The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"This kind of thing has passed. I accept your apology."

After a long silence, Link finally said expressionlessly under the nervous gazes of Harry and Hermione.

To be honest, through the Legilimency spell at level 2, Link could feel that Harry really wanted to apologize to him sincerely.

But despite this, the so-called forgiveness that Link actually said was just perfunctory.

What Harry did this time really hurt Link's favorability.

Link is not a kindergarten kid, how could you let him let go of his grudge with such an understatement of apology?

In addition, Link and Harry have no interests involved.

If nothing else happens, it will be difficult for the relationship between Link and Harry to return to its past.

But Harry and Hermione didn't seem to realize this yet.

As soon as they heard Link say this, the two of them danced excitedly, almost jumping.

At this time, Link finally discovered the dense circle of red scars on Harry's neck.

Thinking of what Emily mentioned before, Link frowned and asked pretending to be curious:

"Harry, how did you get this injury?"

As soon as he said this, the smile on Harry's face stopped, and he quickly covered his neck and said:

"No, it's nothing serious. It's just that I was accidentally splashed by hemp straw juice when I was in Potions class."

"Is that right?"

Link obviously didn't believe it, and began to look at Hermione and Ron with questioning eyes.

Hermione obviously didn't want to say anything, she lowered her head and remained silent.

Ron hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said under Link's gaze:

"Oops! It's actually that guy Malfoy! He's getting more and more outrageous now! He's been trying to find ways to cause trouble for Harry all day long. Previously, Malfoy used intrigues and tricks to provoke Harry into beating him, which ended up hurting Harry. Being imprisoned! This time Harry's injury was caused by Malfoy and Snape colluding together to intentionally harm Harry! Link! You..."

"That's enough Ron, stop talking!"

Harry quickly interrupted Ron.

Ron obviously wanted to say something more, but Harry simply covered his mouth afterwards.

But even so, he was still looking at Link expectantly.

The meaning hidden in his eyes was already obvious.

I just hope that Link can come forward to solve this problem, or directly teach Malfoy a lesson.

To be honest, for Link, this kind of thing is just a matter of moving his mouth. Draco is now very afraid of him.

But Link had no desire to do so.

Hearing this, he just nodded and said nothing.

Because it was obvious that the reason why Draco dared to confront Harry so arrogantly now must have Emily's support behind him.

This is Emily's so-called revenge plan.

Emily did this to vent her anger for him. If he tried to stop Draco, wouldn't he mistake Emily's kindness for nothing?

And I have to say that Emily's approach is indeed very clever.

After she implemented this set of procedures, even if Dumbledore was angry, he would not be able to blame Emily. After all, everything was done by Draco out of his own will.

And because of Link's silence, the atmosphere at the scene began to become awkward.

Ron even lowered his head following Harry's example. He already knew Link's answer.

At this moment, Hermione saw something was wrong and hurriedly stood up and changed the subject:

"Let's not talk about this, Link, but there is one more thing. I really hope you can help me."

"Let's talk about it first."

Link said calmly.

"It's Professor Lupin," Hermione looked at Harry and Ron, then pursed her lips and said slowly, "He will resign soon, and before he leaves, he wants to see you."

Link raised his eyebrows and said:

"Is it because of the werewolf thing?"

Hermione nodded with an ugly expression.

Link understood instantly upon seeing this.

There are many smart people in Hogwarts. Although neither Link nor Hermione have revealed Lupine's werewolf identity, as time goes by and Snape has hinted before, someone will find out. Lupine's werewolf status is completely normal.

And once his werewolf identity is exposed, there will be no possibility of continuing to teach at Hogwarts.

Because no matter how Dumbledore explains it, parents simply allow their children to live with a werewolf day and night.

This is not because parents are unreasonable, but just normal risk avoidance.

Werewolf disease is contagious.

From a certain perspective, Dumbledore's excitement in letting Lupine come to Hogwarts to teach was essentially extremely irresponsible for the safety of other students.

Of course, Link is not qualified to say such things.

After all, he is a ticking time bomb himself.

As for what Hermione said, Link originally didn't want to see Lupin.

You must know that in the Sirius incident, Lupine did much more than Harry and the others.

This makes Link not have the slightest fondness for Lupine now.

But considering that Lupine had helped him when he first traveled through time, Link finally sighed and said:

"Why didn't he come to me in person?"

"He has no chance to meet you." Hermione lowered her head and said, "The shouting letters from parents of students can fill two large sacks every day. Professor Lupin has now become the target of public criticism, and he has never appeared at all. Don't come. Now, even the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is taught by Professor Snape."

Link nodded and said:

"When is he going to leave?"

"The exact time has not yet been determined, but it is not expected to be too long."

"Really? Then I'll go see him off when the time comes." Link nodded, "It can be regarded as settling a period of cause and effect."

Hermione and Harry originally heard that Link was going to see Lupin off, and they all had happy smiles on their faces.

But after hearing the second half of Link's words, the smile froze again.

Because of what Link said, he clearly didn't mean to forgive Lupine at all.

This made Harry hesitate to speak.

But at this time, Link was no longer interested in chatting with Harry and the others.

He looked at the pocket watch he carried with him, raised his head and said:

"Then it's settled like this. You go back and have a good rest. Goodbye."

After saying that, Link turned and walked away, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Only Harry and the three of them were left standing in the corridor. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they remained silent for a long time.

……

In the days that followed, Link gradually adjusted back to his schedule and began to take regular breaks between classes.

After all, he had completely absorbed the knowledge of Occlumency, and the knowledge in the thick black notebooks also needed to be gained slowly from Snape.

