Chapter 206 Remus Lupin

After returning to the office, the more Dracula thought about it, the more he felt that Sirius Black's friend sounded familiar——

He was in Romania, his name was Laius Siping, and he had been living in a very poor life. Dumbledore actually asked him to come to Hogwarts to help catch Sirius, but he also meant to give him some help...

"I shouldn't have seen this person before, right?" Dracula was a little doubtful and kept searching for his own memories in his mind.

The earl's memory is undoubtedly excellent, otherwise he would not be able to organize the more than a thousand years he has experienced in his mind clearly and without any confusion.

But the problem is that there are many things in this world that are not very important in his eyes. It is possible that even if he sees them, he will turn a blind eye and will not give these things a chance to stay in his memory.

If we really had to remember everything clearly, so many trivial and boring chores over the millennia would drive Dracula crazy!

But having said that, Sirius Black's friend did seem somewhat familiar to Dracula.

He thought about it carefully. Since he woke up from a deep sleep, he has returned to Romania only a handful of times. He has seen only a few strangers in their early thirties there, and there are even fewer strangers who can make some impression on him. Very few.

"Isn't Black's friend a werewolf?" Dracula's eyes moved.

He suddenly remembered that during the holiday after the first school year, when he had driven away a large number of inferi and werewolves, a werewolf who had surrendered himself came to Dracula's castle and met with him.

"The werewolf's name seems to be Remus Lupin, and he seemed to have said that he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix..." Dracula's expression became a little strange, "In that case, Dumbledore has been in contact before Isn’t it my problem if I don’t go to Lupine?”

At that time, Dracula, just for fun, tricked Lupine into becoming the Werewolf King of Romania.

In the past two years, he had been living among those savage werewolves. He must have lived a very difficult life, and he had little chance to contact the outside world. It was normal for him to be unable to contact him with an owl.

But now that we have contacted him, it seems that Lu Ping has really made some achievements among the werewolves.

Thinking of this, Dracula hesitated and wrote a short line of text to his cheap daughter Serena in Romania:

"Give me a copy of the recent situation on the werewolf side, in a little more detail."

After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that the text, which didn't look like a letter at all, was a bit sloppy. After Serena saw it, she might not only not send the information about the werewolf group, but she might even send a howling letter. scold him……

So Dracula curled his lips and reluctantly added a few more lines on the letter paper:

"To Serena: How have you been lately? Don't be too surprised. I am really sending this letter out of concern for you and for no other purpose.

In addition, I feel reassured that Dracula's Castle is left to you. Under your management, the Vampire Clan will surely prosper and get closer to your goal!

By the way, how are the werewolves near the castle doing? Please give me a copy of the recent situation on the werewolf side, in a little more detail.

——”

Looking at the parchment that finally barely conformed to the letter format, Dracula nodded with satisfaction, grabbed a passing Hogwarts public owl, and tied the parchment to its leg.

The owl flapped its wings, flew out of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, and trekked towards Romania.

Dracula thought for a moment and felt that the owl might fall in the middle while crossing the strait and the mainland, so he silently opened a dark moon and sent it directly to the vicinity of Dracula's castle.

Then he immediately took back the dark moon, fearing that Serena would discover his traces, and then drag him to deal with the backlog of matters in the castle. That's terrible...

…

While Dracula waits for Selina's reply, martial law is lifted at Hogwarts.

Little wizards could not stay in the Great Hall their entire lives, nor could they stay away from classes for fear of a criminal who must have left the castle.

The vandalized portrait of the Fat Lady had been taken down from the wall and replaced by another.

The new portrait shows a heavily armed knight standing next to a fat gray pony. From time to time he nervously points the long sword in his hand at the students outside the portrait, making some unexplained declarations of secondary school.

The knight's name was Cadogan, and he preferred to be called Sir Cadogan.

Sir Cadogan stayed on the seventh floor of the castle before coming here to become the doorkeeper of the Gryffindor common room. The Gryffindor wizards often saw him when they returned to the common room from the lower floors, so they were very interested in him. All fairly familiar.

But no one was happy that Sir Cadogan had assumed the role of caretaker of the lounge.

Ser Cadogan spent almost half his time challenging people to duels with him. The rest of the time was spent figuring out ridiculously complicated passwords—he had to change them at least twice a day.

According to Sir Cadogan, this way Sirius Black would not have a chance to crack their password.

"He's really crazy," the little Gryffindor wizard complained angrily to Percy, the Head of Student Council, "Can't we just change him?"

"None of the other paintings were willing to do this job," Percy sighed helplessly. "The other paintings were frightened by what happened to the Fat Lady. Sir Cadogan was the only one who stepped forward..."

"How should I put it? Although he usually likes to brag and does things irregularly, he does have the courage to be a knight."

However, as the savior of the wizarding world, Harry is not only worried about Sir Cadogan's affairs recently.

Ever since Sirius destroyed the Fat Lady's portrait, he had been under close surveillance by professors and prefects.

The professors always found various excuses to walk with him in the corridors; Percy always followed him everywhere on the pretext of tutoring homework and taking care of his juniors. The problem was that Percy was very good at tracking magic and Harry wanted to get rid of him. Can't get rid of him.

The most terrible thing is that Professor McGonagall called Harry into her office, with a heavy look on her face that made Harry think that the Minister of Magic had been assassinated by Sirius!

"Potter, I think you have already guessed who Sirius Black is here for." Professor McGonagall said seriously.

