After a couple of days Lupin joined his duty in the school. He took two classes. After teaching Samuel Longhorn Clemens and Sidney Porter he felt at home. All the staffs in the school were either kind or respectful of him. It was a new thing. Most lady staffs talked to him kindly. He liked it. It hardly had ever happened before. When Clara, his wife was there in the scenario, hardly any lady staff sat around him, let alone near him. But today almost all the seventeen lady staffs flocked around him and inquired about his well-being and how he fared in his vacation. Some even demanded to show the photos he had clicked in France. He complied to their requests. He liked this type kind behaviour from women, who wouldn't? The gents staffs talked to him as if he was a war hero or a pop singer - they talked to him with high reverence he felt. Gru asked whether he should opt for iPhone or should stick to his old model. Lupin asked him to stick to the old model; but he wanted freshness, newness and excitement in life, he must opt for iPhone. Thanking him Gru went away smiling and satisfied - Lupin did not know whether he solved Gru's problem or increased it.
Lupin kept wondering was it his last visit to France that made him so popular and respect worthy and ultimately powerful or was it something else.
