Chapter 772 Changes in Diagon Alley (page 12)
When Kyle and Newt left the Black Forest, it was already dark.
The two of them stood under the long-lost moonlight, and Newt still complained with a distressed expression that Kyle should not have destroyed such a large forest.
"This is the only way I can think of to deter werewolves." Kyle explained tirelessly: "Only by showing absolute strength can they give up some of their unrealistic fantasies.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore also say that? Hatred should not continue. If werewolves appear on the battlefield this time, this idea will never be realized."
"I know everything you said, but..." Newt sighed.
Of course he knew that this was the best option. He didn't have to kill all the werewolves, but it could also deter them from getting involved in the war. It could be said to be the best of both worlds, but he just felt it was a pity.
How many Bowtruckles can be supported in such a large forest...
"Forget it, it's not Li Huo anyway. With the unique landforms of the Black Forest, he should be able to recover soon." Newt comforted himself in his heart.
And soon he thought of another thing. After Kyle used the expansion spell, the plants that had grown several times larger must also need more nutrients. The thicker roots were like a water pump, which could All surrounding nutrients are drained away.
Even without the fire spell, the plants around that area would probably gradually wither away.
Regardless of whether this was the case or not, at least Newt finally felt a lot more comfortable.
The two of them walked forward for a while, and no one seemed to be in a hurry to go back.
"Are you really going to help Mr. Lupine push for the Werewolf Act?" Newt suddenly asked.
"If possible, I actually don't mind helping out a little bit," Kyle said. "Remus has proven that even a werewolf can become a righteous wizard when he grows up in a normal environment. Since If he can do it, there's no reason why other werewolves can't... all they lack is a guidance process. "
"You should know that this is difficult." Newt said, "Wizards have a long history of prejudice against werewolves, and it has even become an instinct. This cannot be changed by a war, even if the werewolves stand unswervingly on our side. Neither does this side.
"No one wants to have their children and werewolves in the same classroom. If I guess correctly, Dumbledore should have deliberately concealed his werewolf identity when he admitted Mr. Lupin to school."
"That's true." Kyle nodded. "That's why I say there's only a one percent chance of the Werewolf Act passing."
The hatred that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years cannot be said to be just reconciliation. There must be a long process in between.
Not to mention that just a week ago, there were often reports of werewolves attacking wizards in newspapers. People had already assumed that werewolves had joined the Death Eaters. It didn't make much sense to switch sides at this time.
"So..." Newt looked at Kyle, "You deliberately lied to those werewolves in order to stabilize them?"
"Of course not." Kyle said: "If you just want to deal with the werewolf threat, wouldn't it be faster to kill them directly? Given the situation at that time, killing them is easier than drinking water, so why bother."
"Then you really want to help them?" Newt continued to ask.
"I didn't think so." Kyle looked back in the direction of the black forest. Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see those glowing eyes in the forest.
"After all, the person who wants the majority to agree to this Werewolf Bill is not Lupin, nor me, nor the Minister of Magic, but the werewolves themselves who can play a key role. Everything they do directly affects the majority of the people. Human decision-making is too variable.
"So I won't go out of my way to do anything like Remus Lupin, because it may take several years, or even ten years, and I don't want to waste my time on it. But I also don't mind doing whatever I can to Help him a little bit."
"Really?" Newt said meaningfully, "Is that what you think?"
"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "At least that's what I think now."
"Smart thing," Newt said.
The two came to a hillside outside the black forest.
"What to do with the werewolf in Knockturn Alley?" Kyle asked.
"What's his personality like?"
"Not very good." Kyle said, "According to what Cat Leopard told me, that werewolf is the most like Fenrir Greyback. He takes pleasure in biting people, and he will have some fun even if it is not a full moon night, so Only then would he be placed in the more important Knockturn Alley by the Death Eaters, instead of being thrown around like trash in the Black Forest waiting for orders.
"So far, he has bitten five people in just one month, three wizards and two Muggles.
"This is only what Yeorman knows, and he has been in the Black Forest for a long time. There may be more that he doesn't know."
"Hmm...what do you think?" Newt asked after pondering for a moment.
"It's okay anyway, let's go take a look." Kyle thought for a while and said, "If possible, I can also help Lupine with a little help."
"Then it's up to you." Newt said with a smile, as if he just regarded himself as a pendant, completely forgetting that he had brought Kyle to the Black Forest.
……
London a few minutes later.
Along with a crisp crackling sound, two figures appeared on a certain street one after another.
Because it was already very late, there was no one on the street, and almost all the shops were closed. Only a dilapidated sign in the middle of the street was still flashing on and off, as if there was a bad connection. .
Kyle and Newt pushed open the door and walked in.
To be honest, he had never seen the Leaky Cauldron so deserted. There was no one inside.
The bar owner Tom was cleaning glasses boredly behind the counter. When he saw someone coming in, he stood up quickly.
"Oh, Kyle..." Tom said happily, not recognizing Newt, "You must have graduated. Do you want something to drink? How about Butterbeer, or do you prefer Firewhiskey?"
"Next time, Tom, we have other things to do," Kyle said.
Visibly, Tom's expression changed from surprise to disappointment, and he sat back behind the counter dejectedly.
"What's happening here? Why is there no one there?" Kyle asked curiously.
The news of Voldemort's resurgence had not just come out a day or two ago. Even when the commotion was at its worst, people didn't even dare to come to the Leaky Cauldron.
"Don't you know?" Tom raised his head, looked at Kyle in confusion, and then explained: "Yesterday, the Dark Mark appeared over Dagonils' shop in Diagon Alley. Including her, a total of three shop assistants were Killed."
Dagoniers?
Kyle thought about it and found that he had no memory of the name at all, but that was normal. There were so many shops in Diagon Alley, and he couldn't possibly know every boss.
The most important thing now is the news that Tom said... Death Eaters have targeted Diagon Alley and killed the owner of a store.
