From Azkaban To Hogwarts

The fact that Lupine was a werewolf sparked a huge - no, actually a trivial - discussion throughout Hogwarts.

There is no way, the final exam is coming, and the results will mean how you will live during the long summer vacation. Who has time to talk about whether the professor is a werewolf?

The fifth and seventh graders did have some time, but they had been holding it back for a whole year. The school decided to open Hogsmeade before the summer vacation. How could this kind of entertainment be worthy of staying in the castle and discussing werewolves without going out to play? Their year of hard work?

Of course, the most important factor is that both the school and the Ministry of Magic have unified their voices and announced in newspapers that they support Professor Lupine's continued employment in the school, especially the resume of the 'former striker', which has made students who are uneasy about werewolves I also let down a lot of my guard.

However, despite this, Lu Ping is still being watched by many people these days.

Every student will cast a veiled and curious look, wondering whether Lupine will suddenly appear with furry ears or a tail or something at the next moment - there is no way, in many stories about magical families, werewolves replace Muggle fairy tales. The big bad wolf in the movie becomes the villain...

"To be honest...it's much better than I imagined..."

In the corner of the staff lounge, Lu Ping was cheerful and did not take the crowds of spectators to heart these days at all.

"At least my students didn't look at me with hatred. If that were the case, I really wouldn't be able to continue..."

He even had the intention to play wizard chess with William - and made William lose terribly.

"Dear Lord Wizard... Maybe we should let that soldier go first..."

The bishop who was selected by William said submissively, without any arrogance in his tone.

"are you sure?"

William stopped playing the wizard chess and asked doubtfully. The bishop nodded quickly, which made the soldier look miserable.

"Haha..." Adams sneered, "You actually have to let the chess players teach you how to play wizard chess!"

He laughed mercilessly and ignored the rule of watching the game without saying anything, "Come on, let me play this endgame and see how I win."

William simply gave up his position. He lost a little and doubted his life.

Back in Azkaban, when he played wizard chess with Nine Fingers, which he couldn't move, he performed very well...

‘Could it be that...that guy with Nine Fingers, did he let me go on purpose? ’

Just when he consciously discovered the original truth, the wizard chess held in Adams' hand was a little unhappy - it struggled as if it wanted to say something, but finally sighed and gave up.

"Goooooo!!!"

The hoot of the owl came from the window. After it made the sound, it began to tap the window rhythmically with its beak, signaling the professors to open the window.

William waved his arm, and the window was pushed open completely. Then, the silly-looking owl fluttered and landed on the nearest table, bouncing on top and starting to trot.

It didn't even rush to deliver the message, and directly entangled the professor closest to the window - he was opening a bag of nuts.

"Alright alright…"

As the professor spoke, he divided half of the package out and glanced at the name of the recipient.

"Professor Lupin, your letter is from Sirius Black!"

He turned around, shouted to Lupine, and then complained with a smile, "I'm obviously sending you a letter, but you still have to feed me - this guy is too bullying."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Lupine stood up and walked towards the addicted owl.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other professors who were watching began to whisper, "Hurry up, move the chess pieces. Lupine hasn't lost yet in wizard chess at school. When he was studying, Ravenclaw No one will play chess with him!"

The poor chess piece tried to say something, but was stared at by the professor who was watching, so he hesitated and started to pretend to be dead.

Lupine took the letter and came back quickly without opening it to read it. When he came back, he found that one bishop was missing from the chessboard.

Then, without saying a word, he killed the overconfident Adams to the same level as William before.

"I'm going to read the letter first. Is there anyone who can take it?"

Lupine asked happily - it could be seen that the exposure of his werewolf identity but not much change in his life made him feel relieved a lot, and he no longer had to work hard to hide the fact that he was a werewolf.

——

【Dear Moon Face:】

[I have read the recent newspapers carefully - I am very happy that you can continue to serve at Hogwarts...]

…

The letter was filled with unabashed congratulations and happiness, which made Lupine feel even better.

