Chapter 1474 Inheritance of Prejudice

But judging from the photos Ivan received, Gabriel is actually about the same size as Elaine...

Based on this inference, Fu Rong's statement should be untenable, because Elaine is definitely not a mature girl.

In addition, Fleur also told them that Gabriel wanted to apply to study at Hogwarts as an exchange student.

But given the current situation, her application was ultimately dropped.

Because Fleur's voice was too loud, Mrs. Weasley gave her a disapproving look.

Frowning, she kept adjusting the volume with her wand, making Celestina sing louder and louder.

"Oh, come and stir my pot of soup."

"If you do it right, I will make a fiery love and accompany you warmly tonight."

Under the cover of a particularly jazzy tune "A Pot of Hot Love", Fred, George, Ginny, and Elaine played crackling and exploding cards behind the Christmas tree, with constant explosions; Harry, Ron Discussing something at the dinner table with Mr. Weasley, it seemed to be about Muggle radio and television.

And Lupine, he's at the Burrow for Christmas too.

Not seeing him for several months, he looked particularly haggard.

Lupine sat by the fireplace, staring into the depths of the fire, thinking about something, as if he couldn't hear Celestina's voice.

Ivan looked towards Lupin, talked to Hermione, Bill, and Fleur, and came to Lupin's side.

"You look really ugly." Ivan said.

"Yeah, that sucks. You know, I work underground, I can hardly see the sun, and I can't communicate with other people. It will be exposed. I can only sneak out at this time." Lupine smiled Said, but it made him look even more gaunt, with deep shadows under his eyes, a malnourished look.

Ivan knew that Lupine was mixing among the werewolves and acting as a spy for the Order of the Phoenix.

The work is dangerous and, at the same time, hard work.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask, "How is it going?"

"No progress, it's hard to gain their trust. I bear the unmistakable mark of having lived among wizards who shun normal society, living on the fringes of the wizarding world, stealing, eating, and sometimes killing. I saw A few times," Lupine said, "but I got some useful information, you went to the underground world of Knockturn Alley three months ago, didn't you?"

"We were following Malfoy and met Greyback there, did he recognize us?"

"I don't think so, he just thought it was a few lost Hogwarts students, but I knew it was you as soon as I heard it." Lupine said, "Listen, Ivan, I know your strength, but you shouldn't Risky, especially when Harry..."

"I don't need to be looked after, I'm not a child anymore," said Harry, tilting his head this way, joining in the conversation between the two, "Malfoy is really suspicious, Remus, we can be sure now , he is a Death Eater, Voldemort has given him a mission, what he must be planning to do..."

He recounted what he had overheard last night and looked at Lupine expectantly.

Lupine was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you tell Dumbledore?"

"Say it, but Dumbledore told me to leave it alone." Harry said gloomily, "Malfoy and Snape are plotting something right under our noses, but Dumbledore doesn't think it's important."

"The principal has his own plans." Ivan comforted him.

"Yes, but he won't say anything."

"I think that since Dumbledore didn't say anything, it might really not be important, or he didn't think it was time to say anything." Lupine said, "I don't know Draco Malfoy very well, but about Severus, I trust him. I know you don't like to hear that, Harry, but Dumbledore trusts Severus, and that should be enough for us, if you trust Dumbledore's judgment, Then trust Severus."

"But Dumbledore can make mistakes..." Harry argued.

"You are determined to hate Severus, Harry, just as you are determined to hate Draco." Lupine smiled feebly, "I understand, James is your father, Sirius is your godfather, they Having had so many unpleasant things with Severus, you have inherited a prejudice from them. But the truth may not be as you guessed, maybe Dumbledore ordered Severus to ask Draco Yes, maybe Draco couldn't help himself to do something for Voldemort. That's why Dumbledore wasn't so surprised by what you said, and told you to leave it alone."

Harry stopped talking. It had to be said that Lupine was still very rational, much more rational than Sirius.

"Stop talking about it, what's going on with you and Tonks?"

"I have nothing to do with her." There was a trace of panic on Lupine's face, and he was not as confident as before.

"Nothing?" Ivan said, "She looks as haggard as you now."

"She, I just..." Lupine was silent for a while, "Is she all right?"

"I don't know, you should ask her." Ivan said, "I don't think she cares about your identity as a werewolf."

Lupine looked at him in surprise, "You know it all? Yes, I am a werewolf, which is a cursed identity. When I transform, I can't guarantee how much sanity I have left, so , so, I can't..."

"We all think you're normal, no different from anyone else, and Tonks thinks the same way."

Lupine shook his head stubbornly, just as he had just said to Harry. Harry inherited a prejudice from his father James and Sirius, which made him determined to hate Snape; Lupine is also like this, his werewolf identity made him inherit a prejudice and inferiority complex, Make him hide from Tonks.

Only he can figure out this kind of thing, and no one else can help him.

On Christmas Eve, it is really inappropriate to bring up two unpleasant subjects in succession.

At this time, Celestina ended her singing with a long high note.

"Now that you have torn it, give me my heart back!"

Loud applause came from the radio, and Mrs Weasley clapped excitedly too.

"It's over?" said Fleur aloud. "Thank God, it's ugly!"

Hermione stuck out her tongue and sat next to Ivan, thankful to get rid of Fleur.

Fred, George, Ginny, and Elaine also just finished a round of crackling and exploding cards, and when they noticed the sudden silence, Mr. Weasley jumped up and asked loudly, "How about a drink before going to bed? Who wants that?" Eggnog?"

"I'll get it, darling," said Mrs. Weasley.

While she went to get her eggnog, the others stretched and chatted.

Hermione took the opportunity to ask Mr. Weasley about the recent actions in the department, and everyone was very concerned about this.

"I'm very busy now. Scrimgeour hopes to effectively stop the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters, but we can't find anyone at all. They seem to hide and come out to attack from time to time. There is no progress at all. In fact, if this That's all, but of the three people arrested in the past two months, I suspect that none of them are real Death Eaters." He had just finished speaking, and immediately added, "Don't talk about it, children, this is classified. "
