Chapter 164 Remus Lupin

The remaining ten days passed peacefully, except that Avada was tortured a lot by a subject about teleportation of mental power, and his monster book was used as a toy by his juniors for a while. Other than that, everything was running as normal without any disturbance.

Fortunately, he had stabbed the monster book to death with a decisive wand, otherwise God knows how he would have spent the rest of his days - I just don't know if Hagrid would have any objections to this.

In this way, time quietly came to September 1st again.

"Huh, I haven't felt so relaxed for a long time..."

Looking at the old-fashioned locomotive that was spitting out white steam, Avada suddenly felt a long-lost sense of comfort pouring down from the top of his head and covering his whole body - he was finally about to usher in the safest and calmest year since he entered school. .

When he first entered the wizarding world in the first grade, he was worried about his outrageous name; in the second grade, the shadow of Voldemort hung over his heart, making him nervous; and last year, he originally thought it would be a little better, but it didn't. Thinking of the Horcrux Diary secretly using his ultimate move behind his back...

And this year - everything finally settled down.

He has eliminated all threats in the original work - Voldemort himself, the Horcruxes left behind by Voldemort, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and those pure-blood families who have just received a blow on the head, which should make them be honest for a while. ...and the dementors who would have caused a lot of trouble this year will not be sent to the school because they lost the clue "Harry Potter is at Hogwarts".

In addition, Sirius Black does not need to be on guard, as long as he can finally contact him and get the locket in Grimmauld Place; Peter Pettigrew has been closely monitored by him from the beginning, and there is no secret. Possibility of running away...

There was nothing to worry about except that Hagrid might let loose and sneak out a fire dragon.

"It's outrageous - I've been attending Hogwarts for four years, and it's only now that I can experience a normal school life..."

"By the way, should I prepare for the OWS exam next year? Time flies so fast..."

While complaining secretly, he walked into the train with his luggage and looked for an empty compartment - he came quite early, so he should be able to get a seat slightly closer to the front.

"Hey, Cedric? Are you sitting so far forward? And this is..."

"Oh, this is Penelope Crevat, Prefect of Ravenclaw."

Cedric pointed at the girl opposite who was wearing a blue wizard robe and was immersed in a book of "Transfiguration Today". She raised her head and smiled lightly at Avada, nodded and buried her head again. He looked like a Ravenclaw.

"Oh, by the way, you don't know that yet, right?"

Cedric lowered his voice and took the initiative to get up and leave the box. He chuckled to Avada in the corridor and said, "I have also been promoted to prefect this year. Penelo and I were just waiting for Percy and Montague to come together. Discussing various matters regarding the start of school..."

As he spoke, he took out a shiny and exquisite badge from his pocket and handed it to Avada. Avada also took it very cooperatively and looked at it, while not forgetting to praise in a low voice: "You should Are you a superior? Congratulations..."

"You don't need to congratulate me."

Cedric was very humble, but the ever-rising corners of his mouth betrayed his true feelings: "You are much better than me, and you will definitely need a prefect badge after your fifth grade. Let alone prefect. , the position of student union president will definitely be reserved for you..."

"Forget it then."

Only then did Avada remember that she might be facing something like a prefect: "I don't know how to take care of people. Taking this kind of job would just add pressure... By the way, you're quite busy this year, right? You have to be a boss again." Prefect, you have to prepare for the OWLS exam, organize Quidditch training, and take eleven classes..."

"...It's a bit busy."

The smile on Cedric's face faded a little: "But it should still be okay. Percy was under more pressure than me in fifth grade. I'll have to ask him for advice later. I really don't know how he did it. You can be a prefect and get twelve certificates at the same time..."

"Excuse me, let me borrow it for a little while."

"Oh, sorry……"

The two of them realized then that they were standing too loosely in the hallway and blocking other people's way. It was because there were so few people on the train that they could stand outside chatting for so long. So while they quickly made room, they also looked at the visitor.

That man didn't look like a student - although his face looked young, his rough skin, unshaved stubble, or light brown hair that had been mixed with white all showed that the man in front of him had gone through a lot. There was no wind and rain; he was wearing a somewhat tattered wizard robe with many patches on it. When paired with the dilapidated suitcase in his hand, he looked even more weathered and weathered.

"You...are a professor?"

Cedric was stunned.

"Remus Lupin, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - you are this year's new prefect? ​​Come on, good boy."

Lupine patted Cedric on the shoulder, turned to smile at Avada, and walked towards the back of the train.

"Professor actually rides the Hogwarts Express?"

Cedric murmured in surprise, but received no response. He withdrew his eyes from staring at Professor Lupine's back in confusion and turned to the side, only to find that Avada, who had been chatting with him normally just now, was still staring at Lupin seriously...

"Ken? Ken?"

"What's wrong?"

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Is it possible that this year's new professor also has problems?"

He didn't forget that Avada already had the records of two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors - Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort the year before last, and Lockhart, the liar last year, both were exposed by the one in front of him. …

Fortunately, he didn't know about Professor Baker, otherwise he might have cast the Iron Armor Curse right now.

"Nothing... I'm just a little curious as to why the professor came to take the train."

Avada shivered slightly, then came back to her senses and smiled at Cedric: "At least you should trust the principal a little bit. How can there be problems if you just hire a professor? If Dumbledore really has this ability, The Auror Office has been cooperating with him for a long time - whoever he sends a letter of appointment to, he will immediately arrest him in Azkaban..."

After the two of them had almost laughed at this immoral joke, he straightened up and waved his hand: "I have to go to the box too. If we continue talking, we will get in the way... See you at school."

"Well, see you at school."

After watching Cedric quietly return to the box, Avada once again looked in the direction where Lupin disappeared, with some surprise and confusion in his eyes——

That werewolf curse hidden in Lupin's life force... He might, might, probably...

Can it be solved? ? ?
