By the time Felix returned to classroom seven, the dueling tournament was over, leaving only with a couple of first-place of each grade, Percy and Penelope, behind.
Percy reported on what happened after he left, less than half an hour after he left, Things progressed in a way that he couldn't help but frown.
About ten minutes after he left, Lupin was the first to leave, not more than five minutes later, Snape also suddenly left, in addition to a professor who came to join the fun and pass the weekend, only Flitwick a regular dueling class professor left in plain sight.
"When the seventh-grade competition is over, according to the plan, there will be awards and cross-grade challenges, but you are not ...," Percy stopped tacitly, "Professor Flitwick let the rest of the students go back first. "
Felix nodded, he is actually more curious about whether Snape guessed something, so he went after Lupin, at this point he is afraid they're probably fighting, no?
He raised his wand, and out of the tip flew a slender, swift silver swallow, and the eyes of several young wizards fell on it, gawking wide-eyed at the professor's Patronus, which had been talked fondly of by the young wizards ever since it had made its presence known on the Quidditch pitch.
A few bright-headed little wizards had even managed to make a profit by selling information about the Patronus and the Patronus Charm, something that Harry knew that the twins and his best friend, Lee Jordan, had done.
Rain Swallow Patronus circled the crowd for a while and disappeared with a silver stream of light. Well, if it is truly a fight, at least you can persuade them, or drag Dumbledore to clean up the mess, the headmaster should be aware of this headache, right?
Felix thought unkindly, the corners of his mouth naturally curled up. He brought his attention back to the firsts of each grade and said pleasantly, "Next is the part where you can pick the prize you are interested in - a Galleon or a magical artefact."
With each wave of his wand, a prize would appear before him.
A dazzling Gold-Galleons, an advanced golem, Several types of Sneakoscope, a memory disk, the Ring of the Ouroboros Snake, a nameless book, a shiny silver artefact, and an amulet ... of two dozen of kinds.
"Professor, what is this?" A small blonde curly-haired girl with cute dimples gestured at the palm-sized snake as she asked, liking it at first sight - much like her family's crest.
"A device on which you can stand, like this ..." Felix tossed the snake and with a soft "bang" there appeared a Fifteen-foot big snake.
The big snake is completely inky black in colour, the snake's head is raised high, on both sides of its head, a broad wing like a hood spread wide open, with turquoise blue eyes, as if inlaid with two emeralds.
It lowered its head, in the back of the snake's head, there is an inconspicuous smooth space, just enough for one or two people to stand. Felix smiled and said, "Don't worry about falling off, I borrowed some idea from the Firebolt to keep the rider stable."
Harry could not help but ask: "Professor, are you also participated in the dismantling and study of the Firebolt?" He had only got the Firebolt back from Professor McGonagall a few days ago, though it had performed well and helped him easily defeat the Ravenclaw team.
"It's the credit of Professor McGonagall and Flitwick, I just happened to see it by chance and studied it in passing."
At this moment, that little girl had excitedly jumped over the big snake and shouted loudly, " What should I do, how can I start it? I want this!" She stood at that smooth area, and looked around, won't it be imposing to stroll around with this?
"You can experience it first, once you choose it, you can not change it." Felix cautioned her, she looks like a young girl from a big family, big family or not, he is not afraid, but they raise their children with quite a personality, which will give you a headache.
He is more glad that he teaches the students only from the third grade.
"I just want this! Just this! This one!" The little girl shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Astoria, were you raised like this?" A girl said sternly, it is Daphne Greengrass.
The little girl slumped, "Oh ..."
Felix laughed softly, " A Greengrass?"
"Professor, she is my sister, just started her first year, her name is Astoria Greengrass," Daphne said.
"Hmm." Felix nodded and said nothing more. His wand nudged on the snake's head, the snake made a "hissing" sound, which was only understood by Harry, it was not some meaningless sound, but it rather said in the parseltongue," Binding this noisy little girl ", he suddenly wanted to laugh.
The next second, the snake twisted its body and leaped out abruptly, "Whoa!" Astoria shouted, the position under her feet is very smooth, the slight wobble of the snake's head and the twisting of the snake's body did not affect her.
