Chapter 764 Remus Lupine, I Betroth Dolores Umbridge to You
Let the guards deal with the classic car, and after a series of rigorous checks, it took a while before a group of people finally entered the basement of the mansion. Tonks, who came to the Umbrella headquarters for the first time, was a little surprised at the secrecy here system, but her worries about the direction of the next development made her find ways to delve too deeply into these places.
Four eyes brought the group of people into a room on the first floor of the basement that was almost a living room. In the large and bright hall, a circle of blue soft leather sofas was placed in a U shape, and the coffee table was full of snacks. , some fireworks were piled up disorderly on the stall - and there was already a large group of people waiting here. Seeing Alan and the others enter the room, many people immediately stood up and made several sofas look a little uncomfortable. They Carefully looking at the four eyes who pushed the door open.
Luna, who was still a little pale, threw her things on the table and lay down on one of the sofas with her shoes on. Helena obediently materialized herself, put her mother's head on her lap and began to give She massaged her head.
"These are all the people introduced by Mr. Lu Ping who voluntarily participated in the wolfbane experiment. They are all his friends. Today is not the day of the full moon experiment, but they all came to celebrate Mr. Lu Ping." In order to avoid embarrassment, she did not Clearly these are werewolves.
Although taller than these newly entered Hogwarts students, these werewolves inevitably developed inferiority complex, except for Remus Lupine who was lucky enough that none of them went to Hogwarts, the best school in the world. Gwarz, in fact, many people didn't even have a fixed residence before.
"Please feel free, everyone. There is only one identity here—remus' friend." Alan noticed the restraint of the werewolves in the room, and pulled Tonks over. "This is today's heroine— —Miss Nymphadora Tonks."
"Hello, Nymphadora." A werewolf with a relatively cheerful personality greeted him, "You can call me Jacob."
"Oh, please call me Tonks, I hate the name Nymphadora." Tonks reached out his hand, and shook the werewolf who was a little at a loss. Perhaps it was the first time that an ordinary girl was willing to shake hands with him knowing that he was a werewolf. The werewolf shyly put his hands behind his back after putting them down.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone sat down on the sofa and pressed a switch near the door with four eyes. The wall shook like water waves, and the wallpaper disappeared without a trace, revealing the mirror that occupied the entire wall.
"One-way mirror, we can see the view of the opposite room here, but the other party can't see us." With four eyes and mouth corners upturned, he adjusted his glasses and pointed to the retractable ears hanging on the ceiling. "I've ordered quite a few from Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes."
Hermione looked at the opposite room that was decorated like an office, and took a few sneaky glances at Tonks, who was quieter than usual, and then moved closer to Alan and whispered, "This will expose their private affairs to everyone. Isn't it bad? Won't Tonks be upset?"
"Don't worry about Hermione, Tonks likes to be lively, Daisy has confirmed her opinion in advance." Allen patted Hermione on the shoulder, "As for Remus' opinion, it doesn't matter, it's his own opinion." The incident caused by his hypocrisy is also his punishment, I have to go there first and wait for him."
Just after Allen passed by the opposite room and pretended to take out some documents for review, the door of the room opposite the one-way mirror was knocked at this time—even if he knew in advance that the voice here would not Passing to the opposite side, the group of people also consciously started silent mode.
Following Allen's invitation to enter, Remus Lupine entered the room wearing a decent suit. The living room allowed him to make many good friends, and when he really encountered werewolf friends similar to him, he had no sympathy or discrimination—only the melancholy in his eyes occasionally made him seem preoccupied.
People behind the one-way mirror can see their expressions clearly.
"Remus..." The color of Tonks' carefully groomed purple curly hair dimmed in an instant, she shook her head, and the purple curly hair bounced playfully, "I've seen Remus for a while, He looks good, a bit fatter but cute."
