Chapter 122: Werewolf Riot
Evan suddenly realized that the werewolf Fenrir Greyback and the Dark Wizard said that the person who paid them Golden Galleon was Lucius Malfoy.
As a former Death Eater, Lucius must have known those guys, and he was the only one who had paid so much money to rally them.
Now the question is, what exactly does he want to do?
Evan didn't see any benefit to the Malfoys in doing this, and if it was finally found out that he was behind it, Lucius would get into big trouble.
Something is wrong, there must be something in this that I don't know.
Evan hurriedly looked at Dumbledore beside him, his face so calm that he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Something does happen, but what does it have to do with you?" Dumbledore's blazing blue eyes kept on Lucius.
"It doesn't have anything to do with me, but it has a lot to do with the unpleasant news I brought. Malfoy said lazily, "It's terrible, you probably haven't realized what's going on." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Fudge asked subconsciously, twisting his body and feeling a hint of unease.
"Werewolf riot!" Lucius said slowly, he said shocking words in a calm tone, "At the same time that Hogsmeade was attacked by werewolves, there were also many attacks on Muggle cities, and tonight, on this unfortunate full moon night, the werewolves spontaneously gathered to attack Muggles, and the exact casualty count is still being counted, but at the time of my arrival, it is said that more than thirty bitten Muggles have been rushed to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for treatment. ”
"What?!" Fudge's eyes widened suddenly, his face instantly pale, "Are you kidding, Lucius, how could there be a werewolf attack?
"This is my personal intelligence source, Minister!" Lucius continued with a squint of eyes, "the source is very reliable, and I think it won't be long before the Ministry reports back to you the details." ”
"This can't be, all werewolves are under the control of the werewolf registry office, they can't"
Fudge stopped suddenly, and just an hour earlier, under his nose, there had been a werewolf attack.
When Evan and Hermione were talking about this just now, he thought it was the two children talking nonsense, and he instinctively didn't want to believe that this kind of thing happened.
But now, Lucius Malfoy has also told him about it, the werewolves are not just plotting something, the attack has already happened!
Not just one, two isolated attacks, but a werewolf riot!
How Fudge wished someone had told him that it was April Fool's Day, he glanced at Lucius again, making sure that the other party was not joking, and the only remaining illusions in his heart were shattered in an instant.
Whether he likes it or not, a massive werewolf attack has indeed broken out!
The room was eerily quiet, no one spoke, and everyone was immersed in the terrible news that Lucius Malfoy had brought.
Evan lay in bed, his brain racing.
He was analyzing the whole thing in the light of the information he had gotten, what good would Lucius Malfoy do if he summoned these werewolves to launch a massive attack on the Muggles?
Obviously, Lucius's most pressing idea right now is to get Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, and how does triggering a werewolf revolt help with this?
Wait, werewolves, Hogwarts, Professor Lupin is a werewolf!
It suddenly occurred to Evan that Lucius Malfoy must know the identity of Professor Lupin, right?!
However, this is not to be said, except for him, everyone present knows that Professor Lupin is a werewolf, and when Professor Lupin was hired as a teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Dumbledore told the other professors and Fudge about this, and asked the Ministry of Magic to agree.
Even if they didn't trust Lupin, Professor Lupin was not involved in the Werewolf attack on Muggles.
In fact, he didn't hurt anyone, he was safe, and there was no point in Lucius doing these things.
If he revealed Professor Lupin's identity, he would at most drive Lupin out of the school, and he would not implicate Dumbledore at all.
Unless, he can prove that Professor Lupin was also involved in the werewolf riot.
Evan glanced at Lucius, a smug, cold smile on his face, and an eerie smile on Snape's face beside him.
Just as Evan was about to say something, a large gray owl suddenly flew in through the window, a messenger from the Ministry of Magic, and flew straight to Fudge's side.
Fudge hurriedly took the letter from the owl's mouth, and he opened the envelope and read it carefully, and it was evident from his face that it was saying that it was bad.
"Dear Lucius, what you said has been verified, and there is indeed a massive werewolf riot. Fudge's voice was not loud, but it was unusually loud in the quiet room, and he turned his head to look at Dumbledore, and said with a panicked expression, "I'm sorry, Albus! I have to rush back to the Department as soon as possible to deal with this emergency, if I can, I hope you can."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.
The door to the ward was opened again, and this time it was Percy who rushed in, his face panicked and looked frightened.
"No, no, Professor!" Percy gasped and looked at Dumbledore anxiously, his voice trembling because he was so excited, "Go over and take a look, there's a werewolf in the castle, it's attacking the students!"
Hearing his words, everyone held their breath and looked at Percy in surprise, and the atmosphere in the ward was solemn to the extreme.
Evan noticed that Lucius Malfoy's face was a triumphant expression that couldn't be suppressed, and it flashed.
Snape, who was standing to the side, was slightly surprised, and then put back on that unsettling sneer
An hour ago, Harry was sitting alone in the auditorium.
Ron didn't know where he went, he hadn't seen each other all afternoon, and as for Evan and Hermione, he had heard Fred and George say that they had gone to Hogsmeade, and he didn't know what had been delayed, and he hadn't come back yet.
Colin and Ginny had just come over and invited him to come and sit together, but Harry turned them down.
He just wanted to be alone, his head was a mess, all he was thinking about this morning, about what Professor Lupin had told him this morning, about his parents. Harry couldn't remember how he had been dragged from Professor Lupin's office back to the Gryffindor common room, or how he had been dragged from his bedroom into the auditorium.
All he knew was that he didn't fit in with the cheerful atmosphere around him, and everyone in the auditorium was happily discussing the Christmas holiday arrangements except for him.
Harry was indifferent to this, and even the news from the Hufflepuff table that Evan and Hermione were dating and dating in Hogsmeade did not distract him.
He stared blankly at the plate in front of him, thinking about his parents and Sirius Black.
