves in both worlds are similar.

It's just that in the world of the mysterious path, the werewolves of the xenomorph path can freely control whether they are werewolves or not, but the werewolves of the magic world cannot.

But that doesn't prevent them from having the same signs, such as the unusual distance between their noses and mouths.

"It's okay, I'm the only one in the box, you can sit too." Professor Lupin also noticed someone outside the door and whispered.

However, his voice revealed exhaustion, and although he was fighting spirit, he still couldn't hide his weakness.

When he saw that it was Hallie standing in the doorway, Professor Lupin was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise on his face, and then quickly returned to normal.

As if noticing that Hallie's muscles tensed slightly, and with his hands at the side of his body, Professor Lupin chuckled and reached into his arms.

In Harley's guard, Professor Lupin pulled out a piece of parchment that rippled, gently unfolded it, and placed it on the table:

"This is Professor Dumbledore's offer letter to me, stamped with the magical seal of Hogwarts and cannot be forged."

With a brief glance, Harley confirmed that this was true.

She let down some of her vigilance, but still paid some attention to Professor Lupin.

Of course, she is not prepared to expose the identity of Professor Lupin.

Harry didn't believe Professor Dumbledore didn't know that Lupin was a werewolf.

The greatest white wizards agree on something, what are you making a fuss about?

Despite this, Harley still complained in her heart, what the hell is Professor Dumbledore doing?

The position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, the first year is a dark wizard with the remnant soul of the Dark Lord, the second year is a thief who doesn't teach seriously, and the third year is a werewolf?

Then do you have to hire a Death Eater and a hypocritical toad who hides his identity, so that this position is full of poisons!

Hallie began to suspect that the rumor among the students was true, that the Defence Against the Dark Arts course had been cursed by Voldemort and that no one could teach it for more than a year.

And Professor Dumbledore wanted to use the curse to kill some of the people he couldn't afford to do.
