227. Detective Fudge
Shortly after Peter was secretly picked up by the Ministry of Magic, the Daily Prophet broke a shocking news that caught the attention of all wizards.
Sirius turned out to be innocent. The betrayal of the Potters turned out to have another secret, and the hero Peter Pettigrew, who originally died, did not die
One after another, big melons were thrown, attracting the attention of wizards who had little entertainment.
The newspaper's sales on the day instantly surpassed the contradiction, and returned to the first place in sales.
On the same day, the Daily Prophet published a special issue of Minister of Magic Fudge's personal issue, telling the story of how Minister Fudge discovered Sirius's innocence.
The plot is quite exciting, and in the description of the article, Fudge is described as an old and steady detective.
Although a lot of upper-class wizards scoff at this statement.
Detective Fudge? That idiot is also worthy?
But Fudge is indeed welcomed by the low-level wizards who don't know the truth, and his approval rating has increased significantly.
Speaking for low-level wizards, just with this gimmick, he became the most popular Minister of Magic.
As long as this persona does not collapse, he can firmly sit in the position of minister.
After all, the powerful wizards in this world are in the minority, and most of them are ordinary people.
Of course, Fudge also knows how to reciprocate, and another batch of Hogwarts graduates have been placed with jobs, and even students who have not yet graduated have been given places.
Among them is Percy, who has only just joined the disciplinary team.
Therefore, even if it is a piece of shit, it has the value of use.
Especially in a high position.
——————————
The red sun gradually sank below the horizon, and the bright moon gradually hung on the branches like a disk.
It's another full moon night.
"Really. Is there really such a magical spell? I mean, it's incredible. ”
In the Headmaster's office, Lupin was a little incoherent, as it was too important for him as a werewolf.
"Professor Dumbledore, I mean Mr. Dursley can really restrain my transformation?"
Not long after he sat down, Lupin stood up again, pacing back and forth in the room.
Dumbledore could understand his excitement and nodded, "Don't worry, Remus, Dudley's abilities are better than you think." ”
It's been two weeks since the Screaming Shack incident, because it involves the previous Minister of Magic, and it is a shocking case involving thirteen lives, Sirius is currently staying where the Ministry of Magic has requested, and there are many, many procedures to go through to overturn the case, and it will take no less than five discussions through the Wizengamot alone.
Dudley also spoke: "Professor Dumbledore has submitted this spell to the Wizengamot, as long as it is verified and confirmed that the spell is true and effective, then the Ministry of Magic will announce this spell to the public, and then it will be popularized on a large scale, and werewolf wizards can live a normal life." ”
Lupin no longer knew what words to use to express his feelings.
Excitement is certain, and there is a deep sense of gratitude.
"I think I'll be happy if you can keep your big black dog friend from harassing Harry."
Dudley's words made Lupin very embarrassed.
Sirius had been harassing Harry no less than ten times in this time, and if it hadn't been for the Ministry of Magic's insistence, this guy would have had nothing to do with coming to Harry.
If Harry was willing to say it, the crux of the matter was. Harry was unimpressed by Sirius, the godfather who was nominally supposed to support his parents after their deaths, but in fact he hadn't seen them for more than a decade.
The Godfather in the wizarding world is a guardian appointed by both parents to ensure that their education is undertaken if they encounter misfortune.
However, Sirius, the godfather, could not be said to be incompetent, it was as if there was none.
So he wasn't as good as Snape in Harry's heart.
At least Snape could teach him potions
While they were talking, the moon was already hanging high in the sky
A bright moonlight shone through the skylight, and Lupin, bathed in this moonlight, suddenly fell to his knees and began to tremble.
"That feeling came. I can't control myself! ”
Lupin shouted loudly, alerting Dudley and Dumbledore.
With a terrible low roar, Lupin's head began to elongate, so did his body, his shoulders arched, his face and hands began to grow hairs all over his body, which were clearly visible, his hands curled up into claws, and his teeth began to become canines and grow in size.
There was bloodthirsty madness in his eyes.
"Whew~~!" The werewolf Lupin tried to attack, but was entangled in his limbs by several vines.
The place where the vines are entwined is exactly where the joints of the limbs are felt, and unless the opponent can reach the strength of the mountain monster, it is impossible to break free from this restraint.
Although the danger of werewolves is above that of mountain monsters and trolls, it is really far inferior in strength.
Dudley unhurriedly took out his wand and placed it on the forehead of the werewolf Lupin.
"Humanoid recovery!"
A spell that restores the Humanoid Charm.
The tip of the wand emits a pale blue light, which radiates in all directions.
Slowly, the frequency of Lupin's struggle to become a werewolf began to gradually weaken, the madness under his eyes slowly subsided, and he gradually regained his clarity, his canine teeth began to shrink, and his exuberant hair also retracted into his body. until they regain their human form
"No matter how many times you watch it, it's magical." Dumbledore smiled and whispered.
"How does it feel? Professor Lupin. ”
Seeing that Lupin was back to normal, Dudley withdrew his wand.
"I'm a little dizzy, it's like eating ten licorice candies, and my stomach is uncomfortable and I want to vomit."
Lupin shook his head and said, then stunned for a moment, looking at his hands in surprise.
It's not big furry paws, but arms that are as normal as usual.
"It's a success!"
Lupin shouted excitedly, then choked up, tears overflowing uncontrollably, wetting the corners of his eyes, and then crying like a child.
Even if there is a wolf poison potion, it only keeps Lupin sane after transforming into a werewolf, and can only hide in the professor's office and curl up until dawn.
And the price of the wolf poison potion is simply too expensive.
Lupin's poor financial situation before coming to Hogwarts was absolutely unaffordable.
It would be unthinkable to restore human form to be exactly like a normal person like this.
"It's really turned back!"
The sound contained too much poignancy for decades, something that Lupin had been thinking about even in his dreams since he had been bitten by a werewolf called Fenrir.
Now the dream has finally come true. The Restore Humanoid Spell really works!
Although he will still turn into a werewolf on a full moon night, at least there is a way to change back.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Dursley."
Lupin clasped his hands together and gripped Dudley's right hand tightly.
"Thank you very much."
I didn't know what to say in a thousand words, and there was only one word of thanks left on my lips.
