From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 334: The Noble Use of Black Magic

"Who are they?" Furong pointed at a group of people gathered in the open space in the forbidden forest. They were men, women, young and old, but the same thing was that they all looked pale and were dressed shabbily.

"They are all lycanthropes, or werewolves," Ivy said softly.

"Werewolf?" Fleur exclaimed in a low voice, "I remember it was a full moon today! Oh my God! There really are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts! I always thought it was a rumor to scare students! It's too scary, we better leave quickly!"

"Didn't you want to see me use black magic to do noble things?" Ivy asked with a smile.

Fleur's face showed real fear. She asked in a trembling voice: "...You want to use dark magic to get rid of them? Although werewolves are indeed dangerous, they can only lose control of themselves during a full moon... Just let them wander in the Forbidden Forest... Anyway, this forest is so big that irrational werewolves can't find the direction of the castle..."

"What are you thinking of?" Ivy shook her head, and emerged from the tree canopy with Furong and Cassandra, landing among the lycanthropes.

These ragged lycanthropes uttered a cry of surprise and shrank back, leaving a large space.

"What's going on? Lupin!" an angry voice shouted, "You didn't say there would be ordinary wizards visiting! They must be students of Hogwarts! What if they become werewolves too! Dumbledore will tear us to pieces!"

Because of this sentence, the lycanthropes could not help but stir up a commotion, and moved away from Ivy and the other two more cautiously, fearing that they would lose their minds and turn into wolves the next moment, tearing the three skinny students into pieces.

"Don't be nervous! He is our benefactor and the wizard who really helped us complete our transformation. I often mention his name to you." A deep and majestic voice sounded, and then Lupin, who had completely transformed into a tall werewolf, walked out of the woods. The werewolves who had undergone the full moon ceremony like him built a shed in the woods as a temporary residence for the new werewolves. On the other hand, they also separated some people to stay here to guard the site of the full moon ceremony.

After all, Lupin had already reached an agreement with Dumbledore on behalf of all the Full Moon Werewolves, allowing them to use this corner of the Forbidden Forest. But until their identities were widely recognized by the wizarding world, they could not actively appear in the sight of students and professors.

This is not a bad thing for the Full Moon Werewolves, because what they are doing now is to first gain a truly legal status in the British wizarding world, then promote the legitimacy of werewolves to the entire world, and finally transform all lycanthropes in the world into Full Moon Werewolves.

That's right, because Ivy casually named this ceremony "Full Moon Ceremony", they decided to call themselves Full Moon Werewolves.

"Ivy Dum..." A low voice came from the lycanthropes.

"Yes, he is Ivy." Lupin nodded in affirmation, then looked at Ivy and the two girls beside him.

"I remember our meeting time should be after the full moon ceremony. Why are you here now, with two students? Ivy?" asked the tall werewolf. The sunlight had weakened, but it still reflected a cold light on Lupin's fangs.

"Don't worry, Lupin. They are just here to witness the full moon ceremony." Ivy introduced Lupin, "Cassandra Wallace, your former student and my warlock, and this is Fleur Delacour, the warrior of Beauxbatons and my girlfriend." "Hello, Professor Lupin." Cassandra nodded and greeted them, then looked at the other people in the camp.

Lupin nodded to Cassandra, and then said helplessly: "There are not many full moon werewolves left here... and those with lycanthropy are not suitable for close contact with those who are prejudiced... Although we have to count a certain number of people every day to ensure that those compatriots who have not undergone the full moon ceremony stay in the camp..."

"Wait!" Furong raised her voice to attract attention. "What on earth is going on? He is completely different from the werewolves I learned about in textbooks! How can they be rational? And speak clearly?!"

"Because Beauxbatons needs to update the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook." Lupin grinned, but his smile only made Fleur shudder.

"Remember what our purpose was when we first entered the Forbidden Forest?" Ivy also asked with a smile, "The Remus Lupin standing in front of you is the noble purpose I achieved by using dark magic."

"I didn't know you used the Dark Arts to heal me." Lupin twitched his nose, reminiscent of a loyal canine. "Will you bring them both to witness our full moon ceremony?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Ivy said lightly.

"The food in our camp is not as rich as in the castle." Lupin laughed, "But I can guarantee that you will be treated kindly here. Olivia has gone out hunting with two good guys, and they will bring back enough prey, usually deer."

"Can you explain it in more detail? I can't believe it..." The shock and confusion on Furong's face did not disappear, and now there was a bit of confusion.

"Thanks to Professor Lupin's voluntary dedication, I used my knowledge of flesh magic and curses to transform the lycanthropy curse into a genetic factor that can coexist with the magic in wizards' bodies." Ivy explained, "As long as they are transformed through the full moon ceremony, they will be freed from their bestiality and the madness of the moon and gain true freedom."

"That's right, now we call ourselves - Full Moon Werewolves." Lupin turned back into the image of the elegant wizard and said with a smile. The Full Moon Werewolves are now very proud, and their psychological state is completely different from that of the past when they were willing to hide in the corner.

"And in this state, our bite will not turn the victim into a werewolf in the traditional sense." Lupin continued, "Eliminating the lycanthropy curse is a matter of imminent time."

"Everything you just said... is it true?" Furong was still a little skeptical. "Why haven't I heard any rumors? Such a big thing should have spread throughout the international magic community long ago, right?"

"It's not just the British wizarding world. The international wizarding world you know is a rather rigid society. It has never been ready to welcome a race that has an equal status with wizards, even though we are originally part of the wizarding world." Lupin laughed disdainfully. "We have been active in the British wizarding world in an organized manner for a whole year, and the most concerned issue in the newspapers is still the Quidditch World Cup, and now it is the Triwizard Tournament. Fudge refuses to face up to our existence, and is unwilling to allow our activities to expand to other countries on the European continent."

"But you can rest assured, Miss Delacour, everything you see now is real. It won't be long before we let the whole world face the existence of full moon werewolves, whether they are excited or panicked about it."
