There was a knock on the door of Professor Lupin's office, interrupting him from correcting a student's thesis.
"Come in," Lupin said loudly.
The door opened and Snape walked in. He held a slightly smoking beaker in his hand and looked impatient.
"Ah, Severus," Lupin said with a smile. "Thank you very much. Can you put it on the table?"
"There's still some time before the full moon. You have to store it well. I don't want to waste another pot of herbs for you." Snape put down the smoking beaker and dragged out his tone slightly.
"Okay, okay, I'll drink it," Lupin said. "Thank you very much, Severus."
?? "But, Severus," Lupin stopped Snape, who had turned around. He saw Snape's cold eyes and frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "We saw the Umbrella Company's advertisement about the Lily Foundation on TV. Sirius guessed that it was you through their potion products and was very unhappy. He even smashed a tea set because of it. If you leave the Hogwarts, you'd better be careful and try to avoid a furious Sirius. "
"Are you threatening me?" Snape narrowed his eyes and took a few steps forward. He put his hands on the table and leaned over to approach Lupin. "You don't have to worry about my affairs. Take care of yourself. Don't think that you can order me around just because Dumbledore forced me to make you the wolfsbane potion."
After Snape finished speaking, he raised his chin and glanced at Lupin condescendingly. He lifted the curtain and quickly left the room without a smile as if there was something dirty in the room. Lupin's office door was pulled open by him with a bang. It hit the wall and squeaked weakly.
Lupin rushed out of the door to explain that Snape had misunderstood him. He really wanted to remind Snape. Lupin had always felt guilty towards Snape. He didn't agree with James and Sirius bullying Snape, but he really liked James and Sirius and was grateful that they were willing to treat him as a werewolf as a friend. Therefore, even though he knew that he should stand up and oppose them, he wouldn't do it every time.
However, Snape walked very quickly. His cloak fluttered in the air as he walked. Lupin was stunned for a moment before he turned around and returned to the office. He glanced at the steaming potions on the table and shook his head with a bitter smile. He stood up and looked for a bottle to store them. He didn't expect that after so many years, Snape still had feelings for Lily. It was just that the name of the foundation made him, who was close to James, angry.
After storing the potions, Lupin continued to edit his thesis. When he was done, he stretched his neck and looked up at the time. He stood up and went to the hall for dinner.
After he left, in the empty office, the curtains next to the closed window fluttered even though there was no wind.
"I really want to know how Allen and the rest live in Demstrand. Harry, do you remember? During the wizard tournament, Demstrand entered like an army, and their students were especially afraid of Principal Kakarov. Demstrand must be a school with clear hierarchy and strict discipline. Their school life must not be as undisciplined as ours, "Hermione concluded.
"Hermione, give me a break. Even Professor Mag goes to Hogsmeade for a drink from time to time. It's not undisciplined to use the rest time to rest. But Allen must have learned a lot of different magic. His notes should be very detailed. He will show them to you when he comes back. I just don't know if he will play Quidditch with them. " Harry sat beside Hermione and gnawed on a drumstick. He already knew how to distract Hermione when she was nagging.
"Yes, they can use their time freely as exchange students. Allen should have more time to study magic. I really want to see their library. Demstrand has always been known for its tolerance of black magic … If you ask me, Hogwarts should also teach a certain amount of black magic. Spells don't differentiate between good and bad. If we can understand the black wizards' usual methods, we can better deal with them. "
"Well, you're not like when I first met you." Harry was obviously still prejudiced against black magic. He mumbled, "But, do you only have study and the library in your life? You have to come and watch the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin in a few days. "
"Harry, the core of her wand is the Dragon's Heart Tendon. It is the easiest wand core to use for black magic," Ron, who was sitting on Harry's right, added in his ear.
Harry found that Ron had been trying to talk to Hermione in different ways. However, whether he was trying to be friendly or deliberately provoke her, Hermione basically ignored him and treated him as invisible.
"Strange." Hermione ignored Ron as expected. Her eyes were fixed on the teachers' table.
?? Harry was already eating a roast potato. "What's strange?"
"Umrich hasn't come back yet?" Hermione replied.
