Chapter 264 Werewolf - Remus John Lupin
The transformation is still going on.
After a few more breaths, Professor Lupin completed his transformation, an unreserved transformation. Without the suppression of the wolf poison potion, Lupin's transformation was more pure, both physically and mentally. It was not without reason that Professor Snape taught the course of werewolves in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
According to the legends in Muggle mythology, in ancient Europe, a plague broke out on the continent and people died one after another. A young man named Corvinus in the village saw this tragic situation. In order to survive and get rid of the plague, he studied the origin of life and got enlightenment. Later, he was the only one who survived. There are a total of 100 descendants of Corvinus. Unfortunately, one of them was bitten by a bat infected with the virus, and the other was bitten by a wolf infected with the virus. Only one survived as a complete human. His two brothers mutated due to the virus. One became the ancestor of vampires and the other became the ancestor of werewolves.
Of course, this is just the record of Muggles. Regarding the ancestors of werewolves, the magic world has actually conducted a lot of research on this matter, but because werewolves have lost their rationality and rely only on instinct, this has led to the loss of inheritance.
This is also the reason why the powerful werewolves eventually declined. They did not have a rigorous inheritance like vampires. At least vampires still know that their ancestor is Cain, but the ancestors of werewolves have become quite controversial. The most famous one is the werewolf Mutu, who is rumored to be the first werewolf, and the magic wolf Fenrir. The werewolf family in Siberia believes that their blood comes from the magic wolf Fenrir.
However, compared with the monsters in mythology, the existence of werewolves is obviously much weaker. They can only transform when the moon is full, and they have completely lost the ability of magic. Whether in terms of form or ability, they are far from the legendary immortal magic wolf, which is a dark monster that even gods fear.
However, Professor Lupin at the moment obviously could not have reached the terrifying level in the legend, otherwise the werewolf would not be so embarrassed, and even the werewolf transformed by Professor Lupin was far less threatening than the giant beast in Fanlin's mind.
However, it was also fatal to them now. Fanlin had not recovered much magic power, and Sirius's injury was not healed, and there was also a dizzy Professor Snape...
Finally, Professor Lupin's body stopped expanding, and he became as tall as Hagrid, but it seemed that due to instinctive limitations, Professor Lupin's body could not stand upright like a human.
He was more like an upright big dog, and did not have a strong physique like the legendary werewolf. Of course, this was relatively speaking, after all, the prototype of Professor Lupin was a relatively thin one.
Everyone was shocked by Professor Lupin's sudden transformation. Except for Sirius and Fanlin who asked everyone to run away at the beginning, there were no other actions.
Everyone looked at Lupin, as if they were frightened by the werewolf in front of them. Even Peter forgot to run away. The handcuffs originally handcuffed on Professor Lupin's arms had been broken by his swollen body.
"Wait... wait a minute..." Hermione said, and she took two steps towards Professor Lupin.
"Don't... Hermione..." Fanlin said, but the girl signaled Fanlin not to be nervous.
"Maybe the wolfsbane potion still has some effect, some subconscious effect. After all, Professor Lupin has been drinking this potion... You see, he didn't attack us."
As Hermione said this, the girl seemed to give confidence to everyone and herself at the same time. She took two steps forward, and she was not far away from the werewolf in the middle.
Professor Lupin lowered his head, and a dog-like whimpering sound came out of his mouth, which was very inconsistent with his body, but this did not bring any sense of security to Fanlin. The werewolf without the wolfsbane potion was no different from a beast.
Lupin was not a werewolf who could control his transformation. Even for a higher level werewolf, it was unknown how much sanity he could retain under the full moon.
However, Hermione still did not give up her idea. The girl seemed to want to touch Professor Lupin's head with her hand. She stretched out her hand and approached carefully, repeating Professor Lupin's name.
"Professor... Professor Lupin... Do you still remember us, your students, and your friends... This is Hogwarts..."
However, before Hermione finished her words, the sudden roar frightened Hermione's little face pale.
Lupin finally failed to suppress his werewolf instinct. He originally seemed harmless, but he showed his fangs before Hermione approached him immediately.