What's more, there's not much time left before the final exams at Hogwarts.

Link also needs to catch up on some extra lessons.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if he really failed a few and went back.

Professor Lupine finally formally submitted his resignation to Dumbledore the day before the exam.

Then, Lupine packed his broken suitcase and prepared to leave Hogwarts.

Today, he put on a brand new black trench coat, and trimmed his hair and beard. He looked energetic, completely different from when he first came to Hogwarts.

Link also kept his promise and took Emily to the gate of the castle to see Lupine off.

There were many people like Link who came to see Lupin off.

In addition to Harry and Hermione, a small group of people had gathered around the foyer of the castle. Many of them seemed to be a little reluctant to leave Lupine, and a few lower-grade students even made some special remarks. Small gifts such as flowers were lined up to be given to Lu Ping.

This kept Harry and Hermione busy.

They must maintain order at the scene.

Of course, there are more people hiding in the dark and watching with cold eyes and enjoying hearing about it.

Snape is a typical example.

He sat in the auditorium early that day and watched Lupine accept the farewell gift. The smile on his face almost reached his ears.

In fact, Link even discovered that Snape had specially washed his hair today!

This was enough to prove his joy at Lupine's departure.

Link can understand it too.

After all, what could be more satisfying than seeing a former enemy being knocked from the clouds into the quagmire?

I guess Snape was thinking that after Lupine left, he could only continue to work odd jobs and live a precarious semi-vagrant life, right?

But Snape's wish is probably going to come true.

Lupine's condition was far better than Snape had expected.

He has been a professor at Hogwarts for such a long time, but he has saved a lot of savings. If he saves a little, it will be enough for him to live for a long time.

In addition, Lupine also reunited with his good brother Sirius, and helped Sirius win a chance to reverse the case.

The most important thing is that his health has improved under Mrs. Pomfleur's care in the past six months.

This can be seen from his hair that has turned black again and his rosy face.

It is worth mentioning that, from a certain perspective, part of Lupine's savings was contributed by Snape.

Because since the Sirius incident, Lupine has been taking leave due to the controversy caused by his werewolf identity.

Most of his Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons were taken by Snape.

It was a vicious cycle, as Snape would hint to the students that Lupine was a werewolf whenever he was in class.

Obviously this will make the students more resistant to Lupin.

However, although Lu Ping did not attend class, he still received his salary.

Snape, on the other hand, did not receive a dime as a substitute teacher.

This is equivalent to saying that Snape worked for Lupine for several months in vain, while Lupine hunkered down in his office and took his pay.

Well, although Snape did succeed in driving Lupine away in the end.

But this time, Link really doesn’t know who made the profit.

Perhaps, it can be regarded as some kind of win-win, right?

Taking a deep breath, Link looked away from Snape, turned and walked towards Lupin.

He has not forgotten that the purpose of coming to Lu Ping this time is to cut off the cause and effect.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Snape's face immediately disappeared.

But Link didn't care so much, and directly crossed the crowd and stood in front of Lupine.

"Link, I'm so happy that you can come and see me off." Seeing Link, Lupine looked very happy. "I need to apologize to you. It was my previous wrong judgment that made..."

"There's no need to apologize. I didn't come here to hear you say this."

Link interrupted expressionlessly, "There is a magical animal expert living in the central area of ​​Greenland. He also has a werewolf maid in his house. As far as I know, the other party's werewolf has never lost control and can be autonomous. Transformation. If you have time, go there and try your luck, maybe it can help you solve the problem of transformation."

"Ah this..."

Lupine was obviously shocked by Link and stood there speechless for a moment.

His expression looked very complicated.

Because he heard the determination in Link's words.

I'm afraid they will be strangers next time they meet, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Ping pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something else.

But Link didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left.

He was doing his best to inform Lupine of the information about Greenland.

Link had no interest in continuing to get involved in what happened next.

"What did you say to that wolf cub?"

As soon as Link left the hall, Snape's gloomy voice came from behind him.

He turned his head, and sure enough he saw Snape standing there with an extremely ugly expression.

It was obvious that Snape's pettiness had struck again.

Emily was a little panicked when she saw this, fearing that there would be a conflict between Link and Snape, so she stood between the two.

But Link said with a calm expression:

"I asked him to try his luck in Greenland when he has time. There is a female werewolf there."

Link knew very well that Snape, as a master of Occlumency, also had considerable attainments in Legilimency spells.

So what Link told him was completely true, but he just made some cuts in order to win his trust.

In fact, Link even turned off Occlumency.

And things were just as Link expected. Snape's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his expression softened instantly.

He said with a ferocious smile:

"You're right. That guy Lupin really needs to go to Greenland. It's best if he can give birth to a bunch of wolf cubs with that female werewolf!"

'That way you'll have something new to attack Lupine with next time, right? '

Link complained deep in his heart, but he chuckled and echoed the other person's words.

Snape was beaming with joy as Link made him smile, and he was in a great mood.

He looked at the thick black notebook that Link deliberately put under his arm, and said with a smile:

"We should have learned about the elixir of happiness last time, right?"

"Yes, you have just finished explaining the theoretical knowledge of Fuling Elixir to me, but the actual practice has not yet been carried out."

"I happen to be free today," Snape suppressed the smile on his face and pretended to be cold, "I have prepared all the materials, let's do it now."

After saying this, Snape turned and walked towards the office.

Link also hurriedly followed, and even took Emily's arm before leaving.

Link couldn't let Emily miss this opportunity to skip class.

As for Emily, she is still confused.

She had just witnessed Link deal with Snape with just a few words.

This made her unable to accept it for a while.

She knew how bad Snape's character was.
