Professor, please pay the debt

Chapter 127 Christmas at Grimmauld Place Chapter 7

Alarm bells sounded in Harry's heart, and he carefully looked at Lupine's appearance with alert eyes...

He looked young, but his flaxen hair had been streaked with gray, and his sickly, tired face made it easy to suspect that life was not going his way.Of course, it's also easy to get sympathy.

He has soft facial features and eyes that are always smiling. Although crow's feet appeared in the corners of his eyes early, it did not affect his look between looking and looking, but added a kind of indifference and tranquility after experiencing the world.

In good conscience, Lupine was a charming wizard.

and so……

"You shouldn't be coming back, Remus!"

Harry said hypocritically, "Although I miss you very much and look forward to your letter, I know that being a spy is a very dangerous job, and your safety is the most important thing!"

Come on, go back to your wolf den, don't show yourself to Severus, he doesn't need your gratitude!

"No, don't listen to him, Remus!"

Hermione returned to the living room at some point, holding a shiny silver plate in her hand. When she put the plate on the coffee table, Harry noticed that there was a pot of tea and two plates of biscuits in it——

Harry and Ron glanced at each other. They both forgot to entertain the guests, and Lupine just sat there after entering the door!

"Have a cup of tea first, Harry's black tea is very good..."

Hermione greeted Lupine and gave the two boys a warning look that kept them from reaching for the biscuit.

After Lupine thanked her and moistened her throat with black tea, Hermione said, "Listen, I don't mean to question your work, but you're really in a bad situation and I don't know what's causing it.

But it must have something to do with you living among werewolves, don't get me wrong, I have due respect for the job of espionage, but I don't think you will achieve anything..."

"Hermione! You can't do this! Do you think Remus is me and Ron? Why do you want to control everyone!"

Harry heard Hermione's intentions, and the little witch wanted to persuade Lupine to give up his spy work, which made Harry feel a sense of crisis, and he criticized Hermione very severely.

"I just……"

Hermione tried to defend herself but was interrupted by Lupine.

"It's okay, Harry, I understand Hermione's kindness, she cares about me! But I can't accept that, sorry, Hermione!" said Lupine.

Harry was relieved, he personally refilled a cup of tea for Lupine, and enthusiastically recommended Kreacher's cookies, "Eat something, Remus, sweets can make people feel good."

"Harry, persuade him, there's no need for Remus to go back, you can deal with werewolves, even Fenrir is no match for you." Hermione said eagerly.

When talking about Fenrir, Lupine's body stiffened for a moment, and he put back the teacup that had just been picked up, and the werewolf looked at Harry with his gentle brown eyes, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Harry! "

……

The trio were a little bewildered, and they looked at each other questioningly, and Lupine, a little embarrassed by their reactions, explained, "I mean Fenrir, I'm glad you killed him, either Not to avenge me."

That article by Rita!

That rotten article full of base feelings!

Miss Beetle, whose imagination is violent, abruptly broke the bloody wolf slaughter into a romantic love story in which she becomes a beauty in anger.And Lupine is the legendary confidante.

Apparently, Lupine also saw Rita's article.

It can be seen that the influence of "The Quibbler" has extended to the world of werewolves.

"Merlin! Fenrir really bit you!" Hermione was the first to realize, she screamed in surprise, "That story turned out to be true!"

Harry and Ron also remembered that Hermione was referring to Rita's article, the one that had caused the Guardians to protest - the love-hate relationship between two generations of Potters and werewolves.

"No!" Harry screamed in denial, "it can't be all true, at least the part about me is false!"

Damn Rita!

In it, she implies that Harry is in love with his father's lover, Professor Lupine.

Good guy!

The tables turned suddenly, and now it wasn't Harry who was wary of potential rivals, it was Severus who might be jealous again!

"We all know it's fake..."

Lupine distanced himself before someone else said something more embarrassing, "But I was bitten by Fenrir, it's true... When I was very young, I thought he was out of control Infected me, at that time I already knew what it was like to be a wolf, I even sympathized with him, in my imagination, he would definitely blame himself for biting me. At that time, my impression of Fenrir Not bad. But when I'm older, he'll be..."

The three of them were dumbfounded. They stared at Lupin without blinking, waiting for him to say a bloody sadomasochistic relationship, but Lupine turned a corner here, and the love disappeared.

"It was my father who told me the truth. The Dark Lord wanted my father to do something for him, so he sent Fenrir."

Lupine is lying!

Harry thought angrily, blame me for everything!I don't remember knowing a gentleman named Lupine, huh!

"Ah... Remus, everything is over..." Hermione tried to comfort him, "Fenrir is dead, you should start a new life!"

Both Harry and Ron looked at her with horrified eyes-is it really okay to say it so bluntly?

Hermione also realized that she had said something wrong, and she explained in a panic, "I just want to say, you don't need to go back to being a spy, Merlin will testify, I have no other intentions!"

"Yes, she was just talking about your job!" Ron also helped her explain, but it always sounded weird.

The atmosphere became very awkward, Lupine couldn't hold his head up anymore, and wished he could bury himself in the sofa.Harry had to come forward to clean up the mess.

"It's getting late, why don't you two go to bed!"

As if Hermione had been pardoned, she said good night and went upstairs. Ron was a bit reluctant to part, obviously wanting to hear gossip, so Harry could only remind him, "People from the French Ministry of Magic will come to pick you up tomorrow morning." Us, if you stay in bed, you will be ashamed and thrown abroad."

Ron still had a sense of national pride, and he left the drawing room, though regrettably.

"Okay, Remus, you stay here too..." Harry said, "Don't bother, I can go to the Burrow..."

