The Hogwarts Emerald
Chapter 312 If You Like Weirdos
Chapter 312 If You Like Weirdos
Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, is suspected to be a werewolf. At the same time, he is also a good friend of James Potter and Lily Potter, and also a good friend of Black.
Ada's question was not only because she was confused about why James did not choose Lupin as the secret keeper, but also indirectly confirmed her previous guess and the suspicion she had just had.
On Halloween night, Sirius Black broke into the school unnoticed and then evaded the professors' thorough investigation. Could a person who had been away from school for many years still know the school so well?
Or does Blake have an insider in the school?
This insider coordinated Blake's actions and covered his evacuation during the subsequent manhunt. This greatly reduced the difficulty of Blake's actions and explained his elusiveness.
Before today, Ada had also labeled Professor Lupin as a "ghost". Apart from the freshmen, only Professor Lupin joined this year, and he himself was indeed suspicious.
Today, Dumbledore confirmed the relationship between Professor Lupin and Black, so the doubts about him would be magnified infinitely. Ada was not the first person in the school to have such doubts, and Snape was the same.
It's hard to say whether Snape really doubted Lupin or just wanted to take revenge. After all, the Potions Professor's mind is well known to those who understand.
In fact, Ida likes Professor Lupin very much. As a teacher, he is absolutely qualified and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is excellent. As a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he has given everyone the biggest surprise this semester.
Ada also didn't want to speculate about the professor with such malice. Because of this, Ada should make everything clear and distinguish right from wrong.
Either clear Professor Lupin's name, or send him to Azkaban personally and complete his penta kill of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"Remus, Remus is a good man, a modest gentleman, and as gentle as jade." Dumbledore said with a smile, "When his friends play recklessly or do something too much, he will always stop them in time to prevent them from making bigger mistakes. You and the two Mr. Weasleys are missing such a person."
There are many similarities between the Ada trio and the James quadruple group. They are all Gryffindors, naughty and mischievous, and unwilling to follow the rules. The difference is that Ada and the twins lack the brake pad-like positioning of Lupin.
The trio usually had Ada or George take turns acting as the brake pad to ensure Fred's pranks didn't go too far.
But George is obviously not as good as Professor Lupin in this respect. George's calmness is only relative to Fred. He himself is also a real naughty boy.
When the brakes on the George fail, Ada is needed to step in. In many cases, Ada can indeed remain objective and calm, steer the direction, and avoid major problems. But once Ada gets carried away, things get serious, and the twins cannot guarantee that they can control the hot-blooded Ada.
This is the irreplaceable role of Remus Lupin in the Marauders. And because he has been through a lot, Lupin is also the gentlest and most tolerant of the four.
The gentleness of Remus Lupin is not the cheap gentleness that those people say, "Gentleness? It cost my life."
Only after experiencing the cruelty of the world can one understand the value of gentleness. Didn’t an unpopular singer sing that people become gentle because they understand things thoroughly?
"He would make the best friend in the world," said Dumbledore sadly, "but he is not fit to be the Secret-Keeper of the Fidelius Charm."
After returning from Nurmengard, Dumbledore was very relaxed in front of Ada. He did not hide his expression, nor did he act mysterious or aloof. Although Dumbledore was mysterious.
This is a reflection of Dumbledore's respect and trust for Ada, as well as his ability to control people's hearts.
Dumbledore knew how sensitive and fragile Ada was. If he didn't take the first step, the rift between him and Ada would never be bridged.
In order to bring them closer, an old man over a hundred years old and a minor of fifteen or sixteen years old, it doesn’t matter if the centenarian passes away first.
Torturing someone is fun, but chasing someone to the crematorium is not particularly appropriate, but that's about it. At this time, Ada had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Her desire for the truth made her ignore the sadness of the centenarian and the helplessness in this sadness.
She pressed, "Is it because of Professor Lupin's furry little problem?"
"When did you know that?" Dumbledore was not surprised. He knew that Ada would find out sooner or later.
The truth will always come out, and it is only a matter of time before Lupin's secret is discovered. Dumbledore's answer and question confirmed Ada's guess. He did not think that Ada would discriminate against Lupin because he was a "werewolf".
"I just suspect, I'm not sure."
Ada never hesitated to betray people, especially Snape. The unscrupulous girl continued, "You should know that unscrupulous potion professors always exploit underage girls. This year, the girl's task is to prepare the wolfsbane potion."
This answer almost made Dumbledore fall off the sofa. He was still thinking about where the mistake was and how to plug it so that more people would not find out. It turned out that there was a problem with the source of goods. There was actually a "traitor" in my team!
Well, isn’t this just the big lazy one ordering the little lazy one around, and the little lazy one just standing there staring blankly?
"Besides, Professor Lupin's sick leave is too regular, always around the full moon." Ada continued, and complained, "More regular than many girls..."
When the full moon came, Lupin would fall ill and turn into a werewolf. Dumbledore couldn't do anything about it, because Lupin had this disease! The only thing Dumbledore could do was to give him wolfsbane potion to make his full moon less unbearable.
"Many times, I want to take apart your little head and take a look at your brain structure." Dumbledore looked at Ada with eyes full of exploration and curiosity.
The pattern of Lupin's sick leave cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested, but the prerequisite is that the person has to be interested in Lupin's illness or in him personally.
Moreover, it had only been two months since the start of the school year, and with such a small sample size, Ada had already started to have doubts, which made Dumbledore very curious. He wanted to know what was going on in Ada's mind every day, and whether Ada's mind was actually normal.
"My brain structure is normal. If it weren't normal, I wouldn't be in Hogwarts now, right?"
Ada shrank back and waved her hands. She didn't expect that Dumbledore was actually a mad scientist at heart. He wanted to slice her, but that was not okay.
Everyone has something they are afraid of, and no one is immune to it. Ada is most afraid of hospitals, doctors, and crazy scientists.
Seeing Ada's reaction, Dumbledore remembered her previous resistance to St. Mungo's. When he heard it from Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore was still a little skeptical.
Ada had confirmed Lupin's identity as a werewolf, but there was no disgust or discrimination on her face. She didn't even think about why Professor Lupin was a werewolf, because she had a more important question that needed Dumbledore to answer.
But before Ida could get to the bottom of it, Dumbledore took the initiative to say, "Do you want to hear a story?"
Are you kidding me, boss? Are you coming again?
This was Ada's first thought. The last time someone asked her a similar question, she was so confused that she didn't know what to do. This time Dumbledore dug the hole himself. How deep must this hole be!
