Chapter 265 Monster

Professor Lupin's office was very different from Lockhart's.

Zhang Xiao still remembered that Lockhart's office was filled with his own portraits, and the most eye-catching one was the huge gilt-rimmed silver-plated full-length mirror with claws that could move on its own.

Although it seems exaggerated, I have to admit that Lockhart uses good things, at least for the price, they are indeed good things.

Professor Luping's office is very simple, everything has an old feel, and there are some photos on the table.

It's just that no one is there now, just an empty background.

There was a stove next to the two of them, and a black cast-iron kettle was simmering on the stove.

There was a large water tank in the corner. A sickly green guy with small pointed horns pressed his face against the glass, making faces and stretching out his slender claws.

This is Grindylow.

"Water monster." Lu Ping noticed Zhang Xiao's gaze and said with a smile, "It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with it. The secret is to destroy its claws.

Did you notice those abnormally long claws? Strong, but fragile.

I think a "strengthening force" can make them escape far away. "

Grindylow bared his green teeth and buried himself in a mess of water plants in the corner of the tank.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" said Lupine, looking around for something.

"Okay." Zhang Xiao agreed happily.

Zhengchou doesn't know how to contact Professor Luping. It would be great if Sirius was here. Friends introduce friends.

"Where are the tea leaves?" Lupine mumbled and simply raised his wand: "Okay—'the tea cans are flying'!"

A small tin can flew out of the trash can.

The smile on Lupine's face froze. He hurriedly waved his wand to make the jar fly back, and said awkwardly:

"Sorry, it seems I forgot that I finished drinking the tea yesterday."

Zhang Xiao spread his hands: "Of course it doesn't matter. I often forget whether I have done my homework. Professor, you know."

Lu Ping couldn't help laughing, and the awkward atmosphere just now subsided a lot. What Zhang said was the most common excuse among young wizards-'Professor! I swear I really did my homework. Someone must have used Cleaner to clear my homework. I really remember it! ’

"It just so happened that my family mailed me some tea from China. Why don't we try it together?"

Zhang Xiao opened his Qiankun bag, rummaged for a while, and picked out a bag of tea with no label but a large amount. After drinking the tea, he was not going to take it back.

Are there still little wizards who carry tea with them?

Lu Ping watched with some surprise as Zhang Xiao took out a large bag of things from a small bag that was only as big as a palm. Then he remembered Sirius' letter to him and decisively chose to shut his mouth.

To be able to make Sirius, who was already very rich, say the adjective "unfathomable" was beyond the limits of Lupine's imagination.

But just as he never thought of getting financial help from Sirius even though he was down and out, what does Zhang Xiao's wealth have to do with him?

Lupine did not refuse, and tapped the kettle with his wand, and it flew up on its own, pouring boiling hot water into the two teacups.

"Zhang, it's actually like this -" Lu Ping handed over a cup of tea. There was a gap in the tea cup.

Zhang Xiao took the tea cup and made a listening gesture.

"H-how do you say this?" Lupine looked a little irritated. He hesitated for a while, recalling the conversation with Dumbledore in his mind.

"Remus, I have a great idea, if you'd like."

"Nice idea?"

"Yes, about your nightmare, your biggest fear, I think you can have a good talk with your student, 'Zhang' from China."

"Student? Dumbledore, but what can a student do? I admit that Zhang should be an excellent student, but with all due respect, the student may be helpless to me - to my problem."

Lupine still remembered the smile on Dumbledore's face: "Remus, Zhang Keyi is far more outstanding than you think. Even I now value his opinions many times.

Moreover, the magic of the East is very different from ours. We seem to have taken two completely opposite paths.

Do you know what this means? "

Dumbledore said meaningfully: "It means that many problems that seem to have no solution to us may have solutions in the East, and the same is true in the East.

I have experienced it deeply. In the East, there are very mature solutions for problems that I originally thought would have to be solved at the cost of my life.

This discovery directly caused me to overturn all my original plans. "

"Remus, I really hope you try this."

Zhang Xiao watched Lu Ping pick up the tea cup and fell into visible annoyance and entanglement.

At this time, just let the other person calm down. He must be struggling with whether to tell himself that he is a werewolf, right?

I picked up the tea cup and blew on the foam. It was still very hot, but suitable for sipping.

