Chapter 295 Werewolf and Wolfsbane Potion

Speaking of wolfsbane potion, we have to mention the group of people who use this potion - werewolves.

Werewolves are humans who are able to assume the form of a wolf when the full moon rises, a condition caused by an infection called lycanthropy. Werewolves can spread this horrific disease by biting other humans.

During a full moon, the werewolf cannot control himself, he will automatically transform and lose his mind for the duration of the transformation.

After transforming, they will forget their identity and even kill those closest to them. The most cruel thing is that although they had no reason or emotions at the time, when the transformation was over, they could still recall everything they had experienced during the entire transformation process.

If they hurt the people closest to them while transforming, I am afraid that this feeling of guilt will be a lingering shadow throughout their lives. According to some tragic legends, many victims of werewolves would rather die than become the next werewolf.

This is a terrible, tragic magical disease, and werewolves are also patients suffering from this disease. They should be helped and treated with sympathy.

However, wolf disease cannot be cured, and they cannot stay awake and rational while transforming. There are very few werewolves who can suppress their inner desire for blood. Werewolves who have lost their minds have caused many tragedies.

Werewolves, who are uncontrolled and completely dominated by their inner desire for blood, are abandoned by normal humans. Wizards are generally full of disgust and fear of werewolves. They cannot be accepted and cannot get jobs. The prejudice, shame, and abuse will be with them for the rest of their lives from the time they develop this disease.

The Ministry of Magic established the Werewolf Capture Program and the Werewolf Registry in an attempt to control werewolves and reduce their harm. The original intention may be good, but in execution everything goes sour.

The Ministry of Magic, under the ulterior motives of some people, even introduced an anti-werewolf bill. The author of this bill is Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic.

It was under this kind of rejection and oppression from top to bottom that some werewolves began to hate wizards. Werewolves have become more bloodthirsty and brutal, and the Ministry of Magic's crackdowns have become more and more intense. The gap between werewolves and normal society is getting wider and wider.

It is precisely because of this gap that some werewolves have an opportunity to take advantage of them. They established their own community, absorbing more similar people who are not accepted by normal people, and at the same time committed to infecting more people and expanding their community.

And hope that one day, they can defeat the wizard with a large number of werewolves and build a kingdom full of blood.

The most famous werewolf community in the British wizarding world was founded by Fenrir Greyback. He and his men took pleasure in blood and were cruel and murderous. Even while maintaining their human form, they still acted wantonly and caused countless tragedies.

The discrimination of wizards and the reckless behavior of similar people have plunged those werewolves who still have kindness in their hearts into boundless darkness. There was no light in their lives until the appearance of Wolfsbane Potion.

This potion was invented in recent years. Although wolfsbane potion cannot cure werewolves, it gives these poor people a glimmer of hope. Wolfsbane potion can help werewolves stay sane and suppress their inner impulses during their transformation.

Hope appeared, but the high price of wolfsbane potion kept the werewolves away. Due to the exclusion of wizards, werewolves were unable to obtain jobs. They had no food to eat, no warmth to wear, and simply could not afford the price of potions.

Most of the werewolves scorned this potion. They were used to killing and blood, they enjoyed this kind of life, and they would not pay even a copper nut for the wolfsbane potion.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Ada does not understand why Snape asked him to prepare the Wolfsbane potion.

All the time, the potion content that Ada secretly produced while undergoing confinement came from the market orders that Snape received. On the one hand, it meets Ada's current potion level, and on the other hand, it can also bring her some income.

This was the Potions Master's personal concern for Ada, and she always kept it in mind.

However, there are very few werewolves who want to buy wolfsbane potion, and the number of people who can recruit Severus Snape is infinitely close to zero.

The high price of Wolfsbane Potion is not only because it is the only potion that can help werewolves, but also because of the precious raw materials in its ingredient list. This is the reason why the price of Wolfsbane potion remains high. Many potion scholars are committed to improving the potion, but they have never been able to do it.

Suddenly asked to prepare this kind of magic potion, Ada was naturally a little confused and didn't know the reason. She didn't know what kind of potion Snape was selling in the gourd.

Faced with Ada's doubts, Snape didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He repeated: "The formula is on the table and the ingredients are in the cabinet. This is your task today."

Do you think Snape is willing to prepare the Wolfsbane potion? If it weren't for that bad old man's request, Snape wouldn't be willing to do such a thankless thing! What's more, this kind of magic potion is still provided to someone he doesn't like.

Snape was the potions professor at Hogwarts, not Dumbledore's personal potions assistant. First he helped take care of the children, then he prepared potions for Grover Cecil, and now it's the turn of the annoying one. Moon face.

Snape strongly demanded more money, otherwise the job would be impossible!

Ada had no way of knowing what the Potions Master was thinking. If he was willing to tell her, Ada would definitely be familiar with the name Moon Face. Because Ada and the twins have the Marauder's Map in their hands, one of the four producers of this map is Moon Face.

Moreover, knowing that this wolfsbane potion is for use by people within the school, Ada can easily find the answer to her biggest doubt this school year by following the clues.

Unfortunately, Snape, the King of Spies, was very tight-lipped and did not reveal any information.

In fact, Snape had already prepared the Wolfsbane potion. It was just because of the awkwardness yesterday. The sinister moon-faced man was not worthy of drinking the potion he made, so Snape asked Ada to prepare a new potion.

Revenge, very childish revenge, but there is no way, Snape still has to take the overall situation into consideration, and letting the werewolf walk in the school in the moonlight is not a good thing.

The underground classroom was very quiet, with only the crackling of the flames and the gurgling of the medicine in the crucible.

Ada tied her hair back and tied it tightly to prevent her hair from falling into the crucible. But in this way, all her expressions fell into Snape's eyes, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth reminded Snape of the shame brought by the new skin.

After completing today's process, Ada left the underground classroom, and the Gryffindor score went with her. Snape once again deducted Ada's points without any bottom line. The reason? Who are you looking down on? Since when did the Potions Professor need a reason to deduct points?

When Ada returned to the common room, the twins had not yet rested. They were sitting by the fire carefully picking out the thorns from the thorns. Ada came over and joined in the nitpicking.

She asked: "Do you think there are really werewolves in the school's forbidden forest?"

The school has always circulated the legend that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Although no one has ever seen a werewolf, many students are still afraid of the dark Forbidden Forest.

"Werewolves?" Fred guessed, "There probably aren't any, I'm not sure." After going in and out of the Forbidden Forest so many times, the twins had never seen a werewolf, but they had seen a few beautiful wolf cubs.

"What's wrong? Why do you ask this question so suddenly?" George asked with concern, why is Ada suddenly interested in werewolves? Did Snape say something at night?

Ada shook her head and did not tell anyone about the Wolfsbane potion. She did not want to cause trouble to everyone. She said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of it. There have been rumors about werewolves in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, but no one has ever seen it. It's almost like a secret room."

"Hey, what a big deal!" Fred said disapprovingly, "Why don't we take the time to go there another day!"
