Professor Lupin's friend?

Harry was stunned, he subconsciously wanted to look at Lupin, but when his gaze moved up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ron and Hermione's expressions, they both had expressions of frozen breath, as if they had seen a ghost.

"What's the matter, you know this guy?"

"He's Greyback, the leader of the werewolves, and I've seen the Ministry of Magic wanted photo in the book."

Hermione's voice quivered as much as her body.

That is, a notorious criminal? Harry instinctively thought about it, but, judging by Ron's scared expression, it didn't seem that simple.

"Don't tell me you don't know Greyback, Harry—" Ron said in a shudder, he lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at the man,

"Greyback is particularly cruel, and he likes to deal with underage children, but instead of eating them, he turns them into his own kind by biting them, and he expands his power in this way."

Harry was stunned, turned into a werewolf?

A cold breath welled up from his stomach, and in the blink of an eye, a fine drop of cold sweat appeared on Harry's forehead, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if he were to be turned into a werewolf.

"As Ron said—" said Professor Lupin, who had his back to them, bitterly, "that's why I became a werewolf." ”

"What do you want to do, Greyback!"

Hagrid roared angrily, "Do you want to go to war with Hogwarts and the centaurs at the same time, you know, if you dare to do so, Dumbledore will not let you go!" ”

"Oh, why do you think that?"

Greyback's voice sounded very smooth, but his eyes were always cold,

"We're funny, haven't we, Hagrid, we haven't hurt the little fools who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest in all these years, and we haven't provoked the centaurs. Werewolves have always been good neighbors, haven't they? ”

Looking at the pretentious Greyback, Lupin took a deep breath and asked with a cold face,

"And what is the purpose of your presence here tonight, Greyback?"

"Those who rebel against my compatriots are not qualified to talk to me."

Greyback snorted contemptuously, and he glanced at Lupin, his eyes glowing with ill intentions.

"Say your purpose, Greyback."

Snape said in a soft tone, and even the three Harry could hear the danger in his tone.

"You've had a pretty good time under the protection of Old Man Dumbledore all these years, Severus--"

Greyback didn't seem to notice the aggressiveness in Snape's questioning voice, and he sneered slowly,

"And we've been in hiding under the Ministry of Magic, why haven't you remembered to take care of your old friend, Severus, after all, we've worked together—"

Harry couldn't help but glare at Snape in disgust.

There were rumors at school that Snape had once been Voldemort's minions, and now, the rumors were confirmed.

"Either make your purpose clear, or get out of here, Greyback!"

Surrounded by a large group of werewolves, it is impossible to say that they are not nervous, especially, Harry They are still here, if these little wizards have any damage tonight, it is hard to imagine what kind of attack Dumbledore and Hogwarts will suffer, Hagrid roared in a low voice, and the appearance of a twelve-foot tall behemoth with anger is indeed an unusual intimidation, Greyback slightly restrained his posture and smiled coldly,

"An old friend wrote us a letter saying that we could meet someone here tonight that we were looking forward to seeing day and night-——"

Gregork looking for Blake?

It was an instinctive thought that popped through Harry's head, but then he realized that something was wrong, that the person who wrote the letter had no good intentions.

"It could be Blob—"

Hermione whispered.

Things have developed to this point, and it is completely beyond the intervention of young wizards, and the three of Harry can only stay quietly in the protective circle and wait and see how things develop.

"--But I think we were deceived,"

Greyback spoke coldly,

"I searched the neighborhood with my compatriots, but I didn't find the person we wanted to kill, but I accidentally watched a good show--"

Lupin wanted to say something, but Greyback suddenly turned his gaze to Sirius and continued,

"Perhaps, this is a gift from the good Samaritans, as you know, the life of the werewolves is very difficult, and there are not many chances that we can get 50,000 gold gallons-"

Sirius was stunned, then his eyes were fierce.

"Werewolves don't want to be enemies of Hogwarts, Hagrid--"

Greyback put his hands behind his back without moving, giving the werewolves hidden in the darkness a command, and then pointed at Sirius and Remus with that silver glittering finger,

"Give us Blake and this traitor, and then you can leave with the others, Hagrid."

Hearing this, Snape's eyes moved, and he squinted at the two people named by Greyback, and the corners of his mouth showed sarcasm

"Reasonable demand, I think it can be satisfied, what do you two say, now is the time to embody the spirit of heroic sacrifice-"

Harry thought that Professor Lupin and Blake would definitely refuse such an unreasonable request, but unexpectedly, after he glanced at each other, Lupin really said with a calm face,

"Are you really willing to let them go if we stay, Greyback?"

"Professor Lupin!"

Hermione changed back to her old name, and she exclaimed incredulously,

"You can't make deals with werewolves, they can't be trusted. Oh, sorry, I mean, they werewolves can't be trusted. ”

Maybe it was because Hermione had started calling him professor again, and Remus looked pleased, and he said with a gentle smile,

"You don't know what, Miss Granger."

"No, Remus!"

Hagrid also said rudely,

"Professor Dumbledore won't agree with your decision, we need to go back to Hogwarts together!"

It wasn't just the three Harry who were surprised by Remus's decision, but Snape as well, and when he heard that Remus and Sirius had really volunteered to stay, the joy on his face vanished, and his face turned ugly.

"So, how did you discuss?"

Greyback admired his metal hand in the scarlet moonlight, and said a little impatiently, to be honest, according to his wishes, none of these people would want to run tonight, but werewolves also have enemies that they can't afford to provoke, and if he really does this, then I'm afraid he will have to move out of Europe with his entire clan.

"Hagrid, we need to make sure Harry and them are safe."

Lupin said in an accentuated tone.

"No!"

Harry screamed violently, apparently realizing that if Professor Lupin and Blake were really left here, they would be more than lucky.

"If we're going to go, we'll have to go back together!"

"You're as brave as your dad, Harry."

Sirius blew his nose and said sentimentally,

"But Remus is right, you should leave, these werewolves are not something you little ones can handle."

Sirius and Remus's decision made Hagrid hesitate a little, he didn't know the severity, but he also knew that if Remus was left here, the werewolves would not let Remus end well, and Sirius would be killed, and they would give his body to the Ministry of Magic for a bounty, and the Ministry of Magic would prefer Sirius to die as a criminal rather than some wronged hero.