"Go again tomorrow, it's midnight now." Without giving him another chance to refuse, Harry called Kreacher and asked him to carry Remus' salute to Sirius' former bedroom.

"Harry, you're more of an adult than I am, even a parent. Hermione and Ron seem to be used to listening to your arrangements."

After Kreacher muttered and left, Lupine still had no intention of going to sleep. He poured himself another cup of tea and seemed to have a long talk.

"That's because I'm always right."

Harry was about to wriggle his tail with pride.His proud demeanor was undoubtedly very pleasing in Lupine's eyes, which made the gloomy werewolf show a gentle smile again, "You know, you look very much like James. When he speaks in an affirmative tone, he always It can give people confidence, and I always feel that there is nothing to worry about when I have him by my side. It was the best time in my life, but it's a pity that the good times don't last long."

Lupine's nostalgic tone made Harry very uneasy, and he couldn't help but suspect that Rita's article was a factual report.Fortunately, however, Lupine quickly turned the conversation to work.

"I don't like spy work either, but it's necessary, and who better than me for the job? It's just that it's hard to gain their trust.

I bear the unmistakable imprint of living among wizards who shun normal society, live on the fringes, steal and eat—

Kills people sometimes, but lately they've all been honest, and no one dares to leave Wolf Village... It's all because of you, you scared them. "

Harry didn't know whose position Lupine was talking to himself at this time, he asked blankly, "Am I making your life worse?"

"No, no, my life couldn't be any worse. In fact, it's a good thing for me not to have to work hard to dissuade them."

Harry grunted, that's all right.

Then there was an awkward silence between the two, and it was about a cup of tea before Lupine summoned up his courage and said:

"They asked me to come, to negotiate with you..."

"negotiation?"

As soon as he got down to business, Harry became shrewd. It only took him a second to find the crux of the problem, "What are you talking about, after Fenrir's death, are the werewolf's political tendencies?"

Such a keen Harry surprised Lupine, "Oh, you guessed right! It probably means that, you know, they used to be on the Dark Lord's end, mainly because of Fenrir, who was cruel by nature, and he was not the same as him." The Death Eaters are closer, no one dared to object when he was around, but now..."

Now that Fenrir is dead, the werewolf's loyalty to the Dark Lord is over.

"Then..." Harry stared at Lupine playfully, "Who is the new leader of the werewolves? It can't be you, can it?"

When Harry asked this question, he already knew the answer in his mind - Lupine could not.

Because werewolves worship the strong, only a strongman can lead the beasts. Lupine, who has a gentle personality, is destined to fail in the circle of werewolves.

"Why do you think so?" Lupine was even more surprised than before. "I... I was just doing Dumbledore a favor, and I will return to wizarding sooner or later. Afterwards, the werewolves had no leader, and they were very scared. No one dared to be the next leader. You might not believe it, and some people even suggested that you should be the leader. This is quite strange, isn’t it?”

"It's not too strange!" Harry said calmly, "This is not uncommon in the history of werewolves. Fenrir took this position only after killing the previous leader. They believe in the law of the jungle, and whoever is the strongest will obey the law of the jungle." Who's... simple and rude! Ha!"

In fact, Harry had already thought of this when planning how to deal with the werewolf attack on Hogsmeade, and it was because of this that Fenrir had to die.

"Then, then you will..." Lupine's expression had escalated to horror, "No!"

Harry smiled and denied, "I'm not interested in being the leader of anyone. I've never thought about it, and I won't in the future. You can rest assured that I don't have such ambitions!"

"Harry! This is a serious question!" Lupine said with a rare reproach.

"Alright alright……"

Harry's attitude became serious as he expected, "Before we negotiate, please allow me to explain my attitude first. The reason why I killed Fenrir was not because of his race, but because of his race." position.

As we all know, Voldemort and I are eternal enemies, and Fenrir took refuge in him, so he became my enemy as a matter of course.

As for the other werewolves, they don't have to be afraid of me, I'm not a racist, and I never want to exterminate anyone.

In fact, I believe in Hegel's famous saying - existence is justified!Werewolves have a longer history than wizards, both are part of the magical world, why can't we coexist peacefully! "

No one wants to live in peace with werewolves!

Even Lupine himself didn't have such a luxury. Wizards hate werewolves, which is a matter of course.

Lupine was grateful to all those who saw him as a wizard, and in his self-knowledge, also regarded himself as a wizard, and regarded the status of werewolf as a forced, helpless, shame that he had to face.

He is inferior!I always thought that I didn't deserve better!

Now, someone told him that werewolves are a reasonable existence, think about it, how touched he would be!

So, amidst Lupine's sincere touch and Harry's hypocritical tolerance, they started negotiations on the future fate of werewolves... The result can be imagined.

Harry was handing Lupine a four-inch canine tooth when Ron came downstairs, yawning.

If you observe carefully, you will find that there is an obvious red line on this canine, which is the characteristic that distinguishes the innate werewolf from the acquired werewolf, and this canine comes from the last innate werewolf - Fenrir Greyback.

Lupine caught it with trembling hands. It was a token Harry gave him to control the werewolf tribe.

No problem at all!

Both Harry and Lupine knew in their hearts that the werewolves had actually surrendered, and they just wanted to find out what the savior had to say.

……

Harry set foot on the European continent in a happy mood, and he had every reason to be happy. This not only solved the werewolf problem.

More importantly, another member of the Order of the Phoenix actually broke away from Dumbledore's control. After the Weasleys, Harry poached the corner of the old lunatic again!

Remus Lupin, his identity has changed dramatically overnight, from Dumbledore's spy to Harry Potter's spokesperson.Of course, he'd be working away from England, away from... Professor Snape.