"Get out of the way, Hermione..." Vanlin ran forward two steps quickly and pulled Hermione back. However, Lupin the werewolf did not let go of the prey that was delivered to his mouth. He roared, and his sharp fangs were covered with mucus, just like Fang Ya drooling. However, if Fang Ya was here, he would definitely be scared to death by Lupin the werewolf.
Just when Vanlin and Hermione were about to close their eyes, a dog barking sound came from behind the werewolf.
That was Sirius's Animagus. In his heyday, the black dog that Sirius transformed into was as big as a black bear, but now he is not much different from those domestic black dogs.
However, this did not affect Sirius' courage to fight Lupin the werewolf.
Amidst the barking of the dog, Sirius' figure disappeared from Harry's side in an instant, and his not-so-strong body drew an arc in the night.
Sirius's movements were so fast that Harry had no time to react before Sirius had already pounced on him. Of course, Harry's reaction was far inferior to that of Professor Lupin who turned into a werewolf.
At the moment when Sirius was about to attack, the arm that was originally going to attack Hermione moved to protect his chest with the rotation of his body. Sirius immediately pounced on Lupine, and bit him hard with his mouth. With Lupine's protective arm in front of him, it was like training a military dog in the Muggle world, but this was not the kind of exercise with protective gear.
Scarlet blood dripped on the lawn in front of Hogwarts Castle, and at the same time, Professor Lupin's painful howl sounded along with the dripping blood.
The pain greatly stimulated Professor Lupine's chaotic nerves. In the eyes of the werewolf, Sirius was a black dog raised by humans. However, this damn black dog bit him. This was obviously right. One of his provocations.
Of course, the werewolf Lupine gave up on the little human girl. In his mind, he just wanted to tear the damn black dog into pieces, and eating it was also a good choice.
The werewolf Lupine roared angrily, and swung his other arm towards Sirius's thin body without any hesitation.
"Get out of the way, Sirius..." Harry shouted anxiously, but his voice was perfectly suppressed by Professor Lupin's roar.
Sirius' bite was so deep that he didn't even have time to let go.
Along with the whimpering sound of the black dog, Sirius's body was thrown heavily, and his figure looked so thin. It was obvious that the werewolf transformed by Professor Luping had brought a heavy blow to Sirius. Fan Lin saw that Sirius was even a little unsteady on the ground.
"Come back, Sirius!" Harry shouted loudly, not as if he had just gained and then lost his godfather.
However, Sirius ignored Harry's shouting. He had to stand up. He could not let these children face a ferocious werewolf. His pride did not allow him to hide behind a few children.
The werewolf completely broke free of the handcuffs that restrained it. The dog grabbed the werewolf's neck and pulled it back, keeping it away from Fanlin and Hermione.
The battle continued, and Sirius and Professor Lupine were completely locked together. It seemed that Professor Lupine had not fully adapted to his changes, so Sirius's situation was relatively better.
However, this situation did not last long. Professor Lupine adapted quickly to the werewolf form. He took the top position after only two bites. He left Sirius aside and let out an angry cry. The roar was like declaring victory.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the battle between the two, they fought so fiercely.
Because the handcuffs completely collapsed, Peter Pettigrew completely lost Lupine's restraint on him.
As if he was extremely frightened, he crawled to the ground tremblingly.
Fan Lin's eyes kept wandering between several people, Lupine, Sirius, and Professor Snape.
The only way to get out of the predicament now is for Professor Snape to wake up, but Harry's coma spell has not been retained at all. Fan Lin can only cast some elementary spells now, and lifting the coma spell is obviously not something he can do now. of.
When Fanlin turned his attention to Peter Pettigrew, he was startled. Peter Pettigrew, who was originally lying on the ground, climbed up to Professor Lupin's wand at some point, and grabbed Lupin's wand with one of his hands. The magic wand is standing up tremblingly.
"Ah..." Hermione let out a piercing scream, and the girl obviously saw this.
"Epelliarmus (Expelliarmus)!"
Fan Lin stretched out his hand, and without hesitation he used the little magic power he had just condensed. It would be too bad for Peter Pettigrew to get the wand.
But that's all Fanlin can do.
By the time Harry discovered it, it was already too late. Peter Pettigrew's figure quickly became smaller. He was a beast shifter. Animagus in mouse form was obviously not easy to detect.
In the blink of an eye, the figure of Peter Pettigrew completely disappeared in front of everyone. (To be continued)
