Chapter 56: Werewolf Transfiguration and Animagus
Cobain Yaxley's home was on a coast in the south of England, and he was not from the Holy Twenty-Eight, so he was the only one living in his home for the time being.
The small, solitary house was not far from a Muggle town, and after the magic shield was removed, Calvin could easily see a wooden cottage on the coast.
Calvin glanced at the Aurors behind him, and four Aurors came out of the line and surrounded the four corners of the hut, while another came to the main entrance of the hut and knocked on the door.
"Cobain, are you there?"
No one answered, but a whimper was heard from inside the room.
"Go in and have a look." Anderson commanded.
After trying several lockpicking spells to open the door to Yaxley's house, the young Auror turned to look at Anderson and Calvin with an innocent expression, "I can't open it." ”
The people of the Ministry of Magic are a bunch of rubbish. I had to hand over the task of leading a bunch of garbage as soon as possible, and luckily I already had the right person.
Calvin's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward and kicked the door open.
After careful examination, the Aurors confirmed that Yaxley had escaped, but under Yaxley's bed, they found Pierce Sinix, who had just woken up from a coma and was tied up.
"Chief, Mr. Capet, Hinkenis is here." An Auror invited to pick up Pierce, who twisted like a shrimp.
"Pierce?" Calvin became interested, squinted his eyes and squatted down, looking at this unlucky guy who had been mistaken for the real murderer by himself last night.
"He doesn't seem to be in the right state...... "Sirius, too, recognized the Auror who had arrested him, "it doesn't feel normal." ”
Calvin put on Thestrals' glasses and examined his soul, which was dirty, like a small child scribbling on his soul.
"Of course it's not normal, he's under the Imperius curse." Calvin took off his glasses and pulled Pierce's head up so he could look him in the eye.
The Dementor didn't get anything of value, which was not to be expected by Calvin, after all, the effects of the Imperius Curse on his brain would continue for some time.
Then, Calvin lifted Pierce's left sleeve and saw a new rough tattoo: a large python emerging from the mouth of a dark green skeletal like a tongue.
"Dark Mark of the Devil!" Everyone present exclaimed, "He's a Death Eater!" ”
After the initial panic, the Aurors' mood gradually turned to excitement. They stared at Pierce, who was half-lying on the ground and twitching constantly, with greedy eyes, like a pack of greedy hungry wolves staring at a piece of fat that ran with oil.
"Oh, that's not accurate." Calvin had seen what a real Dark Mark looked like, so he recognized it as a fake at a glance.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the Dark Mark on Lucius's hand was perfect like a work of art, while Pierce's hand was just a shoddy imitation.
Calvin poked the fake Dark Mark with his wand, and there was no trace of magic. The greedy enthusiasm in the eyes of the crowd gradually dissipated.
"But don't be frustrated, I guess even if he's not a Death Eater, he can get a lot of information about the Death Eater from him."
Calvin picked Pierce up from the ground and threw it to Anderson, "Take good care of him, your promotion and salary increase this year will all depend on him." ”
-----------------
Pierce was found, and the Ministry of Magic was over. Calvin and Sirius finally return to their old mansion at 12 Grimmauld Place.
"The young master didn't even know how to stay at home with his poor mother on Halloween, didn't know where to run away, and threw a filthy werewolf at home, defiling this old mansion with a glorious history."
As soon as they entered the house, Calvin and Sirius heard the babbling of old Kreacher.
"Kreacher! Don't do this to my friends, Remus isn't some dirty werewolf! Sirius then shouted.
"Well, Remus is not a filthy werewolf," Kreacher came out of the dark corner and bowed to the two, "Good afternoon, young master, and Mr. Cape. ”
Kreacher then hid in the darkness again, and from his muttering voice, Calvin could tell that he was going to clean Remus's room.
"I thought that after finding your brother, your relationship with him would be a little better." Calvin said.