The crowd watched Astoria standing on the snake, as it smoothly went over the hill, rocky beach, as she shouted excitedly, her golden, long curly hair fluttered.
Daphne tried to redeem her sister's image: "Astoria grew up frail, and the family kept her away from sports, but she loved Quidditch, and today she is more, er, excited ..."
After a minute, the big snake returned to its original position, Astoria jumped off the snake and leaped into Daphne's arms, "Sister, I love it!"
"Professor, is there anything similar, I don't want a snake, is there a lion-shaped one?" Percy asked, being first in the seventh year.
The eyes of the rest of them were glowing, and Harry is already imagining himself riding a tall, majestic lion and flaunting it around the school.
The only person from Hufflepuff, Cedric had a bit of a headache, of course, he also wanted the symbol of his House, a badger. But it is truly unsuitable for a mount.
How about an eagle instead?
Felix smiled and said, "Don't rush to make a decision, I'll first give you an introduction, so that after choosing, in case you still don't know about other rewards."
"Gold-Galleons, no need for me to say more, the number is one hundred coins."
"Advanced Golem, it can understand some commands, such as helping you get things, can talk and remind you of tasks you didn't finish, it doesn't have human wisdom, but it can answer vaguely. Textbooks of seven grades for different subjects are stored inside, the advantage is that you don't need to turn the book when you write homework."
Percy asked excitedly, "Professor, can I store new books in it?" He intuitively felt that it would be extremely helpful to him.
"Sure, it has that function, but it takes time, for a book, it may take two or three hours," Felix explained as he took a book out of the ring and tossed it to the golem.
It flipped the book open by itself and started reading from the first page, using the word 'reading' is not accurate, I should say recording. It brushed its palm over every corner of the page, finishing before flipping to the second page.
"Professor, how many books can it store?"
"Well ... you have asked the right question, I don't know its limit either," Felix spread his hands, "you can give it a try."
Percy didn't hesitate to pick this one.
"I'll continue with the introduction - the Sneakoscope, which you should all know; the memory disk, which can reproduce a piece of memory; the Ring of the Ouroboros Snake, which currently only has the function of storing runes, but by choosing it, you will automatically gain membership of the Magic Rune Club."
Ginny and another Slytherin student chose the Ring of the Ouroboros Snake, Ginny is a second year, originally not eligible to join the club, but now a little over half a year earlier, and without assessment as well. She had heard from Hermione that the selection would only get harder.
After weighing her options, she gave up her imaginary flaming lion mount.
Another sixth-year Slytherin student got excited now, as his parents told him to do everything he could to get on good terms with Felix, but unfortunately, there had been no chance in the past year or so.
Cedric and the fourth-year Ravenclaw boy had selected the memory disk.
Now only Harry is left to decide, and for him, all the previous prizes are good, but nothing helped him to truly make up his mind. Hermione would have preferred an advanced golem that could store books, and Ron would not hesitate to choose the lion mount, but he felt torn now.
Felix continued to introduce them, they were all made by him when he's studied the Runes, incidentally. What mattered to him would be the process of turning inspiration into something physical, and by the time the things were made, they wouldn't really have much use to him.
"... shiny silverware, can spit bubbles, ahem, just kidding, I got the inspiration from Headmaster Dumbledore, it can be used to exercise magic, with the injection of different magic, the colour of the bubbles will also be very different, comes with a simple instruction manual... ..."
"An amulet that can withstand seven or eight regular vile hexes, and not so advanced dark magic;"
...
"Professor, what's this book?" Harry asked, pointing at the nameless book, something looked familiar to him as if he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a while, he recognized that he had seen Professor Hap flipping through something similar at the Black Lake during his second year Christmas break when he was playing snowball with Ron and the twins.
Only that book had a name, perhaps a collection of jokes, but the common feature is that they all have the same transparent pearly white colour as ghosts.
This couldn't be a book for ghosts, right?
"Oh, I'm glad you asked about it." Felix said cheerfully, "It's an attempt, albeit far from the finished product I had in mind, and one might, can even say I'm just on my first steps, but it's magical enough."
"Its main material is memory, mixed with some other materials, such as the Thestral tail hair," Felix reached out and touched the nameless book, it automatically spread open, Harry and the rest came over, inside it is a blank image like mercury, silver and blue light hopping between the pages, like a flash of lightning.
