Chapter 299 Harry: I Have Been Betrayed Three Times!

Chapter 299 Harry: I Have Been Betrayed Three Times!

As the exam approaches, various subjects have also entered the review stage.

The little wizards' homework has increased visibly. Not only that, they also have to review the knowledge they learned in the first half of the year but have long forgotten.

Compared to others, Wayne is busier.

Because of the agreement with Professor McGonagall, although he did not attend several other classes, he still had to take the final exam and get good grades.

For Wayne, anything less than full marks is unacceptable.

He wants to be the first man to graduate from Hogwarts with perfect marks in all subjects.

Fortunately, with Hermione's notes, Wayne would not make any detours when reviewing, saving a lot of time.

The most troublesome one was the Muggle Studies class, and Hermione didn't attend it either. Wayne could only read other students' notes and try to understand Muggles according to wizards' thinking.

In the Defense Against Dark Arts class, everyone was taken to a specially prepared classroom.

This room has been transformed by magic and is like a maze. It contains many kinds of dark creatures that have been studied in class. What the students have to do is to treat these creatures as levels one by one and successfully reach the last level.

Such an interesting practical class was naturally the most popular one. The students' enthusiasm was particularly high. Only Wayne sat bored at the finish line, chatting with a red hat.

He was banned from participating by Lupine and had to ensure the safety of the students in the maze.

As compensation, Lupine will give him full marks for his final Defense Against the Dark Arts grade.

The red hat is a difficult dark creature that usually appears in groups and lives in caves in ancient battlefields or anywhere that has been stained with human blood.

For example, at the border between Scotland and England, wars often occurred there in ancient times.

There is none in the Forbidden Forest, Lupin got it through his own channels.

Wayne also chatted with Lupine. Before coming to Hogwarts, Lupine was more like a bounty hunter. He took on jobs dealing with dark creatures and met many talents in related fields.

It was just because of his identity as a werewolf that he only knew some relatively low-level wizards and had little money to make, so he lived in such poverty.

When he thought about Lupine leaving after the semester, Wayne was still a little reluctant to leave.

His medicine has not been successfully tested yet...

Lycanthropy is indeed a 'terminal disease'. Wayne changed the formula several times in succession, but it only allowed Lupine to reduce the physical signs of a werewolf when transforming, and there were quite a few side effects.

There is still a long way to go before complete cure.

If Lupine leaves at the end of this semester, it will be a lot more troublesome for the two of them to communicate about their condition.

.......

"Harry, have you noticed that Professor Lupin is always looking at me today."

Outside the classroom, Harry and Ronald, who were waiting in line, were also muttering quietly.

"Really? Could it be your imagination?" Harry said nonchalantly. Professor Lupin was looking at him because he was studying the Patronus [His relationship with Professor Lupin was much closer than Ronald's.

"Take a closer look." Ronald lowered his head and said. Harry paid more attention and found that it was indeed the case.

Lupine, who was standing at the door, sent Neville into the first level and then looked back. There was some complicated meaning on his pale face that Harry couldn't understand.

Harry thought for a while, maybe he was worried about your final grade?"

Ronald's expression changed, it was really possible.

Finally, the students in front entered the maze one by one. Harry and Ronald came to Lupine and were about to enter, but were stopped by him.

"Ronald, I heard that you had some conflicts with Hermione over pets?"

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Lupin had been staring at him because of this incident. Immediately, his expression became a little angry.

"Hermione's fat cat is too much. It's not interested in so much pet food and other people's mice. It just stares at my Scabbers every day!"

"This is just the nature of animals. Cats and mice have become instinctive." Lupin comforted: "Don't let these little things affect the friendship between you."

"I heard...Wayne also likes Hermione's cat."

"Yeah." Ronald became even more dejected. He didn't dare to mess with Hermione, let alone Wayne.

The last time I became a woman's slave is still vivid in my mind...

"I carry Banban with me every day now, just because I am afraid that one day he will be eaten by that nasty cat.

Ronald's expression was filled with grief and anger: "It's already over ten years old, can't we just let him enjoy his old age?"

Lupine looked confused, "Then you must protect your mouse and don't let him leave your side."

"Thank you Professor, I will."

After class, Lupine kept Harry again, and Ronald naturally followed him.

