Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Chapter 172 I Should Call You... Uncle Remus?

Harry complained in his heart, while fully opening the door of the box, he pulled the suitcase in.

The moment the box door was fully opened, Sirius who was trying to hide behind was exposed in Lupine's eyes.

!

This time it was Professor Lupine's turn to be wary.

His eyes widened in an instant, his pupils shrank slightly, and his right hand quietly retracted into his robe, firmly grasping his wand.

Sirius, on the other hand, lay down on the ground, showing his neck, and almost didn't bark.

Although he had been hiding behind the door before, Sirius also knew that he could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide forever.

When Moonface came to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he chose to follow Harry into Hogwarts, his exposure was inevitable.

Sirius was only praying in his heart now, and Remus still maintained his cautious character, giving himself a chance to explain.

In this way, maybe I still have a chance to continue hunting down that damned traitor.

Harry also keenly noticed that Professor Lupine's reaction was not right.

After he fully opened the door, he must have seen something, so his vigilance was instantly full.

But what's behind the door? Only his own luggage and the big black dog Blake on his hand.

There can't be a problem with his own luggage, so the only problem is Black.

It just so happens that this dog's origin is also very mysterious, with a certain lineage of magical animals, and the owner of the magical pet store has not identified the specific lineage.

In addition, there were no wizarding families around the Dursleys' house, and there was no news of anyone losing a dog.

The origin of this dog is very debatable.

Harry suddenly thought of a certain magic, and had some guesses in his mind.

But she didn't show it, she just secretly remembered this information.

Very cute dog, did you buy this? Professor Lupine still stared at Sirius.

He asked calmly, his voice a little more energetic and tense than before.

I picked up this dog. Harry replied,

I picked up this stray dog ​​over the summer and felt sorry for him and found out he had some kind of magical animal blood.

So I adopted him.

Professor Lupine nodded and said nothing more.

He was going to find a chance to be alone with Sirius, after all, there was Harry by his side now.

What if Sirius suddenly exploded and hurt James' child? Professor Lupine's cautious personality made it impossible for him to tell the truth now.

After putting away her luggage completely, Harry sat diagonally across from Professor Lupine.

It was still early at this time, and Harry took out a copy of Transfiguration Today from his pocket, and read it quietly.

Sirius was lying beside her legs, motionless, with the dog's head buried in his forelegs.

After paying attention to Sirius for a while, Professor Lu Ping found that he hadn't moved, so he also lowered his head, pretending to read today's Daily Prophet.

However, Sirius was always in the corner of his eyes, and Professor Lupine quietly clipped the wand into the newspaper, which could blow Sirius' head off at any time.

...

After watching Transfiguration Today for a while, Harry suddenly remembered something.

She always felt that Professor Lupine's face was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Harry finally remembered that he seemed to have seen him in the photo album Hagrid gave him, and there was a name note.

Thinking of this, Harry put down the journal in his hand and looked across: Professor Lupine.

What's wrong? Professor Lupine looked up from the newspaper.

Harry put his hands together, tilted his head, with a playful smile on his face: Professor Lupine, may I ask you a question?

Of course. Although Professor Lupine was puzzled, he still responded responsibly.

Professor, you should have a good relationship with my parents, right? The smile on Harry's face grew brighter.

I just remembered that Hagrid gave me a photo album and you appeared in it!

That should be a photo taken when I was about to graduate. My father held your neck and smiled very brightly.

If I'm not mistaken, I should call you - dear Uncle Remus?

The carriage was instantly quiet. Sirius and Lupine held their breaths at the same time, and they could even faintly hear their heartbeats.

Harry didn't say much, just tilted his head slightly, with the playfulness of a little girl on his face.

Uncle Remus? Seeing that Professor Lupine didn't respond for a long time, Harry repeated it again.

There was a slight grinding sound from Sirius' dog's mouth, he was so jealous of Remus!

Eh... um... um! Professor Lu Ping first uttered a series of ambiguous particles, and finally realized

There was a wry smile on his face, his nose was sour, and there was a faint sparkle in his eye sockets.

It seems you know the news. Professor Lupine forced a smile, James has a good daughter.

Of course, I am indeed a good friend of your father and mother, you can also call me Uncle Remus.

Hee hee, Uncle Remus pretended not to know me earlier. Harry chuckled lightly twice.

No, I just...

Before Professor Lupine finished speaking, Harry interrupted him with a smile:

I understand, Uncle Remus.

Over the years, none of my parents’ friends have visited me, probably because you have your own reasons.

So I can understand.

Harry had a sunny smile on his face, but there were faint tears in his eyes.

This made Professor Lupine feel a little dazzling, and Sirius, who looked up at Harry, also lowered his head. The two were in a trance for a moment.

Professor Lu Ping opened his mouth, glanced at Sirius subconsciously, and then sighed:

Harry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But there's something I can't tell you just yet.

I hope you can forgive my incompetent uncle.

Harry didn't speak, but just lowered his head, but a little devilish smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

Harry!

When it was almost half past ten, the door of the box was opened again.

Hermione was dragging the luggage, and Crookshanks was lying on top of the box.

As soon as she opened the door, she couldn't wait to say hello, and then she found that Professor Lupine was still sitting in the box.

At this time, Professor Lupine was obviously very tired, but he was still leaning against the window, half-closed his eyes, trying to keep himself from falling into a dream.

Hearing Hermione's shout, Professor Lupine woke up instantly.

Sorry, Professor Lupine! Hermione had already seen the box and guessed Lupine's identity after Harry's gesture, and apologized quickly.

...

...

(Thanks to Nine-Tailed Yanhu for the reward!)
