Chapter 550 Three Lily Flowers

Just a few days after the game between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, it was the day for Lupine to go to the Ministry of Magic.

Remus John Lupin, accompanied by two werewolf registration office employees, was going through the weekly sign-in procedure.

Since Dumbledore reached some kind of compromise with Fudge, Lupine was spared the pain of imprisonment in Azkaban.

But his life did not return to its former ease.

According to the strict regulations of the Werewolf Registry, werewolves with "criminal records" like him must accept the direct surveillance of the Werewolf Registry.

He could not choose where to live as he pleased, nor could he embark on a long journey at will, and was even prohibited from leaving the borders of the Yin Kingdom.

Staff from the registration office come as scheduled every week to check on his living conditions and accompany him to the registration office to sign in.

And on the full moon night of every month, he had to spend it under the strict supervision of the registration office.

Lupine and the staff at the registration office passed through the gleaming golden gate of the Ministry of Magic and walked towards the elevator.

A young clerk touched the button closest to him, and the button marked "Down" immediately sunk, and then ten elevators appeared in front of them with a clanking sound.

The golden fence door slowly slid open after a jingling sound, and Lupin and the staff poured into the elevator with the flow of people.

The wizard pressed the fourth button skillfully, the fence door slammed shut, the elevator began to slowly descend, and the chain made a regular clicking sound.

The fence door slid open slightly, revealing the spacious and bright corridor outside.

As soon as they stepped into the corridor, an angry roar reached their ears.

I saw a bald man yelling angrily towards a bathroom at the corner of the corridor. The young registration clerk looked at him with an expression that he couldn't bear to look at. He stroked his forehead and sighed: "Oh, it must be Diggory again." Caused by Mr......."

Lupine couldn't help but feel surprised. Do these kinds of quarrels often happen in the Magical Creatures Management and Control Department?

Why do you say "again"?

He cast his doubtful eyes on the young wizard.

The other party seemed to notice his curiosity, shrugged, and motioned for him to come closer and listen.

"Amos Diggory!" the bald middle-aged man yelled angrily, "The time you spent in the toilet must be the longest record in the entire Ministry of Magic! You should spend more time on your work. , and not in the toilet!”

"Leave me alone, Dave!" Mr. Digory's louder and somewhat sullen voice came from the toilet. "The toilet is the last place of freedom for British wizards! Even the mysterious man did not ban his subordinates. The Death Eaters go... to the convenience!"

Lupine looked stunned.

Do these people talk so.........openly?

At this time, the young man frowned, rolled his eyes comically, then spread his hands and explained: "Well, relatively speaking, the atmosphere in our Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is not that...serious."

They led Lupin forward, passing through intricate corridors, and finally came to a room occupied by layers of stacks of paperwork.

The room was filled with the smell of old paper, and there were portraits of magical creatures hanging on the walls. They were either beautiful, ferocious, or naive, adding a bit of life to this dull space.

"Documents of various magical creatures are stored here~".

The young wizard pointed to the mountains of documents and said,

"The documents you registered are also included... Ah, Professor Lupin, I mean no offense, but according to the regulations, you also need to fill out a form for the next week's whereabouts.

As he spoke, he took out a form from a pile and handed it to Lupin.

He was also present when the young wizards at Hogwarts bid farewell to Lupin, so he was relatively sympathetic to Lupin. At this time, he also thought of being polite to him, and carefully selected the words he spoke, for fear of hurting him.

At this moment, a lazy female voice sounded at the door, breaking the brief tranquility.

"Sorry to bother you, I need to take Mr. Remus John Lupin away."

Penelope Crevat stood elegantly in the doorway, arms folded across her chest.

She was dressed in a new black Auror uniform, simple and elegant, which formed a sharp contrast with the gorgeousness of her flaming red lips, as if she were a goddess in the dark.

"Miss Penello, please forgive my offence. According to regulations, your Auror department cannot interfere with the affairs of our Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures. This involves collaboration between departments and..."

The young wizard said bravely.

He knew that the beauty in front of him was a famous rising star in the Ministry of Magic. When Ms. Proudmoore purged the Crouch faction, she dared to lock her immediate boss and a group of colleagues in the office to prevent them from interacting with each other. Ms. Proudmoore is really brave and resourceful in playing opposite roles.

Not only did she have a good relationship with the famous Killer Star among the Aurors, but she also seemed to have a background that most people couldn't afford to offend.

But he must fulfill his duties.

Before he finished speaking, Penello waved his hand gently, and a golden permission order flew lightly in front of him as if it were alive.

