That wasn't all the reason for Lupine's awkward look.

Also because he was holding a paper bag in his hand, which contained a stack of parchment.

It was all information about Eric collected by his friends in the Ministry of Magic.

Reports related to Eric, his experience in Diagon Alley, and Eric's origin...

The more Lupine looked at these materials, the more frightened he became.

Because Eric's appearance is almost telling everyone that all the information about him is false.

Born into a Muggle family, he is an orphan and has no magic-related background.

Such a person, in the first grade, can summon the Patronus when the dementors attack?

Have you learned so many magic spells through self-study?

He wouldn't believe it even if he killed Lupine.

This also made Lupine completely cut off the idea of ​​wanting to have too much contact with Eric.

There must be something wrong with Eric, although Lupine still can't say what the problem is.

At the same time Lupine wanted to keep Harry away from Eric as well.

Because Eric has never concealed his ambition for magic.

As long as Lupine inquired a little bit, he knew that except for the few days after school started, Eric kept a three-point-one rhythm for the rest of the time.

Libraries, common rooms and dormitories, classrooms.

Except for personal hygiene and eating, he hardly leaves these three places.

This is the most terrible.

Lupine didn't see the brashness of a first-year student in Eric at all.

He's like an old hand who's too familiar with magic.

He is still improving himself at an incredible speed.

Eric is Harry's best friend.

Lupine was very worried that Harry would be sold by Eric one day, and he helped Eric count the money.

In any case, letting the client know that he was being investigated is certainly not something to brag about.

What's more, Eric is still a student and Lupine is a professor.

Lupine had a gut feeling that Eric probably didn't care that Lupine did that either.

This made him even more unable to see through Eric.

He just instinctively felt that Eric was dangerous.

Both for Harry and for Hogwarts, it is very dangerous.

That's why Lupine didn't want to have too much contact with Eric, but he had to investigate from the side.

But now Eric came to the door.

Lupine sighed, but finally did not escape and welcomed Eric into his office.

There was no need to talk nonsense, neither he nor Eric cared.

Eric walked in and saw a pitcher of pitch-black potion on the table, which exuded a not-so-pleasant smell.

The mental stance opened, and Eric swept his attention over the bottle of potion.

[Wolfsbane Potion. 】

[Taking it one week before the full moon can keep the werewolf sane while transforming. 】

[It tastes bitter and sticky, adding sugar will make the potion ineffective. 】

Lupine and Eric looked at Eric warily across the table, and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Eric placed the box he was carrying next to Lupin's desk, sat down, and said with a smile: "There's no need to be so wary of me, Professor, I haven't done anything to hurt Harry, right? "

"You haven't, but just now," said Lupine. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Harry is simple, and it wouldn't do him any good to have someone like you as his friend."

Eric did not refute this statement, but pointed to the Wolfsbane potion on Lupin's desk and said, "Is it difficult to prepare such a potion?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm just saying that a person who can't even reveal his true identity is probably not qualified to teach me how to treat my friends."

Startled, Lupine subconsciously took out his wand and pointed it at Eric, but stopped at the last moment.

Because Eric is faster than him.

Eric smiled and was well prepared.

When he was outside the door just now, he had the wand hidden in his hand, hidden in his other sleeve.

Lupine's attention was drawn to the box he was carrying, and he didn't notice the other hand he was hiding.

Eric only needs to raise his hand slightly, and the wand is aimed at Lupin, and the head of the wand glows slightly, ready to go.

Having seen the level of Eric's Patronus Charm, Lupine naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Lupine felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat.

When he was on the Hogwarts Express, he knew that Eric was messy, but he didn't expect that Eric was not as shy as he imagined.

Confronting the professor with a wand in the office?

Although it was indeed Lu Ping who made the first move, this is...

Crazy?Which student can do this?

Lu Ping cursed inwardly.

"...What exactly do you want to do?" After a while, Lu Ping asked.

Eric sighed: "I just hope, professor, you can stop being so impulsive. You know, you may know nothing about me, but I know you very well."

"Professor, if it is not necessary, I really don't want to start a conversation with you in this way."

"Students and professors are fighting in the office, and you don't want Professor Dumbledore to know about it, Moonface?"

Chapter 64 I Met Black

Lupine was so shocked inside that he never dreamed that he could hear the name Moonface from Eric.

This is really too bizarre.

"...Why do you know?" Lupine put down his wand, his voice sounded extremely hoarse and he asked tremblingly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the nickname Moon Face is his biggest secret.

As the name suggests, this is referring to Lupine's werewolf status.

The moon can transform werewolves.

This was the nickname he was given by James, Sirius and Peter when they went to school together.

Except for the three of them, no one else knew the name at all.

Now Peter and James are dead, and Sirius is on the run from prison.

Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for outsiders to know this nickname.

Lupine looked at Eric's still smiling face, as if looking at a seductive devil who knew everything.

He was terrified that Eric would go on and reveal everything he valued, but wondered what there was that Eric didn't already know.

These two opposite mentalities conflicted in Lupin's heart, and he was almost tormenting Lupine crazy.

Upon seeing this, Eric withdrew his wand, sat down opposite Lupine, and casually threw aside the information about himself that Lupine had placed on the table, without even looking at it.

"I know this potion." Eric said. "Since I know the effect and name of this potion, I can naturally deduce your identity."

"There is only one kind of person who needs to take wolfbane potion."

"Besides, I also heard from Harry and Hermione that when you were in class, Professor, you met a Boggart, and the thing you are most afraid of is actually the moon."

"Based on the combination of the two, the answer is obvious. Professor Lupine, you are a werewolf."

"According to my understanding of the principal, since he allows you to enter the school, it proves that he has communicated with most of the teachers and convinced them, so please rest assured that I will not tell this matter. "

"The rest, I won't go into details one by one. You know that I know you very well, and naturally I also know about James, Peter, Black, and the deeds of the three of you."

Lupine nodded with a bitter expression, and then said puzzled: "I'm indeed not very strict in medicine, but that can't explain the word moon face. I should have never mentioned this nickname to the outside world. How did you know it? And how can you tell that the moon face is mine?"

"Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, but you don't want to admit it at all, professor." Eric smiled, "Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Moony, there are only four of you. I know the nickname, so naturally, the only ones who can leak it out are the four of you.”

"No..." Lu Ping showed fear, and he thought of a terrifying fact.

Eric turned a blind eye to Lupine's expression and continued: "Among them, James died, and then Peter, and he also died. The four Marauders back then, the only ones who are still alive now are you and Black. Since you, Professor, have not told this matter, then the only possibility is -"

Lu Ping's face was pale and his heart was ashen.

"—I've met Black." Eric calmly said the answer that Lupine least wanted to hear.

In Lupine's office, it was suddenly quiet, as if a needle could be heard falling.

He did not doubt whether Eric's words were true or false.

Because it is not needed.

As Eric said, the only people who know the name Moonface are the Predators.

Among the four, apart from him, only Sirius Black remained alive.

So there's no way Eric's words are false.

He didn't have to lie either.

Speaking the name Black from Eric had more impact on Lupine than suspicion.

He had just participated in the search for Blake who had sneaked into the school yesterday, and found nothing. However, Eric turned around and told him that he had already met Blake.

what does this mean?

Eric and Blake are a team?
