Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"Leave quickly, don't look at me..."

Sirius was stunned when he saw Lupin's reaction and heard him speak. He didn't bother to change into human form, but just used the state of a big black dog and spoke human language:

"You did it, Douglas? Remus, Remus, you did it! Haha!"

Douglas had taken out a notebook and was writing something on it. After hearing Sirius' words, he reminded:

"You'd better change back to human form and speak human language, you look too weird.

Remus, don't be too nervous. I know you hate your werewolf form, but you can't avoid seeing a doctor. I need to observe your condition carefully before I can determine how to use the medicine next."

Sirius also changed back to human form, stepped forward and hugged Lupin who was covering his face, and said in a choked voice:

"Moony (Lupin's nickname), I'm still here... I'm still here... Prongs would be so happy to see you like this..."

Lupin slowly took away his wolf claws, revealing his tearful wolf face, but he carefully hid his claws behind his back, fearing that he would accidentally hurt Sirius and Douglas.

Douglas pulled Sirius away and carefully observed Lupin's condition.

He had never seen other werewolves who drank wolfsbane potion before, so he really had no way to compare.

However, he still carefully asked Lupin about his current feelings and condition.

After learning that the other party was fine, Douglas took out a prepared sheet and asked Lupin to wrap himself around it.

It was then that Lupin remembered that he was still naked. Although it was difficult to see the blush on his werewolf-like face, Sirius and Douglas could still feel it from his eyes.

In order to take care of Lupin's emotions, the two turned their backs and left the rest to Lupin.

Lupin was very moved by the two men's actions. How much trust must one have in someone to leave their back to a werewolf?

After Lupin tied the bed sheet around his waist, Douglas asked Lupin to get up and walk a few steps.

Lupin nodded. It was his first time controlling a werewolf's body while awake, and it was also a novelty for him...

Douglas looked around Lupin and asked:

"How do you feel now compared to when you were a werewolf?"

Lupin thought for a moment and said:

"The mania has subsided. I clearly remember my behavior every time I transformed into a werewolf. It was a primitive mania, but now I don't feel that mania. In fact, my mind is extremely clear, and I am full of strength, a power that I can control..."

Douglas nodded, then drew his wand and said:

"Next, I may need you to cooperate with me in doing some small tests..."

Sirius immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Douglas, what are you going to do? This is not what we discussed before..."

Douglas explained:

"Just some ordinary magical tests. I need to get a real wolfsbane to study.

Of course, I heard that the Human Form Restoration Charm can force a werewolf to return to human form, so I want to try it. If it works, then every time someone interferes, then I don’t have to stay in werewolf form all night...”

Lupin, in his werewolf form, lowered his head and said doubtfully:

"Isn't the Humanoid Charm the counter-spell to the Animagus? Why haven't I heard it can be used on werewolves?"

Douglas said lightly:

"Oh, there's a book called 'Wandering with Werewolves' that mentions a wizard who once subdued a werewolf in Wagga Wagga and used a re-humanization spell to turn him back into a normal human."

Because Lupin had always lived in poverty, he had never read Gilderoy Lockhart's books.

But Sirius, who had been catching up on more than ten years of knowledge about the wizarding world, reacted instantly.

"Wasn't that book written by a con man who was caught last year... Douglas, you actually used a con man's methods to experiment on Lupin?"

Douglas shook his head and said:

"Gilderoy Lockhart is a liar, but the content of his book is not necessarily a scam, because those are other people's experiences that he deceived, so there is still a certain degree of authenticity..."

Lupin, in werewolf form, sat down on the ground, looked Douglas straight in the eye and said:

"Come on, I'm willing to try... Padfoot..."

Sirius nodded and stood aside.

Douglas pointed his wand at Lupin and chanted the spell.

A white light flashed, and Lupin's body gradually changed. The wolf hair on his body disappeared, his sharp claws and large fangs retracted, and the wolf's mouth became slightly more protruding than a normal person's mouth.

Lupin tightened the bed sheet again, then stood up from the ground and looked carefully at his hands and feet. Although they had not completely recovered to the form of an ordinary person, this condition was already very good.

Even if someone saw him at this moment, it would be difficult to guess what his relationship was with the werewolf.

But Douglas seemed not very satisfied. His original magic should not have just this effect. It might be that werewolves' magic resistance was much higher than that of ordinary wizards.

After observing for a while, he asked:

"How do you feel now!"

Lupin smiled with tears in his eyes and said:

"Excellent, absolutely wonderful..."

After his mouth turned into a human mouth, Lupin spoke much more clearly than before.

Douglas wrote all of this down in his notes, intending to go back and look for the relevant information in the system.

Go for a morning run the next day.

The students were surprised to find that Professor Lupin had returned.

And he looks in very good condition and very energetic.

The students greeted Lupin happily. Hermione in the crowd frowned and looked at Lupin.

That’s not right. It’s very wrong. This is different from what is written in the book.

