Chapter 945 Alpha Wolf

Dumbledore rejected Elena's suggestion to attack the Ministry of Magic. She was not surprised, but he still reminded Dumbledore that there was a place called Auschwitz concentration camp on the European continent decades ago. , except that the werewolves were not detained there.

She knew that Dumbledore could never be the one to challenge the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and she also knew that the werewolf problem was more complicated than it had been during World War II.

But Elena knew very well that now was by no means the best time to save those captured werewolves.

The "Werewolf Restriction Act" has just been passed by the Ministry of Magic, and the wizarding world has not yet become cold and solid against the oppression of these aliens.

Many werewolves still have unrealistic illusions about the magical government and bureaucrats. Otherwise, with Grindelwald's ability to create chaos on the side, there would not be only a few seven headed by Fenrir Greyback. Eight werewolves managed to escape the Aurors.

In fact, according to news from the Ministry of Magic, most werewolves chose to give up resistance when facing Aurors.

"This is a long tug-of-war. We have to wait patiently for the moment when the flames appear-"

Elena sat on the railing of the bleachers outside the owl shed, watching the owls disappearing into the darkness of the sky, and said softly.

"Unlike Gringotts, the werewolves lack the sense of resistance. They have not yet despaired of the world. No one can save those who give up resistance. But this time we cannot stand idly by for too long - they will become Starfire. Not a drop of blood on a medal of merit.”

"What if you haven't waited for the flames?"

Grindelwald folded his hands and leaned against a pillar not far away, half of his body hidden in the shadows.

Not far away from the two of them, the house elves Burleigh and Dobby were still tying letters to the owls' talons.

The werewolf community that Cornelius Fudge can control is limited to the United Kingdom. As the first generation of Dark Lords who once swept the European continent, Grindelwald and the Saints' footprints are not limited to the British Isles. They control ten times the number of people in the United Kingdom. The secret gathering place of the werewolf community known to the Ministry of Magic.

"How could you not wait? You didn't seem to have worried about this problem when you lit the fire in Paris, right?"

Elena glanced at Grindelwald with a strange expression, while pointing at the owls fluttering away.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has the largest independent messenger system in the wizarding world. Since Professor Dumbledore has agreed to open the school's 'public mail' rights to us, this means that we can send messages to werewolves in the wizarding world at the same time. 'Semi-anonymous' alert—"

"At the same time, you also bought propaganda articles from newspapers in various countries, right?"

Grindelwald shook his head and glanced at the girl sitting on the railing with her calves shaking with complicated eyes.

"The great success of the British Ministry of Magic's operation and the overwhelming praise of the "Werewolf Restriction Act" will immediately wash away all rational analysis, and the uneasiness of werewolves in various countries will prompt other magic ministries to make up their minds. By imitating it, you are raising the devil with your own hands - werewolves don't have a council of elders that can behead people like Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and...you probably haven't considered becoming a werewolf, right?"

"Ang. You can't blame me for this. It's just business. The British Ministry of Magic has requested cooperation——"

Elena raised her finger and corrected her seriously, her lake-blue eyes flashing with sarcasm.

"The wizarding world has never really classified werewolves as human beings, not even as aliens. It's just that no madman has ever broken this layer of window paper before. But with the crazy actions of Umbridge and others' With great success, those beasts hiding in the dark will show their fangs with confidence and boldness. After all, the werewolves are most dangerous when they are in human form and mingle among the crowd, are you right?"

"Then what?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and looked at Elena with interest.

"Kill the beasts that have eaten people, catch the beasts that want to eat people and put them in big cages, so that people can live like humans again. Isn't this a matter of course? Top-down social changes never have good results. I I won’t make the same mistakes you did, Grandpa.”

"Tsk, but have you ever thought about it, beasts can eat people, and people can also turn into beasts."

"What are you worried about? I am the chef of Hogwarts..."

Elena shrugged nonchalantly, turned over and jumped down from the railing.

"Chefs are never afraid of ingredients. As for wild beasts...didn't you let a wolf go? The rebuilding of the wolf pack order has always been accompanied by the change of the wolf. There must be some blood-stained sacrifices in the new era. And very fortunately, they're always there."

"Fenrir? Okay, what about the new alpha wolf?"

"He's also been--"

Elena casually handed Grindelwald an unsent letter.

At the end of the envelope, where the sender's name is, there is a dark brown R.L. and a drop of dried wolfsbane potion.

…………

At the same time, the Office of the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts.

Remus Lupine rubbed his slightly bloodshot eyes, put down the quill in his hand, and moved his shoulders.

Due to Umbridge's sudden departure, his workload increased suddenly this week. Now there are eight grades in Hogwarts. It is obviously difficult to fill the place with just one professor, not to mention that he still has to find a way. Fill the teaching holes left by Umbridge.

Unlike Severus Snape's dark, oily hair, Lupine's hair was streaked with gray.

Although Lupine, who just turned 32 this year, is still young, wrinkles have crept up on his forehead early, making him look much older than he is.

Compared with his usual haggardness and weakness, Lupine looked particularly pale these days, so much so that Madam Pomfrey secretly asked several times if she would consider changing the brewer of the wolfsbane potion he would take in the future - after all, wolves The inventor of the poison now works at Hogwarts.

