Chapter 322 Professor RJ Lupin (5K)

Chapter 322 Professor R.J. Lupine (5K)

Hermione heard what Draco said and took the initiative to open the box for him.

"Here, Ron!"

Ron's eyes lit up and he quickly walked in. Next to him stood Harry, who also walked in together.

Fred and George said side by side: "Let's find another box so we won't disturb the gathering of you little wizards."

Student Union President Percy straightened his chest proudly, as if meeting them for the first time, and greeted them elegantly and methodically.

"Hello, Lin Xia, Draco and Hermione."

Lin Xia nodded to him, "Hello, Percy, congratulations on becoming the student union president."

Hermione also said: "The Weasley family are proud of you."

Draco even said: "It's not easy for you to defeat the Slytherin group and sit in this position."

The smile on Percy's face deepened: "The professors chose me, I will work harder."

After Percy left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

The Weasley twins walked behind and murmured: "It seems that Percy is going to inspect every carriage. He wants everyone to see his brand new chairman's badge."

"George, believe me, if we could get this badge, we would show off even more than him."

"Fred, since when did you start daydreaming?"

In the box, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his other friends.

"Percy likes his badge very much. He showed it off many times overtly and covertly along the way. I am worried about him. Will the badge be rubbed off by him every day?"

Lin Xia couldn't help but smile and said: "The President of the Student Union represents the highest honor a student can receive at Hogwarts. This is something to be proud of."

Draco and Hermione both nodded in agreement.

Ron curled his lips: "That's it."

Hermione told what happened during her summer vacation: "I traveled in France and learned about the history of magic there, but I feel that the British wizarding community is more powerful. After all, we have Dumbledore, who is the most powerful person in this century. One of the great wizards."

Ron also mentioned his experience in Egypt with great interest. At this time, Lin Xia took out the Chinese snacks he bought before, which were piles and piles of spicy strips.

Ron was very interested and said while eating: "I am traveling in Egypt. You should all know that our family won the "Daily Prophet" grand prize, so we went to see my eldest brother Bill...

There are many ancient tombs in Egypt. It is said that there are some corpses. Muggles sneaked in but could not get out, so they were turned into mummies. The ancient tombs there are also full of strange things.

I have seen many strange and weird spells, and you would never imagine that there is also a spell to control corpses..."

After Ron finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at Harry.

Harry had been silent, thinking about things, and when he received the looks of his friends, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I think... well, I didn't have a very happy summer. You can all travel somewhere else, but I've been locked up in my uncle's house. They don't want me to use magic and want to hide that I can The fact of magic…”

Harry was puzzled.

They are both Muggle families, so why are Hermione's parents so liberal, but his uncle's family is so disgusting?

Lin Xia suddenly said: "Harry, I can feel that you are sad, but in fact you don't have to feel sad about these things.

Is it possible that they are afraid of your ability, so they restrict you from using this ability? "

Harry's eyes flickered, very curious about this statement.

This was a direction he had never thought of.

"Afraid? Wizards are also human beings. There is no difference except that they can do magic." Harry said.

The reason why he said this is because all the little wizards in Hogwarts can use magic.

In school, his magic talent is not the best.

Compared with most young wizards, his abilities are normal.

Unless they are top students like Hermione, Draco and Lin Xia.

Draco said thoughtfully: "Lin Xia is right, they are afraid of your ability, so they restrict you.

The biggest difference between you and them is that you know magic and can use such convenient spells. "

The expression on Harry's face became much more relaxed, "If that's the case..."

He couldn't help but smile: "I will feel happy. If they bully me again next time, I will use magic on them."

Hermione said disapprovingly: "There are brown threads in each of our wands. The Ministry of Magic will track down whether we use magic in the Muggle world. I advise you not to do this."

Lin Xia blinked: "My dear, don't be so serious. If Harry needs it, I am willing to provide him with a natural wand that is not installed with brown wire."

Hermione was a little embarrassed: "Lin Xia, this is against the rules!"

Lin Xia shook her head and said in a gentle voice: "Hermione, you are my friends. You don't need to talk so many rules in front of your friends.

Rules are dead, but people are alive. Are you willing to see Harry continue to be bullied like this by his relatives? "

Hermione couldn't help but fell silent.

Harry's condition was not good, and his family atmosphere was too oppressive.

Harry didn't want the two little witches to quarrel over this matter, so he said, "Let's talk about it next time. We are going to Hogwarts, and there is no restriction on the use of wands."

He paused, "And this summer vacation, I also have something happy. When I was about to leave for London, my uncle's house welcomed a guest. I called her Aunt Maggie. She...

She said some really outrageous things about my father, and I made sure I didn't use my wand, but I was so angry that I accidentally cast some magic on her. "

The other friends looked nervously, and Draco asked: "What magic?"

