HP's Wretched

When Flott and Snape pushed open the door of the principal's office, the professors in the room were sitting there in sevens and eights, and basically all of them had come. Seeing the situation, Flott hurried to come late for them. Apologize for this incident: "I'm sorry everyone, I hope we are not late. I just ran into Minister Fudge at the door, so I chatted with him."

"It's okay, you came at the right time." Dumbledore's tone was still the same as usual, but his facial expression was as if he had just finished arguing with others, with exhaustion and disappointment. Flott guessed that he should break away from Minister Fudge just now. It doesn't matter.

Professor McGonagall obviously witnessed the whole process of their dispute just now: "I don't know if Fudge told you just now."

"What?" Flott and Snape didn't understand what Professor McGonagall meant, but they both understood that with such a dignified atmosphere, this matter shouldn't be a trivial matter.

Dumbledore still looked calm and composed as usual, as if the exhaustion from just now had completely disappeared from his face in a blink of an eye. After the professors took their seats, Dumbledore said: "Some of you here may have heard Some people haven’t heard of the new changes in Hogwarts this year, so I’ll repeat it here again. This year, because of Sirius Black’s prison escape, the dementors may be temporarily stationed in Hogwarts until until you catch him."

"What?" Some professors who came late and didn't see the dispute between Dumbledore and Fudge, now expressed their shock in unison.

"Merlin's beard, let the dementors be stationed at Hogwarts! Let something so dangerous be stationed here! Is the Ministry of Magic crazy?"

"What should the students do? Haven't they thought about the safety of the students?"

"Black's escape was originally the Ministry of Magic's fault, why should it affect Hogwarts!"

"During my divination yesterday, I saw a dark and ghostly omen, and it was as it should be."

The news was so heavy that the professors completely ignored their usual self-restraint, and all vented their anger and confusion in this chattering discussion.Just kidding, what is that, it's a dementor!Those underage students who don't have the ability to protect themselves actually want to live with that kind of ghost!This is simply a fantasy that I dare not even think about!

Flotte, who is usually quite calm, can't help cursing the smiling tiger Fudge in her heart now, oh my god, no wonder she feels gloomy these past few days, it turns out that there are so many scary monsters flying above her head thing.

"Okay, be quiet!" Dumbledore finally spoke, his expression was still as calm as usual, but his voice was full of majesty, "I know you are surprised, incomprehensible, and angry, and I was the same at the beginning Yes, but we overlooked one thing, what is the purpose of Blake's escape from prison this time?"

Snape's face was ashen, and he said in disgust: "What can that dirty traitor do if he escapes? It will definitely not be a good thing."

"The four of them had such a good relationship back then, but Black actually betrayed the Potter family and even killed Peter Pettigrew. I still can't believe it." Professor McGonagall's expression was unconcealable sadness and disbelief when he said this. Believe, "And he's the godfather of Harry Potter, Merlin, I hope the poor kid never knows the truth about it."

Dumbledore crossed his hands on the table and said, "As Minerva just mentioned, Harry is the key to this matter. Yes, I admit that I still can't believe this matter, but……"

"There is nothing unbelievable, even he himself has confessed his crime." Although Snape was still as indifferent as usual on the surface, Flotte, who was sitting next to him, could feel Snape's current indifference. Indescribable excitement.

Of course Dumbledore could sense Snape's emotional fluctuations, and he said in a slightly reassuring manner: "Yes, I know, Severus, this matter is already a fact, I know, It’s just that it’s hard to avoid some in my heart that I can’t agree with.”

Snape didn't bother with this sentence, but sat there with his back straight and cold.

"As I just said, the fact that Black is a loyal follower of Voldemort is already a fact we have to face, so his escape from prison is very likely to complete the unfinished task of his master—except Get rid of Harry." Dumbledore put this fact completely on the surface, "We cannot avoid this matter, he is very likely to come to Hogwarts to look for Harry, and may even hurt other people in the process. student."

