Chapter 413 Nervous Professor Lupine
After leaving the underground classroom, Kyle did not stop and went all the way to the foyer.
Many people have returned from Hogsmeade. Everyone gathers here to exchange candies and joke props. It is much more lively than when they came here.
Kyle also saw two people standing by the stairs.
Professor Luping held a map in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"It's a very creative design..." He said with a smile: "I also had one when I was in school...I saw an interesting map that, like it, can show the secret passages in the castle."
"Professor, did you have this kind of map when you were in school?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Better than that..." Professor Lupine whispered, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
But soon, this reminiscence turned serious...
He looked at Harry and asked seriously: "Are there many maps like this...in the castle?"
"This should be the only one." Harry said after thinking for a moment.
He remembered that Fred and George said that this kind of map was made out of interest and was not intended to be sold as a commodity, and it was the only one.
After hearing what Harry said, Professor Lupin's expression softened a little.
"Professor, I... picked this up..." Harry didn't want to betray Fred and George, so he could only rummage around, trying to find a reasonable-sounding excuse to explain the origin of the map.
"I don't want to find out how you got something like this, but I'm shocked you didn't turn it over, especially after a student left the castle information around last time."
"I..." Harry wanted to explain, but didn't know how to speak.
Fred and George had clearly told him before that they should destroy the map as soon as possible after writing down the location of the secret passage, but he forgot about it.
So far, he only remembered the secret passage of the statue of the hunchbacked witch.
"I can't give it back to you, Harry." Professor Lupine put the map away, "I have to..."
"Ok?"
Suddenly, he moved his nose and seemed to smell a very familiar smell.
Professor Lupine searched for it and happened to see Kyle who had just walked into the foyer.
"Nice to meet you, Professor Lupin." Kyle smiled and waved.
"Hello...Kyle." Professor Lupine asked doubtfully, "Why are you here instead of going to Hogsmeade?"
"I'm in detention, Professor." Kyle shrugged, "Don't have time to go to Hogsmeade?"
"Confinement?!"
Professor Lupine was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Kyle, who ranked first in grade four times in a row, would be put into solitary confinement.
However, Harry acted very calmly. He already knew about this when he met Kyle and Snape on the fourth floor in the morning.
Well, Snape, there's nothing surprising about that.
"He must have locked you up specifically because today is Hogsmeade visit day." Harry said decisively.
"What did he ask you to do, deal with that caterpillar slime?"
"No." Kyle shook his head, "It's not that bad, it just helped him survive the potion for a few hours."
"Oh, that's not bad." Harry said with lingering fear, "Last time I was detained by Snape, I didn't eat for several days... By the way, why did you stay up so long? time?"
"A rare potion..." Kyle said, "Wolfsbane potion."
There was a flash of panic in Professor Lupin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Although he tried to look the same as usual, his hands were clenched, for fear that Kyle would call his name the next second.
This semester, he would take leave every full moon, and with the Wolfsbane potion... it was difficult for him to ensure that Kyle didn't discover anything.
<divclass="contentadv">Fortunately at this time, a group of people walked into the foyer from outside.
Those were the people who went to visit Hogsmeade, and now they are all back.
Fred and George came over and surrounded Kyle on the left and right.
"You must not know what you are missing..."
"The Shrieking Shack is not as bad as we thought..." George said with a smile, "Malfoy didn't know what he saw inside and was so frightened that he ran all the way back to the castle."
"We all heard his screams in Zuko..." Fred said regretfully: "But why didn't we see anything when we went last time..."
Harry lowered his head and said nothing.
In fact, Malfoy was scared away by him. He was wearing an invisibility cloak and smashed a ball of mud into the opponent's face.
However, due to excessive force, part of the invisibility cloak accidentally slipped off, exposing his head. It looked like he was floating in mid-air, which scared Malfoy away.
It was also for this reason that he was called to the office by Snape.
Later, Connor, Cho and Cedric also came back.
Kyle ended the topic of confinement and followed them to the field outside.
He estimated that if he stayed any longer, Professor Luping might crush the map.
To be honest, he looked so nervous that he almost had the words "I am a werewolf" written on his face.
Fortunately, Harry and Ron were next to them. If it were Hermione, she would definitely find something wrong.
But speaking of Hermione, it seems like I haven't seen her much lately, especially after the Christmas holidays, when the trio became a duo.
It was only during meal time that Hermione could be seen carrying a bulging bag and hurriedly grabbing a few mouthfuls of food in the auditorium.
With this in mind, Kyle also followed Kangna to the field outside.
Qiu next to him handed over a bottle of butterbeer, and Kyle took it without thinking.
In the next second, Butterbeer turned into a violent haddock and bit his arm.
The haddock was rubbery, not painful, but firm enough that no matter how hard Kyle shook it, he couldn't shake it off, and pulling harder only made it longer.
Fred and George held their stomachs and laughed, no need to guess that it was their idea.
……
Seeing several people walking out of the castle gate laughing and joking, Professor Luping let go of the hand he had been holding tightly, and a little color returned to his face.
Kyle didn't seem to notice anything, maybe he was too nervous.
He thought so...
Yes, who would have thought that the great Professor Dumbledore would actually find a werewolf as a professor, as if he would have agreed to come to school here before.
This kind of thing is impossible anywhere... Only Dumbledore...
Professor Lupin took a deep breath, gave Harry a few brief instructions, and then hurriedly left.
Now is not the time to think about this, there is a more important thing to do.
He needed to go to Filch's and find something.
……
