Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 424 Lupin's Changes

"It's a bit strange indeed."

"But what surprised me most was when Rawl was willing to accept a Squib."

"Even if that Squib can get past lycanthropy and master some simple magic."

"Perhaps this has something to do with the changes in Azkaban."

"Hagrid, tell Dumbledore this conjecture now."

"Perhaps this can be done from the side--" Lupin suggested.

Hagrid nodded and then closed his eyes, as if he was telling Dumbledore the same thing he had just done with Harry.

"Dumbledore said that he knew it a long time ago, and it can indeed be seen that this is developing in a good direction." After about two or three minutes, in the solemn gaze of everyone, Hagrid also half-concealedly said to Lupin.

"What?" Ron grumbled in dissatisfaction.

But he saw Harry wink at him.

"Then we'll leave first." Harry waved his hand and pulled Ginny towards the castle.

"Lupin! You must be good to Tonks!" Ginny waved before closing the door.

"One more year, Dumbledore said one more year." Lupin said to himself subconsciously after Harry and the others left.

As if trying to convince myself.

"Aren't you going to go and Tonks--?" Hagrid widened his already small black beetle-like eyes.

Lupin sighed deeply.

On the way back to the castle, Ron finally couldn't help but ask Harry, "What did you think of just now? Why did we leave Hagrid's cabin so quickly?"

Ginny also looked at her boyfriend curiously.

Harry hadn't said a word all along the way.

Just keep walking in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.

"We should be able to talk now."

"Just now I was worried that Hagrid might 'hear' our conversation."

"In fact, we have just understood something from the conversation between Hagrid and Lupin - Rowle has always insisted on keeping Azkaban a secret prison, which must be related to the current changes in Azkaban."

"Besides, don't you find it weird?"

"Mr. Weasley built a prison for minor criminals without any obstruction from the Rawls," Harry said confidently.

He paused briefly and did not continue.

If, given Hagrid's character, he heard it, then Hagrid's words would definitely ring in his mind the next second.

"Looks like Hagrid didn't hear it." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait, so what do you know about this?"

"We are not Dumbledore."

"He is well-informed and knows the secrets of the Rolls."

"And our only source of information about this secret is Filch."

"He's a Squib."

"In a family like Rawl's, what could a Squib like him know?" Ron shook his head.

He is now depressed because his business idea was shot down.

Since Dumbledore said that things are developing in a positive direction, there is no need to pursue it.

They are just students, all they need to do is study hard.

At most, spend a little extra time on making money.

"No, Filch must know something."

"Now that secret of Rawl's is no longer worth protecting."

"They even want Filch, a wizard who was transformed from a Squib."

"This means that the disappearance of Azkaban must have had a great impact on them."

"It has declined to this point." "I now have two plans."

"One is to find Steven, the 4th year Ravenclaw cat guy."

"He loves cats and knows many ways to please them. He also has great experience in raising cats. He is the only student who can talk to Filch."

"The second is through Draco. Pure-bloods like them are already related. Now let him go to the Rawl family to inquire about a piece of news that may not be very important. It may be much easier than we thought." Harry became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't help waving his hands.

"When did you think of this?" Ron looked at Harry hesitantly.

At this moment, he felt that his understanding of his friend was so strange.

"Just now."

"I thought of this plan when Filch was mentioned."

"But, Ron, I now think that the plan you mentioned may actually be partially feasible."

"Have you noticed what Lupin looks like now?"

"When we last saw him, he was still pale, thin, and had sunken cheeks."

"But what now?" Harry looked at Ron and Ginny.

Ron didn't answer. He was concentrating on thinking about how Lupin's current appearance could be related to his business.

"He came too fast."

"I thought of this as soon as you mentioned it. From my magical reconnaissance location, it's quite far from Hagrid's house, but it only took him ten minutes."

"And I don't feel tired at all after rushing here."

"I thought he used some unpopular magic."

"but--"

Harry smiled slightly and continued Ginny's words, "But the mud on his leather boots that he hadn't had time to remove, and his hair that seemed to be blown by the strong wind gave it away."

"Yes, walking in the Forbidden Forest does involve some mud, but that was from him running madly, and the mud on the soles of his shoes was slightly dry due to the intense friction."

“It’s not a windy day now.”

"From this point of view, it can also be seen that he definitely did not turn into a wolf and rush here."

"That's what you noticed." Ginny nodded.

"What I noticed was the way Lupin looked now."

"His body hair has grown a lot. When he held my shoulders, I could clearly see thicker chest hair than he had ever had before."

"His cheeks were no longer hollow, his face was full of color, and his figure was no longer thin."

"In the brief moment when he and I came into contact, I even noticed the slight bulge of his muscles."

"I even mistakenly thought that he had mastered the body-transforming magic from the "Method of Forging a Powerful Heart" just like me."

"But, obviously, after the incarnation of Fenrir is completed, the human form will also retain some of the strength and physique of the wolf form." Harry narrowed his eyes.

"Then in this way, wizards in the future will be divided into wizards who have mastered Fenir's Avatar and wizards who can't."

"Because I didn't practice it, I suffered a lot."

"Just think about it, a strong physique, the ability to transform into a wolf, plus the wizard's magic."

"No wonder the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic is willing to advance the wolfsbane potion."

"As far as I know, this department is the most cost-conscious in terms of spending."

"Many werewolves don't have much money."

"In this way, the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will have a group of powerful wizards who temporarily obey orders in order to pay off their debts and have trained themselves to become the incarnation of Fenrir." Ron couldn't help but say.

He finally understood something now.

Why Harry said that his assumption was partially true.

Because, behind this business there are not only a group of wizards who want their offspring to be wizards as well.

He won't be able to succeed in this business.
