Chapter 790： Gryffindor never lacks courage

"Go to Hagrid to catch mice?"

Both Harry and Ron thought this matter was a bit inexplicable. Although they all knew that Hagrid's hut did have a lot of rats, but... they always felt that this thing was strange.

"Do you want to go together later?"

Hermione picked up Crookshank and put it on her lap, took out the comb Albert gave to Cat Shunmao from the pocket of his robe, and asked Harry and Ron smoothly.

"Well, it's been a long time since we went to Hagrid's side." Harry asked Ron, turning his head, "Want to go together?"

"Of course." Ron nodded.

Since the last time Buckbeak escaped, the three of them had never been to Hagrid again in order to avoid suspicion.

It's been a long time since the Buckbeak incident. No one should be paying attention to it. It's a good opportunity to ask Hagrid what happened.

The three of them have always been curious about how Albert had managed to hide Buckbeak out of thin air, and where he hid the eagle-headed horse-winged beast.

Hermione also asked Professor McGonagall, however, the Vanishing Curse obviously couldn't do that, at least Professor McGonagall could not.

After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to go to Hagrid after dinner, so as not to catch mice and make them run out of time to eat. It is not interesting to be hungry at night.

Hermione found Albert who was eating, "Shall we go to Hagrid together?"

"I have something to do. I'll come back later." Albert gave Lee Jordan who was trying to say something, shut his eyes, and continued to eat.

After the three of Harry walked away, Albert turned his head and asked Lee Jordan: "How is your Patronus spell?"

"It's done." Lee Jordan said with a proud chest.

Fred and George joked: "It must be an orangutan!"

"Yes, it's the orangutan." Lee Jordan was a little depressed, and Albert was really accurate.

"Barely catching up," Albert murmured.

"Catch up with what?" Lee Jordan asked puzzledly.

"The last plan, is it going to begin?" George asked in a low voice. He thought it might be because of this incident that Albert asked if Lee Jordan had mastered the Patronus Charm.

"When will it start?" Fred was not stupid, and immediately guessed what it was after being reminded by George.

"I will." Albert said.

"Will?" Lee Jordan is still a little confused, not sure what the situation is now, is it that the plan to capture Black Dog Black is about to begin?

"Do you think that guy is hiding with Hagrid now?"

George was the most attentive of the three, and he immediately realized something. Albert once said that Pettigrew Peter’s Animagus might be a mouse.

It is self-evident where the valuable old mouse is hiding.

Therefore, Albert asked Hermione to take the cat to Hagrid, intending to use the cat named Ke or something to force Peter out of Pettigrew.

Then, the black dog Black was attracted by Peter the mouse, so that he could catch them all.

But, is this really effective?

This idea was quickly suppressed by the three of them. Albert was very shrewd and never did anything unsure. Just look at the eagle-headed horse-winged beast escape incident a while ago.

"I remember Professor Lupin as if..." Fred said in a low voice.

"Today is the full moon." Albert reminded.

At this time, Professor Lu Ping was probably in his office, waiting to get through the painful stage of becoming a werewolf.

"Well, it's right!"

The three of them looked at each other and nodded to show that they understood.

In fact, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were wrong. It was not about Albert's prophecy, but Albert's intention to directly turn the prophecy into reality.

"You go back and make preparations. Use this to stare at the three of Harry. It's not the time for us to play."

"Where are you going?" George asked in confusion, taking the parchment paper and three strange badges, "and what else is this?"

"This thing can block the tracking of the live spot map."

"I said why I couldn't find Albert's date place before. It turns out that this guy already knew how to block the spot map." George put the map in his pocket and gave the badge to Fred and Lee. · Jordan.

Albert intends to go to Professor Lupin, give him a hint, and talk about the restoration of the werewolf curse by the way.

When he rang the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Professor Lupin was sitting behind his desk enjoying dinner.

"Is there anything? Mr. Anderson." Lupin was surprised that someone came to him now.

"Well, something." Albert looked at Professor Lupin, who was slightly pale, and said straightforwardly: "Professor, have you ever heard of the Restoration Curse?

"What kind of magic is that?" Lupin looked at Albert suspiciously. He had realized that the other party came to find himself at this point in time, obviously there was something else.

Albert introduced calmly: "A curse that can restore a werewolf to a human form."

Professor Lu Ping’s face instantly became ugly. He knew what Albert meant by this. The other party obviously knew his identity as a werewolf, but he was relieved very quickly. Albert was too smart. Just watch him ask for leave. It’s not difficult to guess this at the time of day. The other party came to persuade him to leave earlier. I’m afraid this is also the reason.

"Does such a spell really exist?" Lupin put down his fork and asked gently: "I haven't heard a similar spell so far, otherwise the werewolf would not be that scary to everyone."

"Gidro Lockhart mentioned the restoration of the humanoid curse in "Wandering with the Werewolves."

"That's just one piece, and I heard..." Lupin finally didn't say in front of Albert that Guidro Lockhart was a liar.

However, Albert did not have this estimate, and shrugged: "Yes, he is a liar and likes to turn other people's stories into his own."

Lupin was startled by Albert's astonishing words, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"The restoration of the humanoid curse did exist. An old Armenian wizard used it against the Wagga Wagga in Australia." Albert looked at Professor Lupin in a daze, and continued: "It's just that the old wizard was because of Loha. A large part of the memory of the special relationship has been cleaned up, and now it has become a little silly."

"So, this spell is lost." Lupin felt that Guidro Lockhart's end was completely self-blame.

"Forget it, I got the old wizard's notes from Lockhart last year and restored the spell, but I haven't tested the effect of the spell on the werewolf." Albert said why he was here.

