Hogwarts Homecoming

What a strange thing, Harry thought when confronted with the questioning.

Professor Brian didn't ask too much about how he discovered those secret passages, but after Professor Lupine found out, he was very concerned, and even, it was so late, he actually chased him to the Gryffindor lounge Ask about it.

The three of Harry looked at each other, not knowing what trick Professor Lupine was up to.

"Oh, this—" Harry shrugged his shoulders, trying to look as innocent as possible, "we found a few of them ourselves."

This evening, Harry had already lied to the two professors who were close to him, but he couldn't help it. Fred and George had kindly handed him the Marauder's Map, and he couldn't drag them into the water.

Lupine stared at Harry sharply, completely unlike his usual gentle and refined appearance. He neither chose to believe nor veto Harry's explanation, but continued to ask,

"I suppose... you must be getting a little help from something else too, Harry?"

Could it be that Professor Lupine knew about that map?

Harry's heart beat faster suddenly, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

"I'll just say it straight, Harry."

Lupine wasn't going to be running in circles, his pale cheeks flushed by the flames, he looked into Harry's green eyes and asked,

"Professor Blaine told me that the entrance to one of the three secret passages that Filch didn't know was not inside the castle, but under the Whomping Willow by the playground. Please allow me to be puzzled by this, Harry, I You think that under normal circumstances, you should be unlikely to know this, right?"

Ron and Hermione stood behind Professor Lupine, and when Lupine asked this question and stared into Harry's eyes, their eyes met in mid-air, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Professor Lupine mobilized a large number of people to come to Harry, just to know this?

"Not because of."

Harry frowned, trying desperately to find an excuse to muddle the question, but Professor Lupine added sternly,

"I suppose what you told me must be the truth, Harry?"

Harry was at a loss for words, unable to continue weaving lies.

"Because of that car, Professor—"

Ron plucked up the courage to stand up, facing Lupine's suspicious eyes, he said crisply,

"I think you may have heard about that, Professor, when the second year started, Harry and I drove to Hogwarts in a flying car."

"The Daily Prophet reported some...," Lupine said slowly, with a flash of memory in his eyes, "Minerva seems to have mentioned it to me a couple of times, too. She said that your car crashed in the end. The Whomping Willow?"

You are a genius, Ron!

From Harry's peeping eyes, Ron read this sentence, and this also made him more confident, and his tone became more confident,

"Oh yes, Professor!"

Ron said in an unbearable tone,

"It was a very painful lesson, Professor, and Harry and I don't usually like to recall it. The car... It finally lost control and hit the Whomping Willow. You know, that tree has a bad temper. We desperately Dodged, and finally escaped its clutches at the cost of two broken ribs and a wand!"

Hermione's cheeks turned red. She couldn't get used to talking nonsense to fool the professor, although she had done it many times herself.

"That is to say, at that time, you discovered that there is a secret passage there?"

Lupine's frown relaxed a little, Ron's words sounded reasonable, at least, there were no obvious flaws.

"Yes, Professor!"

Ron, whose head was alive, said,

"But at that time we were in a hurry to escape, and we didn't have time to go down to see what happened. We wanted to do this later, but we couldn't get close to it anymore!"

"Well, that sounds like the truth."

Lupine breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders sagged, but before Harry could relax, Lupine regained his seriousness, glaring at Harry and saying,

"Professor Bryan told me that after you practiced the Patronus Charm at my place last week, you sneaked out from the school gate and went to Hogsmeade to drink. To be honest, Harry, I was shocked because I Thinking that the sounds you hear when the dementors are approaching will put you in relatively great restraint."

Harry tried to explain, but Lupine didn't give him the chance,

"Your parents gave their lives to protect you, to keep you alive, Harry, and it's not right to pay them back in this way - risking their sacrifice for two beers."

Lupine left, and his last disappointed look made Harry feel more uncomfortable than in Professor Brian's office. Seeing him like this, Hermione opened her mouth and said nothing, although she agreed with the two in her heart. A professor on Harry's education.

When slowly walking up the spiral staircase leading to the dormitory, Harry suddenly said in a sullen tone,

"I suddenly feel like I've been behaving stupidly all this time."

"Oh, don't think so, Harry—"

Ron patted the distraught Harry and said,

"Professor Bryan and Professor Lupine are both adult wizards, and their life experience is incomparable, and when they were our age, they might have done countless assholes!"

There was no light at night, and a week of fine snowflakes turned the world outside Hogsmeade into a white picture.

In a dry and cold cave, a big dog like a black bear is crawling and shivering on a bunch of dry grass. Under its body is a pile of blood-stained vole bones.

The swirling and stern cold wind squeezed in from the narrow entrance, and the dark cave immediately sounded like howling ghosts and howling wolves. The big black dog raised his head, just in time to see a sharp black shadow jumping into a black stone at the entrance of the cave, bowing his bow. Lifting his back, he desperately shook the snow on his furry body.

A piece of pie?

When he saw the thing in Crookshanks' mouth, the big black dog, which was originally weak, suddenly jumped up and whimpered excitedly.

The biting cold and unbearable hunger made it impossible to think about where Crookshanks got this thing. It rushed towards Crookshanks viciously, and grabbed the frozen Dayuan with one bite. Bread, biting down desperately.

Click!

In the cave filled with the howling sound of the wind, the sound of something breaking suddenly came to mind. The hungry big black dog spit out broken teeth and blood, as well as the piece of cake brought by Crookshanks.

Hagrid's Rock Pie

The big black dog wanted to cry but had no tears, and with a look of lovelessness on his face, it finally recognized what this thing was.
