From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 335 Moon Face Magic Unlimited Company

The werewolves' full moon ceremony was a complete success, as Lupin had become a very skilled ritual master.

Looking at the werewolves hugging and crying in the moonlight, howling at the full moon together, Furong's only remaining doubts disappeared.

"...You're right, Ivy. This is a kind of nobility that I, a shallow person, cannot comprehend. You really used black magic to save these people..." Furong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she was eating roasted venison in the werewolf camp before, she seemed reserved and vigilant, but now, she empathized more with the joy of these werewolves gaining new life.

"You are a kind girl, Miss Delacour." Lupin, in werewolf form, came to the people who were watching the full moon ceremony. "Not many people can look at people with lycanthropy squarely, let alone have sympathy for us. I wish there were more wizards like you in the world."

"...There will be." Furong said with a smile, "There will always be people who yearn for truth, goodness and beauty."

"But the prejudice in people's minds is like a mountain. If we want to remove it, we can't just rely on the Full Moon Werewolves as a minority group." Ivy waved his hand and conjured up dozens of clean and well-fitting clothes, and cast a magic that could automatically adjust their size. "You also know that the Full Moon Werewolves have been active in the British wizarding world for more than a year, but they haven't caused any splashes in the international wizarding community."

"Thanks for the clothes, Ivy." Lupin called Olivia and asked her to deliver the clothes that Ivy had just transformed to the werewolves running naked in the moonlight. "It's not easy to find a wizard who can cast magic on clothes. Even the one I'm wearing is an old style made a long time ago. We now use very large robes as a replacement, or we don't touch transformation at all. But after all, we are still human beings, and it always feels weird without clothes."

"The Full Moon Werewolves can be said to be a new race, and you have too many problems to solve." Ivy was not surprised by this. The dual forms of the Full Moon Werewolves made clothing their primary problem, and as wizards, the changes in their bodies also caused some people to no longer fit their original wands. If only Lupin became a Full Moon Werewolf, these problems could be solved, but now an entire Full Moon Werewolf settlement will appear. If there is no suitable community and supporting facilities, the possibility of conflict with the wizarding society is almost inevitable.

Over the past year and a half, the total number of Full Moon Werewolves has been increasing, and dissatisfaction with the British Ministry of Magic is accumulating rapidly. They originally believed that they were discriminated against because of the lycanthropy curse, but now this curse, which is regarded as an ominous disease, is no longer contagious. The newly born Full Moon Werewolves believe that they are complete and healthy humans, but the discrimination against them by the wizarding society has not stopped. As their number continues to grow, this dissatisfaction is likely to become a torrent of public opinion, turning the Full Moon Werewolves into a radical and violent group.

Lupin had seen this possibility a long time ago and tried his best to avoid it, but the rigidity and stubbornness shown by the British Ministry of Magic in this matter made him lower his expectations of wizards again and again. His kindness made it impossible for him to watch those lycanthropes suffer, but the most terrifying thing was to let these people who thought they had gained a new life step into another hell full of opposition and discrimination.

Lupin believes that he must take responsibility to enable all full moon werewolves to become self-reliant and return to normal social life.

If Lupin alone, who is a werewolf, had to do this, it would certainly be difficult to accomplish.

But fortunately, he had a few friends who were willing to die for him, and these friends had an omnipotent creditor.

These days, those who owe money are the boss, so Ivy had to help out with some ideas, which led to this meeting in the Forbidden Forest.

The original meeting time was after the full moon ceremony, but Furong's request gave Ivy the opportunity to arrive early.

"Remus! You're so conspicuous standing in the moonlight!" Lupin's familiar voice came from the Forbidden Forest. It was Sirius and Mr. White, as well as Sirius's brother, Regulus, who had just returned from death.

These people are one of the reasons why Ivy is here now.

As their creditor, Ivy allowed them to use the remaining assets of the Black family as start-up capital to set up a profitable company to repay the debt. At the same time, because of their status as members of the Order of the Phoenix, this company would be able to obtain some information that ordinary wizards could hardly access.

