On the last night before the Christmas holiday, Hogwarts held a grand dinner.
Lupine was in Hogsmeade, and of course he was invited to the school dinner.
Suddenly, a strange wizard appeared on the staff table, and the students started talking about it, guessing Lupin's identity.
Could it be that he was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher hired by Dumbledore, and he just waited until something happened to Professor Black, and then he seamlessly joined in?
What scumbag behavior!
However, this guess sounds outrageous at first, but when you think about it carefully... it is very reasonable!
After all, according to convention, Sirius can only work for another half a year at most, and a funeral and memorial service may have to be held for him.
Lupine, who was sitting at the guest of honor seat, was also very emotional. He never thought that he would be able to return to Hogwarts one day. For a moment, he even had the idea of becoming a professor in the future.
Compared to Lupine's happiness, Snape's mood was not that good. He kept staring at Lupine, with a look of hatred on his thin, sallow face.
"Lupin, I didn't expect to see you again. Are you still alive?"
"Yes, you are living quite well, Severus." Lupine said in a gentle voice: "On your side... your face looks sallow. Do you have liver disease?"
"I had a colleague who looked similar to you. He was diagnosed with hepatitis and died around Easter. Alas!"
Lupine sighed and said with concern: "Severus, you'd better go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry to have a check-up. Listen to my advice. This kind of illness cannot be delayed."
After hearing Lu Ping's words, the expressions of the professors on the faculty changed and they moved to both sides. After all, hepatitis is contagious.
"Don't worry, if I get sick, I will definitely make a potion for myself. You don't have to worry about it. It's your illness..." Snape said with a sarcastic smile on his lips:
"Dumbledore told me that he wants me to help you brew the Wolfsbane potion... Isn't it difficult every month?"
"Severus, thank you very much for your willingness to help me." Lupine said softly.
"You're welcome." Snape gave Lupine a meaningful cold stare.
"I will definitely brew the best-tasting potion in the world for you...enjoy it."
"If you dare to cause trouble in the potion, I will definitely not let you go!" Sirius said coldly.
"Don't let me go?" Snape sarcastically said bitterly, "Black, it seems that Lupine's arrival has given you a lot of courage. When you were in school, you were four against one, but now you are two against one... fair!
"
The three people confronted each other at the dining table, immediately attracting the attention of all the students.
I don't know who shouted "beat him", and then the auditorium suddenly burst into cheers.
Professor McGonagall glared fiercely at the twins who were not bothered by the excitement.
At the Hufflepuff dining table, Neville dropped honey on the bread, took a big bite, and said with a smile:
"Rolf, are you coming home for Christmas?"
Luo Fu shook his head and said, "I'm not going back."
Newt and the others were still in the United States, and there was no Yinfamani airship. He didn't want to take the Mayflower again.
"Then will you come to my house?" Neville invited: "My grandma likes you very much, you can come to my house as a guest."
"Neville, I have some things to do during this holiday." Rolf smiled and said, "When the summer vacation comes, I will definitely visit Mrs. Longbottom."
The boy didn't lie. He was really busy during this Christmas vacation. He had many things to do, the most important of which was... Voldemort!
After a dinner, the semester came to an end. The next day, the little wizards boarded the Hogwarts Express again and returned to King's Cross Station.
Rolf also left Hogwarts alone early in the morning.
He didn't take anyone with him, including Shirley.
Because... the place we are going to is too dangerous.
…
…
A dilapidated bus made a creaking sound as it slowly stopped on the side of the road, and a blond boy got out of the bus.
Rove glanced at the two completely opposite road signs on the side of the road.
↑Great Hangleton, 5 miles
↓Little Hangleton, 1 mile
He turned left along the path and went straight down the hillside. He soon saw a valley, and there was a village in the valley... Little Hangleton.
】
On the hillside across the valley, there is a dilapidated house with all the windows sealed, the tiles on the roof incomplete, and ivy crawling all over the house.
Rolf knew that the house was Riddle House, the home of Voldemort's father.
There used to be a very beautiful big house. After the sudden death of Old Tom and his family, half a century passed and the house gradually fell into disrepair and became more and more dilapidated.
Rolf's goal today was not Riddle House. He stood on the hillside, looked down at the village, and quickly found a small church.
Luofu walked along the mountain road directly towards the church. He avoided the crowd and quietly entered the gloomy cemetery behind the church.
After the villagers of Little Hamilton die, they are buried here, so there are many tombstones in the cemetery.
Walking among the tombs infested by foxes and rabbits, Luofu suddenly stopped in front of a tombstone. He squatted down and reached out to brush away the vines and lichen that entangled the stone monument, revealing its true face.
The handwriting is smeared, but the name of the owner of the tomb can still be vaguely discerned:
Tom Riddle!
It is not Voldemort who is buried here, but Voldemort's father, Old Tom.
Rolf stood in front of the tombstone and waved his wand gently. The tomb soon cracked open, and a puff of choking smoke dispersed, revealing a withered white corpse.
The young man stepped forward, bent down and looked at the corpse carefully, and couldn't help but frown.
According to the traces of the fight in the Forbidden Forest, the destructive power was too strong. Rove guessed that Voldemort might have been resurrected with Peter's help.
But in this tomb, Old Tom's body was extremely complete, with no arms or legs missing.
It seems that his guess was wrong.
Since he has not been resurrected yet, Rolf decided to give Voldemort some surprises, which can be regarded as his Christmas gifts.
The young man raised his magic wand, and Old Tom flew out of the coffin. He opened the box again, took out a new corpse, and put it into the coffin.
That was not a human being, but the corpse of an invisible beast... but from the looks of it, it looked almost like a human being.
I'm not a professional, so I really can't tell the difference.
If Voldemort wants to be resurrected, he must use his father's bones.
Rolf was looking forward to the day when he would put the bones of an invisible beast into the potion... That scene would be so beautiful!
Rolf couldn't help but laugh. He continued to wave his wand and restored the tomb to its original state as much as possible.
Just when the boy was having fun, a soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"What are you doing?"
