"I don't believe there's a single person in this castle who would help Blake in."

Despite Dumbledore's best efforts to persuade Snape to stop being hostile to Lupin.

But the painful memories of the past have not been reduced by half because of the growth of the years, but because of the years, the hatred has become deeper and deeper.

Here, again, Professor Dumbledore blames himself.

Just as his attention was all on Gellert, he neglected Tom's education and made him the new Dark Lord.

Snape's relationship with the Marauder Quartet was also his preoccupation with Voldemort's struggle.

He always does!

Doing one good thing will cause another thing to develop in a bad direction.

Back then, he had actually noticed the feud between Snape and Sirius.

But—as the two colleges fight endlessly.

He just thinks of it as a healthy competition for a young wizard.

I didn't take those things to heart.

It wasn't until Snape found out about Lupin's werewolf and nearly lost his life that he noticed that the four children's 'competition' had gone too far.

But by then it was already too late.

The hatred between several people has become irreconcilable.

As it is now.

————

"Which - since I was a child, my Ma Ma (crossed out) grandfather told me that it's not right to speak ill of people behind my back."

Owen and Professor Lupin got closer, and the Headmaster and Snape noticed them.

"Are you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Snape's gaze wandered over the two men, and finally locked on Lupin with a look of hatred.

"I don't think it's a very clever word to steal, look~ I have ears, you see~" said Owen, who opened his big gray Carslan eyes and gestured to his delicate ears.

"Shut up, Sanchez!" Snape turned his gaze to Owen, "I have to warn you not to stay with those unobtrusive, dangerous characters. ”

"Danger? Do you mean Professor Lupin? Owen glanced sideways at Lupin, who had a flat face beside him, and said, "The professor looks kind and amiable, I don't see any danger." ”

"At that time, I didn't know his true face!" Snape said in disgust: "When you know the truth, you will understand how stupid the quibbles are now!" ”

"Alright, Severus." Dumbledore stopped him. "Owen, you go tell the Hufflepuff students to come to the auditorium."

"Okay professor, no problem professor!"

With that, Owen walked towards the spiral staircase, and when he was about to step up the stone staircase, he looked back to see Dumbledore, Snape, and Lupin still standing there, not knowing what they were talking about.

Mo about ten minutes later.

The young wizards of the four academies gathered in the auditorium.

Owen also deliberately ran to the library to remind Hermione, who was having her head down, to go to the auditorium.

In the process, he retracted his research topic.

Looking at Hermione, who was full of question marks, confused, numb-eyed, and dumbfounded, Owen sighed and shook his head.

I have long said that if you haven't graduated from high school, don't mix with graduate school's homework, you have to listen.

Now it's good!

I've been hit!

———

In the auditorium, the little wizards were talking to each other in confusion.

The chattering didn't stop until Dumbledore came in.

Originally, Owen thought that the old headmaster might be telling the students about Azkaban.

Since Sirius found out that the prison was empty, the Ministry of Magic must have known about it as well.

According to Fudge's temperament, it is estimated that he didn't even have time to wear his pants overnight before he came to Hogwarts. A handful of snot and a handful of tears asked Dumbledore what to do about this!

But the truth is that the old headmaster only reminded the young wizards that the guard around the castle has been narrowed a little.

The number of Dementors may need to increase a bit.

This made the little wizard a little confused, first of all, Dumbledore was disgusted with the power of the Demon Law Department reaching into Hogwarts.

Besides, it's still a Dementor thing.

The train attack is still vivid!

Why is it that the number of monsters has increased instead of decreasing?

Besides, there is no need to gather everyone to the auditorium for this kind of thing!

Wouldn't it be enough for the deans to announce it in the lounge?

"Strange!" Owen stroked his chin and his eyes fell on Dumbledore.

The Ministry of Magic shouldn't be able to hold down something that big.

After all, escaping from Sirius would have already caused the entire British wizarding world to jump. Now the whole of Azkaban is empty.

The wizarding world is not allowed to explode in place?

The Dark Wizards who escaped were not good men and women, and their misdeeds would definitely have a serious impact on the British wizarding world.

It is estimated that the Daily Prophet will run the news tomorrow.

This is Owen's guess.

After the auditorium service.

He watched as the old principal and the professors left through the small door by the rostrum.

Even Wenda, who has a divine dragon in sight, is among them.

Uh-that's weird!

Hogwarts Monsters!

