The Office of the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
The room was gray and there was not much light. Remus Lupin sat quietly on the sofa, the wolf poison potion kept suppressing his body, like some terrible spiritual creature, drawing his physical strength little by little.
The full moon has not arrived yet, but he is exhausted.
"Gulululu~"
The kettle in the corner boiled, leaping and spouting a large burst of steam, Lupin dragged his body up, before and after the full moon, he tried not to use magic, and after two minutes, he made a pot of tea for himself.
Throwing the tea bags into the trash can, white water vapor floated 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 wanted order 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' Animagus to Dumbledore?"
This question entangled him for a long time, but he couldn't muster the courage to admit to Dumbledore: He had failed his trust in his student days, not only left the screaming shed, but also wandered around with three people...
Dumbledore’s trust is extremely important to him. When he was a child, it was Dumbledore who walked into his house and persuaded his father and mother to accept 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.
The chains of the screaming shed are very strong, which is one of the reasons he mentioned.
Dumbledore agreed in a limited manner. He set the rule that Mrs. Pomfrey would take him to transform, but would not keep staring at him, and occasionally let him go to the screaming shed alone.
He kept a secret carefully, even though he was discovered by two keen guys as early as the second grade, and the number of people who knew he was a werewolf also expanded to six: Dumbledore, Mrs. Pomfrey, McGonagall. Professor, James, Peter and-Sirius.
Once James had a whim and wanted to learn from Animagus, because werewolves are only dangerous to people, and James felt that he could become an animal to accompany him. This idea immediately got Sirius' response, and for a period of time, their enthusiasm remained high.
He didn't care too much at the time, but was ‘willing’ to provide some numbers, telling them how advanced Animagus was, how many wizards have failed in succession over the past century, and the name of the final success was not filled with two lines on the paper.
"I love your cold humor, Lupin." James said to him at the time.
In the fifth grade, things changed. On the first full moon coming back from the holiday, he locked himself up in the screaming hut as usual-he was already very skilled, but when the full moon passed and he recovered a little bit, he opened his eyes and saw two huge animals:
It was a **** dog and a stag. In his stunned mouth, they became two familiar companions, James and Sirius. They grinned at him, "We kept this for the entire summer vacation just to see your surprised expression."
It's hard to describe his mood at the time, both happy and sad-they hurt themselves in order to cross the beating willow-even some complaints, what if he hurts them? But looking at their smiles, he compromised again.
After another two months, 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 Both James and Sirius' Animagus can suppress the werewolf, and no one drives him crazy.
They started an adventure. A werewolf and a few animals run around in the dark! In retrospect, Lupin still felt puzzled by his young and ignorant, but at the time they told it as a joke, and they were complacent about it...
He also inevitably feels guilty—breaking the safety rules set by Principal Dumbledore for himself. Although he was restless 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 and thought: At the right time, I will tell Dumbledore everything, 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 black magic from Voldemort...but Hogwarts has Dumbledore and he will not succeed."
Lupin showed a self-disgusting expression. He picked up the cup and poured cold tea into his 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 comrades-in-arms. Although they don't have many contacts, the Longbottoms are very friendly people.
He could see Neville’s timid character at a glance. He hoped that Neville could overcome his fears, but Snape’s counterattack seemed to have caused the child to bear more reprimands. He didn’t know whether his several comforts were produced. effect.
And Harry, he is more like his nephew...even though he concealed his feelings well.
By the way, he has to teach Harry the patron saint. Lupin should cheer up. He should find a Bogut. He knows this creature very well. This comes from the bedtime story he heard when he was a child. Father is the "authority of non-human supernatural phenomena", and he knows well about hoax ghosts, Bogut and other kinds of ghosts.
Even his father and mother's bond is also because of a wild Bogut...
Lupin suddenly thought that Harry would definitely ask about his parents, how much should he reveal then? And Sirius, it seems that the more you say, the more wrong you are.
"click."
A low knock on the door interrupted Lupin's thoughts. He pushed the door open and saw Dumbledore standing outside.
"Dumbledore-why are you here?" Lupin asked in surprise.
Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "The bad news is that Sirius Black took advantage of Harry and his friends to visit Hagrid and attacked them."
"What!" Lupin's eyes widened, and his head was dizzy. "Harry—are they doing anything?"
"Almost, he almost succeeded, Remus," Dumbledore said. "Harry's best friend is lying in the hospital now, and no one can guarantee when the next attack will happen."
Lupin supported the door frame, seeming to lose all his strength. 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 hear this story in its entirety. Don’t Angrily left halfway."
"That's why I came to you, Remus." Dumbledore said quietly.