But the professors’ shouts soon came from behind him, “Professor Lupin, your letter!”

"Isn't it an offensive letter?"

Looking at the new owl, William was nervous - the letter just now came from Sirius, Lupin's best friend outside school, and now the new one...

No matter how hard the Ministry of Magic and the school explain it, there will always be people who think this is a conspiracy. The wizarding world is not that beautiful.

However, Lu Ping had stated in advance that he was prepared for all kinds of personal attacks - since he was determined to go public, he was not afraid of accepting criticism.

However, after a while, Lupine came back with a letter and a strange expression on his face.

"Professor William, please come out..."

'what's the situation? Howler letter? Professor Lupine should be able to handle it on his own...'

William followed out in confusion, and followed him all the way to Lupin's office, and then he saw the truth about the second letter...

Surprisingly, it was written by Sirius...

"Does he have a flock of owls?"

William complained while watching Lupine unfold the map and spread it across the entire table.

It was a huge map filled with large and small circles.

“What is this—a new board game?”

"A treasure map...Padfoot said it himself. He suspected that those places contained the truth about the disappearance of Muggles in that village..."

"The truth? Hasn't he found those missing people yet?"

The plan was made a long time ago, could something go wrong?

"No, he said in the letter that he plowed up the land around the entire village, but the result was nothing... so..."

Lupine handed the letter directly to William and asked him to see Sirius's thoughts.

"There's nothing wrong with the idea...It's very possible that something is hidden..."

William nodded, and then looked at the messy map.

"This is all..."

He took a look, and the more he looked, the uglier he felt - "What and what are these, who would hide things in a place like that!"

A quill flew up from the left, and William quickly made notes on the map.

"The woods here...are close to the main traffic road. If it hadn't been built later, the other party wouldn't have been able to hide here."

"The terrain here is too low. It is possible to dig holes to hide treasures, but the Inferi cannot be hidden. The workload is too great."

"..."

He cleared out about two-thirds of the circles in one go, all of which were completely unsuitable for being a treasure trove with the Inferi - the conditions for preserving the Inferi were so stringent, it really seemed like they could keep those guys anywhere. active?

Not to mention that some of the marked places were not suitable for hiding things from his point of view... He still wanted to hide things in a place where smuggling could not be temporarily stored. Are you kidding? It's impossible...

"Can't it be less?"

Lu Ping couldn't understand, but was shocked, but even so, he still gave ruthless guidance like Party A.

"It can only be more, not less. In some places, if a group of wizards work together to transform the landscape, they can still save things - but then the confidentiality will be lost. The other party must not be hiding it so secretly to share it with others."

Clapping his hands, William looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction - notwithstanding the little left, it would take Sirius at least two or three months to finish it.

It's not that easy to find things hidden by other wizards, not to mention that the Secrecy Law also imposes a lot of restrictions - a few square meters of land at a time, a little trial and error, and the remaining locations can tire him to the point of thinking. give up.

'But Blake's character... it's hard to make him give up... Once we find the location, I'll go over and have a look, and try what I've learned...'

"Professor Lupin, please tell Sirius when you write your reply that I plan to go and see the hidden place together after he finds out - of course, forget it during the summer vacation. If he is willing before the summer vacation, I will come as soon as possible. Rushed over."

"No problem, let's go there together and see what a real dark wizard can do."

Lupine agreed wholeheartedly - he knew very well that Sirius only cared about the adventure itself, and being able to share the adventure made him extremely happy.

"Finally...it's time for the exam."

Before the examination room, Ron sighed - these days are simply not life's best!

The surrounding Gryffindors nodded, they felt the same.

You are nervously preparing for the exam, and the people in the same lounge are out enjoying the sunshine and holidays - even if the other person does not have any ill intentions, it is uncomfortable enough, let alone those seventh graders who are particularly out of touch...