Daisy embraced the shoulder of her bodyguard and best friend, and hugged Tonks tightly, trying to give her strength. Daisy looked at Alan in the one-way mirror, hoping that Alan's method would be effective. These two love so much.
Allen waved his hand to let the teapot pour Lupine a cup by himself, and pushed a plate of scones towards each other.
"Thank you, Alan." Lupine raised his teacup and took a sip: "By the way, Sirius has been trying to contact you urgently. He wants to talk to you about Kreacher. When the semester starts, he will be on the platform of King's Cross Station Come on, Sirius has been looking for you for a long time, but unfortunately like those attempts after that, they are all unfortunately missed, when will you be free to meet him? He can't get in here and Hogwarts with the Auror guards , so please let me bring you a message."
"Oh, I'm not sure about that. I'll see him when I'm free. But the deal between me and him about Kreacher is protected by the magic contract, and I have no way to change the devil's contract." Allen said. Picking up his teacup, he took a sip, "Remus, how are you doing recently? Many students at Hogwarts miss you very much."
Allen's words are not polite. Although Severus Snape has real talents and practical learning, his eccentric character can't even be tolerated by Allen himself most of the time, let alone a student.
Even if this year he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, which was of great interest to the students, the consequence of this behavior was that some students would hate to take this course, and after Umbridge and Snape's Destroyed, Lupine's previous goodness was infinitely magnified in his mind, and even had many unwarranted advantages.
Having said that, Lupine's teaching was indeed very solid, and the wizards really learned a lot of knowledge about defense against black magic during his teaching period. When Allen was investigating the students in the class he taught, most of the wizards who had taken the Patronus Charm course taught by Lupin could successfully cast it. Lupine is undoubtedly a good professor.
"I miss them too. The days of teaching at Hogwarts are one of the few good memories in my life." Lupine's eyes turned red again when he remembered his last experience of walking into the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
Allen himself picked up the teapot and refilled his cup with some black tea, "Remus, you seem to be doing well recently, how is your love life? If your students can witness their former professor I was very happy to leave Hogwarts, and they must be very happy for you."
Lupine paused for a moment in picking up the teacup, and the somewhat crazy, enthusiastic and cheerful face of Tonks suddenly appeared in his mind. He shook his head, not only answering Alan's question, but also trying to get rid of the portrait in his mind .
"I am a werewolf, Alan. Although the new wolfbane potion developed now allows people like us to stay sane and spend the time of the full moon more safely, the problem of infection has not been solved, and there are still many hidden dangers." And risks exist. If I fall in love with any ordinary woman, I will be irresponsible to the other party.” Lupine’s voice was full of bitterness, “Besides, you know that I am still a member of the Order of the Phoenix. The Dead Apostles have stirred up countless winds and storms all over the world and caused many troubles. Although our British magic world is calm and safe now, no one can say that the mysterious people who have gathered enough power will make a comeback one day. In such a It is too selfish to consider forming my own small family when there are factors of instability. Maybe I will not think about my personal problems until the power of the mysterious person is destroyed."
Hermione felt sorry for Lupin, and she couldn't help but look at the werewolves introduced by Lupine, now they looked like ordinary people who were worried about their friends. She felt sympathetic in her heart, although the house elves wanted to improve their living environment, but the status of these werewolves wanted to get rid of the current situation, because the contagion made it more difficult in a sense.
For these werewolves brought by Lupine, they have more empathy—they are facing the same situation as Lupine, all because of their status as werewolves, they are emotionally desperate, and have experienced several times of incarnation as werewolves. They are convinced that they cannot take the risk of getting married, and they cannot imagine that a child who accidentally passed on chamaejasma to the next generation will ruin them, or hurt the person they love most when they are out of control one day. It's enough to make people heartbroken-this directly led to the existence of men and women who love each other even in this group of werewolves, but the self-exile and pessimistic thoughts in their bones made them just maintain a pure friendship with each other.
