"Merlin! Hope, do you know what you are doing?!"

"That's just a doll costume. I wore it for Remus before - no! Were you scolding me just now? Did you say dirty words?!"

"No! I didn't! Merlin's beard is the curse word - eh, it's not important! I know it's just a doll suit, but after Remus was scared to tears, didn't we just agree not to take that suit away again? Are you out?!"

"Kokalan is just a child! I know he is very powerful, but he is still just a child. What if he is frightened after Remus transforms? He has to get used to it in advance!"

“But it doesn’t have to be a doll costume!”

The noise downstairs continued. Remus, holding a werewolf hood, was walking in front. He wanted to take Karan to the guest room that had been packed in advance.

"I heard that you often move?" Karan suddenly asked out of curiosity.

Remus nodded expressionlessly as he tugged on the slightly larger doll costume.

"It seems that the reason is not just because of you." Karan muttered inexplicably: "The noise during the quarrel was so loud, it's strange that the neighbors didn't hear it."

"not like this."

Lime immediately turned around and said, somewhat like he was explaining: "My parents never quarrel, and this is the first time I've seen them so excited."

The description of "excited" is indeed correct. At least so far, Karan has not heard the sound of anything being thrown.

His arrival brought a lot of life to this always gloomy family. The Lupins, who had been depressed for a long time, forgot how to express this emotion and could only express it by yelling at each other.

Within a few seconds, the noise gradually weakened and turned into suppressed sobs. Karan looked downstairs through the fence. Mr. Leal and Mrs. Hope were hugging each other and crying, and the colored paper was still hanging. In their hair, the scene is both touching and comical.

Seemingly out of embarrassment and embarrassment, Remus did not poke his head to look. He quickened his pace and soon led Callan into a clean and tidy bedroom. Mrs. Hope had obviously cleaned it carefully, which was even better than Callan's. The rooms in your own home also need to be spotless.

Karan put down his luggage and stood in front of the desk, staring at the pot of green plants on it.

"So this doll costume doesn't belong to you?" He asked while fiddling with the leaves: "If I had known that your acting skills were so superb, I should have chosen you to play the role of a werewolf in the play. Even though you didn't appear in the show in the end, you could still rehearse well for a few days. Second-rate."

Remus was struggling to take off his doll clothes. After hearing Karan's words, he almost tripped over the wolf claws under his feet. Then he glanced at Karan strangely, suspecting that he might really think so. of.

"This is my mom's doll costume."

Remus kicked the wolf claw aside and began to pull hard on the pullover sweater on his body. He finally decided to explain: "That was when I was very young, so young that I didn't have much memory, and I had just turned into a werewolf. My mother specially prepared this doll suit, and she would often wear it for me to show me that I am not different in this family, and also to stop me from feeling scared."

"She is just a Muggle. She cannot use magic. There are not many things she can do. During the full moon, she could only stay aside and shed tears, watching her father subdue me alone."

"But she did that as a mother."

This is really a touching story. It is hard to imagine how much Mrs. Hope endured alone and how much effort she put in for her son Remus - especially when she constantly realized that she was just a Muggle and could not help in any way. , I can only watch with heartache.

But Karan's focus was different. He sat on the soft bed and asked: "So you were scared to tears? In front of Mrs. Hope in a doll costume? That scene must be very funny. Are there any photos?" "

Remus looked at Kahlan blankly, he was a little angry.

"I haven't asked you yet!"

He hung the heavy sweater around his neck and carefully closed the bedroom door. Then, with a deliberately serious face, he asked Karan: "How did you deceive my parents? They actually believed that you could cure the disease." Werewolf? Just one student?"

Although Remus knew that Callan was very powerful, this was only limited to the level of wandless magic - in order to help James and Sirius, he had tried to learn wandless magic, but he could not succeed. It was much more difficult than he thought - truly performing wandless magic was completely different from the magical riots caused as a child.

In addition, although he dislikes the conflict between the two parties, Remus will undoubtedly side with the Marauders - this name has just been established, and he does not want to become a traitor in the eyes of his hard-won friends.

Unfortunately, against the backdrop of the half-taken-off doll suit, Remus didn't look ferocious at all. His pale face even made him look extra thin and pitiful, and Karan couldn't help but think that he was going to scream out again. .

