Lupin looked at Elwyn suspiciously. He did not know why this boy would appear outside the castle at this time. This was clearly illogical. However, he did not intend to delve into it. Just like him, everyone had their own secrets.
In fact, after two months of continuous interaction, Lupin had a very good impression of Elwyn.
In Fang Xingjian's class, Ivan would always be the first to answer all the questions. From the assignments Fang Xingjian had given him, Fang Xingjian could tell that Ivan had a deep understanding and unique understanding of black magic defense techniques.
It had been many years since Lupin had seen such an outstanding young man. Moreover, Elwyn had a very good relationship with Harry, just like how he had been with Jaime, Potter, Peter, and Sirius Black back then.
At the thought of Blake, Lupin felt a pang of heartache. Until now, he still could not believe that Blake would betray Jaime and seek refuge with the Lord Voldemort. They were clearly the best of friends in the past.
He shook his head. Perhaps he had been wrong about Fang Xingjian all along.
Blake was also very outstanding back then, but he chose to betray in the end. The smarter a person was, the more they would care about the gains and losses of their own interests. In their eyes, friendship was merely a commodity that could be exchanged at any time.
In that case, would this boy before him be the same as Blake, betraying his friends for his own interests?!
Lupin carefully sized up Elwyn, hoping to see something from him.
The next second, his eyes suddenly widened. He seemed to have seen a familiar figure in the bushes opposite Elwyn.
The tip of his wand emitted a beam of light that flew into the bushes. There was nothing in it.
Was it an illusion?
Lupin heaved a sigh of relief. He was feeling very conflicted.
On one hand, he wanted to meet Blake and get to the bottom of the matter. On the other hand, he was afraid of meeting him. He was afraid that Blake would tell him personally how he had betrayed Jaime and Lily to the Lord Voldemort back then.
Lupin could not remember how many times he had been woken up by such nightmares.
Twelve years had passed, and he had always blamed himself. He blamed himself for not discovering Blake's true colors earlier, giving him the chance to betray Jaime and eventually killing Peter. It was all his fault.
Lupin originally thought that the guilt would accompany him for the rest of his life, but Blake escaped from Azkaban. Everyone said that the purpose of his escape was to kill Harry, the only son of his best friend.
Lupin would never let such a thing happen again. This was also why he accepted Dumbledore's invitation to return to Hogwarts to teach. He wanted to protect Harry. Perhaps he could even catch Blake with his own hands and answer for what happened back then.
Lupin took a deep breath. Now was not the time to think about these things.
"Elwyn, you should go back to the hall and stay with the others." Lupin took two steps forward. Then, he stopped abruptly.
He saw that the grass in the grass opposite Elwyn was pressing down in one direction. There was indeed something there just now. He was not mistaken. It must be Sirius Black's Animagus. He had seen it countless times and would never forget it in this life.
The boy in front of him had contact with Blake. Was it just a coincidence?
Elwyn saw Lupin's expression and knew what he was thinking. This was really difficult. He did not know how to explain this matter to the other party.
However, he would not have to worry about this matter soon.
Just as he was hesitating, something crawled out from the grass. Lupin obviously heard the sound, and another strong light flew over. It was Mount Crook. It was startled by the sudden light and rushed into Elwyn's arms.
"Professor, I came out to look for this cat. It is my friend Hermione's pet. I just saw it run out of the castle. I was worried that it would meet with an accident, so I followed it out."
Elwyn did not know if Lupin would believe his random excuse. Lupin carefully looked at Mount Crook for a while and showed an expression of relief.
The two returned to the castle. Just as they turned the corner of the hall, they saw Dumbledore and Snape standing outside the hall, talking about something.
"The whole castle has been searched. There is no trace of him," Snape said in a low voice.
"Very good, Severus. I did not really think that Blake would stay," Dumbledore said calmly.
"But there is one thing I have to report to you." Snape squinted and said, "During the search of the castle, one of our teachers has been missing. It is the person I told you about before."
"What do you want to say, Severus?"
"I mean, how did Blake enter the castle? About this, do you have any opinion, headmaster?" Snape said.
"There are many, Severus. Every one of them is possible."
"Do you remember our conversation, just before the start of the semester?" Snape's voice was very low. He obviously did not want others to hear the content of the conversation.
"I remember, Severus." Dumbledore's voice carried a tone similar to a warning.
"It seems, almost impossible. Blake can not enter this school without the help of the inside, especially now that that person is still missing. You know what I mean. I did express my concern, but you have to accept your fate."
"I do not believe that anyone in this castle will help Blake enter." Dumbledore said. His tone clearly indicated that this was the end of the conversation, so Snape did not answer.
The person that Snape suspected was obviously Lupin. Elwyn turned around and saw that Lupin's face was calm, as if he did not hear what the two people said.
"Severus, I must go to those Dementors," Dumbledore said. "I said, we will inform them after the search."
"Are they going to help?" Snape said.
"Oh, yes!" Dumbledore said coldly, "But I am afraid that as long as I am headmaster, they will not be allowed to cross the threshold of the school."
Elwyn saw Dumbledore walking towards the hall. When he saw himself and Lupin, he was slightly stunned. Snape followed.
"You were eavesdropping on our conversation?" Snape's eyes kept wandering between the two of them, and finally locked on to Lupin with a look of hatred.
"Professor, we did not …"
"Be careful when making up lies, Mason!" Snape turned his eyes to Elwyn. "I have to remind you that according to the headmaster's orders, you should be sleeping in the hall now, not walking out of the castle with a person you do not know at all and doing something sneaky."
"I …" Elwyn was speechless. Snape and Dumbledore were each more difficult to deal with than the other. He hurriedly repeated the reason why he went out to find Mount Crook.
"For this stupid cat, Gryffindor deducted ten points." Snape said in disgust, "Now hurry to the hall to sleep. That is where you should be."
