The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"This kind of thing will pass, and I accept your apology."

After a long silence, Link finally spoke expressionlessly under the nervous gazes of Harry and Hermione.

To tell the truth, through lv2's Legilimency, Link could feel that Harry really wanted to apologize to him.

But even so, in fact, the so-called forgiveness that Link said was just perfunctory.

What Harry did this time really hurt Link's favorability.

Link is not a kindergartener, how could you let him put down his grudges with such a light apology.

In addition, Link and Harry have nothing to do with each other.

If nothing else, the relationship between Link and Harry is unlikely to return to the past.

But Harry and Hermione didn't seem to realize it yet.

When they heard Link say this, the two of them danced with excitement, almost jumping up.

At this time, Link finally found the dense red scar around Harry's neck.

Thinking of what Emily mentioned before, Link frowned and asked curiously:

"Harry, how did you get this injury?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Harry's face stagnated, and he quickly covered his neck and said:

"No, it's not a big deal, it's just that I accidentally splashed with hemp straw juice when I was taking potions class."

"is that so?"

Link was obviously in disbelief, and began to look at Hermione and Ron with questioning eyes.

Hermione obviously didn't want to say anything, and kept her head down in silence.

Ron was hesitant to speak, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth under Link's gaze and said:

"Oops! It's actually that Malfoy guy! He's getting more and more over the top now! He's been trying to get Harry into trouble all day. Malfoy had tricked Harry into beating him earlier, and he'd killed Harry. Locked up! This time Harry's injury was also caused by Malfoy and Snape's complicity, deliberately harming Harry! Link! You..."

"Enough Ron, stop talking!"

Harry interrupted Ron quickly.

Ron obviously wanted to continue to say something, but Harry covered his mouth very simply after that.

But even so, he was still looking at Link with expectant eyes.

The meaning hidden in those eyes was already obvious.

I just hope that Link can come forward to solve this matter, or directly teach Malfoy a lesson.

To be honest, this kind of thing is just a matter of moving his mouth for Link, and Draco is now afraid of him.

It's just that Link has no desire to do so at all.

Hearing this, he just nodded and said nothing.

Because it is obvious that the reason why Draco dares to slap Harry so arrogantly now must be backed by Emily.

This is what Emily calls a revenge plan.

Emily did this to vent her anger for him. If he tried to stop Draco, wouldn't Emily's kindness be regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs?

And it has to be said that Emily's approach is indeed very clever.

With her process, Dumbledore couldn't find Emily even if he was angry, after all, Draco did everything out of his own will.

And because of Link's silence, the atmosphere at the scene began to become embarrassing.

Ron lowered his head like Harry, he already knew Link's answer.

At this time, Hermione saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up to change the subject and said:

"Stop talking about that, Link, but there's something else, and I really hope you can do me a favor."

"You talk about it first."

Link said quietly.

"It's Professor Lupin," Hermione said slowly after looking at Harry and Ron, "He's about to resign, and he wants to see you before he leaves."

Link raised his brows and said:

"Is it because of the werewolf?"

Hermione nodded awkwardly.

Upon seeing this, Link immediately understood.

There are not a few smart people in Hogwarts, although neither Link nor Hermione have leaked Lupin's werewolf identity, but after a long time, plus Snape's previous hints, someone can find out Lupin's werewolf status is really normal.

And once his werewolf identity is exposed, there is absolutely no possibility of continuing to teach at Hogwarts.

Because no matter how Dumbledore explained it, the parents of the students just allowed their children to spend time with a werewolf.

It's not that parents are ignorant, it's just normal risk aversion.

Werewolf disease is contagious.

In a way, Dumbledore's excitement about having Lupin come to teach at Hogwarts was essentially irresponsible for the safety of other students.

Of course, Link is not qualified to say such a thing.

After all, he is a ticking time bomb.

As for what Hermione said, Link originally didn't want to see Lupin.

You must know that in the Sirius incident, Lupin did a lot more than Harry and the others.

This made Link not have the slightest affection for Lupin now.

But considering that Lupin had also helped him when he first crossed over, Link finally sighed and said:

"Why didn't he come to me in person?"

"He won't have a chance to meet you." Hermione said with her head lowered. "The roaring letters from the parents of the students fill up two whole sacks every day. Professor Lupin has now become the target of public criticism, and it just comes out. No. Now, even Defence Against the Dark Arts classes are taught by Professor Snape."

Link nodded and said:

"When is he going to leave?"

"The exact time hasn't been set, but it's not expected to be too long."

"Really? Then I'll send him off as well." Link nodded, "It can be considered to end a period of cause and effect."

Hermione and Harry had a happy smile on their faces when they heard that Link was going to send Lupin off.

But after hearing the second half of Link's words, the smile froze again.

Because of what Link said, it was clear that he didn't mean to forgive Lupin at all.

This made Harry hesitate a bit.

It's just that Link at this time has no interest in continuing to chat with Harry and the others.

He glanced at the pocket watch he carried with him, looked up and said:

"Then the matter is settled like this, you go back and have a good rest, goodbye."

After saying that, Link turned his head and left, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Only the three of them were left standing in the corridor, you look at me, I look at you, without saying a word for a long time.

...

In the days that followed, Link gradually adjusted back to his schedule and began to take regular breaks between classes.

After all, he has completely absorbed the knowledge of Occlumency, and the knowledge on the thick black-skinned notebook also needs to be taken slowly from Snape.

What's more, there is not much time left until the final exam at Hogwarts.

