Wentworth stared at Lupin blankly and didn't even hear what Lupin said afterwards.

"Wentworth, what's wrong with you?"

Although Lupin did not notice Wentworth's abnormality, Cedric noticed that his friend, who he spent every day with, was unnatural for a moment, so he quickly asked.

At this time, Wentworth gradually reacted and realized that he was too suspicious. Even Dumbledore didn't discover his secret, and Wentworth didn't believe that Lupin could discover it.

So Wentworth had to force a smile and said, "Nothing, I just didn't expect that I'm so talented!"

Although Cedric felt that Wentworth was a little strange just now, when he heard Wentworth say this, Cedric nodded and agreed:

"Of course, your talent is beyond doubt."

Even Lupin spoke up: "I have heard about you from Dumbledore. As a wizard with a powerful gift of prophecy, it is not surprising that your soul strength is higher than other wizards."

After hearing what Lupin said, Wentworth finally breathed a sigh of relief and put aside the doubts in his heart.

Lupin then began to teach Wentworth and Cedric about the Hexstop spell.

At noon, Wentworth suggested that the three of them go to Hogsmeade village together, find a bar or restaurant to have a good meal, and he would treat everyone.

But Lupin smiled and firmly rejected this proposal.

"I'm sorry, Wentworth. I promised Dumbledore that you can only learn magic from me here and you can't go anywhere else. You should know that only Hogwarts students in the third year and above can go to Hogsmeade village."

"Wait for me here for a while. I'll go buy you some food. Even though it may not be rich, it will at least fill you up. How can a teacher let a student pay for this first meeting?"

Lupin said with a smile and walked out of the Shrieking Shack.

"Mr. Lupin, you probably aren't rich."

After Lupin left, Cedric came up to Wentworth and said.

Wentworth nodded and said with some emotion:

"Yes, it's not just poor, it's downright destitute!"

Cedric said in confusion, "That doesn't make sense. Every wizard who graduates from Hogwarts should be able to find a good and respectable job in the wizarding world. Of course, except for those who like freedom."

Hearing Cedric's doubts, Wentworth looked at him strangely and said, "Why, have you forgotten? His identity as a werewolf! Your reaction when you first heard that he was a werewolf is the reason why he is so poor."

Hearing Wentworth's words, Cedric was stunned for a moment. After a moment, Cedric smiled bitterly and said:

"Well, I did forget he was a werewolf."

After just one morning of study, Lupin had left a deep impression on Cedric. Perhaps Lupin was not the top wizard in the current wizarding world, but for Wentworth and Cedric, Lupin's magic was enough for just the two of them.

Moreover, when Lupin was explaining spells, he was very careful and explained them in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Although Halt and Crypt was just a simple spell, the fact that he was able to explain it so clearly showed that Lupin was a very good teacher.

While the two were talking, Lupin had returned to the Shrieking Shack, holding a paper bag in his hand.

When I opened it, I saw several sandwiches neatly arranged inside.

"I'm sorry, I can only afford..."

Before Lupin could finish his words, Wentworth took the lead, reached out and took a sandwich and put it in his mouth. Then, he took out another sandwich and stuffed it into Cedric's mouth.

"Thank you, Mr. Lupin. I'm starving! Mmm! This sandwich is delicious!"

Wentworth spoke incoherently with his mouth full of food.

Cedric was stunned for a moment, then started eating with big mouthfuls, and gave Lupin a thumbs up while eating.

Seeing this, Lupin was stunned at first, then he chuckled and picked up a sandwich and started eating. The three of them chatted while eating the sandwiches.

Wentworth asked casually as he took a bite of his sandwich.

Hearing Wentworth's question, Lupin explained:

"Because Hogwarts school rules stipulate that only Hogwarts students in the third year and above can go there."

Having said that, Lupin paused, and then continued:

"Of course, I have violated school rules before. The main reason is that the British wizarding world is a little uneasy right now, and Hogsmeade is full of wizards, a mixed bag. It is also very close to Hogwarts, so many wizards have been hiding there recently."

Hearing Lupin's words, Wentworth and Cedric were both stunned.

"Not too peaceful?"

"Come in hiding?"

They both noticed Lupin's choice of words, which seemed to imply that something had happened that they were unaware of.

Seeing this, Lupin thought for a moment and explained:

"That's right, because there is a rumor circulating outside. Not long ago, people from the Ministry of Magic found several boxes at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic. After opening them, they found that these boxes, which were cast with the Traceless Retraction Charm, were full of corpses of wizards."

Having said this, Lupin glanced at Wentworth inadvertently.

But Wentworth and Cedric were so shocked that they didn't notice.

Wentworth said in disbelief, "Isn't that possible? If something like this really happened, why wouldn't there be any report in the Daily Prophet?"

Lupin explained:

"Of course the Ministry of Magic will not allow such a thing to appear in the Daily Prophet. After all, this is a provocation and humiliation to the Ministry of Magic. Fudge has just taken office and he will not allow such a thing to appear in the newspaper."

Cedric on the side also continued:

"My father didn't tell me such news in his letter!"

Lupin continued to explain patiently: "I think this may be because the Ministry of Magic has issued a gag order! Besides, you are in Hogwarts now, so your father doesn't need to tell you about this."

After hearing Lupin's explanation, Cedric nodded slowly, his face full of worry, but this worry was not for himself, but for his father who was working in the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Lupin, do you know who died?"

Wentworth asked curiously.

Lupin looked into Wentworth's eyes and said slowly:

"It is said that these are the wizard hunters who attacked Dumbledore and you not long ago!"

"What?!"

Wentworth looked shocked.

Ahem, I'm really sorry. Mo Xiang made a mistake earlier. I had discussed with the editor about putting the book on the shelves today, so I wrote the thanks for the release in advance.

But!!! I never expected that it would be recommended on the homepage of Qidian next week, so the release has to be postponed temporarily. I hope it won’t cause any trouble to readers!

Since the author has said so, let's also ask for votes! The Spring Festival holiday is not over yet, have you all visited your relatives yet? Are you tired? If you are tired, come and read the novel to take a break, and vote for it!
