Chapter 215 Remus John Lupin

"Professor... Professor Lupin?" Fanlin pretended to know nothing, and he hugged Crookshanks.

"Well..." Professor Lupin was a little flustered. When he really saw his old friend, he found that he was not as calm as he imagined. He should use his wand to subdue Sirius and hand him over to Dumbledore, but...

"What are you doing here?" Lupin said absent-mindedly. Sirius' figure had completely disappeared into the dark Forbidden Forest. It was impossible to chase him now. He knew Sirius's skills and methods.

"I'm looking for it here..." Fanlin lifted Crookshanks up, "My friend's cat ran out. You know, this made her very worried. I thought I could catch it quickly..."

"You shouldn't come out... You should stay in the hall with your friends." Professor Lupin said.

He looked at the Forbidden Forest in the distance again. Fanlin had contact with Sirius, which was obviously unscientific. According to Sirius's character, if he was really the murderer, Fanlin would never be able to stand here well.

Professor Lupin particularly admired Fanlin. Whether it was when Fanlin stood up to protect his friends on the train or in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Fanlin and the very smart little witch named Hermione were always able to answer his questions in the first place.

Moreover, various messages plus the day when Fanlin faced the Boggart, he transformed the girl's body, which not only made Lupin sigh that it was good to be young.

Not surprisingly, this big ginger cat knew who its owner was. Sometimes boys would always do some slightly crazy things for girls.

This reminded him of his good friend Lily and James Potter. Lily was a very smart witch, and Potter was very courageous, and he could always do anything for Lily.

Thinking of this, Lupin couldn't help but examine Fanlin. In terms of strength, Fanlin is much stronger than his friend James, but in terms of loyalty...

Thinking of this, Lupin couldn't help shaking his head. At least since he knew this child, he was extremely confident in Fanlin. He was capable and smart, and he could stand up to protect his friends in dangerous moments.

From the conversation with Harry, he knew that Harry's relationship with Fanlin was not just a good friend, but more of a conviction. In fact, Fanlin helped and protected Harry countless times, whether facing Voldemort or any monster, the experience of life and death would make the friendship between friends unbreakable.

The picture of the four friends back then suddenly popped up in Lupin's mind.

That was when he was first discovered to be a werewolf. Dumbledore made a lot of efforts to admit Lupin to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the most important point was his identity.

Yes, Lupin is a werewolf!

Remus John Lupin, when he was four years old, his father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. In revenge, the werewolf broke into the bedroom through the window and bit him. Lupin became a werewolf from then on. Every full moon night, he was put into the desolate forest. Year after year, day after day, he felt pressure, pain, and loneliness from all aspects.

Lupin was very fortunate that he had a pair of parents who loved him deeply, which made his gray world look not so lonely. His parents tried various ways to save him, but to no avail.

He and his parents thought that he could not go to Hogwarts to study, because other parents would not want their children to be close to a werewolf.

But after Albus Dumbledore became the headmaster, he came up with some ways to allow him to go to Hogwarts to study.

He seemed to see the light. He was eager to live in the sun instead of the dark forest like a normal person. He longed to go to school with a normal identity, learn magic, and then become a wizard like his father.

In order to get Lupin to come to school, Dumbledore ordered a Whomping Willow to be planted in the school grounds. It was used to cover the passage to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade, where he transformed himself every full moon night. This was to ensure the safety of other students and himself.

After he transformed, he was very cruel. The villagers thought that the noise and screams were made by some ferocious ghosts. Dumbledore encouraged people to spread such rumors, so that people stayed away from the Shrieking Shack and ensured the safety of everyone.

Lupin... maybe because of his own conditions... he had no friends until he went to Hogwarts at the age of 11 in 1971. At Hogwarts, he became friends with James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew...

But Lupin was afraid that his friends would abandon him after knowing the truth, so he kept it secret from them. In order to prevent his friends from discovering his secret, Lupin told them that he was going back to visit his sick mother or made up other reasons.

Despite his efforts to conceal it, his friends still guessed the truth, and because Lupin needed to transform on the night of the full moon, several good friends went to learn Animagus. In the fifth year, they learned Animagus so that they could accompany Lupin after he transformed... They eventually discovered everything. Under the influence of his friends, he was rarely as cruel as a wolf, and they also adventured together in Hogsmeade.

Potter and Sirius turned into large animals to scare off the werewolves, so that they could safely venture into Hogsmeade on the night of the full moon.

In fact, the four of them succeeded, three illegal Animagus, James's stag, Sirius's black dog, and Pettigrew's mouse, plus the werewolf Lupin.

They howled and wandered around the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts. They also made a Marauder's Map based on what they found in the Forbidden Forest. In fact, they only modified the Marauder's Map, and they did not have the ability to make it at that time.

However, after that, several people did not go to that place again. It was more like a relic. The darkness and decayed atmosphere resisted any outsiders. If it were not for escaping the pursuit of a bunch of 〔1〕ghouls, they would not have been able to find it, a relic of death.

In fact, there are still many secrets about the Forbidden Forest, some of which even Dumbledore was unwilling to explore. These are obviously not something that a few students can touch.

(〔1〕It is not the kind upstairs in Ron's house. It is a more brutal and irrational dark magic creature. For details, you can refer to the ghouls in World of Warcraft. The one in the original book is too frustrating.) (To be continued)