The young wizard recognized the familiar signature on it at a glance—Katlana Presto, his immediate boss's immediate boss.

He quickly scanned the contents of the document, which clearly stated that "all subsequent surveillance matters of Remus John Lupin will be solely responsible for Penelo Crevat."

This sudden change caught him off guard.

The young man sighed helplessly, knowing that he had no right to interfere with the decision of his superiors.

He quickly issued the transfer document and cast an apologetic look at Professor Lupin.

"I'm very sorry, Professor Lupin, this is the decision from above." He said softly, then sat on the chair and watched Penello decisively lead Remus John Lupin away.

Professor Lupine was confused by the situation in front of him, but when he saw Penello, he still recognized him.

He remembered that in his first year as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Penelope was a seventh-year student at Hogwarts and the head girl of the college. She is talented and brave, and she successfully expelled the dementors with him, Levin and others on the train to school.

Lupine clearly remembers that Penello was Levin and Gianna's right-hand man, and he joined Gianna's staff directly after graduation.

Now that he saw her appearing here and asking him to follow her away, he couldn't help but be filled with doubts.

In this case, why did she ask her to go to the werewolf registration office?

However, Lupine didn't say much and chose to follow Penello obediently.

The two walked out of the Ministry of Magic, and Penello took him for a teleportation with ease.

When they appeared again, they were already in a quiet valley.

The valley is surrounded by dense trees, and the air is filled with a fresh earthy scent.

Lupine had just followed Penello into this place called the "Giant Sanctuary" when he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of huge footsteps, as if something was approaching them quickly.

Lupine subconsciously clenched the wand in his hand and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

I saw a small group of giants coming from a distance, and their figures gradually became clearer in the sunlight.

The average height of these giants is more than six meters. Their skin is pale with a hint of yellow. They wear black fur coats and have shaved heads. They look smart and capable.

Lupine's expression froze instantly, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

The giants he had seen before were all fat men with bloated bodies and clumsy movements.

But these guys in front of me are completely different. They are tall and strong, with muscles as hard as sculptures... These are simply the Titans in Greek mythology!

"Three lilies, three lilies, I planted them on my tomb. A proud horseman went there and photographed these flowers...

In order to avoid discrimination in the wizarding world, Lupine lived in the Muggle world for a period of time in his early years, so he had a certain understanding of Muggle culture and lifestyle.

He found that the way these giants moved was quite similar to the Muggle army: they maintained a neat formation, moved forward with powerful steps, and kept singing songs.

The lyrics sounded like a quite relaxed and romantic ballad, but combined with the strict formation of the giants and the uniform footsteps of the thick leather boots on their feet, Lupine felt a little creepy.

As the giants passed by, Lupine had to wave his hands to cover his mouth and nose to block the drifting smoke.

He looked up at Penello in front of him and saw that she was still moving forward expressionlessly, as if she was turning a blind eye to everything around her.

Lupine knew that even if he asked, the other party would not reveal any substantive information.

So, he gave up the question that he almost blurted out.

However, the sight before him still worried Lupine.

What do these giants want to do? Why do they appear here? What is their purpose?

If he could leave alive, he must inform the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore about the situation here.

After walking for a while, Lupin's eyes lit up and he saw some rest areas on the edge of the field.

The atmosphere here was obviously much more relaxed [let his tense nerves relax a little.

In addition to those giants, some wizards in white coats also appeared here. They were busy shuttling among the giants, and they were obviously staff here.

Lupine noticed that these giants and wizards got along very well, and they even got together to play poker!

These playing cards are obviously blessed by magic. Whenever they are dealt to the hands of a giant, they will automatically expand and become larger [turning into a super large string of playing cards suitable for electric people to watch.

The giants and staff sat together, with happy smiles on their faces, concentrating on the game.

Lupine stood aside, silently observing this unique poker game.

He was surprised to find that these giants not only learned English and songs and could communicate normally, but now "they can even play poker so skillfully, a defensive game that requires intelligence and strategy!"

After the card game ended, a giant suddenly slapped a staff member next to him with his palm.

The staff member did not dodge, but turned over and landed firmly on the ground.

He was not hurt in any way, but laughed and reminded the giant not to cheat.

Seeing this scene, Lupine couldn't help but sigh at the great progress of these giants.

Not only did they learn to control their power, but they also learned to keep their wits about them while joking.

This made him have more curiosity and questions about these giants.

He wanted to know how on earth these giants learned to collect so many things?

Are their intelligence really capable of understanding these complex rules and strategies?

How did these changes occur?

The title of the song "Three Lilies" is actually a military song

Pictured is Penello.
