Chapter 207: Closing the Net
"Snape!"
"You!"
Clenching the wand in the palm of his hand, Lupin's chest rose and fell violently at this time, and he really wanted to use the killing curse to kill the man in front of him, who was very likely to insult him countless times.
But seeing that Snape still looked fearless, even if he was pointed at with a wand, he could still provoke while sneering, Lupin couldn't help but freeze in place for a while, only to feel that the sourness between his nose was unbearable.
About a few minutes ago.
When he woke up in Snape's office, Lupin was actually completely confused.
He only vaguely remembered that he was going to recruit the last werewolf employees for the distillery before falling into a coma, and then stayed at the distillery to continue his sleepy work.
Who knows, during the recruitment of the last werewolf employees for the distillery, a wizard shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared, and simply used magic to sketch a mysterious symbol, and then he involuntarily slowly closed his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes again.
Ooh!
Sandbag-sized fist to understand?
Seeing that the person who attacked with his fist was Snape, Lu Pinxin said that the two of them did not deal with each other when they were students, and directly grabbed their wands and prepared to launch a counterattack.
Didn't you think that Snape didn't take it seriously at all, as if he recognized that he couldn't do it?
Facts...
Just as Lupin imagined, Snape had indeed eaten him.
If the test subject in front of him were replaced by a wolf, Snape would never be able to take on a posture of doing whatever he wanted, and he would have to take precautions at the first time when the other party pulled out his wand.
However, it was Lupin...
"Hmph..."
With a disdainful snort, Snape ignored the fierceness of Lupin's face and fiddled with the bottles and cans on the table.
It didn't take long.
Just when Lupin felt a little embarrassed, he clenched his teeth, and made up his mind to give Snape some color.
"Hum..."
With a fiery red beam of light appearing, Dumbledore, as a peacemaker, arrived in time and said faintly to Lupin:
"Remus, put down your wand, I think there might be some misunderstanding between you and Severus."
"Misunderstanding?"
Pointing to his red nose, Lupin said indignantly, "Dumbledore, for my nose... You have to give me an account! ”
"Remus, Severus didn't mean to target you, because..."
After explaining to Lupin a little about the birds and the effects of the wolf blood potion on the entire international wizarding community, Dumbledore quickly calmed Lupin, extinguished the anger in his heart, and then asked Snape:
"Severus, is the work on the antidote to the wolf blood potion going well?"
"It didn't go well."
When it came to business, Snape withdrew a slightly disgusted gaze from Lupin and said bluntly: "I have to, the wolf blood potion is a very magical potion, it seems to be evolving all the time, constantly improving itself, so that the antidote I developed can only be used against the most basic wolf blood potion, and it is completely ineffective against the mutated wolf blood potion. ”
"So..."
"Dumbledore, I need more material to study, I don't need that stupid werewolf anymore."
As soon as Snape finished speaking, Lupin glared at him viciously, but he couldn't help it for the sake of the bigger picture.
Instead, Dumbledore sighed deeply, and while realizing why Lupin woke up, he suddenly felt his heart tired.
The state of the international wizarding community is not optimistic.
Just a few days ago, according to reliable information from the French Ministry of Magic, the number of people infected with wolf blood potion in the entire territory of France was less than 10,000, including wizards, squibs, and a huge number of Muggles.
In order to hide the truth of the matter, the Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic are busy every day, and the spell that everyone can use proficiently today is the Oblivion Charm.
In the exchange of information, the French Ministry of Magic was a little interested in asking for support, after all, in the case of insufficient manpower, it was difficult for them to suppress the spread of wolf blood potion.
Outcome...
The British Ministry of Magic was very uncooperative.
The leader was undoubtedly none other than Cornelius Fudge, who was recruited by Grindelwald.
Of course.
For the time being, Dumbledore did not suspect that Cornelius Fudge had taken refuge with his old friend, but subconsciously thought that Cornelius Fudge was making trouble, because the Ministry of Magic would always ask for help from him, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, not the Minister who was actually in charge of the Ministry.
For this reason, all Dumbledore could do was to put down his body and go to Cornelius Fudge countless times to have some kind words, hoping to convince him to think about the overall situation.
What else can you do?
With the Elder Wand (Bone Wand) and Fox with him, intimidating the British Ministry of Magic?
Don't make a fuss!
Dumbledore wasn't foolish, he knew very well that challenging the majesty of the Ministry of Magic would only make things worse.
Thereupon.
After thinking for a while, Dumbledore summoned Fawkes and said to Snape: "Severus, the French Ministry of Magic should be able to provide you with enough materials, please accompany me on a trip to develop an antidote as soon as possible." ”
"Hmm."
Snape nodded lightly and began to sort through the bottles and cans on the table, and the cauldron that had been with him for years.
Lupin was slightly stunned for a moment, and seeing that Dumbledore didn't seem to have any other instructions, he asked in confusion:
"What about me?"
"Remus, you should rest at Hogwarts for a while now, and then continue what you did before you recuperate."
"That.... Oblivion? Lupin continued.
"It may be needed, it may not be needed."
Dumbledore shook his head slightly and sighed, "I hope I'm thinking too much, otherwise there is really his hand behind the wolf blood potion, maybe... We are about to see the smoke of war again. ”
Cease.
Relying on Fawkes's ability, the figures of Dumbledore and Snape disappeared in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were in France.
The other side.
Lupin's unexpected awakening naturally attracted Grindelwald's attention, so he couldn't help but use the distillery mark to contact Louis Dao:
"Louie, that werewolf Dumbledore trusted has woken up, what do you mean?"
"Of course."
Louie stayed at home to take care of the werewolf clone of Jelly, and replied to the message quite in a timely manner: "I know that the wolf blood potion mutates quickly, and Lupin no longer has the value of the "antidote", so I am ready to let him come back and continue to work for our winery." ”
"And then?"
Grindelwald asked with interest, "Are you going to stand on the sidelines and watch the excitement, or are you going to come in and have a fun in person?" ”
"Play?"
I didn't like Grindelwald's words, and Louis frowned and said:
"Mr. Grindelwald, I must warn you that what is in front of us now is not a game, but a war that Bu Niao wants to start with the wolf blood potion!"
"I understand part of your idea, you want to use the fire lit by the bird to burn the whole Muggle world."
"But..."
"Enough is enough!"
"Please don't joke with Muggle lives!"
Apparently hearing a hint of warning from Louie's words, Grindelwald squinted his eyes like a fox and smiled, and then, while contacting Louis, he quietly sent a message to Cornelius Fudge:
"Mr. Minister, it's almost time to close the net."
"Remember..."
"Which pure-blood wizards are our allies, give them a little bit of sweetness, understand?"
