Chapter 540: Scattering Hearts
In recent days, Ron has been being treated in the hospital, and both Harry and Ginny are busy training. Hermione seemed a little lonely in this situation, after all, she was the only one in school and her best friend was Ginny, and now Ginny was very busy for the game, and Hermione almost didn't meet her. So when he went to the Forbidden Forest to treat the werewolves the following Saturday, Ryan took Hermione to the Forbidden Forest to relax.
"Ah, it feels so good to breathe in the fresh air. Hermione, who was running briskly like a fawn among the roots and rubble of the trees in the Forbidden Forest. "Now the atmosphere in the castle is getting more and more oppressive, it feels more and more like a prison, and it feels really good to come out and go around in this situation. β
"That's right. Hermione, who was running ahead, suddenly stopped, stood firmly on a mossy boulder, turned around and asked. "The first two attacks always felt strange, and I always felt that there was a strange connection between them that I didn't expect. β
Ryan couldn't think of anything in common between the two attacks other than Malfoy's doing, so he said, "I can't think of anything in common between the two attacks other than that the attackers might be the same? β
"Let me think about it. Hermione thought for a few minutes after Ryan and suddenly said. "By the way, do you know where that bottle of wine came from?"
"The bottle?" Ryan thought for a moment, realizing that he really didn't know where the bottle came from. However, it will not be too difficult to find the origin of the wine, after all, the wizarding world is so big, there are not many places where the wine can be produced. In this case, it is also a good way to investigate the origin of sake. "I don't know, but I'll be able to ask Slughorn when I get back. As a person who is good at enjoyment, if he can call it a good wine, he must know where that bottle of wine comes from. β
Soon they reached the vicinity of the centaur village, and it was Mr. Wolf who came out to greet them. After a few pleasantries, Ryan noticed that Wolf seemed to have something to say embarrassed, so he crouched down and asked. "If you have any problems, you can tell me, maybe I can help you. β
"That...... That ......," said Wolf, who had plucked up his courage after a long time of hesitation. "Can you ask your friends to take me to them? I find them to be my fellow citizens, though not quite like meβ"
"Of course, it's good that you know some of your compatriots, and I think Lupin and they'll welcome you, too. But did you tell Aunt Betty about that?" asked Ryan.
"Of course I said it beforehand. Wolf nodded, "And this time I went out to play there for half a month to get to know my compatriots, and I will come back later." β
"I thought you were going to move in. Ryan said. "After all, you're a werewolf, and it's very normal to live with your fellow citizens. β
"I've thought about it too. Wolf said. "After discovering so many kind compatriots, I also thought about moving in. But after thinking about it, I realized that the Forbidden Forest is my home, so this time I should visit my relatives and make a few friends by the way. You know, the horses are a little too silent, and I'd have a hard time finding someone to talk to other than Aunt Betty. β
"Then I wish you success in making new friends this time!" Ryan said, and Hermione and Wolf went to his place as a guest, while Ryan went to the back of the village to begin healing the new werewolves.
"Now I have a total of 39 werewolves in the base, which is basically at the limit. The rest are werewolves who take pleasure in killing, stealing, and robbing. Lupin said as Ryan finished his treatment break. This time it's still two werewolves, and Ryan has told them since Christmas that his level has increased and that he can now heal two werewolves at once.
"Now you have to be prepared, I'm afraid that the mysterious people will come and attack you, after all, you are now estimated to be the largest werewolf colony in all of Europe. Ryan earnestly admonished.
"We're ready. Lupin nodded solemnly. "Those three former Aurors began to train each and every one of us, and we all studied very seriously, one could even say at any time. Because now, you have given us a home, a goal for which we are willing to fight.
"I have the ability, so I naturally did it. You don't need to thank me so much, I believe that others are able and willing to help you. I'm not as great as you say. Ryan said, but Lupin interrupted his modesty. "But over the years, you're the only one who has actually done something for werewolves. This is very important to us, because your act of kindness shows us that there are people who care about werewolves and are willing to put a lot of effort into it, in addition to our relatives and friends. β
"That's an exaggeration. Ryan was even a little embarrassed by the compliment, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, there is a special werewolf wolf in the centaur village, and he wants to go to see you." β
"Special werewolves?" Lupin asked with some puzzlement, maybe because there were too few werewolves in Wolfe's form, and even Lupin had never heard of this before he came into contact with a large number of werewolves.
"That'sβ" Ryan explained in a whisper. Lupin was surprised when he heard this, because most of the werewolves gathered there were acquired werewolves, and occasionally there were individual natural werewolves. But I had never heard of the existence of a special werewolf like Wolf.
"Rest assured, we will take care of this compatriot. Lupin nodded in agreement, "Whether he can become a human or not, he is our compatriot." β
"Thank you then. Ryan said with a smile, and then asked his crab patronus to pass the news to Wolf, and soon Wolf and Hermione received the news and ran over, carrying a blue cloth bag on Wolf's back.
"Can I go on a trip?" exclaimed Wolf excitedly, and Ryan recognized the pocket on Wolf's back as a spare pocket he had given Hermione earlier.
"He likes to study more than most of my classmates in our college. Hermione did admire Wolf, even comparing him to the others. "If Harry and Ron had studied like this, they would have both gotten straight O grades in their last exam. β
It seems that now Hermione's impression of Harry's two biggest labels is scum, but to be honest, whether this scumbag is a scumbag or not depends on who he compares with, and being able to take Aurors' professional courses can prove that Harry and Ron's academic level is not bad, but it is indeed a little worse than Ryan and Hermione, who are out-and-out scholars. In this case, Hermione can think that Wolf is better than the two, which shows how hard Wolf is in his studies. Ryan felt that Wolf was likely to become the wise man among werewolves in the future.
After watching Lupin and his companions leave with Wolf, Ryan and Hermione quietly return to the school as well. The rest of the day, in addition to researching the current subject, they tried to figure out where the wine they had drunk at Slughorn's that day was produced.
The question wasn't too complicated, and Ryan asked Professor Slughorn bluntly after Potions class the next day.
"Did you say the wine that day?" Slughorn's expression turned serious after hearing Ryan's question, It must have been a top oak barrel of maturing mead made by Madame Rosmerta, I have been drinking her for 20 years, and even a sniff of it I can be sure that it came from the Three Broomsticks Bar, and that it was the finest of Madame Rosmerta's own hand, and only then would I mix a bottle of unsolicited wine into my collection, and if it was made somewhere else, I would not have confused it with my original wine. β
"Thank you, Professor, I think I know what the problem is. With that, Ryan bowed and left.
