Professor Lupin's office is very different from Lockhart's.

Zhang Xiao remembers that Lockhart's office was covered with portraits of himself, most notably the huge gilt-trimmed silver-plated full-length mirror with claws that move on its own.

Although it may seem pompous, I have to admit that Lockhart uses good things, at least in terms of price, it is indeed good things.

Professor Lupin's office is very austere, with a stale feel to everything, and some photographs on the desk.

It's just that there are no people on it now, only an empty background.

There was a stove next to the two of them, and a black cast-iron kettle was simmering on the stove.

In the corner was a large cistern, and a sickly green creature with small pointed horns pressed its face against the glass, grimacing and curling its slender claws.

This is Grindy Lowe.

"Water monsters." Lupin noticed Zhang Xiao's gaze and said with a smile, "It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with it, the secret is to destroy its claws."

Have you noticed the unusual-looking claws? Strong, but vulnerable.

I think a 'force loose and energetic' will make them get away from it. ”

Grindy Lowe bared his green teeth and buried himself in a mess of aquatic weeds in the corner of the tank.

"Have a cup of tea?" Lupin said, looking around for something.

"Okay." Zhang Xiao happily agreed.

I don't know how to get in touch with Professor Lupin, if only Sirius was here, a friend would introduce a friend.

"Where's the tea—" Lupin muttered, and simply raised his wand, "Okay—'Tea cans flying'!" ”

A small tin can flew out of the garbage can.

The smile on Lupin's face froze, and he hurriedly waved his wand to make the jar fly back, and said embarrassedly:

"Sorry, it looks like I forgot to finish the tea yesterday."

Zhang Xiao spread his hands: "Of course it doesn't matter, I often forget whether I have done my homework or not, you know, professor." ”

Lupin couldn't help but laugh, the awkward atmosphere just now suddenly subsided a lot, and Zhang was talking about the most common excuse used by young wizards - 'Professor! I swear I did my homework, someone must have cleaned up my homework and I really remember it! ’

"It just so happened that my family sent me some tea from China, so why don't we try it together?"

Zhang Xiao opened his Qiankun bag, rummaged for a while, and picked out a bag of tea leaves with no logo, but a large amount, and he was not ready to take it back after drinking the tea.

Is there still a little wizard who carries tea with him?

Lupin watched with some surprise as Zhang Xiao took out a large bag of things from a small bag that was only the size of a palm, and remembered the letter Sirius had given him, and decisively chose to shut his mouth.

What could make Sirius, who was already very wealthy, say the adjective 'unfathomable' was beyond the limits of Lupin's imagination.

But just as he didn't think about getting financial help from Sirius even if he was down, what does Zhang Xiao's wealth have to do with him?

Lupin didn't refuse, tapped the jug with his wand, and it flew on its own, pouring boiling hot water into two teacups.

"Zhang, actually—" Lupin handed over a cup of tea, and there was a notch in the cup.

Zhang Xiao took the teacup and made a gesture of listening.

"Shhh

"Remus, I have a good idea, if you will."

"Nice idea?"

"Yes, your biggest fear about Ling's nightmare, I think, you can have a good chat with your student, 'Zhang' from China."

"Students? Dumbledore, but what can a student do? I'll admit that Zhang should be an excellent student, but with all due respect, the student is afraid that I can't do anything about my problem. ”

Lupin remembered the smile on Dumbledore's face: "Remus, Zhang Ke is far better than you think, and now even I am valuing his opinion many times.

And the magic of the East is very different from ours, and we seem to have taken two completely opposite paths.

Do you know what that means? ”

Dumbledore said meaningfully, "It means that many of the problems that seem impossible to us may have solutions in the East, and vice versa."

I have deeply experienced that there are very mature solutions to problems that I thought I had to pay for my life to solve, but in the East, there are very mature solutions.

This discovery directly led me to reverse the original plan. ”

"Remus, I really hope you'll give it a try."

Zhang Xiao watched Lu Ping pick up the teacup, and fell into a visibly chagrin and entanglement.

At this time, just let the other party recover by himself, he should be struggling with whether to tell himself that he is a werewolf, right?

I picked up the teacup and blew on the foam, it was still hot, but it was suitable for sipping.

