Scorpius looked out following Draco's gaze, it was too far away, of course he couldn't hear what Potter and the others said, but at least it could be seen that they were definitely not voluntary - Ron Weasley was Rolling all over his body, it was hard to see how powerful Heizi was. Potter tried to grab Ron's sleeve several times but was brought down together.

Scorpius frowned slightly and said uncertainly: "There seems to be Granger's cat."

All the animals seemed to be crazy, Crookshanks jumped up and knocked off Hermione's wand, and when he was close to the famous Whomping Willow, the cat disappeared into the bushes with the wand in its mouth, Dragged by the sunspots, the Gryffindor trio also quickly disappeared into the bushes. What is strange is that the Whomping Willow, which usually opens its teeth and claws when a fly flies by, seems to have not woken up today. Standing motionless in place.

"That's a bit unusual," Scorpius sighed. "I'll have to check, something's wrong with the sunspot."

"It is said that Muggle dogs have a disease called 'rabies'." Draco stood there with arms folded indifferently, snorted in the direction where Potter disappeared outside the window, and said lazily, "Your dog said Maybe sick."

"It's definitely healthy." Scorpius said seriously, "I'll go and have a look, and you go and inform Professor Snape." After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but before he could take two steps, he was suddenly caught by a strong force Strength grabbed his elbow and dragged him back, he was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to meet the silver-gray eyes with disapproval.

"If Granger can't do anything, what do you think you can do?" Draco raised an eyebrow arrogantly, "If you want to go to the professor, you have to go with me, or—— we'll change Change."

"Swapping? You mean you're going to help Potter and Weasley? Oh come on Draco - it's not funny at all... and I don't think you'd want to help at all - except to applaud Blackie outside."

Draco gave the first-year Slytherin a fake smirk back: "Smart."

"Okay, let's go find the professor together - hey, let go, you hurt me." Scorpius muttered, trying to shake off Draco, who let go gracefully and raised his head arrogantly Thin pale jaw.Walking leisurely, he followed behind the hurrying first grader unhurriedly, seeing a bunch of soft black hair on the back of his head disobediently raised from its original position, the platinum noble pursed his lips impatiently. , said in a sarcastic tone, "Mr. Gretel, your hair looks like a duck's ass."

Scorpius found that his face was a little hot, he quickly stroked his hair, and then withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "What a rude metaphor." Draco was behind him Let out a contented sneer.

...the nasty bastard.

They turned a corner and saw the door to Head Slytherin's office, which was not closed tightly today, but opened a crack.Scorpius came to a sudden stop, looked back at Draco, and the Slytherins saw doubts in each other's eyes at the same time.

However, they soon got the answer. The figure of Professor Snape in a thin black summer robe appeared behind the door. At this moment, he held a goblet with steaming white steam in his hand—oh , the liquid in it looks familiar, Scorpius thought, maybe he saw him in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office—

Obviously, Professor Severus Snape was going out, and if he guessed correctly, the destination was Professor Lupine's office.

The Potions Professor closed the office door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his dear godson, Mr. Malfoy, with a troublesome first-year Slytherin. The two were standing not far away, looking at him anxiously.

The corners of his mouth curled up, showing a distorted smile, and then hissed in a low voice: "Good evening, gentlemen."

"Good night, Professor Snape." Scorpius gave a bright smile, and poked Draco's waist quietly with his hand from behind. He straightened his head, and his tone became a little more formal. The most pretentious Slytherin prince nodded gracefully and said, "Good night, Professor Snape."

"If you've noticed," said Snape with a deadpan expression, "I've got something to do, so please excuse me—"

— "Severus, ah, I guessed you were supposed to be here!"

A gentle voice came from behind the three of them, and Scorpius looked back, just in time to see Professor Lupine.The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor stood quietly under the setting sun cast from the window. Scorpius noticed that their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor really didn't look very well today, and the calm amber eyes revealed exhaustion that could not be concealed. , he was still wearing the old patched robe, and under the setting sun, a few strands of gray hair could still be seen.

He was supposed to be about the same age as Professor Snape, but he looked much older, at least Professor Snape's hair - Scorpius glanced quickly at his dean... er, well, to be honest it was It's a little oily, but it's all black anyway, oh yes, jet black and shiny.Scorpius twitched weakly.

"Professor Lupine." Snape had a smirk on his face, "I just happened to be looking for you."

"I've been waiting for you for a while, and I couldn't wait to come—you see, good evening, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Great."

"Hi, Professor." Draco nodded lazily, perfunctory with little respect.

Scorpius smiled slightly: "Good night, Professor Lupine."

Lupine came over, he took the glass from Professor Snape, but he didn't drink it immediately, but looked at Scorpius questioningly, thanks to his coming - the latter remembered that he had In fact, he almost bit his tongue when he was nervous, gasped hissingly, and didn't care to wipe away the tears that came out of pain, the first year Slytherin stammered: "Oh, by the way, bad , I was about to say it! Professor Snape - my dog ​​dragged Weasley away -"

Snape and Lupine were taken aback at the same time, and Lupine quickly returned to normal, as if frightening a child, he asked softly: "Sorry, Mr. Gretel, what did you say--what?"