"Uh - cough." Karan quickly suppressed his laughter and asked directly: "Have you not contacted Professor Kettleburn? He turned into a werewolf, but I saved him once. This is better than light." Doesn’t it sound more believable?”

Remus' expression immediately turned sad.

"The owl has just been sent out not long ago, but Professor Kettleburn has already gone to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary. It will probably take a long time to receive a reply."

During Mr. Leal's absence, Mrs. Hope, who had heard the entire rescue experience from her husband, had already told Remus the facts.Of course Mrs. Hope would not doubt her husband, especially if there were things related to werewolves.

But Remus is not so gullible - as a werewolf, he understands how terrifying the full moon is, and it is a completely irresistible force.And he was even more worried that his parents would be disappointed again, which was even more uncomfortable than turning into a werewolf and recalling everything.

"So that's it." Karan nodded slightly: "Then just wait for two more days. Anyway, there is still some time before the full moon."

Remus' head was pressed even lower by the hood.

"we can only do this."

He said weakly, and now he just wanted to take off this heavy doll suit quickly.

wrong? !

Remus suddenly realized, why was he talking to Callan so loudly?

So under Callan's strange gaze, Remus once again deliberately kept a straight face. He walked to the door, racking his brains to think of whether he should say a harsh word.

"I'll keep an eye on you!"

He said finally, and then quickly swallowed back the "ouch" that almost blurted out.

"Uh-oh!"

Karan made a long sound. He was really frightened by Remus - a guy with even worse acting skills than Regulus appeared!

"Why are you going to stare at me?" Karan asked subconsciously.

Remus was actually thinking!

He shook his head, and the sweater around his neck turned left and right, but this bedroom was well prepared. Mrs. Hope even wanted to secretly use the cleaning spell, but fortunately she was persuaded in time.

"Would you like anything to drink?" Remus asked, blinking.

Karan suddenly became interested: "Is there strawberry juice?"

"There happens to be some - eh?" Remus closed the door in confusion: "Is that prepared in advance for Karan? I thought it was specially for me to drink..."

Remus, who felt inexplicably aggrieved, went to prepare juice. Callan was just lying on the bed and wanted to take a good rest, but soon Mr. and Mrs. Lupin knocked on the door and walked in.

"Strawberry juice, I heard this is your favorite drink."

Mrs. Hope smiled and handed over a pink cup. Mr. Lear stood behind her, his face still slightly embarrassed by the farce just now.

"What do you think of this place?" Mr. Lear asked pretending not to care, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Karan could see the tension between the two.

"Very good." He smiled and said, "Everything is fine."

Mrs. Hope picked up the wolf claw that Remus had thrown away earlier. She asked hesitantly: "What about this doll costume...?"

"no need!"

Karan quickly refused: "I'm not afraid of werewolves, it's true! You can ask Mr. Lear!"

"It's true..." Mr. Lear said helplessly: "There were more than ten werewolves in the secret room, but Karan was calmer than an adult like me - I've told you this a long time ago. "

Mrs. Hope quietly glared at Mr. Leal, then smiled gently when she turned to look at Callan again.

After much talking, the Lupins finally left the bedroom.Karan's stomach felt much better after drinking strawberry juice. He did not continue to lie on the bed to rest, but opened the suitcase on the floor.

A staircase appeared in front of Karan, and he quickly walked to the workroom. Wolf, lying on his side on the floor, nodded slightly to him.

"what--"

Karan habitually rested his head on Wolf, and the soft touch finally made him gradually relax.

"Steve is really lucky. I should have borrowed his suitcase a long time ago."

Wolf could tell that Callan was deceiving poor little Steve, and he rolled over slightly, letting Callan's head fall to the floor.

"As for..." Karan complained, rubbing the back of his head. At this time, he heard a knock on the door from the bedroom, and then Remus walked in.

"Mom actually brought him juice? Why didn't you tell me...Karan? No - Sangster? Where are you?"

"Here!" Callan shouted, moving to lie on Wolf again, with no intention of getting up.Wolf didn't stop him even after swiping his tail twice.

"here?"

