"Thank you, Professor." Hermione bowed slightly to Professor Lupine to show her thanks. Just now, Professor Lu Ping's guidance to her thesis made her suddenly enlightened. At the same time, I was a little ashamed: Although Professor Snape said something ugly, he actually had something to say. My thesis is really not worthy of such a high score.

"Yeah." Lupine nodded, and then the three fell silent again.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Finally Lupine said to Hermione with some helplessness, "Miss Granger, I have something to do with Mr. Yodle—I hope he can be my assistant and help me tutor someone."

Mentor someone? Hermione was at a loss, but Tom vaguely had an answer.

"I need him to help Mr. Potter practice the Patronus Charm and other spells." Lupine showed off, much to Hermione's surprise.

Tom, help with the spell?

Sounds like a good thing, but why Tom? Spell sparring sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this excuse is ridiculous. What kind of sparring does Lupine need? Can't he do this kind of thing by himself?

"Peers are more motivating." Lupine gave a slightly tenable excuse. In fact, this is Dumbledore's arrangement.

After hearing that Harry was a little afraid of dementors, Dumbledore immediately found Lupine, hoping that he could help Harry, and if possible, it would be better to grab Tom Yodel.

Encouraged by his friend's orphan and his teacher's request, Lu Ping happily accepted the task. And his solution is to give Tom and Harry a little trouble.

"Professor, if possible, I think you can consider teaching the Patronus Charm to everyone, so that more students can learn this spell." Tom made a suggestion.

The more people who know the Patronus Charm, the better.

Lupine thought about it, and felt that teaching one is teaching, teaching a group is also teaching, there is no big problem.

"It's a very difficult spell—"

"If you don't learn, you will never, will you?"

There is some truth to this statement. So Professor Lupine included the Patronus Charm in his teaching content.

"So it's a deal? You will be my little assistant?"

"No problem at all."

After reaching a consensus, Lupine also relaxed a lot.

"Have a cup of tea?" He found his teapot, tapped it with his wand, and a puff of steam came out of the spout. The water has boiled.

Lupine had already talked to this point, Tom and Hermione naturally did not refuse, and sat opposite Lupin. Lupine took out a dusty jar and took out the tea bags inside.

Used to being poor, Lupine maintained his austere habits even after he got a well-paid job. This is the crisis awareness he has cultivated over the years. Lupine has been saving money in case he suddenly loses his job and finds himself in a difficult situation again.

"I heard that you are good at tea divination?" Looking at the tea bag in his hand, Lupine remembered Tom's rumored "talent", and asked curiously.

"Yeah." Tom admitted generously, "How do you know?"

"How could I not know if I'm deaf or not, something that the whole school has talked about—" Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in," said Lupine loudly.

Snape walked in with a slightly smoking goblet. Seeing Tom and Hermione here, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.

Snape had come to deliver Lupine's Wolfsbane potion.

The chamaejasma potion should be taken a few days before the full moon, so that the effect can be maximized. The potion he prepared last time has been exhausted by Lupine, so he needs to boil another pot for emergencies. As a werewolf at Hogwarts, Lupine had better have a permanent stock of Wolfsbane in his office.

Although Snape had a poisonous tongue, he was indeed a responsible professor who put the safety of the students first. So, he worked out the Wolfsbane potion overnight and sent it to Lupine. Unexpectedly, he actually met Tom Yoddle and Hermione Granger in Lupine's office.

Snape suddenly felt better. He knew very well that both Tom and Hermione were students who were good at Potions, and Tom had even studied the replica of Wolfsbane Potion with him. It was easy for Tom to spot Wolfsbane.

After recognizing the Wolfsbane potion, Lupine's identity is ready to be revealed—it can't be said that Lupine is also obsessed with potions, right?

"Remember to take it on time." Snape said coldly, his words were full of hints.

"No problem." Lupine seemed oblivious, as if he hadn't noticed Snape's hint.

He accepted the potion from Snape, and politely asked Tom and Hermione to leave the room.

…

"Tom, I thought you should have figured it out!" Hermione quickly walked in front of Tom and blocked him.

"See what?" asked Tom knowingly.

Hermione froze for a moment and hesitated, she also understood that this kind of thing cannot be said in public. She looked around and found no one around, so she lowered her voice, "Of course it's Professor Lupine's real body..."

"I know." Tom's flat attitude drove Hermione a little crazy.

"I trust Professor Dumbledore." Hermione choked on the second half of the sentence and was speechless.

"Okay then," Hermione shook her head helplessly, and her brown hair fluttered along with it, "Just as long as you know it in your heart."

At this time, a flying pigeon attracted the attention of the two.

It was Tom's carrier pigeon.

"This is?" Hermione leaned over curiously, wanting to read the contents of the letter. But it was out of the way by Tom.

Hermione:?

"A small project, which I mentioned to you earlier."

Hermione understood immediately: this was news about a private prison.

"So fast?" She was a little surprised. She is well aware of the troublesome aspects of dealing with the government. Daying's administrative efficiency is surprisingly low~lightnovelpub.net~ She thought that there would be no news until the end of this year. Even the end of this year is a luxury: because this year the cabinet will change.

The ministers are all concentrating on the change of the cabinet, how can they have the mind to approve a private prison?

The proposal is submitted and approved by the cabinet—this is an application to contract a prison for serious criminals, and it will definitely cause controversy, and it may even go to the parliament. Even if they were lucky, the cabinet and parliament agreed to Tom's application, and after he ran through a lot of complicated procedures, there was still a big difficulty in front of them: building a prison.

Everyone understands the infrastructure of Great Britain. Chances are that the prison is still under construction when Tom graduates...

"So what's going on? What's the news?" Hermione was so curious that she couldn't help asking.
