Hogwarts: From Little Wizard to White Lord

Lupin had mentioned this issue to Vaughan before, but Vaughan didn't seem to care. At least two months had passed and Vaughan had not made any new arrangements for the werewolves. He only told Lupin that everything would be decided after the Werewolf Affairs Committee was established.

Lupin also knew that Vaughn had helped the werewolves enough. So far, the wolfsbane potion consumed by hundreds of werewolves in two full moons was sponsored by Vaughn and Dumbledore.

Everyone was able to return to life in the Muggle community thanks to the tens of thousands of pounds provided by Vaughan.

Logically, he shouldn't ask for too much, but the fact is, Lupin doesn't know who else can help the werewolves besides Vaughn?

Compared to his anxiety, little Banar didn't feel anything. After all, he was not a wizard and had no fear of the Statute of Secrecy.

In the eyes of little Banar, everything is slowly getting better. Although he grew up in the wilderness, he doesn't like that kind of savage life at all.

He longs to return to human society, likes cities, and likes TV. Apart from his preference for eating raw meat due to lycanthropy, he is no different from an ordinary Muggle teenager.

Half a month ago, young Bannell found a job as a waiter in a dock bar. He received his first weekly salary in his life, which was only 90 pounds.

He used the money to buy a pen and the rest to buy some candy for the children.

He called Lupin because he wanted him to do him a favor -

After a few pleasantries, regardless of Lupin's absent-mindedness, little Bannell pulled Lupin to a secluded corner, hesitantly took out the pen, and stammered, "Remus, can you...can you help me give this to the gentleman?"

Lupin was stunned, "You..."

He had barely uttered the words when James Brown, waving a newspaper, rushed over excitedly. "Remus, Bannell, the sir made it! He made it!"

Chapter 89 Fanatical Werewolves

"The Wizengamot has passed a resolution to agree to form a Werewolf Affairs Committee!"

In the spacious and crowded warehouse, on a makeshift podium made of several wooden boxes, little Bannell and James were reading newspapers.

All the old people, women, children, including the strong men who came to help, hundreds of people surrounded them with eager eyes, and the warehouse was packed.

James poked the photo in the newspaper with his wand, trying to get the werewolves to see it move.

But his poor spellcasting skills made it difficult for him to do such a thing.

In the end, Lupin couldn't bear it anymore and helped to cast a spell to reinfuse the developing potion on the newspaper with magic.

The wolves finally saw what was happening. In a solemn and majestic hall, which was prominently displayed on the front page, a witch with a serious face announced something under the flashing spotlights.

Then she stepped aside and welcomed a familiar figure to the podium.

The moment that person appeared, the continuous spotlights were like lightning.

There were whispers all around:

"It's Mr. Weasley."

“Looks really impressive!”

"Mr. Weasley seems to have grown taller..."

Standing in the crowd, listening to the friendly and proud discussions around him, Lupin had a complicated expression.

Two months passed, and he almost witnessed with his own eyes that Vaughn's reputation in the werewolf group changed from a faint favor to respect, and then to unparalleled trust and intimacy.

Even though Vaughn rarely came to visit the werewolves.

This was the outcome he had been worried about all along, but the longer he lived with this group of wandering werewolves over the past two months, the more he couldn't stop them.

They could only watch passively as these people's admiration for Vaughn grew day by day.

While he was daydreaming, little Banar had already started reading the newspaper report on the podium made of wooden boxes:

"...Just yesterday, February 1992, 2, when the full moon was high in the sky (the full moon in the middle of each month is recorded in the lunar calendar, not necessarily in the solar calendar), a time when we would normally worry about whether there would be another werewolf rebellion, a memorable resolution was made in the Wizengamot Grand Council Chamber at the Ministry of Magic."

"From the moment Amelia Burns announced that the Wizengamot vote was valid, the Werewolf Affairs Committee, an organization proposed by Mr. Vaughn Weasley to help stray werewolves and curb the spread of lycanthropy, has been approved by the Wizengamot and established in England!"

