Chapter 764 Remus Lupin, I Betroth Dolores Umbridge to You

( ) Let the guards handle the classic car, and after a series of rigorous checks, it took a while, and the group finally entered the basement of the mansion. Tonks, who came to the Umbrella headquarters for the first time, was a little surprised. confidentiality system, but her worries about the direction of the next development made her unable to delve too deeply into these areas.

Four eyes led the group of people into a place that was almost like a living room on the first floor of the basement. In the large and bright hall, there was a circle of blue soft leather sofas arranged in a U shape, and the coffee table was filled with snacks. , there were some fireworks piled up in disorder on the stall - and there was already a large group of people waiting here. When they saw Allen and the others entering the room, many people immediately stood up and gave way to several sofas, looking a little uncomfortable. He carefully looked at the four eyes who opened the door.

Luna, who was still a little pale, threw the things on the table and lay down on one of the sofas with her shoes on. Helena obediently allowed herself to materialize and put her mother's head on her lap and began to give her. She massaged her head.

"These are all the people introduced by Mr. Lupine who volunteered to join the Wolfsbane Potion experiment. They are all his friends. Today is not the full moon test day, but they all came here to celebrate Mr. Luping." In order to avoid embarrassment, she did not Clearly these are werewolves.

Although they are taller than the students who have just entered Hogwarts, these werewolves inevitably have inferiority complex. Except for Remus Lupin, none of them has been to the best school in the world. Gewoz, in fact, many people did not even have a fixed residence before.

"Everyone, please feel free. Everyone here has only one identity - Remus's friend." Allen 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 proactively, "You can call me Jacob."

"Oh, please call me Tonks. I hate the name Nymphadora." Tonks reached out her hand and shook the werewolf's hand gently. Perhaps for the first time, an ordinary girl was willing to shake hands knowing that he was a werewolf. After putting down his hand, the werewolf shyly put his hands behind his back.

After a brief chat, everyone sat down on the sofa and pressed a switch near the door. The wall shook like water waves, and the wallpaper disappeared, revealing a mirror that occupied the entire wall.

"One-way mirror, we can see the scene in the opposite room, but the other party can't see us." The corners of Siyan's mouth turned up, he adjusted his glasses and pointed to the retractable ears hanging on the ceiling. "I ordered quite a few from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes."

Hermione looked at the room opposite that was decorated like an office, and took a few furtive glances at Tonks who was looking extra quiet than usual. Then she moved closer to Alan and whispered: "This will expose their private affairs to everyone." Isn't it bad? Won't Tonks be unhappy?"

"Don't worry Hermione, Tonks likes to have fun, and Daisy has confirmed her opinion beforehand." Allen patted Hermione on the shoulder, "As for Remus's opinion, it doesn't matter. This is his decision." Whatever happened due to his pretentiousness can be regarded as his punishment, so I have to go over and wait for him."

Just as Allen went to the room opposite and pretended to take out some documents and pretended to review them, there was a knock on the door of the room opposite the one-way mirror - even if he knew in advance that the sound from this side would not be heard. When it reached the other side, the group of people immediately consciously started the silent mode.

Following Allen's invitation, Remus Lupine entered the room wearing a decent suit. His complexion has actually improved very well in the past few years, but especially this year, because Lupine is experimenting in this room. The room allowed him to make many good friends, and when he really met werewolf friends who were similar to him, he had no sympathy or discrimination - only the occasional melancholy in his eyes made him seem worried.

The person behind the one-way mirror can see their expressions clearly.

"Remus..." The color of Tonks' carefully decorated purple curly hair dimmed instantly. She shook her head, and her purple curly hair bounced playfully, "I have seen Remus for a while. He looks good, a little fatter but very cute."

Daisy put her arms around the shoulders of her protector and close friend, and hugged Tonks tightly, trying to give her strength. Daisy looked at Alan on the other side of the one-way mirror, hoping that Alan's method would be effective. These two people love each other so much.

Allen waved his hand to let the teapot pour a cup for Lupine, and then pushed a plate of scones towards him.

"Thank you, Alan." Lupine raised his tea cup and took a sip: "By the way, Sirius has been eagerly trying to contact you. He wants to talk to you about Kreacher. At the beginning of this semester, on the platform of King's Cross Station Go up, Sirius has been looking for you for a long time, but just like all the attempts after that, he unfortunately missed it. When can you go see him when you are free? He can't get in here with the Auror-protected Hogwarts. , so please ask me to bring you a message."

"Oh, I don't know about that. I'll go see him when I'm free. But the deal about Kreacher between me and him was protected by a magical contract, and I can't change the devil's contract." Allen said He took a sip from the teacup and said, "Remus, how have you been lately? Many students at Hogwarts miss you very much."

Allen's words were not polite. Although Severus Snape had real talents and learning, his eccentric character was even unbearable to Allen himself most of the time, let alone his students.