"What does it say?" Harry asked, holding his breath.
"Nothing at the moment, but if you choose it, you can ask me to inject a memory, about any magic," Felix gestured, "from level one to level five, it can replace me and teach you to master that magic."
Harry's heart thumped, his first thought is disarming charm, then he thought of the Patronus charm - he studied with Professor Lupin for a month, still unable to fully form the Patronus, he only knew it is a big one.
But he did not want to choose that, because he is very confident in mastering that magic, and more crucially, he enjoyed his time with Professor Lupin.
Harry hesitated for a moment and his eyes lit up, "Professor, I'll go with Apparition-"
"Oh, no," he heard Professor Hap telling him, "you won't be exposed to this spell until the sixth year at the earliest, and I won't break the rule ..."
Harry got a little disappointed, only to see the professor wink at him, he seemed to understand something, "I'll take this book, as for the magic, I'll go back and think about it, is that okay, Professor?" He asked tentatively.
"Sure," Felix said with a smile, and he wanted to add a few more words, but he suddenly froze in place, and a rapid image swept through his pupils, and Harry caught a glimpse of it--
Snape and Professor Lupin pointing their wands at each other!
"Professor, Professor?" Harry shouted out, is this true?
But Felix didn't respond to him, "Percy Weasley, take it over and look over him for some time." He stepped aside, a silver gleam brewing in his eyes, and with the help of the Patronus' perspective, he whispered, "Severus, Professor Lupin, please stop ..."

Chapter 285 Accidents occur frequently
Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) by Crazy_Darkside_Cat

A few minutes ago -
The atmosphere inside the professor's office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is tense.
Snape's wand in his hand pointed straight at Lupin, his eyes shining with a strange light, and he asked lightly: "What are you hiding?"
Lupin, who also holding his wand, said with a sigh, "You're the one who suddenly appeared and startled me."
"Did I ...?"
Snape's eyes settled on Lupin's feet, where there is a palm-sized Knight, with scarlet eyes kept staring at him, associated with the previous speculation, he had an intense desire, why not find an opportunity to stomp it flat, it is too much of an eyesore ...
"Bombarda!"
He pointed his wand at it, but the next second, Lupin swiftly interrupted his spell: "I can't let you do that, Severus."
Snape's eyes shone dangerously as he took a few steps to the side, and Lupin took a few steps forward, the two remained face-to-face.
"I have long told Dumbledore," Snape said slowly, "there is a traitor in Hogwarts."
Lupin said impatiently: "Use your head, Severus, this is not what you think it is, why don't you go to Professor Hap and ask him about it."
"Give it to me!"
"I don't think I can do that," Lupin said, Then suddenly a thick snake-like rope flew out from the tip of Snape's wand, and Lupin stabbed a section of the rope with great precision, and it fell hard on the floor and broke into five to six pieces.
"There is a good chance he is an innocent, think about it, where did I get him from, I can go with you to ask for proof."
Snape said murderously, "You want to prove his innocence? Give him to me, and I'll see for myself--"
"Severus, you're obsessed, there's something you don't know, that we know - Dumbledore knows it, too - that Ron kid's pet rat has some issue!"
Lupin dodged a spell and the jars in his office exploded with a bang.
" Are you going to start telling some stories, Lupin? There's not enough time left for that, you need to speed that up." Snape shook out a dark mist that quickly converged into a dozen chirping birds, and as he thrust out his arm like a sharp sword, these black birds all flew straight at Lupin in unison.
"You incorporated dark magic into a regular spell?" Lupin asked in surprise, as he moved swiftly as he could, he had more access to these dark spells than the average person, though he didn't learn them, but studied how to counter them.
He waved his wand, and the parchment papers on the table flew up " splash", forming a solid wall in front of him, in which the black birds stuck, shaking their wings desperately, struggling as they dissolved into wisps of black smoke.
The black smoke came together and turned into a big snake, its head raised high to the ceiling, and then its head fell sharply.
The big snake broke through Lupin's defense, so he grabbed the 'Knight' and threw it out of the office window smoothly, "Go find Professor Hap!" As he lunged to the side, dodging the big snake.
