Hogwarts: The frog cub brings back the Dragon Slayer Crystal at the beginning

Looking at the handsome blonde wizard in front of him, Lupin remembered what Sirius had said to him that night.

"He has a way of removing the werewolf curse from you..."

That night, Lupin was completely stunned when he heard this.

He knew Sirius wasn't going to lie to himself.

But—with Sirius' hesitant expression, he said what the deal was asking for.

Let him take a trip to Tumbledown Alley during his holidays and find a Slytherin wizard named Tom, who will join the organization if nothing else.

This is the trade requirement that wants to lift the curse of the werewolf.

Tom of Tumbledown Alley...

Lupin subconsciously remembered the group of dark wizards who appeared frequently in the daily newspapers, and they lived in the depths of Tumbledown Alley.

Could Sirius be talking about that organization...

"Professor Lupin?"

Hermione looked at Professor Lupin, who was stunned, and called out to him in confusion.

Obviously, he was still popularizing science just now, why was he suddenly stunned?

"Ahh

After coming to his senses, Professor Lupin hurriedly chuckled and complimented, and he pressed his hand to let the little witch sit down first.

Then he turned his gaze back to the huge glass box behind him.

The green-covered Grindillo was constantly scratching the glass with its sharp claws, as if trying to escape.

But it is clear that this tank is also specially made, and it is not at all something that can be destroyed by claws.

Towards the end of class, Lupin looked up at Lorne, who was about to go to the library with Hermione.

"That's... Mr. Geralt, do you have time to come to my office after class?"

After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a somewhat complicated tone.

After hearing Lupin's words, the corners of Lorne's mouth, which had already turned around, slowly raised.

He was waiting for that sentence now.

"Of course there's time, Professor!"

Lorne touched the girl's brown curls and whispered.

"You go to the library first, and I'll look for you later if I have time. "

"Uh-huh!"

Hermione smiled and nodded, her curly brown hair tied in a high ponytail swaying, a thick scent of roses tickling his nose.

Well... Looks like I got a new shampoo last night.

He looked at the little witch who had left, and couldn't help but think.

Inside the Defence Against the Dark Arts office.

This office is still the same as the Lockhart from last semester, but the interior decoration style has changed greatly.

Lockhart's portraits and all sorts of ornate objects have been replaced by some unpretentious clothes and books, and at first glance he looks much poorer.

As the office door closed with the wave of a wand.

Lorne's pale blue eyes looked at Lupin, who was wearing a white trench coat in front of him.

He could tell that there was something strange about Lupin in front of him.

It seems that Sirius did tell him about it.

"Mr. Geralt, I heard Sirius say you can cure the werewolf's curse?"

Lupin turned his head with a complicated gaze and said with a slight trembling.

"I do, Professor Lupin. "

Lorne nodded.

"Sirius, though, should have told you that if you want to get rid of the werewolf curse, you have to agree to another condition. "

There was no hint of concealment in his tone, after all, he allowed Lupin to know about the existence of the horse charm.

After hearing the answer he wanted in his heart, Lupin couldn't help but cover his arm with his hand, and under the white sleeves was the scar on his arm.

The scars were all left of him after he became a werewolf.

Because he couldn't control his beastly mind at all—and it all started with the curse of the werewolves!

Every full moon night, I would hide under my desk in fear to avoid the bright moonlight.

Lupin didn't know how long it had been since he had seen a full moon.

The originally holy moonlight became the most terrible thing in the world in his cognition.

And now, the blonde wizard in front of him, actually said that he could completely remove the werewolf curse...

Lupin held back his excitement, his lips trembling up and down and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Or rather, he didn't know what to say.

Because that meant he agreed to the request to join Tumbledown Alley.

"Professor Lupin, you should know that there are a lot of homeless werewolves in Tumbledown Alley, right?"

Lorne looked at Lupin, who was trembling with excitement in front of him, and took a slow step forward.

In his hand, he had already taken the horse charm from his chest, and the charm was shining with a white light, giving people a very warm feeling.

The werewolves of Tumbledown Alley...

Lupin nodded.

Of course he knew about the werewolves in Tumbledown Alley, a group that wizards hated - not as approved by Dumbledore as he was, and who could teach at Hogwarts.

Werewolves like himself are still a minority after all.

"Those werewolves—oh, maybe call them wizards, the werewolf curse on them is gone. "

"And the price is just to join Tom's organization. "

Lorne raised the corners of his mouth and whispered.

"Did your organization do the attack on Malfoy Manor in the first place?"

Lupin seemed to remember something and asked.

"If nothing else, they should have done it—under Sirius's guidance, so to speak. "

"Sirius joined that organization, too..."

Lupin looked at the blonde wizard in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression.

He really didn't expect that Geralt, who was known as the genius of the Snake Academy, would actually be a member of the Dark Wizard Organization.

Remembering the impression of meeting Geralt for the first time on the train, the little witch who was elegant, gentle, and also knew how to protect Gryffindor was not at all the image of Slytherin.

Now Lupin somewhat understood why the mild-mannered blonde wizard had been assigned to Slytherin.

Compared to Geralt, the other little snakes are really not worth mentioning.

"So what are you thinking about?" Lorne tossed the horse charm in his hand, looked at Lupin with a pair of pale blue eyes, and said, "Professor Lupin?"

“... Deal!"

Lupin said through gritted teeth after a moment of silence.

"Happy trading, Professor Lupin. "