Remus walked towards the open suitcase in confusion. He peeked inside with a strange expression, and then almost screamed!

"You, you, you, you -" He trembled with his fingers, not knowing whether it was because he felt strange about the Seamless Stretching Charm, or because Moon Wolf was frightened. As a result, the tray and water glass in his hand accidentally fell down the stairs.

"Careful—!" Remus shouted subconsciously, but he saw that both the cup and the tray suddenly stopped in mid-air, and even the juice did not spill out at all.

This is Karan's wandless magic. He let the cup fall into his hand, and then stretched it towards Wolf. After drinking it all, he finally stood up and picked up the Nimbus 1001 that had been prepared nearby. Si walked up the stairs with shocked gaze.

"What's the matter, children?"

Mrs. Hope asked loudly in the living room: "Do you need me to come over?"

Karan closed the suitcase as if nothing had happened, Remus was still staring at him blankly.

"Remus, Remus? Callan? Are you there?"

Mrs. Hope's voice got closer and closer, and Remus was horrified to find that Callan was opening the window and riding on the broom.

"what are you going to do?"

Remus asked with his eyes widened: "Are you leaving? Where do you plan to go?"

"Go out and play for a while." Callan put the suitcase on the handle in front of the broom, and then took out an invisibility cloak from his pocket - this was Steve's one. After deciding to help Remus, Karan asked Steve to send it to him through magic gold coins for two days.

"Want to go together?" He turned around and asked, with a smile on his face.

Remus didn't know what expression he should show in front of this ridiculous scene, but Mrs. Hope had already walked to the bedroom door and knocked twice.

"Dear?" She asked standing outside the door: "Are you in the guest room?"

"In-in! I'm in there, Mom!"

Remus was startled - Mrs. Hope couldn't let Mrs. Hope see Callan's appearance, she would be frightened!

【What on earth are you doing? ! 】

Remus quietly blocked the bedroom door. He turned around and silently questioned Karan. This time, he was really angry.

But Karan just turned his head in the direction of the window. The broom was already floating in the air at his feet, and the invisibility cloak was floating on his head.

"You're so-well..."

Remus could only respond to Mrs. Hope outside the bedroom: "I'm fine...Callan is fine too! We were just discussing - electives, yes, the electives for the third grade, wait a moment If you come out again, don’t come in!”

"Don't come in?" Mrs. Hope looked at her husband worriedly.

Mr. Lear said nonchalantly: "What else can boys of this age discuss, of course it's the girls at school."

"Are you talking about Remus?" Mrs. Hope asked with doubtful eyes, "Or are you talking about yourself?"

"Uh-" Mr. Lear blinked.

"I still have manuscripts to write." He ran away as if running away, and Mrs. Hope stared at his back with an unkind look.

At this moment, a shoe was secretly exposed from the second floor window, but it was quickly wrapped tightly by the invisibility cloak.

The invisible broomstick rose higher and higher, and soon it was completely away from the community on the ground. Finally, Remus could not suppress the shouting: "Are you crazy?! If it wasn't to keep an eye on you, how could I Lying to my parents?! What on earth are you going to do? Are you really planning to run away before being exposed?!"

"Because it's more convenient." Karan said calmly.

"Convenience? What convenience?" Remus was still angry. He grasped the handle under his hand and said, "Can't you just say it clearly if you have anything to say?"

"Then you won't come out with me so easily."

Karan chuckled softly, and at the same time, the invisibility cloaks above the two men quietly closed up, completely exposing their heads in mid-air.

"Take a good look." He smiled in the fierce wind: "Not many werewolves can afford such a good flying broomstick, and no werewolves can be exposed to the sky without any scruples."

Remus felt a little unhappy because of Callan's remarks, and he couldn't help but frown - but then he was deeply attracted by the unobstructed scenery - the two of them were flying hundreds of feet in the air, The exposed heads were just two black spots in the eyes of people on the ground. The clouds were around them, and the dazzling sun seemed to be within reach.

This was a scenery that Remus had never seen before, and it even made him forget the fear of being in the sky - this was his first real trip out during this vacation.

But for the first time, he flew directly into the sky.