As one of the essential means of making profits in the capital world, information asymmetry will be fully utilized by them, and the full moon werewolves now gathered in the forbidden forest will be the best employees of this company that has not yet been established.

"Black! And White!" Lupin in werewolf form hugged his two good friends and nodded to Regulus who was standing there.

"When did you start calling me 'Black'?" Sirius punched Lupin in the stomach in dissatisfaction, but could only grit his teeth and rub the back of his hand that was sore from the shock.

"When you stand next to 'White', these two last names together are really hard to resist saying." The werewolf was not polite at all.

"This is so unfair." Mr. White couldn't help but shake his head and sigh every time he saw Lupin in werewolf form. "You were the weakest among us back then. Look at all the muscles on your body now. They're about to explode."

"Mr. Doom." Regulus, who also nodded in response to Lupin's greeting, was the first to greet Ivy. "Who are these two ladies--"

"Fleur Delacour, my girlfriend." Ivy raised her clasped hands and patted Cassandra on the shoulder. "This is Cassandra Wallace, my bondmaster."

"Contract magician?" Several people present did not quite understand the meaning of this word.

"You can think of Cassandra as the agent of my will. If something happens when you can't find me for a while, Cassandra can represent me." Ivy was not interested in explaining the meaning of "Battle Chain" and the relationship between the sect master and the contract magician to everyone, so he changed to a simpler way of saying it.

When she heard "Cassandra can fully represent me", the blond warlock cast an unspeakable look at the silver-haired half-Veela, who responded with a smile.

“I see.” Although Regulus didn’t quite understand why an underage student could become the spokesperson for Ivy’s will, he still nodded seriously.

"Enough of the reminiscence, Sirius." Regulus interrupted Sirius who was stroking Lupin's fur, "It's time to get down to business."

"You should be more polite when you talk to me! Am I not your brother?" Sirius said dissatisfiedly. The relationship between them brothers always makes it difficult for outsiders to judge, making it unclear whether they have a bad relationship or a close relationship.

"Okay, my stupid brother." Regulus casually pulled out a roll of parchment from his pocket. "I have collected information on various large companies in the British wizarding world through various channels. There are very few blank areas. If we want to expand the company's business and scale in a short period of time, we must find a field that no one has ventured into before, or have core competitiveness that far exceeds other similar products in a highly competitive field. This is my report, Mr. Doom." Unlike Sirius, the prodigal son, Regulus is a very serious and responsible person. His experience as a Slytherin also makes his methods much more shrewd than the straightforward Gryffindor.

Ivy unfolded the parchment and examined it, and asked, "I remember suggesting at the Quidditch World Cup that you go find those two pranksters from the Weasley family. They have some ideas for joke products. What was the result?"

"Well... I must say that Molly doesn't quite agree with her two sons engaging in such speculation." Sirius shrugged and said, "But I like them both very much. Their cleverness is quite similar to when we were in school!"

"Since when did a famous robber start to care about the other party's mother's opinion?" Regulus said sarcastically, "I thought you would go directly to find those two children."

"Yes, it is precisely because we know that they are both just children and cannot decide their own future that we seek Molly's opinion." Sirius was not surprised by Regulus' sarcasm.

"I'm afraid they don't like the life that they can predict at a glance." Ivy turned the parchment back a page, "and they have a lot of ideas for making joke products. Calling them geniuses is an insult to them."

"Okay." White and Black looked at each other. "Maybe we should write them a letter?"

"In my opinion, the company we are about to establish can use the production of magic props as its main selling point, especially those innovative magic props with practical uses." Ivy nodded and returned the parchment to Regulus. "Fred and George's joke products can exist as our sub-products. We can even allow them to have their own brand."

"We haven't started writing yet. Isn't it a little too early to talk about this now?" Mr. White couldn't help asking.

"They will agree, because they both have an urgent need to change the current living conditions of the Weasley family. Moreover, this is also a great step for them to achieve self-realization. They just lack start-up capital." Ivy snapped his fingers, and the uneven ground immediately turned into a ground that only a master could cut. Tables and chairs with exquisite details appeared on the ground, and a bright oil lamp replaced the moonlight as the light source for everyone.

