Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

This feeling of being cut at the speed of light...

Kane was somewhat embarrassed to watch. Had Lupin really angered the Moon?

My own Mooncaller... oh, that one has successfully upgraded.

Kane walked to the platform and pulled out the Mooncaller's Wand.

Thanks to the fact that Shadow and Moon are a pair of star-crossed lovers who love and hate each other, and Moon Summoner's Wand is the epitome of Moon's power, it also exudes a sense of resistance to itself from the inside out.

But this is perfect for Kane.

To be honest, what he's best at is giving his resistant "white moonlight" a little bit of a powerful, overwhelming shock.

Just as he wrapped the entire Mooncaller's Wand in layers of shadow and stuffed it into the Shadow Codex, before Kane could even comfort himself, another exclamation made him instinctively turn around.

Ah, so it's Lu Ping shirtless in the middle of the night! Young people have so much energy...

Wait... in the middle of the night?

Kane glanced at the full moon high in the sky, then at Lupin...

hiss......

This is very strange, yet it also makes perfect sense!

Chapter 165 Sirius Black Escapes from Prison

Dumbledore looked at Lupin with a strange expression: "You succeeded?"

The latter shook his head, looking completely bewildered: "I don't remember? It was just that suddenly... I turned back."

While everyone else was marveling at Lupin's incredible success, Kane suddenly had a somewhat immature idea...

If the moon in the Eternal Realm needs to find a power vessel in the real world, then the moon in the real world can only be considered superficially reliable.

Its carrier must be the Mooncaller's Wand... so is it possible that...?

Kane took out his demon-proof goggles from inside his hat and looked up at the moon in the sky. At this moment, the moon was just the moon, without that hazy veil, and he could not see any huge eyeballs.

Then he pulled the Mooncaller's Wand, which was wrapped in layers of shadow, from his own shadow. He peeled away the shadow and saw that, sure enough, the eyeball was looking at him with lively curiosity from inside the gem of the Mooncaller's Wand.

"Ah, I never thought I'd be this close to you in my life, huh?" Kane raised an eyebrow, greeted the moon, and then put the Mooncaller's Wand away again.

He not only confirmed the transfer of the moon's power carrier, but he also checked whether Lupin had really solved his strange little problem.

For example, is it possible that the Mooncaller's wand was put away by himself, which freed him from the werewolf's curse?

Obviously not, because Lupin had just taken out the Mooncaller's Wand, and he was still acting as if nothing had happened.

So Lupin probably did reach some kind of cooperation with the Moon... Of course, this is unlikely. It's more likely that Lupin annoyed the Moon with his tears and snot, which is why the Moon withdrew his little bit of Fortune power.

At the same time, fearing that other werewolves would also know how easygoing he was, he erased Lupin's memory as well.

After piecing together the truth of the matter in his mind, Kane raised an eyebrow. What could he say?

As expected of you, Moon.

While Kane was brainstorming, Dumbledore had already finished negotiating with the centaurs. After being charged with the power of the moon, the platform emitting a faint blue light remained in the centaur tribe.

The Mooncaller's wand and the two-legged creature himself left the centaur tribe, taking the opportunity to admire the centaurs' generosity.

“Well then, we should head back... Oh, by the way, Lupin, do you have any other werewolf friends?” Frenzel suddenly spoke up after Dumbledore finished speaking and was about to follow them out to see them off.

"My people allowed you to come to the tribe this time because of the platform's enhancement; they won't agree next time."

Dumbledore nodded: "Of course, we have no ambition to cure all werewolves in the world. We just want to see if other werewolves will also be freed from this terrible curse because of what happened today."

Kane's expression slowly turned into an abstract and unpleasant smile. He remained patient until they were escorted out of the centaurs' territory by Ferrenzer, and only after leaving the Forbidden Forest did he slowly speak: "The situation you described may not be Dumbledore's. Although the power of the moon has entered the Mooncaller's wand, the platform still retains some residual power."