Cheers suddenly broke out from the audience, everyone smiled and excitedly hugged the people around them.

This also applies to Lupin.

After a brief period of cheering and celebration, everyone stopped and listened to Little Banar continue reading:

"...The establishment of the Werewolf Affairs Committee is likely to have a profound impact on the entire wizarding world. It is the first legal organization in the global wizarding world that is primarily composed of non-wizards..."

"...According to further information disclosed by the Wizengamot, the main purpose of the Werewolf Affairs Committee is to collect all stray werewolves residing in England, re-register them, and cooperate with the Ministries of Magic of various countries to jointly alleviate the international werewolf problem and fight against evil forces like Greyback..."

"In his final speech, Mr. Vaughan Weasley proposed his plan for the committee's organizational structure. It is understood that the Werewolf Affairs Committee will have one president, four vice-presidents, and 1 members."

"According to Mr. Vaughan Weasley's plan, 27 of the 14 committee seats will be mandatory and must be elected from werewolves—returning werewolf rights to werewolves, which is also the original intention of the committee's establishment!"

"Some pure-blood families in the wizarding world who wish to remain anonymous have expressed concern about this trend..."

The rest of the text contained the reactions of the wizarding community to the incident. There was no need to read it, as it did not prevent the werewolves from being immersed in joy and discussing the whole matter - the committee, legal institutions, the werewolf committee seats...

These things are enough to cheer everyone up.

Little Banar threw away the newspaper and shouted from the podium, "Everyone, please take action and tell our brothers and sisters working outside this good news. Tell them that we are celebrating here tonight. In addition, there are some things we need to discuss!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and soon someone asked loudly, "Banner, what do you want to discuss?"

"Of course it's the committee's business," Little Bannell replied loudly. "You heard, Mr. Weasley secured 14 seats for us, which is more than half of the 27 committee members. This is the benefit Mr. Weasley has sought for us, so we must protect it."

In the crowd, Lupin's expression changed. He had guessed what little Banar was going to say.

But looking at the people around him, he moved his lips a few times, but ultimately did not say a word to stop it!

Little Banar looked at the people below the stage, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and shouted, "Everyone, you also heard the last report about what the wizards think of us. We need to ensure that these 14 committee members can work together to fight against the wizards and protect the interests of all of us..."

No matter what kind of group, there is always a lack of smart people. Before little Bannell could finish his words, someone in the crowd shouted, "Then elect you, James Brown, and William White... You guys were the first to follow Mr. Weasley. I believe in you!"

Soon, someone else said, "After the committee elections are completed, we'll elect the president and vice-presidents, right? Why not let Mr. Weasley be the president? I only trust him and won't approve of anyone else!"

"That's right. When we were down and out, in despair, only the gentleman was willing to help us. We only trusted him."

Some people also worriedly said, "What if the gentleman doesn't want to? After all, he still has to go to school. I heard that he is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"With the committee members we elected to help Mr. Weasley, it won't take up much of his time. Michael, you're an adult too. You should understand that no matter where you are, it's best for you to have some power. We are Mr. Weasley's power and his strongest backing!"

"Yes, yes, everyone should know that Mr. Weasley offended the Minister of Magic for us. We can't let him continue to be an ordinary student alone!"

"Yes, brothers and sisters, remember what the newspaper said? They think we werewolves are enough to become an armed force. If it's for Mr. Weasley, I don't mind becoming a weapon in his hands!"

The crowd started talking one after another and gradually became noisy.

Lupin felt extremely complicated as he watched the expressions of those around him become fanatical and unfamiliar in the blink of an eye. This was something he had always wanted to prevent, but it still happened in the end...

The werewolves' discussion is just a discussion for now.

The most important thing at the moment is to notify other people working outside as soon as possible so that everyone can share the joy together.

