Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 342 The plot is in progress!

Snape walked in, holding a goblet that was steaming slightly in his hand.

"Remus!...This is your potion!"

With a malicious look on his face, Snape purposely went too far to pass Harry and McGuffin, letting them see the potion in his hand.

—— Wolfbane potion?

McGuffin thought.

However, unlike Harry next to him who was staring at the cup of potion worriedly, he lowered his eyes slightly, neither staring at it suddenly, nor showing a look of indifference.

Otherwise, the old bat would definitely be suspicious.

"Ah! Thank you, Severus! Will you put it on the desk?"

Snape put the potion that was still bubbling and bubbling on the desk, and squinted at MacGuffin and Harry.

"I heard, Albert, Potter! You two are causing trouble down there again!"

"Albus is cleaning up the mess for you again. If I were the headmaster, I would definitely punish you more, instead of leaving you in the magic village...or let Filch resume hanging and whipping, maybe this will make you remember more!"

Snape's words were full of malice.

McGuffin kicked Harry lightly from the side, and the guy just lowered his head and stopped staring at Snape so much.

Harry's original mood because of Professor Lupine's recovery was even worse.

"Professor Snape, we can't just look at little wizards on the surface. Harry and MacGuffin are actually two very sensible little wizards, just a little bit unlucky!"

Professor Lupine defended them.

"Yeah! One can't just look at the surface, can't you...Professor Lupine!"

Snape said pointedly.

His eyes moved back and forth between Harry and Professor Lupine, pausing slightly on the potion in the middle.

——The action intention is very obvious!
"Oh... I just received the Grindylow for next class, and I'm showing it to Harry and McGuffin!"

"It's fascinating!" Snape said, but his eyes were fixed on Harry and the potion.

The intention was very obvious, reminding Harry that there was something wrong with that bottle of potion.

Let him find out who Lupine really is, and stay away from this werewolf.

McGuffin lowered his head, and tried to suppress the smile in his heart with the [Occlumency Technique] that had just been promoted to the master level in the past two months.

——This scene is too funny.

Professor Snape Severus had wary eyes, using almost all the muscles of his face, various micro-expressions...to remind Harry that Lupine is a very dangerous werewolf.

In the end it even almost made it clear that there was something wrong with Lupine and the potion he brought over.

But Harry's reaction to Snape's face was always that disgusted, wary expression.

Letting the old bat's hard work be a waste of time, he choked so much that he asked Professor Lupine directly with blank eyes.

"Lupine, shouldn't you just drink it? You know that...you have to..."

"I'll drink it," said Lupine.

Harry still didn't get it.

"I've made a pot full," said Snape, "what more do you want? You know the situation will be worse tomorrow..."

"Well, I'll drink more tomorrow, thanks, Severus."

"You're welcome!"

Snape gritted his teeth almost in a tone of hatred, watching what Harry said.

—Why doesn't this idiot understand.

Don't you have any doubts and curiosity about what the bottle of potion is?

In the end Snape could only stare at Lupine with a warning look, and slowly exited the room expressionlessly.

McGuffin almost laughed out loud watching this 'scheming'.

Finally, after Snape was gone, Harry 'finally' had time to start looking at the goblet with curious eyes.

Lupine smiled and explained, "Professor Snape seems to have concocted a potion for me."

"This kind of potion...only a few potion masters in Europe can make it successfully."

He took a small sip, wrinkled his chin, saw that the cup of potion was disgusting, and retched a few times.

Looking at Harry's worried expression, he said, "Unfortunately, no sugar can be added."

Seeing Harry's expression of wanting to grab the potion and throw it away, McGuffin almost laughed again.

Perhaps Lupine saw the twitching expression on McGuffin's face, and he pointed to the MacGuffin and said, "As you can see, I really can't teach you today...Maybe MacGuffin, you can teach Harry the tricks of [Occlumency] first...Of course, you can ask Professor Snape to help..."

"No! Professor, we have to go to the library to write papers later?"

After saying this, seeing Lupine about to drink the potion made Harry even more anxious, and he even said directly to Lupine, "Professor, if you are sick, it would be better to ask Madam Pomfrey to take a look!"

"After all, Professor Snape is very interested in the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts...!"

With the last few words, Harry focused on increasing his volume, trying to arouse Professor Lupine's interest.

It looks exactly the same hint as before.

McGuffin felt like his appendix was about to start throbbing.

Lupine looked at Harry staring at the goblet in his hand with wary eyes, as if he understood something, with a very helpless expression on his face.

Seeing that Professor Lupine didn't realize what he meant, and still wanted to drink the cup of potion, Harry hurried on, "Some people think that he will do whatever it takes to get this position...including poisoning..."

"Gollum!"

Apparently Harry's direct accusation against Snape had somewhat frightened Professor Lupine.

He was afraid that Harry would say something else, so he frowned and drank the potion in the goblet in one gulp.

The extremely nasty potion made the expression on the professor's face extremely distorted.

--ah!No, my stomach hurts so much!

MacGuffin, who suppressed a smile, lowered his head, his shoulders were shaking constantly, and his teeth were grinding and rattling.

"It's terrible! Harry, I still have something to do... See you at the dinner party! By the way, stay here, McGuffin, I have something to talk to you alone!"

said Lupine.

Harry looked at the goblet very worriedly, opened his mouth, but still didn't dare to speak out directly that he thought Snape was poisoned.

He looked suspiciously at the strange-looking MacGuffin, and pulled the door shut.

--boom!

Only McGuffin and Professor Lupine were left in the room.

After a few silent breaths, McGuffin finally calmed down and his stomach was no longer cramped.