"Buzz~"
The whole office trembled, the tables, chairs, boxes, and cabinets in the room bounced in unison.
"Flipendo-"
"Thumb!"
A flash of red light brushed past Snape's cheek and hit the file cabinet behind him, and Lupin stood up from the dusty floor, "Can't let you go just like that, fool, I've always wanted to fight you."
Snape had a smile on his face, but no one would think it is an expression of goodwill, "Really? Not going to pretend to be a good old boy anymore? Like a tamed werewolf?"
"I've never been faking it - Protego Maxima!"
Lupin blocked a suspicious ghostly blue spell, his reasoning didn't seem to be working out, so he waved his wand, a stream of red lights burst out in succession, Snape's wand repeatedly flicked it away, knocking the spells away one by one, and he took two steps back, as he stabbed his wand straight out--
"Diffindo!"
"Whoosh!"
A row of wooden boxes got sliced neatly in unison, which Lupin hurriedly avoided, a tiny cut scratched through his cheek, "This spell ... is impressive!"
Then he flicked his wand, Snape rushed to prop an invisible barrier up, and the deflected spell hit the locked cabinet.
"Don't!" Lupin exclaimed.
A red-headed woman walked out the cabinet door, "Severus, why ..."
Snape's eyes went wide, and he stumbled back, his wand slipped from his hand and his body flinched, "No, nooo ..."
"Why ..."
Lupin panicked and stood in front of Snape, the illusion in front of him disappeared and turned into a full moon, he sighed with a complicated expression, and raised his wand for a while, "Riddi--"
"Boom!"
The full moon suddenly exploded into smithereens, Lupin turned back in shock to see Snape expressionlessly holding up his wand.
"Remus Lupin!" Snape said through gritting his teeth.
"Severus, that was an accident, the boggart was for Harry to practice his Patronus charm." Lupin backed away warily, Snape is not in the right state.
"Sniff!"
A violent fire lit the office up, igniting everything, Snape waved his wand with dishevelled hair, Lupin stumbled back, he could only brace himself, using the stunning spell in between Snape's attacks.
"What's happening here? Oh, my!"
A cheerful female voice appeared at the entrance, Lupin could only see that the visitor had bubblegum pink hair, but then she got knocked off by a stunning spell and disappeared from his sight.
"Snape, stop, Someone, got hurt!"
But Snape lost his nerve - so he ignored Lupin's shouts, the spell became stronger and stronger, and he used strange dark magic unrestrainedly, a black glow appearing on his face.
Lupin is gradually losing the fight, and Snape coldly waved his wand.
A crisp chirping sound suddenly heard, a silver rain swallow condensed in midair, dividing the battlefield into two parts.
"Severus, Professor Lupin, please stop ..."
A black spell flew over, and the silver rain swallow slightly vibrated its wings to dodge the attack, "Severus, you--"
"Get out of the way!"
Lupin rushed to say, "Snape hit the box where I stored the boggart, and she stepped out of it--"
"Shut up! Shut your mouth! Lupin!"
Snape interrupted him furiously, a terrible magic brewing as the room began to tremble, and the ground rapidly eroded externally with him as a center.
A dazzling ripple of light spread out like a large wave, and Snape's unformed magic made a zipping sound, bursting forth with dark red lightning at one side of the room, the two sides of the rooms looked quite contrasting, one side being corrosive and dark, and the other side being warm and light.
A gentle voice came from the Rain Swallow Patronus, "Severus, calm down."
Lupin hurriedly said, "Severus, we found a new clue, Peter Pettigrew is not dead, he is still alive, everything is staged by him!"
Snape seemed to come back to his senses, he took the initiative to lift the magic, the Patronus light spread on him, constantly washing away the black gas around his face, then he leaned on the wall and slowly sat down.
The Rain Swallow Patronus left a sentence, "I'll be right back." Then turned into a dot of blue-white spark.
A few moments later, Felix appeared in the office, most of the room was ruined, a small half of the furniture eroded, another half still burning slightly on fire, a row of wooden boxes was neatly sliced, the cut was smooth as a mirror.
"Scourgify!" The smoke in the room is carried away, the flames extinguished.