"Harry, how are you doing with your Patronus Charm?" Lupine asked.

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment: "The summoned mist is already very thick, but it still hasn't taken shape yet."

After Malfoy mastered the Patronus Charm, Wayne started new teaching content. He learned from Lupin later, but it only lasted three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. The dementors gradually disappeared from the sight of the students. Harry wasn't that concerned.

Not only Harry, but also Lupin's monthly Patronus open class has been stopped since last month.

"What about you Ronald?"

"Me?" Ronald was stunned. He didn't expect Lupin to ask him: "I'm a little worse than Harry, and my anger will dissipate after a while."

Lupine thought for a moment and then said: "You should be lacking some external pressure. It would be great if you could find some dementors for actual combat.

Harry wondered: "But haven't your dementors been returned?"

"Let's do this." Lupine lowered his voice: "If you are willing, I can take you to find a dementor this weekend night, right in the Shrieking Shack. "You should know where it is."

Harry was a little moved, and Ronald was even more excited: "Are you going to take us on a night trip, or to Hogsmeade?"

"No, this is just a...tutoring, I will talk to Professor McGonagall.

Lupine said cautiously, "Just this once, if you still fail to summon the patron saint, I will not help you again.

Ronald nodded eagerly and eagerly agreed, while Harry was a little hesitant.

But after thinking about it for a while, I agreed.

After Lupine left, Ronald asked strangely: "Harry, I just saw that you seemed reluctant. Are you afraid of dementors?"

"Of course not." Harry retorted immediately, even if it was true, he couldn't admit it.

"I, I just think this plot is a bit familiar... Quirrell also lied to me like this last year."

Ronald looked at him in astonishment, not expecting Harry to be so connected, but he quickly returned to normal and comforted him: "How can this be the same? Didn't you tell me that Professor Tenping is your father's friend? "

"And he also said that we need Professor McGonagall's permission before we can go out. The most important thing is... Snape hates him, really, really hates him.

Ronald's words were clear and logical, and Harry nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, Lupine's performance this year has proven that he is an excellent teacher. How can he be compared with Lockhart?

Besides, he has been tricked by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for two years in a row, so there is no way there will be a third year.

Sure enough, later in the evening, Lupine came over with a note approved by Professor McGonagall, making the two of them feel more at ease.

On Sunday, Harry and Ronald finished their meal and came to Lupine's office.

"Professor, shall we leave now?"

"No hurry, I have to go find Mr. Filch first to get the key to the castle gate."

Lupine put on his shabby coat and took Harry and Ronald out to the second floor.

Both Harry and Ronald disliked the keykeeper and did not follow him into Serge's office.

However, the door was not closed tightly, and the two of them vaguely heard that Lupine seemed to be looking for something.

On the way out of the school, Harry still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Hearing his question, Lupine smiled casually: "It's just an ordinary map, something I used when I was a student, and it has a lot of commemorative significance.

Harry nodded suddenly and asked again: "Can you tell me another story about my father back then?"

"Of course, but this is a reward." Lupine smiled and promised: "If we succeed later, I will tell everything I know.

"By the way." He asked casually, "Ronald, how is your pet? Is it okay?"

"Still no energy." Ronald lowered his head and looked at his bulging pocket: "I ate something at night and then slept.

Lupine nodded and said no more.

After walking for about an hour, and after it became completely dark, they arrived at the small town of Hogsmeade.

The town was particularly quiet at night. Except for the Three Broomsticks, which still made some noise, all other shops were closed.

The three of them walked to the end of the street, passed through the woods, and came to a dilapidated house.

"Is there really a dementor here?" Ronald was a little scared when he saw it: "I have only heard that this place is haunted. Many senior students said that there will be howling sounds here in the middle of the night, so it is called the Howling Shack. Room."

"There are no ghosts in the Shrieking Shack. I'm extremely convinced of this. Maybe...the dementor has left?" Lupine took out his wand and walked into the shack first.

Seeing that there was nothing inside, he frowned slightly.

Harry said with some disappointment, "It seems we don't have to make a trip now."

"Yes." Lupine also sighed, "As compensation, let me tell you about your father."

Now Harry was no longer disappointed, "Thank you, Professor."