On the other hand, Sirius Black also advised him several times that it was best not to drink the potion made by Snape.

However, Lu Ping smiled and rejected all the suggestions from his friends and colleagues.

Because Remus Lupine knew very well that his troubles these days did not come from physical discomfort.

Lupine leaned on the high-backed chair in his office, took out a newspaper from the drawer and read it carefully. This was actually the "Daily Prophet" from a few days ago. Occupying the cover was a particularly conspicuous wanted notice. Order - Below is a line of bold black headings.

"The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic attacked hard and destroyed the lair of the werewolf army, and Fenrir Greyback narrowly escaped"

The professors at Hogwarts were aware of his werewolf status, including the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts School Board.

Dumbledore spent a lot of effort to convince everyone that he could be a qualified professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the appointments of Snape, Slughorn, and especially Damocles were a result of this effort. With the addition of double insurance, the powerful wolfsbane potion will make Lupine as quiet as a baby at every full moon and will not harm any little wizard who is close to him. At the same time, the school elves will also be nearby for protection. .

After several months of teaching, Lu Ping seemed to have returned to the happy school days.

For a while, he even believed that the magical world had become tolerant and friendly, and werewolves were beginning to be gradually accepted in society.

However, the Ministry of Magic's actions in the past few days instantly brought Remus Lupine back to reality.

Just like when he entered Hogwarts, he was just a lucky one protected by Dumbledore. The werewolf's situation in the magical society has never changed fundamentally - in fact, due to annoying Umbridge , their current situation is obviously more miserable than before.

Whether it's the "Werewolf Restriction Act" or this secret arrest, it all foreshadows the darkness of the future.

Lupine began to worry whether this chaos would spread to Hogwarts Castle, and would he one day face a secret arrest like Quirrell?

If he was really kicked out of Hogwarts by the senior deputy minister, where would he go for the rest of his life? In the future magical society, how much room will there be for werewolves like him to survive? What should the werewolves do if the Dark Lord returns?

Especially...

"Fenrir Greyback——"

Lupine looked seriously at the crazy man in the newspaper who kept roaring like a beast.

He had never told his past stories in detail to his friends and colleagues, not even Sirius and James. Because he knew it would only make new enemies among his best friends, and Snape would probably laugh at him if he knew the stories.

But the reality is that the culprit who turned him into a werewolf was Fenrir Greyback.

In 1965, when the dark forces were just beginning to take shape, an attack resulted in the deaths of two Muggle children.

That was also the first and only time Fenrir Greyback was brought to the Ministry of Magic for questioning by Aurors.

Due to the inadequacy and lack of maintenance of the Werewolf Register, the Ministry of Magic was unaware that Fenrir Greyback was a werewolf.

Fenrir Greyback disguised himself as a Muggle tramp, was surprised to see a room full of wizards, and was horrified by the topic of the death of a child. His dirty clothes and lack of a wand led most members of the inquiry to believe that he was a Muggle, but Lyle Lupine, an expert in non-human paranormal phenomena and Remus Lupin's father, came from Graeber. Some telltale signs were found in Gram's appearance.

Therefore, Lyle Lupine suggested to the committee that Greyback should be imprisoned until the full moon one day later.

Unfortunately, the ignorant committee members thought this was unnecessary and began to mock Lyle Lupine. In anger, Lyle Lupine blurted out the words that he regretted his whole life: "Werewolves are ruthless and evil. An evil creature without a soul worthy of living” curse.

Lupine was eventually ordered to leave the room, the Chairman of the Council apologized to Greyback, and the werewolf was released. The wizard who escorted Greyback was supposed to cast an amnesia spell on the "Muggle tramp" to make him forget that he had ever been to the Ministry of Magic, but Greyback and his two werewolf accomplices quickly subdued him and fled. Greyback immediately began to implement a revenge plan to take revenge on the wizard who said that he "deserted death".

Finally, on the eve of the fifth birthday of Lyall Lupin's son, Remus Lupin, Greyback waited for the coveted opportunity.

While Lupine was sleeping in bed, Fenrir Greyback forced open the window and rushed into the bedroom, biting Remus Lupine.

Although his father arrived in the bedroom in time to save him and drove Fenrir Greyback out of his home with a series of powerful curses.

However, Remus Lupine had been bitten, and since then, he has turned into a werewolf——

Whenever night falls, or when he transforms, Lupine seems to vaguely see the huge shadow that once bit him.

Unfortunately, during the Second Wizarding War, he never encountered Fenrir Greyback during the Order of the Phoenix's operations, so he was never able to defeat the shadow of his childhood with his own hands. In a sense, Raiden Mus Lupin was perhaps one of the people who knew Greyback best.

Therefore, he knew exactly what this high-profile failure of the Ministry of Magic meant...

On the other hand, Dumbledore also talked to him alone last night.

Dolores Umbridge will take all the credit and return to Hogwarts to "take refuge" with a high profile. If Fenrir Greyback is really as vengeful as the legend says, then he will definitely appear Around Hogwarts, opportunities for revenge await.

If that happened, as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, he would have to restrain his anger.

Whether it is for Fenrir or Umbridge...
