Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 172 Should I call you...Uncle Remus?

Harley complained in her mind as she opened the door of the box completely and pulled the suitcase in.

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

!

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

His eyes widened instantly, his pupils shrank, and his right hand quietly retracted into his robe, tightly grabbing his wand.

Sirius, on the other hand, lay down directly on the ground, exposing his neck and barely barking.

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

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

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

In this way, he might still have a chance to continue hunting down that damn traitor.

Harry also keenly noticed that something was wrong with Professor Lupine's reaction.

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

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

There couldn't be a problem with his luggage, so the only one with a problem was Blake.

It just so happens that the origin of this dog is also very mysterious, with a certain bloodline of magical animals, and the owner of the magical pet store did not identify the specific bloodline.

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

The origin of this dog is very questionable.

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.

"What a cute dog. Did you buy this?" Professor Luping's eyes were still fixed on Sirius.

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

"I picked up this dog." Harley replied,

"I picked up this stray dog ​​during my summer vacation. I thought he was quite pitiful and discovered that he had the blood of some magical animal.

So I adopted him. "

Professor Luping nodded and said no more.

He was going to find a chance to be alone with Sirius, after all, Harry was with him now.

What if Sirius suddenly explodes and hurts James' child? Professor Lupine's always cautious character determines that it is impossible for him to tell the truth now.

After Harley put her luggage completely away, she sat diagonally opposite Professor Lupin.

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

Sirius was lying next to her legs, motionless, his head buried in his forelimbs.

After Professor Lupine paid attention to Sirius for a while, he found that he did not move, so he also lowered his head and pretended to read today's "Daily Prophet".

However, Sirius was always within the corner of his eye, and the wand was quietly tucked into the newspaper by Professor Lupin, who could blow Sirius's head off at any time.

……

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

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

After thinking over and over, Harry finally remembered that she seemed to have seen him in the photo album sent by Hagrid, and there was a name note.

Thinking of this, Harley put down the journal in her hand and looked across: "Professor Lupin."

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

Harry clasped his hands together, tilted his head, with a playful smile on his face: "Professor Lupin, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Although Professor Lu Ping was confused, he still responded responsibly.

"Professor, your relationship with my parents should be very good, right?" The smile on Harley's face became brighter.

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

That was probably a photo taken when I was about to graduate. My dad was holding your neck and smiling brightly.

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

The carriage was silent for a moment. Sirius and Lupine held their breath at the same time, and the heartbeats of both of them could even be vaguely heard.

Harley didn't say much, just tilted her head slightly, with a little girl's playfulness on her 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's dog's mouth. He was so jealous of this guy Remus!

"Uh... um... um!" Professor Lu Ping first uttered a series of unexplained modalities before finally reacting.

There was a wry smile on his face, his nose was sore, and there was a faint glimmer of light in his eyes.

"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. "

"Hehe, Uncle Remus pretended not to know me earlier." Harley chuckled twice.

"No, I just..."

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

"I understand, Uncle Remus.

Over the years, none of my parents’ friends have come to see me. Maybe you have your own difficulties.

So I can understand that. "

Harley had a sunny smile on her face, but there were tears in her eyes.

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

Professor Luping opened his mouth, glanced at Sirius unconsciously, and then sighed:

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

I hope you can forgive me for being such an incompetent uncle. "

Harley didn't speak, just lowered her head, but a devilish smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

……

"Harley!"

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

Hermione dragged the luggage while Crookshanks lay on top of the trunk.

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

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

Hearing Hermione's cry, Professor Lupin suddenly woke up.

"Sorry, Professor Lupin!" Hermione had already seen the box at Harry's signal and guessed Lupin's identity, so she apologized quickly.
