On the barren land, a cold wind blows from the sea, east of Hogwarts.

The wind carries a heavy moisture.

In the depths of winter, it's like being given a terrifying spell.

It's cold wherever you hide.

The wet air, viscous and ubiquitous.

The cold seems to have eyes, specifically attacking the little wizards, burrowing in their sleeves, or covering their faces and hands, so that you can really feel what is called Scottish winter!

Owen shuddered.

In the depths of the Forbidden Forest, the sound of the wind whirring through the layers of tree trunks was heard.

It was a terrifying whistling.

And with the noise of what looked like millions of hands clapping.

"Why are you here?"

"Go back to the castle, it's dangerous outside."

Someone came, with a face full of wrinkles and scars.

He had gray hair and wore a brown robe.

The robe was clear at a glance that it had been cleaned by magic many times.

And it's Muggle goods.

Because the cuffs and collar are already white.

Magical clothing, whether it's Madame Morkin's robes store for the general public, or the luxury clothing store - Extraordinary Ready-to-Wear Store, or the popular fashion brand Fengya Wizard clothing store in Europe. Even the second-hand robes store that Mrs. Weasley frequented.

As long as it is a sorcerer's clothing, it will apply a permanent spell to the clothes.

Although it is said to be eternal, in fact, there is a time limit, but the kind of wear and tear that resists time may be hundreds of years.

There will never be whitishness.

Unless it's corrupted by magic.

"Professor Lupin?"

The two looked at the professor in surprise, who was highly regarded in the circle of young wizards.

A few hours ago, he was not injured.

In other words, Professor Lupin must have been attacked shortly after this.

——On the path of the hills, the professor came in the dust.

Owen noticed that he was clutching his wand at this point.

The face that was once loyal was now covered with frost and anger.

"It's dangerous here." As he got closer, he emphasized.

"What's going on, Professor?" Luna asked cautiously.

The professor glanced at Luna, and his pale blue eyes fell on Owen.

Just now, he noticed something strange about the Dementors outside the castle.

Get ready to find out what's going on.

But as he walked out of the gates of Hogwarts with the observatory, on the wooden bridge that led to the direction of the Forbidden Forest of Hagrid's Hut, he saw the dark wizard he hated.

No - it's a werewolf.

Werewolf Fenrir Greyback.

That changed his life.

Turned him into a monster to blame.

Werewolf Greyback of course noticed Professor Lupin too, his gray-blue eyes revealing a hint of confusion, then anger.

Because he noticed that Lupin, who was also a werewolf, seemed to be in Hogwarts.

This ignited the idea that "blood is what werewolves deserve, and werewolves should take revenge on normal people." "For the wrath of Greyback of the Creed.

But Professor Lupin was even angrier than he was.

Furious, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately rushed madly towards the miscellaneous.

A big war ensued.

Professor Lupin, who has been hiding from human society for many years and has never eaten meat, has fallen into no match for Greyback, who is proud of his status as a werewolf, in terms of physical fitness, and that guy has thick skin and meat, and it is okay to resist a few spells.

But when it comes to wizarding duels, Professor Lupin is much better than Greyback.

After a few rounds of fighting, it was clear that Greyback was on the back foot.

Maybe it was the fear that Dumbledore was in the castle, or maybe it was the fear that he would be defeated and thus be captured by Professor Lupin.

Fenrir Greyback didn't dare to stay long.

After a few sarcastic and mocking trash words at the end, he dodged into the Forbidden Forest.

"Traces of dark wizards have been found around the castle." Lupin said worriedly, his hesitant eyes constantly looking back and forth at the child in front of him.

He knew Fenrir Greyback too well.

That's a monster with a crazy head.

Although Fenrir Greyback was also attacked by werewolves in the early years and became a werewolf.

But he embarked on a path that was completely out of his own. His twisted soul directly accepted the fact that he was a monster, and made it his creed to create more monsters as his only remaining creed.

He appeared near Hogwarts with one purpose, and that was to bite the poor children and turn them into werewolves.

Become a monster just like him!

The anger on Lupin's face grew even stronger at the thought of this.

"Dark wizard?" Owen raised his eyelids.

"Which one are you talking about?"

"That's what I said." Professor Lupin was about to reply.

But suddenly, his tone froze.

Then he looked at Owen with a puzzled look, "Which one?" ”

"Who else did you find?"

In the next second, a scrutinizing gaze fell on Owen's face.

