Professor Lupine was dusty all over his body, dust was everywhere on his shabby robe, he looked thinner than the previous few days, there were deep shadows under his eyes, but his face was full of smiles.
Seeing Lupine, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione got up from the hospital bed at once, and shouted with joy, "Professor!"
"Good afternoon, Harry; good afternoon, Ivan; good afternoon, Hermione!" Lupine said with a smile.
"Professor, I heard Hagrid said yesterday that they imprisoned you in Azkaban, did those monsters do anything to you?" Harry asked eagerly.
"I'm fine, Harry!" Lupine glanced over Harry, Ivan, and Hermione one by one, "Actually, I would like to thank you three, thanks to your hard work, I was able to move so quickly." Come out."
"You were innocent in the first place. Ron was only controlled by Peter Pettigrew, so he would accuse you."
"Peter Pettigrew!" repeated Lupine, with a flash of regret on his face. He closed his eyes slowly, then opened them again, and said gloomily, "I met Sirius at the Ministry of Magic. He and Dumbledore Lido told me everything, I shouldn't have doubted him back then, I actually thought he betrayed James and Lily"
When Harry's parents were mentioned, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
"Professor, I successfully summoned my Patronus last night, which is a stag!" Harry said in a low voice after a long time.
"When your father transforms, he always turns into a stag." Lupine smiled again. "You guessed right, Harry, that's why we call him Prongs."
"But there was a Patronus, and it was a doe."
"Doe?!" Lupine froze for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted.
"That doe, I mean, could he be my mother?"
"Lily's Patronus is indeed a doe." Lupine looked at Harry worriedly. "I told you once that the shape of a Patronus varies from person to person, and it has something to do with the personality and inner world of the wizard. You know, The patron saint is not always the same, it will change when it suffers a big blow and a big emotional change."
"you mean?"
"Harry, that Patronus you saw couldn't have been Lily," Lupine continued. "I don't know who summoned it, but that person must have been related to Lily. Otherwise, his Patronus couldn't have been Lily." Doe!"
In fact, hearing Harry's description of the doe Patronus, Lupine thought of Snape, and maybe that was his Patronus. Lupine more or less knew something about Lily and Snape. Before they came to Hogwarts to study, they came from the same place. Lily and Snape were very good, but later
Lupine hesitated, but finally said nothing.
In his opinion, there were some things that weren't right for Harry to know.
Besides, he didn't have that qualification. What happened to James and Lily back then should let Sirius Black say that he is Harry's godfather.
Harry, who was bowing his head in thought, didn't notice Lupine's strange reaction. He looked confused and tried hard to think, who could be the person related to his mother
Snape was the only one here, could it be him
Harry knew that he had a bad relationship with his father when he was a student, just like himself and Malfoy, they didn't like each other.
Judging from the information learned later, Snape hated his father.
As for the relationship between Snape and his mother, Harry didn't know, in his opinion, the two of them should have no intersection at all.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
But even if Snape summoned the Patronus, Ivan didn't expect him to be fair and kind to him. In the first year, Snape had saved himself, but his attitude towards himself became worse after that. Dumbledore once said that it was because he felt that this would make him even with his father, and no one owed anyone, and then he could relive his hatred of his father with peace of mind.
Harry didn't delve into it at the time, but thinking about it now, he felt something was wrong. The relationship between Snape and his parents seemed very complicated.
He tried to think about it, but it made his head ache so badly that he couldn't think about it.
Harry looked up and heard Hermione say worriedly, "Professor, is Sirius okay? When will he be back?"
"He is currently in good condition, but he will have to wait for a while to see you." Lupine said, "The Wizengamot has initiated a special trial procedure and should make a final judgment before Christmas. Now that Peter has been captured , and Dumbledore is here, you don't have to worry about him at all."
"What about you, Professor?!" Harry asked, "I just heard from Dumbledore that you have resigned. You didn't do that, did you?"
"I'm afraid I did, Harry!"
"Why, you obviously didn't attack Ron?"
"It has nothing to do with whether I attacked Ron or not. You should have seen it in the past two days. Parents of students don't want to have werewolves teaching their children. I think they are right. I may bite any of you This must never happen again.”
"Don't go, professor! You are the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who has ever taught us!" Harry shouted loudly, and Ivan and Hermione also hurriedly agreed.
Lupine shook his head and said nothing.
Just as Harry was thinking of a reason to let him stay, Lupine continued, "Harry, Ivan, Hermione, the days of teaching at Hogwarts were happy times that I will never forget in my life. If If there's anything I'm proud of, it's you, you three are some of the best students I've ever taught."
"professor!"
"Okay, it's getting late, I should go back and pack my luggage." Professor Lupine wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Wait a minute, Professor!" Ivan hurriedly stopped Lupine, "What are your plans after you leave Hogwarts?"
"Probably continue to look for the next job." Lupine had a wry smile on his face, "Don't worry about me."
Lupine was full of bitterness in his heart. As a werewolf, no one would be willing to hire him except Dumbledore.
He didn't know where he should go. After Sirius cleared his grievances, maybe he could move in and live with him for a while, and then figure out a way.
Lupine didn't say it. There is no need to tell Ivan, Harry, and Hermione about these things.
"Professor, you know that I have published a "Hogwarts Wizarding Newspaper". I plan to expand the sales scope of this newspaper to all wizards in the wizarding world, and change it to one issue a day." Ivan looked expectantly. Lupine, "But I don't have enough time. If you can, I would like you to help me manage it."
Ai Wen spoke out his thoughts in detail, and Lupine seemed to be stunned. He was silent for a long time before asking in disbelief, "Are you going to hire me?"
"That's right!" Evan nodded.
"Managing a newspaper?" Lupine continued.
"Yes." Ivan nodded again, smiling.
Seeing Lupine's reaction, Harry and Hermione on the side also laughed. If Ivan hired Lupine, they would still be able to see him often in the future.
"Yes, Professor!" said Harry and Hermione in unison.
"But, I don't have any relevant experience before?" Lupine hesitated.
"I believe in you, Professor, that you will do the job."(.)
