The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 313 I am actually beautiful

Whether it is heavy rain or light rain, this kind of weather is very suitable for listening to stories or reading books. If you can pair it with a cup of fragrant drink, it will be even better.

It was raining heavily now and the hot cocoa was emitting a fragrant aroma, but Ida really didn't want to listen to the old man with a white beard telling her stories. It was definitely not good. This was not Ida's bad mouth, but a lesson from the past. The last old man who told her stories was named Grover Cecil.

I don't have anything to say, my eyes are filled with tears. It's okay to be fooled, but I was also tricked into fighting a stranger for my life. Whenever I recall the past, I feel sad.

Other people always say "the immortal touches my head, ties my hair and grants me immortality", but why does the routine change when it comes to Ada?

Dumbledore, an old man with a white beard and a sage-like appearance, the only thing missing from his appearance is a sword on his back. If he is not an immortal, then a banished immortal would probably be at this level, but why is the gap between people so big?
Dig a hole and bury someone without leaving any traces, and you have to say thank you to Dumbledore after you are done. Ada has neither a big head nor a thick neck, so she doesn't want to say "thank you".

But before Ada could cover her ears and say "I don't want to listen, you're just a turtle chanting", Dumbledore had already continued with the previous sentence.

This leaves no way out at all. What Snape said is absolutely right. Sooner or later, I will die from this curiosity.

"Remus was born into a happy family. His father, Lyall, was an honest and kind wizard and an official of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said, "Remus had a carefree childhood, but this happiness did not last."

Professor Lupin's life started much easier than Ada's. His father was an official in the Ministry of Magic. Although he was not rich, he at least had enough food and clothing.

But this happy life came to an abrupt end in Lupin's childhood, and his future life was full of bitterness and misfortune. The sweeter the beginning, the more bitter the end.

That year, a werewolf was brought to the Ministry of Magic for questioning on suspicion of the death of two Muggle children. Lyall Lupin was in charge of questioning the werewolf, and Ada happened to know the name of the werewolf - Fenrir Greyback.

At that time, Fenrir Greyback was still unknown, and he did not have the reputation that he has today to stop children from crying at night. The Ministry of Magic did not even know that Greyback was a werewolf at that time, and the confused interrogators were fooled by Greyback.

These people were ignorant, but Lyall was not so stupid. He was upright and insisted on continuing to interrogate Greyback. Lyall did not expect that his integrity and responsibility would anger Greyback and bring disaster to his family.

If Greyback had been arrested and imprisoned, this tragedy might not have happened, but the Ministry of Magic, which was idle and idle, released Greyback, thinking that he was just an innocent Muggle tramp.

Greyback, who escaped, began his revenge. He attacked the Lupin family and turned the five-year-old Remus Lupin into a werewolf.

Remus John Lupin's unfortunate life began from then on.

Even if Mr. Lupin tried his best, he still couldn't cure his son. Neither spells nor medicines could change the fact that little Remus had turned into a werewolf, and lycanthropy would accompany the child for the rest of his life.

Remus Lupin will spend his whole life in discrimination and exclusion. Even with his loyal parents, his life is still dark. This world is never fair. The five-year-old Remus didn't have time to take a good look at the world before the originally beautiful world became hideous and horrible.

Was that Mr. Lyle Lupin's fault?

He shouldn't have been so smart during the interrogation and discovered the suspicious points about Greyback; he shouldn't have been so serious and responsible and unwilling to let the evil werewolf go when others were just getting by; he also shouldn't have angered the werewolf with his extreme remarks.

Mr. Lyall Lupin should have been as ignorant and careless as his colleagues. If he had just let Greyback go instead of holding on to him, wouldn't there have been any subsequent attacks?

But was it really Mr. Lyle Lupin who was wrong?

Since when did it become wrong to be responsible, and since when did evil people get away with it? If this is true, then the world will probably not be a good place.

It was too late to say anything. Remus had already become a werewolf. Mr. Lyall Lupin could only do his best to prevent his son from becoming like Greyback and becoming the next sinner.

As a werewolf, Remus got the first warmth in his life besides his parents when he was eleven years old. He received the admission notice of Hogwarts. It was Dumbledore who approved his admission, and the headmaster also made many preparations for this unfortunate child. For example, a safe house that could allow him to survive the transformation period - the Shrieking Shack.

While at school, little Remus gained friendships that he had never gained before, he had real friends, friends who would not fear him or distance themselves from him just because he was a werewolf.

The appearance of James and Sirius made Remus Lupin's dark life brighter. Later, Lupin met another kind girl, who was called Lily Evans at that time.

After graduation, Remus Lupin did not throw himself into the arms of darkness like other werewolves. Instead, he joined the Order of the Phoenix with his good friends to fight against darkness together, even at the cost of his life.

"That day, Remus was in the north, carrying out a mission for the Order of the Phoenix, and the tragedy happened." Dumbledore said, with endless sadness in his words.

Dumbledore suddenly became very irritable, like a lion about to get angry. He said excitedly: "I don't know how Remus felt at that time. I don't even dare to think about how he felt."

Overnight, Lupin lost everything, and he lost all his friends in life. The death of three close friends, the betrayal of one close friend, how much courage does it take to bear this?

Dumbledore didn't know, and Ada didn't know either. Only Remus Lupin knew, and only he could understand how unforgettable it was.

Ada no longer had any doubts in her heart, she just felt a sharp pain in her chest. Even the bystanders were so heartbroken, what about Professor Lupin?

In a world full of contempt and a life full of misery, no one will care whether Lupin's life is going well, and no one will accompany Lupin through the difficult nights under the full moon.

Years have passed, and Harry is already thirteen years old. How will Professor Lupin feel when he returns to Hogwarts, the place where his dream began, and sees the son of an old friend?
Ada couldn't believe that someone like that would choose to help Black hurt Harry, even though the two of them had been so close.

"I found Remus in a ramshackle, half-abandoned cottage in Yorkshire," said Dumbledore, this time with a note of self-reproach in his tone.

After the war, Lupin did not return home and disturb his parents' lives because he was an extremely dangerous werewolf.

Although Lupin is an excellent wizard, he is still poor and has no food to eat. What Lupin is most worried about is that after the transformation, he will lose his mind and cause killing.

Before every full moon, Lupin would quit his hard-earned job, stay away from the crowd, and howl to the moon alone.

The story ends here. Thirty years of life is not a long time. Dumbledore stopped talking, and Ada was also silent. The fire in the fireplace was still burning, and the heavy rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping.

Just say you don’t want to listen to stories. It’s all Dumbledore’s fault. He has nothing better to do than to tell crappy stories. What good does it do him!
After a long time, the fire in the fireplace gradually went out, the rain outside the window became much lighter, and then there were sounds in the cottage again.

"What's the matter with your eyes?" Dumbledore asked. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ida rubbed her eyes hard and said unhappily, "Your eyes are too big to protect you from the wind and sand. People like you will never have this kind of trouble!"

"If possible, keep this secret for him forever, and don't do anything special." Dumbledore warned, "Remember, Remus is just your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, nothing more."

Gentle people hope that everyone will be treated gently by this world, but the world will never be gentle to those who are gentle at heart.

If you like weirdos, I'm actually very beautiful.
