‘Dongdongdongdong~’

"professor!"

In the professor's office, except for the beds that he rests on weekdays, the rest of the place was filled with various books, potions and alchemy materials.

In front of a rather wide workbench, Wang Xuebin was calculating what was on a drawing. After hearing the knock on the door, he put down the quill in his hand, frowned and turned around.

"Remus? Come in!"

‘Squeak~’

With a light sound, Lupin pushed open the office door and walked in timidly.

"professor..."

"...I'm busy with something, I'm not busy!"

He looked at Lu Ping, who wanted to speak but stopped, glanced at the corner of his mouth, replied casually, shook his head slightly, turned around, lay in front of the workbench, picked up the unfinished experiment on the table, and continued to check it.

"Professor...I..."

"If you want to say it, just say it, go to have a meal if you don't say it. I'm still busy here and I don't have time to waste time with you."

"...Professor, I mean, Black..."

"alright!"

Before Lu Ping could finish speaking, Wang Xuebin interrupted him directly, put down his quill again, turned to look at him, and asked:

"Do you think there is anything unreasonable about my punishment for Black and James?"

"...No, professor, of course not, but..."

"No, there is indeed something unreasonable!"

Wang Xuebin interrupted Lu Ping again, turned around with the chair, leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said lightly:

"The only unreasonable thing is that you are not punished together!"

When Lu Ping heard Wang Xuebin's faintly regretful words, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Professor...I..."

"You? What are you?"

As he said that, Wang Xuebin stood up, bypassed several potion crucibles of different types on the ground, and came to Lupin.

"How did you promise me?

Leave them to you and you will advise them to reform!

What's the result? The raider? Amazing...

Later I also reminded you more than once to stop your accomplices from bullying. You always say you know, you know, but you just say it every time, and you tolerate it every time!"

Looking at Wang Xuebin, who was full of disappointment in his eyes, Lu Ping was stunned. He looked at Wang Xuebin timidly, and did not dare to breathe.

“You have the ability to stop them, and if you don’t do it, that’s your responsibility!

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

Forgot?

Your tolerance is to indulge them!

Now, I'll have caused a big disaster. If I hadn't discovered it earlier, Severus would have died!

Severus was a student I came to the school five years ago and was handed over to me by Mrs. Prince!

If anything misfortune happened to him at school, Mr. Remus…”

Wang Xuebin said, approaching a step, pointing his right hand at Lupin's shoulder, gritting his teeth, and saying word by word:

"Tell me how I should explain to his mother!"

Lu Ping, who was pointed at by Wang Xuebin, finally burst into tears of guilt in his eyes.

To be honest, he has dissuaded James Porter and Sirius for having fun playing tricks on his classmates more than once.

But every time after dissuasion, James and Sirius pulled him to beg for mercy and said a few soft words, and he couldn't make up his mind to pursue it. Gradually, he let it go.

Just like Sirius once said, just a little joke, nothing big...

He never thought that one day, the joke they said would almost kill a classmate...

"Just that, do you think my punishment is heavy?"

"No, not...Professor, that's not what I mean..."

"That's what you mean, Remus, you can't deceive me, you know, no one can deceive me!"

As he said that, Wang Xuebin stood up straight, stared at Lupin with red eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"To be honest, if Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore hadn't pleaded for Porter and Black, they would have packed up and got out of here!

Class? A fart class!”

"professor!"

When Lu Ping heard Wang Xuebin's words, he immediately panicked. There were twelve board seats in Hogwarts, and Wang Xuebin alone occupied five.

If Wang Xuebin strongly requested, neither Dumbledore nor Professor McGonagall could stop his decision!

Remus Lupin knew clearly how serious the situation in the wizarding world is today. If James Porter and Sirius left Hogwarts due to fire, then they would be finished!

"...Professor, don't...James' family was killed by the Death Eaters. Sirius came to the door because he heard the rumors that Snape joined the Death Eaters...

Whether it is Sirius or James, they are homeless, and they have no place to go except Hogwarts...Professor...please..."

"Please me? Don't ask me!"

Hearing Lupin's words, Wang Xuebin simply shook his head.

“Instead of asking me, I might as well ask Severus!

Not firing them is my biggest concession. I will never allow them to take my class anyway until Severus's forgiveness!”

"...professor..."

Seeing Lu Ping still wanting to say something, Wang Xuebin frowned, waved his hand and interrupted immediately.

"Don't tell me anything else. This matter is undiscussed. If they make a mistake, they must accept punishment and accusations.

If you don’t punish, you don’t give them the chance to know their mistakes. If you forgive them, you think that your morality is higher than others, which is arrogance.

If you want to talk nonsense, you will be punished with them! Get out of here!"

A angrily scolding made Lupin tremble. He looked up at Wang Xuebin, who looked impatient, and knew that things had no room for change. He bowed deeply and turned around and left.

In the office, Wang Xuebin, who saw Lupin leaving, shook his head slightly and sighed in disappointment.

There is no way, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Wang Xuebin can change Lupin's external character, but he cannot change his deeply rooted nature!

For Remus Lupin, who is a werewolf, the importance of acceptance, friendship and loyalty is far above the concept of right and wrong!

As the only friend who knows his werewolf identity and doesn't mind continuing to date him, it is much more important than Snape, whom he has never liked!

What's the reason to help your relatives or not?

Not everyone is Wang Xuebin, who will stop friends from doing improper behavior for the sake of justice in their hearts!

The result is that he has basically no friends since he was a child, just because in his heart, principles and bottom lines are much more important than friends...

As for who is right and who is wrong with Lupin, how can we tell clearly in just a few words?

Wang Xuebin's purpose is just not to hope that Lupin will regret his behavior today one day in the future...
