Chapter 418: New Prophecy and Werewolves

"Should I contact Ron then?"

Lavender asked seriously.

Because she actually understood from the beginning that this was a problem that even a true prophet could not solve.

The point is not whether the prophecy is true, but how she should face a relationship that may fail.

Accept with pleasure?

Or escape?

And the perceptive trickster Trelawney might be more suitable in this regard.

"It's great to be young. You can still feel the pain of love." Facing Lavender's question, Trelawney sighed.

She suddenly felt that Lavender might not have made up the so-called prophecy just to attract attention.

She was hesitant and confused, not knowing whether she should face the first love in her life.

Trelawney's eyes softened, and her tone was no longer deliberately lowered and mysterious.

Gryffindor indeed.

Dare to be vulnerable with others.

She didn't have the courage back then.

If she had dared to tell her friends at that time, with the support of her friends, even if she failed, it would be beautiful.

Not like now, alone.

"You still have a long life ahead of you. All I can say is don't make a decision you'll regret."

"Take courage! Little lion of Gryffindor!" Trelawney walked up to Lavender and patted her shoulder encouragingly.

But he behaved very stiffly, as if he hadn't had close contact with people for a long time.

"You are the greatest prophet!" Lavender threw herself into Trelawney's arms.

In Lavender's opinion, a prophet who gives others courage and encourages them to move forward is great even if he is a liar.

This may be more useful than cold predictions.

"You only realize it now." Parvati was puzzled.

The professor of divination in the most powerful magic academy must be the most powerful prophet.

After an unknown amount of time, Professor Trelawney watched Lavender and the other person go downstairs and murmured in a low voice, "I hope that next time we meet, you will no longer be troubled by love."

The firelight flickered on her long emerald earrings.

But the next second, a loud, hoarse voice sounded in this strange room, "This happened in midsummer--"

It's Trelawney!
She slumped in her armchair, her gaze vacant, her chin dropped, her eyes moving around, and she looked as if she were having a seizure.

"At the meeting of the three great schools of magic - the spirit of Fiendfyre will be whole again - the Resurrection Stone restored -" Then Professor Trelawney spoke again, in that hoarse voice, so unlike her own.

"A boy with powers that the Dark Lord does not understand will be in the restricted area of ​​​​the Dark Lord three times, and the woman who gave the boy the power will return to the world again..." Professor Trelawney's head dropped to her chest and she snorted.

Then, quite suddenly, her head snapped up again.

"Am I distracted again?" Trelawney shook her head.

At this time, Ryan, who was looking at the snow scenery with Luna not far from the Whomping Willow, turned his head and looked at the top of the North Tower.

"What's wrong?" Luna, wearing a furry white hat, shrank into Ryan's arms.

"Someone mentioned me and this other guy I admire but hate." Ryan rested his chin on Luna's head.

"Oh, Ryan, please continue to tell us the history of the Whomping Willow." Luna didn't ask any more questions.

If it were Hermione, she would probably get to the bottom of the matter by now.

Ryan inexplicably thought of Hermione who was hiding in the Room of Requirement and trying to find Ryan's magic book. "Speaking of the Whomping Willow, there is one person who cannot be separated from us, our assistant professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts - Remus Lupin." Ryan's eyes were shining with memories.

"Him? He is a guy who is harassed and favored by others." Luna said in words that only people close to her could understand.

That is, Lupin is a gloomy, troubled guy.

"Do you know why?"

"He's a werewolf."

"Because of his identity as a werewolf, Hogwarts planted the Whomping Willow here the year he entered school."

"This will keep the surrounding students away from here, and Lupin can go to the Shrieking Shack alone through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow during the full moon." Ryan whispered.

"Then he must be in pain." Luna said.

The werewolf is a magical creature that is not welcome.

They are highly contagious, and the bite wounds will continue to bleed if not treated specially.

A Muggle or wizard who is bitten by a werewolf during a full moon can be transformed into a werewolf by applying a mixture of silver powder and distilled water to the wound and letting it heal.

This is because, werewolves are, more accurately, humans infected with lycanthropy.

If a person is bitten by a werewolf in wolf form during the full moon, infection will occur once the werewolf's saliva comes into contact with the victim's blood.

Another major reason for werewolves being ostracized is loss of control.

They will transform into wolves during the full moon. They cannot choose whether to transform, and they will forget their identities after transforming. They will even find the right opportunity to kill their best friends.

What's even more terrifying is that after they turn back into human form, they can still recall everything they experienced during the entire transformation process.

This means that no matter how kind a werewolf is, he cannot be accepted by others.

Because in wolf form they are already them.

This also causes very strange things to happen when two werewolves mate in wolf form during a full moon.

It has only happened twice in history that a werewolf will give birth to a litter of true wolf pups who grow up to be very beautiful wolves.

They are indistinguishable from real wolves, but possess near-human intelligence.

It is said that there is such a group of wolf cubs in the Forbidden Forest, which is also the source of the rumor that there are werewolves living in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

Ryan, who had already familiarized himself with the Forbidden Forest, knew that this was true.

There are real werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, but real werewolves won't howl unless the moon is full.

He would also trap himself far away from the border of the Forbidden Forest in advance.

They were not the source of the rumors that there were werewolves in the Forbidden Forest.

All in all, as a wizard, Luna should have acted repulsed when she knew there was a werewolf in the school.

Because she was not familiar with Lupin, but she also knew the danger of werewolves.

But the first thing she thought of was that Lupin was in pain.

To be honest, this made Ryan a little jealous.

"What's wrong?" Luna turned her head.

"I'm going to do something good, and maybe your dad will become famous again." Ryan snorted.

"Huh?" Luna's face was full of question marks.

She didn't know that her words made Ryan inexplicably jealous.

It's hard for you to be a werewolf, right?
If there was a spell that could castrate a werewolf's own infectiousness, transforming the wolf into an Animagus-like state.

Are werewolves still in pain?

Damn Lupin!
Look how miserable you are!
