The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 256: Farewell to Lupin
"This kind of thing will pass, and I accept your apologies."
After a long silence, Link finally said expressionlessly under the nervous gazes of Harry and Hermione.
To tell the truth, Link could feel that Harry really wanted to apologize to him through lv2's chanting spell.
But despite this, in fact Link's so-called forgiveness is just perfunctory.
What Harry did this time really hurt Link's favorability.
Link is not a kindergarten kid, so how could you make him let go of his grudge with such an understatement of 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 this yet.
When Link said this, the two of them were dancing with excitement, almost almost jumping.
At this time, Link finally found the dense red scars on Harry's neck.
Reminiscing about what Emily had mentioned before, Link frowned, pretending to be curious and asked:
"Harry, how did you get this injury?"
As soon as he said this, the smile on Harry's face stagnated, and he quickly covered his neck and said:
"No, nothing big, it's just that I was accidentally splashed with hemp straw juice when I was in the potions class."
"Is that right?"
Link obviously didn't believe it, and began to look at Hermione and Ron with questioning eyes.
Hermione obviously didn't want to say it, lowered her head to remain silent.
Ron was hesitant to speak, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth under Link's gaze and said:
"Oh! It's Malfoy, actually! He's getting too much now! He's been trying to find Harry trouble all day. Malfoy used intrigue to tease Harry before hitting him, and he killed Harry. Was confined! This time Harry's injury was also a collusion between Malfoy and Snape and deliberately harmed Harry! Link! You..."
"Enough Ron, stop talking!"
Harry interrupted Ron quickly.
Ron obviously wanted to continue to say something, but Harry simply covered his mouth afterwards.
But even so, he was still looking at Link with expectation.
The meaning hidden in that gaze is already obvious.
I just hope Link can come forward to solve this matter, or teach Malfoy directly.
To be honest, this kind of thing was just a matter of moving his mouth to Link, and Draco was afraid of him now.
It's just that Link has no desire to do so at all.
Hearing this, he just nodded and said nothing.
Because it was obvious that the reason Draco dared to arrogantly attack Harry now was definitely supported 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 he take Emily's kindness as a donkey liver and lungs?
And what I have to say is that Emily's approach is indeed very clever.
After 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 on the scene began to become embarrassing.
Ron lowered his head even more like Harry, he already knew Link's answer.
At this moment, Hermione saw a bad sight, and hurriedly stood up and changed the subject:
"Don't talk about it, Link, there's still something else, I really hope you can help."
"Let's talk about it first."
Link said quietly.
"Professor Lupin," Hermione looked at Harry and Ron, then pursed her lips and said slowly, "He is about to resign. He wants to see you before he leaves."
Link raised his brows and said:
"Is it because of the werewolf?"
Hermione nodded with an ugly expression.
Upon seeing this, Link understood instantly.
There are many smart people in Hogwarts. Although neither Link nor Hermione have revealed Lupin’s identity as a werewolf, over time, plus Snape’s previous hints, someone can find out. Lupin's identity as a werewolf is really normal.
Once his werewolf identity was revealed, there would never be any possibility of continuing to teach at Hogwarts.
Because no matter how Dumbledore explained, the parents of the students only allowed their children to get along with a werewolf day and night.
This is not because parents are ignorant, but just normal risk aversion.
Werewolf disease is contagious.
From a certain perspective, Dumbledore’s excitement of letting Lupin come to Hogwarts to teach is essentially irresponsible for the safety of other students.
Of course, Link was not qualified to say such things.
After all, he himself is a time bomb.
As for what Hermione said, Link didn't want to see Lupin.
You know that Lupin did a lot more than Harry and the others in the Sirius incident.
This makes Link not have the slightest affection for Lupin now.
But considering that Lupin had also helped him when he first crossed over, Link sighed in the end:
"Why doesn't he come to me in person?"
"He has no chance to meet you." Hermione lowered her head. "The roaring letter sent by the students' parents can fill two full sacks every day. Professor Lupin has now become a target of public criticism. No. Now, even the Defence Against the Dark Arts class is taught by Professor Snape."
Link nodded and said:
"When is he going to leave?"
"The exact time has not been set, but it is not expected to be too long."
"Really? Then I'll send him off too." Link nodded, "It's also a cause and effect."
Hermione and Harry had a happy smile on their faces when they heard that Link was going to send Lupin.
But after hearing the second half of Link's words, the smile froze again.
Because of what Link said, there was clearly no meaning to forgive Lupin.
This made Harry hesitate to speak.
It's just that Link is no longer interested in chatting with Harry and the others anymore.
He glanced at the pocket watch he was carrying and looked up:
"Then the matter is settled like this, you go back and have a good rest, goodbye."
After that, Link turned his head and left, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Only the three of Harry remained standing in the corridor, you look at me, I look at you, long time no words.
...
In the following days, Link gradually adjusted back to his work and rest, and began to rest between classes.
After all, he had completely absorbed the knowledge of Occlumency, and the knowledge on the thick black notes also needed to be slowly taken from Snape.
What's more, there is not much time left before the final exam at Hogwarts.
Link also needs to make up a make-up lesson.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if he really failed a few and went back.
And Professor Lu Ping finally formally submitted his resignation to Dumbledore the day before the exam.
