Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts

Chapter 290: “Remus Lupin”

Chapter 290: “Remus Lupin”

Sean listed all the people he knew, but he didn’t find anyone who was particularly suitable. The best candidate is Hermione, she is smart enough and enthusiastic, and there is no need to question the chemistry between the two, but Hermione is still a student at school after all, while the others are subpar.

Sean has not found a suitable candidate for the time being and holds this matter. He plans to continue looking for candidates for the rest of the summer vacation. During this period, the team formed by his father will handle most of the affairs until the handover.

Now that we are at a critical stage of the election, emerging organizations are likely to touch the hearts of those politicians. Sean once again went to Godric’s Hollow with Hermione.

The gathering this time was as happy as the last one. However, the current situation was tense. James and Sirius had to work until dark every day before coming back, but the atmosphere in Potter’s house was still very pleasant.

After dinner, Sean and Harry played wizard chess on the carpet. While James and Sirius just watched them play and gave them move suggestions. On the chessboard, Sean’s bishop kicked Harry’s king, and Daisy, who was watching the game, cheered.

“Hey, Sirius! It’s all your fault!” Harry complained, and Sirius’ bad idea just now made him lose several chess pieces one after another.

“And you, Daisy. Why are you cheering him? I am your brother!” He did not forget his sister.

Daisy blinked, “I cheer for the winner!”

Sirius scratched his slightly and gave Harry a look, “Are you questioning my intelligence? If your father hadn’t intervened with the game just now, we would have won by now.”

James was on Sean’s side, drank a sip of beer comfortably, and said, “I must correct you. It was Daisy who accidentally touched Sean’s pawn. Besides, Harry, there is no doubt about it that Sirius is a little slow.”

Then, the two middle-aged men grabbed beer bottles and wrestled together. Hermione on the sofa, took a look and then turned her attention back. She was reading the Daily Prophet, on which was a photo of the Ron family and his two uncles.

Mr. Weasley won the lottery, and the whole family traveled to Egypt.

Hermione was particularly envious because she had always wanted to know more about the history of wizards in other parts of the world.

The Granger family originally planned to go to Paris for vacation in the summer. But the memory of Muggles was erased after that incident, and a lot of damage was caused on the scene. Her father thinks the situation in Paris is in turmoil, and it’s better not to go on vacation there.

Hermione, who failed to learn about the history of magic in Paris as she wished, still completed Professor Binns’s homework. Sean chatted with Hermione for a while and talked about his idea of ??the social welfare system. She was very interested and expressed that she wanted to learn more about it and participate in it in her spare time.

Daisy had been sitting on the carpet and lying on Hermione’s lap, suddenly asked Sean, “Sean, did your plan include accidental damage by magic?”

Sean nodded, “Yes. If someone’s daily life is affected by various magical injuries, my organization will also provide a little help.”

Daisy nodded thoughtfully and then asked, “Is the person in charge decided yet?”

Sean was a little distressed, “I can’t find a suitable candidate. I’m going to write to Professor McGonagall and ask her to recommend Hogwarts students who have graduated in the past. At least the trust level is higher than that in Diagon Alley.”

Hermione interjected, “The work can be handed over to those people, but the main person in charge still needs to know the basics.”

“That’s the problem,” Sean spread his hands, “We are all in school, and James and the others have their own jobs. I’m not that familiar with them outside, so I don’t feel at ease handing them over to others.”

“I do have someone to recommend.” Daisy blinked.

“Who?” Sean asked curiously.

“Oh, I told you once, and my dad’s good friend, Remus Lupine.”

Sean suddenly realized that this was indeed a good candidate—kind, loyal to friends, and capable.

Daisy glanced at her father and uncle, climbed onto the sofa, and whispered, “Dad doesn’t speak much about him. But I think Uncle Lupin is a very good person. He still has some of his own problems recently…”

She hesitated more and more and finally shook her head, “No, no, although you are my good friends, I cannot reveal Uncle Lupin’s secret.”

Hermione was confused for a while and looked at Daisy suspiciously.

Knowing that Lupin is a werewolf, Sean certainly understands Daisy’s hesitation. He smiled gently at her, “Of course, you trust the candidate you recommended. If you have any concerns, you might as well discuss it with the others.”

Daisy turned her head, her ears were slightly red, and then she stood up abruptly, “I’ll do my best!”

After finishing speaking, her white socks stomped on the floor, and ran away. After a while, Daisy came back with James, Lily and Sirius.

Both James and Sirius returned to the seriousness they had when they were working in the Ministry of Magic. He looked at Sean, “Sean, the one that Daisy said, the social welfare organization you want to organize, are you serious? I mean, I know your father is very rich, but this is no child’s play.”

Sean sat up straight on the sofa, “Of course I’m serious.”

He added, “Come on, you know me.”

James and the others looked at each other. Sean was indeed a person of word. They highly noted his sense of maturity and sense of responsibility.

After thinking for a while, James said, “Of course we trust you. Daisy told me that you still need a person in charge. Remus Lupin, she mentioned, is our best friend. You definitely don’t need to doubt him. I can guarantee him with my life.”

“And mine,” Sirius interjected.

“It’s just…how should I put it…” James hesitated.