"That's a lot." Owen stretched out his left hand, then snapped his fingers and said word by word: "There are Bella, Avery, Murseber, Rabastan, oh! There's also a guy named Tilles, and that's a lot! ”、

"Are you sure?"

Professor Lupin asked incredulously.

"Are there really so many of them?"

He felt that the names were the most naughty Hogwarts kid in front of him from the newspaper, and that the kid was joking with her.

Owen Sanchez.

Everyone in Hogwarts knows about problem teenagers.

The children of the four deans are the most troublesome.

Even Professor McGonagall, Lupin's most steady, fairest, and most unsmiling professor. When he saw the child, he would frown, then turn his head and pretend not to see it and walk away.

"Of course, I never lie!" Owen patted his chest and swore an oath.

"In that case!" Professor Lupin still doesn't believe Owen.

He didn't believe that if so many Death Eaters really appeared near Hogwarts, Dumbledore wouldn't have noticed.

But—since the kid was right, he felt the need to report it to Dumbledore.

"Follow me." He said.

————

Owen glanced at Luna and saw that she was looking at herself, too.

In the silver eyes, there is a little firmness.

Immediately, the three of them returned to the castle along the mountain path.

They didn't meet a few people along the way.

This is normal.

There was no heating in Hogwarts, and the only warm place in the castle was the common rooms of the houses, and it was Christmas.

If it weren't for the festival, there wouldn't even be a single person in the corridors of the castle.

"Owen~" Luna said timidly.

She followed him, caution written all over her face.

"Shouldn't we avoid other people? Hiding in the shadows? ”

"No, no." Owen also whispered in response.

"Everything we have done in the past is something that has already happened, and as long as we do not intersect with ourselves in this time period, then time will fill all possible holes. Rest assured! ”

"It's amazing!" Her eyes sparkled with silver hair, (rabbit ears magic gadget.) When you wear it, your hair turns silver, a Christmas gift that Owen gave to Luna last year. Like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust.

"That being said, don't go too far."

"Uh-huh~"

Professor Lupin listened to the sparse voice behind him.

He didn't hear it very clearly.

Because this is not the quality that a professor should need, he never bothered to inquire about other people's secrets.

This may have something to do with the fact that he himself is carrying a huge secret.

The three of them walked up the spiral staircase to the third floor.

The empty corridor was dark and secluded.

The cold marble exuded a strange cold luster.

There was a streak of water on the floor.

I don't know who poured the water here.

The cold weather directly froze it into ice.

Owen nearly fell.

Fortunately, he subconsciously grabbed Luna's wrist. The elf grabbed him so he didn't lose face.

"Whose prank?"

Owen's first reaction was the Twins.

However, the Twins should have been watching Ginny walk the Dementors in the clearing.

But - to sprinkle water here, around the corner of a corridor, is clearly intentional.

It must have been a prank by the little wizard, or a trap.

Maybe the nasty guy who was secretly fiddling with the trap was hiding in some dark corner of the hallway, laughing at him.

Professor Lupin shook his head.

The child's heart.

How childish it is to use ice as a trap!

With a thought in his mind, he stepped around the corner, and- "Shhh ”

The professor jerked back, leaning against the wall, pulling his wand from his robes with his right hand, tilting his head and motioning for Owen and Luna to be quiet.

Then leaned out on his own.

Glancing around the corner.

"What's going on?"

Luna was shocked.

She held Owen's hand a little nervously, and took out her wand herself, looking nervously at Owen who also reacted.

———— should be at this time.

Owen clenched his wand.

He thought it was some kind of prank.

But now that I think about it, calculate the time, Professor Lupin should have had an accident at this time.

"Who's there!" Professor Lupin shouted.

Then he stepped out of the corner wall, and a glowing glow flew out of his wand, illuminating the dark hallway.

Owen followed.

Then, he saw a picture that was unique in his life.

I saw the miserable white floor.

There was a monster crawling on the ground, limbs wriggling, as if gnawing on something.

There was a trail of blood on his footsteps.

Even if you don't see him underneath, you can know what the monster is doing.

"Broken bones!"

"Shadowless!"

Owen and Professor Lupin cast the spell at about the same time.

The red spell and invisible sword struck the monster directly.

'Boom'.

The monster was knocked out of the way.

It slammed into the wall with a loud noise.

Falling rocks and blood spilled in the hallways.

It's very hideous and scary to look at.

"That's it!"

After shooting the monster away, the three of them finally saw who was under it.

"No~No~No!" Professor Lupin hurried over.

The wand in his hand is constantly throwing out all kinds of powerful spells.

