Chapter 247
Deveraux leaned against the door, his eyes sweeping over Lupin's worn-out suitcase.
The suitcase was tied tightly with ropes and tied in neat knots, as if to prevent the contents from falling out.
The edges of the suitcase were worn out, and it was obvious that it had accompanied its owner through many ups and downs.
"It's him, after all."
Deveraux thought to himself.
As early as when he proposed the idea of the wolfsbane potion, he guessed that Snape and Dumbledore would call Lupin as an experimental subject.
It was just because Lupin seemed to be entangled in other affairs at the time, the plan was delayed again and again, and Luna eventually became the first experimental subject.
Now it seems that Lupin has finally come - most likely to receive treatment.
Lupin stood at the door, bowed slightly, with a tired smile on his face.
"Hello, classmate,"
he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Excuse me, is Professor Snape here? I'm Remus Lupin, and Professor Dumbledore introduced me here."
Deveraux looked at the man in front of him.
His robes were so worn out that it was unbearable to look at them, and his face was obviously tired, as if he had to work hard to speak.
"The professor and the headmaster are discussing something,"
Deveraux stepped aside.
"Sir, please put down your box first and come in and sit for a while. You look... like you need a rest."
Lupin's smile revealed a bit of helplessness and gratitude. He nodded and walked into the laboratory carefully.
His steps were slow and cautious, and he seemed to be on guard against knocking something over with every step.
The laboratory was filled with a faint smell of potions, and several workbenches were filled with bottles and semi-finished potions.
Lupin was obviously not familiar with the environment here, and his eyes swept around, as if he was looking for a suitable place to stay.
Deveraux used the levitation spell to gently pull a chair in front of Lupin, his movements were skillful and natural, as if such magic was as simple as breathing to him.
The chair landed steadily on the ground without making a single unnecessary sound.
Lupin looked at the young wizard's actions, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled sincerely.
"Student, you are quite good at using spells,"
Lupin said, with a little appreciation in his tone.
"When I was your age, I could only move feathers or something with my wand."
Deveraux just smiled slightly and didn't respond.
But he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "If you knew that I had caught Voldemort directly, I wonder what your expression would be."
He didn't think about it anymore, and asked after Lupin sat down.
"Mr. Lupin, is there something important that you came to see Professor Snape this time?"
Lupin nodded, and just as he was about to explain, he suddenly stopped.
His eyes swept across the laboratory and finally fell on Deveraux's face, as if he was weighing something.
There was a hint of caution in his expression, even with a little tentativeness.
"Well... yes,"
Lupin said slowly, with a slightly hesitant tone.
"This time... Um, classmate, you should know the project that Professor Snape is in charge of now, right?"
Deveraux smiled secretly when he saw Lupin's cautious look, but pretended to be serious on his face, nodded slightly and said:
"Mr. Lupin, don't worry, I am Professor Snape's assistant, my name is Deveraux Alexander. You should have heard of it, right? So you can rest assured, it's no problem to tell me."
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of his name when introducing himself, with a bit of confidence.
Sure enough, when he heard the name "Deveraux Alexander", Lupin was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He carefully looked at the boy in front of him, as if he was confirming something.
After a moment, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly.
"Oh my God, I didn't recognize it!"
Lupin sighed, with a bit of helplessness and emotion in his tone.
"So you are the Deveraux Alexander who made the front page of the Daily Prophet! No wonder, no wonder... You are the only one who can be a professor's assistant at such a young age."
Deveraux saw Lupin's look of realization, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he was muttering in his heart.
"Sure enough, fame is still quite useful, at least it can make people let down their guard."
After sighing for a while, Lupin restrained his smile and his expression became serious again.
He cleared his throat and said seriously.
"Student Alexander, I was invited by Professor Dumbledore this time to assist Professor Snape's experimental project."
Here, he paused, a bitter smile flashed in his eyes, and added softly:
"So in the future, maybe we will be colleagues. Please give me more advice."
Deveraux heard Lupin's question and understood it. Dumbledore's style was exactly as he expected: it was not only to help Lupin cure his illness, but also to solve his life difficulties.
This... Isn't this the chosen worker that Devereux has been waiting for for a long time? !
Thinking that there is finally someone who can share the tedious work in the laboratory, his enthusiasm immediately reached a higher level.
"Okay, Assistant Professor Lupin! Just call me Devereux from now on, and there is no need to be too formal with colleagues."
He waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone.
"The work in our laboratory is actually very simple, just measuring data, feeding medicine, recording experimental reports and so on, you will be able to get started soon."
Lupine listened, smiled gently, and nodded.
But then he frowned again and asked as if he was a little uneasy.
"By the way, Devereaux, how is the progress of this experiment so far? Uh... I mean, before I came here, I heard that the urge to hurt people after transforming into a wolf can be suppressed. Is that true?"
Seeing this, Devereaux patted Lupine on the shoulder, his tone relaxed but with a hint of certainty.
"Don't worry, we are making good progress. Soon, you will be able to live like an ordinary person, and you will no longer have to worry about turning into a wolf."
As soon as these words were spoken, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in Lupine's eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the depression he had felt for many years was finally relieved a little.
However, his smile quickly froze, as if he suddenly realized something, and his whole person suddenly became nervous.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
There was a trace of panic in Lupine's voice, and he raised his head sharply, staring directly at Devereux.
"Devereux, how did you know I was a werewolf?!"