After a while, Lupin finally came back to his senses, sighed softly, and said hesitantly:

"Zhang actually. Well. I would like to say. Dumbledore advised me. Alas."

Zhang Xiao put down the teacup and suddenly asked, "Professor, you want to say that you are a werewolf, right?" ”

Lu Ping's face suddenly turned pale, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Xiao, and then looked away in a panic, his gaze dodging.

"Huh? Oh you know, you know? Where did you know that? ”

Zhang Xiao didn't answer directly, now Lu Ping was very nervous, and if he talked about this issue, it would make him more and more nervous.

So the best thing to do is to switch to a lighter topic, divert your attention, and wait for the professor to recover.

The little trick he learned in his previous life was simple but practical, and after thinking about it, he picked up his teacup and raised it towards Lupin.

He smiled and said, "Professor, how does the tea taste?" ”

"Huh?" Lupin was stunned for a moment, but still subconsciously said, "Very good. But Zhang, where do you know—"

"Professor, Sirius has been looking forward to meeting you next Hogsmeade weekend?"

"Huh? Good but"

"Professor, Harry, too."

"Huh? Okay, I still want to know."

Why is it useless?

Zhang Xiao sighed, chose to give up, and immediately chose to use Dumbledore as a shield:

"That's right, Professor Dumbledore told me."

"Dumbledore?" Lupin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, if it was Dumbledore, it would be fine.

Not much is known about his werewolf identity, and it is still useful, at least Dumbledore needs to go to the werewolf community himself to get their news.

As Voldemort's most loyal followers, the werewolves will be the first to know if the Dark Lord makes another move.

So it's quite necessary to be an undercover agent, as long as it doesn't leak out.

And Dumbledore must have guessed that he would hesitate, so he told Zhang in advance, right?

Lupin finally relaxed again, and said apologetically:

"Zhang, most wizards are afraid of werewolves, I don't want to scare you"

Zhang Xiao nodded, at this time, just listen quietly.

"Of course, you don't have to worry, Professor Snape has made me a wolf poison potion, and I will drink the potion when the moon is full, and stay here quietly, so you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Lupin crossed his hands on his abdomen, and Zhang Xiao noticed that his ten fingers were a little white from the exertion, and his thumb was stirring back and forth.

Sighing secretly, Lupin was very scared, afraid that the little wizard would be afraid of him.

Remus Lupin, a gentle man, always has been.

"Zhang, Dumbledore told me. The East may be able to help me, that's why I'm looking for you."

Lupin's thumb thrashed harder and harder.

"Professor Lupin, I'm willing to help take a look, very willingly."

Zhang Xiao simply agreed, not to mention that he was already very interested in werewolves, not to mention that he needed a reason to help Lupin?

Lupin deserves all the kindness.

Besides, it seems that Daomen hasn't studied werewolves yet, and he already has 'Neville Soul Sojourning Disease', why can't he have 'Lupin Werewolf Syndrome'?

Lu Ping looked at him in a daze, as if he didn't expect Zhang Xiao to say so simply, he sniffed and said solemnly:

"Thank you."

Soon he fell into a new round of nervousness, and he stood up, not knowing where to put his hand:

"Zhang, what should I do? Or do you need to wait for the full moon to transform to show you? ”

Zhang Xiao put down the cup and stood up as well:

"Professor, you may have a feeling of being observed later, don't be nervous, I'll take a look first."

What does it feel like to be observed? Let's take a look?

It didn't take long for Lupin to know what it meant to be observed, and that werewolves, despite all their drawbacks, also gave Lupin an instinctive intuition that was similar to that of a beast.

So he could sense who really didn't care about the identity of the werewolf.

Lupin looked at the little wizard in front of him and closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, those eyes became bright, like the most beautiful jewels.

He only felt a chill behind him, and Zhang Xiao's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate a lot of things and see the deepest things.

It turned out that this was the feeling of being observed, and he resisted the urge to run away, and stayed quietly in place, motionless, so as not to disturb Zhang Xiao's observation.

Zhang Xiao held her breath and concentrated all her attention on the Law Eye, and as she exercised, the Law Eye became more and more profound over time.

Everything around him became delicate, but all his attention was on Lupin.

Hiss.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but take a breath in his eyes.

Lupin's body was spilling out wisps of black air.

It's like a demon.
