Chapter 58 The New Werewolf Professor

Weiss and the new Professor Lupin quickly united their forces. They were waiting for the Dementors to attack. After all, as professors at Hogwarts, they couldn't take action first.

As the two sides were confronting each other, several Aurors came over. They looked serious, dressed in neat uniforms, and their wands were neatly tucked at their waists.

The Aurors' duty is to monitor the Dementors and ensure they do not abuse their power while carrying out their duties. Whenever there is a conflict between Dementors and other personnel, the Aurors will intervene to mediate and maintain order and balance.

The Aurors were not surprised to hear that the two Hogwarts professors were trying their best to prevent the Dementors from entering the train for inspection.

They were all Hogwarts graduates and had deep feelings for their alma mater. They also disagreed with the Dementors' actions of searching the train, but due to their superiors' orders and their duties, they could not express their opposition openly.

Now, seeing the two Hogwarts professors step forward to stop the Dementors' actions, they of course stood on the side of the school without hesitation.

However, the Dementors were determined to search the train.

Despite the Aurors' constant dissuasion, the Dementors ignored them and were about to force their way onto the train.

Weiss didn't want to waste time talking to these monsters, so he immediately released a stream of thick silvery mist from his wand. The mist rolled and surged, constantly changing shape.

As everyone watched in amazement, the thick fog gradually condensed and took shape, ultimately transforming into a majestic eagle. The eagle spread its wings, and a high-pitched cry pierced the sky, carrying with it boundless majesty and power.

The eagle flew straight towards the Dementors, who, sensing the power of the Patronus, scattered and fled, soon disappearing from sight.

"Okay, it's resolved." Weiss put away his wand and calmly reassured the crew in the cab and the onlookers.

The Aurors looked at each other in confusion when they saw Weiss's performance. No one wanted to offend the professor because of the Dementors.

They exchanged glances, then made a tacit decision and let him go.

"Professor Lupin, I leave the rest to you." After Weiss gave his instructions, he flashed and used Apparition to leave.

After Weiss left, the students were in an uproar. They talked excitedly and speculated about what kind of magic Weiss had used to repel the evil Dementors.

That magical scene was deeply imprinted in their minds and became the first legendary story of their new semester.

After making sure that the Dementors wouldn't dare return, Weiss returned to Hogwarts. He walked through the familiar corridors, entered the Great Hall, found his seat, and quietly waited for the start of the opening ceremony.

When Dumbledore saw Weiss coming back, he immediately came over and whispered, "Well done. I'll handle the Ministry of Magic. You don't have to worry."

Weiss raised his chin slightly, looking nonchalant. "I never worry about the Ministry of Magic."

The opening ceremony was about to begin, and he adjusted his clothes again to make sure he looked presentable.

"Headmaster, you should be tougher, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will push your luck."

Dumbledore sighed slightly and said, "Fudge is too timid. If I force myself on him, he will think I want to usurp his position and might do something irrational."

Weiss snorted, "What a stupid, selfish politician."

Weiss never thinks highly of the moral integrity of these politicians. In his opinion, politicians often ignore the overall situation for their own interests.

After the two talked for a few words, students entered the auditorium one after another. The auditorium was suddenly very lively, filled with the chatter of students.

The students talked about what happened on the train today, and looked at Weiss in the professor's seat from time to time.

The professors were all present. They looked at the students either seriously or kindly, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin. Occasionally, a professor would whisper something to each other.

After everyone arrived, the annual opening ceremony officially began. Headmaster Dumbledore stood solemnly on the podium. He specifically warned students to be careful not to do anything that might cause misunderstanding, as Dementors would be patrolling the school grounds.

"Dementors truly know no excuses. They are cold, ruthless creatures of darkness, acting only on their instincts and the missions assigned to them by the Ministry of Magic."

"But Professor Erwin fought off those monsters today. He summoned a beautiful eagle. What kind of magic was that?"

Although Fred in his seat was a little scared by Dumbledore's description of Dementors, he still bravely expressed his opinion.

The students began to talk among themselves, and the whole auditorium was in chaos for a while. The professors exchanged glances with each other, expressing their appreciation for Weiss's actions.

As the person involved, Weiss was the most composed. He sat there quietly, facing the approving glances from students and professors, without a trace of complacency on his face. He only occasionally looked up at Dumbledore, waiting for the opening ceremony to continue.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore used magic to amplify his voice, drowning out all the other sounds. The students even had to cover their ears, and the hall fell silent in an instant.

Dumbledore looked around the room and continued, "The Patronus Charm is a profound magic, difficult even for adult wizards to master..."

He explained in detail the importance and difficulty of the Patronus Charm, and finally reminded the students to be careful of Dementors.

After the opening ceremony, Dumbledore invited Weiss and Lupin to the headmaster's office.

Lupin seemed a little nervous. He secretly looked at Weiss beside him, because he knew clearly why Dumbledore asked him to come to the office.

"Headmaster, I don't think this is a good idea." Lupin fidgeted and kept rubbing his dry-looking hands.

"Lupin, Weiss is trustworthy," Dumbledore soothed. "And you don't want Severus to get involved."

After hearing Snape's name, Lupin lowered his head in shame. "We did go too far back then. I don't expect him to forgive us."

At this point, Weiss had already guessed Dumbledore's purpose.

"Wes, I hope you can help me brew the wolfsbane potion. I know your potion skills are excellent." Dumbledore made a new request to Wes.

"Wolfsbane potion can help werewolves maintain their sanity on full-moon nights, inhibiting their transformation and preventing them from losing their minds and attacking others when they transform.

The new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is a werewolf, and Wolfsbane Potion is crucial to him.

"Okay." This time, Weiss agreed readily. His calm reaction was beyond the expectations of Lupin and Dumbledore.

Lupin has always suffered a lot of discrimination because of his identity as a werewolf. In the wizarding world, werewolves are seen as evil and dangerous by many people. Although Lupin tries hard to control his werewolf nature, prejudice always follows him.

He had excellent grades in school and thought that with his talent and hard work, he would be able to find a suitable job after graduation and start a new chapter in his life.

However, the reality was extremely cruel. He encountered obstacles everywhere and could not find a job. He could only live a wandering life.

In the past, he had lived a good life with the help of his two best friends Sirius and James Potter. However, since Sirius was considered to have betrayed them and the Potters died tragically, Lupin's world collapsed.

He fell into deep pain and confusion. The betrayal and departure of his best friend hit him hard, and he was unable to get over this huge pain for a long time.

He wandered alone in the darkness for a long time, until this year, when he became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts despite the danger, with only one firm belief in his heart, that is to protect Harry.

Harry was the child of his best friend, and he couldn't let Harry make the same mistake as the Potters.

He swore secretly: "Sirius, I will definitely stop you this time!"