Snape sat leaning against the wall, staring at the ceiling without moving, his black eyes were like stone, and there is no visual clarity in his eyes. Lupin is tending to an unconscious young woman, and he glances over to see who it is - surprisingly, it's Tonks.
Felix frowned, what was this fight for? Because of Sirius Black? He looked around and didn't see Sirius in his knight candy costume, he can't be wiped out, right?
Snape had absolutely no intention of communicating with anyone, he could only walk next to Professor Lupin, "How did it come to this?"
Lupin said with a bitter smile, "It was all an accident, a series of accidents."
Felix looked at Tonks on the couch, "Why is she here?"
"I don't know, seems to have popped out of nowhere, maybe trying to dissuade the fight? As a result, she was knocked out by my stunning spell ..."
"Just a stunning spell?" Felix surveyed Tonks' face, she showed no sign of sobriety.
"There's nothing wrong with her," Lupin explained, "I didn't undo the spell, and in this situation now, it's really inappropriate ... so I couldn't take her to the hospital wing."
If he lifted the stunning spell before, he was bound to let Tonks see the scene of the two Hogwarts Professors fighting to the death, although she already saw it, but it could easily implicate Sirius; Now he worried about Snape's side of the problem, so he didn't take her to the hospital wing.
"Understood," Felix gave Tonks another stunning spell, "later send her directly to the hospital wing, don't say anything."
Felix picked a back chipped-off chair and sat down, then he gave Lupin a look and raised his tone a bit, "Professor Lupin, explain, what happened, didn't you tell Severus that Peter Pettigrew was the culprit?"
He gestured to Lupin, signalling him to drag Peter Pettigrew in the conversation.
Lupin understood, so he said in as much detail as possible: "The day school started after Christmas break, in the staff common room next to the great hall, we and Headmaster Dumbledore speculated that there was a huge suspicion in the murder of James and Lily that year, because Sirius had a good chance to kill Harry, but he didn't do it, and his target was Harry's friend, Ron Weasley. "
"I can't quite understand," Felix said.
"Then I'll explain again - Sirius Black is an Animagus, he can turn into a big black dog, likewise James can turn into a stag, and Peter Pettigrew can turn into a rat," Lupin said, laughing to himself. "They're there to keep me company during the full moon, a werewolf."
"In that case, the reason why Black can escape from Azkaban is clear, but why did he attack Ron Weasley?" Felix continued to ask, and in the afterglow, he saw Snape rolling his eyes.
"Ron raised a rat, their family did, to be precise, this rat suddenly appeared in the Weasley house and stayed there for twelve whole years, only to disappear without a trace after Sirius Attack during the holiday. But we saw an image of it that looked exactly like Peter Pettigrew's Animagus!"
"So, he's not dead? Peter Pettigrew, the holder of the First Class Order of Merlin and a war hero, not only didn't die, but he went incognito and hid as a pet in a wizard family?"
Lupin looked at Felix oddly, but could only follow his words: "Yes, this is the biggest suspicion, so we suspect that there is another hidden agenda. Professor Hap, how is Sirius got into your hand and turned into a golem?"
"I captured him, and after that we - Dumbledore and I intend to set up a trap to draw out Peter Pettigrew, by that time it will certainly require your cooperation, so keep it a secret for now," Felix explained.
Lupin apprehensively asked the biggest question in his mind, hoping to get an answer: "So, Sirius is innocent? But he is the Secret Keeper of James's house, and the Fidelius Charm is simply unbreakable, like an unbreakable oath, if he is innocent ..."
"You didn't ask him?"
"Didn't have time for that."
"Well," Felix thought about it and decided to use the opportunity to explain clearly, and the words were also addressed to Snape, "because the Secret Keeper is replaced, Sirius thought he was too obvious, and privately replaced the Secret Keeper with the inconspicuous Peter Pettigrew."
"So," Lupin murmured: "At that time, the operation in the Order of the Phoenix repeatedly leaked out, everyone suspected that there is a traitor, and people are on edge."
"So -" Snape stood up, "Peter Pettigrew was the real undercover agent of Voldemort?"
Lupin looked at Snape in surprise, he actually called the Dark Lord by his name - Voldemort, the original suspicion disappeared at once. You know, when Dumbledore protected Snape that year, he was very shocked.
