Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor's office.

The room was gray and there was not much light. Remus Lupin sat quietly on the sofa. The wolfbane potion kept suppressing his body, like a terrifying intelligence creature, drawing him little by little. Physical strength.

The full moon has not arrived yet, but he is exhausted.

"gu lu lu lur~"

The kettle in the corner boiled, jumping and emitting a large burst of steam, Lupin dragged his body up, before and after the full moon, he tried his best Without using magic, after two minutes, he made a pot of tea for himself.

Throw the tea bags into the trash can. There is white water vapor above the cup, Lupin's eyes gleaming in the dimness.

"Sirius..."

He has always been a restrained person and rarely shows true emotions. But under the dual exhaustion of body and spirit, it is inevitable that the mood will fall into a continuous depression. He found himself thinking of this man again.

The photos on the arrest warrant do not show him what he is. Lupin always subconsciously brought in Sirius when he was young, which made his feelings more complicated and sad.

"Should I reveal Sirius's Animagus to Dumbledore?"

This question entangled him for a long time, but he couldn't brave the courage to admit to Dumbledore that he failed in his school days To gain his trust, not only left Shrieking Shack, but also wandered around with three people...

Dumbledore’s trust was extremely important to him. When he was a child, it was Dumbledore who walked into his house. Persuaded father and mother and accepted his admission. In the first year or two, Dumbledore or Madam Pomfrey accompanied him to transform, and then he grew older and persuaded Dumbledore to allow him to complete the full moon transformation independently.

Shrieking Shack's chains are very strong, which is one of the reasons he mentioned.

Dumbledore agreed in a limited manner. He set the rules. Madam Pomfrey would take him to transform, but would not keep staring at him, and occasionally let him go to Shrieking Shack by himself.

He kept a secret cautiously, even though he was discovered by two keen guys as early as Second Year, the number of people who knew he was a werewolf also expanded to six: Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey , Professor McGonagall, James, Peter and-Sirius.

One time James suddenly had a thought and wanted to learn Animagus, because werewolf was only dangerous to people, and James felt that he could become an animal to accompany him. This idea immediately got Sirius' response, and their enthusiasm remained high for a period of time.

He didn’t care too much at the time, instead he was “willing” to provide some figures, telling them how profound Animagus is, how many wizards have failed successively in the past century, and the name of the last success is still not written on the paper. Row.

"I love your cold humor, Lupin." James said to him at the time.

Fifth Year, things changed. On the first full moon coming back from the vacation, he locked himself up in Shrieking Shack as usual-he was already very skilled, but when the full moon passed and he recovered little by little, he opened his eyes and saw two huge animals:

It was a big black dog and a stag. In his stunned mouth, they became two familiar companions, James and Sirius. They grinned at him, "We concealed the whole summer vacation just to see your surprised expression."

It is hard to describe his mood at the time, both happy and sad—for Traveling through Whomping Willow, they hurt themselves-even some complaints, what if he hurts them? But looking at their smiles, he compromised again.

Two months later, with the help of James and Sirius, Peter finally succeeded. With their company, his state of mind in the werewolf state was much more peaceful, not always irrational. , This may be because James and Sirius's Animagus can suppress werewolf, and no one stimulates him to go crazy.

They started an adventure. A werewolf and a few animals were running around in the dark! In retrospect, Lupin was still puzzled by his youth and ignorance, but at the time they talked about it as what a joke, and was smug about it...

He couldn’t avoid feeling guilty--for He personally broke the safety rules set by Headmaster Dumbledore. Although he was upset for a long time, he did not refuse to participate in the formulation of the next adventure.

In the office, the tea is already cold.

Lupin deceived himself: I will tell Dumbledore everything at the right time, including my hypocrisy and cowardice. He said to himself, and then thought in disgust again, come on, you should have told Dumbledore about the time Sirius tried to break into the castle.

But he subconsciously postponed this decision time and time again, and, like an ostrich, naively thought that Sirius had been frustrated and he would never show up again.

"Maybe he learned the evil dark magic from Voldemort...but Hogwarts has Dumbledore and he will not succeed."

Lupin showed a self-disgusting expression, he picked it up cup, pour cold tea into the stomach.

He thought of Neville and Harry, and he paid attention to them subconsciously. His attitude towards Neville is more compassionate. His parents used to be his comrade-in-arms. Although there are not many contacts, the Longbottoms are very friendly people.

He saw Neville's timid character at a glance. He hoped that Neville could overcome his fear, but Snape's counterattack seemed to make the child bear more rebuke. He didn't know how many times he comforted him. Did it work?

And Harry, he is more like his nephew...even though he concealed his feelings well.

By the way, he also has to teach Harry Patronus Charm, Lupin cheers up, he should find a Boggart, he knows this kind of creature very well, this comes from the bedtime stories he heard when he was a child— —His father is the "authority of non-human supernatural phenomena", and he knows all about the prank ghosts, Boggart and other ghosts.

Even the connection between his father and mother was due to a wild Boggart......

Lupin suddenly thought that Harry would definitely ask about his parents, when the time comes, he How much should be revealed? And Sirius, it seems that the more you say it, the more wrong it becomes.

"knock knock."

The low knock on the door interrupted Lupin's thoughts. He opened the door and saw Dumbledore standing outside the door.

"Dumbledore-why are you here?" Lupin asked in surprise.

Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Bad news, Sirius Black took advantage of Harry and his friends' visit to Hagrid, and sneak attacked them."

"What!" Lupin stared wide -eyed, dizzy in his head, "Harry--what's the matter with them?"

"Almost, he almost succeeded, Remus." Dumbledore said. "Harry's best friend is lying in the hospital now. No one can guarantee when the next attack will happen." After a long time, he said sullenly: "I will tell you everything I know, Professor Dumbledore, including Black's secrets, including my deception to you... I only hope that you can listen to this story in its entirety and don’t get angry in the middle. Leave quietly."

"That's exactly what I came to find you, Remus." Dumbledore said calmly.