Flotte here was not paying attention to what Dumbledore said. She was actually more worried about Snape's current state. Ever since Snape heard the news of Black's escape, he seemed to be in a bad mood, although Flote understood why, but she still couldn't help worrying.

Flott turned her head slightly, looked up at Snape, but was blocked by the shoulder-length black hair from exploring Snape's expression, her body leaned towards Snape indistinctly, with a very low voice, low Only the two of them could hear the voice asking concerned: "Are you okay?"

Snape seemed to shake his head but didn't seem to move, he replied in a low voice: "It's okay."

Flotte bit her lower lip, and after thinking about it, she knew that the question just now was a useless question, but she didn't know what else she could care about besides asking this question.Flutter straightened her body and returned her attention to the meeting.

"But Albus, the dementors sent by the Ministry of Magic are no less deterrent to students than Sirius Black." Professor Flitwick made a crucial point.

Dumbledore nodded, indicating that Flitwick was right and he understood it.Dumbledore opened his hands that were originally crossed, cleared his throat and said, "I will drive the dementors to the school gate, whether the Ministry of Magic agrees or not, this is a must, otherwise they don't want to let the dementors go. The ghosts are stationed here. From the beginning of the school year, no student is allowed to approach the school gate. If anyone wants to ask for leave to go home, after the heads of all levels report to the deans, you should also inform me, and I will approve it. I will continue to make an agreement with Fudge on the issue of dementors for three chapters, and we will never allow them to do anything that hurts the students."

"I'm afraid this is the only solution now." Professor Sprout said helplessly, then as if thinking of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, "Albus, have you ever thought about it, little one?" How will Sirius come to Hogwarts? Will he do it on the train?"

The eyes behind Dumbledore's half-moon glasses lit up, and it seemed that Professor Sprout's words reminded him: "The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has not had time to report, I will write to arrange for him to take the train with the students Come and protect the safety of the students."

"Who is this new professor of defense against magic? You haven't introduced him to us yet, principal." Flotte has always been curious about this position, no, generally speaking, she is more curious about the unlucky guy.

Snape's dark eyes also lit up now, and he stared at Dumbledore, as if he was also curious about who this newcomer was.

Dumbledore smiled, and said slyly: "When school starts that day, you will know. He is very familiar with everyone here."

Are you familiar?How familiar is this...?Very good, these words completely aroused Flote's curiosity.

However, when she really saw the person coming, she just wanted to say something with a sneer: I really know him very well.

……

For dinner parties, Flotte always has a bad habit of pinching the order, so every time she arrives in the hall, she always faces the trouble of finding a seat, but she is also okay, and she can chat with anyone next to her. to a block.Just this day...

Flotte stared disconcertingly at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure next to the empty seat...

The figure from the back seemed to have noticed Flott's arrival, he turned around and said in the polite way Flott remembered: "Long time no see, Professor Luster."

Flotte didn't let her surprise appear on the surface, but looked this old acquaintance up and down. The traces of the years were clearly imprinted on a few protruding silver strands on his hair. It was reflected on his face, but the eyes didn't seem to be changed by the changes of time, they were still so kind and strong.

Flott pulled a polite but distant smile on her face, and said, "Yeah, long time no see, Remus Lupine, but it looks like I should call you Professor Lupine too."

"We will be colleagues in the future, please give me advice."

Flotte still smiled politely, pulled out the chair, and said, "Don't dare, I haven't been here for a few years."

The moment Flotte sat down, she caught a glimpse of Snape who was sitting on the other side of Lupin out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, the expression on his face could not be described as peaceful. It seems that he must not have known it beforehand. Think about it. I'm afraid Snape and Dumbledore will have another heated discussion tonight.

Flotte thought that the two of them should have nothing to talk about, and even sitting here in a friendly manner now revealed a strange feeling.Because she felt that in Lupine's eyes, her image should still be that vicious woman who took advantage of him, and the one who broke her promise when she threatened to protect his friend's family but failed to do so.