Enraged, he had forgotten to keep his hand, and now he just wanted to kill the monster once and for all.

"That's like—Lavender Brown of Gryffindor!!"

Owen's pupils constricted, and he immediately recognized the man who had fallen to the ground, his face pale. A girl with a huge notch in her neck torn out.

As Hermione's roommate.

He had several encounters with Lavender.

It was a passionate girl with shaggy hair.

One thing to say, she is even very beautiful.

It's just that I'm not very good at dressing up.

I often wear some pink, shiny pendants, which look a little frivolous.

But in fact, this is a good girl, and she hasn't done anything harmful, and the only thing she did in the original book was to kiss Ron by force.

Speaking of which, this is also conservative Britain.

In the United States, this is nothing.

The little girl even sent him a few pink letters.

But he didn't see a single letter of them, and all of them were burned by Hannah as firewood.

And now, that active, enthusiastic, and ever-angry Hermione's teeth chatter (sarcastically Hermione doesn't dress up, she grins like a tomboy.) But he may have fallen in a pool of blood forever.

"Ahh Luna let out a cry of surprise.

She also found the girl lying in a pool of blood.

A Little Wizard!!

Her face was pale, her eyes widened, she was paralyzed on all fours, blood gushing out of her neck.

It's hard to feel like she's alive.

"Hurry up and recover! Rapid recovery!! Professor Lupin swooped down on Lavender, then took out his wand and aimed it at the wound in her neck, chanting the Resuscitation Charm.

"Go find Madam Pomfrey." He turned and shouted at Owen.

Hoarseness.

And Luna, who was panicked, finally came to her senses.

After Owen nodded, she immediately ran away and rushed towards the school hospital on the second floor.

"How's she?" Owen walked over as well, all his attention drawn to Lavender.

"Very bad!" Professor Lupin said with a shudder.

A faint green glow from the tip of the wand.

The blood around him flowed upstream, as if inspired, and returned to Lavender's body.

"There was breathing, but it was faint, and the body temperature was very low, as if someone had picked it up from the snow."

"Will she die?" Owen asked directly.

The main thing is that this girl has lost too much blood.

If it were placed in the Muggle world, such a wound, even if it collapsed at the door of the emergency room, would not be able to be saved.

"No!" Professor Lupin said heavily.

"Absolutely not!"

Owen could hear the resoluteness in his tone.

He didn't speak again.

Instead, he looked at the murderer in the ruins in the corner.

That executioner!

There's a vampire in the castle!

Dumbledore!

Didn't he have a speculum to see all the parts of the castle?

So didn't find out?

Bloodsucker? Owen was stunned.

Could it be- he just realized something. Then I heard a roar from the pile of stones. "It's delicious!"

Then all the stones were shaken apart.

"Armor protection!"

Owen braced up a piece of blue armor to protect him, Professor Lupin, and Lavender on the ground.

Then, with a look of astonishment, he looked at the monster that had stood up again.

"It's you!"

"Damn, it's ghostly!"

It's that Blood Ancestor again!

The Blood Ancestor who became the Dead!

Wait—when he came back from the clearing, he happened to meet the Blood Ancestor wandering outside Hogwarts Castle, if he had escaped from the castle at the time.

Then - the murderer of Professor Lupin's attack is.

Depend on!

"Professor, be careful!"

Without waiting for Owen to remind him, the man suddenly turned into a pool of blood, flowing blood, and then rushed towards them like crazy.

"Calling the gods~"

Before Owen's spell could be pronounced, the monster's attack had already arrived in front of him.

"Not good!"

It's too fast, it's too close!

During the Battle of the Forbidden Forest, they were far enough away that he had enough time to cast spells and even escape, but this was Hogwarts, a corridor.

He was like a lamb forced up a cliff, and in front of him was a hungry, skinny wolf.

There's simply no room for casting spells.

"Get out of the way!"

At the last moment. Professor Lupin didn't stop the revival spell in his hand.

Instead, he pushed Owen away.

Then prepare to resist the attack of monsters.

The wound on Lavender's neck was healing rapidly, and he couldn't let go of his hands.

Moreover, he is a werewolf.

Professor Lupin thinks so.

His physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and even if he resists a few spells, he will be fine.

Then the blood swept him out of the corridor like a storm.

"Professor Lupin!"

Owen, who was slumped on the ground, quickly got up, held his wand and eagerly chased out.

"Calling the Gods to Protect !!"

A sparkling silver glow flashed.

A phoenix flying close to the ground, spreading its wings and flying.