Even though he was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts this year, which was of great interest to the students, the consequence of this behavior was that some students hated and hated taking this course. After Umbridge and Snape's training, Devastated, the good things Lu Ping had before were infinitely magnified in his mind, and even had many unfounded advantages.

At that time, having said that, Lupine's teaching was indeed very solid, and the wizards really learned a lot of knowledge about defense against dark magic during his teaching period. When Allen was investigating the students in his own class, most of the wizards who had taken Lupin's Patronus Charm course could successfully cast it. Lupine was 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 when he thought of his last experience as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Allen 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? What if your students could witness their former professor?" You have lived a very happy life after leaving Hogwarts, I think they will be very happy for you."

Lupine paused for a moment in picking up the tea cup. 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 wanting to get rid of the figure in his mind. .

"I am a werewolf, Allen. Although the new wolfsbane potion developed now allows people like us to stay sane and spend the full moon period more safely, the infection problem has not been solved, and there are still many hidden dangers. And there are risks. If I fall in love or get married with any ordinary woman, I will be irresponsible to the other party." Lu Ping's voice was full of bitterness, "What's more, you know that I am still a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and now the mysterious people and cannibals The Dead Apostles have stirred up countless storms and caused a lot of troubles around the world. Although our British magical world is now peaceful and very safe, no one can say that one day the mysterious man who has gathered enough power will come back. In this situation It would be too selfish to consider starting a family of my own when instability exists. Maybe I won't be able to consider my own personal issues until the mysterious man's power is destroyed."

Hermione felt sorry for Lupine. 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 sympathized with the house elves. Although the house elves wanted to improve their living environment, it was more difficult for these werewolves to get rid of their current situation because of their contagiousness.

For these werewolves brought by Lupine, they have more empathy - they are facing the same situation as Lupine, they are all in emotional despair because of their werewolf status, and have experienced being transformed into werewolves several times. They firmly believe that they cannot risk getting married. They cannot imagine that their children will be ruined by accidentally passing wolfsbane to the next generation, or that they will hurt the person they love most when they cannot control it one day. Just imagining this picture makes them It's heartbreaking enough - this directly leads to the fact that even among this group of werewolves, there are men and women who have feelings for each other, but the self-exile and pessimistic thoughts in their bones make them just maintain a pure friendship with each other.

Noticing that Emily jumped off the sofa, took off her belt bag, and took the initiative to give the candies she put in the bag to the werewolves, Hermione's eyes flashed, and there was a figure standing behind these werewolves. The seven-foot strong man attracted her attention. His hair was combed into strands of golden viking-style braids. His muscular body was wearing an inappropriate pair of shorts and a T-shirt, but even if he was just wearing human Even with his flip-flops on, he looked amazingly brave, and he was looking at the situation on the other side of the one-way mirror with a strange smile.

Hermione frowned in confusion. Even though the other person smiled, she couldn't feel any emotion in his eyes. Hermione looked at the strong man carefully. He was too quiet. He wasn't breathing, and there was nothing in his chest. Ups and downs, and the aura exuding from the whole body is a bit like the feeling behind the black curtain in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione twitched her eyes, raised her chin in the direction of the strong man, and asked, "Isn't that a living person? Why is it here?"

"Miss Granger, you are talking about Lynch." He glanced at him and explained in a low voice, "He is the death knight who is undergoing training. Well, he is the batch that the young master brought back from ancient times. Although the undead creatures have already He no longer has the emotions of a living person, but out of his previous habits, he still often goes to the underground floor to talk and play with these werewolves. You know that undead creatures will no longer have problems with infections and diseases, and besides, werewolves are not annoying. vampire, so I finally accepted it."

Hearing their conversation, Emily ate the candy ice mouse and came over, followed Hermione's line of sight and looked at the Viking: "His braids are very nice... creak, creak, creak... I don't know if he got it on the girl's head. Whether it’s suitable or not.”

Helena played with the butterbeer bottle cap necklace that was resting on her lap and around her mother's neck. She looked more at her father and imitated Allen's movements of pouring tea with her hands.

"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. "After solving the most fearful thing for ordinary people, there will be many problems that werewolves will encounter. It’s not a problem anymore.”

"I have seen the efforts that Umbrella Company 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 own future work." Lu Ping straightened up and said, "Then let's talk about business. Allen, you asked me to come here today, but is there anything that requires my participation? As long as it's not something that goes against my conscience and doesn't involve the Order of the Phoenix, I'm willing to do anything. you do."

"I have a way to improve the werewolf's reputation among wizards to a certain extent." Allen put down the cup, put his hands into fists on his knees, and leaned forward.

Lu Ping also put down the cup in his hand and sat upright to listen attentively.

Allen deliberately raised his voice: "Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it is more representative and definitely has the significance of anti-discrimination against werewolves! If you can make this plan succeed, I believe that the image of werewolves in the eyes of wizards will definitely improve, but for You will make certain sacrifices personally..."