Noticing that Emily jumped off the sofa, took off her fanny pack, and started giving the group of werewolves the candies she put in her fanny pack, Hermione's eyes flashed, and the figure standing behind these werewolves was quite tall. Her attention was drawn to a burly seven-foot man, his hair combed into strands of Viking-style blonde braids, his muscular body clad in ill-fitting shorts and a T-shirt, but even in human Even with flip flops, he also looked brave and amazing. He was looking at the situation in the one-way mirror with a weird smile.
Hermione frowned suspiciously. Even though the other party showed a smiling face, she couldn't feel any emotional fluctuations in his eyes. Hermione looked at the strong man carefully. He was too quiet, he didn't breathe, and there was no emotion in his chest. Undulating, and the breath exuding from his body is a bit like the feeling behind the black curtain of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.
Hermione rolled her eyes, raised her chin in the direction of the strong man, and asked, "Isn't that a living person? Why are they here?"
"Miss Granger, what you're talking about is Lynch." Glancing around, he explained in a low voice, "He's the trained death knight, um, the batch that the young master brought back from ancient times. Although the undead creatures have already He no longer has the feelings of living people, but out of the habit before him, he often went to the basement to talk and play with these werewolves. You know that undead creatures will no longer be troubled by infection and disease, and it’s not that werewolves hate them. vampires, so finally accepted it."
Hearing their conversation, Emily ate the candy and the ice mouse came over and followed Hermione's gaze and looked at the Viking: "His braids are pretty nice... creaking... I don't know if it's on the girl's head Whether it is suitable or not."
Helena was playing with the butterbeer bottle cap necklace on her mother's neck that was pillowed on her lap, but she was looking more at her father, imitating Alan's movement of pouring tea.
"This is also the meaning of the existence of our laboratory. Sooner or later, we will be able to develop a drug that can cure the infection," Allen said with relief. "It has solved the point that ordinary people fear most. Werewolves will encounter many problems. It's not a problem anymore."
"I have seen the efforts that Umbrella Corporation has made for us werewolves. We are very grateful. This has changed our lives, our lives, and allowed us to have a legitimate job...or for our future jobs." Lu Ping's face turned serious, "Then let's talk about business, Alan, you called me here today, but is there anything that needs my participation? As long as it is not something that violates conscience and does not involve the Order of the Phoenix, I am willing to do anything for you." you do."
"I have a way to improve the reputation of werewolves among wizards to a certain extent." Allen put down the cup, fisted his hands on his knees, and leaned forward.
Lupine also put down the cup in his hand, sat upright and listened intently.
Allen deliberately raised the volume: "Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it is more representative and definitely has the meaning of anti-discrimination against werewolves! If you can make this plan successful, I believe that the image of werewolves in the eyes of wizards will definitely improve. You personally make certain sacrifices..."
"Alan, you don't have to worry about me." Lupine knew how outstanding Alan's planning ability is. "As long as you can do it, it's fine for you to take my life away."
Although the people behind the one-way mirror didn't know why what was supposed to be a match between Tonks and Lupine turned into a matter of improving the image of werewolves in the eyes of wizards, they were all aroused curiosity. It is still a Muggle, and the impression of werewolves is deeply ingrained. Allen actually has a way to improve and reverse people's ideas. It is hard for them to imagine what kind of wonderful means they will use.
"Daisy, is Alan playing some prank on Lupine? Did he tell you his plan?" Tonks smiled at Daisy, making himself look cheerful as usual, but unconsciously on the sofa The swaying body and changing hair color made Daisy aware of the uneasiness in the other party's heart.
Daisy touched her chin suspiciously: "Alan didn't mention it, but don't worry, if my brother wants to achieve something, he can always help him achieve it."
Those werewolves unconsciously imitated Alan's appearance and leaned forward, and even stood up impatiently, wishing to rush over and urge Alan to come up with a solution, and as long as it worked, many of them were willing to replace Lu, who was liked by a good girl. Ping to make sacrifices.
