HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Tsk, who are you showing this to?" Draco smacked his lips, walked up and poked Harry's chest.

"You are the savior, but you can't even solve such a small matter? Aren't there enough healers who can't find potions masters? Or is it that the troll's head is so full of sphinx that he can't think of anything else?"

"It's not like I haven't thought about it. Lupin also asked Dumbledore, and he said Snape is not in the UK. I also wrote to Reina, but she couldn't be contacted. What use can I be if the adults can't do anything about it? I don't want to be a savior. You can be one if you want to." Harry waved Draco's hand away.

Draco paused after hearing this, and the following words were taken to heart. He gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and then quickly unclenched them.

"Hey, what do you mean you can't contact Lena? We've only been on vacation for a few days." Theodore noticed Draco's actions, he reached out and put his hand on Draco's shoulder and asked Harry.

"Whether it means literally or not, I don't know. Because on Christmas Day Reina said she would go find Snape, but Dumbledore said Snape might lose contact, so I wrote a letter to Reina, but there was no news." Harry shook his head. He also found it strange that even Dumbledore couldn't find anyone.

"It should be fine if he's with Professor Snape." Theodore analyzed.

"Then why don't we just wait for Professor Snape to come back? You're making people think that Black is finally going to die. What a waste of time." Draco snorted coldly, then put one hand in his pocket and raised his chin to look at Harry.

"Listen, Potter, don't show your childish temper. You are a Gryffindor, but look at you. What's the difference between you and a stray dog ​​on the street? You don't want to be the savior? Humph, so what? The savior is neither me nor Nott. Even Dumbledore can't catch up and chose you. Are you going to commit suicide to give up the position of savior? What a joke. Wake up, idiot. Everyone has something on their backs. You talk as if you can choose. Go back to your Muggle world with your insignificant melancholy and sentimentality, you brainless guy."

Draco pushed Harry away with his shoulder and prepared to leave with Theodore.

"Draco." Harry turned sideways and called him.

"You make it sound so easy, but if you had a choice, what would you do?"

Draco, who had his back to Harry, did stop and showed a disdainful smile on his face. He twirled the silver ring on his hand, pulled his sleeve and said without saying anything: "What does it matter if I am the savior or not? Whether I choose or not, I will always be a Slytherin."

He waved his hands and walked forward, leaving only his back to the few people.

?

The next day, Snape and Reina were sent away by Grindelwald with an impatient look on their faces. Compared to entering Nurmengard lying down, this time the two returned to the old house in Talros awake.

Snape found the owl sent by Dumbledore in the yard, and he and Reina rushed back to England without stopping.

"Why did you follow me? Have you become that guy?" Snape stood at an alley in Grimmauld Place, looking at Rena in front of him, waiting for the aging potion she drank to take effect.

Reina's appearance after getting older is a little different from now. Leaving aside her temperament, what is visible to the naked eye is that her face has lost its childishness and has become more three-dimensional and mature. Her figure has also been highlighted on the existing basis, but her height does not seem to have changed much.

"Are you joking on purpose?" Lena gave him a reproachful look and put on an ordinary wizard robe to cover the shirt underneath that was no longer fitting.

Snape lowered his folded hands and looked in the direction of No. 12, but the corners of his mouth that were originally raised immediately retracted when he saw Lupin looking at him from a distance.

Lupin was supposed to take a few children to Diagon Alley today by the fireplace. After telling them to go home on time, he bought some potions that he didn't know if they would be useful, and then Apparated directly in front of the Black family's house. Unexpectedly, he ran into Snape, and seeing that there seemed to be someone else in the alley opposite him, Lupin suppressed the idea of ​​going up to invite him in.

After all, Snape must have known the news when he appeared here, so Lupin unconsciously began to think about Snape's "loss of contact" for less than a day. He became even more confused after seeing Rena following Snape, but he also knew that he would probably not get a direct answer.

"Good afternoon, Professor Lupin." Reina was the first to greet.

Lupin responded with a smile, then looked at Snape and said, "Let's go in first. Sirius is still... a little weak."

Snape nodded his head twice very faintly, but there was a look of gloating on his face that was visible to the naked eye, even though he did not laugh openly.

Lupin pursed his lips, opened the door and led the two into the house.

"Is Headmaster Dumbledore here now?" Reina asked.

"I left early this morning to send Harry and the others to Diagon Alley, but I can ask him to come back again."

As soon as Lupin finished speaking, the three people who walked into the living room on the second floor saw Dumbledore sitting on the sofa.

"Haha, I came uninvited as soon as Severus had any news, Remus." Dumbledore raised the tea in his hand towards them.

Oh, and there's Sirius across from me, who's about to melt into the sofa.

"Ah - a pile of dead bodies emitting black air. This is the first time I smell fresh air without any foul smell in No. 12." Snape looked at Sirius, who looked decadent, and said jokingly with raised eyebrows.

"That's a pity, Severus. It seems you have to destroy the air you like with your own hands. After all, this air is not beautiful to other people. Thank you for your help." Dumbledore asked Snape with a smile.

Snape rolled his eyes silently, then stood in front of Sirius and waved his wand to examine him.

Reina and Lupin sat down on one side. Looking at the relieved Lupin, Reina started a conversation.

"Professor Lupin and Mr. Black have a great relationship, but you should also be more concerned about your surroundings, and so should Headmaster Dumbledore."

After saying that, Reina picked up the teacup mysteriously.

Dumbledore naturally knew that Reina was alluding to the curse, but Lupin, still concerned, did not immediately remember the rumor that had been confirmed for a long time.

"So, it's better to take the Christmas present I gave you."

This woke Lupin up. On Christmas Day, Reina gave him a ring that didn't look like a gift from him. Since it didn't quite suit his style, he just smiled it off as a token of his student's kindness.

He used his wand to summon the emerald ring, and upon closer inspection he discovered that ancient runes were engraved on the ring.

"You mean, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's curse?" Lupin fumbled with the ring and looked at Dumbledore again.

"I thought I could ask Severus to increase the substitute teaching hours when the moon is full, but it is indeed time to recruit professors again."

Dumbledore sighed again after he finished speaking. In order to avoid being unable to recruit teachers, he had to spend a lot of time and energy on this every year. He also had to consider whether to ask Alastor to help as the next professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