Ministry of Magic Monster!

Dumbledore is even weirder!

Did he even pretend to be Grindelwald?

Every time Wenda and the headmaster show up together, Owen feels this sense of déjà vu!

And it's getting stronger!

A few days afterward.

The chaos that Owen had expected did not materialize.

He hadn't even seen anything in the newspapers about Azkaban.

Someone seems to have bought him a hot search.

All kinds of reports about him went on for nearly a month.

Letters from various newspapers and magazines began to arrive at Hogwarts.

Due to Dumbledore's request, no reporter was allowed to enter the castle.

But they can still exchange letters and complete interviews.

One month!

Even Owen, the king of sassy words, has nothing to share. Those interviews are about to write out what he ate today.

Finally, after October.

News of the attack on the wizard appeared in the newspapers.

He finally got off the hot search!

Huh~~~ The hot search is like a besieged city, people outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out.

Thinking that the depth charges were about to go off, Owen subscribed to the Daily Prophet for a month.

But all about the Wizard being attacked.

In the newspapers, but it's all that kind of understatement.

It's like some kind of urban legend!

There is really news that can't be suppressed, and if there is a serious magic incident, they will blame Sirius.

He has now become the royal trash can of the Ministry of Magic, and any accusation against the murderer that cannot be found is likely to fall on his head.

In the days of mid-September, Owen sent a letter to Lucius.

Remind him that it's time to 'invest' in the next Minister of Magic.

In light of the current situation, he speculates that the once hardliner Barty Crouch may be making a comeback.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Barty Krach Jr. colluded with the Death Eaters, and the father and son killed their father with filial piety.

However, on the merits, it is very likely that Batikracz will make a comeback.

Whatever the final outcome is, Fudge's tenure has begun to count down.

Owen doesn't think he'll survive this Christmas.

After all, it's British!

It's a tradition to quit your job at Christmas.

——————

As Halloween approached, all the talk at school was about Sirius Black.

The discussion focused on how wicked and cruel he was.

Even the condemnation of him surpassed Voldemort for a while.

It has long been believed that Harry's godfather is the most evil dark wizard of the moment.

And Irving, of course, will not sit back and watch Black's reputation continue to be tarnished by this group of little pimps.

And then - he directs and plays a scene where Sirius infiltrates Hogwarts when he is attacked by Black on a rainy night.

Overall, the results are fantastic!

For a week, no little wizard dared to 'slander' Blake in public, and they were all afraid that the 'dark wizard' hidden in the shadows was beside them, and if they 'heard' their 'accusation', they would definitely attack themselves in anger.

However, although it was not in public, in private, this discussion did not end, but became more and more outrageous.

For example, Owen had heard several versions of the story of the little wolf visiting Hogwarts in the morning, and in their stories, Blake could be invisible, disguised, pierced through walls, hidden in the shadows, transformed into other things, and so on.

It's even more powerful than Voldemort.

Even Justin, the silly boy, swore that he had witnessed Blake transform into a clump of irises.

Susan's silly girl also helped, saying that she had seen it too.

Subsequently, under Owen's care, both men admitted that they might just be mistaken.

Maybe Shylock was catching mice in the grass.

In addition to the rumors that are spreading more and more, there are many things that have changed inside the castle.

For example, they seem to have returned to the vigilance of last year, when young wizards were forbidden to wander around the castle alone, to get out of bed at night, and to go to the surrounding forests.

It is estimated that it will not be long before they are banned from the castle, just like last year.

"Abaaba~~~"

On Friday, the penultimate week of October, Owen came out of the second greenhouse.

It took him a lot of effort to show Professor Sprout the Emperor's Uncle Three-Trick Cottage, so that his throat was smoking, and she reluctantly agreed to borrow three new varieties of Brussels sprouts for his experiments.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Owen spent almost all of his spare time experimenting with the three brussels sprouts.

After a busy week, the results are remarkable!

You~ guess what?

Hey~ Four died.

The extra one was stolen by him.

Professor Sprout didn't almost faint out of breath, but because Owen had always had a good image in her mind, and because he had won honor for Hufflepuff this year, she just changed the locks on the two greenhouses and moved into the second greenhouse, so she didn't pursue Owen again.

Just now, he was begging the professor to reward him with a few plants for experiments, and Professor Sprout was directly kicked out

"What are you doing there? It can't be trying to steal the money in the merit box! ”

Passing by the doorway, Owen unexpectedly noticed that Ron was standing in front of Godric Gryffindor's statue and underestimating something.