Finally, at the moment of turning the corner, he hit the puddle of blood!

"Hiss~~hiss~~"

The sound of burning skin sounded like flames.

The blood ached, and then he spat out Professor Lupin.

Then he rushed out of the spiral staircase, leaving behind a rotten, rotting smell, and sped straight out of the castle.

"Professor!"

"Professor!!"

He hurried over.

I saw that Professor Lupin, who had fallen to the ground, was pale, although he did not seem to have any wounds on his body at all.

But he fell into a coma.

No matter how much I called him, there was no reaction.

"What's going on?"

Owen's heart felt like he had fallen into the abyss.

Because he knew that it might be the cause.

Soul~

It's the soul!

The dead feed on their souls, and Professor Lupin may have been drained of a lot of his soul energy, just like the ghosts in the castle.

It is fortunate that he is still alive, because once the soul leaves the body, it is equivalent to complete death.

"Damn!! Damn it!!! ”

What kind of completion history is this!

This is obviously an experience of history.

I still didn't save Professor Lupin.

"Damn!" An inexplicable sense of powerlessness surged over his head. It makes Owen feel irritated!

Then he waved his wand and summoned Lavender, who had fallen to the floor on the other side.

Her body was lilt, like a marshmallow.

"Lavender! Feed! You okay? He turned to the girl again.

This time, he received a response.

Although Lavender's face was extremely pale, he used a levitation charm to summon her.

When the wand's light shone on her pupils.

The girl showed a very typical pupillary reaction.

And the eyes also subconsciously deflected, as if to avoid this sudden light.

"It's fine!"

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally survived.

At this time, Owen suddenly remembered that in normal time, he had seen Madam Pomfrey take a lot of potions to replenish his blood.

It turned out that it was not for Professor Lupin, but for Lavender.

These two people, one was sucked blood, and the other was sucked soul.

One is more serious than the other.

"Ah~~~"

Just as Owen was thinking about what to do, a scream suddenly came from the spiral staircase.

He turned his head to look, and it was- Neville?

He was slumped up the stairs, holding his handguard in his hands.

"It's-" Owen assured that he must have seen the Blood Ancestor spit out Professor Lupin.

Even the dead man attacked him when he fled.

Owen wasn't sure, because Neville's face looked pretty bad.

The little face was pale, and his whole body was convulsing.

Just as Owen was about to go over to investigate the situation, he rolled his eyes suddenly, and then fainted.

You won't be sucked away from your soul energy!

Owen looked at Neville who had fallen on the stairs in shock, and the anger in his heart continued to burn his senses.

Now, he had a reason to kill that vampire!

"Oh. Oh, my God! ”

"Merlin's beard, here's what's going on. You've been attacked? ”

At this moment, Luna led Madam Pomfrey up the spiral staircase.

The infirmary is on the second floor, which is very close to here.

Moreover, under the influence of the constant college war, Madam Pomfrey rushed to save people faster and faster.

Owen even thought he could go to the 100m sprint at the Muggle Olympics.

At least one medal can be awarded.

"We've been attacked, some kind of monster to be exact, the Dead!" Owen helped Madam Pomfrey to levitate Professor Lupin and Lavender under a spell.

"One of them had a lot of blood sucked up, and the other had a part of their souls sucked out."

"Soul?" Madam Pomfrey was startled, and her whole face turned white.

"Yes, and it was a vampire who attacked them, the Blood Ancestor Vampire, you beware, Lavenko will not become a vampire."

It is well known that whether it is a werewolf or a vampire, the means by which they create their own kind is to attack ordinary people, in addition to natural combinations.

Owen doesn't know if Lavender will turn into a vampire.

If it was a normal vampire bite, she would definitely become a vampire.

But that Blood Ancestor was obviously not normal.

He must have been turned into a dead one.

Whether it will have a bloodstream infection, no one knows.

"And Neville." With that, he pointed to Neville, who was being picked up by Luna.

"He bumped into the monster, I don't know if he was attacked, but he passed out."

"He's fine!" Madam Pomfrey knew all about it just by glancing at Neville from afar.

The kid was trembling all over.

The stutter is still murmuring.

The muscles of the face are twitching.

Apparently caused by a frightened person.

And he didn't have any external injuries, so, Madam Pomfrey, judging that he was just frightened by the monster that Owen said.

"That's good!"

Say it!

He helped Madam Pomfrey and get Professor Lupin and Lavender to the school infirmary.

Then the two of them were kicked out.

The doors of the infirmary are closed.