Then Lupin packed his broken suitcase and prepared to leave Hogwarts.
Today, he changed into a brand-new black trench coat, trimmed his hair and beard, and looked very energetic. 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 are many people who come to send Lupin like Link.
In addition to Harry and Hermione, a small group of people had gathered around the foyer of the castle. Many of them seemed to be a little bit dissatisfied with Lupin's departure. A few lower-grade students even made some special efforts. Small gifts such as flowers lined up for Lupin.
This puts Harry and Hermione in a hurry.
They must maintain order on the scene.
Of course, there are more people who hide in the dark and watch with cold eyes and love to hear and hear.
Among them, Snape is a typical example.
He sat in the auditorium early that day, watching Lupin accepting the farewell gift there, the smile on his face almost reached the roots of his ears.
Even Link found out that Snape had washed his hair specially today!
This is enough to prove his joy at Lupin's departure.
Link can also understand.
After all, what could be more refreshing than seeing the former enemy being driven into the quagmire from the clouds?
Presumably, Snape thought that after Lupin left, he could only continue to do odd jobs, and live the semi-vagrant life that was precarious, right?
But Snape's wish was probably going to fail.
Lupin's situation was far better than Snape had predicted.
He has been a professor at Hogwarts for such a long time, but he has saved a lot of savings. If he saves a little, it will be enough for him to live for a long time.
In addition, Lu Ping reunited with his good brother Sirius, and helped Sirius fight for a chance to reverse the case.
The most important thing is that his body has also improved under the conditioning of Mrs. Pomfleur in the past six months.
This can be seen in his blackened hair and rosy face.
It is worth mentioning that, from a certain perspective, Snape contributed part of the savings that Lupin had saved.
Because since the Sirius incident ended, Lupin has been asking for leave due to the disturbance caused by his identity as a werewolf.
Most of his defense against the dark arts classes were given by Snape.
This was a vicious circle, because Snape would suggest to the students that Lupin was a werewolf as long as he was in class.
Obviously this will cause the students to resist Lupin even more strongly.
However, although Lupin did not attend classes, he still took his salary.
But Snape didn't get a dime as a substitute salary.
This is equivalent to saying that Snape had helped Lupin for months of work for nothing, and Lupin had squeezed in his office and ate nothing.
Well, although Snape did succeed in driving Lupin away in the end.
But this wave, Link really didn't know who made it.
Perhaps, it is also a kind of win-win situation?
Taking a deep breath, Link took his gaze away from Snape, turned and walked towards Lupin.
He hasn't forgotten that he came to find Lupin this time to cut off cause and effect.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Snape's face disappeared immediately.
But Link didn't care about so much, and stood directly in front of Lu Ping, crossing the crowd.
"Link, I'm so glad you came to see me off." Seeing Link, Lupin looked very happy. "I need to apologize to you. It was my previous misjudgment that made..."
"You don't have to say if you apologize, I didn't come here to listen to you."
Link interrupted expressionlessly, "A magical animal expert lives in the central area of Greenland. He also has a werewolf maid in his family. As far as I know, the other werewolves have never lost control, and they are still autonomous. Transformation. 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 looks very complicated.
Because he heard the determination in Link's words.
I'm afraid he will be a stranger the next time he meets, right?
Thinking about this, Lupin's lips murmured as if he wanted to say something.
But Link didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left.
He had done his best to tell Lupin that there was information about Greenland.
For the next thing, Link was not interested in going into it anymore.
"What did you say to that wolf cub?"
As soon as Link left the hall, Snape's somber voice came from behind him.
He turned his head, and he saw that Snape, who had an extremely ugly face, was already standing there.
It was obvious that Snape's eye disease had happened again.
Emily was a little flustered when she saw this, for fear that Link and Snape would have a conflict and be stopped between the two.
But Link said with ease:
"I gave him time to try his luck in Greenland. There is a female werewolf there."
Link knew very well that Snape, as a master of closed brains, naturally had good attainments in chanting mantras.
So Link, in order to convince him that he was telling the truth, was just a little cut.
Even Link has turned off the Occlumency.
And things were exactly as Link expected. Snape's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his expression softened instantly.
He grinned and said:
"You are right, that guy Lupin really needs to visit Greenland. It's best to have a bunch of little wolf cubs with that she-wolf!"
‘So next time you have a new topic to attack Lupin, right? ’
Link murmured deep in his heart, but his face echoed the other party's words with a chuckle.
Snape was in a great mood when he was held up by Link.
He looked at the thick black notes that Link deliberately clamped under his arm~lightnovelpub.net~ Hehe smiled:
"Last time we should have taught a blessing potion, right?"
"Yes, you have just finished talking about the theoretical knowledge of Fu Ling Ji, and the specific practical operation has not yet been carried out."
"I happen to be free today," Snape said with a suppressed smile on his face, pretending to be nonchalant, "I have all the materials ready, so let's do it now."
After speaking, Snape turned and walked towards the office.
And Link hurriedly followed, and pulled Emily's arm before leaving.
Emily missed this opportunity to take lessons from Link.
As for Emily, she is still dumbfounded.
She had just witnessed Link's smoothing of Snape's deeds in a few words.
This made her unable to accept it for a while.
She knew how bad Snape's character was.