Unexpectedly, the person who broke this quiet film was still Lupine: "How is your illness?"

Flotte didn't look at Lupin, but reached out to pick up the teapot in front of her and poured herself a cup of tea, but she was thinking about the meaning of his question.This disease should refer to the root of the disease caused by the Death Eater attack she claimed to be attacked, Flotte thought.

Although her mana is weak and almost negligible now, her mental state has been recuperated with Snape's help, so why should he care about such a problem that has not surfaced?In other words, how does he know that my illness is not cured?Dumbledore told him?Probably not, Flote didn't think these two would be interested in her little business.

Flotte picked up the poured teacup and pecked lightly, then said unhurriedly: "It's nothing serious, but I think you can also see that my magic power is basically gone."

Over the years, Flotte has not concealed the fact that her magic power has declined. Sometimes showing weakness is not necessarily a bad thing.Flotte put down the teacup, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Lupin and asked back, "What about your illness?"

Heh, wolf transformation is a kind of disease, but it is a so-called incurable disease.

Lupine was not annoyed by Flotte's knowingly asking. On the contrary, he still replied very gently: "It's still the same."

Flotte had long expected that Lupine would not cause any disturbance to her unreasonable provocation, but she just couldn't control her tempting heart of provoking trouble when she had nothing to do.

Life is not easy for werewolves, as Flott can tell from Lupine's slightly dilapidated appearance.Somehow, she suddenly remembered that when she was at the Potter's house ten years ago, she should have given Lily a business card for her to pass on to Lupine when she was leaving. , also represents her gratitude to Lupine for leading the way, and the debt she once took advantage of.

However, the result was not what Flott wanted, but it was also what she could have expected. Lupine did not appear at the pier in the end.

It was impossible that Lily hadn't been handed over to him, so it must have been because he didn't go at all, maybe it was Gryffindor's unwillingness to ask for self-esteem, or maybe it was because she would never trust her, the femme fatale who used him, anyway. How, he obviously could live a better life, but he didn't, Flote really admired his determination.But it doesn't matter, she has tried to thank him, but the other party doesn't appreciate it, so she has nothing to do.

In fact, Flotte was just about to open her mouth to test something more when she was interrupted by Snape who was sitting on the other side of Lupin.

"It seems that the headmaster didn't expect the so-called meeting of old acquaintances in vain." Snape looked at Flotte as if he was looking at a traitor, and then said with a smirk.

...Is this referring to the random chat between myself and Lupine just now?You don't know how well I know Lupine!This look looks like he has betrayed and surrendered to the enemy, tsk tsk tsk.Flotte slandered incessantly in her heart, of course Flotte was too lazy to say this on the surface.

"After all, we are all alumni of the first year, and now we are colleagues. We are always kinder when we meet, Snape." Lupine still replied politely.

Snape retorted with a sneer: "It seems that time can almost wear out people's memory. I don't think we can talk about intimacy at the same time." Snape paused again and continued, " Headmaster, do you also know that some students at Hogwarts have such stupid brains that they can never distinguish between adventure and death, and now you are sending them a new challenge? Oh, I can't wait to see See what can happen on a full moon night."

"I think what's going to happen, I'll talk to you later." Dumbledore, who was sitting on the other side of Snape, replied flatly.

Snape snorted coldly, but did not respond to Dumbledore's words.

Very well, bring a werewolf who may devour students alive at any time to the school and serve as a professor, and then ignore the immediate danger and only care about the elusive Soul Eater flying into the sky, Snape really doesn't know that Dumbledore is What do you think, is this semester not lively enough?Or think that it is inconvenient for Blake to enter the school and find him an internal response?Heh, this year's Hogwarts will definitely be extra interesting.

The author has something to say:

The transition chapter of Lupin's little angel coming out
