Having just finished a day's work, Lupin dragged his tired body back to his home, made some simple food in the kitchen, and then threw himself on the shabby armchair.
Lupin looked very tired. As he closed his eyes to rest, he recalled the letter he had received a while ago. Headmaster Dumbledore invited him to Hogwarts to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Although the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was unlucky, Lupin was still grateful for the headmaster's invitation, as it was undoubtedly a decent job for him.
However, Lupin did not reply to Dumbledore immediately, even though the other party had mentioned in the letter how to eliminate the potential hidden dangers posed by werewolves to students. But he still did not want to cause trouble for the headmaster, even though Lupin knew that Professor Dumbledore could not find a suitable professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Lupin is a dangerous werewolf. He is rejected and hated by wizards in the magical world and has difficulty finding a suitable job.
In fact, wizards are not willing to pay werewolves. It should even be said that wizards are unwilling to have anything to do with a dangerous werewolf, lest they suddenly suffer an unexpected disaster one day.
Lupin can only find a job in the Muggle world now, but it is still quite difficult. Even if he has learned Muggle Studies well, no company will be willing to hire an employee who needs to take a few days off every month.
So, Lupin could only find some odd jobs to make a living.
After finishing his dinner hastily and putting the washed dishes on the rack, Lupin sat down to read the Daily Prophet, which was his simple daily entertainment.
When Lupin was halfway through reading the headlines, he discovered that the headlines in the Daily Prophet had actually changed. This was a very rare occurrence. Unless there was important and urgent news, the Daily Prophet would not replace the headlines.
"What happened recently?"
Lupin muttered as he reread the headlines, but he was immediately startled by the picture in the headlines and immediately recognized the man in prison clothes.
"this… "
Lupin supported himself on the table with both hands and stood up suddenly, even knocking over the chair under him. But Lupin didn't care at all. He stared at the headlines of the Daily Prophet and read the news quickly.
Blake escapes prison!
Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban prison.
The Ministry of Magic is currently hunting for Black.
Lupin didn't sleep well that night. He didn't understand why Black escaped from Azkaban prison at this time.
What exactly did he want to do and how did he do it? You have to know that no one has escaped from that notorious prison so far.
Over the next few days, Lupin kept focusing on the incident and was absent-minded at work.
At some point, he heard a rumor that Black was looking for Harry and wanted to kill him.
Later, when Lupin read in the Prophet that Harry Potter had blown up his aunt, he felt something was wrong because the timing was so bad.
Lupin settled his temporary job and went to the Leaky Cauldron to get information, where he secretly met Harry.
Oh my god!
Harry was almost like James, with eyes very much like his mother's.
Lupin didn't dare look at Harry for too long. James and Lily's son was still alive, and that was enough!
I ordered the cheapest beer at the bar, chatted with the bar owner Tom about Blake for a few minutes, and then left in a hurry.
Everyone was talking about this matter. Wanted posters of Black were posted everywhere. People were terrified and uneasy about Black who had escaped from Azkaban prison.
If all the other dark wizards imprisoned in Azkaban prison escaped, most of the wizards in the British wizarding world would probably not be able to sleep at night.
Lupin was hesitant. He knew it would be difficult for Sirius to hurt Harry under Dumbledore's protection. But as Black's former friend, Lupin knew Black better than anyone else and knew Black was very familiar with Hogwarts Castle. If...
Maybe he should tell Dumbledore the secret that Sirius was an Animagus!
In the end, Lupin did not do so, not because he wanted to keep Black's secret, but because Lupin did not want Dumbledore, the only one who was willing to accept him and give him a chance, to know that he had betrayed his trust and wandered around the school with his friends on a full moon night.
It is very dangerous for a werewolf to run around in the dark. What if the werewolf bites someone accidentally
Lupin hid this secret because he knew he was too cowardly and didn't have the courage to do so.
Finally, Lupin wrote a letter to Dumbledore, asking if Hogwarts still needed a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Professor Dumbledore quickly replied and agreed to Lupin's application.
Due to the terrible experiences of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors in recent years, no wizard in the British wizarding world would ever think of taking up this respectable job at Hogwarts.
There’s nothing I can do, it’s so unlucky!
Look what happened to the exes.
Professor Ronald Smith is still missing, there is no clue and everyone thinks he is dead.
Professor Quirinus Quirrell died at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Even the famous Gilderoy Lockhart was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for treatment not long ago. It was said that he had been turned into a fool who could do nothing and could never be cured.
Who can guarantee that they will not become the next unlucky person
Even if there are wizards who are not afraid of the so-called curse, they will feel that this position is too unlucky.
After successfully applying for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Lupin prepared for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course while keeping an eye on Black's whereabouts.
Lupin knew exactly how bad the subject was, and even if Professor Dumbledore hadn't written to him briefly to outline the situation in the subject, it would have been easy for him to guess.
Back when I was studying at Hogwarts, the teacher of this course changed every year, resulting in everyone only learning bits and pieces, and not all Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were reliable.
Fortunately, Lupin is fully capable of doing this job.
He has good attainments in Defense Against the Dark Arts, has received some Auror training, and has participated in confrontations with the mysterious man. He has rich experience in fighting against dark wizards.
Only by devoting all his energy to work can Lupin get rid of the guilt in his heart.
If Sirius Black's target was really Harry, he would definitely invade Hogwarts, and then Lupin would catch him personally and let Black tell him in person.
Why be a traitor!
Lupin failed to stop it more than a decade ago, but now, he will stop Black from hurting the last member of the Potter family and avenge James, Lily and Peter with his own hands.