"His stupid black dog dragged Weasley away." Draco snorted contemptuously, "and Potter and Granger, of course—to be honest, Professor, you can't ask for Gretel's English is better, tsk tsk."

"—you mean, black dog?" Lupine seemed to think of something, and his face became very pale in the next moment, and there was no doubt that he would faint without hesitation in the next second, Scorpius Swears it's the first time I've seen the professor get a little flustered, his amber eyes flickering uncomfortably, blinking in disbelief, asking, "Where did he—I mean, go?"

Scorpius opened his mouth, closed it again, and poked the third-year Slytherin standing in front of him again.

"Oh, I think it's - Whomping Willow, Professor." Draco shot Scorpius a mocking glance.

"My God!" Lupine whispered, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Snape, who was silent from the beginning to the end, also turned ugly, he glanced at Lupin with a half-smile, and his voice became strangely bitter: "Do you recall any pleasant memories, Professor Lupine? "

"You don't know the whole truth, Severus," said Lupine nervously. "Sorry to excuse me, I have to go and see—"

"Let's go together," said Professor Snape irresistibly, and at this moment, everyone began to move - led by Professor Lupine, who was walking very fast, almost trotting, and Scorpius, who was in full need. Trot to keep up with the pace of adults.The Potions Professor tightened his cloak, pulled out his wand, and hissed calmly as a warning, "Before that, I must remind you to drink your potion and solve your own problems first, Professor Lupine."

Looking down at the cup still containing the hot potion in his hand, Lupine took out an old pocket watch and muttered, "It's not time yet—" Then he took out a small silver gourd from his waist , Bite open the cork with his mouth and pour out the wine exuding a faint grass fragrance, and pour the liquid in the cup into it. The mouth of the gourd is very small, and during the movement, a little half of the potion in the cup spilled.

Scorpius turned his face to look at his Potions Professor, and sure enough, he saw that the latter seemed to have something to say about this behavior.

But thanks to Merlin, he endured it.

Soon they came to the grass, and the Whomping Willow was not far away.Professor Lupine muttered an unfamiliar incantation, and a faint pink light shot from the tip of his wand straight at the roots of the Whomping Willow, and surprisingly, the tree became still again, Both Scorpius and Draco raised eyebrows in surprise at the same time, obviously wondering why their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor knew the little secret of this particular plant.

"Draw your wand, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Great," Snape warned as they walked across the Whomping Willow.

"Of course, Professor." Draco replied proudly.

Lupine, who was walking in front, froze, turned around, and said in surprise as if remembering: "Why did you follow?"

"That's my dog," said Scorpius blankly. "Why can't I follow?"

"Oh, I guess, the great owner of this stupid dog needs an English interpreter." Draco shrugged casually, and said dryly, Scorpius kicked his calf, and the latter waved lazily With a wave of his magic wand, he cleaned up the dirt on the school uniform pants, then raised his head, his silver-gray eyes were particularly bright in the dark woods, "I think we can continue?"

"Well, though I don't think it's a - oh, never mind," Professor Lupine muttered to himself, turning and continuing on his way, "Assure me of your safety, gentlemen. .”

"I noticed—" Professor Snape drew out his tone, his voice was like silk, "I seem to be their Headmaster, Professor Lupine."

Lupine relaxed a little, shook his head indulgently and said with some amusement, "Okay, of course you are, Severus - ah, here we are."

"Screaming Shack." Draco said deadpan, not looking particularly surprised. "So this road leads to Hogsmeade."

A girl's scream came from a room not far away.

Lupine's face became ugly: "It's Miss Granger."

Snape drew his wand wordlessly, pushed Lupine aside and walked in front.

Scorpius followed behind Draco, watching the three people in front of them all draw out their wands vigilantly, he had no choice but to fumble for his own wand, in fact, he quietly moved forward the dragon leather bag that had been hanging behind his waist Moving away, the boy with half oriental blood blinked his black eyes, and asked doubtfully, "This is Hogsmeade? It looks so crude."

"No one's been here in years." Draco lowered his voice, "Because it's haunted—well, can you shut up? You're going to expose us!"

"Oh, of course it's not haunted here, Mr. Malfoy." Unexpectedly, Professor Lupine, who seemed quite interested in this topic, smiled and also lowered his volume.Now, they were approaching the house quietly. When Scorpius stepped into the room, he was startled by a loud noise from the second floor—as if someone upstairs was chasing something, and then he immediately Potter's angry growl was heard.When walking up the dusty stairs that were dragged by the predecessors, Professor Lupine smiled calmly and explained, "People say that the strange noises heard on the full moon day are all I sent it."

Draco looked a little shocked.

Scorpius had no idea what that meant.

At this time, Professor Snape, who was the first to approach the room with a glimmer of light, turned his head expressionlessly. He grinned, showing a real ferocious smile: "Guess who I saw? That Sirius Blake."
