A Hogwarts dissertation guide

When Hermione and her two useless men woke up, Sirius had already left. He could hardly wait to go to James Potter's side. He had been waiting for this moment for 12 years.

They left the ward at noon on the third day and found the castle almost deserted.The heat and the end of term exams meant it was time for everyone to make the most of another visit to Hogsmeade.

However, Ron and Hermione didn't want to go, so they and Harry wandered around the grounds, still discussing the extraordinary events of the previous few nights, and wondering what kind of consequences Peter Pettigrew would pay for what he had done. cost.They sat by the lake and watched the giant squid lazily waving its tentacles on the surface.

Harry looked across the river, wondering where they were talking.His father also came to see them yesterday, and happily invited Ron and Hermione to visit their home during the holidays.

A shadow fell on them. They looked up and saw Hagrid with blurred eyes. He wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief as big as a tablecloth and looked at them with a smile on his face. Instead of the moleskin coat, he was now wearing a well-tailored casual suit, which made Hagrid look at least ten years younger.

Not only that, his disheveled hair and beard were also carefully taken care of, and he smelled not too strong of cologne.

"I know I shouldn't be happy, that happened before." He said, "I mean, that happened to Ron. But you also know...Buckbeak won the case and he didn't have to face the death penalty. .”

"That's great." Hermione said, and several people looked at each other and laughed. Compared with what they had experienced, Buckbeak's incident seemed not so worthy of celebration - but looking at Hagrid, it seemed that this Even more pleasurable than what happened with Sirius.

"But I don't know if you saw the special issue of the Daily Prophet yesterday," Hagrid said, looking worriedly towards the field. "I'm a little worried about Professor Lupin... When I saw him this morning, he said He didn't eat anything last night..."

"What?" Harry asked quickly.

"Oh, did you really not see it?" Hagrid said, his eyes retracted, and he lowered his voice, even though there was no one nearby, "Oh... I don't know where Skeeter got the news. She made it public that year. The truth...starting with how Lupine turned into a werewolf, everyone probably knows it now...Professor Lupine is a werewolf, do you understand? And he was walking around the grounds this morning, I think he must want to finally Look here, it's natural. He's probably packed his bags."

"He packed his luggage?" Harry asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Come on, shouldn't we?" said Hagrid, surprised that Harry asked. "The first thing he did when he got up this morning was to resign, saying that he could no longer take risks for fear of harming other innocent people."

Harry stood up hurriedly, "I'm going to see him." He said to Ron and Hermione.

"But if he resigns..."

"It doesn't sound like there's much we can do to help..."

"I don't care, I still want to see him. I'll come here to find you later."

Lupin's office door was open and he had packed most of his things.Grindylow's empty water tank stood beside his battered trunk, open and almost full.Lupine was bent over something on his desk, and he only glanced up when Harry knocked on the door.

"I saw you coming," Lupine said with a smile, pointing to the parchment he had been looking at, which was the Marauder's Map.

"I just saw Hagrid," Harry said. "He said you had resigned. Is he right?"

"I'm afraid that's right," said Lupine, and he began to open the desk drawer and take out the contents.

"Why?" Harry asked, "The Ministry of Magic has proven Sirius' innocence. They won't hold you responsible, will they?"

Lupine walked to the door and closed it behind Harry.

"That's right. But I can't cause any more trouble to Professor Dumbledore." Lupine sighed, and soon smiled again, "After all, not everyone can accept a werewolf professor, even if I only have one day a month It turns into a wolf at night.”

"You can't leave us because of this!" said Harry.

Lupine smiled bitterly, "At this time, Professor Dumbledore's windowsill is probably full of owls - letters of complaint from parents. They don't want werewolves to teach their students, Harry. And, I think they are right, I might bite any one of you..."

"But there is Wolfsbane potion!" Harry said quickly, "Professor Snape will brew it for you, don't leave! You are the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher we have ever had!"

Lupine shook his head and said nothing.He continued packing the drawers, and then, as Harry was thinking of reasons for him to stay, Lupine said: "Don't be too sad, Harry. I won't leave England after I leave Hogwarts. James invited me and Sirius spent the summer vacation together, and I think he must not have figured out how to adapt to this peaceful era. After all, just before he was resurrected, all the memories still stayed on that night."

"Well, can I see you again during the summer vacation?" Harry asked distractedly.

"Yes, I think you can see me probably every holiday." Lu Ping smiled again, "Don't underestimate the feelings of us old men! You must know that we are the best when we are studying. We are friends. After graduation, we lived in your house for a long time - oh, by the way, you were not there yet!"

Lupine threw the last few books into the trunk, closed the desk drawer, and turned to look at Harry.

He hesitated for a moment, then handed the Marauder's Map to Harry, "I'm no longer your teacher, so I don't think there's anything wrong with giving this back to you. This map is of no use to me anymore. , I dare not say that you, Ron and Hermione will find a use for this map."

Harry took the map and smiled, "You told me that Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs would lure me away from school... you said they would think it was funny."

"Well, why don't you ask your father?" Lupine stopped what he was doing, blinked and smiled, "After all, he was always our backbone back then. Maybe you should know more from him. . I think it’s up to him to tell you.”

"Yeah." Harry nodded.

There was a knock on the door, and Harry quickly stuffed the Marauder's Map into his pocket.

It was Professor Dumbledore, and he was not surprised to see Harry here.

"Your car is at the gate, Remus."