Immediately, he was vigilant and hurriedly ran over.

"Are you poor and crazy? You dare to steal the incense money of your founder, be careful that he makes you unable to complete your business! ”

"What do you say?" Ron's fists were clenched tightly, and his expression was hideous, as if someone had unraveled the dead mouse in his presence.

Yes, since Ron lost his beloved little mouse, this thing has become more and more in the direction of the dark wizard.

Look at the murderer who steals his rats!

The whole crowd was quite speechless.

Who is idle and panicked, what are you doing stealing your rats?

"Snape told me to wipe Salazar Slytherin's statue, and I wasn't allowed to use magic!" He looked back at the other statue diagonally opposite Godric Gryffindor, "Merlin's beard, why didn't Merlin show up and let Blake appear in Snape's office, so he could be like a hero, but at that moment he was a hero to take the old bat for us!" ”

“？”

What a way to punish it!

Learned, learned, learned!

In the future, if the Slytherin wizard is not happy, let him wipe the statue of Godric Gryffindor.

"I remember, didn't you Gryffindor have a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with Slytherin this morning?" Then, he asked.

"Good question!" Ron snorted, "Guess who I saw in Defence Against the Dark Arts class this morning?"

Snape!

Do you think it's a tragedy?

No!

The real tragedy is that I have to see him again in the afternoon!

Because the afternoon is a potions lesson with the Slytherins! Merlin's beard! This year has been unlucky! ”

"Snape? Going to make a cameo appearance as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor again? Owen was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the days of Professor Lupin's month.

"It's okay, at least half of your wish will come true."

"What?" Ron asked, frowning.

"Don't you know? Of course, the Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts professor will bring misfortune. It's okay to substitute once or twice, but after a long time, the professor of this course will definitely lose his life in the end! ”

"I'm not kidding Owen. Professor Lupin did not come to class. It must have been Snape's doing, do you remember Hermione saying the other day that she saw that he was mixing a potion for Professor Lupin, and he must have put something in that potion?! Ron stared at him earnestly and said gloomily.

"Uh- I'm curious why Hermione saw Snape mixing potions for Lupin. Good guy stealing Snape's treasure stealing addicted back! ”

"What to steal~" Ron was startled.

He stared at Owen in amazement.

I can't help but be shocked!

Did Owen know about Hermione's brewing of the Polyjuice decoction last year?

At this moment, Harry also emerged from the front of the Great Hall, holding a black, oily cloth that Filch probably used to wipe the toilets.

Owen guessed.

Behind him, Hermione followed, a basin of water floating beside her.

She looked at her leisurely, and the wandless levitation charm became more and more proficient.

Sure enough, after giving up reading comprehension of her experiment's titles, she got her life back!

"I just happened to see it! Don't slander me! Hermione placed the basin of water at Ron's feet, and said in a serious manner.

"And, Ron! No matter how bad Snape was, he couldn't have poisoned the other professors. ”

"How is it impossible, and it is not fatal, he is a master of potions, and it is not too simple to control the dosage of the point, for example, to make Professor Lupin unable to get out of bed in the morning." Ron shouted, "He's always wanted to teach this class, see what he's done in class, spend half a class criticizing Professor Lupin's teaching methods, and then spend the rest of the class asking us an inexplicable question." ”

"Werewolf!"

Ron then complained, "Snape kept asking us how to identify werewolves, as if he had been attacked by a werewolf, and told first-year Quirrell that he had been attacked by a vampire. And Hermione knew the answer, he just wouldn't let her answer, and kept asking Harry, making trouble for Harry, and I couldn't help it, so I asked him if he didn't want to know the answer, then why did he keep asking us. ”

"And then."

"And then you're going to wipe the statue?" Owen teased.

Ron, however, as if he didn't see Owen's playful look, turned his head to look at Godric's statue, then clasped his hands into fists, and continued to make a wish there: "Blake appears in Snape's office, Blake appears in Snape's office, and Blake appears in Snape's office." ”

“.”

"At least Snape taught us something useful." Hermione had a different idea about it, "Look at Quirrell in first year, and. . Lockhart, at least Snape has the real stuff. ”

"Oh! Thank you, Hermione, for remembering that Lockhart was a piece of waste without real material. After throwing the mouse, Ron, who had been in a deep state of rage, sneered, and then replied.

