Chapter 397: Is The Magic Zoo Fun? Half Of It Is Mine...
Professor Lupine is indeed a capable wizard.
Compared to the fisherman Quirrell there is the liar Lockhart.
He is indeed better suited as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
This was also vividly experienced in the subsequent exchange between Blake and him about Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Cassandra and Hermione also felt very happy after discovering this.
Who doesn’t want to have a good and reliable professor?
You know, their Defense Against the Dark Arts classes were delayed for two years
And just when Blake and the others felt that this professor was capable.
Professor Lupin, who was sitting opposite, was even more shocked.
Because when he was discussing Defense Against the Dark Arts with Blake.
There was no sense of the other party's youthfulness as a young wizard who was about to enter the third grade.
When he communicated with Blake, if he hadn't seen each other's age.
He thought the person sitting opposite him was an experienced old man Aodu!
Where does a teenage boy get so much practical experience?
However, it was quite fun to talk to this young man.
Especially when you drink nutritional supplements and become more and more energetic.
Later, Cassandra and Hermione gradually lost their initial shyness and joined the "group chat".
At this time, Lupin discovered that these two little girls were also good students with excellent academic performance!
"Perhaps, this is a good start?" Lupine thought secretly...
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Just when a few people got excited about chatting.
The carriage door was knocked again.
Lupine raised his head and looked at the carriage door.
Immediately I saw a very familiar face...
"Um...Blake, do you still have a seat here? We arrived late today and there are no empty cars..."
Harry felt a little uneasy when he saw a strange middle-aged man in the carriage.
However, he still looked at Blake.
Because among the few people here, the one he is most familiar with is Blake.
As for Hermione and Cassandra...
They really don't know each other well.
"Of course 20 is fine.
Before Blake could speak, Lupine had already spoken.
Harry looked at Blake again.
Of course Blake wouldn't object.
He knew very well that Lupine must have recognized Harry's identity at the first sight.
Because according to the old bat.
Harry's appearance is 22
"James' ugly face combined with Lily's beautiful green eyes."
That is quite easy to recognize!
Of course, Bai Zui would not turn away the son of such an old friend.
"Come in, I have two more places here."
Lupine leaned against the window and gave up the two seats next to him.
"Oh...thank you, sir."
Harry and his good friend Ronald walked in with some restraint.
It's quite difficult to open a carriage with strangers in it.
In fact, if there weren't any empty carriages.
They won’t be too shameless to ask about the location.
Everyone was silent after seeing Harry sit down.
Blake took the initiative to break the silence.
"By the way, do you think that magical zoo is fun?"
Ronald's eyes suddenly lit up, "Of course it's fun! Merlin's beard! There are so many people."
"If Blake hadn't given our family a set of tickets, we might not have been able to get in until school started!"
"By the way, you don't know, after Ginny came home, she has been nagging about going there again!"
"Ever since she rode the fire dragon, she no longer has any interest in riding Fred's broom."
When it comes to having fun and family, Ronald talks a lot.
"As long as it's fun, I'll come back next time I have a holiday! There should be some activities during Christmas," Blake said.
"By the way, Blake, how come you have so many tickets? And... the tickets you gave us are VIP tickets that allow you to play all events for free!" Harry couldn't help but ask.
VIP tickets have very high authority.
Not only can you go directly to the VIP channel when entering the port gate without queuing.
There is also a dedicated boat transfer, so there is no need to squeeze into the same boat with other tourists.
Not only are the activities free, but you also have priority without queuing.
"Oh...because I own 50% of this zoo."
"So, it's very simple to get some VIP tickets."
Blake said calmly.
Most of the magical animals in this zoo belong to him.
The other half were tamed by him.
Otherwise he would still have to go to school.
Newt had to catch him and make him the director.
After Ronald heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth...
It's like when you and your classmates are discussing how much fun Disneyland is.
Your classmate suddenly told you that half of this paradise belongs to him...
If ordinary people said this, Ronald would certainly not believe him.
But if the person who said this is Blake...
"Then...it's no wonder...it's no wonder..."
Harry and Ronald nodded...
However, they can't even talk for a long time.
Things that are impossible for others, seem to become reasonable in an instant...
At this time, Blake was listening to the system report with satisfaction.
A few more treasure chests came in, I'm so happy
"Are you part of that magical zoo that was built recently?" Lupine asked in surprise.
"Yes." Blake nodded, "Dumbledore chose the address. We will spend most of this summer vacation up there.
"Cassandra and Hermione are here too, and they've helped a lot."
Seeing Hermione and Cassandra nodding, Lupine reluctantly believed this shocking statement.
But...if this was true, and Dumbledore personally helped him choose the address.
Does that mean... what he just said, that his last name is actually Dumbledore... is also true?
No...it can't be...Dumbledore is already so old...
Could it be that he is really getting stronger with age, which tender grass he gnawed on?
And don't tell me, Blake's eyes really look like Dumbledore's eyes!
Could it be that.………
Hiss... so scary...
Lupine felt that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted today.
He was determined not to ask about it out of curiosity when he got to school.
Otherwise, I might be fired one day for walking into the office with my right foot first...
However, Dumbledore doesn't seem to be that stingy.
How about I ask a few questions?
At noon, when the Yan dining car passed by,
Blake bought a lot of snacks and took them into the carriage.
Several people chatted about various things while eating.
Among them, Pingya asked Harry about Danjuku's life at his uncle's house.
However, after listening for a while, he frowned.
He really didn't expect that he would have such annoying relatives.