"Alan, you don't have to worry about me." Lupine knew how outstanding Alan's planning ability was. "As long as you can do it, you can take my life away from me."

Although the people behind the one-way mirror didn't know why what was supposed to be a matter of bringing Tonks and Lupin together turned into a matter of improving the image of werewolves in the eyes of wizards, their curiosity was also raised. For a long time, whether it was wizards Even as a Muggle, the impression of werewolves is deeply ingrained. Allen actually has a way to improve and change people's ideas. They really can't imagine what kind of wonderful means he will use.

"Daisy, is Alan playing some prank on Lupin? Has he told you his plan?" Tonks forced a smile on Daisy to make herself look as cheerful as usual, but she was unconscious on the sofa. Daisy's shaking body and changing hair color made her aware of the other person's inner uneasiness.

Daisy touched her chin suspiciously: "Alan didn't mention it, but don't worry, if my brother wants to accomplish something, he will always have the means to help him achieve it."

Those werewolves unconsciously followed Allen's example and leaned forward, and even stood up impatiently, eager to rush over and urge Allen to tell him the method quickly. And as long as it works, many of them are willing to replace Lu, who is liked by good girls. Ping Lai makes sacrifices.

"Mother, when are we leaving? What's so good about this?" Helena moved Luna's head on her lap, changed her sitting position, and then discovered that a small camera had appeared in Luna's hand. superior.

Luna, who was still feeling uncomfortable, had half-closed her eyes before, and her mouth was closed tightly, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to control it and spit it out again, but at this time, she pointed two fingers at Emily and refused to put it down.

Helena called out: "Aunt, mother asked you to come over."

Emily stood up from her sofa and sat down reluctantly. Luna's thumb and index finger formed a shape and pointed to the side.

Hermione tilted her head in confusion, "Luna, do you want a drink of water?"

Luna shook her head, pursed her lips tighter, and continued to make gestures in two directions toward the long table and one-way mirror on one side, her index finger still twitching.

"What do you want me to come over for? Do you want to eat candy(and)?" Emily asked, looking at the bag that was thrown on her sofa after just distributing the candy. She didn't understand why Luna asked her to come over. You must know that her relationship with Luna is not a good one - Emily has been reluctant to get too close to each other since she learned about Luna's ability to see through people's hearts.

Daisy, Tonks and others temporarily put down the one-way mirror and came forward to guess what was happening behind the one-way mirror, but none of them got it right. Luna closed her eyes and shook her head, her hand just waving the shape of the one-way mirror on the long table and Ai Repeatedly on Millie.

In the end, Helena understood what her mother meant. She even spoke the ancient Scottish dialect unconsciously: "Mom, what others said is irrelevant. I am the only one who knows what you mean! Do you want your aunt to help you?" Did you take the photo? You think Miss Granger is too serious, and you are afraid that she will not take the photo well if she doesn't want to, and you are also worried that I will be distracted and incorporeal during the shooting, causing the camera to fall to the ground and miss the best opportunity, so you want to Let my clever aunt do it?"

It wasn't until Emily jumped off the sofa again, took out the camera that Luna had just thrown away from the bag on the long table, and walked to the one-way mirror that Luna nodded slightly, immediately lowered her hands, and let out a long breath. In one breath, he lay back on his daughter's lap.

"This reminds me of a former neighbor of mine. He was a stingy but wealthy Viking. He got sick from eating unclean food and when he was dying, he kept holding out two fingers when everyone was watching over him. He refused to die, and finally his wife came to his senses and extinguished one of the two torches stuck on a pillar before she died." The strong Viking man Gang also gathered around, but after 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..."

Faced with this farce and the too serious evaluation of herself, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net made Hermione speechless and turned her attention back to Allen and Lupine behind the one-way mirror.

"So I just asked about your love life, and I have to confirm to you again that you don't have anyone you like, right? This is an arduous task, and it must be done without family drag." Allen raised his eyebrows and looked at Lupin, no Missing the hesitation flashing in his eyes, "Of course I hope you can agree. After all, Professor Lupin, you are a member of the Order of the Phoenix, alone. You have been a professor at Hogwarts and have a certain social status. You are also a werewolf." You are relatively famous, so you are the most suitable person to perform this task, but the effect will be much worse if others 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 said to him with her playful and proud look as she kept changing her hair and face shape in front of him, her naughty tongue sticking out, and her cute way of walking in a daze while almost tripping over something in her big leather boots. The firmness and persistence when he likes himself... After hesitating for a long time, Lupine suddenly raised his head after taking three deep breaths. He nodded his head sharply, and said in a calm and determined voice: "I am willing to complete this task, for the werewolf."

"Okay, great." Allen stood up, clapped his hands, and held Lupine's hand with both hands in an exaggerated way, "Since you don't have anyone you like, and you are willing to make sacrifices for the werewolves, then, Len Mus Lupin, I betroth Dolores Umbridge to you."
