I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Mrs. Rosmerta quickly brought three large mugs of hot, frothy butterbeer.

Sirius raised his mug and said, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Rove, Shirley, and Hermione all raised their glasses, took a sip of the mellow butter beer, and their bodies gradually warmed up.

Sirius, I heard you quarreled with Professor Snape again this morning? Rove asked curiously.

Snape is just finding fault. He wants to confine Harry and prevent him from coming to Hogsmeade. Sirius snorted coldly:

Remus, did you know that Snape taught at Hogwarts?

I know, I heard about it many years ago. Lu Ping nodded unchanged and said:

I'm also surprised that Dumbledore would let him be a teacher here. It seems that you two don't get along very well?

I quarrel several times a day. Of course, it's limited to bickering now, but sooner or later there will be a fight. Sirius sneered and said:

He talks bad about me at Dumbledore all day long, opposes my being a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and wants to kick me out of Hogwarts.

It's normal for Snape not to like you. You once joked with him and almost killed him. Lupine shrugged, Of course, that joke had something to do with me.

What joke is so serious? Hermione asked curiously.

Hermione, Rolf should have told you that I am a werewolf. Lupine lowered his voice and said:

When I was in school, I used to walk through the Whomping Willow every month to transform into the Shrieking Shack. Once, Snape saw me, and he followed me secretly.

Sirius told Snape: As long as you touch the knot on the trunk with a long stick, you can follow me into the tree hole.

Sirius thought it would be... oh... fun. Anyway, Snape tried it.

Lupine paused for a moment, then continued: However, after James heard what Sirius was doing, he followed him, pulled him back, and saved his life...

Oh, that's too much! Hermione said with disbelief on her face, Professor Black, how could you let a student watch a werewolf transformation?!

Hermione, I was still young at that time, arrogant and arrogant, and I did things regardless of the consequences. Sirius seemed to be afraid that the three of Rove would have a bad impression on him, and hurriedly explained:

Plus we're sworn enemies with Snape, like Harry and Malfoy... Anyway, I did that stupid thing.

Fortunately, James saved Snape, but he obviously didn't appreciate it.

Lupine sighed softly and said, I am also responsible. Dumbledore asked me to be a prefect because he hoped that I could restrain James and Sirius... But I obviously failed his expectations.

It is indeed difficult to explain clearly the grievances and hatreds of those years.

Rove didn't want to continue this topic. He looked at the wizard beside Lupin and said in a low voice, Lupine, it's time for you to introduce this guest to us.

Yes, Rove, I have been chasing this guy for more than half a year, and I finally caught you. Lupine was a little excited, and reached out to lift the wizard's hat.

Under the hat was a middle-aged wizard. His cheeks and chin were covered by a very short gray and white thick beard. His face was dotted with interlaced wrinkles and several scars, making him look hideous.

Rove looked at the man and said with a smile: Mr. Gibbon, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet again one day, it's great... Merry Christmas.

That's right, today's guest is Gibbon.

He went to Hermione's house with the werewolves Fenrir Greyback and Fanny during the summer vacation and attacked them.

Rove killed Fenrir Greyback and Fanny, but let Gibbon escape.

After Lupine resigned and returned to England, he spent this time helping Rove hunt down Gibbon.

At this time, Gibbon's whole body was bound by the spell, only his mouth could move. He looked at Rove in horror and said:

Scamander, please don't kill me...I can give you a lot of information.

After seeing the dead bodies of Fenrir Greyback and Fanny in the newspaper, Gibbon developed a deep fear of the teenager.

Of course, we can talk about everything, there is nothing we can't talk about. Rove raised his glass, took a sip of butter beer, and said with a smile:

Tell me first, who offered me a reward?

I don't know who that man is. Gibbon sighed, He always hides under a hood, and I can't see his face.

Your location, he also told us directly.

Rove narrowed his eyes. He took Shirley and Hermione to the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and met many reporters... Was it the leaked trace at that time?

When was the last time he saw you?

Just a week ago! Gibbon said urgently, He still contacted me, asking me to come to Hogsmeade to attack you this Christmas holiday, but I dare not.

Rove narrowed his eyes suddenly, and asked again: How did he contact you?

Gibbon said in a hoarse voice: He was very cautious and found me through the owl, but he would change the owl every time and ask me to meet.

Rove rubbed his brows, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, Gibbon, I don't need to kill you, but you have to cooperate with me now.

I am willing to cooperate... Gibbon hurriedly said, How to cooperate?

I want you to continue chatting with that person. Rove said in an erratic voice, You can properly agree to his request.

Lupine, you stay with Gibbon and help him answer the letter. I will lure that man out!

Okay, Rove. Lupine nodded seriously, Leave it to me.

After chatting about the details of leading the snake out of the cave, Rove took Shirley and Hermione away from the three broomsticks and walked on the road covered with snow.

Shirley said strangely: Rove, Nymeria clearly divination, the man is already dead, how could he still meet Gibbon a week ago.

This is also where I am puzzled. Rove sighed.

Is Nymeria the horsewoman who ran away from marriage? Hermione asked curiously.

It's her. Rove nodded and said, I went to her for a new divination recently, and the result of her divination showed that the wizard who rescued Peter is dead.

But he's clearly still in contact with Gibbon. Hermione puzzled, And the Patron Saint of Nixie on Halloween night...whose could it be?

I don't know what my patron saint will look like. Shirley asked softly, What does its shape usually have to do with it?

A Patronus is a reflection of all your most positive emotions, often in the form of the animal most associated with a wizard, explains Rove.

As the saying goes, a relationship is born from the heart...

The Patronus is the wizard of Nixie. I'm afraid he has a very naughty personality, greedy for money, like a rascal? Hermione interjected.

You can say that. Rove raised his chin and said in confusion, But I don't seem to have such a friend around me.

Hermione couldn't help but glance at Rove, she had this kind of friend by her side, right in front of her eyes!
