Ch 12- Page 394

A/N:I think broken people smile the most brightest.

I was dragging Harry with me to god knows where while cursing when we suddenly hit someone.

"Ouch" I said, while the other figure hit the floor.

The figure looked Haggard and weak though he picked himself up.

The figure was Professor Lupin.

Lupin eyed all of us and then asked.

"Harry, Blake and the others what are you all doing out of curfew.?"Remus asked weakly.

Harry and the others were out of words to speak.

"I was teaching them Expecto Patronus sir," I spoke up.

"Harry needed help with the spell, considering how Dementors seem to like him."

"Hmm, i see that's not very Syltherin of you, Blake" said Lupin with a smile, "but why were you running around shouting in the corridors?"

"Umm, Sir I don't know whether you will understand it or not but Harry has never seen Star Wars." I said a bit red faced.

"What? Harry hasn't seen Star Wars? I thought he lived with his muggle relatives?? how can they not show him?".Lupin said shocked.

"Finally someone who understand." I declared.

"You have watched Star Wars, professor?" Harry asked.

"Yes, yes, a friend of mine" Lupin said while clearly reminiscence old days, "made us watch it a long ago." then Lupin face was hit with sadness.

"Yeah, so i need to find a way to get him to watch Star Wars, but no muggle invention work here in Hogwarts so i am thinking of just taking him back Home with me right now."I said.

"As amusing as that would be Blake, i don't think you can do it right now, maybe over the Hogsmeade Weekend, Harry and you can come along with me so that we can introduce Harry to Star Wars." Lupin said with a forced smile.

" I would certainly like that Professor." I said beaming, "but are you okay Professor? you don't look so good?" I asked.

"Oh, i am fine, i just have caught a flu, i will be fine in a few days." said Lupin.

"And maybe then I you can allow me to join in these sessions of your. I am not that good but i am pretty sure i can help." Lupin offered.

"Sure Professor, we will like that." I said.

"Now i think you all should go back to your dorms before you get caught by some teacher you might deduct points from you." Lupin said.

"And you won't Professor?" I asked.

"Well i certainly can't take points from students who are helping each other, now can I?" Lupin said.

"Thanks, Professor, but do you need help? maybe i can come and leave you back at your lodgings?" I offered.

"NO, Blake I will be fine, though thank you." Said Lupin.

"Well lets go guys, and Harry you and I are gonna watch Star Wars someday." I said while taking Millicent and Notts with me leaving behind Harry, Ron and Lupin.

{NEXT DAY DADA CLASS}

Lupin was late to the class.

"I hope he is fine, he wasn't looking good the previous night." said Notts.

"Yes, he is one of the only few competent Professors that we have." Millicent added.

Suddenly Snape Barged in the room.

"Open your books to Pg 394." he declared.

"but sire we still haven't reached there." Hermoine declared.

"I am taking the Class Ms. Granger and i will be teaching whatever I want. 5points from Gryffindors for lacking proper etiquette"Snape declared.

I raised my hand,

"Yes, Mr.Rivers," Snape said.

"Is Professor Lupin fine?" I asked.

"He has just fallen sick, he will be fine in a few days. And 5 points to Slytherins for proper manners, something some other people can learn." Snape said and then went on to continue with his lesson.

Halfway through the lesson it struck me, LUPIN IS THE WEREWOLF. SHit!

I remember seeing the Werewolf in Prisoner of Azkaban Trailer, it was full moon night the day before yesterday, Lupin was coming back after suffering with his transformation.

But why is Snape leaking out his secret so openly, i am sure that it is difficult to link it back to Lupin but any sane mind which can add up events will eventually figure out that Lupin is a werewolf.

After class I immediately left for Lupin's lodging, ignoring Notts and Millicent who kept asking me where i was going.

Knocking on his door.

"Professor, its Blake are you there?"

"Uh, Blake, come on it, coming to discuss our next class plan?" Lupin asked amused.

"no, Professor, i just wanted to come and ask how are you?"

"I have seen better days certainly, and i will be fine in a few days. Thanks for your concern."Lupin said smiling.

" Professor.., I don't know how should i say this but i think i know that you are a werewolf." I said.

An awkward silence prevailed in the room.

Them with a heavy sigh Lupin finaly spoke.

"You are right Mr. Rivers, i knew that you were smart, though may i asked how you figured it out?" Lupin asked

"Professor Snake took class on Lycanthropy today, including the fact that you incidentally fell sick the very day after a full moon and Professor Snape's choice of topic made me add it all up." I said.

"Well I certainly should get packing now." Lupin said sadly.

"Why? I mean i am not telling anyone, and what people know won't harm them. And personally you are my favorite DADA professor." I said.

"Well thank you Blake" Lupin said with comfort coming on his face.

"So where do you get Wolf's bane from? I mean that's the only thing effective against Lycanthropy." I asked.

"Professor Snape may not like me much because of our past differences but he does brew it for me." Lupin answered

"Well maybe i can ask him to teach me that, I am already good at potions so i may pick it up quick. And then you wouldn't have to owe him any favours."

"That's very polite of you Blake but i don't see the need of it." Lupin said.

"By the way Professor the friend who showed you Stars Wars was he a Muggle?" I asked.

"She was a muggle yes, one of the smartest witch i ever knew." Lupin said.

I spent the next hour with Lupin discussing about Lycanthropy and preparation of our class.

A/N: Next few chapters may take some time, I am not able to write properly cause of exams.
