Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 178 Meeting Professor Luping by chance
"I'm not interested in the person you're looking for. Of course, it's still the same. If you need anything else, I saw that you helped me with magic when you were in school. I can give you some help. .”

"That's it, Mr. Azar."

After Brie finished speaking, he walked around Azar.

"Brie, that's..." Draco said next to Bree, but Bree quickly stopped him and said: "I know it's Voldemort, so I don't want to get involved. Of course, Azar doesn't know yet. , maybe you can remind him."

Bree didn't want to get more entangled in the matter between Tom and Azar, and she didn't want Azar to continue to explore it.

Draco hesitated after hearing Bree's words. He had seen the name Tom Riddle in his father's study, and his father had warned him to stay away from this name and not try to understand him.

"I will talk to Azar, but are you sure that arrogant guy will not explore it just because it is Voldemort? He is not a native British man, and he does not have much fear of Voldemort."

The story of Voldemort is spread among British pure-blood families and does not have much impact on the wizarding world in foreign lands. Just like during the Grindelwald Rebellion, Grindelwald did not invade Britain because of Dumbledore's existence. , British wizards don't have much fear of Grindelwald. Even Dumbledore, who defeated Grindelwald, they only respect and have no fear. You must know that internationally, Dumbledore's reputation is much stronger than that in the UK. .

"..." Brie thought about it carefully and said with a headache: "Then leave him alone. Is it possible that he can still kill Voldemort to take revenge?"

Bree and Draco quickly dropped the subject as they sat at the dining room table, watching the food appear.

A few days later, the cold wind hit, and it was getting closer and closer to Christmas. Winter in Britain is always so sudden, and it gets cold in an instant.

The heavy snow is misty, and from a distance, Hogwarts is covered in silver. The little wizards are wearing thick cloaks and walking through the corridors of Hogwarts Castle, which adds vitality to the deserted castle.

"Oh, would you like a cup of hot cocoa, Brie."

Professor McGonagall, who had just returned from the castle, had a trace of anger on her face, but it subsided when she saw Bree. She could not bring the troubles caused by the Ministry of Magic to the little wizard.

"Professor McGonagall, are you out?"

It was already afternoon, and the cold sun in the distance was slowly setting in the heavy snow in the sky. Professor McGonagall's collar was covered with snowflakes, thinking that she was a little dusty.

"Perhaps you are the one who needs hot cocoa, Professor. I have an appointment and I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

Bree smiled softly.

dating?

Professor McGonagall's eyes changed and became serious.

"I think you are only 13 years old, Bree. Of course, I am not against falling in love, but you must control it well. A lifelong love will help you..."

"Professor?" Bree became a little stunned after listening to Professor McGonagall's words. This was not what he meant.

"I am not in love. Although I am with a lovely lady, we are just friends. We are studying a magic. You misunderstood."

"Really?" Professor McGonagall's face was a little shocked, and she said with a smile: "I hope I didn't misunderstand now. You can't always be soaked in magic."

Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall sighed when he saw that Bree had become a slender and tall boy, "In a blink of an eye, it will be a new year again, and the little furry child has gradually grown up. It's really incredible." I dare to believe it.”

Professor McGonagall wanted to touch Bree's head, but she no longer needed to lean over. She looked straight at Bree and said, "Go and do your own thing. I'll go find Dumbledore first. We can't Let the children be locked up in Hogwarts all the time. You should be released to Hogsmeade on Halloween, just because of Black and those Aurors. It's really, ugh..."

Professor McGonagall hurriedly walked upstairs. It seemed that her suppressed bad mood had burst out again. Perhaps Dumbledore would look embarrassed for a while.

Bree could only wish Dumbledore could endure Professor McGonagall's nagging...

After walking out of Hogwarts, I left footprints on the open snow. Soon, the two footprints merged together and headed towards the Whomping Willow. In the middle of the way, one of the smaller footprints happened. Change.

"Yana, come and let me carry you."

Brie picked up Yana who turned into a wolf cub on the snow and said: "Tonight is a full moon, I actually forgot."

Speaking of this, Bree thought of Lupine. He asked Peter some questions in the past few days. Although he didn't know much about Voldemort, he did know a lot about the people of Peter's time.