Sirius looked at his best friend and said, “Remus’ matter is not a big deal, and Sean and Hermione are not outsiders. Moreover, Remus’s situation has to be known to him.”

“But we didn’t ask his permission.”

“Please, don’t you know Remus’ character? He’s kind but hesitant. He’s even scared, and you’ve made him say it for himself.”

“But that’s his secret. We are indeed best friends, but we have to respect him.”

“What does this have to do with respect? He has worked hard enough these years, and Remus has a strong personality. Look, is he willing to accept our support for so many years? I want to give him a Christmas gift, but he doesn’t want a house.”

“But we can’t be the one to decide for him.”

“This is not a decision to help him. This is a good opportunity to help him out.”

Suddenly, the two argued until Daisy stood between them.

“Dad? Uncle Black?”

“Okay, okay.”

It took a long time for the family to discuss in low voices before returning to Sean.

James looked at Sean, “There is one thing I must tell you, Remus definitely meets your requirements. But he has some differences from ordinary people, I will tell you, and you decide whether to hire him or not.”

“Of course, Mr. Potter, and I will never reveal this secret.”

“I know you and Hermione will not…” James hesitated for a while and finally said, “Well, my friend, Remus Lupin, is a werewolf. But now, under the Wolfsbane potion effect, he is fine, but he will transform when there is a full moon.”

Hermione opened her mouth wide in surprise while Sean just blinked innocently.

“Uh, you don’t know about werewolves?” James asked Sean.

“I know, a werewolf.”

“The kind that can transform and bite people.”

Sean said, “Why are you making such a fuss?”

“Then, you don’t have any… so, what’s your opinion?”

Sean spread his hands, “My social welfare organization is to help these unfortunate people, and isn’t this Mr. Lupin, your good friend? He is trustworthy enough, and he is under the Wolfsbane Potion, which is enough for me,”

Holding his friend’s shoulders, Sirius laughed, “Ha, I told you. Sean had already seen many things and you’re just overthinking it.”

Daisy gave Sean a smile, “Sean, I knew it!”

James shrugged, but there was also a relaxed smile on his face, “Okay, okay, I thought too much. I apologize.”

The next day, in the living room of Potter’s house. Sean met Lupin, whom he had only met once last time. His face was as pale as ever, and he looked tired.

“Hey, James, Sirius. Isn’t this a peculiar situation?”

“Damn, are you out of your mind?”

“Is the message I gave you not clear enough?”

They argued in the hall for a while, and then Lupin walked in.

Sean stepped forward and shook his hand firmly, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lupin.”

“Oh, thank you.” Lupin felt the warmth and respect from people other than the Potter family.

“Mr. Lupin, let’s get straight to the point. I will tell you in detail the content and intensity of the work of the person in charge. I declare in advance that because we are still in the initial stage, the work intensity will be relatively high.”

“Sorry to interrupt.” Lupin looked at the boy who was talking in front of him with some embarrassment.

“Any questions?”

“Uh, well. I’m a werewolf. Has James and the others told you about it?”

Sean looked at him, “I know.”

“And you want me to work for you?”

“Well, do you want to?” Sean suddenly became serious, “Mr. Lupin, what I’m about to say is serious.”

Lupin subconsciously sat up straight.

“Although you are a good friend of Mr. Potter and the others, and you are Daisy and Harry’s uncle. This only proves your character and work still depends on your ability.”

“Of course…” Lupin replied, then turned to look at his friend.

James and Sirius, who had stood at the door, gave him a look.

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Sean and said in relief, “Okay, let’s talk about the work.”

After a long talk, Sean clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Lupin was a Hufflepuff’s prefect back then, so he was naturally capable enough to run a big organization. Although he had been unhappy in these years because of his identity as a werewolf, he had quite strong communication skills with the lower class. With his character, Sean felt he couldn’t find a more suitable candidate.

“Nice working with you, Mr. Lupin.” He stood up and shook hands with him.

“Yes, yes.” Lupin took Sean’s hand and let out a sigh.

He even felt a little unreal now, but he got the job in just half an hour. He was a werewolf, got a decent job, and even his salary was not much different from James, who was the head of the Guards Office of the British Ministry of Magic.

Since just a few days ago, he was still worrying about next month’s rent.

Even Dumbledore just said that he would try his best to help him find a job in the school, but he didn’t guarantee whether it would be a professor or another position.

As for Sean, he didn’t care about his identity as a werewolf. He was interviewing himself naturally, and it went pretty well.

The others rushed in. Sirius put his arms around his friend’s neck and laughed loudly at Sean.

“Are you satisfied with his capability?”

“Of course,” Sean smiled and replied, “Mr. Lupin is very capable and is exactly the person I need. “

Sirius hammered Lupine’s chest, “After you get your first pay, you owe me a drink.”

Lupin looked at the group of people smiling at him, and he couldn’t help laughing, “Okay, I’ll treat you guys later.”

A week after Sean has found a good candidate and Lupin gets the job, the election for Minister of Magic begins. With the campaign in full swing, Fudge clearly found a lot of support, but Barty Crouch was better prepared and more vocal.

On the same day, the results of the election came out, and Barty Crouch was successfully elected as the minister.

On the second day, Barty Jr. sent Sean a message.

“Master, you may be interested in the information I just got.”