Harry lowered his voice: "The expansion spell, her body was blown up like a balloon, expanding and enlarging, and then kept flying into the sky. I was so angry that I left at that time."

Hermione asked worriedly: "Then are you being traced by the Ministry of Magic?"

Harry nodded: "Yes, I met a Ministry of Magic official named Fudge. He seemed to have something to do and came to the Leaky Cauldron. He saw me and asked me some questions. He said he would help me erase my record and let me go to school with peace of mind. ”

Ron exclaimed: "Why didn't you tell me this!"

Harry shrugged: "Ron, the matter has been resolved, I just don't want you to worry."

Ron said: "This Fudge sounds like a good person."

Lin Xia couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head: "Harry is very famous in the wizarding world. He may want to sell Harry a favor."

Hermione asked keenly: "You sound like you know Fudge?"

Lin Xia nodded and said: "Well, he came to my house before and wanted to discuss business with my parents, but my parents have been doing research in the Amazon forest. I told him that I can make the decision if he wants to talk to me about any business.

But Fudge didn't believe me and questioned my ability. The weapon plan he gave me in the end made me look like a fool, so I refused to cooperate with him.

He used to be in the Weapons Logistics Support Department, but later he was transferred to the Foreign Affairs Department, and we lost contact. "

Ron: "Well, that doesn't sound like a good guy."

He turned to look at Harry, "I don't know if I deliberately approached you with a purpose."

Draco put an end to their speculation: "We are all still students. Even if we want to win our favor, there are still too few things we can do. Let's study hard first."

Others thought about it and stopped talking about this person.

Harry suddenly thought that before entering the station, Uncle Arthur suddenly stopped him and told him something.

Tell him never to go to Sirius Black!

Harry felt very strange, why did he go to find Sirius, who was obviously a murderous dark wizard.

No matter how proud he was, he couldn't possibly think that he could deal with an adult dark wizard.

But Uncle Arthur is very nervous...

And the big swarthy dog ​​he saw on Magnolia Crescent Street in the endless darkness. Was that a sign of the coming of death?

It was really strange, how could it be just a dog that appeared in his dreams again and again.

While they were chatting, the character who had appeared before, Fudge, continued to visit other nobles.

Fudge's face was no longer as confident as before. His expression was gloomy and his complexion was bleak.

In the past few days, he had been rejected by nobles one after another, and he finally realized——

The reason why the Auror Department refuses to do the task of the Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department is not because there is no manpower, but because this task is too difficult to complete!

Even if there are ten Aurors to protect him, Fudge will always worry about his personal safety, fearing that he will be killed in a noble's visitor room!

He is a dignified director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic, but he is actually worried about his own safety?

It sounds like a joke, but it's true.

"Get out of here, get out of here. You'd better not appear in front of me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll shoot blazing fire at you. My wand's temper is much more violent than mine!"

It was another noble manor, and Fudge was kicked out by the nobles again.

Not only was he chased away, he was also thrown a lot of vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, smelly feces by the house elves...

Fudge was well prepared. He waved his wand in advance and put on an armor to protect himself. An invisible air shield appeared in front of him to protect his safety.

Thanks to the violent tempers of these nobles, Fudge has been secretly practicing armor protection these days, and this spell has become one of his most commonly used spells.

But Umbridge next to him was not so lucky.

She was splashed with a little khaki feces, and the smell was so bad that she couldn't stop screaming.

"You don't have any aristocratic qualities. Damn nobles. You will only rely on the glory brought by your family to enjoy the glory and wealth without making progress. You are a worm in the wizarding world. You*\u0026%￥#..."

Fudge said with a livid face: "I told you that I asked you to practice armor protection. Why don't you practice it?"

Umbridge winced, "I, I... I don't have much time. After I go back, I have to deal with the work of the Foreign Affairs Department..."

This excuse barely convinced Fudge.

Since he took over the work of the Nobles' Anti-Corruption Investigation Department, he has handed over all the work of the Foreign Affairs Department to Umbridge.

Although the Foreign Affairs Department is a leisurely department, it still has some daily affairs to deal with.

The two of them left the manor in a state of embarrassment. In contrast to them was the majestic Auror waiting outside the manor.

The boots they wore were as shiny as new, and the gloves they wore emitted strong magical fluctuations. They had a special leather case for placing spells on their waists, and there was a special space for hanging a sword!

Although they were not as gorgeous as the nobles, they were also very heroic.

Fudge couldn't help thinking: These Aurors all look like nobles!

They didn't care about anything. In name, they were protecting his safety, but in fact, they were supervising him to go into the nobles' manors and negotiate with those nobles.

These people are so hateful!

Thinking of this, Fudge thought of Harry again.