Two black spots shuttled through the mist of the clouds. When they came out again, they were both wet, and then quickly dried under the strong wind. Remus opened his eyes with all his strength, fearing to miss any of them. The picture, even the water droplets disappearing from the clothes, feels pity.

After flying happily for a while, the broom finally slowly descended and landed on an open grassland, surrounded by deserted areas and only a small stream flowing gently.

The two jumped off the broom one after another, and it wasn't until they stepped on the ground that Remus realized that his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

"You should rest for a while." Karan said, opening the suitcase.

"No - no need to rest!" Remus retorted subconsciously. He wanted to say that he could continue playing like this all day long, but Kahlan had already disappeared into the suitcase, making him miss the opportunity to express his true thoughts. opportunity, and then the worries hidden in my heart rushed to my face - what on earth is going on?

Remus looked around in fear. This place was so remote and terrible. Karan definitely chose such a place on purpose, but why did he do it?

Could it be...that the giant wolf is hungry?

Wolf had slowly walked outside the suitcase. He found an extra soft place and habitually lay down on his side again. Then he used his eyes to indicate that Remus, a strange boy, could rest his head on his fur. That was it. Ways to express kindness.

Remus stared at it silently, not daring to move.

It seemed he had left his wand at home.

"I...I don't taste good at all!"

Remus's body trembled again, but this time it wasn't from excitement, but from pure fear.

Wolf was stunned.

Remus was a little surprised. Why could he see disgust in the eyes of a giant wolf?

"almost."

At this time, Karan also revealed his head from the open door of the suitcase: "You can come in, Remus. That's Wolf, don't be afraid of it. How can such a beautiful animal be a bad guy? Just like you, a werewolf Isn’t there a kind-hearted guy like you in this place?”

[Why is it that when you come to me, you become kind and not good-looking? 】

Remus thought strangely in his heart, but he still carefully walked around Wolf. After staring at it for a long time, he couldn't help but suddenly touched the shiny fur, and then slipped into the suitcase like a puff of smoke. His heart was still beating hard when he walked into the workroom, and he couldn't help but look back several times.

"What are you looking at?" Karan asked warily, and he also took out his wand.

"Is there anyone else around? I obviously chose this place after observing it from the sky for a long time."

"No...no." Remus shook his head and replied.

"wrong!"

Just as Karan opened the door of the workshop, he suddenly shouted in horror: "What are you going to do? Do you have to deliberately choose such a place?! Study me? Or sell me? The wolf cub is worthless!"

"This is for safety reasons. To avoid causing too much noise in a while, which cannot be blocked by just a suitcase."

The expression on Karan's face became even weirder: "Didn't James tell you anything? Forget about the suitcase, he even carried the jumping pot... He only did it for you... ."

Remus didn't hear clearly what Callan said next.

"For me? What?" he asked with his ears pricked up.

"Let him talk to you." Karan didn't reveal much: "It's okay if you don't know much, so as not to be scared again later."

But Remus was completely frightened by Callan's inexplicable behavior, which was even more exaggerated than James and Sirius' usual violations of school rules.

But after hesitating for a long time, he followed Karan into the space deep in the suitcase. This was the first time he had seen such a magical traceless stretching spell, and he even temporarily forgot to continue to condemn Karan.

Finally, after walking into a bamboo forest, Karan stopped.

In front of him stood a table that was incompatible with the surroundings. Under it was the ever-extinguishing Gubralite fairy fire. Next to it was an object tightly wrapped in flowing cloth - Remus blinked strangely. Blink, that looks familiar.

Karan quickly opened the package, revealing the golden jumping cauldron inside.

The crucible stayed quiet for a while, and then a foot suddenly grew out from under him, jumping up and down in front of Karan.

"What the hell is this?" Remus was so frightened that he took several steps back. He stared at Karan closely and resisted the urge to turn around and run away.

"It's a good thing I didn't choose you, otherwise I would have to do it all over again." Karan was not in a hurry to answer Remus' question. After placing the jumping cauldron on the fairy fire, he finally looked back at Remus.

At the same time, a silver knife on the long table floated slowly. It jumped over the side of Karan's head, suspended in the air, and spun silently in Remus's horrified eyes.

"it's your turn."

Karan said calmly.

"It's up to you, bleeding."
