I swung a sword at Hogwarts

The moonlight lengthened their shadows, and Lupin was thankful that it wasn't a full moon, or else the neighborhood would have been deserted.

Old Jack stopped under a tree.

Lupin looked at the tree and saw many scratches and impact marks on it, which were the scars caused by werewolves killing each other.

Fenrir likes to let two werewolves fight each other, just like raising a Gu, to cultivate a powerful werewolf.

But now, under the big tree that symbolizes blood, there is a group of people gathered.

Among them are old, young, and some with scars on their faces and physical disabilities.

They are all werewolves, the little werewolf is at home, while they are playing chess outside.

"Damn it, I lost again."

"Haha, can you do it?"

"Everyone used to survive in the wild. Where did you learn wizard chess?"

"Hehe, I learned it when I was a kid, but I haven't touched it since I was bitten. If it weren't for Lord Silverhand, I'm afraid I would never be able to sit down and play chess in my life."

The speaker was a middle-aged werewolf with scars all over his face.

Lupin recognized him. He used to be one of Fenrir's men. He was brave and fierce, and the scars on his body were left by his frequent madness.

Opposite him was a middle-aged werewolf with a Mediterranean hairstyle. He sighed and said, "Yeah, I don't even dare to imagine such a life. In the past, I just wanted to survive and never dared to ask for extravagant life."

The werewolves, who were at the bottom of the wizarding society, all resonated with the situation. They couldn't even find a job before, or if they did, they would be fired after their identities as werewolves were discovered.

It usually takes months, or even years, to get a chance.

The life of an ordinary person is an unattainable dream for werewolves.

They were excluded and driven away maliciously time and time again.

Some will exile themselves to the wild and return to the forest, while others will join Fenrir with resentment towards the wizarding society.

They have no other way out, not even school to go to.

Lupin understood this point deeply.

Lupin does not do well in society, but he is the best among werewolves.

At least he still had the opportunity to receive a complete education after becoming a werewolf.

He excelled at Hogwarts and became a Gryffindor prefect.

But so what?

After entering society, he is still the least popular one.

Even a guy who is more mediocre than him, or even full of problems, can live an easier life than him and find a job.

Lupin wandered for a long time after Voldemort's fall, and he needed to make sure that he would not hurt others after becoming a werewolf.

"Well now, thanks to Sir Johnny Silverhand, I can get paid in the field I love."

The scarred werewolf's face suddenly became gloomy and his expression was filled with joy and gratitude.

He is now a professional wizard chess player. He signed up for a competition last year and achieved a good result. Although the prize money is not much, it is enough for him to spend, and he can save enough money for a bottle of wolfsbane potion every month.

"Mr. Johnny Silverhand has given me a brand new life. I no longer have to endure strange looks in the community."

The Mediterranean werewolf was also grateful from the bottom of his heart, and the people around him also began to talk about it.

"I've been wandering for seven years, and only in Knockturn Alley was I not prejudiced and received my first salary." The werewolf with sunken cheeks shed tears.

"I like reading books, and I got a job in a bookstore. For the first time, they didn't think I would tear the books in the store into pieces." The young man with metal-framed glasses was very emotional.

"My lover and I have known each other for ten years. If it weren't for the Little Wizard Foundation founded by Lord Johnny Silverhand, I'm afraid I would never have given birth to a child. This world is too bitter, and I don't want my children to suffer in the same way." The couple smiled at each other with deep love.

More and more people are getting involved, including families adopting a little werewolf and parents who come here because their children have turned into werewolves.

There are young people who look miserable at an age when they should be full of vigor and vitality, and there are girls who should be loved but are cursed.

They are all people who have regained their lives under the care of the werewolf community or Johnny Silverhand.

Before the Silver Hand flag was hung, they just wanted to live, and some even didn't want to live.

But now, they all feel full of hope, as if they have come into the world for the first time and are accepting kindness.

Lupine was silent.

Old Jack said calmly, "You see, the dangerous wizard you mentioned is our savior. He may not have a glorious and great image like Dumbledore, but he has indeed changed our destiny."

"Dumbledore is on a pedestal. He may not discriminate against werewolves, but he never wanted to change us."

“Sir Johnny Silverhand is real, and he drives away those with bad intentions for us.

He built schools for us so that werewolves could also receive an education.

He encourages werewolves to start their own businesses, and the Little Wizard Fund will always leave a bottle of wolfsbane potion for the little werewolves for free.

These are the real things that are in front of us.”

Old Jack looked at Lupin and said with the wisdom of an old man, "Remus, the whole world can betray Sir Johnny Silverhand, but we cannot. Werewolves cannot betray Sir Johnny Silverhand, even if the You-Know-Who will kill us, we will not do it."

