Chapter 262: The Pass Of Ti
Ten Years Later…
Remus Lupin was at his desk, finishing the revision of the last tests of the year.
"Sigh… it's finally over." He leaned back on his chair and relaxed for a bit.
"I don't know how Jas has been doing this for a decade already…" For Remus, it's only been two years since he beca a professor.
After graduating, he spent so ti earning his title as Rune Master in Germany.
Normally, registered werewolves were not allowed to travel abroad, but thanks to Jas's last iteration of the wolfsbane potion, and how accessible he made it for the masses, so of those laws had been rewritten.
Because of this, he was able to pursue his passion instead of having to settle for a different subject.
This was just one more thing that Remus would never be able to repay Jas for.
He was starting to reminisce about the past when soone knocked on the door.
"Yes?"
"Professor Lupin. There is a letter for you before the door."
"Mmm?" Remus recognized the voice. This was one of his students. "Miss Blake? Would you mind passing it under the door?" He figured that the poor owl must have waited for him to open the door, and eventually gave up, leaving it there.
He had been extrely focused on the evaluations.
A mont later, a small letter appeared on his office floor. "Thank you." Remus stood up from his chair and went to pick it up.
"Oh… finally!" A smile appeared on his face when he realized who this letter was from. "Sirius is coming back! I need to go tell the others."
Their friend Sirius was now a fully fledged Curse Breaker and was working for Gringotts as a freelancer.
His last mission had been apparently very difficult, and they hadn't received any communication from him in almost a year.
"Honestly… he got worried this ti." If it hadn't been for Jas's reassurances that Sirius was not in danger, he and Peter would have gone to find him.
Remus grabbed his things and left his office.
They were in their final week of school at Hogwarts, and classes were over for the most part, so students were now crowding the halls.
"Excuse ." Remus had to move aside so of them to pass by. There was a very long distance from his office, which was on the sixth floor, to Jas', which was deep in the dungeons.
"Sorry, Professor." One student apologized and moved out of the way.
"Professor Lupin, hi!" Another one greeted him with a smile.
Despite being fairly new, Remus had beco a very popular educator among the student body.
However, much to his dismay, his popularity was not just because of his teaching skills.
"Professor Lupin…" A senior female student got in front of him. She was holding a piece of parchnt in her hand. "This is for you, Professor…" The girl handed him the note with a blush on her face.
Remus wanted to roll his eyes. This must have been the fifteenth love letter he had received this year.
'At least they are usually from senior students…' He was, of course, not interested in the advances of Hogwarts's female population, but didn't want to look rude, so he nodded, took the note, and thanked the girl, promising her to read it later.
Eventually, he was able to reach the dungeons and made his way directly to Jas's office while passing a few Slytherin students in the anti.
It was a year before Remus joined the teaching staff at Hogwarts that Professor Slughorn finally decided to retire, thus leaving a spot for the position of Potions Professor, which Jas promptly took, as it was the subject that he had the most passion for.
Thus, he moved his office and laboratory to the dungeons.
Remus knocked on the door of Jas's office and waited for an answer.
"I shouldn't be too surprised…" He said to himself after seeing no response. "The laboratory it is." This was where Jas spent most of his free ti in school.
"At least it's close by." Remus turned to his right and continued walking further into the dungeons until he reached a large door at the end of a long corridor.
Remus glanced at the dozens of warning signs spread across the walls and beca sowhat uneasy.
This area was off-limits for students, and anyone caught in here would be given detention for months.
This was for their own safety, as there had been a few incidents in the past that involved toxic fus and/or explosions.
"Okay… let's go…" He gently knocked on the door.
There was no imdiate response, but Remus could hear noises coming from inside, so he was fairly sure that Jas was in there.
After waiting for a bit, he knocked again. "Jas, it's … Remus."
He finally heard the sounds of steps approaching the door, and a mont later, the door opened up.
"Remus?... what is it?" Jas poked his head out.
"Jas, it's…" Remus froze when he saw Jas. "What happened to you?!"
"Mmmm?... what do you an?" Jas tilted his head in confusion.
"Your hair! It's blue!" Remus exclaid. His friend usually had unkempt hair, but this was too much.
"Oh…" Jas acted like he had just noticed it. "You're right, it's blue. It must have been the fus caused by burning the calipy feather… or maybe it was…" He began to mutter softly, and Remus could no longer hear what he was saying.
"Anyway…" Remus cleared his throat. "I ca to tell you that I received a ssage from Sirius." He took the note from his pocket and handed it to Jas.
"Let see…" Jas opened it up and read its contents. "This sounds like a love letter."
"Ah!" Remus realized he had given Jas the wrong piece of parchnt.
"What have you two been doing lately?..." Jas gave him a suspicious look.
"It's not that one! Here!" He now gave Jas the correct one.
"I see, so he is finally done exploring that cave in Central Arica." Jas nodded before turning his attention to his friend. "I'm assuming that you want the four of us to get together."
"Of course! I'm sure Peter will be thrilled. I know how lonely he gets sotis." Remus and Jas spent most of the year at Hogwarts, and with Sirius traveling so much, Peter doesn't get to see them often.
"Alright… I suppose I could postpone my project for a bit," said Jas. "Let contact Sirius and Peter. Where should we et?"
"We have to wait for the students to leave, so… what about next week at Hogsade?" Remus proposed.
