Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Chapter 165 Professor Lupine

"Harry, it really is you. I just saw a bright light here in the office, and I guess it might be you."

With his hands in his pockets, Professor Lupine walked slowly towards Harry and Jiang Li. He was wearing a faded old dress and looked very comfortable.

Lupine looked at the wands the two of them were holding in their hands, and immediately understood what they were doing just now. He patted Harry on the shoulder with a smile: "I think you should be practicing the Patronus Charm, Harry, Don’t be in a hurry, it took your father and I a long time to master it.”

Lupine's arrival allowed Harry to end his complicated mental activities. He pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and said to Lupin, "But, professor, Li succeeded just now."

Lu Ping turned his head to look at Jiang Li, showing a gentle smile: "I remember you, the girl on the train, and the incident with the Boggart last time, did you feel better afterward?"

He spoke slowly, and there was gentleness in his deep voice, which made people feel very comfortable. Jiang Li liked his voice very much.

"Thank you, Professor, I'm fine now." Jiang Li bowed slightly to express his respect to Lu Ping.

"To be honest, your Boggart did scare me that day, it was like..." Lupine subconsciously glanced at Harry, but didn't say the last few words.

Jiang Li didn't shy away from it, and said it directly: "Black magic, professor, is this what you want to talk about?"

Lupine met her frank gaze, felt that his worries were unnecessary, and said with a smile: "Yes, it looks like a very destructive black magic, just like that person's handwriting."

The destructive power is of course great, after all, it is the proud work of Gellert Grindelwald, who once blew up Durmstrang's black magic in the early stages of development.

Lupine looked at the acquiescence in Jiang Li's eyes, and smiled gently at her as if to comfort her: "I'm sorry, child, you and Harry had a similar experience, Voldemort..."

Wait a minute!Jiang Li finally came to her senses, Lupine thought it was Voldemort who did it, but she herself subconsciously assumed that the person he was talking about was Gellert.

"No, professor, it's not Voldemort." Jiang Li looked into Lupin's eyes and said word by word, "Voldemort is not even worthy to carry his shoes!"

Her feelings towards Gellert are very complicated. She resents Gellert for killing Rita without hesitation, but she can't forget Gail who lived together when she was young and Geller who pampered her several times in Paris. special.

She still defended Gellert in her heart, and when Lupine mistook Gellert's curse for Voldemort, she actually felt a little angry, not for Lupine.

Voldemort, he deserves too?

Lupine actually couldn't figure out why Jiang Li was so afraid of that spell, but he was so protective of the wizard who used it. Moreover, he couldn't think of anyone else who was a dark wizard stronger than Voldemort.

Harry was even more confused, he couldn't understand the conversation between Lupine and Jiang Li at all, he just understood that there seemed to be a dark wizard who was more powerful than Voldemort.

Harry's already pale face turned pale again. One Voldemort is enough to break people down. If there is someone more powerful than him, wouldn't it be a disaster if they teamed up.

Harry was in a trance, when he heard Lupine's brisk voice, he seemed to change the subject again.

"I remember that you seem to have a pet dog. I heard from Harry that the dog likes him very much."

"Yes! I picked it up at the station, and it always sneaks out to look for Harry! I really want to give it to Harry directly!" Speaking of Xiao Hei, Jiang Li became furious, Obviously, I am the owner of this smelly dog, and it always likes to sneak out to find Harry.

"It wasn't exactly looking for me. More often it was looking for Ron's Scabbers, the poor mouse who nearly killed him several times." Harry immediately joined their conversation.

In fact, he didn't like Ron's Scabbers. That stinky mouse always had a bad smell and was missing a paw. It looked very wretched.

What's even more frightening is that when he woke up in the middle of the night several times, he could see that wretched mouse being held in Ron's arms, staring at him with its head poised, and the pair of red bean-sized mouse eyes reflected in the quiet night. With a strange light.

But Ron liked this mouse very much. He said that Scabbers had been at the Weasleys' house since he was born and had been growing up with him. Merlin, what kind of mouse is this? It has lived for 13 years!For Ron's sake, Harry resisted the urge to feed Scabbers to Crookshanks or Blackie.

After listening to Harry's words, Lupine frowned, as if caught in a memory, then he shook his head like self-denial, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"To be honest, I don't like that mouse either. It always smells, and Ron doesn't think it smells bad when he holds it every day! Xiao Hei, I always want to eat it, don't you think it smells bad!" Speaking of Scabbers, Jiang Li also complained, she disliked that stinky mouse that lived for a long time just like Harry.

"Xiao Hei? You named it Xiao Hei?" Lupine pursed his lips, as if he was trying to hold back a smile, as if Xiao Hei's name was a humorous joke.

"What's the matter, Professor? Is there something wrong with this name?" Seeing him trying to hold back his smile, Jiang Li was very puzzled. What happened to Xiao Hei? There is a saying in her hometown that life is easy to support.

Lupine coughed twice, straightened his face, and returned to his original calm appearance: "No, this name is very good, it fits the dog's temperament very well!"

After Lu Ping finished speaking, he gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, expressing his approval of the name she gave Xiao Hei.

He looked at his watch and said with some regret: "Sorry, kids, I have to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts class to the fifth graders again. Excuse me. It was a pleasure chatting with you."

He patted Jiang Li and Harry's shoulders, put his hands in his pockets again, turned around and walked briskly towards Hogwarts Castle.

"He's simply the best teacher at Hogwarts!" Jiang Li murmured while watching Lu Ping leave.

Then he added: "He looks like a Hufflepuff."

"You guessed wrong this time, Li, Professor Lupine graduated from Gryffindor!" Harry raised his head, proud that Gryffindor had someone like Professor Lupine.

"He's so gentle, just like that person!"

Jiang Li looked at Lu Ping's back as he went away. He was really like Newt, as gentle and strong, and he was comfortable and comfortable to get along with. She could always find Newt's shadow in the people around her. If Professor Lu Ping hadn't It's even better to laugh wildly and shake your shoulders.

No idea where Newt is now.

I really miss him.
