Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 81 You made me doubt my teacher?

Lupin never imagined he would hear that name from Harry.

Severus Snape, tutoring James's son?

This statement is utterly absurd just to be said, let alone to actually happen!

Regarding Snape, Lupin only knew that after Vanderbilt lost power, he gained Dumbledore's trust and went to work at Hogwarts, but he didn't know what role Snape played in the deaths of James and Lily.

Even so, given Lupin's understanding of Snape, it's impossible that he wouldn't have any objections to James's son.

Even if this child is Lily's son, it doesn't matter!

As someone who personally experienced those events, Lupin understood just how much Snape hated his best friend!

Why would Snape be so kind as to offer to be Harry's teacher?

unless
Unless he has ulterior motives!
Lupin seemed to have thought of something; he looked down and stared seriously at Harry.

“Although I don’t understand why Dumbledore agreed to let Snape go find you, Harry, your teacher and your father have a terrible relationship! So terrible that they are practically mortal enemies!”

"Think carefully about whether Snape genuinely considers you a student or if he has ulterior motives! For example, how did you get here? How did you end up in danger?"

Upon hearing Lupin's words, Harry's expression instinctively turned cold, and he angrily shook off Lupin's hand that was gripping his arm.

“I know what the teacher has done, and I understand the hatred between him and me, but you shouldn’t make me suspect that he wants to harm me!”

Harry's reaction left Lupin completely bewildered.

He stared blankly at the boy in front of him, subconsciously thinking that Snape must have given him some kind of spell!

Otherwise, how could James and Lily's eldest son speak up for Snape?

Lupin took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and spoke sincerely to Harry.

"Harry, I won't go into the rights and wrongs of your school days. As for who was right and who was wrong back then, I'm not qualified to comment because of my relationship with James. But I can say for sure that Severus Snape was definitely not a genuinely kind or good person. He may have had his merits, but he also did many bad things and followed the wrong people—the very people who killed your parents."

"Enough!" Harry reacted fiercely. "You think the teacher kept this from me? He told me the whole truth from the beginning!"

Lupin's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

This is both a statement about Harry's protectiveness of Snape and a direct message to Harry.

“People don’t stay the same forever.” Harry stared intently into Lupin’s eyes. “I know you’re prejudiced against the teacher’s past! But the teacher I know isn’t like that!”

"Ever since he took me out of Aunt Penny's house, he's kept nothing from me! He told me that he's my enemy, that he's involved in my parents' deaths, but that he's willing to teach me everything he knows, so that once I become a real wizard, I can rightfully seek revenge on him!"

"He led me to save an innocent vampire and a disabled girl, taught me all sorts of common sense about the magical world, and showed me just how love can change a person! I believe everything he told me is true and comes from the bottom of his heart! I believe him!"

Lu Ping, pale-faced, staggered back two steps.

He listened to Harry's story as if it were a fantastical tale.

Is that Snape?
Was the teacher Harry mentioned really Snape?

After what seemed like an eternity of time, Lupin finally asked, still unwilling to give up.

"Did he ever tell you why he took you in as a student and taught you just to train your enemy to kill you? Why would he do that?" Harry moved his lips, but finally gave the answer.

He said, he said he was sorry to my mother.

Lupin was speechless.

If there is one answer that can convince Lupin that Snape will change, then there can only be this one answer.

But if Lily's death changed Snape, why did he wait until now to take Harry away?

And Dumbledore, does Dumbledore know about this?

Even though Lupin had learned some things from Harry, his mind was still a complete mess!
His doubts and confusion grew, and there was also the Snape that Harry had mentioned. If he hadn't seen him with his own eyes, even if Lupin were to be hit with a Confusion Charm, he still couldn't imagine what Snape would be like.

But Lupin remained calm and composed.

He quickly realized that thinking about these things in the current situation was pointless.

The biggest problem they face right now is how to escape from this den of wolves!

Once Lupin was certain that the boy in front of him was Harry, his only thought was to protect him and get him out of there unharmed.

"Let's not talk about that now, Harry. Whether it's true or not, we'll only know for sure after we get out of here."

Just as Lupin finished speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the cave.

The werewolves who had gone out with Greyback have returned!

However, they looked extremely disheveled, with two of them clearly covered in blood, and there were three fewer of them than before they left!

Graybury's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he shouted angrily.

"Shameless traitor! Despicable villain! He's more wicked than the most cunning goblin! The Dark Lord will punish him! He will punish him!!"

He shouted, but his hands did not stop moving. He instructed his men to bring the captured children and Lu Ping, and to get the door key that had been prepared in advance.

They clearly wanted to escape!

Lupin didn't know what was happening, but he clearly sensed that this was a golden opportunity!

However, he didn't even have a wand, and in his desperation, he could only leave something behind deep inside the cave.

Then, under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen werewolves, he was forced to take the child with him and touch the door key, disappearing from the spot!

After watching them leave, Graybury led his men to use other keyless entry points to move out of the cave.

Not long after they left, the boulder that had been blocking the entrance to the cave was suddenly sliced ​​in two by an invisible blade!
"boom!"

The sound of falling gravel was deafening, and a cloud of dust rose up at the same time.

The next moment, three blood-stained figures emerged from the dust and arrived at the cliffside cave abandoned by the werewolves.