Snape said nonchalantly, "Swap the Secret Keeper? Stupid!"
"Severus..."
But he ignored Lupin and limped away, while saying, "As for Peter Pettigrew...what I need to do, Felix tell me later."
Lupin opened and closed his mouth, saying nothing, as he watched him leave quietly.
"Let him be alone," Felix said, looking around. "You guys fighting too hard." In the whole room, apart from the sofa where Tonks is lying, there is no other place to stay.
"Oh, it's all an accident..." Lupin sighed, he sighed too many times today.
"This office is no longer usable. You discuss it with Dumbledore and modify or switch it."
"That's the only way," Lupin said, fortunately, he released the magical creatures used for teaching a few days ago, otherwise few would survive, and the only other living creature, Boggart, was blown to pieces, Not even a wisp of blue smoke remained.
"By the way, where did you hide Sirius?" Felix asked him nonchalantly.
Lupin got startled, he had long forgotten about it, "I threw him out of the window during the fight just now..." Looking at Felix's strange eyes, he said guiltily: "I asked him to Look for you."
"Well, okay." Felix shrugged, "I hope he won't be picked up by some mischievous little wizard."

Chapter 286 Tonks and Lupin
Harry Potter: A Certain Ancient Rune Professor of Hogwarts (TL) by Crazy_Darkside_Cat
533 0 11
Hospital Wing.
Tonks woke up from the hospital bed, touched the clean white linen sheets, and felt a little confused for a while.
What's with this situation?
She remembered that she had got rid of that old toad, no one was bothering her, and she decided to have a nice stroll around the campus, including going back to the common room to lie on the yellow and black striped soft-seat sofa for once again, and going to the kitchen to eat Yorkshire pudding, so how did she end up in the hospital wing?
"Ahem, are you awake? Tonks, by the way, I know your name from Professor Hap - Felix Hap." A voice said.
Tonks jerked her head around and looked at the other side of the hospital bed; it belonged to a middle-aged (?) male wizard, his face still looks quite young, but his appearance looks frazzled, his hair is mixed with gray, and at the moment he is looking at her with an apologetic face.
Uh, let's see, before I passed out, what was I doing? There is the sound of fighting and brawling, and I wanted to go over and see the lively ...
"Did you knock me out?" She asked incredulously.
Lupin coughed twice in embarrassment, and although Professor Hap's advice was for him to leave the person at the hospital wing and leave her alone, he decided to stay, or at least apologize.
"It was an accident ..." he suddenly paused, the fourth time he had said that today.
Tonks shrugged and jumped off the hospital bed, "Wait - Madam Pomfrey suggested for a second observation." Lupin said.
"Observe what, the awakening time of the stunning spell?" Tonks showed pride, "I'm guessing ten minutes, I've done counter training in the ministry and the best I could do was seven and a half, but it's usually ten minutes."
Lupin's mouth opened slightly, and he wisely did not tell her the truth, that she had been hit by more than one stunning spell and had passed out for more than ten minutes, hoping that it would be a secret that only he knew. But--
"I was lying here for two hours?" Tonks looked at Madam Pomfrey in surprise, and on the way out, the Matron in charge stopped her and insisted on checking again.
"Or then?" Madam Pomfrey said impatiently, " Well, even if you sleep all day, I wouldn't care if Remus hadn't said you might be on an official mission. ... It's fine now."
She rambled away, and Tonks turned her head to look at Lupin and asked again for confirmation, "I was asleep for two hours?"
"... That's right, I was going to tell you," Lupin said stiffly.
"Ugh, forget it~," Tonks said cheerfully, "You're a professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class? That's really something ..."
"Not me ... well, how do you know I'm the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"
"Or else? One of the things I look forward to most when I attend the school is to see what the new professor would look like."
"Miss Tonks-"
"Call me Tonks, I haven't formally introduced myself, Nymphadora Tonks, but don't call me by my first name," she muttered in a small voice, " 'Virgin Martyr' is the English equivalent of my name, which is not that pleasant term to hear."
"Hello, Tonks, my name is Remus Lupin."
...
Gryffindor Common Room.
Harry is fiddling with his new haul - a very spooky nameless book, Ron curiously reached out and touched it, the surface of the book felt like water, as he touched it lightning-shaped lines would suddenly emerge.