This was told to Lupin as an elder and also a friend.

Old Jack is not lacking in wisdom. Even though he has never been to school, he has extraordinary foresight.

He had lived through the Voldemort period, and it had been a difficult time.

He once fantasized that Voldemort might change the situation of werewolves.

But he was wrong. Not only would Voldemort not change the werewolves, but he would turn them into killing machines.

Not Voldemort, not Dumbledore.

They were too high up to see the werewolves at the bottom.

"We already have our own savior, and we don't need someone else to create one for us."

So, Old Jack finally said: "Remus, we have seen the sun, received warm touches, and tasted milk. We don't want to return to the dark valley, even if it means death."

His words are ordinary.

But it was deafening and enlightening.

A voice sounded in Lupin's mind, Remus, put away your arrogance, they don't need to be saved.

They are already in the light.

...

Chapter 265 Old Batty and Election

John had not thought much about Old Jack, and he had never imagined that what he did would make Old Jack a die-hard fan.

Maybe his ideas are different from others.

Dumbledore is a pure-blood, and even though he has no prejudice against any wizard, he still has that hint of arrogance in his bones.

Even he himself didn't realize his superior attitude towards the wizarding world.

According to the Celestial Empire, this can be considered as inaction.

All he cared about were matters concerning the survival of the wizarding world.

Those 'little things' were not something Dumbledore could care about.

Oh, right.

Except Harry Potter.

Voldemort was the product of a love potion and was born without any understanding of love. He was more concerned with establishing his prestige through fear.

This requires constant killing to establish his authority, and he is destined to not be able to feel the feelings of ordinary people.

As for the savior of the wizarding world, although Harry grew up in a Muggle society, from the moment he came into contact with magic, he had already leaned towards wizards.

Because magic is the only thing in the world that can give him a sense of security, and this sense of security is irreplaceable.

He gained everything he had after entering the magical world.

There is endless wealth in Gringotts.

A respected savior title.

A close friend in magic school.

A kind and gentle elder.

He actually enjoyed it all, to the point that being in Muggle society felt like a confinement to him.

Like when Mr. Weasley went to pick up Harry, the Weasleys were a family that was friendly to Muggles, but they also destroyed half of the Dursleys' living room.

Arrogance exists without knowing it.

For werewolves, the savior is a name that can be heard frequently, Dumbledore is an untouchable person, and Voldemort is a person with evil intentions.

Only Johnny Silverhand put the changes in front of him, making Old Jack sincerely believe that he was the savior.

No matter whether it was a deliberate show or just a casual display of wealth to him.

None of this matters. The things are there, and that is the best evidence.

Lupin kept his promise and left after the evening.

John is busy with old Batty's election, and he needs to get enough votes for old Batty.

The best way is to give money.

Spending real money is simple and crude, but practical.

The position of Minister of Magic is too far away for ordinary people, and the immediate benefits are more real.

With John's promotion, old Batty's votes soared.

Old Batty's speech level is very bad, John finds the famous nonsense master, and Lockhart gives him extra lessons.

This kind of election method commonly used by Western Muggles directly confused the simple-minded wizards.

Watching old Batty's passionate speech on the stage and giving away free eggs, the pie he painted was so big and round that many people were left wanting more.

For example, Batty Sr. will step up efforts to combat illegal poaching of magical animals in the wild.

Old Batty promised that after taking office, he would lead the local magic community to lead other countries.

Local manufacturing will be reused and there will be a willingness to reduce or exempt taxes on alcohol in certain areas.

We will strive to combat the Death Eaters within three years and completely eliminate them within five years.

They drew dozens of big pie in a row, and the local wizards were excited.

Even John was worried about old Batty. It's okay for Lockhart, the writer, to brag, but you, a man who does real work, dare to brag.

With the help of real money and a big pie, Old Batty successfully defeated Amelia by more than one level.

During that time, the low pressure from Amelia made Pierce be careful not to be caught.

Not only that, Amelia's depression was more due to the denigration of her in the newspapers.

If Amelia makes the slightest mistake, she will be attacked mercilessly.

For example, she just asked someone to help her get a glass of water.

The next day’s newspaper would report “Three Inhumane Things That Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Did When She Treated Her Subordinates Harshly”.

It is apparently a small matter, but it can develop into an incident of bullying in the workplace.

Once she simply didn't smile during a meeting with old Batty, and the newspapers said she was expressing dissatisfaction with the election and was therefore resentful.

Anyway, the image of being narrow-minded and dictatorial is all attributed to her.

This made Amelia very angry and helpless.

Because people really believed it.

Her vote barely moved anymore.

Of course, it was John who was behind all this.

He asked Rita to write an article in the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet wanted to stop it.