After all, there has never been any experience of opening Hogsmeade to seventh graders around the clock before, and these guys have saved a lot of galleons because of their internships - after entering Hogsmeade, it is like a social animal entering the school canteen, the whole thing is Choose something without looking at the price...

Except for a few special purebloods, how can the pocket money of current students compare with that of prospective graduates who earn wages?

These people did not hesitate to share various things with the younger students after a day of shopping. Those who looked a little familiar would bring a small package of things, but the candy in their mouths was simply a treat for their younger students. secondary damage…

"Ron, where are Harry and the others?"

"Exemption from the test..."

Ron responded angrily - he was just one step away from getting the stone ball, and he didn't have to spend a lot of time preparing for the self-defense course.

There were a lot of envious and jealous voices around, and everyone began to complain about why they didn't work harder on the previous tests. If they really did it, wouldn't they save themselves the worry of taking the final exam?

Although the level of tension is not comparable to that of OWLs, there are still people watching the final results when I get home...

But their regrets did not last long when they saw Lupine. The professor who had been involved in the werewolf controversy during this period did not look like the werewolves in various legends at this moment. He still looked very kind.

"Okay, let's prepare for the exam. I believe everyone has been preparing for a long time."

Lupine distributed the papers to the first row and asked them to pass them on.

In less than three minutes, someone noticed something was wrong.

"topic…"

He rubbed his eyes curiously, and then looked at the test paper again - why is the question so simple?

There are not a few students who like to review questions. Before long, nearly half of the candidates either discovered on their own or heard the people next to them marvel and found out that this test paper was as simple as letting water go...

"Are you kidding..."

Ron was also among the people who were shocked. The topic was so simple that he felt sorry for the notebook he borrowed from Hermione...

"Well, the score of this third-grade exam will be 50-50 compared to the score of the last test. The total score will be calculated later."

Lupine announced with a smile from above.

"Long live!"

The Gryffindor students were the first to couldn't help but cheer, followed by the students from other houses who couldn't hold back their excitement - I'd be sorry if I didn't get an O on this paper. The two results are superimposed, and passing is guaranteed!

'Change the score to 30 to 70 points for the fourth grade to ensure that those brave guys have a chance of passing...'

Lu Ping looked at the students with a smile, and remembered what William said in a roundabout way - be tougher at ordinary times, be more relaxed at the end of the semester, and get punished and awarded...

"Answer the paper carefully. If there are any irreparable consequences due to your mistakes, I will not change your scores."

"Yes, Professor!"

The third-year students responded loudly - What are the werewolves and not werewolves? If Professor Lupine is not allowed to come, should Professor William be allowed to preside over the exam?

——

"take an exam!"

Hermione suddenly woke up from her dream and subconsciously wanted to turn the time turner to quickly go to the examination room.

But after being frightened for a long time, she finally remembered that because of her perfect score, she was exempted from the final exam by the professor and the default grade was O.

"If it's not exempt from the exam... I have to use the converter again, right?"

She pulled out the small converter and stared at it in a daze.

In order to investigate Lu Ping's affairs, she even used this device. As a result, the newspaper directly spread what she found out...

"Because of this... I was almost embarrassed that I didn't get full marks in the maze... It wasn't a mistake..."

Hermione thought about her own experience of getting perfect marks - if everything was normal, she would never make such a stupid mistake.

‘Do I really need to use it? ’

She began to face her suspicions seriously - just like that wasted and frightening investigation... Is it really necessary?

'No...I am who I am. I wouldn't be able to learn so many subjects without relying on it, but I would still be number one without relying on it...I make a mess of myself for unnecessary subjects...'

After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind and took the time turner off her neck.

"Without you, I would still be number one."

She took one last look, held it in her hands, and left the dormitory towards Professor McGonagall's office.

When passing the portrait of the Fat Lady, the Weasley brothers happened to be sneaking by as well.

"Hermione...don't you want to take the exam?"

Fred asked cautiously.

"The exam has been completed, first place."

Hermione smiled and then slipped through the passage, leaving the two brothers behind with confused faces.