"Mother, when are we going to leave, what's so interesting about it?" Helena moved Luna's head on her lap, changed her sitting position, and then found that a small camera had appeared in Luna's hand superior.
Luna, who was still in pain, had her eyes half down, her mouth tightly closed, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to control her spit out again, but at this moment, she pointed at Emily with two fingers and refused to let go.
Helena called out, "Auntie, mother called you over."
Emily stood up from her sofa and sat down reluctantly. Luna's thumb and index finger made a C shape and pointed to the side.
Hermione tilted her head in confusion, "Luna, do you want to drink water?"
Luna shook her head, pursed her lips even tighter, and continued to make C-shaped gestures in two directions towards the long table and the one-way mirror, her index finger still twitching.
"What do you want me to do here? Do you want candy?" Emily asked, looking at the purse that she had just thrown on the sofa after distributing the candies. She didn't understand why Luna would call her over, One must know that the relationship between her and Luna is neither too good nor too good—Emily has been reluctant to get too close to each other ever since she knew Luna's ability to see through people's hearts.
Daisy, Tonks and others temporarily put down the situation behind the one-way mirror and came forward to speculate, but they were all wrong. Luna closed her eyes and shook her head. Repeated back and forth on Emily.
In the end, it was Helena who understood what her mother meant, and she unconsciously spit out the ancient Scottish dialect: "Mother, what other people say is irrelevant, only I know what you mean! Do you want aunt to help you?" Did you take the picture? You think that Miss Granger is too serious, and you are afraid that she will not take the picture well if she doesn't want to, and you are worried that I will lose my mind and lose the best time when I take the picture, so I want to Let the clever aunt come?"
It wasn't until Emily jumped off the sofa again, took out the camera that Luna had just dropped on the long table from her bag, and walked to the one-way mirror, that Luna nodded slightly, dropped her hand immediately, and let out a long cry In one breath, he let himself lie back on his daughter's lap again.
"This reminds me of a neighbor I used to have. He was a miserly but rich Viking. When he was dying after eating unclean food and getting sick, he kept sticking out two fingers while everyone was watching him. He refused to die, and finally his wife realized it and put out one of the two torches inserted on a pillar before dying." The Viking strong man also surrounded him just now, but when the truth came out, he simply sat down On the ground, "I just turned around and looked for it, thinking that there is no waste of torches here..."
Facing this farce and the overly serious evaluation of herself, Hermione turned her attention back to Alan and Lupine behind the one-way mirror a little speechlessly.
"So I asked you about your love life just now, and I have to confirm with you again, you don't have anyone you like, right? This task is difficult, and it can only be done without the burden of family." Allen looked at Lupin with raised eyebrows, no I missed the hesitation that flashed in his eyes, "Of course I hope you can agree, after all, Professor Lupine, you are a member of the Order of the Phoenix, you are alone, you have been a professor at Hogwarts, you have a certain social status, and you have a certain social status among werewolves. You are more famous, so you are the most suitable object to perform this task, and the effect will be much worse if other people perform it. If you can complete this difficult task, I believe that wizards can change the path of discrimination and prejudice against werewolves. It will be much smoother."
Lupine lowered his head, and Tonks' playful and smug expression when he was constantly changing hair and face shapes in front of him, naughty tongue sticking out, and the cute way she often stumbled over her big leather boots and almost tripped over things, said to him The firmness and persistence when he likes himself... After hesitating for a while, after taking three deep breaths, Lupine suddenly raised his head. He nodded his head fiercely, and said in a calm and firm voice, "I am willing to complete this task, for the sake of the werewolf."
"Okay, that's great." Allen stood up and clapped his hands, and exaggeratedly held Lupine's hand with both hands, "Since you have no one you like, you are willing to make sacrifices for the werewolves. Then, Lai Muse Lupine, I betroth Dolores Umbridge to you."