Sirius shook his head, "He's been raised in a pure-blooded environment since he was a child, how could he possibly change his mind?" ”
"Growing up in the same pure-blood-supremacy environment, weren't you and Andomeda not influenced by these thoughts?"
Sirius smiled awkwardly and led Calvin into the room where Rems was resting.
By this time, Remus had lost his werewolf form, and had become a somewhat emaciated, pale, tired thin man, naked and lying on a fairly clean bed.
Calvin stepped forward to check on him and asked, "Is he really okay?" Yesterday he was poisoned very badly, and all three of them were injured. ”
"Don't forget, he's a werewolf." Sirius shrugged, "When he was in school, he was the least afraid of the four of us to get hurt. ”
Calvin flipped through the thick body hair on Remus's chest and made sure all the wounds had healed, and said, "It seems that his werewolf status did save his life." ”
"Well," Sirius sighed, covering Remus with the covers, "this isn't the first time. He hated his werewolf status at first, but it was also the werewolf physique that saved him again and again. ”
"Perhaps, this time, I can help him get rid of wolf venom."
Calvin had just finished speaking when a faint moan came from the bed beside him.
"Water..."
"Kreacher, water! Give Mr. Capet water to drink! Sirius shouted, and soon the elf handed Sirius a clean glass of water.
Lupin only opened his eyes after drinking a glass of water, but fortunately, the light in the room was not very bright, and he could see the two people in front of him clearly.
"Bigfoot, and Calvin." Remus smiled weakly, "Can you give me something to eat?" I felt hungry. ”
"Klicer, fried steak, medium rare." Sirius commanded.
"Thank you, Sirius, for remembering the steak I loved." Remus sat up from the bed, draped the thin quilt over his body, and pushed away Sirius, who wanted to hug, "Blake, and Calvin, can you explain why I'm here?" And you, shouldn't you be in Azkaban? ”
Calvin straightened up, squinted his eyes and asked, "Rems, don't you remember what happened last night?" ”
"Last night! Last night......" Remus was told this, holding his head and trying to remember what had happened last night, and after a long time he raised his head and shouted with a twisted expression: "Peter Pediru! He's alive! ”
Sirius breathed a sigh of relief and pulled over a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, "Moonface, it's good you remember, otherwise it's really troublesome to explain." ”
Calvin then explained the matter from the beginning, including the retrial of Sirius, Peter's defection to Voldemort and the subsequent series of events.
"So, after I was poisoned last night, I became a werewolf again?" Remus gulped down a bloody steak and said, "No wonder I feel so tired." So Pediru, did you catch it later? ”
Sirius wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Let him run, probably with his master, cunning mouse." ”
"Let's not mention that, Remus," Calvin digressed, "where have you been all these years, Sirius and I have been looking for you, and we haven't heard from you. ”
"After the war, I left the wizarding world." Remus put the plate on the head of the bed, "Are there any clothes?" Where's my clothes from yesterday? ”
"You were already bursting when you became a werewolf." Sirius took a set from his closet and threw it to Remus.
"Because of my werewolf status, I have not been able to find a suitable job in the wizarding world, and I have been discriminated against." Remus buttoned up, his thin body just fine enough to fit Sirius' clothes when he had just been released from prison, "So I'm working odd jobs in the Muggle world, waiting for a new job when the full moon is over." ”
"It's not that the wizarding world is without werewolves, so it won't be impossible to live." Calvin asked with a frown, he always felt that Remus was running away from something.
Remus smiled helplessly, "Calvin, the werewolves of the wizarding world always act in groups, but I am an outlier among them. Moreover, if you mess with them for a long time, sooner or later you will fall. ”
Calvin smiled and nodded, he could see that Rems was clearly hiding something, but he didn't plan to continue to ask.
