Chapter 383 Lupin in Action

Putting aside the misunderstanding on Harry's part, Lupine returned to school after recuperating in the Shrieking Shack for two days.

After two days of thinking, Lupine felt that the content on the note was still credible, but Sirius Black, as a madman who blew up an entire street in public, would do some unreasonable things. It's not impossible.

There are many Death Eaters who only want to destroy people.

Therefore, Lu Ping also made a decision in his heart.

First find out whether Ron Weasley had a pet rat, and then take advantage of the following Easter vacation to go out and investigate. Although it is likely that nothing will be investigated, Lupine needs more evidence to convince himself. To believe what Blake wrote on that note.

And if Black is really innocent, Lupine needs this evidence to exonerate him.

"...Today's class ends here. Before the next class, everyone needs to complete a paper about evil spirits. The length must be more than fifteen inches."

Lu Ping was tidying up the teaching aids on the table and assigning homework to the students, which caused a lot of wailing from below.

As the final exams approached day by day, even Lupine began to increase the amount of homework for them.

After assigning the homework, Lupine paused for a moment, and then said: "Ron, you stay here first, the others can go."

Lupine was not going to ask around, but decided to ask Ron directly. Anyway, according to Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew had escaped, so there was no need for him to cover up his purpose.

However, he didn't know that what he did frightened Ron.

"Is he trying to bite me?"

Ron grabbed Harry's robe tightly and asked with a trembling voice.

Before Harry could speak, Hermione rolled her eyes: "This is in school, and so many people know that you were detained by Professor Lupin, and you were bitten by an untransformed werewolf. , he won’t turn into a werewolf. At most, he will change his living habits a little bit...such as liking to eat bloody steaks.”

"That won't work either!"

Despite what he said, Ron was indeed relieved, but he still hoped that Harry and Hermione could stay with him.

As for Fei Xu?

If he dares to do that, he will be beaten to death by other girls!

"Sorry, I have to get to Muggle Studies class."

Hermione refused decisively and walked out of the classroom quickly. Harry stayed loyally.

"What the hell is she talking about? Doesn't Muggle Studies start at the same time as Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

After Hermione disappeared out the door, Ron turned around and said to Harry with wide eyes.

Faced with Ron's question, Harry, who knew no more than him, spread his hands and shrugged.

While the two were chatting, Lupine came over, and Ron immediately took half a step back, staring at him warily.

Lu Ping was slightly startled when he saw this, then smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you have discovered my secret..."

He is very familiar with Ron's current state. Whenever someone discovers that he is a werewolf, he is basically in this state. Ron is fine, and those who are more aggressive may even attack him directly.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that it's really difficult for a werewolf to find a job. So, can you please keep my secret?"

After his identity was revealed, Lupine seemed very generous, which made Harry even more convinced that he was not a bad person.

Ron still looked vigilant, but his attitude softened a little.

"Of course," Harry nodded, "We still like the classes you teach. As long as you don't attack the students, we have no reason to expel you."

Ron squeaked twice, and although he was a little reluctant, he didn't object to Harry's statement.

"Thank you very much, then." Lupine smiled and got down to business, "It's not a big deal that I'm looking for Ron. I just heard that he had a special pet rat, so I was curious to see it."

"You mean Scabbers?" Hearing someone mention his pet again, Ron felt depressed again. "It has disappeared. When our family traveled to Egypt... it was probably picked up by the cats there. Taken away."

In agreement with Sirius...

Lupine narrowed his eyes, believing the words on the note more and more.

However, he still wanted to confirm further, so he continued to ask: "Can you tell me in detail? About Banban."

"What's there to say about it?" Ron didn't know. "Scabbers is just an ordinary mouse. Percy raised him as an unwanted one and then left it to me."

"Percy left it for you? How long has it been at your house?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I saw Percy raising it when I was very young."

Now Lupine was basically sure that even if the rat raised by Ron was not Peter Pettigrew, it was definitely not an ordinary rat. A rat could not live for such a long time.

"Okay, thank you."

Lupine didn't ask any more questions. Ron and the others had obviously always regarded Scabbers as an ordinary mouse, and they couldn't get anything out of him no matter how much they asked.

So he smiled at Harry and Ron and left the classroom.

"What the hell is he doing?"

Lupin's behavior was so strange that Ron, who was confused, even temporarily forgot his disgust for werewolves and turned to discuss with Harry.

"Who knows? Maybe werewolves want to eat mice when they are not transformed?" Harry was also confused.

"Oh, then I would rather believe that Scabbers is some kind of magical animal, so that it would not be eaten by those cats in Egypt."

After a few months, Ron thought of Scabbers again, and he felt a little sad again.

"By the way, do you think it is possible that this matter is related to Sirius Black?"

For some reason, this idea suddenly popped up in Harry's mind.

"Don't tease me, buddy," Ron laughed, "It's impossible that Lupin is using mice to inform Black, right?"

After the two of them analyzed it blindly without any clue, they put the matter behind their minds.

On the other hand, after Lupin got the information he wanted, he basically believed the content of the note, but he still planned to leave school during Easter to search for more clues, preferably to find the mouse Scabbers suspected of Peter Pettigrew...

Although the possibility of that was not great, whether it was to further determine the truth or to clear Sirius's name later, it was necessary to find Scabbers, or Peter Pettigrew.

So Harry, who was still monitoring Lupin, soon discovered that with the arrival of the Easter holiday, the small black dot representing Lupin completely disappeared from the Marauder's Map.

"Professor Lupin went out to find creatures to be used in the next class and the final exam."

When Harry asked Professor McGonagall about Lupin's whereabouts, he got this answer, which was also the excuse Lupin used to apply to Dumbledore for going out.

However, in the eyes of Harry and others who had long been suspicious, Lupin was very likely to take this opportunity to leave school and meet up with Sirius Black.

So Lupin, who was about to get rid of suspicion, suddenly became suspicious again in the eyes of Harry and others.

It is very difficult to write a story without the cat, but I have to explain it clearly, otherwise how can I cheat on the manuscript f... ah no... water j... uh... that's not right either...

Well, anyway, if I don't explain it, the story will feel disconnected, I have tried to describe it as simply as possible.

The next chapter will return to the perspective of the cat!