For example, when Snape was in school, he was a sloppy kid who was extremely unsociable. His greasy long hair was exactly the same as it is now. He was from the Muggle world... a mixed-blood. He was always bullied in Slytherin. If he hadn't been The blood relationship of the Linsi family may have been thrown out long ago.

And... Snape likes Lily Evans. I heard that the two of them are Muggle wizards from the same place. They have known each other since they were young. It can be said that they are childhood friends?
But James Potter fell in love with Lily Evans, so he teamed up with Black to often bully Snape, and even used the magic spell invented by Snape to hang Snape upside down and expose his underwear in public. It's so humiliating.

And it was because of this incident that Snape angrily said the word mudblood to Lily Evans, causing Lily Evans, who had always supported Snape, to drift away from Snape... Finally, Lily Evans became Lily Potter.

"Poor Snape, that magic spell is the fuchsia, right? No wonder, I saw the process of inventing the fuchsia in the potion notes Snape gave me."

"Snape shared this curse with Lily at the time, but Lily told Potter and the others... the curse has also been passed down. This is how George and Fred got it."

Perhaps Potter or Black compiled the prank magic into a book and left it in Gryffindor.

"It's simply worse than George and Fred."

Bree shook her head and stopped thinking about it. This was already a thing of the past. Although Snape seemed to care about it, Bree couldn't do anything. After all, Lily Evans and James Potter All dead.

And Blake?

"This big black dog needs to suffer a lot. No wonder Snape is so persistent in catching him, but I can't swallow this breath."

"A father's debt must be paid by his son. I feel pity for Harry. He is James Potter's child and Sirius Black's godson..."

In the midst of sighing, Bree had already carried Yana to the Whomping Willow. With Bree's affinity, this non-evil Whomping Willow obediently let Bree enter the tree hole. The tree hole was in a mess, but There were obvious signs of someone coming.

"I spent the full moon here last year, but this semester I turned into a wolf in the dormitory. I lied to them that I was practicing transformation."

Yana explained, then she shrugged the tip of her nose and immediately stopped Bree who continued to walk inside.

"Wait Brie, there's something, I feel like there's someone inside?"

"Who, man, would be here at this hour, Lupin?"

Yes, there is no one but Lupine, but Bree didn't expect that Lupine would choose to spend the full moon night here.

"It's a werewolf, Bree, I can feel it."

Yana stared intently at the tunnel leading deeper under the tree hole.

"I didn't go in completely at the time, and I didn't know what was going on inside... Let's take the wolf hair and leave."

Bree heard what Yana said and thought about it. Snape developed the wolfsbane potion, but he didn't know the effect. If it was completely effective, maybe Lupine wouldn't come here, so... let's go?

Bree didn't want to fight here and attract some people's attention. Don't become a target of the Ministry of Magic, otherwise he would be upset to death.

"Ow!"

too late.

At this time, roars could be heard in the cave.

"It seems that our Professor Lupine didn't expect anyone to come here, so he stayed nearby."

Brie shrugged, tried his best to smile, and then stared at the dark cave in front of him. A stream of magic power surged out of his hand. The wind around him was rustling. With the wind, seeds flew to the ground and took root.

The water brought from the ground by the roots of the tree began to seep out, falling drop by drop, spreading on the ground, covering it with a layer of frost.

"Brie, I can suppress werewolves." Yana said suddenly, she said: "This is the secret of Moon Wolf, it can temporarily suppress the blood of werewolves."

Yana didn't elaborate, and Bree didn't delve into it. He nodded.

Until a huge wolf's foot stepped out of the darkness, its tall and sharp nose poked out from the darkness, and its blood-red and violent eyes stared at Bree.

"Ow!"

The werewolf transformed by Lupine walked upright, his huge fangs covered with saliva. He twitched the tip of his nose, jumped up, and rushed towards Bree.

"Ow!"

At this moment, Yana raised her head and roared, and a power that Bree couldn't feel enveloped Lupine. Fear flashed in Lupine's eyes for a moment, but was soon suppressed by the violence brought by the full moon, and continued He rushed towards Brie, but this time, his skills became much heavier. It was obvious that Yana's suppression was still very effective.

"Whoosh!"

Bree stepped back on her toes, causing Lupine to jump into the air. The tender grass on the ground suddenly surged up and wrapped around Lupine's hind legs and waist like ropes, pulling him back.

