Chapter 419: Encounter with Lupin
The famous Padifu Tea House is small in space, and the fire in the room is very hot. So after pushing the door open and entering, Ryan found that there was some fog in the place. At the same time, the whole teahouse is in a cute style, as far as the eye can see, everything is decorated with frills or bows.
And because it's Valentine's Day, the teahouse also has a special Valentine's Day decoration: golden cherubs fly above each small round table, occasionally sprinkling pink confetti on the people below.
"The style here, well, seems to be a little different from what I thought. Hermione looked a little confused, and indeed there might be something that didn't quite suit her style. I think those seniors just recommended a suitable place for Hermione to go for Valentine's Day, but they didn't take into account her hobbies.
"Then let's go to three brooms. Ryan suggested that after all, dating should be a place where everyone can relax. So before the fat, glossy black Lady Lady Pardiff squeezed through the two tables, they quickly opened the door and exited the teahouse.
At the door, it was already raining heavily, and the two men put their robes on their heads and rushed out quickly, and soon rushed to the door of the three brooms. After asking for two cups of hot butterbeer, Ryan took the cups to a round table in the corner.
"Ah, it feels so much better. That store just now really made me a little uncomfortable. Hermione said with satisfaction after taking a long sip of warm butterbeer, when suddenly she turned her head to look at the position by the door. "Why are they here?"
"Who?" Ryan turned to look at the doorway. As a result, a young witch with bubble gum-like pink hair walked in with another middle-aged male witch.
"Professor Lupin, Tonks, here. Ryan and Hermione greeted at the same time, and Lupin, who had just entered the door, saw Ryan and walked over. When they got closer, Ryan realized that Tonks had taken Lupin's hand. It seems that their relationship started earlier than expected.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Tonks waved his hand enthusiastically, she was one of the few young women in the Order of the Phoenix during the summer vacation, and she had a good relationship with Ginny and Hermione. "Why are you two here, not sitting at Madame Pardeff's teahouse?"
"Just went, but the atmosphere there was a little unsuitable for the two of us. Ryan shrugged his shoulders with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Ah, the same way I felt back then, I felt that the atmosphere there was so awkward. Tonks laughed.
"Lupin, what have you been up to lately?" Ryan whispered to Lupin as Hermione and Tonks got together to talk about some girls.
"I've been in contact with some werewolves lately. Lupin whispered after looking around and no one noticing the place. "Thank you and the Weasley twins for helping me get some of the milder werewolves I know a good job in your shop. They are now working on the same farm that you bought in northern Norway a while ago, producing some of the raw materials that you need. The place was really nice, away from the crowds and we didn't have to worry about hurting innocent people. And it can also provide us with a good opportunity to make a living. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Ryan said. "I think the most important way to stop werewolves from falling over to the side of the mystery man is to give them a normal job so that they can support themselves. Otherwise, the werewolves who are hungry and cold will inevitably follow the mysterious people who can make them live a normal life. Not to mention that the laws against werewolves in the wizarding world can hardly be said to be just. ”
"You're right. Lupin nodded in agreement. "Seriously, not all werewolves are evil, and it can even be said that most werewolves are just like ordinary people who just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life. It's a pity that the anti-werewolf law that Umbridge drafted two years ago forced them to take the risk. ”
"I understand, after all, it's about survival. Ryan nodded solemnly. "So I'd rather cut my profits than build that farm in the north of Norway, and if there were more employees on the farm, there would be one less terrorist who would throw themselves into the mystery man. ”
The conversation lowered the mood between the two, but soon Lupin thought of something more uplifting. "You know, I've been working on those werewolves lately and I've found it a lot easier than I was during the last war. ”
"Why is that?" Ryan asked curiously, as it was obvious that Voldemort had more chips to draw, and most werewolves had a darker mentality because they had been discriminated against for a long time. How could it be easier to pull together in this situation.
"You know about the mysterious disappearance of the giant a while ago. Looking at Ryan, he nodded in acknowledgment, and Lupin continued. "This incident, coupled with the fact that when you were kidnapped before, the murder of the Cepes family in Tsepes Castle had a very big impact on the side of the dark creatures. ”
At this point, Lupin looked warily left and right again, and then continued. "Now both werewolves and vampires believe that Dumbledore has changed his style in the space of a few decades. They had been rumored that Dumbledore would not be as merciful as he had been in the last war, but would cleanse all the dark creatures that had fallen to Voldemort's side. So in this case, not many dark creatures are willing to risk their lives to fall definitively to Voldemort. ”
"Seriously, if I didn't know Dumbledore's personality, I would have been scared. The last time the European wizarding world killed dozens of people in one fell swoop was hundreds of years ago, not to mention the direct extermination of an ancient vampire clan and the elimination of almost all European giants. Now Dumbledore has become a man even more terrifying than Voldemort in the mouths of those dark creatures. ”
"How can they be sure it's Dumbledore?" Ryan knew it was because of him, but for safety reasons he asked the dark creatures why they thought Dumbledore was responsible.
"First, the vampires and giants who were killed were clearly offended by Dumbledore, such as the group of vampires who kidnapped the students of Hogwarts and collaborated with Voldemort. The giants also chose to fall to Voldemort after driving away Dumbledore's emissary. Second, Dumbledore is the only person in this world who has the strength to do this kind of thing in a very short time. Lupin also looked a little confused. "But the problem is that Dumbledore really didn't do it, at least when the vampires were eliminated, Headmaster Dumbledore was still looking for someone at Hogwarts. ”
"But anyway, at least for now, the situation is in our favor. Ryan interrupted Lupin, "Whoever did it, we're going to try to treat each other as friendly as we can." Because we are already at a disadvantage when facing the mysterious people, we really can't afford to take the risk of setting up another enemy. ”
"You're right. Lupin drank the butterbeer in front of him. "It's that I think too much, and not everything is better if you think about it more. ”
"By the way, Tonks, what's going on?" Ryan asked with a smile.
"Aren't I usually working on new products in the house behind your shop? Tonks often comes to visit me, and sometimes he drinks afternoon tea with me, and then we cook. Lupin was a little embarrassed to say this.
"It's just cooked. Ryan asked with a smile.
"You know I'm a werewolf, and there are things I shouldn't be asking for. Lupin smiled wryly. "She should marry a young and handsome Auror, not a werewolf of my age. ”
Just when Lupin felt sorry for himself, he suddenly heard Ryan say something like this: "I said Professor Lupin, would you like to cooperate with me to do an experiment, I want to study the problem of werewolves recently." ”
