"I'm sure he's safe, there's no way he hit anyone!"
Aiwen's voice was not loud, but it was very obvious in the tense office.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Aiwen in surprise. He instantly became the focus of attention of teachers and students in the school. Under everyone's gaze, Aiwen separated from the crowd and walked out. All the little wizards tried to lean back as far as possible, trying to make way for him.
"Ivan!" Harry exclaimed in surprise.
Ivan nodded, walked to Harry and stood beside Harry. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Hearing what he said just now, most of the little wizards looked surprised and puzzled. They didn't know why Ivan said that; while Snape, Lucius and the students of Slytherin College had sullen faces, their faces Full of malice and disgust.
"I think everyone already knows..." Ivan took a deep breath and said slowly, "The werewolf in front of you is Professor Lupine!"
His words were like throwing a boulder onto a calm lake, causing waves of water to splash.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and bursts of suppressed and uneasy discussions sounded.
Ever since entering this office, ever since hearing the conversation between Dumbledore, Fudge, Snape, and Lucius, everyone has had an ominous premonition in their hearts, but guessing is another matter, and now I heard Ivan himself Confirmation is another matter.
Deep down in the heart of all the little wizards, they couldn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe that Professor Lupine, who was usually kind and friendly, could actually be an evil and brutal werewolf.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the voice of speaking gradually stopped.
Almost everyone looked at Ivan holding their breath, waiting for him to continue.
"I think everyone knows that Hermione and I just met a werewolf in Hogsmeade, and he attacked us." Aiwen's voice was steady, and gradually raised the volume, "Maybe you think Professor Lupine is going to attack everyone too, but I want to tell you that Professor Lupine is not the same as that werewolf. He is not dangerous. It is impossible for him to attack others tonight. He started taking wolfbane potion a week ago, which can help him transform When you become a werewolf, keep enough sobriety and reason."
The little wizards had just heard the conversation between Dumbledore and Snape, and knew that Professor Lupine had taken the wolfsbane potion. Most of them didn't know the effect of this potion, and now they suddenly realized after hearing Aiwen's explanation.
"The potion of wolfsbane can guarantee his safety. Although he looks like a terrifying werewolf now, he is indeed the familiar Professor Lupine in his heart. He can't..."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Know-it-all! As the brewer of Wolfsbane Potion, I have a few words to say." Snape squinted his eyes at Ivan, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said grimly, "I I have to remind you that the wolfbane potion can only make the werewolf rational, but it cannot guarantee that they will not bite! In fact, after taking the wolfbane potion, the werewolf in front of you may be more dangerous. Because of the reason, he They are more cunning and difficult to deal with than ordinary werewolves."
"Thank you for your reminder, Professor Snape!" Ivan turned around and continued, "You are right, there may be many people who think the same as you, Professor Lupine is a werewolf, he cannot be trusted! No Wrong, he is a werewolf, but this is not the reason we are afraid of him and discriminate against him! Everyone think about Professor Lupin’s personality and how he treats everyone. Do you still think that he will hurt others? ?!"
Hearing Aiwen's words, many little wizards bowed their heads in thought.
They suddenly thought about how Professor Lupine usually treats students. He is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher you have ever met. His classes are always so interesting. He patiently answers everyone's questions. In the face of dark creatures, he also taught many principles of life that are not found in textbooks.
Facing Professor Lupine like this, almost everyone did not believe that he would hurt them.
The twittering and chatter continued, and many people thought of Professor Lu Ping's usual behavior, but when they saw the terrifying werewolf in front of him, they retreated in their hearts.
Ivan saw that Lucius seemed to want to say something, and he knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot and take practical actions to prove that Professor Lupine was different from the real werewolf.
he's not dangerous, he can't attack everyone
The next second, under the gaze of all the surprised eyes, Ivan suddenly turned around to face Professor Lupine, and he was about to touch him.
Ai Wen stretched out his right hand to Lupin, and several girls exclaimed in the crowd.
All the little wizards looked at him nervously, holding their breath, as if Ivan would be bitten to death by the terrifying werewolf in front of him in the next second.
Lupine trembled slightly, letting Ivan touch himself.
Completely different from the soft skin of normal people, the werewolf's skin is extremely hard, and the long hair on it is a bit prickly, making people feel very uncomfortable.
The strange touch of his fingertips and the terrifying wolf head close at hand made Aiwen a little nervous subconsciously, and the hot breath came oncoming. His right hand just touched Professor Lupin. fragile.
He could feel that the other party was even more nervous than himself.
In the next second, Ivan didn't even think about it, he opened his arms and hugged Professor Lupine tightly.
Being embraced by Aiwen, Lupine's body trembled violently.
Tears flowed from his eyes. He never thought that Ivan would do this. For twelve years, he felt trust again.
For a werewolf wandering on the fringes of society, trust is probably the most precious thing in the world.
He suddenly saw the shadow of Sirius Black from Ivan. When his identity as a werewolf was discovered by his friends for the first time in Hogwarts, he was also very nervous. He told others that he was terrified of being kicked out of school.
Like Ivan, Sirius Black suddenly hugged himself at that time.
Facing Aiwen's hug, Lupine didn't know what to do at all. He acted like a child and did nothing wrong. He saw Dumbledore standing not far away smiling and nodding towards him, just like the picture when he accepted his admission against all odds back then.
Tears streamed down Lupin's cheeks, he hesitated for a moment, trying to put his arms around the thin boy in front of him. Twelve years after James and Pettigrew died, and Sirius Black was captured in Azkaban, he felt warmer than ever again.
Lupine knew that this was the temperature of trust.