Lupin was silent. He finally knew what Albert had come to do with him now. He was going to experiment with himself!

Although Lupin didn't like this kind of thing, he didn't immediately reject Albert's proposal. He knew the importance of restoring the humanoid spell, which was really important to werewolves.

If it works, it can make dangerous werewolves harmless.

As for the wolf poison potion, the thing is too expensive, and the werewolf simply can't afford it.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, interrupting the brief conversation between the two.

"Come in." Lupin said loudly.

The door opened and Snape walked in, with a steaming goblet in his hand, and squinted his eyes when he saw Albert.

"Ah, thanks a lot, Severus." Lupin smiled at Snape. "Will you put it on the desk?"

Snape put down the steaming cup and moved his eyes back and forth between Albert and Lupin, pursing his lips, and whispered, "You should drink it directly, Lupin."

"I will drink it after dinner," Lupin said.

"If I were you, I wouldn't stay here for too long." When Snape left the room, he did not forget to remind Albert, "I think you must know the reason."

Seeing that the door was closed again, Albert retracted his gaze, glanced at the goblet that Snape had brought to Professor Lupin, and said softly: "Lymphomaniac, if you drink too much, it will be harmful to your health. And there will be a slight reduction in lifespan?"

"You know?" Lupin asked curiously.

"Of course I know that I have participated in the improvement of the wolf poison potion." Albert said incredibly calmly, "This thing was originally too expensive and too difficult, so basically no one paid attention. After several generations of improvements, the price of the current thing has been reduced by more than half, and it is easier to cook, and the effect is quite objective, that is, the medicament is relatively toxic and will have a bad effect on the body."

Regardless of whether the wolf poison potion can make werewolves harmless and maintain their sanity, the potion itself is also poisonous.

Albert, as the reformer of the wolf poison potion, is naturally very clear about this matter. Once he drinks too much, this thing is harmful to the body. What's more, this thing is too costly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are still the champion of the Magic School Potions Competition." Lupin's expression quickly returned to normal, and now he finally understands why many professors are pushing Albert very much.

"But, to be honest. This thing is really ugly." Professor Lu Ping couldn't help but vomit.

"Because this thing was not used for drinking in the first place." Albert said in a weird tone: "This thing is used to receive the Merlin Medal. You said there are a few werewolves that can really afford such an expensive potion, even if The price of the improved wolf poison potion is still not affordable for ordinary people."

"You're right." Lupin nodded, feeling that what Albert said was really reasonable. He suddenly asked, "Where is the restoration curse?"

"It's a very complicated spell, and it's still magic in the advanced transformation domain." Albert said calmly: "I'll be honest. Many friends think I should take this opportunity to get the Sir Merlin Medal."

Is it still for the Sir Merlin Medal?

Lupin was silent.

However, in fact, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"Really a mature over-the-top student."

Sitting behind his desk, Lupin couldn’t help showing a wry smile. In fact, he had nothing to refuse, and instinctively told him that he should agree to Albert’s suggestion, even if the other party had already made it clear that it was for the Sir Merlin Medal. The point is true, and the importance of restoring the humanoid mantra cannot be denied.

"Are you going to try this spell on me now?" Professor Lu Ping asked rhetorically.

"Of course not now. I won't take this risk." Albert stood up and said, "Wait for the summer vacation. If you are willing to help, you can treat it as a job, and I will pay you a lot of money. Kanon."

It is normal for Lupin to hesitate. After all, he was using himself as an experiment. Even if Albert said that the spell would be harmless even if it failed, and he was willing to give a large sum of Kanon to thank him for his cooperation.

"If you are willing to help, I can tell you one more secret that I discovered a while ago, a secret that may be related to Black." Albert saw Lupin not speaking, and said mysteriously.

"What's the secret?" Lupin agreed.

"I once saw the name Peter in Hogwarts Castle." Albert said astonishingly.

"what."

Lupin stood up in surprise.

"That thing is actually very useful. You have confiscated Potter's spot map, so you probably don't want him to find Black for revenge!" Albert looked at the spot map placed by Lupin with a smile. Before Lupin opened his mouth, he said, "I used him before the live spot map was handed over to Harry. UU Reading has also seen the name Peter at school. As far as I know, Blake once bombed him. A wizard named Peter died."

"Thank you." Lupin said gratefully.

"You are welcome."

After Albert turned and left, Lupin didn't bother to eat anymore. He picked up the map of the spot and carefully screened the name of Peter in the castle, but he did not find Peter's name among the many names.

Peter has left Hogwarts?

No, if Black is still blocking him outside, he will never escape from the castle.

When Lupin slumped back in his chair, he saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneak out of the castle and went to Hagrid's hunting lodge.

Professor Lupin frowned, stared at the live map in his hand, and checked one side again. He didn't think Albert would deceive or play tricks on himself, because it was unnecessary and would not do that.

I must have missed something.

What will it be?

Lupin regretted not asking clearly just now, he thought Albert must know some secrets.

"If Peter is really alive..." Lupin's heart was very tangled, he knew he had to do something, maybe he should confess everything to Dumbledore.

However, Lupin was afraid to let Dumbledore know that he had failed him, and that guilt would completely swallow his heart.

"Be brave, you should be brave about Lupin, don't run away."

Lupin slapped his face and muttered, "Harry has no family, he can't lose his godfather anymore.

Lupin decided to wait until tomorrow to get back to him, and then go to Albert. The other party must know something. He must find out if Peter is really alive, and then go to Dumbledore and confess what he knows to the other party. , Only Dumbledore can help Blake in a difficult situation.