"Luckily, though, we're finally back together." Sirius opened his arms again to hug Rems, but this time Remus didn't refuse him, hugging him tightly: "I'm sorry, Bigfoot, I've been misunderstanding you for so many years. ”
"Well, gentlemen, there is still a long time to catch up, so let's discuss a little bit of reality first." Calvin saw that the two of them were almost hugging, and reminded him, "Rems, are you still planning to leave the wizarding world?" ”
Remus sat in his chair and raised an eyebrow at Sirius, which wrinkled his forehead.

"Honestly, I'd love to stay......"
"Then stay, Moon Face, just live here, live here, live here, it's okay." Sirius said impatiently.
Remus spread his hands and smiled, "Oh, Bigfoot, I knew you would say that." But I'm too embarrassed to live with you, you know, I'm not that kind of person. ”
"Besides, I'm a werewolf, so it's inconvenient for you." Remus pondered how to politely decline Sirius' gracious invitation.
Sirius scratched his head, "It's not a big deal...... Calvin, I think you must have a way. ”
"It's not impossible," Calvin said, clearing his throat, "and as far as I know, a potions master named Damocles recently invented a potion called Wolf Poison Potion. ”
"As long as it is taken a week before the full moon, the werewolf will remain sane even if he becomes a wolf. However, there are two drawbacks to this potion,"
"First, it's hard to drink, and it loses its effect when sugar is added to the potion."
"Second, it's very difficult to configure, and I don't think there are two people I know who can configure it. Professor Slughorn and Severus Snape. ”
Sirius, who was still a little excited, suddenly withered, and muttered, "If only Lily were still alive, she would definitely be able to deploy it." ”
Remus smiled and stood up and patted Sirius on the shoulder, "I guess I'd better go back, but don't worry, I'll let your owls find me this time." ”
"No," Sirius grabbed Remus, who was about to leave, "I'll go to Snape, and if he doesn't agree, I'll beat him up." Calvin, you go too, and you, Rems and I go and meet the snot spirit again. ”
"What are you kidding?" Remus pulled Sirius's hand away in surprise, "You won't forget what we did to Snape. I swear he wouldn't have prepared any wolf poison potion for me even if he died. ”
"Actually, there's another way you don't have to go to Snape." Calvin smiled and looked at the two middle-aged men who were entangled, "I want to see if I can cure wolf venom." ”
Calvin's words were like a big hand pressing down on a vibrating drum head, and the noise immediately stopped.
After a long time, Remus let go of Sirius, and said in a trembling voice, "Calvin, what did you say?" Eradicate wolf venom? You...... Do you know what that means? ”
"It's not accurate to say cure," Calvin said slowly, pouring a glass of water, looking at Sirius, "remember why you and Jaime learned from Animagus?" ”
"To be by my side when I transform into a werewolf." Remus said quickly.
Calvin nodded, "That's right. In fact, transforming into a werewolf can also be seen as a kind of Animagus, but it is not very successful, because there is no way to maintain sanity after transformation, and it will consume a lot of magic and physical strength. ”
"You're right, it's true." Remus nodded a little disappointed, even though he had been with the werewolf status for many years, deep down he still wanted to throw away this useless ability.
"So, I want to try if I can tame the wolf venom, so that the werewolf can transform and untransform anytime and anywhere, and maintain sanity after transformation." Calvin licked his lips, and the blood-red twin children were as deep as two candles in the dark room.
"Kaka, are you sure you'll succeed?" Sirius asked, unwilling to let the only remaining member of the group take the risk.
"Look at what you said, Sirius, and don't forget that I'm a well-known expert on magical beasts." Calvin's voice was suddenly full of temptation.
"Why don't I find you some other werewolves, I'll get a list at the Ministry of Magic." Sirius showed rare caution.
However, Remus's hairy hand pressed Sirius's hand, turned to him and smiled confidently, "No, let me be the first experimenter." ”
"But ......"
"I've wanted to get rid of the werewolf status for a long time, and I still have the courage to do so, and don't forget that I'm a Gryffindor prefect."
