Chapter 216: Banban and the Werewolf (Please subscribe, collect, and recommend)
The next day, the school started after the holiday, and the first class was Care of Magical Creatures. It was not a comfortable thing to stay in the playground with thick snow for two hours in January, but Hagrid had a unique idea to let everyone learn about salamanders.

This class was better than anyone could have imagined, as students collected dead branches and leaves to keep the fire going, while flame-loving lizards jumped on the crackling, white-hot wood.

After the class, Ryan went to ask Hagrid about the Hippogriff, and learned that Hagrid was determined to have nothing to do with the accident under Dumbledore's guarantee, but he and the Hippogriff were required to go to London to attend a hearing on April 4.

Ryan could only comfort Hagrid, because he knew that those people in the Dangerous Creatures Committee had been bribed by Big Malfoy. No matter how Hagrid prepared, it would be useless. And Dumbledore would never break up with the Ministry of Magic over such a trivial matter.

But it was obvious that the Hippogriff was not guilty of death, so Ryan decided to discuss it with the Centaur tribe in two days. When the executioner came, he could steal Buckbeak and put him with the Centaur. Of course, this matter could not be told to Hagrid, otherwise it would definitely leak out before the action.

When they returned to the common room after class that day, Ron found Ryan with his Scabbers.

"Ryan, can you help me take care of my rat? I feel like it's been getting worse since the summer vacation, and I can't figure out why."

"Ron, I can treat patients, but I'm not a veterinarian." Ryan looked at him helplessly.

"The owner of the pet shop said that it was almost at the end of its lifespan, and I knew it couldn't be cured, so I wondered if there was any way to make it live more comfortably." Ron was a very reasonable person unless he got carried away by passion.

"How about euthanasia? You have to know that in the Muggle world, if a pet cannot be cured, its owner will let them die without pain to avoid them suffering from the disease."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan saw Scabbers waving his claws desperately trying to escape from Ron's hands. Peter Pettigrew had a strong desire to survive.

"You see it's quite energetic now, it must want to live. So is there any other way?" Ron said as soon as Scabbers fell silent. Ryan was sure that this mouse was an Animagus. After all, although the animals in the magical world are smart, they can only understand simple human language. Theoretically, these animals cannot understand the exclusive terms such as euthanasia.

"Then let me see it." Ryan said and took the rat from Ron. After taking the rat, Ryan really wanted to strangle it to death, but thinking about Peter's record of blowing up half a street, he suppressed this thought.

"Maybe changing the environment will be better." Ryan said after pretending to look at the mouse. "Well, you can try to put it here first. But you'd better put it in a cage. After all, I'm not its owner. It would be bad if it ran around everywhere."

"That sounds like a good idea. Wait for me." Ron said and ran back to the dormitory. A moment later he came down carrying a cage containing Banban, and a paper bag in it.

"Here, the paper bag contains food specially bought for it. Just feed it ten grains a day." Ron said as he handed the thing over.

"Don't worry." Ryan said confidently. He was now quite happy because he had finally controlled an uncertainty factor. Correspondingly, Scabbers' anxiety was reduced a lot after being brought into Ryan's bedroom. It was probably because he felt that Sirius would be easier to find when Ron was not around.

After dealing with Scabbers's matter, Ryan entered the Emerald Dream at night to say hello to his friends in the Forbidden Forest. He happened to meet Aunt Betty, who looked very happy. Aunt Betty told him that Wolfe would find them at the edge of the Forbidden Forest tomorrow.

The next day, Ryan and Hermione rushed to the edge of the Forbidden Forest right after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The Forbidden Forest was particularly quiet after the snow. Wolfe was circling under a tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Looking at the circle of footprints under the tree, it was clear that he must have waited here for quite some time.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ryan presented a gift. Wolfe said happily after opening it, "Thank you for the gift you brought me during your long journey. It's a pure South American rubber ball, with magic on it to ensure it won't be chewed up by me accidentally like the ones I've been playing with recently, and this illustrated book of American flora and fauna. You're really thoughtful." "We're friends, so this is what we should do." Ryan said as he used magic to clear a space, then sat on a tree stump and began to discuss the recent situation with Wolfe.

"Did you know? Bain, the old bachelor among the centaurs, got married, and his bride is Betty."

"Is that the rough-looking centaur?" Ryan said in disbelief. He really couldn't connect the savage with the gentle Aunt Betty.

"Rude, maybe. But I heard from the centaurs in the village that when Bain was young, he was the best hunter in the village and also the most handsome centaur. At that time, he and Betty, the most beautiful girl in the village, were an enviable couple. Unfortunately, centaurs worship reproduction, and Betty rejected Bain's pursuit after being cursed. Since then, Bain has stopped taking care of himself, letting his hair become messy and his temper getting worse and worse."

"But." At this point, Wolfe's ears pricked up in excitement, which made him look more like a husky. "Recently, the curse on Betty was lifted, and she also agreed to Bane's proposal. I heard them say that this seems to be related to your adventure in Brazil, right?"

"I can only say that by chance, I killed the dark wizard who cursed Aunt Betty." Ryan replied.

"No wonder Betty said she would give you a gift in a while." Wolf's wolf face showed an expression of sudden realization.

After Ryan and Wolfe finished talking about Aunt Betty, Hermione joined in and started talking about their experiences in Brazil, while Wolfe also talked about some recent events in the Forbidden Forest.

Wolfe suddenly stopped talking and twitched his nose violently.

"What happened?" Ryan asked curiously as he watched Wolf sniffing around the two people.

"I seem to smell the same kind of scent from you." Wolf said seriously.

"The same kind?" Ryan suddenly remembered that Wolfe was actually a very special descendant of a werewolf, and the same kind he was talking about was probably a werewolf.

After circling Ryan and Hermione twice, Wolfe set his sights on the school bag Hermione was carrying.

"What's in your bag?" Wolfe asked seriously.

"There are only things for today's class." Hermione said as she took out the books one by one, while Wolfe smelled them one by one. There was nothing wrong with the books in front of her until Hermione took out a notebook with a brown cover that looked very old.

"Yes, this notebook has the scent of my compatriots." Wolfe confirmed after sniffing it several times. After saying that, he looked up at Hermione and said, "Can you tell me where this notebook came from?"