If only Harry could graduate quickly, maybe by helping him eliminate the traces of using magic, Harry could say something good for him and leave the Noble Anti-Corruption Investigation Department.

This department is a pool of muddy water and a hot potato!

Why was he so stupid to take on such a thing!

…

In the Hogwarts Express.

Lin Xia mentioned the experience in Romania to her friends, and everyone was most interested in the dragon.

"How does it feel to ride a dragon?"

"Is the dragon's back comfortable?"

"Is the dragon obedient?"

"Can a dragon be shrunk and taken out?"

"Is the dragon's magic resistance really that high?"

In addition to these questions, there are many other questions about feeding dragons. These friends seem to be looking forward to raising a dragon in the future.

Although everyone knows that this is impossible.

Lin Xia said: "Dragons are very proud. Using force to conquer dragons is the fastest way. They look down on creatures weaker than themselves--"

Suddenly, she heard a heavy sound of footsteps coming from the corridor.

While chatting with her friends, Lin Xia's supersensory spell never stopped, habitually enhancing her hearing and sense of momentum among the five senses.

So even if the footsteps sounded light to ordinary people, they sounded heavy to Lin Xia's ears, completely different from the footsteps of the little wizard.

Lin Xia couldn't help but turn her head to look.

What came into view was a tall and thin man, whose figure was different from that of the little wizard, and was obviously an adult wizard.

He was wearing a tattered wizard robe, which was patched in several places, and looked very poor.

His face was pale and he looked sick. Although he walked without any crookedness, he felt that he would fall to the side at any time.

Lin Xia noticed his hair.

This person looked very young, but his hair was already a little gray.

She thought for a while, then suddenly waved her wand and opened the door of the compartment.

"Swish--"

When the compartment door opened, there was a harsh creaking sound.

At this time, the train had already departed, and the little wizards in the corridor outside were very lively. In the noise, this adult wizard was very quiet.

He looked at the suddenly opened compartment door and was startled.

This was too much of a coincidence.

Looking up, Lin Xia in the box nodded to him and said politely, "Hello, Professor Lupin, if you can't find a seat, you can sit in our box."

Ron and Harry were shocked, and even Hermione widened her eyes, "Professor?"

How did Lin Xia know that this person was a professor?

Until Lupin walked in, everyone saw the box in the man's hand, which read "Professor R.J. Lupin".

The box was so shabby, tied with many ropes, and the ropes were neatly knotted.

Professor R.J. Lupin's name was printed on a corner of the box, and the letters were a little mottled and falling off.

The other little wizards immediately called the professor respectfully.

Lupin was obviously not a sociable person.

He just glanced at Harry, then sat in the corner and closed his eyes.

Ron looked at his lifeless face and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what this professor teaches."

"Why ask that?" Hermione whispered, "There's only one course that always lacks a professor, isn't it? That's Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Everyone has changed the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher twice.

Fortunately, there are still a few permanent teachers for this course, so their progress is not too far behind.

But for some reason, this course always changes professors frequently, and every time the new professors are very unreliable.

But the school has to recruit professors from outside, after all, the remaining two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors can't spare time to teach so many students.

Professor Lupin covered his face with his whitish hat and dozed off.

The little wizard was silent for a while, and then continued the discussion.

This time their topic was Hogsmeade Village, which was a village that little wizards could enter only after they were in the third grade and asked their parents for their consent and signature.

Ron said expectantly, "There is a candy store there called Honeydukes."

A dreamy expression appeared on his face.

"There's everything there... Pepper Pussy, which makes smoke come out of your mouth; and big fat chocolates full of strawberries and cream.

And there are wonderful candy stick quills that you can suck on in class, and people will think you are thinking about what to write next-"

"It sounds like a really interesting place, doesn't it?"

Hermione asked eagerly: "The Ministry of Magic says that the tavern was the headquarters of the goblin rebellion in 1612.

And the Shrieking Shack, which is said to be the most haunted house in Britain-"

Ron didn't listen to what Hermione said at all, and continued to talk on his own: "- and there are such big juice jelly balls that your feet will rise several inches from the ground when you suck them."

Draco turned his head to look at Harry who was silent, "It sounds interesting. It must be fun to leave school occasionally and go to Hogsmeade Village, right?"

Harry said sullenly: "I think so. I have to wait until you figure it out before telling me."

Ron frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Harry said very depressedly: "I can't go. The Dursleys refused to sign my permission form, and Fudge refused to sign it either."

Ron couldn't help but said: "Don't let you go? How is that possible? Oh, yes, your family doesn't like you to use magic...

It shouldn't be so bad, maybe Professor McGonagall or someone else will approve you."

Even Ron didn't believe this.

Professor McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor College and a very strict teacher.

Lin Xia suddenly said: "Harry, if you can become an excellent student, the school will relax many restrictions on you."
