Listening to the twins' words, Hermione staggered on the flat ground in surprise, but fortunately Harley helped her in time.

Hermione let go of Hallie's hand and asked curiously, "Have you discovered Professor Lupin's identity?" I thought I was the only one who found out! ”

"Don't think of others as stupid, Hermione." George grinned and shook his fingers,

"Fred and I didn't get good grades, but we just weren't very good at the exams."

"When it comes to putting what we've learned into practice, we're definitely in the top 10 in school."

"So what do you ...... Didn't report Professor Lupin? Hermione hesitated before asking.

"Then why didn't you report Lupin?" Fred asked rhetorically,

"Is it because of Dumbledore? Dumbledore chose to let Lupin teach us, and then Lupin would be fine. ”

"We trust Dumbledore, and we don't think he's going to ignore a werewolf."

Hermione nodded thoughtfully, then explained to the twin brothers the other two nicknames.

Sirius had already paid the fine anyway and published in the newspapers the identity of the ninth Animagus of the century.

So it didn't matter if Hermione said it.

After listening, George asked thoughtfully, "Hermione, you've already said three nicknames, so who is there another wormtail?" ”

"It's the traitor who was reported in the newspapers lately, Peter Pettigrew." Harley suddenly interjected into the conversation,

"He had a very good relationship with my dad, and Sirius and Professor Lupin, and they made this map together."

Fred and George immediately stopped talking.

After a few seconds of silence, the two began to discuss their newly designed prank product loudly and asked for Harley and Hermione's opinion.

The four of them walked and talked, and when they finally entered the auditorium, a huge round dining table was already in the center of the auditorium.

Professor Dumbledore and the four Deints, as well as Administrator Filch, sat around the table.

"Merry Christmas! Sit down. Professor Dumbledore smiled and said, "Harry, thank you for the gift, it's much better than the others." ”

"Remus is a little uncomfortable, so he can't come to today's banquet. And Sirius decided to accompany him. ”

"Luckily Severus boiled him medicine, how lucky he was, wasn't it?"

Professor Snape nodded coldly, without any expression on his face.

"Professor, shouldn't Uncle Remus be uncomfortable the day after tomorrow?" Harley asked curiously, as she counted the date.

Professor Dumbledore nodded:

"I'd love to know, too, but Remus suddenly felt uncomfortable."

He felt that he could come up at any moment with Sirius's hairy little problem, so he didn't want to come to the Christmas party, but stayed in the office.

"I'll monitor this closely, and hopefully there won't be any big mess." As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore glanced at Snape quietly.

Listening to the conversation between Dumbledore and Harry, Professor Snape's heart suddenly panicked.

He was a little skeptical, it couldn't be the wolf poison potion he had brewed, right?

No, the leaves of the sad grass mixed with the nectar of the crazy flower will only cause extremely severe pain to the mind of the user, and will not affect the efficacy of the medicine.

It can't be an unknown reaction, right? By the way, it seems that he did add twice the amount of poisonous tentacles, and it is indeed possible to weaken the medicinal properties of the wolf poison potion.

Professor Snape wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't care about Lupin and Sirius, who accompanied him.

It didn't matter if the wolf poison didn't work, anyway, he didn't like the damn werewolf and the big black dog, and he wanted the two of them to die together.

But if Lupin hurts Harley because the wolf poison potion fails, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

After much thought, Professor Snape decided that when he returned to his office, he would remake the original Wolf Poison Potion, without adding those wonderful little ingredients.

Soon, two more first-year Hufflepuffs came to the banquet, and then no one else showed up.

This year's Dementors outside the castle are even more intimidating to the students than last year's Basilisk.

After all, the basilisk picks a random attack from all the people in the castle, and is also defaulted to not attacking purebloods.

Dementors, on the other hand, are equally terrifying for everyone.

They can't get into the castle, but if they can't sneak out of Hogwarts Castle to play, why stay here for Christmas?

