Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

"you--"

"Lynn, do you have any plans?" Lupin silently changed his address and pressed Sirius's shoulder, saying, "I think we can put aside our personal grudges. We have the same stance on this matter. There is no need to be so angry."

"Yeah, seeing him in such a mess makes me feel better." Lynn was very polite, "If you hadn't been hanging out with these guys back then, maybe we could have gotten along well, Remus."

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "We were all young at that time, so it was inevitable that we would have some... Tell me about the plan, I know you are good at this."

Sirius snorted coldly, but did not continue to struggle, but fell on the pile of straw.

"Your goals now should be two: one is to capture the real traitor Peter Pettigrew, and the other is to exonerate Black. They are essentially the same thing." Lynn raised a finger, "But I also need that coward who deserves to die to do something for me."

"He did it for you? There's nothing he can do that I can't." Sirius flexed his bony fingers. "I've endured it for twelve years. I don't want to wait any longer."

"Do you want to die for him?" Lynn looked at him coldly. "Never question my judgment, Blake, because you have never made the right choice."

He took out a piece of parchment covered with words and threw it away. "Don't try to think with your walnut-sized brain. You just need to do the things written on it well. This is already your best ability."

"Me!" The hot-tempered Sirius was about to get angry again, but calmed down after seeing the words on the parchment. "How do you know these things? And... Harry...! Why are you helping me?"

"I am surprised by what I have seen." Lin En glanced at him, "Because I have my own source of information."

"What about Harry? This is not something you can do!"

"On the one hand, the child is quite pitiful. Even though you are a useless loser, you are still his godfather." Lynn took out an envelope from his pocket and weighed it. "Remus, maybe you can step aside for a while."

"Okay, you guys chat, I'll wait outside." Lupin immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

"What is this?" Sirius asked with alarm.

"This is another reason, and it's also the greatest luck you've ever had in your life." Lynn slapped it hard on Sirius, "If someone hadn't asked me to help you once, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess. You have a good brother."

"...!"

Sirius looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope in disbelief, "Rachel Arcadio Byron?! He he he...you...are you saying...! But he doesn't...hasn't already..." His voice became stammering.

"He died at the hands of the mysterious man a long time ago, right?" Lynn looked at him meaningfully. "You'd better practice your brain blocking skills again, so that I won't regret telling you this news."

"But, what's going on? I know he followed you around when you were in school, but didn't you two lose contact a long time ago?! Isn't he with the mysterious man...!"

Sirius's brain crashed.

He didn't understand at all, and his hands holding the envelope were shaking with excitement.

"You just need to remember that your brother is much stronger than you and is still alive." Lin En stood up leisurely and dusted off the non-existent dust on his body. "Here is the letter for you. Remember to burn it after reading it. The rest depends on your performance."

He floated away, leaving Sirius alone, stiff all over.

"Come back to see him in half an hour. I'm going back now." He said softly as he walked up to Lupin.

"I understand." Lupin nodded, his eyes drifting towards the castle. "Where's Dumbledore?"

"It's better not to let him know before the plan is completed, so that some old guy won't die."

The rune symbol lit up, flashed a few times, and then disappeared, which frightened Lupin.

After waiting for a long time, he turned around and went back to the Shrieking Shack, where he saw a calm Sirius and a pile of ashes on the ground.

Chapter 272 Unexpected Visitor

After the unexpected meeting, Sirius Black settled down in the Shrieking Shack.

His anger and madness gradually subsided, replaced by a kind of calmness that would surprise even his old friend Lupin.

Food, medicine, and a tent that was specially sent to him helped him gradually recover his health.

After a week, his skinny body had gained a little more flesh, and his waxy skin had become more rosy.

During this time, Lynn didn't come once. Lupin took over all the responsibilities. He himself taught classes, prepared lessons, provided tutoring, organized activities for the professors' club, and prepared for the most important Halloween stargazers' gathering for him.

This year’s gathering may be particularly important because the news to be announced may be more groundbreaking than the previous achievements themselves.

Everything is running smoothly.