Hermione asked worriedly, "You really want to learn Apparition?"
"That's right," Harry said decisively, "I think it suits me best, listen to me Hermione, I've been thinking about it for two hours, and now I still think I made the right choice."
Coming back from classroom seven, or rather being escorted back by Percy, he was originally indignant, and he had the urge to cloak himself in his invisibility cloak and check out Professor Lupin's office, but Percy Weasley was just two seats away, and he had been following Professor Hap's instructions to keep an eye on or protect him.
Especially since he had been attacked just yesterday, and now the whole school knew that Sirius kept targeting him - and like a thousand rumours and legends in the school, it isn't true.
He had to give up this tempting idea and started to study the dueling match prize Professor Hap had given him instead. He told Ron and Hermione his idea: "I had this idea when I was writing my dueling essay. Professor Flitwick said to find what you're best at and make the most of your strengths... what am I best at?"
"It's Quidditch," Harry whispered, "And Professor Hap told me once that he envied my reflexes ...."
"Hiss~" Ron smacked his lips, "You mean you can whoosh later?" He gestured haphazardly with both hands, mimicking a continuous Apparition.
Harry said, "That's what I have been hoping for ..."
"Hermione!"
The twins came in from outside, Fred carrying a ginger cat in his hand, "Crookshanks has been lingering at the door, I think he's brought you a present." He said with a smirk.
Hermione lowered her head, "Crookshanks, come here."
The ginger cat had something in its mouth, she just hoped it isn't a big spider, or she'd have to clean it up again, and Crookshanks gently jumped up on the table and spat the stuff out of its mouth.
"It's-" Hermione's eyes widened.
"It's the golem Professor Hap brought along with him today," Harry affirmed, fiddling with it for a moment, "It looks like the armour model in the castle, and he was saying hello to me."
Hermione patted the big cat's head, "Why did you take the professor's stuff? We should give it back to the professor."
"That's right," Harry immediately agreed, he especially wanted to ask about Professor Lupin, if there is a legitimate reason, Percy will not stop him, right?
The knight at the table - or rather, Sirius, had a depressed look on his face. He was thrown out by Lupin, knowing that he couldn't help and staying would just add to the mess, so he rushed off to find Felix.
First he went to classroom seven, no one was inside; then he went to his office, dodging the little wizards' dirty paws along the way, tapping hard on the door, no response, he barely climbed up the window, only to find it empty.
He didn't know what to do for a moment, maybe looking for Dumbledore would be a good option? But he simply didn't know the password, from the office, he met Crookshanks.
Crookshanks is his ally, providing a lot of information about the castle to him, he has been grateful that this cat is smart enough to distinguish that he is a human, but can also judge whether he is good or bad.
This time too, Crookshanks recognized him and kept trying to communicate with him, but he was under magic and couldn't speak - unless he got rid of the candy armour he is wearing.
He could only gesticulate, but unfortunately, Crookshanks, although smart, is obviously not that smart enough.
After some ineffective communication, Crookshanks took him to the common room.
Ron looked at him with interest. "Can you talk? Hey! Percy has one which can talk."
"Ouch!"
Sirius angrily stabbed Ron's finger with his knight's sword. Ron felt so painful that he fell on the table, making him groggy.
"Come on, Ron!"
Sirius heard the voice like the sound of nature, what is this little girl's name, she is also the owner of Crookshanks, she is really a good girl.
Hermione picked up the knight, "Let's go, let's return it to the professor."
They walked all the way to the door, Harry staring nervously at Percy, but he didn't stop them, maybe thinking that two hours is more than what Professor Hap expected?
Harry is glad to see him bow his head again, fiddling with the advanced golem, and beside him, the twins kept spinning around him.
"You should let us see it, maybe we can add some new features, like -- suddenly pulling out a Dungbomb and throwing it at someone's face?"
Harry closed the common room door, shutting the Weasley brothers' ruckus behind him, and then two seniors approached their way excitedly: "Have you heard? A little girl in Slytherin set off a big mess..."
"What happened?" his companion asked with interest.
"You would have never guessed it, she let out a big snake in the Slytherin common room!"
