Perhaps he had not spoken to anyone in ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence only ended when the kettle began to boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does a party involve?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin said gently, handing Wizard Sean and Jia Jia Siting cups of tea—each with a chip in the rim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing much, sir—a lavish dinner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…You’re reading this book? The organization was so long ago, I’ve almost forgotten what’s inside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting smiled, steering the conversation naturally toward the *Green Notes*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three sat before the roaring fire, slowly turning the exquisitely wrapped notes, occasionally discussing details of magical history, and jotting down notes about interesting biographies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this process, Lupin revealed vast knowledge; compared to him, Jia Jia Siting felt entirely like a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had revised and compiled the entire *Green Notes*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wizard Sean could keep pace with Lupin, occasionally offering perspectives of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the silent levitation charm the young wizard had cast upon entering, to his deep insights and broad knowledge of magical history—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even knew that in 1792, a cockatrice rampaged through the Triwizard Tournament, injuring three headmasters, including the Headmaster of Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin was thoroughly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen, at your age, I certainly wasn’t nearly as accomplished…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin smiled; these were the kind of students any teacher would love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Broadly curious, eager to learn, and most precious of all, still holding reverence and longing for knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It inevitably reminded him of his time at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…After his years of hiding ended, Headmaster Dumbledore welcomed him into Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His three friends noticed his monthly disappearances. Even though he made up excuses—family illness, visits home, and so on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lived in fear they would leave if they discovered he was a werewolf. But after several sleepless nights, they devised a solution: not only did it make his transformations bearable, it became the best time of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—They learned Animagus transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them had once been everything to him. Even with guilt toward Headmaster Dumbledore, he turned a blind eye to their mischief, only gently restraining them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It proved that holding to principles for friends required more courage than holding to them against enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, when Voldemort rose to power…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything collapsed. His three friends—two dead, one imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin thought of those nights—from Headmaster Dumbledore’s visit, to his friends who didn’t mind he was a werewolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized how similar this day was to those long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Lupin, you’re a werewolf, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jia Jia Siting’s words shattered the cottage’s peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this question again, Lupin—who should have long been accustomed and unshaken—was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Mr. Jia Jia Siting. You are one of the cleverest young wizards I’ve ever met.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know when he had been exposed. Or rather, his identity in Hogsmeade was likely to be discovered—he had sought work here several times, and the locals had long suspected him;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also knew encountering a young wizard who accepted werewolves was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s head emerged from behind the book introducing Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; he watched Jia Jia Siting pull a vial from his Undetectable Extension Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now understood why the boy had been rushing nonstop through Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Wolfsbane Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A special potion requiring consumption one week before the full moon, allowing a werewolf to retain consciousness during transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to its extremely complex preparation and the need for a potioneer’s expert skill, its price was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many who knew of it were unable to afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Wolfsbane Potion, they were discovered and struggled to find work; without work, they couldn’t buy the potion… nearly a vicious cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since meeting Professor Lupin, Wizard Sean had been studying how to brew this potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its difficulty was too high; even with Wizard Sean’s potion talent, mastering it would be a long journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to Green Book Cottage. Happy housewarming, Mr. Lupin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Siting pushed the vial forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, deducted from your salary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogsmeade was always snowing. The daylight faded, snowflakes tapping against the large window of Green Book Cottage; through the glass, lights glowed in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among those lights, naturally, was Green Book Cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stepped out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you get to Hogsmeade? Perhaps I know a shortcut.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin stood in the snow, speaking gently to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean understood he was worried for their safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, sir. We know many ways.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s words carried little weight with Lupin; he thought for a moment, then pulled out the Marauder’s Map from his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the map appeared, it seized Lupin’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Wizard Sean draw his wand and tap the parchment lightly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, fine ink lines spread like spiderwebs from where the wand touched, connecting, crisscrossing, expanding to every corner of the parchment;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, at the top, green cursive letters appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【For the assistance of magical pranksters】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Presented with pride】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Marauder’s Map】\u003C\u002Fp>",1075,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5851f5b3b11136de2628b1a96fa14c7ba720072f2bbfa0f17df98197c572baa5","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-340","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-338",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
