Chapter 173: Please help
"Actually, there's one more thing..."
Remus smiled wryly, impressed by the old spiciness, wisdom of the young man in front of him.
"Sit down, Remus."
Although Professor Snape had been given a fancy hat by the best friend for whom Timles had to avenge his must, Amosta didn't want to be too narrow-minded.
Remus hesitated, nodded gratefully at Amosta, and sat down across from him.
Although he was respected by those children at school, Lupin never forgot that in the wizarding world, he was just an unwelcome werewolf, like Amosta, who knew his identity as a werewolf and was willing to communicate with him calmly.
"There's something else to do with me, Amosta, it's me who wants you to do me a favor--"
Amosta listened quietly with his hands on his chin, not commenting for a moment.
"You know, Amosta, before the full moon is full, I'm going to be a werewolf--" Remus said calmly, "Normally, after becoming a werewolf, I'll be very aggressive, and naturally I won't be able to go to class. ”
"You want me to do it for you a few days a month?" Amosta's eyebrows moved.
"As for the teaching during this period, Dumbledore and I have already made up our minds during the summer vacation that Professor Snape will take over for the time being."
Amosta smiled, after so many years, his old professor was finally able to live the addiction of a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
"--Early next month will be my first full moon since I entered Hogwarts, and in a few days I will start taking a small dose of diluted wolf poison as instructed by Professor Snape, but he told me that since I had never taken it before, it is not ruled out that it may not have been as good as I thought... So, I reported it to Albus, you know, Amosta, if I get out of control at school, what a terrible thing it will be, I can't take any risk..."
Remus said very calmly, as if he wasn't talking about himself at all.
Amosta was silent for a moment, then squinted his eyes and smiled,
"So, the wise Dumbledore must have given you a good piece of advice, right?"
"Albus suggested that I find a wizard with great mana, so that I could watch over me for those two days--" Lupin looked earnestly at the young wizard across the table,
"So I immediately thought of you, Amosta... It's true that Minerva and Filius are both excellent wizards, but to be honest, if I really go crazy, even if they can subdue me, I'm afraid I'll get hurt... Albus has a lot to worry about every day, and I can't bear to bother him anymore..."
Have a lot to worry about every day? Amosta rolled her eyes, was she worried about finding more delicious candy or was she worried about calculating people?
No..., isn't that already counting on me again?
Although Lupin has a lot of social experience, but in essence, he is a kind werewolf, and he doesn't want to think too badly of others, he thinks that Dumbledore is just a thoughtful proposal, but Amosta, who is also full of thoughts, can see at a glance, Dumbledore is using the topic to play... He was testing if he would want to have anything to do with Hogwarts again.
"If you will come to my office every month, on the day of the full moon, look at you, Amosta," Remus said pleadingly,
"I will be grateful!"
Remus sincerely asked, it seemed that he had quickly integrated into the position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
To be honest, Amosta is quite relieved to see the 'juniors' so attentive, but... The effect of the wolf venom potion 'varies from wolf to wolf'?
Amosta's attainment in potions is not as good as Professor Snape, who has been immersed in this art for most of his life, but in order to make money in those years, his level has also been honed quite well, and in the years after graduation, he has not fallen behind in this craft... Therefore, this statement is mostly Professor Snape's little trick, but I didn't expect it to be used by Dumbledore, who is good at seeing and inserting needles...
"I refuse--"
Amosta said lazily, but before Remus could show his disappointed expression, he continued, "I don't think I need to go to Hogwarts, you can stay with me on the two days of the full moon." ”
The fine lines of Remus's face unfurled, and his expression became as bright as the sun.
There was a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson in fifth grade this morning, and he had to take Hagrid for a while, and after thanking him sincerely, Remus was led by Amosta to the bedroom.
"Zombie Floating--"
Remus pulled out his wand and said a word to Hagrid on the bed, and then Hagrid, who was sleeping soundly, was forcibly pulled from the bed with an invisible rope tied to his wrists, neck, and knees.
And Amosta looked at the bed board that was already obviously sunken, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"By the way, Amosta--"
Before stepping out of the living room, Remus glanced at the Daily Prophet spread out on the table,
"Albus told me that the wizard who tried to break into the Black family mansion last night was not Black, but probably a dark wizard who coveted a bounty from the Ministry of Magic... I agree with him, we all know Blake, we know that he doesn't have that ability. ”
"Oh?"
Amosta responded to Lupin's gaze and smiled calmly,
"So, who does Headmaster Dumbledore think that dark wizard is?"
"Albus is also clueless," said Lupin calmly, "but he does know one thing, Sirius Black is not hiding in the Black family's old mansion. ”
Without waiting for Amosta to question, Lupin explained,
"Phoenix Black is the former Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus's office and the Black family's mansion have his picture frames, last night, Albus commissioned Headmaster Black to go back to the old mansion and have confirmed that there is no living person in that house."
"Thank you for sharing, Remus, I was going to ask from my friends at the Ministry of Magic about that Blake last night..., and I feel more and more that working with you is a wise decision."
Amosta picked up the refreshing bitter tea, took a sip and nodded at Remus.
The sun receded and leapt higher than the eaves, and in the alley in front of the house, an unlucky wizard who had disobeyed the temporary regulations and had apparitioned to Hogsmeade was swearing and paying a fine to a beater of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement that Amosta had never seen, but when he turned around, the striker slipped the fine into his purse.
"What if you know?"
Amosta smiled indifferently, and he walked to the door and stared at the slope that had become clear in the distance.
Under the golden sunlight, the isolated house on the high slope dissipated the haze, revealing its tattered nature, and Amosta's eyebrows suddenly moved, and suddenly he felt that the Screaming Shed was a good place for Blood Charm research, it was quiet and remote, and there was no need to worry about anyone breaking in, and there was no need to worry that Dumbledore would plant a spy in that house.
"What if you know?"
Amosta returned to his bedroom, ready to repair Hagrid's crushed bedboard, and as he turned, he chuckled again.
...............
"Please tell me!"
In Hagrid's hut by the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the always mild-mannered Professor Lupin made a rare sink, and after covering Hagrid, who had emptied half of the cellar of the three broomsticks, he turned to look at Harry and Ron, who were silent, and Hermione, who was about to die on the spot,
"If I'm not mistaken, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, the three of you should be in Professor Sprout's herb class, not Hagrid's hut."