Lupine made himself a cup of scented tea, added a few cubes of sugar to it, stirred it a few times, and took a sip before he said.

"Albert! Perhaps . . . do you know something?"

It was a meaningful temptation, but McGuffin immediately understood that his performance just now aroused Professor Lupine's suspicion.

——But it's not his fault, who made Harry's 'scheming' vividly displayed, it looked so funny to him who knew the inside story, even the improved [Occlumency] couldn't stop him from laughing so hard that his stomach cramped.

Without laughing on the spot, his [Occlumency] has already made great progress.

But McGuffin is not yet the time to directly expose Lupine's identity as a werewolf. Who knows what kind of butterfly effect will be caused by spreading all this out.

And he was too embarrassed to directly point out Lupine's identity as a werewolf, which was too hurtful.

Carefully avoiding Professor Lupine's probing eyes, McGuffin answered the probing question in the same vague way.

"Professor, I think you should treat your disease in another way. I heard what you said... Tomorrow, I will drink this potion brewed by Professor Snape. It seems that it only has a temporary healing effect. You should find a more curative method."

"Just like the [Blood Curse] on me, I also know that [Occlumency] can only slightly delay the erosion process of the [Blood Curse]... But I believe that I will find a way to solve this curse, just like I forced it back then..."

McGuffin hesitated for a moment, but called out the Dark Lord's name directly, "... Voldemort... just give me the method to break the curse!"

He felt that this was more imposing and convincing.

"There's always a way!"

For some reason, facing this werewolf wizard who was destined to be a miserable life since childhood, McGuffin felt a little empathetic, and even almost revealed a little bit of his inner plan.

Professor Lupine stared in amazement at this almost daring young wizard.

He had already understood that the little wizard Dumbledore noticed was unusual, but he didn't even think about the Dark Lord at all.

Say this outrage.

——It’s so fearless!
The two looked at each other tacitly.

These words are combined with his performance just now. Professor Lupine already understands that this little wizard knows his identity as a werewolf, otherwise this little wizard would not directly mention the [blood curse] on himself.

But it seems that the little wizard doesn't intend to tell others.

"I understand!" Professor Lupine said with a helpless smile, "I also hope that I can find a suitable method to treat my disease."

"Albert, if possible... I hope we can get through this semester safely."

"Of course!" McGuffin replied affirmatively. "At least Professor Lupine, you are the most reliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor I have ever seen!"

"I guess it will be difficult to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in charge like you in the next few years!"

"Really?" Lupine finally said with a cough and a smile. "It is estimated that very few people will say that..."

"Well, don't keep Harry waiting! You can go, Albert!"

Professor Lupine watched the unusually mature little wizard in front of him exit the door, then turned his head and looked at the goblet that had been emptied of potion and was still slowly steaming.

He sighed softly, and his voice echoed in the office for a long time, accompanied by the sound of Grindylow spit water bubbles from the glass water tank.

……

Walking out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, McGuffin's mind echoed the conversation with Professor Lupine, and he felt that he had lost his words.

But thinking about it carefully, I didn't say anything serious.

At most, he could imagine that he already knew Lupine's identity as a werewolf, and that he was working alone to break the [Blood Curse] on him.

Based on the intelligence asymmetry, no one will know, or speculate about, the MacGuffin plan.

This is an action that only a McGuffin who knows the development of the plot can prepare.

Anyway, he originally wanted to promote the development of the plot...to avoid accidents, and if it goes well, he was not expected to do too many things...

But where did Harry go?
At this moment, McGuffin raised his head and realized that the little wizard was gone.

Harry should have been waiting for him at the door.

"Harry?"

McGuffin called his name along the corridor.

"I'm here!"

Harry's faint voice came from around a corner in the corridor.

His tone was full of weakness and panic.

"Come and see..."

The voice is gone.

McGuffin thought something happened to him and ran over quickly.

Turning the corner, McGuffin immediately gasped, he saw...

A big black dog like a bear was lying there.

He was covered in dirt and dust, with matted black fur.

Skinny, you can even see your ribs when you breathe in and out of your chest.

The big dog was lying on the ground, its extremely ferocious head full of fangs was leaning weakly on its front legs.

He was struggling to stick out his tongue and gasped for breath.

Every quick breath makes the belly shrink tightly and stick to the bones, as if there is no stomach and abdomen inside.

Even in such pain, his pale eyes still stared at Harry softly without saying a word.

(But Harry was still scared and took a step back, slumped on the ground)
When the McGuffin approached Harry, the big dog immediately turned its head, opened its mouth wide, bared its fangs, and let out a low, dangerous whimper.

It's like warning McGuffin!
Ma Ma,
McGuffin's scalp went numb all of a sudden!
——Is this plot collapse (si)?
McGuffin saw at a glance that this guy should be Harry's godfather,

Sirius Black turned into an Animagus.

—Does Harry know?
No, no!
The two of them should not have communicated, otherwise the situation would not be so peaceful now, and before catching Scabbers, that is, Peter Pettigrew, Black should not expose himself so easily.

Just as McGuffin was trying to figure out what happened to Sirius, the big dog in front, (so much so that he had to stay in this very dangerous campus corridor for a wanted man from the Ministry of Magic...)
Harry said weakly: "McGuffin, you saw it too, isn't this... that unknown!"

"It's the bad omen that Professor Trelawney said, the worst omen..."

He just thought that Professor Trelawney's prophecy about himself was about to come true.

But now seeing the expression of McGuffin's eyes about to drop to the ground, Harry actually felt much better in his heart.

——I didn’t see it alone, so it should be fine!