Link also needs to make up a make-up lesson.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for him to fail a few and go back.

And Professor Lupin finally formally submitted his resignation to Dumbledore the day before the exam.

Then Lupin packed his tattered suitcase and prepared to leave Hogwarts.

Today, he changed into a brand-new black trench coat, and trimmed his hair and beard. He looked in good spirits, and he was completely different from when he first came to Hogwarts.

Link also kept his promise and brought Emily to the gate of the castle to see Lupin off.

There were many people who came to see Lupin like Link.

Aside from Harry and Hermione, a small group of people had gathered around the entrance hall of the castle. Many of them seemed to be a little reluctant to leave Lupin, and a few of the lower grades even made some special arrangements. Small gifts like flowers line up for Lupin.

This kept Harry and Hermione busy.

They must maintain order at the scene.

Of course, there are more people who hide in the dark and watch indifferently.

Snape is a typical example.

He had been sitting in the auditorium early that morning, watching Lupin accepting the farewell gift there, the smile on his face almost reaching to the bottom of his ears.

Even Link discovered that Snape had washed his hair specially today!

That's enough evidence of his joy at Lupin's departure.

Link also understands.

After all, what could be more refreshing than seeing a former enemy being driven into a quagmire from the clouds?

I guess Snape thought that after Lupin left, he could only continue to do odd jobs and live a semi-vagrant life that was precarious and precarious?

However, Snape's wish is estimated to be in vain.

Lupin was in far better shape than Snape had expected.

He's been a professor at Hogwarts for so long, but he's saved a lot of money, and if he saves a little, it's enough to live on for a long time.

In addition, Lupin reunited with his good brother Sirius, and helped Sirius win a chance to reverse the case.

The most important thing is that in the past six months, his body has also improved under Madam Pomfleur's conditioning.

This was evident in his darkened hair and rosy face.

It's worth mentioning that, in a way, Lupin's savings was partly contributed by Snape.

Because after the Sirius incident, Lupin has been taking leave because of the turmoil caused by the identity of the werewolf.

Most of his Defence Against the Dark Arts classes were taken by Snape.

It was a vicious circle, as Snape would imply to the students that Lupin was a werewolf whenever he was in class.

Obviously this would lead to a stronger student resistance to Lupin.

However, although Lupin did not attend classes, he was paid according to his salary.

Snape, on the other hand, did not get a dime of substitute wages.

This meant that Snape had been working for Lupin for months in vain, while Lupin had been huddled in the office to get paid.

Well, although Snape did manage to drive Lupin away in the end.

But this time around, Link really doesn't know who made the money.

Maybe it's some kind of win-win?

Taking a deep breath, Link took his eyes away from Snape, turned and walked towards Lupin.

He hadn't forgotten that this time he came to find Lupin to cut off cause and effect.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Snape's face disappeared immediately.

But Link didn't care so much, and directly crossed the crowd and stood in front of Lupin.

"Link, I'm so glad you came to see me." Lupin looked very happy to see Link. "I need to apologize to you. It was my previous misjudgment that made..."

"You don't need to say anything if you apologize. I didn't come here to listen to you."

Link interrupted expressionlessly, "There is a magical animal expert living in the central area of ​​Greenland. He also has a werewolf maid at home. As far as I know, the other werewolf has never lost control, and can be autonomous. Transform. If you have time, go there and try your luck, maybe it can help you solve the transformation problem."

"Ah this..."

Lupin was obviously taken aback by Link, and stood there speechless for a moment.

His expression looked very complicated.

Because he heard the determination in Link's words.

I'm afraid he will be a stranger next time they meet, right?

Thinking like this, Lupin pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something.

It's just that Link didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left.

He'd done his best to tell Lupin about Greenland.

Link is not interested in continuing to mix things up.

"What did you tell that wolf cub?"

As soon as Link left the hall, Snape's gloomy voice came from behind him.

He turned his head, and sure enough, Snape with an extremely ugly face was already standing there.

Apparently, Snape's eye-sickness had flared up again.

Emily was a little flustered when she saw this, for fear that Link and Snape would clash and stop between them.

Klink said with a calm expression:

"I gave him time to try his luck in Greenland. There's a she-wolf there."

Link knew very well that Snape, as a master of closed-brain, naturally also had good attainments in Legilimency.

Therefore, in order to convince him that what he said was completely true, he just made some omissions.

Even Link turned off Occlumency.

And things were just as Link had expected. Snape's eyes lit up after hearing the words, and his expression softened instantly.

He grinned and said:

"You're right, that guy Lupin really needs to go to Greenland you said. It's better to have a bunch of cubs with that she-wolf!"

'So next time you have a new topic to attack Lupin, right? ’

Link groaned in the depths of his heart, but his face echoed the other's words with a light smile.

Snape was in a good mood when he was greeted with a smile on his face by Link.

He looked at the thick black note that Link had deliberately tucked under his arm, hehe smiled and said:

"Last time, we should have been taught the elixir, right?"

"Yeah, you just finished telling me the theoretical knowledge of Fuling agent, and the specific practice has not yet been carried out."

"I happen to be free today," Snape said coldly, suppressing the smile on his face, "I have all the materials ready, let's do it now."

After saying that, Snape turned around and walked towards the office.

And Link hurriedly followed, pulling Emily's arm before leaving.

This kind of opportunity to take a class was just missed by Emily.

As for Emily, she is still stunned.

She had just witnessed the fact that Link settled Snape in just a few words.

This made her unable to accept it for a while.

To know Snape's bad character, she had a deep understanding of it.