Only one small animal's anxiety was growing day by day.

As long as Sirius doesn't show up, this anxiety will be like a sword hanging over my head, and it will not be eliminated.

Even more heartbreaking than the fact that he has already entered Hogwarts.

Halloween is getting closer.

-----------------

October 10, Sunday.

The little wizards who went to Hogsmeade to spend the weekend began to have fun, enjoying the few good opportunities to leave school and turning the pocket money in their pockets into strange magical tricks, or delicious candies, drinks and various snacks.

Of course, the dating session of the little wizards is also indispensable.

The festival and the Hogsmeade weekend arrived at the same time, which was a double celebration. The whole castle was filled with a cheerful atmosphere - including Harry who was unable to leave the school.

He found his new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and learned a lot from him about dangerous magical creatures, which was something Professor Garcia had started to teach them last semester but had not had time to explain in depth.

During the private tutoring, he also saw Snape who accidentally broke into the staff room. It must be said that the old bat did not look very happy, especially when he looked at Professor Lupin, as if he was on guard against something.

Let’s put the story of the two professors and one troublesome student aside for now.

In the busy castle, the professors were busy decorating the auditorium for the Halloween party. The two younger wizards who could not leave school were running around and playing around. The few older students who did not want to go out were staying in quiet places such as the library, classrooms, and dormitories to read.

Lynn was not idle either. He was still in the office preparing for tonight's speech. In the past half month, he had many reasons for not contacting Sirius, one of which was that he had no time.

Sirius, Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and even Harry were just insignificant figures in his series of plans and work.

The Starlight Magic Technology Group, which is about to be established, and the magic items armed with new technologies that will be sold simultaneously in many European countries with the establishment of the company, will be the highlights of this year's Halloween gathering and the technological prelude to social change.

He had been looking forward to it for a long time, so much so that after seeing off Firenze, Percy and Doris, he returned to the office to think alone and make the final touches.

The morning passed in a flash. After several revisions and careful consideration of words, Lin En, who was always striving for perfection, finally put down his feather pen with satisfaction.

"Just show it to Fei again in the afternoon and it will be fine." He stretched comfortably, stood up and walked towards the reception room.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him through the wall, making his heart skip a beat.

The reason is simple: this image is truly unique.

Phoenix Patronus, Dumbledore's exclusive one.

"I'm sorry to bother with your personal schedule, Lynn. Please come to the principal's office as soon as possible. It's an emergency."

The old man's voice was not as calm and gentle as usual, and there was noise around him, as if someone was talking.

This is not common in the transmission of the Patronus Charm, and the faint noise made Lin En feel a little familiar, but it didn't sound very real.

Looking at the Phoenix Guardian that had not yet dissipated but was hovering beside him, and then looking at the speech in his hand, Lin En thought for a moment, rolled up the parchment, put it away, and walked out slowly.

A moment later, in the principal's office, he saw his long-lost visitor.

His old senior, Newt Scamander, was also a senior who had given him a lot of guidance and help on his wizarding path.

And a witch who looked young but haggard, with most of her body covered in scales.

“Sorry to bother you, Lynn.” Seeing Lynn rushing over, Newt’s gloomy face showed a little smile, “I asked Albus to help find you.”

“In fact, you can just come to me directly.” Lin En looked at him with a complicated expression. “If the principal comes to me, I may not pay attention.”

"Ah? Ha..."

The spirited old man smiled the same way as when he was young, and looked at Dumbledore mockingly.

Dumbledore also seemed helpless, and even the witch next to him relaxed her expression a little. She tried hard to suppress the pain in her body and pursed her lips slightly.

"Okay, no more jokes. Please tell me what's going on. What's this person's name?"

Seeing that the solemn atmosphere had eased slightly, Lin En also calmed down and looked at the two old men inquiringly.

"Newt, you should say it."

The two looked at each other and Dumbledore said.

"I'll tell you." Newt nodded. "You may not believe it, but the lady next to me is actually about my age. She has been troubled by a very special ancient blood curse for decades. You can call her Nagini."

"Ms. Nagini, what a blessing... Wait?!"