"You don't have to be so polite, Harry." Lupine waved his wand, and three small benches in the corner flew over. He motioned for Harry and Ronald to sit down.

"So, what do you want to hear?"

Harry thought for a while and said, "I want to know how my parents got together."

"Lily?" Lupine smiled unconsciously.

"This is a very long story, and one night may not be enough."

Harry shook his head to show that he didn't care, "Just say whatever you can."

"Then let's start with our small group." Lupine thought for a while and glanced at Ronald's pocket unconsciously.

"I know that." Harry interrupted: "Blake, Peter Pettigrew, and my father, they were together at that time.

"And me." Lupine said softly.

"What?" Harry looked at him in shock.

"Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail."

"These four codenames represent James, Black, me, and Peter Pettigrew respectively.

"At that time, there were four of us and one person

Likewise, my reputation in school is not very good.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Harry asked in confusion: "You only said that you and my father are good friends, but they are not as close as you said."

"Because of guilt and cowardice." Lupine looked at the sky. Fortunately, it was not a full moon today, so he had no urge to transform.

"Guilty?" Harry was even more confused: "Why guilty."

"Because I know some of Sirius' secrets that I haven't told Dumbledore."

"What secret?" Ronald and Harry looked at each other, becoming more and more confused as they listened.

"Sirius is an Animagus, and not only is he, but so is your father, and so is Peter Dwarf.

"What the hell?" Ronald's brain was a little short-circuited, and he felt like he had heard this word before.

Harry had a better memory than him and remembered it all at once.

"It's Professor McGonagall's ability to turn into a cat."

"Oh!" Ronald suddenly realized. "Then what are the creatures they transform into?"

"Prongs is the stag, Padfoot is the big black dog, and Wormtail is the mouse."

"What about you? Why are you called Moony?" Ronald asked again, but Harry's face looked uncertain.

Big black dog...

He has seen big black dogs many times this year.

Privet Drive, Diagon Alley, Quidditch, Hogsmeade...

Impossible, it shouldn't be Blake.

If it were him, he would have been caught long ago and even died.

Lupine looked at Ronald's curious eyes and said softly: "I am a werewolf, and the bright face represents my identity.

"What?!" Ronald fell off the bench in shock.

"Don't be afraid, even if I am a werewolf, it is not the full moon yet, so I will not transform."

Although what Lupine said made sense, Ronald was still scared and backed away.

Banban in his pocket was also awakened and stuck his head out uneasily.

Harry also woke up from his meditation, but he did not retreat, but asked: "Professor, why are you telling us this.

"Even if I don't say it now, I will tell everyone at the last moment of the semester. I am saying it now just to express my sincerity.

"Because, I want to ask you to do me a favor." 2.8

Lupine kept an eye on Ronald's pocket.

"Can you leave Banban to me? He looks like an old friend of mine."

Banban suddenly struggled excitedly, and Ronald hugged him quickly, looking at Lupin warily.

"What are you talking about? How can Scabbers be the Peter Pettigrew you say?"

"Peter is already dead, killed by Black. Scabbers is my pet!"

"We eat together, bathe together, and sleep together. How could he be an Animagus? Look, you scared him!"

"Harry, let's go." After saying that, Ronald pulled Harry out.

But at this moment, a huge black figure rushed in from outside the door and photographed Ronald.

"Ahhh! What the hell!"

Ronald screamed, and Harry immediately recognized the dark figure as the big black dog he had seen many times.

The black dog ignored Ronald's struggle and stopped Banban who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Under the shocked gazes of several people, its figure slowly changed, turning into a thin man with sunken eye sockets.

"Sirius Black!"

Harry's eyes instantly turned red, and a rush of blood rushed to his mind. He pulled out his wand without hesitation and shouted: Expelliarmus!"

The red light shot towards Blake, who was still grinning in human form, and knocked him away hard.

Lupine didn't expect Harry to be so decisive, but he didn't pay attention to Sirius, but quickly turned the small bench into a cage, bumped Scabbers into it, and then

Shout loudly:

"The cage is coming!"

No matter how hard Banban struggled, the cage still fell into Lupine's hands.

Watching Lupine anxiously help Sirius Black who had hit the wall, Harry only had one thought in his mind.

I have been betrayed three times.

And they're all fucking Defense Against the Dark Arts professors!.