When I heard that Harry only escaped after blowing up that annoying Aunt Maggie into a balloon.
Lupine applauded him happily.
"At that time, I didn't even know where I should go."
"I just want to walk slowly to Knockturn Alley and stay there."
"By the way, I also saw a particularly big black dog at that time."
"I was so scared that I pulled out my wand."
"However, just because I pulled out the wand, the Knight Bus was summoned...
Lupine suddenly interrupted Harry's story.
"
"You just said you saw a particularly big black dog?"
"Yeah...it's strange to say that, that black dog looks very ferocious, and it keeps staring at me..."
"However, after being hit by one of my disarming spells, it ran away."
Harry was still recounting what happened to him that day.
Without realizing it, Lupine's face had turned gloomy.
The big black dog...still stared at Harry...
Lupine immediately understood who the big black dog was...
Sirius Blake was an unregistered illegal Animagus.
Only the original foursome knew this secret!
However, among the original foursome, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew were both dead. "
Therefore, maybe only he and Sirius himself know this secret...
At this time, Lupine's heart was filled with pain and confusion.
He didn't understand why Sirius would betray everyone.
He also killed the James family...
And now, after escaping from prison, he is still close to James and Lily's son Harry, and wants to hurt Harry...
What on earth do you want to do!? Are you so loyal to your master?!
"Professor, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Harry finally noticed Lupin's expression.
"Oh...it's nothing...I just want to say that it's great that you're okay.
Lupine had a look of joy on his face.
With what he knew about Sirius.
It was impossible for Harry to drive away Sirius with a disarming spell.
The most likely possibility is that Sirius is planning something.
Or maybe something alarmed him at that time.
So much so that he let Harry go for the time being.
Otherwise, with Sirius's strength, it would be too easy to hurt Harry...
Therefore, Lupine was filled with joy at this time.
Luckily Harry is fine...
At this time, Blake was eating pie.
Of course, he heard all the conversations between Lupine and Harry.
"Professor Lupin, I heard that you were good friends with Harry's father when you were studying at Hogwarts?"
"Uh...well..."
Lupine was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Blake even knew this.
Seeing Harry's surprised look, he had no choice but to admit it.
"Yes... Harry, that's what I just wanted to say...
"You look a lot like James... but you have your mother's eyes."
After Lupine admitted it, he said something that sounded familiar to Harry.
It seemed that everyone who knew his parents had said this to him.
"Professor, were you really good friends with my father before?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Strictly speaking, they are best friends." Lupine added.
"Then... why didn't you tell Harry just now about your relationship with his parents?" Blake asked doubtfully.
"I...I was just a little excited, and then I didn't think about it.
"After seeing Harry, my mind was filled with memories of being with James and the others.
"That's such a wonderful memory..."
"After that...I got a little worried, and then I forgot to mention it."
Lupine didn't seem to want to say anything more on this issue.
"Worried? Professor, what are you worried about?" Harry asked curiously.
"I...I'm worried about your safety, Harry
Lupine looked at Harry and said.
"My safety? Oh...you must be talking about Sirius, right?"
Harry's expression was a little complicated.
"Mr. Wesley has told me about him before..."
"He... was also a good friend of my father back then, right?"
Lupine sighed, "He...me, your dad, and Peter Pettigrew, we are best friends..."
"We have been through a lot together..."
"but"
"But you haven't seen how vicious Sirius Blake is, right?"
Harry's tone was a little angry.
However, everyone present knew that his anger was only directed at Sirius.
Lupine had no choice but to sigh again, his sadness and anger were no less than Harry's.
That was the betrayal of a close friend...
And then he killed three other close friends...
Lupine patted Harry on the shoulder.
"We'll get him. I'll never let you get hurt, Harry.
Lupine's tone was firm.
"I'm not afraid," Harry said.
"Let him come to me! If he comes to me...I...I will definitely kill him!"
"Don't be like this, Harry, you have to calm down." Lupine said: "He is a desperado! You must not go to him!"
He was a little worried that Harry would really run out to challenge Sirius regardless.
A Gryffindor at this age can really do such a thing...
Blake looked at Lupine, knowing that Lupine must have thought of it.
The big black dog Harry encountered was Sirius.
At the same time, Blake also had a doubt.
That was when Sirius was wrongly accused by Peter Pettigrew.
Why didn't Lupine stand up and tell Dumbledore that they were Animagus?
If Dumbledore knew they were Animagus.
Would it be possible to think that Peter Pettigrew was not blown to pieces, but might have turned into a mouse and ran away?
Blake was still a little curious.
Lupine now knows that Sirius turned into a big black dog and approached Harry.
Will he tell Dumbledore the crucial information that Sirius is an illegal Animagus?
After all, he knew very well that an Animagus was an Animagus who was familiar with all the secret passages in the school!
How easy it would be for him to sneak into Hogwarts!
At this time, Ronald was eating a "mint wand" with relish.
Blake glanced at him and suddenly thought about it.
It seems...Peter Pettigrew...is in Ronald's body now?
Blake looked at Ronald and found a slight bulge in one of his pockets.
In other words, Peter Pettigrew is in his pocket!
Blake suddenly had a bold idea...
That is, if Lupine saw Peter Pettigrew transformed into Scabbers the mouse, would he recognize him?
Is this his old friend from back then?
It should be possible...
Sirius recognized Peter Pettigrew with just a photo in a newspaper!
Thinking of this, the corners of Blake's mouth began to rise quietly...