In addition, there were some drinks on the round table. In addition to the sweet white wine that Ivy inherited from Nicolas Flamel, there were also butter beer and Ogden aged fire whiskey that were popular among wizards.

"...It seems to be true," Sirius pulled out a chair and sat down first, pouring himself a glass of Firewhisky. "I remember that the two of them participated in a bet with very high odds in the Quidditch World Cup final, which was hosted by Bagman. In the end, they lost completely and even lost the very interesting fake wand. I want to buy one from them to play with."

"So if you want to get in touch with them, you might as well bring Mr. Weasley and have a drink with them at the Three Broomsticks Tavern during the weekend in Hogsmeade, Hogwarts. Mr. Weasley will agree with their plan. Besides, you are all companions of the Order of the Phoenix, and he will be confident in leaving the children's business to you." Ivy knocked on the table, and the noble rot sweet white wine flew up automatically, pouring a glass of wine for Fleur and Cassandra respectively, and then the glass in front of him.

"That sounds like a good suggestion." Mr. White nodded, "Besides, Arthur is their parent as well."

"What do you think about magic products, Mr. Doom?" Regulus asked about the company's main product while holding a glass of butterbeer in his hand. "If we want to make this kind of product our main business, then the biggest problem is where to find skilled craftsmen. Moreover, if we don't have a price advantage, it will be difficult for our company to be competitive enough."

"From another perspective, the products we want to focus on are props that have never appeared in the world and are difficult to imitate. I have inherited Nicolas Flamel's legacy and will organize his core alchemy ideas into a practical fool's manual. As long as they follow the steps to cast spells, all Hogwarts graduates can become our craftsmen. Moreover, after simple training, even werewolves can easily learn it. You can think of this as a magical enlightenment for those compatriots who have never been to school, Lupin." Ivy said that he already had a solution.

Lupin nodded his huge wolf head, sighed and said, "But the wand is a big problem."

"Perhaps we can try to use your transformed hair as the wand core." Ivy thought this problem was not difficult to solve. "Although Ollivander has always adhered to his principle of three traditional wand cores, he should make an exception for special people like you. If he disagrees, or his refusal is not firm, then tell him that I have some ideas about wands from Nicolas Flamel. The best case scenario is that he can accept one or two clever werewolf apprentices, and then the werewolves' wands can be made by their own people."

"Nicolas Flamel's alchemical manuscript?" Furong waited for a long time and finally had time to ask the question that had been on her lips for a long time, "The reason why I was able to see you in Paris that time was because you went to receive his inheritance?"

"This is another secret of mine. I did inherit Nicolas Flamel's legacy, including everything he didn't give to anyone else." Ivy showed off in a low-key manner. As a master of alchemy, Nicolas could be said to be Ivy's alchemy enlightener. Although he had just started, it was easy for him to summarize the production principles of some simple and effective alchemical products.

After all, when he was still on Earth, he was a small town test-taker who was best at summarizing and generalizing.

"We may be the first company in the wizarding world to employ full moon werewolves!" Sirius said with a smile, "Let's give our company a name!"

"Why not call him 'Moon Face'?" Mr. White suggested jokingly.

"Don't be like that..." Lupin waved his hand, "That sounds like a company made up entirely of werewolves... The British Ministry of Magic might come to cause trouble."

"Political struggle is also a link we cannot miss. Fighting for a legal and non-discriminatory status for the Full Moon Werewolves can be considered our short-term goal." Ivy offered his own suggestions.

"Is this the short-term goal?" Sirius couldn't help but ask. Everyone else at the round table thought this was already hellishly difficult. "What is the long-term goal?"

"The long-term goal is to let the whole world feel the beauty brought by magic." Ivy showed a rich smile, "Making money is just a means to maintain this company. You all know that I am not short of gold."

"so--"

"Let's call this company 'Moon Face Magic Unlimited Company'."

　Wahhhhhhhhh…I’m going to cry! I hate Kaven so much!
