Chapter 229 Wolf cub?(1/2)
"Look at what you are like now, Lupin. What makes you dare to come to me again? Is your face thicker than the city wall?"
Snape's familiar voice came from the corridor not far away.
The moment he heard the sound, Mike quickly pressed against the wall and held his breath. It would be embarrassing if the two of them caught him.
On the other hand, Lupine obviously didn't like Snape either. Faced with Snape's harsh words, Lupine unceremoniously launched a counterattack.
"None of this has anything to do with you, Snotlout!"
"Don't call me that name again!"
The words "Snotlout" seemed to irritate Snape, and while he squeezed out these words through his teeth, he pushed Lupine against the wall, making a dull impact.
Mike remained silent.
Others may not know about the grudges between them, but Mike, the time traveler, knows it all.
Snape came from a poor mixed-race family, and her mother was a descendant of the famous potions family, the Prince family.
The young Snape and Harry's mother Lily were childhood sweethearts. The same magical qualifications they both had made their relationship heat up quickly. Originally, this relationship should have been able to survive well, but when both of them entered the Hall of Fame, their relationship quickly heated up.
When Gwarts was young, one of the two entered Slytherin, and the other entered Gryffindor.
That's not all. The key point is that Snape also met his lifelong enemy, Harry's father, James Potter.
At that time, James was good friends with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, and they formed a group called the Marauders.
The actions of these four people really deserve the name of predators. They may not do all kinds of evil in Hogwarts, but they are definitely not good people either.
Snape was bullied miserably by them. The ridicule and ridicule were all trivial matters, and the humiliation by stripping off his pants was nothing. In the end, even his childhood sweetheart was taken away by James.
If viewed purely from the perspective of a bystander, the four Marauders are completely a group of thugs, and Snape is a victim of school bullying.
This is why Snape's feelings for Harry are so complicated. On the one hand, Harry looks a lot like James, which makes him very disgusted. On the other hand, Hart has the same eyes as his mother Lily.
.
In a way, Snape can be considered a counterattack.
Look at how the foursome of Zeng Jin's Marauders are doing now.
James, the eldest son of the Potter family, is now alive and dead. Sirius, the heir to the Black family, the second generation of the super rich, has been in prison for more than ten years and is still lingering on. Pettigrew, hide.
Be a dirty rat next to Ron.
As for Lupine, looking at his look, you can tell that he had a very bad life in the past.
Finally, let’s take a look at Snape. From a poor mixed-blood, he became a potions master and a professor at Hogwarts. He was so powerful! He was an absolute diamond king. Don’t look at his greasy look.
, if Snape hadn’t forgotten that Lily didn’t want to get married, then those who wanted to marry him would have queued from the Hogwarts Great Hall to the Ravenclaw Lounge!
The most important thing is that James' son Potter is now Snape's student. Snape can punish Harry any way he wants within the rules, and it is true that the father's debt is paid by the son.
Let's talk about Lupine again. When Snape pushed Lupine against the wall, his eyes suddenly glanced at where Mike was, and then a smile appeared on Snape's face.
"I swear I will catch that villain Black, and I will cut him into pieces! Oh no, this is too easy for him. Let the dementors give him a kiss. That is the end he deserves.
." Snape paced back and forth with a wicked smile, gradually approaching where Mike was, "As for you, Lupin, I suggest you, a wolf cub, not to wander around outside at night. After all, the weather is very good during this period.
The moon is very round, it would be bad if some monster appeared!"
After saying that, Snape flicked his sleeves and left like a big bat, leaving Lupine alone and panting.
Mike, on the other hand, was thoughtful. Snape's last words just now seemed to be said to him specifically. In this way, Snape must have discovered him, and he also wanted to tell him the truth about Lupine.
identity.
Werewolf.
This is Lupine's true identity.
Werewolves are an extremely special creature in the Harry Potter world. They are more like an infectious disease. People bitten by werewolves will also turn into werewolves.
For this reason, werewolves have always been excluded by wizards, even those who are accidentally bitten. It can be said that as long as you are bitten, you are a monster and should be killed.
Lupine was bitten by a werewolf named Griffin when he was young. After that, he would transform into an irrational beast every full moon night.
That's all Mike knew, and Mike had almost forgotten the rest.
But with this little information, Mike could imagine what would happen if the parents of the students knew that there was a monster in Hogwarts that could turn their children into werewolves.
I'm afraid Lupine will be torn into pieces by them, right?
Mike thought unscrupulously, while Lupine on the other side also recovered after resting for a while. His body is really weak now and he needs a good rest.
"Professor Lupine."