"Professor, aren't the elective teachers coming?" Hermione asked curiously after Professor Dumbledore announced the start of the banquet,

"Speaking of which, I've never seen them attend any banquets other than the opening dinner and the year-end party."

"Oh, that's normal." Professor Dumbledore said with a smile, "Most of our elective professors are masters of their own fields, and they usually have a lot of research. ”

"They're willing to come to Hogwarts, basically not for the job, but for the Hogwarts platform."

"During the holidays, they basically leave the castle and go to their own research, so they don't attend banquets."

Before Professor Dumbledore could finish speaking, the door to the Great Hall opened.

Professor Trelawney, dressed in green squires covered in metallic sequins, slid over like a skateboard.

Hallie faintly heard the creak of the Professor's car spinning under the long run, and determined what tool Professor Trelawney had borrowed.

She glanced at Professor Trelawney in amazement, but she didn't expect that Professor Trelawney was still a skateboarder.

Professor Dumbledore stood up, "Sybil, what a surprise! We were talking about you! ”

"I told the kids, you're doing research. So they're still speculating if you're going to come. ”

"Oh, Headmaster." Professor Trelawney said in her most ethereal voice,

"Indeed, I didn't want to come, after all, I have more important research, and I want to dispel the scourge that looms over Hogwarts."

"However, after this great work, I happened to see myself join you in your banquet as fate would have come."

"Now that fate has shown everything, why should I not join you?"

Professor McGonagall coughed vigorously twice, her eyebrows slightly raised:

"Oh, Sybil, I'm curious how you managed to dispel the scourge that looms over Hogwarts?"

The expression on Professor Trelawney's face was no longer pompous, she glanced at Professor McGonagall very indifferently, and her voice was much more real:

"There are always some people who doubt the ability of a master prophecy like me, and this is normal, after all, they have no talent and no spirituality."

"They won't understand how a master of prophecy like me can spy on fate and guide those who favor it to do everything."

Professor McGonagall snorted through her nose, "That's hard work, Sybil. ”

Seeing that Professor Trelawney was about to break his ethereal skills and fight Professor McGonagall in the real world, Professor Dumbledore hurriedly stood up:

"Sit down, Sybil! Well, I'll have to get you a chair. ”

As he spoke, he waved his wand, and a chair appeared in the air and landed on the ...... Between Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall.

Everyone else endured it hard, but the Weasley twins couldn't bear it anymore and just laughed out loud.

What is a Master of Arch Fire?

This act is comparable to that of the International Federation of Wizards, where the British and French representatives are seated together.

It's no wonder that the two sides don't fight!

Wait, Hallie suddenly remembered that Professor Dumbledore also seemed to be the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, and had the right to arrange seats for representatives of various countries.

Seeing Professor Dumbledore so proficient, Harry felt like she had spotted a blind spot.

Sure enough, Professor Trelawney didn't sit down directly, but glared at Fred and George.

Then she blinked her big eyes and glanced around the table.

The next second, Professor Trelawney covered his heart, and suddenly let out a low scream:

"I don't dare, Headmaster! If I sat down at the table, it would be thirteen! This is the most unlucky! ”

"As the thirteenth person, when the first person on my left stands up, there will be absolutely ominous encounters!"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the empty space on her right, and was about to speak when Professor Trelawney suddenly slipped backwards.

She was so involved in the drama that she forgot that she was stepping on the ...... under her feet Skateboard.

Professor Trelawney lost his balance and rushed towards the gate.

Luckily, Harley was quick and used spider silk to pull Professor Trelawney back.

"Thank you, kid." Professor Trelawney whispered as he regained his footing, dragging his chair to sit between Harley and Hermione.

However, Hermione seemed to be a little heavy, and the stool couldn't move, so Professor Trelawney didn't succeed.

She switched to the other side of Hallie and unceremoniously pushed Fred out of the way.