“.” The little witch's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression became unkind, "Are you looking for a beating?" ”

Hermione, who was a great (wandless spellcaster), was not used to him.

As the house battles intensified at Hogwarts, everyone became irritable.

"Huh!" Ron snorted weakly, and then, no more.

He silently took the cloth from Harry's hand, picked up the basin at his feet, and walked towards the statue he hated.

"This guy! Isn't it just a mouse? I don't know what crazy it is, it's been two months. Hermione glared at Ron's back and returned to the matter of werewolves: "I'm going to study the transformation of the werewolf, he should be somewhat similar to Animagus, my transfiguration has hit a bottleneck, Professor McGonagall said, I still can't understand the knowledge of the senior year." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Owen.

Then he continued, "But I'm going to teach myself for a while. ”

"Hermione, are you looking for a werewolf to study?" Harry's eyes widened.

In fact, what he really wants to say is, can you stop rolling, having Owen roll alone has already made him very panicked, and now you have to continue.

What made Harry even more indignant was that Owen just wouldn't tell him about Sirius' relationship with him.

Obviously he knows everything.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Owen, he would have ——— long ago

Harry's eyes darkened as he looked at Owen.

- I thought we were friends.

"Of course I wouldn't be that stupid!" Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry, then the book in her hand quickly turned the pages, and then she pointed to a paragraph on a page and said, "I need to distinguish between a werewolf and a normal wizard first." ”

"Uh-huh--every month I will be weak, and my body will be scarred by my own bite, and the full moon will transform, and the transformation will last all night, and the most feared thing is the moon."

"Huh?"

In a trance, Hermione suddenly remembered that in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Lupin was standing in front of the Boggart, and his greatest fear seemed to be the moon.

In addition, he disappears one day a month, and although he comes back the next day without any scars, now that I think about it, it seems that he left on the day of the full moon every month.

In an instant, a hint of suspicion and panic flashed in Hermione's chestnut eyes.

"Wait a minute!"

"I'll cash you out! Miss Granger! ”

"Are you about to make some racist remarks?" Owen said with a mocking look and tone, "I advise you to be kind! ”

"Me"

"What happened to the werewolf? Elves can have human rights, but werewolves don't, right? ”

"But." Hermione was obviously not persuaded by Owen, after all, elves would not attack wizards wantonly.

"But? What is there! Owen interrupted her, "Excuse me, if a wizard Animagus becomes an animal, is it because he transforms into an animal, does he have no human rights?" You double standard, you!

Besides, most of the werewolves are also victims, and most of them are forced to become werewolves after being attacked by other werewolves, so you can't discriminate against them just because it's something like 'spreading a disease'! ”

"I think you're quibbling, and did you already know - he's a werewolf?" Hermione stared at Owen solemnly, her eyes full of scrutiny.

"Heh—I know a lot. I also knew Fudge was stepping down! ”

"Fudge? He's stepping down? Hermione looked suspicious, the wizarding world has been a bit strange lately, but it's not so bad that Fudge is going to step down!

"Wait!" Owen swore by it.

Hermione, of course, didn't believe what Owen said, she was absolutely just a ploy the guy used to change the subject.

However, she really didn't want to tell anyone that Professor Lupin was a werewolf, and Owen was right about that, Professor Lupin was also a victim, and he was a friendly person, not like the legendary murderous werewolf.

"What are you talking about?" Harry's face was dazed, and he realized that the two people were in front of him, but he couldn't understand a word of what was said.

"Besides, the godfather of the dog is about to become a Grindelwald!"

“？？？”

"Any aspiring youth should join the saints! Harry, by the time you're fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen, you'll be thinking about becoming a glorious saint! When the time comes, your introducer will be me, well-hmm-I'll pay the initiation fee later. ”

"Heh—" At the mention of money, Harry immediately became agitated, the wrinkles on his brow were loosened, his feet became lighter, and his whole body regained some vitality.

His little coffers had been irritated by Owen, and Harry didn't want to run out of money before he graduated.

Then, he turned around and went to help Ron wipe the statue.

"Sure enough, when it comes to money, everyone changes their faces in an instant, right?"

Owen pulled his lips at the mouth, full of joy.

You little fool, you're about to become a rich second generation

Uh-knock, this product was originally a rich second generation.

You're about to become the second generation of rich people, do you still care about that bit of gold?

Can the rich still be negative?

Kill you!