After a while, Lu Ping finally came back to his senses, sighed softly, and said hesitantly:

"Zhang actually. Well. I'd say. Dumbledore suggested me. Sigh."

Zhang Xiao put down the tea cup and suddenly asked: "Professor, you want to say that you are a werewolf, don't you?"

Lupin's face suddenly turned pale. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiao, then he looked away in panic, his eyes dodging.

"Ah? Oh, you know, you know? How did you know?"

Zhang Xiao did not answer directly. Lupin was very nervous now. If he talked about this issue, he would become more and more nervous.

So the best way is to change to a lighter topic, divert attention, and wait for the professor to recover.

The little tricks learned in the previous life are simple but practical. After thinking about it, he picked up the teacup and raised it to Lupin.

Smiled and said, "Professor, how does the tea taste?"

"Ah?" Lupin was stunned, but still subconsciously said: "Very good. But Zhang, how did you know-"

"Professor, Sirius has been looking forward to meeting you. Let's go to Hogsmeade together next weekend?"

"Ah? Okay but"

"Professor, Harry too."

"Ah? Okay, I still want to know"

Why is it useless?

Zhang Xiao sighed, chose to give up, and immediately chose to use Dumbledore as a shield:

"It's like this, Professor Dumbledore told me."

"Dumbledore?" Lupin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair. If it was Dumbledore, there would be no problem.

Not much is known about his werewolf identity, and this identity is very useful. At least Dumbledore needs to go to the werewolf community to get their dynamics.

As Voldemort's most loyal followers, once the Dark Lord makes another move, the werewolves will be the first to know.

So it is quite necessary for me to be an undercover, as long as it is not leaked.

And Dumbledore should have guessed that he would be hesitant, so he told Zhang in advance, right?

Lupin finally relaxed again, and he said apologetically:

"Zhang, most wizards are afraid of werewolves, I don't want to scare you"

Zhang Xiao nodded, just listen quietly at this time.

"Of course, you don't have to worry. Professor Snape has brewed wolfsbane potion for me. I will drink the potion when the moon is full and stay here quietly, so don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

Lupin crossed his hands on his abdomen. Zhang Xiao noticed that his ten fingers were a little white because of the force, and his thumbs were stirring back and forth.

Sighing secretly, Lupin was very scared, afraid that the little wizard would be afraid of him.

Remus Lupin is a gentle person, always has been.

"Zhang, Dumbledore told me that Dongfang might be able to help me, so I came to you."

Lupin's thumbs stirred harder and harder.

"Professor Lupin, I am willing to help, very willing."

Zhang Xiao simply agreed. Not to mention that he was very interested in werewolf transformation, let alone whether he needed a reason to help Lupin?

Lupin deserves all the kindness.

Besides, the Dao sect seems to have not studied werewolves yet. They already have the ‘Navier’s Soul Parasite Syndrome’. Why can’t they have the ‘Lupin Werewolf Syndrome’?

Lupin looked at him blankly, as if he didn’t expect Zhang Xiao to say it so straightforwardly. He sniffed and said solemnly:

“Thank you.”

Soon he fell into a new round of tension. He stood up, not knowing where to put his hands:

“Zhang, what should I do? Or do I need to wait for the full moon to transform for you to see?”

Zhang Xiao put down the cup and stood up as well:

“Professor, you may feel like you are being observed later. Don’t be nervous. I’ll take a look first.”

Feeling of being observed? Take a look first?

Soon Lupin knew what it meant to be observed. Although werewolves have all kinds of disadvantages, they also give Lupin an intuition beyond ordinary people, which is an instinctive intuition similar to that of wild animals.

So he can feel who really doesn’t care about the identity of a werewolf.

Lupin watched the little wizard in front of him close his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes became brighter, like the most beautiful gem.

He only felt a chill on his back. Zhang Xiao's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate many things and see the deepest things.

So this is the feeling of being observed. He resisted the urge to escape and stayed quietly in place, motionless, so as not to disturb Zhang Xiao's observation.

Zhang Xiao held his breath and focused all his attention on the Dharma Eye. With his own training, the Dharma Eye became more and more profound over time.

Everything around him became clear, but all his attention was on Lupin.

Hiss.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but take a breath, in his eyes.

Lupin's body was emitting wisps of black air.

Like a demon.