Professor Trelawney sat down in his chair and continued to wrap his robe over his skateboard.

"Let's eat it, the turkey is cold as a stone." Professor Dumbledore said, taking the lead with a large piece of honey pie.

However, Professor Trelawney did not start immediately, but chatted with Hallie:

"Thank you, child, for the loss of too much power as I dispelled the darkness that hung over Hogwarts."

"You know, I've been watching the past and future of this planet through a crystal ball with my eyes of heaven."

"I saw evil approaching, and I saw three stars twinkling abnormally, bringing weirdness and anger."

"But with my full effort, everything is back to normal."

Harley kept a smile on her face and rolled her eyes inwardly.

Professor Trelawney doesn't think of himself as a child, does he? This kind of lie...... A three-year-old wizard wouldn't believe it!

Seeing that Hallie did not react, Professor Trelawney continued to brag about himself in a vague, ethereal voice.

Professor McGonagall couldn't stand it, after all, most of the students present were his own students, and Professor McGonagall couldn't let the students be "badly influenced".

So at the following Christmas dinner, Professor Trelawney and Professor McGonagall continued their previous verbal exchange that had not been decided.

Professor McGonagall is sharp, well-reasoned, and mixed with the yin and yang weirdness that he learned from Professor Snape;

Professor Trelawney, on the other hand, gave full play to his skills as a soothsayer, and every sentence was hazy, not answering positively, and frantically boasting about himself, secretly belittling Professor McGonagall.

Sure enough, from the time Professor Trelawney predicted Professor McGonagall's death, the two men really became old enemies.

However, Professor Trelawney is really very skilled, and in addition to fighting with Professor McGonagall, she also killed four bottles of sherry by herself.

And then consider Professor Trelawney's excellent skateboarding skills...... It can only be said that the professor is really versatile.

Hallie seriously suspected that Professor Trelawney had smelled wine upstairs and was willing to come to the Christmas feast.

As soon as Hallie stood up after the dinner, Professor Trelawney suddenly screamed loudly:

"My dear! How did you just stand up! You're going to be in for a bad ...... I mean dangerous! I've seen it with my eyes! ”

However, Hallie didn't need to respond, as Professor McGonagall had already made a killer move and began to ask Professor Trelawney if she could see next year's budget with her own vision.

At this point, Professor Trelawney could no longer maintain his ethereal voice, and he no longer resisted.

She grabbed two unopened bottles of sherry from the table and quickly slipped out of the auditorium.

After the Christmas feast, Harley and Hermione did not go back to their dorm room, but made their way to Professor Lupin's office to see Professor Lupin.

In his office, Professor Lupin and Sirius sat across from each other, munching on turkey legs and eating lamb chops.

I don't know why, the way two people gnaw meat...... It's very bold, and I don't know if it's influenced by werewolves and black dogs.

After seeing the two children come in, Professor Lupin also subconsciously put down the lamb chops to maintain his image, while Sirius had already given up on himself and didn't care about his image.

"Godfather, Uncle Remus, Merry Christmas." Harley greeted, "Why didn't you drink?" ”

"Who wanted Remus to drink the wolf poison potion? To make sure there are no surprises, drink some pumpkin juice. ”

As he spoke, Sirius raised the pumpkin juice in his hand and took another big sip.

This made Harley a little embarrassed, and the hand that had already touched the flame whiskey pulled out of his pocket.

As soon as Hermione sat down, she immediately cared about Professor Lupin, "Professor, what do you think?" ”

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Professor Lupin smiled and shook the chicken leg in his hand, "It's just that I have a hunch that the time to become a werewolf may be earlier." ”

"Ahead of schedule?" Harley repeated softly.

"Yes," Professor Lupin nodded, "Normally, it would be a werewolf on the night of the full moon, and it will be weak for a while. ”

"But this time I have a hunch that it is very likely that we will remain in the state of a werewolf for a day before and after the full moon."
