not to mention……

Lupin doesn't seem as reliable as Lockhart.

At least Lockhart packaged himself like a wizard, while Lupin's robes were still patched.

Use a repair spell. Is that difficult?

"Look at the look in Professor Snape's eyes." Ron tugged at Harry's sleeve, as if he had discovered some important secret.

"He's my father's friend." Harry said briefly, "He must have beaten up Professor Snape when he was in school."

Ron was stunned and pursed his lips.

like……

Makes sense?

Lu Ping sat back with a calm expression. He seemed to be used to being treated coldly.

Dumbledore continued the introductions: "Let us welcome the second professor."

"I regretfully have to inform you that Professor Kettle Burn has handed in his resignation. You have to understand that for someone who loves magical creatures, he can no longer stand the torment."

The senior students burst into laughter.

The lower grade students are confused and can’t quite understand.

"The professor who will take over the Care of Magical Creatures course is Rubeus Hagrid. He has agreed to teach this course in addition to his duties as the guardian of the Forbidden Forest."

The students hesitated, and for a moment no one applauded.

Harry took the lead and clapped.

He had great faith in Hagrid's knowledge of magical creatures, and when he occasionally chatted with Hagrid, his insights on magical creatures would sometimes open his eyes.

With him taking the lead, the Gryffindor table erupted in extremely enthusiastic applause.

The little badgers were delighted.

The little eagles don't want to be special either.

Only the Slytherins came, reluctantly and sparsely.

Hagrid gave Harry a grateful look, his face hidden in his beard, smiling brightly.

"I should have known." Ron clapped his hands and sighed, "Only Hagrid would let us buy a book that bites people."

"I think Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them might be better," Hermione said, a little worriedly. "Not every young wizard can figure out how to tame that book."

Ron was stunned, a little surprised: "Tamed? That book can be tamed?"

"You didn't notice?" Hermione was also surprised.

This is the third best student in the second grade.

Ron blushed. "I just tied it up with a Transfiguration spell."

"Me too." Harry nodded.

Ron immediately felt relieved.

Even Harry didn't post...

"The spine is its weak point," Harry said immediately.

"You...you knew?" Ron stammered.

Harry nodded.

Ron was puzzled: "Then why do you want to be like me."

"I use it to entertain Hedwig occasionally," Harry replied softly. "It didn't deliver many letters this summer, and Aunt Petunia made delicious food for it all day long, so it gained a lot of weight."

"If you get any fatter, you won't be able to fly."

Hermione suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt so heavy when Hedwig fell on my head that day."

Dumbledore waved his wand and food appeared on the long table.

Harry and his friends had a full meal.

The Sorting Hat enjoyed Crookshanks's full affection.

Wait until after dinner.

Hermione was holding Crookshanks, and Crookshanks was biting the Sorting Hat tightly, seeming reluctant to part with this new toy.

"Let go, I'm going to need it tonight." Harry poked his finger on its head.

Crookshanks was very well behaved and opened his mouth.

Hermione was a little jealous: "It really listens to you."

"It's afraid of me." Harry stroked its head and pulled its ears. "It's very smart."

Crookshanks barked coquettishly, but there was no trace of affectation in his voice.

"Be careful." Hermione reminded him, "If you are not back by midnight, I will go to find Professor McGonagall."

Harry nodded: "Don't worry, if I can't come back by then, I will use the Patronus to send you a message."

"If not, tell Professor Mai..."

suddenly.

The amulet vibrated violently again.

He raised his head and looked around. Lupin was talking to Professor McGonagall. Snape didn't look at him, but stared at Lupin.

There was hatred, resentment, and a hint of worry in his eyes.

Harry thought about it.

It seems... Lupin should know about his mother's affair?

He continued to look at other people. Malfoy had a gloomy face and was walking with several senior students, not looking at him.

Instead, there were little witches from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor who were staring at her. When they noticed her gaze, they blushed and lowered their heads shyly.

It doesn't look like there's any malicious intent.

Who does the malice come from?

Harry frowned and parted ways with Hermione and the others on the third floor and walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. After getting away from the crowd, the amulet stopped vibrating.

This made him stop.

Apart from Hermione and Ron, there were less than ten Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students walking with him just now. Did the malice come from those strangers?

If it had come from Hufflepuff he would have understood.

After all, at the end of last semester, he had been forced to snatch their house cup with Dumbledore's "help".

Boom boom boom——

Harry knocked on the door and almost a second later Lupin opened it.

The amulet has no vibration.

"Harry, you're here." Lupin welcomed him in.

Harry didn't rush in. He waved his wand, and his robe turned into a little deer. It hopped in and out again. After making sure there was no trap, he went in.

"It would be great if James could be as cautious as you." Lupin sighed, "He is as reckless as Sirius."

"That's what I guessed." Harry nodded. "It takes a lot of courage to be friends with a werewolf."

Lupin shook his head: "James is bolder than you think. He dared to accompany me to transform on a full moon night."

Harry was stunned, tilted his head back, and touched his body: "I'm sure I don't have a werewolf curse."

"I haven't bitten anyone." Lupin moved two stools over. "If I had, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have hired me."

Harry sat down: "Let's continue the topic we talked about on the train."

"How do you think Sirius escaped from Azkaban?"

Lupin also sat down and chose his words carefully: "Do you know Animagus?"

"Professor McGonagall has given me several of Dad's Transfiguration notebooks," Harry replied, "I'm going to try Animagus this year."

Lupin opened his mouth, a little surprised: "You are as good as your father, but he is different from you. He didn't ask the professor for advice, and rashly tried Animagus with Sirius and Peter."

"It was reckless, but luckily, they all succeeded."

"them."

Harry got to the point. "So Sirius used the Animagus to escape Azkaban?"

The amulet still didn't vibrate.