Lupine used his claws to tear, but then, the frost on the ground spread, spreading along his thighs, freezing Lupine. Due to the suppression of Yana's blood, Lupine lost his strength and could only let Bree do what he did. .

"Stop."

Following Bree's thoughts, the frost stopped at Lupin's knees, and the vines only wrapped around his hands and mouth, sliding around his neck.

"So weak?"

Bree heard that Lupine had been traveling for more than ten years, and thought that Lupine had some great strength. At least he should not be weaker than Snape, but obviously... Lupine, who had suppressed the werewolf blood, and Nothing to be alarmed about.

"Ow!"

Lupine kept shaking until an empty bottle fell from him, which made Bree interested.

With a flying spell, Bree took the bottle and looked at it carefully.

"This is the potion, Snape's."

"It should be the wolfsbane potion, but unfortunately it's obviously ineffective."

Bree looked at Lupine's condition and said with some pity: "They are all very precious materials. It's a waste... just tie them up."

"Yana, where is the wolf fur?"

"Behind the roots over there."

Following Yana's guidance, Bree took out the wolf fur wrapped in wide leaves behind the root of the tree, opened the leaves, and the white wolf fur was very conspicuous.

"Isn't your fur black?"

Bree looked at the little wolf cub in her arms and wondered, "Can it still fade?"

"..." Yana lowered her wolf head and was silent for a long time. It wasn't until Bree was about to go back that she said angrily: "My fur is white, but it is suppressed by magic. The fur I shed is not Without my suppression, it will return to its original state."

"Oh, sorry, that's what it is."

Bree put away the wolf fur, while on the other side, Professor Lupine, who had turned into a werewolf, was slowly changing back to his human form. The wolf fur on his body kept fading away, and human skin was exposed under the ragged robe.

"You, you, I didn't do anything to you, right?"

Only then did Professor Lu Ping realize that he was tied up by vines. He was surprised and said, "What am I?"

"Professor?" Why are you awake at this time?

Brie was about to run away, but she didn't expect Lupine to wake up at this time. Wasn't this giving Brie something to do? Now Lupine would probably keep an eye on him even more closely. Before, Lupine had treated him very strangely. As students with special care.

"The bottle in your hand belongs to me, Mr. Oded." Professor Lupine saw that there was nothing unusual about Bree and immediately guessed what happened. But this was incredible. A third-grade wizard could actually defeat a strong man. The werewolf?

"Well, he dropped it from your body by himself. It's Wolfsbane potion, right? I know Professor Snape developed this potion."

Now that he has been exposed in front of Professor Lupin, Bree has nothing to hide.

"..." Lupine was silent for a moment, and he realized that Bree seemed to know too much.

"You are an excellent little wizard."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Bree controlled the blades of grass and frost that bound Luna, and slowly turned into brilliance and dissipated, untying Lupine.

"Thank you, cough." Lu Ping coughed a few times, tightened the wizard robe that was torn due to turning into a werewolf, and explained in a low voice: "The effect of the medicine does not come so quickly, there will be a period of buffering, this period I still have to spend time alone to avoid being stimulated by the outside world and turning into a werewolf."

"But this is already outstanding. Snape's research on potions is amazing."

Bree was a little surprised that Lupine was actually praising Snape. Maybe he heard it wrong.

Seeing Bree's expression, Professor Lupine shook his head and sighed: "His targeting was correct. We really couldn't deal with him back then. What Black and James did was out of malice and unfair, but... forget it. , it’s all in the past, I tell you you don’t know what happened.”

Professor Lupine usually talks very little, but it seems that because Bree already knows his secret, he starts to say things to Bree that don't need to be hidden.

"I hope you can hide the fact that I am a werewolf for a while. Principal Dumbledore knows about it and allows me to teach at Hogwarts. My purpose is to find Black and prevent him from attacking Harry..."

Speaking of Black, Lupine frowned. In fact, he didn't believe what Black had done, but the facts were before him. Others had said so many things that he could only cautiously say that he believed he was a sinner, in order to express his confidence. Looking for opportunities secretly.

"Okay, I won't tell what happened today, but the professor has to promise not to tell anything about what happened today."

"Then... keep your promise, Ode."

"Of course, Professor, since Dumbledore allows it, I am willing to believe you this time."