"Maybe, she has already given up!" Harry pulled over a large plate of yellow pastry, handed Ron a small piece, and then ate it himself. His eyes glanced at his friend on the right, and he couldn't help but think, "Maybe you should have given up long ago."
In Demstrand, Allen was personally taking care of Luna, who was vomiting due to her stomach discomfort. He did not let his subordinates do it for him.
In order to make it easier for him to take care of her, Luna, who was wearing pajamas, was lying in the arms of Allen, who was sitting at the head of the bed. He gently patted Luna's back and considerately handed a bottle of water to Luna so that she could rinse her mouth. She watched as Allen cleaned up her vomit. She pointed to her temple with her finger and said, "Allen, my head hurts." The hangover effect of the vodka was a little unbearable for Luna. Under her pale skin, there was a redness caused by the alcohol, such as the tip of her nose and earlobes.
Allen massaged Luna's head with his slender fingers. Only then did Luna feel a little better and close her eyes.
"It's rare to see you suffer, Luna." Allen joked, feeling that Luna seemed more mortal at times like this.
"Those professors really thought that the pickled lard was delicious. They were very satisfied when they ate it." Luna's light voice was different from usual. There was a hint of grievance in her voice, which sounded soft and weak. She was not in good spirits. "I thought it was something like sour cream."
"Next time, don't look into other people's minds." Allen continued to massage Luna, trying to reduce her discomfort.
"I just couldn't control myself." Luna looked at the blue sky outside. "Allen, it snowed last night. The air outside must be good. Carry me outside for a walk."
In the face of Luna's rare request, Allen had no intention of refusing. He glanced at Luna, who was a little different from usual. He sat up and bent down to help her put on her clothes, shoes, and socks. He let Luna wrap her arms around his neck and carried Luna on his back. When they left the room, Luna reached out and waved in the direction of the bed behind her. The thick quilt on the bed automatically flew over and wrapped around the two of them, leaving only their faces and Allen's legs exposed. Although the appearance was a little awkward, Allen was still in a good mood and walked outside.
The cold but clear air outside made Luna's spirits rise. They ignored the surrounding students' gazes because of their strange appearance and slowly walked around the campus. Until there was a loud noise in front of them. A group of wizards gathered together and looked up at the top of Demstrand Castle.
A figure fell from the sky accompanied by the cheers of the surrounding students. With a "thump", the figure fell into the snow.
Allen and Luna followed the gaze of the surrounding students and looked up. They saw a group of students wearing Demstrand's red robes standing in line at the top of the four-story castle. When it was their turn, no matter if they were male or female, they took off all their clothes except for their underwear. They picked up a bottle of vodka from the ground and immediately jumped down from the top of the castle. Accompanied by the cheers of the onlookers below, they landed on the thick pile of snow below.
From the conversations of the surrounding students, he knew that the Russian-born students in their academy would hold such an event every year. Even some students born in other countries were influenced by them and participated in it.
What made Allen even more speechless was that the tall and burly fatty who was wrapped in thick clothes like a bear also appeared in the group of wizards who were waiting in line to experience it. Obviously, he, who had nothing to do in school and liked excitement, had started to follow the students and fool around. It seemed that he had to find something for this group of players to do in the remaining time.
A thin professor with a white beard also appeared on the top of the building. Allen recognized him as one of the main culprits who made Luna misunderstand and made her eat the pickled lard. He saw him split the crowd and said something to the student in the front with a serious expression. Then, the student who had taken off his clothes put down the bottle in his hand and retreated to the side.
Allen shrugged. It seemed that this group of wizards' carnival was coming to an end.
But what he didn't expect was that the professor suddenly took off his clothes and raised the bottle that the student had put on the ground. He drank it all in one breath and shouted happily. Then, he pointed his magic wand at himself, igniting a raging flame on his body. Then, under the admiring gaze of the group of students, he jumped down from the top of the building with agile movements that didn't match his old image. He even did a few somersaults in the air and fell into the high pile of snow below the building. The fire on his body was instantly extinguished by the snow and ice. The old professor nimbly climbed out of the pile of snow, safe and sound. The crowd immediately cheered even louder.