Lin En nodded politely and said hello. Before she could finish her words, she suddenly looked up as if she had seen a ghost, "What did you say her name was?!"

“Nagini?” Newt was confused. “Did you know each other before?”

"No, we don't know each other..."

Lin En's expression became very interesting. He had long forgotten this story, which did not leave a deep impression to begin with.

He forced an ugly smile, "So what is her current situation?"

"She is the bearer of the blood curse, and her ability is to switch freely between human and snake." Newt was a little puzzled, but as this was a matter of great importance, he did not ask too many questions and just said in a deep voice, "The problem now is that the blood curse will cause her to irreversibly transform from human to snake. She has been trying to resist for many years, but now she can no longer hold on, so she asked us for help."

"You mentioned last time that there was an experimental treatment option, and I think Ms. Nagini might be willing to try it." Dumbledore added, which finally cleared up Lynn's confusion.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such an easter egg in the movie he watched in his previous life. Newt came to the school, but he didn't expect that the reason why he came here was this.

Looking at Nagini, whose consciousness was already a little hazy, Lin En felt mixed emotions.

Aurelius Dumbledore's best friend.

A warrior who stood up to Grindelwald.

And...Voldemort's last Horcrux.

Each identity made him think twice, especially the last one.

There is no doubt that she is not a Horcrux created by Voldemort now, and the Dark Lord has a special liking for the number 7.

This means...if Nagini survived as a human, or even if she hadn't met Voldemort, history would have been drastically rewritten.

Unless... unless he activates a key trump card.

This made him a little conflicted, and his brows were unconsciously locked together.

"Lynn?" Newt asked softly, "Does this treatment plan feel burdensome to you?" He was still as considerate and thoughtful as he was when he was young.

“No, it won’t be a burden.” It was difficult for Lin En to say no to his senior. He made the decision in just a few seconds. “Please wait for me for a moment. I’ll be back soon. Then we’ll go to the school hospital to check her current physical condition. You can wait for me there.”

This is a matter of life and death. Nagini's condition is like a candle in the wind and there is no time to delay.

It's not his style to stand by and watch someone in need.

Chapter 273 The Origin of the Blood Curse

Birmingham, Children's Welfare Home, Basement Hall.

The stargazers, who were gradually filling up the room, were talking among themselves.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening and the semiannual grand gathering was about to begin, but they had not yet seen Lin En, the protagonist of the night, which was extremely unusual.

This has never happened before.

This inevitably caused everyone's speculation and concern, especially in the context of Amanda being missing from Round Table No. 1.

Amid the uproar, Euphemia walked up to the podium holding a roll of parchment, stood behind the podium that was originally scheduled to be used after the rally, and cleared her throat.

"Please keep quiet, everyone."

The voices from the audience immediately disappeared, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

She looked around calmly, "Originally, Lin En and I planned to give everyone a report on the preparations for the Magic Technology Group that we mentioned at the annual meeting. Unfortunately, just before we set off, Lin En encountered some problems and was temporarily unable to get away, so he asked me to complete it on his behalf."

After that, she spread out the parchment and put it away, and said loudly: "In order to avoid everyone's worries, the reporting time will be moved up to before the banquet begins."

"Now, please note that all partners who have contacted us in advance, the official establishment date of the UK headquarters is scheduled to be December 12 of this year. All related products will be sold simultaneously in 24 countries including the UK, France, Italy, and Spain, including the Starlight Type Magic Communicator."

"To this end, I hope that the departments responsible for mass production, logistics and sales will strictly follow the planned schedule and keep in touch with me at any time to ensure that no unexpected situations occur."

"In addition, Lin En has entrusted me to explain to everyone the use and distribution of various new equipment. It mainly includes..."

She introduced each situation in a clear and organized manner, her style was completely different from Lin En's, like the control center of the Stargazer Organization's sophisticated machine, faithfully executing the plan.

The stargazers from all over the world are like parts of the machine, each with their own division of labor, and they all work in an orderly manner under her command.

It just lacks the cheerful atmosphere of the past.
