HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Filch watched Harry as he walked towards the Gryffindor common room as if he were a suspect about to play a prank until he disappeared.

That sticky gaze was staring at him, and Harry felt uncomfortable all over.

Not only did he feel uncomfortable physically, but he also felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Why should Filch treat him as a suspect when he clearly didn't do anything?

Harry's originally depressed and melancholy mood now became sad and aggrieved.

Why not go see Hedwig! She must miss me.

Harry went up a flight of stairs, which turned and moved away from its original direction.

He was walking down the corridor and was stopped.

"Harry? Why are you here?" Lupine saw Harry walking alone in the corridor without the two children behind him, "Where are Hermione and Ron?"

"Going to Hogsmeade." Harry tried his best to hide his envy, fearing that his favorite professor would know that he was looking forward to it but couldn't go.

It sounded so pathetic, and Harry didn't want anyone to pity him.

Seeing this child alone, Lu Ping felt a little uncomfortable.

So he called Harry into his office and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Lupine looked at the child in front of him, and seemed to see the James of his past through time.

James used to be so flamboyant and proud, but now Harry has a different personality from his father.

Lupine knew that he was not doing well at his Muggle aunt's house, Dumbledore had mentioned it to him.

He felt a little more heartbroken for this child. This was James and Lily's child, and he was also the one he wanted to protect.

"Do you hate drinking tea now?" Lupine suddenly said, adding in Harry's doubtful eyes, "Professor McGonagall has told me about your Divination class."

Harry was supposed to hate drinking tea, and the tea dregs fortune telling was really annoying and frustrating.

But after learning that Lycoris chewed tea leaves like crazy to interrupt Professor Trelawney's divination in the divination class, she felt much more relaxed.

"No!" Harry smiled at Professor Lupin, "No! Professor, I like tea very much."

To prove that he was telling the truth, he blew on the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that Harry was not affected by the bad divination results, Lupine breathed a silent sigh of relief.

"Professor, why didn't you let me face my Boggart, the Dementor, that day?"

"Because..." Before Lu Ping could explain, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in--"

Professor Lupine let people in, and then Harry saw someone he didn't want to see - Potions Professor Snape.

Snape had not expected that Potter would be in Lupin's office. He stopped and looked at him with black eyes.

The green eyes were obscured by the steaming water of the black tea and were hazy.

"Severus, would you please put it on the table? Thank you." Lupine knew that he was here to deliver the Wolfsbane potion - to deliver it to him for his daughter Lycoris.

Snape thought about his daughter's words to watch Professor Lupine drink it himself, but he did not put it on the table.

Instead, he walked straight over and handed over the goblet in his hand, "You should drink it directly, Lupin."

"Okay, okay, I'll drink it." Lu Ping looked helplessly at the person in front of him and took it.

Snape watched Lupine drink the wolfsbane potion, his facial expression was the same as that of a new student drinking the energizing potion in the hospital wing for the first time.

Painful and twisted, it's delightful to watch.

Lycoris always made Snape feel some secret joy in strange places.
