Chapter 283 I Shouldn’t Be This Professor!

Woo woo

The loud whistle echoed in Ivan's ears, and accompanied by a tremor, the train slowly moved forward.

Ivan was flipping through the book to himself. The carriage was very quiet. If it weren't for the inconvenience of brewing the potion here, he would have taken out the crucible in the suitcase.

After a while, there was a conversation outside the door, and the next moment the door to the compartment was pushed open.

"Ivan?" The little brown-haired witch came in with a willow basket in her hand, and there were faint sounds of light and snoring inside.

Ivan turned his head, and Hermione, Ron and Harry came in.

The three of them quickly squeezed in and closed the sliding door.

There was quite a lot of space in the carriage, and with Lupin curled up in the corner, there was no problem in seating three more people.

Hermione sat down on the empty seat next to Ivan, while Ron and Harry sat down on the other side, curiously looking at Lupine who was sleeping in the corner.

"Who is he?" Ron asked looking at Lupine who was wearing a patchwork robe.

"The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is asleep. You'd better keep your voice down." Ivan reminded.

However, Ron had a look on his face. His expression became serious, and he leaned closer to signal everyone to come closer. He looked at Lupine carefully, and finally spoke softly.

"Have you confirmed Ivan just now? Is he not a dark wizard or a liar?"

Ron's words made Ivan stunned, and his expression became a little weird.

"Ron, how could you say that?" Hermione scolded angrily.

"I'm just asking. It's not like you don't know the situation in the past few semesters," Ron said nonchalantly, and then defended.

"Professor Kino from the year before last was a dark wizard related to a mysterious person, and Lockhart last year was a bumbling liar. He also attacked so many people in the school. Thanks to Ivan, we were able to find them out."

"Before getting in the car, George and Fred were both guessing whether the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would be able to last for a few months this time."

Ron whispered, but did not notice that Lupine, who was curled up in the corner, was shaking.

The sound of Harry and others pushing the door and talking just now woke up Lupine who had just fallen asleep.

However, because he was too sleepy, Lupine did not get up to say hello to Harry and the others, but instead prepared to continue sleeping for a while.

However, he never expected that he would overhear such news.

Lu Ping didn't dare to open his eyes or move, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Originally, Ivan had a good impression on him. He did not discriminate against werewolf wizards and was the son of a comrade. Lupine also thought that he could have more contact with him in the future, but now Ivan has become someone he cannot avoid.

When Dumbledore invited him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he never mentioned this kind of thing to him.

Lu Ping couldn't help but wonder if he shouldn't be the professor. Is it too late to get off the train now?

Ivan, who was flipping through the potions book, didn't know that Lupine, who he had finally gained some affection for, was now avoiding him.

After Ron complained, he stopped mentioning the miserable experiences of the previous professors, and instead told the three of them interesting things that happened when their family was traveling in Egypt.

Ron's pet rat Scabbers got into Ron's pocket the moment he entered the carriage and refused to come out again.

Ivan has also been paying attention to Banban's weird behavior.

At first Ivan thought he had been exposed somewhere, and was hesitating whether to lock up Ban Ban to prevent him from escaping, but then he realized that Ban Ban was afraid of Lupin.

Since Sirius could recognize Peter in Animagus form in the photo at a glance, Lupine, who is also his friend, should also be able to recognize him.

Of course, maybe add Hermione's new pet, a Persian long-haired cat - Crookshanks!

Ivan looked at the willow basket placed next to the table and chairs, and the spiritual cat was inside.

"Ivan"

Ivan was thinking about something, but his thoughts were interrupted by Hermione's words. When he came back to his thoughts, he saw Hermione looking at him with a look of resentment.

"Hermione, what did you just say? I didn't hear it." Ivan looked confused.

"Obviously you promised to send me a letter before, but I didn't see a letter during the whole summer vacation! You never replied to the letters I sent you," Hermione repeated with some amusement. Before speaking, a pair of brown eyes stared at Ivan.

"Sorry, Hermione, I was busy with other things during the summer vacation, so I forgot for a while." Ivan said apologetically.

Thinking of what happened during the summer vacation, Ivan's face became a little gloomier. He was busy tracking down the attacker at the time, so naturally he had little energy to write or reply to letters.

He even didn't receive a letter from Hermione at all, because the letters were usually sent home.

Only the owl at Hogwarts was a bit special. It came directly to his stronghold. I don't know if Dobby often teleported back and forth between Hogwarts and the temporary stronghold, so his position was exposed.

forgotten?

The little witch's eyes widened, her fair cheeks became puffy,

This is already the second time!

During the summer vacation of the first grade, Ivan was busy developing wolfsbane potion and forgot to send her a letter, so she reminded her before the summer vacation this time. Unexpectedly, Ivan still forgot.

"I heard from George and Fred that they also sent a letter to you, Ivan, during the summer vacation, but they haven't seen your reply for a long time, and they were very anxious. If mother hadn't stopped them, they would have gone to the alley to find you. ." Ron also complained.

Of course, Ron didn't think anything would happen to Ivan. He had never seen Ivan suffer.

Hermione didn't think so. She was keenly aware that Ivan's face didn't look good, and the anger that had been rising had subsided.

Recalling that Ivan had just said that he had other things to be busy with during the summer vacation, the smart little witch was suddenly worried that Ivan would encounter some trouble during the summer vacation.

"Ivan, did something happen to you during the summer vacation?" Hermione asked worriedly.

Harry and Ron were reminded by Hermione and realized that something was wrong with this situation, so they both looked at Ivan.

"No, not really. I just encountered some problems when improving a potion." Ivan rejected Hermione's guess, shook his head, and said again.

"You know, as soon as I start studying, I don't care about other things."

As he spoke, Ivan shook the "How to Improve Magic Potion" in his hand.

Harry and Ron thought of the Wolfsbane potion developed by Ivan and quickly dispelled their doubts. Ron also joked that Ivan might be able to get another Medal of Merlin this year.

"It's impossible for the same person to win two Medals of Merlin, Ron!" Hermione corrected the error in Ron's words, but she was still a little doubtful of Ivan's words.

After all, no matter how busy you are with improving potions, you won’t even have time to reply to a letter.
