Chapter 60: Is Xiaohei a Man?
Soon, they followed Big Orange all the way to the end of the secret passage.
Professor Lupin held his wand and jumped out first.
John also followed closely, poking his head out and using Glow Flicker to illuminate.
What came into view was Xiaohei, who had fallen at the foot of the stairs, dying.
Beside it was the food Big Orange had dropped.
"Xiaohei!"
John saw Xiaohei and immediately crawled out, shouting anxiously.
Professor Lupin also ran over quickly and picked up Xiaohei.
"Still breathing, not dead."
"The body is so hot, it's like it has a fever."
"It should be that it jumped into the valley last night, fell into the river, and didn't dry off and warm up in time, leading to catching a cold and having a fever."
While speaking, Professor Lupin quickly took out a bottle of potion from his bosom.
He directly pried open Xiaohei's dog mouth and poured it into its mouth, but Xiaohei didn't swallow it.
Professor Lupin slapped the dog's face directly, and Xiaohei's body trembled violently.
Then, relying on its body's instinct, it drank the bottle of potion.
This series of operations made John stunned.
Afterward, Professor Lupin carried Xiaohei to the second floor.
As soon as he entered the room and saw the cleanliness and layout of the room, he was clearly stunned.
Only then did he react that John said he had brought his friends here.
Professor Lupin placed Xiaohei on the rug and waved his wand, and a hot wind blew the wet fur on its body dry.
Then he wanted to continue waving his wand to do something, but suddenly remembered John on the side.
After hesitating again and again, he still said to John.
"John, I hope the next scene won't cause you psychological trauma."
"Ah?"
Professor Lupin's words really made John a bit confused.
Before John could ask what he meant.
Only to see Professor Lupin wave his wand.
A white light flashed.
Xiaohei, who was lying on the rug, suddenly changed.
From a big black dog, it turned into a sloppy, haggard, disheveled, and prisoner-clothed man.
??????
In an instant, John's brain crashed directly.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
This man is Xiaohei??
I even kissed, hugged, lifted him high, and touched his lychees......
Pfft~
John rolled his eyes and fell down too.
Lupin:......
He looked at the man at his feet somewhat speechlessly.
"Sirius, oh Sirius, what will you use to repay this child..."
This man was none other than Sirius Black.
Professor Lupin waved his wand and placed the fainted John on the old bed.
And then continued to treat Sirius.
Looking at Sirius's embarrassed appearance, Professor Lupin couldn't help but sigh.
Back then, the four of them were clearly so high-spirited and ambitious.
Why now, one had become a prisoner, one had been killed by Voldemort, and one had died without a burial place.
And now, only he remained to face this broken life alone.
Under Lupin's care, Sirius's body temperature gradually dropped, and his complexion also eased slightly.
He opened his eyes with some difficulty and saw Lupin, who was much older and haggard.
A teasing smile tugged at the corner of Sirius's mouth.
"Remus... why are you still... looking like a beggar..."
"Heh, if you want to talk about ragged, you're not much better than me now."
Hearing Sirius's familiar teasing tone, a smile also appeared on Lupin's face.
This kind of familiar conversation seemed to take them back to the old days at Hogwarts.
After Sirius was silent for a moment, his expression became very serious.
"Remus, I didn't betray James and Lily... back then..."
"You rest quietly first; explain after you recover."
Professor Lupin shook his head, interrupting Sirius's words that he was about to explain.
In fact, by this point, Lupin was already willing to believe Sirius.
How could the person in front of him be a traitor?
Sirius smiled powerlessly.
He looked sideways at John, who had fainted on the bed, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again.
"You figure out how to deal with this child yourself; I won't help you."
Professor Lupin also noticed Sirius's gaze, looked at John lying on the bed, and said with a smile.
"No... you came to see me, why did you bring him?"
Sirius complained with a bitter smile.
"God knows you were hiding in this place; if he hadn't led the way, where would I have found you."
Lupin didn't care about Sirius's complaints and said with a laugh.
Sirius was somewhat helpless.
This child was completely outside his plan.
It was Crookshanks who led him here.
Out of trust in Crookshanks, he also accepted this child John.
To him, this was probably just a child who liked to explore like he did back then; he didn't take it to heart and it wouldn't affect his plan.
Even if the Shrieking Shack was exposed, no one would suspect a dog, so it wasn't a big problem.
And this child liked cats and dogs, so occasionally giving him kisses and hugs was still acceptable.
Anyway, he was just an 11-year-old child, and he looked like a porcelain doll.
As long as he didn't reveal his true form, there wouldn't be any problems.
But as a result, now, he was seen by this child with his own eyes, turning from a dog into a sloppy man.
This wouldn't cause an indelible shadow on his young heart.
"Don't come over here, ahhh!!!"
John woke up from a nightmare and sat up from the bed abruptly.
Scared to the point of screaming.
Even Titus and the others who came to visit were startled.
"No, John, are... are you okay?"
Titus and the others saw John wake up and asked cautiously.
John reacted, discovered that everything just now was a nightmare, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, it's nothing, I just dreamed that Xiaohei turned into a lecherous man, and then he chased me to kiss and hug me.... yue!!"
John couldn't help but shiver at the thought of that terrifying scene.
After Titus and the others finished listening, they were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night, John, so you like this kind of thing."
"You're talking nonsense!!"
Hearing Titus's teasing, John jumped up in a hurry.
But suddenly he was stunned again.
"Wait, this is the school infirmary? Why am I in this place?"
John looked at the surrounding environment and finally reacted, asking curiously.
"We want to ask you that too."
"You didn't come to class this afternoon, and we were worried to death."
"Later, Professor Lupin brought you back, saying you were scared and fainted."
Hearing Titus's words, John frowned, recalling his experience before fainting.
He remembered that he went to find Xiaohei with Professor Lupin.
How could he faint...
Hiss.
Hiss...
Hiss......!!
John remembered!!
Pfft~
John rolled his eyes and fell down again.
Titus and the others:???
"Madam Pomfrey!! Madam Pomfrey! John fainted again!!" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