"Yes, I know he is looking for me," Harry said very tiredly, "I had heard the conversation between Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley before school started. Tonks was an arrogant person from the Ministry of Magic. Luo, she also briefly introduced me to that person."

"In this case, you must understand why I think it is not a good idea for you to practice Quidditch in the evening." Professor McGonagall said, "On the pitch, there are only your teammates around you. It can be said that you are completely exposed to others. Within the attack range..."

"But we will have our first Quidditch match soon!" Harry said, feeling very agitated. "I must train, Professor!"

Last year, it was because of his personal reasons that the Gryffindor Quidditch team failed to retain its championship position. Although Harry didn't say it, he always cared about it in his heart.

This school year, Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, is in seventh grade. This is his last year at Hogwarts. All the team members want to give their captain a perfect ending.

Harry also hopes to prove his true strength and win back the respect of others through competitions this school year.

Professor McGonagall looked at him intently.

Harry knew that she was actually extremely concerned about the future of the Gryffindor team.

After all, Professor McGonagall was a big fan of Quidditch, and it was she who first suggested making an exception for Harry to serve as Gryffindor's Seeker two years ago.

Harry also looked at Professor McGonagall, waiting, holding his breath nervously.

"Well..." Professor McGonagall stood up and looked out the window at the Quidditch pitch, which was vaguely visible in the rain.

"Okay... to tell you the truth, I would also like to see our team finally win a trophy." She said, "But no matter what, Potter... if there is a professor here to supervise your training , I think you will be safer and I will feel more at ease..."

…

Time passed quickly on the spire of Hogwarts Castle, and it was late autumn in a flash.

During this period, Remus Lupine came to Hogwarts as a visiting professor. He did not actually hold any teaching duties, but came simply to solve Sirius Black's problems.

The information about the werewolf pack collected by Serena has also been sent to Dracula.

It turns out that since Dracula captured Fenrir Greyback, the newly appointed werewolf leader at the time, the werewolf community in Romania has been plunged into civil strife for a long time.

Lupine had a dream in his heart under Dracula's trick. He wanted werewolves to live in a magical world without any discrimination.

So, he went to the turbulent werewolf territory with full of passion, attracted like-minded werewolves, and used his excellent magic ability to drive away those cruel werewolves who wanted to kill.

Because of Dracula's instructions, the vampire community will also help Lupine's actions from time to time.

More than a year has passed, and Lupine has unknowingly gained extremely high prestige among the werewolf community in Romania, leading a large number of conservative werewolves to create a brand new force.

During this period, the author of the best-selling book "Hairy Nose, Human Heart" was inspired by Lupin's actions and personally came to Romania, a new werewolf force, and used his influence to help Lupine among the werewolf group. The momentum created attracted more bright-minded werewolves to come and join him.

"The Hairy Nose, the Human Heart" has a great influence. It was once called the most acclaimed werewolf-related work together with Gilderoy Lockhart's "Wandering with the Werewolf". It tells the story of a wizard infected by a werewolf and his relationship with the Werewolf. A poignant story of a man who transformed into a wolf and fought.

After Gilderoy Lockhart's behavior of deleting other people's memories was made public, "The Hairy Nose, the Human Heart" became one of the best werewolf books ever written!

Therefore, Lupine's reputation gradually spread throughout the magical world through the author of this book, and was known to almost all werewolves.

Dumbledore learned about this at that time, and then contacted Lupine, who was busy all day long, through the author.

It stands to reason that now is the time for Lupine to consolidate his strength in the newly established force and enhance the cohesion of werewolves. However, for the sake of his friends and the students of Hogwarts, he resolutely put down his power. Back at Hogwarts Castle.

"Professor Dracula, it's an honor to see you again." Lupine knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office as soon as he came to Hogwarts and came to visit Dracula.

"I'm glad to see you too, Mr. Lupin." Dracula looked at the werewolf in front of him with interest, his clothes were still shabby, but his temperament was completely different from before, and he said, "But I haven't seen you in less than two years. , you really impress me now."

"Actually, this is all thanks to your help." Lu Ping shook his head, "If it weren't for your encouraging words back then, I'm afraid I would still be just a mediocre werewolf running around for a living, and I wouldn't be where I am today. If you don’t have a dream, you won’t have the current achievements.”

"This is all your own efforts and has nothing to do with me." Dracula took a sip of red wine and said calmly.

He looked calm on the outside, but actually felt a little weird inside.

Back then, just for fun, I tricked a random werewolf into becoming their wolf king, but I didn't expect that I actually succeeded? Should I feel proud or embarrassed about this situation...

"I know your importance in this, Professor Dracula." After a moment of silence, Lupine shook his head resolutely, "On several occasions, some conservative werewolf companions and I were besieged by those brutal elements, and almost In a desperate situation——"

"At that time, we were able to escape from danger with the help of the vampires under your command. I will keep these help in mind, but I just don't know how to repay..."

"Stop, stop, stop, why are you still feeling numb?" Dracula put down his goblet and glanced at him with some disgust, "To tell you the truth, I helped you a few times just for fun. I really didn't expect that. You can make it this far.”

"One code equals another. No matter what you think, Professor Dracula, it will be of great help to me." Lu Ping said sternly, "I can still tell this clearly."

"There's really nothing I can do about you." Dracula raised his hand to hold his forehead and said helplessly, "Well, how about you take out this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts test paper for me?"

"Well, the deal with Dumbledore has expired, and Riddle's current problem-solving ability is not good enough. You came just in time, and this is your reward!"