There was a full moon last night. If Professor Lupin was a werewolf, he should be weak and pale today. But why does he look much more energetic than before?

As for whether he had drunk some potion, Hermione shook her head decisively. Looking at the old robes Professor Lupin was wearing, he didn't look like someone who could afford that kind of potion.

She looked around and didn't see Douglas exercising on the lawn.

I haven't had time to talk to Douglas alone about Professor Lupin before. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that I was wrong...

She wasn't the only one in the crowd who had this thought.

During the days that Snape was substituting for the class, he intentionally or unintentionally deducted points from a group of students, and then asked them to copy the book during the detention class.

Many of the students began to wonder if Lupin was a werewolf because of certain characteristics and circumstances.

On the first day after the full moon night, Professor Lupin not only appeared, but was not in the weak state described in the book.

This situation has dispelled the doubts of many people...

Seeing Lupin come back, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because he doubted whether Lupin was a werewolf, but because he was glad that he finally didn't have to see Snape outside of Potions class.

The recent detention classes were his nightmare. He was deducted five points for not turning pages for his classmates, five points for messy handwriting, and five points for not asking Professor Snape for permission before entering the classroom...

If Professor Lupin didn't come back, he felt that he would have to take detention this semester.

At the same time, the investigation of the Charon Detective Agency, which had been at a stalemate, could continue.

Because Douglas had told him before that if he wanted to open a breakthrough, he had to start with Lupin...

Chapter 211 An unexpected visit

lunch time.

Inside the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

Douglas, Lupin, and Sirius were having lunch together and chatting.

It seemed that Lupin was in a very good mood at the moment, and his appetite was much larger than usual.

"It's amazing, I've never felt this good before, it's like a dream..."

Sirius was also happy for Lupin and said angrily:

"I really want to see what Slug will look like when he knows your current state. Don't think that I don't understand what he has done these days. When I get the wand..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Through the peephole behind the door, the person turned out to be Professor Snape.

Douglas glanced at Lupin and Sirius, both of whom had very different expressions.

Douglas reacted quickly. Before Sirius could even curse, B dragged him to the fireplace and kicked him inside. He then activated the teleportation magic, leaving only Sirius' words in the room:

"Give me the wand..."

Douglas then handed Sirius's bowl and chopsticks to Dobby and said:

"Go and watch him, don't let him do anything wrong."

After Dobby entered the fireplace, Douglas first temporarily sealed the fireplace connection.

Then he walked to the door and opened it. The moment the door opened, Snape, who had been expressionless, suddenly looked a little ferocious. He pushed Douglas aside and walked into the room.

Lupin looked at Snape with a smile and said:

"Good afternoon, Professor Snape, have you eaten? Douglas's lunch is pretty good..."

Snape took a close look at Lupin, then glanced at the food on the table, and said coldly:

"go out!"

Douglas coughed lightly, stepped forward and said:

"Professor, what's going on? Do you want to eat something together..."

Before Douglas finished speaking, Snape glared at him and said to Lupin again:

"Get out. I need to have a formal (gritting teeth) professorial exchange with Professor Holmes..."

Lupin showed a helpless expression, shrugged and said:

"This is Douglas' office, I don't think you can Snape..."

Snape interrupted Lupin again and sneered at Douglas:

"Holmes, I don't want our communication to be spread to a werewolf..."

Douglas rubbed his head. He really didn't want to get involved in the troubles of these people.

Fortunately, Lupin saw Douglas's embarrassment and took the initiative to say:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Douglas. It was a great lunch. I think I should go back to the office first. If there is anything, Douglas, please call me in time."

Douglas nodded. He understood the meaning of Lupin's last words and was worried that Sirius would rush back again and have a conflict with Snape.

But at this time Snape raised his eyebrows and said:

"No need to be hypocritical. If Holmes has any problem, I, his Potions Professor, will naturally help him..."

Douglas rolled his eyes and admitted that I was your Potions student.

Lupin smiled and left Douglas' office.

Douglas embarrassedly walked Lupin to the door, and just as he turned around, he saw Snape pulling out his wand and pointing at the food on the table.

Douglas said from behind:

"It's just some regular food. Do you want to join in?"

Snape ignored Douglas's words. When he found that the food on the table was indeed some ordinary ingredients, he flicked his wand and the food on the table disappeared. Then he said with disgust:

"You're quite bold to eat with a werewolf... Where's the food?"

Douglas glared at Snape as he watched the food disappear right before his eyes.

Then he snorted coldly, took out a small box from the cabinet and tossed it to Snape.

He had guessed that Snape would come looking for him, so he left some behind when he brewed the wolfsbane potion.

After Snape opened the box and saw five potions of different colors, he opened them one by one and smelled them.

After thinking for a while, he said disdainfully:

"Hmph, you insisted on brewing five pots when one could have done the trick... You used five times the ingredients, but the potency was only a tenth as strong... Your new formula is not something a poor werewolf can afford... Besides, his current condition is not even close to the effects of wolfsbane potion..."
