Chapter 318 A different kind of brotherly reunion
"Speaking of which, Mr. Dumbledore, why are you here so late and bringing the children with you? And who is the old man standing behind you?"
Lupine, who had completely transformed into a wolf, asked angrily.
"We experienced some wonderful things today, and learned some cruel truths through an adventure, but I think Sirius would prefer to see the truth."
Dumbledore sighed, and then gently patted the old necromancer on the shoulder.
"Boom".
The old man gently placed the coffin on his back on the ground, because this was a sign of respect for the hero.
"Dumbledore! Why did you send a coffin to my house? It's scary!"
Sirius raised his eyebrows in surprise and spread his hands half-jokingly.
"Do it, Sirius, do you remember your brother Regulus"?
Dumbledore motioned for the wolf-turned-Lupine to sit down as well, and then asked softly.
"Of course I remember that idiot. My mother taught him since he was a child that his family should always be pure and great. So after he graduated, he joined Voldemort's Death Eaters and then died silently. I don't know if it was because of his fanaticism. And he offended the Dark Lord and brought a green light to himself."
Blake half leaned on the sofa and said nonchalantly.
"But Mr. Black, that's your brother."
Astoria said somewhat unbearably.
"Yes, I once stopped him and even beat him half to death, but he still firmly believed that the Dark Lord was right and that blood is everything, but I really hate these things."
Blake snorted coldly, but it could be seen from his expression that he was not at peace inside.
"So if your brother wakes up at the last moment, will you support him?"
Zhang Qi asked expressionlessly from the side, because only expressionlessness can calm other people's extremely sad emotions.
"But he was always like that, stubborn and unwilling to listen to dissuasion."
Blake waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue this topic.
"We found the body of Regulus, Black, in this coffin."
Dumbledore said softly.
"Ah, I guessed it just now. Please put the coffin here. Although he is a bastard, he is my brother after all. I will give him a good funeral."
Blake sighed, a trace of sadness evident on his face.
"But your brother is innocent. He used his own life to kill that idiot, but he didn't know that his brother had this attitude towards him."
Kel'Thuzad, who was standing behind, snorted coldly.
"What did you say"!
Sirius immediately jumped up from the sofa and asked with wide eyes.
"Calm down, Sirius, your brother is indeed a hero."
Dumbledore bowed very reverently towards the coffin.
"What's going on? Isn't he a Death Eater"?
Blake asked loudly.
"He saw clearly the true face of that idiot in the end, and used his own life to slay him. You should really thank your brother and spend 10 years in Azkaban for nothing to escape reality. Years of shame”!
Kel'Thuzad said loudly.
"How can it be"!
Black yelled and grabbed the old man's neck with his hands, but the necromancer directly pressed him to the sofa.
"Mr. Werewolf, please lean to the side, lest you accidentally scratch him later."
Valley"Is this true? Mr. Zirol"?
Lupine's wolf-shaped face showed a look of surprise.
"It is indeed true, but I think it will take some time for Mr. Black to accept this, and all we can do is wait."
Zhang Qi took Astoria's hand and sat on a small sofa in the corner. Lupine also awkwardly pulled up a chair and sat on it.
"You put on a good disguise at school, but my mother told me everything."
Zhang Qi spoke first.
"Your mother is a very magical person. Although she really broke my arm, it does not prevent me from being grateful to her. Without your mother's help from time to time, I would have died of sin long ago. It's running rampant in Knockturn Alley."
Lupine opened his mouth and sighed.
"Do you plan to continue teaching our Defense Against the Dark Arts class next school year?"
Zhang Qi waved his hand in front of Lupine's eyes, trying to distract him from looking towards Black.
"Ah, I have made enough money this year, and Sirius still has a few free shops in Diagon Alley. I may go to work or do some small business, because I will probably stay in school. It hurts you."
Lupine shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, Professor Lupine, you are really the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher I have ever seen."
Astoria said very sincerely.
"Well, and you really don't have to worry about hurting us, because Miss Greengrass can now beat my mother in arm wrestling."
Zhang Qi pointed to the girl's slender arm.
"Please forgive me. Your mother is indeed a very friendly person, but the memories of her beating me are not good things."
Lupine's wolf face couldn't help but twitch.
"You are all excellent children. You will definitely get good results at the end of this year, and you will be more relaxed during the summer vacation."
"Yes, but you may not be able to have leisure time during the summer vacation. I'm afraid I won't be able to have any leisure time in a few years."
Zhang Qi spread his hands helplessly.
"Oh, that's right. I heard that you two have been engaged for a long time. It's time to have a real engagement ceremony. I just don't know if your mother can let me attend."
A rare smile appeared on Lupine's wolf face.
"what"!
Astoria lowered her head, her cheeks turning red.
"Of course, my mother will definitely invite you, but is it too early to talk about this matter now? I am only 13 this year! Why are you all so anxious?"
Zhang Qi rolled his eyes.
"Maybe it's because you grew up in the Muggle world. In the magical world, it is very normal for pure-blood nobles to get married after graduation. James and Evans got married after graduation."
"Poor Harry, he actually doesn't like the nickname savior. I think what he wants is to live a healthy life with his parents."
Zhang Qi let out a long sigh.
"Yeah, who wants to live a homeless life? But I will never ask for love again in this life. After all, who would like a werewolf?"
Lupine said very self-deprecatingly.
"That's not necessarily true, Mr. Remus. Love always comes very suddenly. Maybe a young, beautiful and lively girl will fall in love with you. I hereby assure you as the prophet Houyi of Delphi , you will definitely find the person you are destined for, if the prediction is accurate, remember to thank me then."
Zhang Qi blinked mischievously.
