176 Chapter 176: Detective Hermione

"Yes."

Alvin answered without thinking.

After getting a positive answer, Hermione was not surprised at all.

Since the last time in the class, Snape had asked Lupin to thank Alvin well, and she had vaguely had some thoughts in her mind.

Add in all the characteristics of a Werewolf mentioned in Snape's class today.

Hermione was sure that Lupin was a Werewolf.

"Then why did Headmaster Dumbledore let him come to the school?" Hermione found this unfair to Lupin and hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"I mean, it's not that Professor Lupin is bad, but if other students find out, it will be a lot of trouble for either Headmaster Dumbledore or Professor Lupin."

Alvin spread his hands and looked gloating, "Because the Headmaster can't find other more suitable candidates, think about our professors in the first two semesters."

"But don't tell anyone this news. Headmaster Dumbledore told me not to talk about it."

Hermione thought about it for a while, and it seemed a Death Eater, a liar, and a werewolf like Lupin was not strange.

Seeing that Hermione was still a little worried, Alvin also comforted her.

"Don't worry. I have developed an improved version of the wolf's poison potion, and the effect is better than the original version."

This time it was estimated that Snape was seeking revenge on Lupin.

Alvin guessed right, Snape added some ingredients to the wolf poison potion, and now Lupin is lying weakly.

The two chatted in a low voice and soon came to the Transfiguration Classroom.

After entering the third grade, the students gradually come into contact with the high-level Transforming spells that turn dead things into living things. Professor McGonagall announced in the first class that the content of this semester's final exam is to turn a Teacup into a rat.

Although this is nothing for Alvin, it is already a big problem for many students.

Neville is one of them. It's almost a month since school started, and he can only make two whiskers appear on the Teacup.

Professor McGonagall was standing behind Neville, and when he saw his performance, he shook his head helplessly.

"Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and no one responded, even Professor McGonagall.

Because everyone is used to it, Seamus must have created this.

For more than two years, the name Seamus' blasting genius has gradually spread, and last semester, there was an outstanding achievement in bringing down Snape.

So now everyone consciously stays away from Seamus whenever they are in a class where they need to wave a wand.

Alvin also carefully looked into the reasons but couldn't find anything.

The explosion can only be regarded as Seamus' bloodline talent.

After class, Professor McGonagall stopped everyone.

"Please wait a moment! This weekend will be your first visit to Hogsmeade. Please provide me with an application form for students who want to go there."

There was a burst of cheers in the class. They had long wanted to go to Hogsmeade to find out.

Honeydukes and Zonko's Joke Shop are the topics when the students gossip.

At this moment, Alvin raised his hand, "Professor, I don't have an application form. Can I go?"

"Of course, Mr. Gaunt, we know your situation."

Professor McGonagall nodded toward Alvin.

"Professor, I may have thrown away the application form."

Neville said tremblingly, causing a burst of laughter.

"Your grandmother has given me the application form. She thinks it might be safer." Professor McGonagall said, "but she also told me to tell you not to go to Hogsmeade alone. She is afraid you will get lost."

When Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the whole classroom laughed even louder.

After that, several students submitted their application forms and left.

Harry stayed until the end and seemed to have said something to Professor McGonagall.

After dinner, Harry went outside the Ravenclaw Common Room and called Alvin out.

"Alvin, can you lend me the Invisibility Cloak?"

Alvin was speechless, reminding Harry, "Harry, the Invisibility Cloak is yours, not mine."

"Oh!"

It was only then that Harry reacted and said a little embarrassedly. "I originally planned to give you the Invisibility Cloak as a Christmas present, but I forgot."

Alvin was also a little surprised to hear this, this Invisibility Cloak was one of the few things Harry's parents had left him, and now he wanted to give it to himself.

Inexplicably, Alvin was a little moved.

"Harry, this is not only your parents' relic but also one of the Three Deathly Hallows. It is very precious."

Alvin pointed out the preciousness of the Invisibility Cloak and wanted Harry to understand its value.

"What are the Deathly Hallows?"

Harry looked at Alvin in confusion, and in desperation, Alvin also explained to Harry.

After listening to Alvin's introduction, Harry still didn't change his mind.

"I think you may need it more than I do. As for the Deathly Hallows, my family has held them for many years and has not discovered any mysteries, so they may not be related to us."

Alvin did not persuade him further because Harry insisted so much.

Harry borrowed the Invisibility Cloak, and Alvin also guessed the reason. It must be going to Hogsmeade.

Back in the Dorm, he took out the Invisibility Cloak and gave it to Harry. Alvin gave his advice.

"You can't activate the true effects of the Invisibility Cloak, so you won't be able to hide from the Dementors, so I suggest you go see George and Fred. They will tell you a few secrets."

Dumbledore said at the banquet that the Invisibility Cloak couldn't hide from the Dementors, but not because the Invisibility Cloak couldn't.

It means that Harry has no such ability.

The Invisibility Cloak needs to be activated with a specific rune. As long as the method is appropriate, the Invisibility Cloak can be invisible and cover all breath and smell.

After Harry heard Alvin's words, he nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just as Harry was about to return to Gryffindor's Common Room, a sudden burst of bells rang out in the corridor.

"Everyone! Assemble in the Great Hall now!"

Professor McGonagall's voice resounded throughout the castle and could be heard by little wizards wherever they were.

"What happened?"

When Alvin and Harry came to the Great Hall and saw that most of the students were already there, Harry grabbed Ron's hand and asked why.

"The Fat Lady's portrait is torn up! Sirius Black is in!"