Everyone was suddenly busy, except for Remus Lupin, who felt completely out of place.

Of course, he also supports the Werewolf Affairs Committee. As a werewolf, he is destined to be unable to oppose a legal organization that protects his rights.

What made him unable to adapt was the enthusiasm of the people around him and their concern about the future of the committee.

At noon, they received news that more and more werewolves were coming after get off work, so Little Banar, William and James organized people to go and purchase.

Lupin took the opportunity to leave and found an empty alley. He took out a leather glove.

The moment the glove was taken out, it automatically flew into the air and swelled up, as if an invisible hand had put it on, gestured a few times in the air, and pointed in a direction.

Lupin followed the guidance of the gloves and walked through the crisscrossing alleys.

Until I turned who knows how many corners, I came to a secluded and dim dead end.

Crack!

The space twisted a few times with a slight sound of breaking, and Dumbledore, wearing a pink nightgown, appeared in front of Lupin, with Fawkes standing on his shoulder.

The old man's blue eyes were as bright as Lupin remembered, and his smile was as crescent-shaped as his crescent-shaped glasses:

"Remus, dear, did everything go well yesterday with the full moon?"

Lupin bowed slightly. "Hello, Headmaster. With the wolfsbane potion, at least it's much better than before."

"I heard Vaughn mention that the current wolfsbane potion has some side effects that he hadn't considered before?"

Lupin nodded. "Yes, it allows us to stay awake while having to endure the pain of transformation, just like when we first try the Animagus transformation..."

When he said this, his eyes were a little dazed.

Long-lost memories suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart, as if I could see the days at Hogwarts again, when even the cold moon that frightened werewolves was as golden as the afterglow of the sunset.

A werewolf, a black dog, a stag, and a mouse.

Such a strange combination wandered and ran wildly in the forbidden forest, and the laughter of memory floated slowly in the mist between the trees.

Not only did he think of it, but Dumbledore, who was very impressed by the mischievous group "The Marauders" (a small gang of James, Lupin, etc.), also thought of it.

He sighed, "As I recall, James's Animagus is a stag, right? I heard that he learned Animagus specifically just to accompany you through the full moon transformation... He's a very good friend and leader, Remus."

When Lupin heard the familiar name, his heart suddenly ached.

Yes, James is the best friend and leader, and the most talented wizard Lupin has ever met. James not only learned Animagus himself, but also helped the other two learn it, which is something outsiders don’t know.

But, he is already dead...betrayed by another good friend!

Lupin took a deep breath and tried to change the subject: "Dumbledore, will you join the Werewolf Affairs Committee?"

"Why do you ask?"

Dumbledore asked with a smile.

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a powerful spell enveloped him and Lupin.

The two figures disappeared into the air, and then Dumbledore led Lupin out of the dead end and onto the Muggle street.

It was already evening, the busiest time of the day in Newham.

The old buildings on both sides of the road, which were built in the 19th century, gradually lit up their lights. The lights and neon lights reflected each other. Workers from nearby factories and docks bathed in the prosperity and fireworks created by the lights, enjoying the rare tranquility of the day.

Dumbledore observed the Muggles with great interest and patience.

Lupin thought for a long time before answering, "I don't believe you can't see Vaughn Weasley's influence on werewolves. If you don't know, then I can tell you that just today, the werewolves were clamoring to use more than half of the seats on the committee to nominate Vaughn Weasley as chairman of the committee..."

He recounted what had happened in the morning.

At this moment, a chubby child munching on ice cream passed by. The aroma of the dessert attracted Dumbledore, who couldn't help but look back frequently, so he said perfunctorily: "So?"

Lupin, filled with sorrow and anxiety, could not help but say angrily, "So? Isn't this enough to be alarming? Those werewolves even clamored that they were willing to be weapons of Vaughn Weasley... Are you going to watch the committee become Weasley's personal tool?"

"Then what do you want me to do?"
