Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"You should go and explain to Grandma Tina yourself." Dean felt that Lupine seriously lacked self-confidence.

"She didn't ask directly, it's just your guess, so-" Lupine shrugged, "I don't think she would give me a chance to refuse."

"Rolf spends most of his time in Hogwarts. Since the last incident, the principal will definitely protect him. I guess Grandma Tina's original intention is just to ask you to provide information to Rolf when he leaves Hogwarts." Protection - it's actually very simple. After he leaves Hogwarts, he will immediately use Apparition to go home. You just need to protect him during this period of time." Dean's mouth was a little dry, and he found that he was quickly editing Can't go down anymore.

In order to make Lupine accept the 500 Galleons with peace of mind, Dean was at a loss for words.

Lupine thought for a long time before reaching out to take the Wolfsbane potion and the money bag: "I will go to Ms. Tina in person to make it clear."

It seems necessary to send a letter to Master Newt and ask him to help resolve this matter.

Dean felt so tired, and had an urge to find Nymphadora Tonks and introduce her to Lupin. Unfortunately, judging from her age, Tonks should have just graduated from Hogwarts and is currently in the hospital. In training as an Auror, Dean didn't know where to find her.

"Dean, protecting Rolf is Ms. Tina's request, not yours. So what is your real request?" Lupine asked after carefully putting away the wallet.

"Actually, I want to ask you to investigate something." Dean said, "You must be wondering why I asked you to find the genealogy of the Black family."

"I did have speculations."

"Actually, I suspect that I have the blood of the Black family." Dean reported his biological father's name, "Brian Xiao, have you heard of this name?"

Lupine had an expression of disbelief on his face. After looking at Dean carefully, he suddenly said: "I was wondering just now why I felt so familiar with you. Now that you said it, I remembered it. You do look a lot like Xiao, could it be——"

"If my investigation is correct, he should be my biological father."

"Xiao actually has a child?" Lu Ping was shocked, "I just heard that he got married soon after graduation, and I never heard from him again. I really didn't expect it!"

"How much do you know about my biological father?" Dean couldn't help but ask.

"We went to school together at Hogwarts, but we didn't have a deep connection because my friends and I regarded him as a shame to Gryffindor." Lupine said with some shame.

"So he's also a Gryffindor?" Dean was a little surprised.

"We all felt that the Sorting Hat must have made a mistake. There was no doubt that he should be sorted into Slytherin. Even he himself thought so - he had been very close to the Slytherin people during school. , especially Severus Snape and Regulus Black, the three of them are considered an alternative small group."

"Pfft~" Dean couldn't help but squirted. He didn't expect Lupine to reveal such a big melon.

"How is this possible? I heard that Professor Snape didn't have any friends during school, except Lily Evans." Dean couldn't help but question.

"Theoretically, it is correct. Snape was very unsociable, and only Lily could talk to him, but then the two had a falling out." Lupine said a little shyly, "Later - maybe because of James... we He often made some excessive moves against Snape, so in order to fight against us, he, Xiao and Regulus also formed a small group to fight against us."

"I must say that we were all too young at that time, so some of our actions were reckless and very irrational." Lupine added soberly.

"It's not surprising that Professor Snape and Regulus formed an alliance. After all, they are both Slytherin students, but how did my biological father get involved with them?" Dean was confused. "The Shame of Fendo" deeply stimulated him.

Dean remembered that the Sorting Hat strongly recommended that he go to Slytherin. Could it be that his father had encountered the same situation and insisted on being sorted into Gryffindor?

Then why did he ally with Snape and Regulus again?

"I'm afraid you have to ask the person involved about this question." Lupine smiled sheepishly, "Xiao and Regulus disappeared more than ten years ago. No one knows their whereabouts, but Snape has been in Huozhou. Gwartz teaches, I think you should ask him."

"I asked, but he refused to answer." Dean said helplessly.

"This is in line with his character." Lu Ping smiled.

"You just said you suspected that you have the blood of the Black family?" Lu Ping was halfway laughing, and his face suddenly stiffened, "This is impossible! As far as I know, Xiao's marriage partner seems to be a Muggle, how can you have the Black family? bloodline?"

"It's simple, because my biological father is from the Black family." Dean shrugged.

"Absolutely impossible! There are only two men of this generation in the Black family: Sirius and Regulus." Lupine flatly denied, "I have never heard them mention that Xiao is also a member of the Black family."

"This is where the root knot is." Dean took out the dragon skin bag and pointed to the Black family emblem on it and said, "This dragon skin bag can only be used by direct bloodlines of the Black family - like me."

Lupine carefully examined the emblem on the dragon skin bag and said, "Then you mean that the Black family blood in you comes from someone who was removed from the Black family?"

As the oldest and noblest Black family, they often do stupid things and have family members expelled for being close to half-bloods or Muggles, so Lupine is not unusual.

"That's why I asked you to investigate the Black family genealogy." Dean said.

"I have another question. Generally speaking, after being removed from the family tree, the removed bloodline descendants should not be able to use bloodline treasures. Why can you still use them?" Lu Ping found a doubt.

"I don't know, but I think there are two possibilities. One is that my ancestor was not actually deprived of the qualification to be a blood descendant by the patriarch at that time; the other is that my ancestor had already obtained the qualification before being removed. I have received the approval of this dragon skin bag, which means that the dragon skin bag has become the exclusive inheritance of my branch." After knowing that his bloodline might come from the Black family, Dean read many books about bloodline. This is what he The two most likely conclusions reached after the research.

"You are most likely right, but you still need some strong evidence." Lupine said.

"This is what I want to ask you to continue to help investigate." Dean said, "Help me check Sirius and... the Regulus you just mentioned. I think my bloodline can only be verified from them. .”

"Sirius..." Lupine said with a complicated expression, "He has been thrown into Azkaban. I'm afraid you can't verify it through him."

"You can try. If it doesn't work, please help find Regulus." Dean said.

"I'm willing to help you with this, but please don't pay me any more." Lupine said seriously. His self-esteem did not allow him to continue accepting funding from Dean in the name of employment.
