The fact that Lupine was a werewolf caused a huge - no, actually a trivial discussion throughout Hogwarts.

There is no other way, the final exam is coming, and the results will mean how you will live during the long summer vacation. Who has time to talk about whether the professor is a werewolf?

The fifth and seventh graders did have a little time, but they had been holding it back for a whole year. The school decided to open Hogsmeade before the summer vacation. How could this kind of entertainment be worthy of staying in the castle and discussing werewolves without going out to play?

Their hard work for a year?

Of course, the most important factor is that both the school and the Ministry of Magic have unified their voices and announced in newspapers that they support Professor Lupine's continued employment in the school, especially the resume of the 'former striker', which has made students who are uneasy about werewolves

I also let down a lot of my guard.

However, despite this, Lu Ping is still being watched by many people these days.

Every student will cast a veiled and curious look, wondering if Lupine will suddenly appear with furry ears or a tail at the next moment - there is no way, in many magical family stories, werewolves replace Muggle fairy tales

The Big Bad Wolf becomes the villain...

"To be honest...it's much better than I imagined..."

In the corner of the staff lounge, Lu Ping was cheerful and did not take the crowds of people these days to heart at all.

"At least my students didn't look at me with hatred. If that were the case, I really wouldn't be able to continue..."

He even had the intention to play wizard chess with William - and made William lose terribly.

"Dear Lord Wizard...Maybe we should let that soldier go first..."

The bishop who was selected by William spoke submissively, without any arrogance in his tone.

"are you sure?"

William stopped playing the wizard's chess and asked doubtfully. The bishop nodded quickly, which made the soldier look miserable.

"Haha..." Adams sneered, "You actually have to let the chessmen teach you how to play wizard chess!"

He laughed mercilessly and ignored the rule of watching the game without saying anything, "Come on, let me play this endgame and see how I win."

William simply gave up his position. He lost a little and doubted his life.

Back in Azkaban, when he played wizard chess with Nine Fingers that couldn't move, he performed very well...

'Could it be that...that guy with Nine Fingers, did he let me go on purpose?'

Just when he consciously discovered the original truth, the wizard chess held in Adams's hand became a little unhappy - it struggled as if it wanted to say something, but finally sighed and gave up.

"Cuckoo!!!"

The owl's cry came from the window. After it made the sound, it began to tap the window rhythmically with its beak, signaling the professors to open the window.

William waved his arm, and the window was pushed open completely. Then, the silly-looking owl fluttered and landed on the nearest table, bouncing on top and starting to trot.

It didn't even rush to deliver the message, and directly entangled the professor closest to the window - he was opening a bag of nuts.

"Okay, okay..."

As the professor spoke, he divided half of the package out and glanced at the name of the recipient.

"Professor Lupin, your letter is from Sirius Black!"

He turned around, shouted to Lupine, and then complained with a smile, "I'm obviously sending you a letter, but you still have to feed me - this guy is too bullying."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Lupine stood up and walked towards the addicted owl.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other professors who were watching began to whisper, "Hurry up, move the chess pieces. Lupine hasn't lost yet in wizard chess at school. When he was studying, Ravenclaw's

No one will play chess with him!"

The poor chess piece tried to say something, but was stared at by the professor who was watching. He hesitated and started to pretend to be dead.

Lupine took the letter and came back quickly without opening it to read it. When he came back, he found that one bishop was missing from the chessboard.

Then, without saying a word, he killed the overconfident Adams to the same level as William before.

"I'm going to read the letter first. Is there anyone who can take it?"

Lupine asked cheerfully - it could be seen that the exposure of his werewolf identity but not much change in his life made him feel relieved a lot, and he no longer had to work hard to hide the fact that he was a werewolf.

——

【Dear Moon Face:】

[I have read the recent newspapers carefully - I am very happy that you can continue to serve at Hogwarts...]

…

The letter was filled with unabashed congratulations and happiness, which made Lu Ping feel even better.

But the professors’ calls soon came from behind him, “Professor Luping, your letter!”

"Isn't it an offensive letter?"

Looking at the new owl, William became nervous - the letter just now came from Sirius, Lupine's best friend outside school, and now the new one...

No matter how hard the Ministry of Magic and the school explain it, there will always be people who think this is a conspiracy. The wizarding world is not that beautiful.

However, Lu Ping had stated in advance that he was prepared to be attacked personally of all kinds - since he was determined to go public, he was not afraid of accepting criticism.

However, after a while, Lupine brought the letter with a strange expression on his face.

"Professor William, please come out..."

'What's the situation? A roaring letter? Professor Luping should be able to handle it on his own...'

William followed out in confusion, and followed him all the way to Lupin's office, and then he saw the truth about the second letter...

Surprisingly, it was written by Sirius...

"Does he have a flock of owls?"

William complained while watching Lupine unfold the map and spread it across the entire table.

It was a huge map filled with large and small circles.

“What is this—a new board game?”

"A treasure map...Padfoot said it himself. He suspected that those places contained the truth about the disappearance of Muggles in that village..."

"The truth? Hasn't he found those missing people yet?"

The plan was made long ago, could something go wrong?

"No, he said in the letter that he had plowed up the land around the entire village, but the result was nothing... so..."

Lupine handed the letter directly to William and asked him to see Sirius's thoughts.

"There's nothing wrong with the idea...it's very possible that something is hidden..."

William nodded, and then looked at the messy map.

"This is all..."

He took a look, and the more he looked, the uglier he felt - "What and what is all this? Who would hide things in a place like that!"

A quill flew up from the left, and William quickly made notes on the map.

"The woods here... are close to the main traffic road. If it hadn't been built later, the other party wouldn't have been able to hide here."

"The terrain here is too low. It's possible to dig holes to hide treasures, but the Inferi cannot hide them. The workload is too heavy."

"..."

He cleared out about two-thirds of the circles in one go, all of which were completely unsuitable for being a treasure trove with the Inferi - the conditions for preserving the Inferi were so stringent, it really seemed like any place would allow those guys to maintain them.

active?

Not to mention that some of the marked places are not suitable for hiding things from his perspective... A place where smuggling cannot be temporarily stored, and you still want to hide things? Are you kidding, it's impossible...

"Can't it be less?"

Lu Ping couldn't understand, but was shocked, but even so, he still gave ruthless guidance like Party A.

"There can only be more, not less. In some places, if a group of wizards work together to transform the landscape, they can still save things - but then the confidentiality will be lost. The other party must not be hiding it so secretly to share it with others."

Clapping his hands, William looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction - even if there was so little left, it would take Sirius at least two or three months to finish it.

It's not that easy to find things hidden by other wizards, not to mention that the Secrecy Law also imposes a lot of restrictions - a few square meters of land at a time, a little trial and error, and the remaining locations can tire him to the point of thinking.

give up.

'But Blake's character... it's hard to make him give up... Once we find the location, I'll go over and have a look, and try what I've learned...'

"Professor Lupine, please tell Sirius when you write your reply that I plan to go and see the hidden place together after he finds out - of course, forget it during the summer vacation. If he is willing before the summer vacation, I will come as soon as possible.

Rushed over."

"No problem, let's go there together and see what a real dark wizard can do."

Lupine agreed wholeheartedly - he knew very well that Sirius only cared about the adventure itself, and it was extremely happy for him to be able to share the adventure.
