Chapter 317: End of the School Year

Outside the staff room, Ron waited quietly by the door. As he saw Harry and Lupin, he excitedly waved to them.

"Harry, Professor Lupin, you finally came!"

"Where's Hermione?" Harry asked curiously, looking around. He spotted Hermione's figure around a corner, whispering with Professor McGonagall.

Soon, they approached with smiles, walking together into the staff room. The room had been rearrangeda long table now stood where the old black wooden chairs used to be piled near the fireplace.

Fawkes had cast a spell on the ceiling, causing colorful ribbons to hang down. Felix conjured a small white ball that floated up to the ceiling, emitting a gentle light that warmed and brightened the room. Hagrid carried a large bucket of mead, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall turned the decorations on the table into miniature animals with laughter.

Harry momentarily forgot the sadness of parting and dug into the food. Upon Hagrid's recommendation, he even tried a small glass of homemade elf-made grape wine. Just as Professor McGonagall shot a reproachful look, Hagrid took his glass away, saying, "You're still young, Harry..."

Apart from various piping-hot dishes and sweet puddings, there were also several novel dishes on the table. Ron speared a meatball dripping with sauce and asked curiously, "What's this? Haven't seen it before." He put the fork in his mouth and his eyes lit up. "Harry, Hermione, you have to try this!"nove(l)bi(n.)com

Harry picked up a yellow square that tasted sweet and tangy. "It's pineapple," he said with certainty.

"What's this dish called?"

A house-elf, wearing a chef's hat, respectfully answered, "This is Pineapple Sweet and Sour Meat, a recently developed dish. Mr. Hagrid received a cookbook from Professor Snape as a Christmas gift, and it contains many magical recipes."

Hesitatingly, Hermione said, "Are you a house-elf from the kitchen? Why not join us..."

The house-elf named Yuenbo stepped back a few paces. "We'll dine in the kitchen," he bowed, "The dishes are ready, please enjoy." With a loud pop, he disappeared.

"You scared him, Hermione," Ron chuckled.

At this point, Professor McGonagall began to inquire about Lupin's plans after leaving the school. Lupin shared his intention to apply for a job he saw in the newspaper. "I'm qualified in most areas except for Ancient Runes. I'm preparing to submit a resume."

Professor McGonagall smiled warmly, "Which company is it? Maybe I know them and can help you write a recommendation letter."

Lupin replied gently, "It's a new company called 'Future World,' though I don't know much about them yet"

"Future World?" Felix repeated with an odd look. He examined Lupin with a curious gaze, leaving Lupin somewhat puzzled. After a while, Felix raised his glass. "You'll surely succeed, Lupin."

"Thank you."

"Cheers!"

Their goblets clinked.

...

"I should go find Fred and George, their bottoms are going to be bruised by Mum..." Ron said.

When they entered the Great Hall, they saw Professor Lupin already surrounded by excited students. Percy announced loudly, "All Exceeds Expectations!"

Jeffrey reminded him, "You forgot Marcus."

"Alright, there's one 'Acceptable'... I'll try my best to overlook that."

Felix was stuck in the center of the crowd, taking a while to extricate himself, but it was a happy annoyance. The seventh-year graduates continued to celebrate fervently. Even Snape didn't take any points from them, which was unimaginable in the past.

"Severus, I need a stable supply of Wolfsbane Potion."

"For that werewolf?" Snape said disgustedly. Since the night of the battle on the causeway, he had not mentioned Lupin's name in conversations with Felix, referring to him as 'that werewolf'.

"You don't strike me as one to meddle in others' business," he remarked.

Felix sighed, "He would be an excellent employee."

"Your company?" Snape asked, not immediately refusing, but rather considering seriously, "Are you still accepting investments?"

"If it were anyone else, I would decline, but you're different, Severus."

"Give me a title, it better be higher than that werewolf's, and I will personally interview him." Snape pinched his fingers, revealing a sinister smile.

"Your expression looks terrifying, the little wizard almost dropped his fork."

Snape glanced and said disdainfully, "A foolish lad eating pie in my class. I had him dissect two large buckets of Bundimun's guts."

"Is that so? No wonder he looked familiar..."
