Chapter 361: Lupin's Warning (Part 1)
"You're ......," Remus-Lupin couldn't help but be stunned.
He felt a little familiar with the boy in front of him, as if he had been teaching a student in his first year at Hogwarts...... It's just that for a while, he can't say the other party's name.
"Hello, Professor Lupin. Jon replied, "I'm Jon Hart." ”
"Oh yes...... Jon Hart ......" Lupin reacted immediately, and said very quickly, "Mr. Hart, why are you here...... Hurry up and leave with your friends, it will be dangerous here...... Wait a minute...... Also, why do you have the Order of the Phoenix mark on your arm?"
As he spoke, Lupin grabbed Jon's right arm.
"The Mark of the Order of the Phoenix?" Jon couldn't help but be stunned.
He simply drew it on his arm based on the imprint Fawkes had left on his shoulder, even though it was dim...... Unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually used it as a symbol of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Yes...... The mark of our contact is very private...... Aside from Dumbledore, only me, Alasto, Kingsley, and a few others knew. Lupin looked at Jon's arm and said with a solemn expression.
"Because I'm Professor Dumbledore's man. Jon said unhurriedly, "Professor Lupin, is there anything you need help with?"
Lupin couldn't help but glance Jon up and down, seemingly skeptical and hesitant at the same time......
"The people you're with are werewolves, aren't they...... The one at the head is Fenrir Greyback, the trusted subordinate of the mysterious man. Jon went on to explain, "Professor Dumbledore sent you undercover for this group of werewolves who work for the Mysteries...... Don't worry, Professor Lupin, you can trust me!"
Lupin's last suspicions seemed to be dispelled, but he still said with a grim face, "Hart, you must get out of here quickly...... In a few hours, it's going to be very, very dangerous!"
......
"Leave...... Danger?" Now it was Jon's turn to be stunned, and he muttered, "It's not a full moon night...... The next full moon night should be more than twenty days before the ......"
If it's not a full moon night, the threat of the werewolves will be greatly reduced...... Although they are all wizards, most of them have not received a good wizarding education, and their magic skills are uneven, and they may not be able to cause much damage. Of course, once the night of the full moon is in, when they become beasts, it will be very, very terrifying.
"It's not about the werewolves, it's about the vampires of Transylvania. Lupin said at a very fast pace, "Those monsters were cursed by Voldemort fifty years ago, so they couldn't suck human blood, so they disappeared for so many years...... But yesterday Fenrir Greyback came here and lifted the curse on Voldemort and the vampires......"
"Lifted the curse?" Jon didn't doubt the veracity of Lupin's words, "So, at what cost?"
"The price...... The price is that these Transylvanian vampires have sworn to be Voldemort's servants and serve him!" Lupin frowned and said, "The curse has been lifted by Fenrir Greyback...... Once night falls tonight, the vampires will reappear, and the Muggles that are active here will be the best food to restore their strength, and they will surely turn some Muggles into their compatriots and reproduce ......"
"How many vampires are there?" Jon's face turned solemn.
"I don't know, there are at least a hundred ......" Lupin sighed: "They have been holding in the ground for so many years, and there will definitely be more by tonight...... Damn Fenrir Greyback, he was so tight-mouthed that he didn't know that until a few dozen minutes ago he told us all the orders Voldemort gave him...... And I'll have to go back right now, or I'll arouse his suspicions!"
"Get out of here, Hart...... With dozens of werewolves and over a hundred vampires, that's not something you can deal with. Lupin warned, "If you can, warn the Romanian Ministry of Magic, although I'm not sure they'll believe me, the werewolf...... Also, warn Professor Dumbledore that at least a hundred vampires will land in England on the same day to serve Voldemort!"
"Are these vampires going to England?" Jon's face darkened.
"Yes...... They'll feast and breed at Dracula's castle tonight......" Lupin shook his head helplessly: "After causing an uproar, they will inevitably leave here and fly in the night, but nothing can catch up with them, I hope the Ministry of Magic can think of a good way to deal with them, more than a hundred uncontrolled vampires, it will be a disaster......"
......
Jon looked down and looked at his watch.
It's too late.
In a few hours, it will be dark, and once it does, the vampire's killing feast will probably begin.
Jon sighed as he remembered the somewhat dim phoenix mark on his shoulder...... Transylvania and Scotland are thousands of kilometers away, and even the most powerful Apparition Shifters can't support this journey, and even if he summons Fawkes now, Fawkes won't be able to make it in time.
Albus Dumbledore was the same, he was not an immortal, and it was impossible for him to complete a journey of thousands of kilometers in such a short time...... What's more, there is no way to warn him in time.
As for the Ministry of Magic on the Romanian side, Jon and Lupin were in the same position, feeling that they were a foreign traveler and were unlikely to convince them...... Especially in Romania, where vampires have disappeared for fifty years. Once he is in a state of strife, it will take a while, and I am afraid that the situation here will be irreparable, not to mention, he does not know how to contact the Romanian Ministry of Magic at all.
It seems that the situation is more urgent than I thought.
So what do you do?
Do Lupin's advice and turn around and go, that way once the vampires leave Transylvania, it will be quite difficult to hunt them down and get their teeth. Without the vampire's teeth as tokens, the Albanian wizards in Kruja would not have given their own branches to the Tree of Souls...... You know, Astoria won't have much time left.
Stay here and deal with them tonight?
Although vampires are very vulnerable to wizards, they are not as strong as Voldemort fifty years ago...... With more than a hundred vampires and dozens of werewolves to help, such a huge lineup is really tough, and I am afraid that it will cost you your own life.
Gotta figure it out...... Think of a way!