Mike's sudden voice in the darkness startled Lupine. Lupine's expression looked particularly gloomy under the surrounding candlelight. He said somewhat unexpectedly: "Mike? Why are you here?"
"I have some questions to ask you about the Patronus Charm." Mike bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late, but I really can't wait until the next day."
Lupine looked at Mike blankly, and after a while he asked in a meaningful voice: "How long have you been there."
"I've been here all along. I heard everything you just talked to Professor Snape." Mike paused for a moment. He saw Lupine's expression suddenly changed, so he said in a meaningful voice, "
I have also received Snape's hints to me, and I know exactly what Professor Snape wants to tell me."
"Really? How come I didn't know that Snape had just done something like that."
Seeing that Lupine was still stubborn, Mike said: "Wolf, moon, monster. This is already obvious, isn't it?"
As soon as Mike finished speaking, Lupine's fist clenched suddenly. Mike's eyes swept over his fist before he continued: "But please don't worry, I will keep your secret. After all, you are a good person. This
It can be seen from your superb Patronus Charm. And I am very eager to become a good person with noble morals like you."
After saying this, Mike looked at Lupine with a half-smile, waiting for his answer. After being silent for a while, Lupine also had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It is my job as a professor to teach students. Come on."
Come on, Mike, go to my office and I will explain to you the key points of the Patronus Charm."
"Thank you Professor!"
Mike smiled, very happily.
Lupine's reaction was just as expected. Mike had already thought about whether to threaten Lupine with the werewolf thing. He thought about it again and again, and finally confirmed that Lupine, a good old man, would not do anything like this.
Only after that did he take action.
And the result is also very beautiful. If the werewolf thing hadn't been brought up today, Lu Ping might not have agreed.
…
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Lupine and Mike took out their wands.
This office originally belonged to Lockhart. Since Lupine had just arrived and had not cleaned it yet, it still maintained a strong Lockhart-style exaggeration.
Mike could even smell the faint scent of perfume in the air.
"The Patron Saint Spell is a very complex and magical spell. Its ultimate form is to summon a physical Patron Saint. Everyone's Patron Saint is different and is determined according to each person's personality, such as
My patron saint is the wolf."
As he spoke, Lupine waved his wand, and as the Patronus Charm was recited, a silver-white light wolf emerged from the tip of Lupine's wand.
"Come on, let me see where you are now."
After showing Mike his Patronus Charm, Lupine finished casting the spell and motioned to Mike to try it too.
Of course, Mike was not weak either. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before raising his wand.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Following Mike's loud shout, a burst of rich light mist floated out from the wand, centering on the tip of the wand and spreading out in all directions.
"Bah bang bang!"
Applause came from the side. Lupine applauded and praised: "It's really good. Your talent is amazing. There are very few young wizards at your age who can use the Patronus Charm to this extent."
When faced with Lupine's admiration, Mike curled his lips. He thought Lupine was comforting him with lies, because in the original work, Harry and others were able to release the physical version of the Patronus in the same year.
But Mike couldn't say that openly, so he withdrew the Patronus Charm and respectfully said thank you to Lupine.
"If you can achieve this step, I believe you should already know about the theory of the Patronus Charm. Then I will give you some suggestions based on your shortcomings." Lu Ping paused here before continuing, "I
Notice that you need a process of brewing emotions before you release the Patronus Spell, but in actual combat the Dementors will not give you this time. So your top priority now is to omit this process."
"Secondly, I suggest that you fix a certain joyful thing that brings you emotions when you release the patron saint spell. This thing can be a memory or a desire for the future. Anyway, as long as it can make you
It’s enough to be happy. Connect this thing with something. After doing this, every time you see or think about this thing, you will instinctively recall that happy thing.”
"Then... don't hesitate, take action decisively! The more you hesitate, the weaker the pure joy will be. Because your subconscious is constantly reminding you that all this joy is false."
Lupine was drooling as he talked, while Mike below took out a notebook and wrote crazily in it.
Lupine is indeed a master of the Patronus Charm, but his understanding of the Patronus Charm is far beyond what Professor Flitwick can achieve.
Mike felt that if he could do what Professor Lupine just said, then not to mention whether he could summon a physical version of the Patronus, at least he would not be in trouble in actual combat.
"Thank you, Professor. I feel this will be of great help to me." Mike put away his notebook and said, "But actually what I want to do most now is to summon a physical version of the Patron Saint."
Mike deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and Lupine was fooled. After laughing for a while, he said with a smile: "I understand, young wizards are like this, eager to know what their patronus spell is.
how is it like."
"But this is not something that happens overnight. You need to go through long-term practice to release the complete form of the Patronus, and by this time it also means that you have learned the Patronus Charm."
