To him, this news was very unbelievable. A big devil like Voldemort actually wanted to teach? What a magical reality...
Looking at Harry's expression, Lupine knew that he was mistaken.
"The purpose of Voldemort coming to Hogwarts is not to teach and educate people," Lupine snorted coldly, "He came to expand his influence among the young wizards."
"If he had taught at Hogwarts for six or seven years, there would have been no need to fight the Wizarding War. The Order of the Phoenix is definitely no match for the Death Eaters - Voldemort is a very good instigator."
"Order of the Phoenix?"
"The organization established by Dumbledore during the war to fight against Voldemort's Death Eaters. I, Sirius, and your parents are all members of this organization."
This was the first time Harry heard the name Order of the Phoenix. Its name, its mission, and the fact that his parents had joined this organization all made him deeply fascinated by the Order.
"Then can I join?"
Lupine took a deep look at Harry and said, "The Order of the Phoenix was disbanded after the fall of the mysterious man. I hope it will never be reconvened."
Although Dumbledore occasionally summoned former members of the Order of the Phoenix, the Order is still in disbandment. There is only one reason for Dumbledore to reconvene the Order of the Phoenix: Voldemort is back.
"It's too far off topic," Lupine shook his hand, "Anyway, just remember that if Voldemort becomes a professor at Hogwarts, then Hogwarts will become the headquarters of Death Eaters."
When Voldemort cast the curse, it was not all out of anger. Voldemort himself knew very well that Dumbledore had always been wary of him. This wariness existed when he was still Tom Riddle. There was no reason for him to be so abrupt after graduation.
disappeared - especially since he and his Death Eaters had a less than stellar reputation after graduation.
The more important purpose of his coming to Hogwarts is to hide his Horcrux. As for the teaching position, he should have been mentally prepared to be rejected.
Anger? There should be some, but he is not that free to cast a curse specifically for this. Voldemort's purpose in doing this is to destroy the potential of Hogwarts. The position of Defense Against the Dark Arts is very important. If the teacher frequently
The replacement of teachers will definitely affect the quality of teaching and ultimately reduce the combat effectiveness of students graduating from Hogwarts.
He should have made two preparations. If he could become a professor, he would develop his power among students. If he could not get a teaching position, he would completely destroy the future of this course.
The final result was obvious. The future of Defense Against the Dark Arts was ruined by him. Look, when Harry was in school, all the bugs who came to teach were the likes of Quirrell and Lockhart who could all become professors.
Lupine was chatting with Harry, cleaning up the things in the office, and occasionally making witty remarks to Sirius. After he stuffed the last few books back into his suitcase, he patted Sirius on the shoulder,
Indicating that it was time for him to set off.
He glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Our carriage should be arriving soon, okay - bye, Harry, it's been a pleasure teaching you, it's time for us to set off."
"We will meet again." Sirius gave Harry a hug, ruffled Harry's hair, and then left the office with Lupine.
After Sirius and Lupine left together, Harry was the only one left in the office. Looking around, the office became empty, which made Harry feel empty inside.
There is an illusion that he is the only one left in the world.
He sat down on the seat where Lupin had been sitting before, and kept recalling every bit of the past school year in his mind, from the Boggart to the late-night special training, from the first time he heard Sirius's name to that...
Christmas has a special meaning...
When will they meet again? Harry is a little unsure, anyway, it is not this summer vacation - Sirius just made it clear to him that he has something very important to do during the summer vacation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to meet him, or even be unable to meet him.
Communication.
Not sure if he would be able to spend Christmas with Sirius next year, Harry stared blankly at the old floor of the office. At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Professor Lupin's desk, which seemed a little unusual.
He raised his head and saw that the desk drawer was open, as if he had forgotten to close it. Harry walked over and found a folded piece of worn parchment in the drawer.
Harry's heart beat faster than expected.
He quickly took the parchment out of the drawer, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was the Marauder's Map he had lost!
Did it turn out to be Professor Lupine who picked it up... No, it might have been Sirius...
No matter who picked it up, putting it here like this represents a hint: this Marauder's Map belongs to you.
Harry felt a sense of ecstasy about having recovered something, and he quickly stuffed the Marauder's Map into his robe. At this moment, the door to the office was pushed open again, and Professor Lupin stood panting at the door, revealing his face to Harry.
gave a somewhat stiff smile.
"I didn't expect that our reunion would be just a few minutes later," he told a corny joke to resolve his embarrassment. Then a look of embarrassment and confusion appeared on his face, and he spoke with an unnatural expression.
He said to Harry in a tone of voice: "Harry, you... um... I seem to have left a piece of parchment in my drawer. Did you see it?"
"Is this it?" Harry resisted the idea of taking it as his own, and he took out the Marauder's Map from his arms with some reluctance.
"Yes, that's it. Thank you, Harry. Well, I really have to say goodbye now -" Lupine took the map from Harry, hugged Harry, and then hurriedly left the office.
After Lupine left, Harry sighed and leaned against the window, staring blankly at the sky outside the window.
…
Outside the school gate, Sirius struggled to stuff two large boxes and two small suitcases into the trunk of the carriage. There was a sound of footsteps, and Lupine held a piece of parchment in his hand and ran to the school gate quickly.
"Do you know how much effort I put in?" Sirius complained to his old friend dissatisfied.
"Who asked you to leave this thing in school on your own initiative?" Lupine glared at Sirius, "You should know what we are going to face. If there is one less person who knows, then there is one less person who knows.
This thing will——Professor Dumbledore, why are you here!"
Lu Ping stopped talking and looked at the old man standing behind him.
"Come to see you off." Dumbledore had a kind smile on his face, and his eyes were extremely deep behind his half-moon glasses.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lupine and Sirius looked as usual, looking relaxed and calm.
"I can rest assured." After chatting with them for a few words, Dumbledore patted them both on the shoulders and said, "Have a good trip!"