Dumbledore nodded. He was initially surprised by Kane's incredibly slow reaction time before he realized, "Wait, you mean, the remnant?"

Kane nodded: "That's right. If we consider the Centaur tribe's platform as a power generator, the moon used to provide it with a continuous supply of raw materials to generate energy. But now, the raw materials have gone into my wand, so the platform is now just a fading flame and a pot with some residual heat."

Dumbledore nodded. Such things certainly couldn't be heard by the centaurs, but he still asked, "How long is this remnant?"

"About two or three hundred years? So for at least the next two or three hundred years, the werewolf curse will still be a problem," Kane said with a shrug.

Realizing he had unknowingly caused the centaurs a lot of trouble, Hagrid awkwardly stroked his beard, wondering if he should go back and apologize.

Dumbledore keenly sensed Hagrid's thoughts and quickly persuaded Hagrid to abandon his immature idea.

"If you want to be caught and roasted by those angry centaurs."

Hagrid sincerely rejected the suggestion that came from his conscience. It was just a sacred object, after all. He had never heard of anything magical about the Centaur tribe's platform before. Now that the platform had gained three or four hundred years of lunar power, the Centaurs were definitely the ones who benefited.

No problem, no problem...

Hagrid managed to lull himself to sleep with the "no problem" excuse, since he was always among the top moralists. However, the others clearly didn't have such high moral standards. For example, Kane slept the best, while Dumbledore and Lupin were the only ones who didn't fall asleep.

However, it was definitely not for any other reason, but because they started haggling over the contract for Defense Against the Dark Arts in the principal's office.

Lupin felt his salary was too high and should be reduced appropriately, while Dumbledore's salary was paid by the Board of Trustees, so why should he save money?

After a prolonged stalemate, Dumbledore emerged victorious.

However, this is also a good thing, because when Kane woke up, he found a huge pile of gifts next to his dormitory.

The gifts inside were all chocolates.

Kane glanced at the signature with some curiosity...

Ah, it was Lupin who sent it. It seems that he has escaped the werewolf curse and found Dumbledore to give him an advance on his wages, and then gave him a bunch of gifts that he considers very practical... which means they are edible.

After seeing the label on the chocolates, he probably understood why Lupin was so poor. A Hogwarts professor's salary was only a little over three hundred gallons a month, yet he spent over two hundred gallons on these chocolates...

And why does he think he would like chocolate? Have I ever eaten it in front of him?

Kane tore open a bag of chocolates with a puzzled look, threw it into his mouth and crunched away. There were hazelnuts too! Great!

When he was getting a little tired of eating chocolate and was about to go to the auditorium to get some fruit to cleanse his palate, he happened to see Lupin, who should have been as happy as ever after the werewolf curse was lifted, but at this moment his brows were furrowed in a frightening way.

"What's wrong? Has the werewolf curse returned?" Kane asked.

“I’d rather it be like that…” Lupin pulled out a magical wanted poster that was automatically delivered to every wizarding stronghold without requiring a subscription.

Sirius Black... has escaped from prison.

Chapter 166: The part about getting so angry that you explode

In an instant, the atmosphere at the entire table fell into an eerie silence. Kane frowned as he looked at Hagrid's strange and pale face, wondering if he should try to fit in.

For example... smoothing out the smile that had risen from eating chocolate, he gasped, "This is terrifying! Sirius Black actually escaped from prison..."

However, after he finished speaking, no one else at the table responded, so he had no choice but to continue, "So who is he?"

Seeing the stares from those around him, he shrugged helplessly: "Is that so strange? Have you all forgotten that I'm a Muggle wizard?"

Felch left early because he didn't want to eat at the same table as Kane, so now there are only three people left at the table besides Kane.

Now, these three people look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Dumbledore slowly spoke: "Back then, Harry's parents fought on the front lines against Tom. When Lily became pregnant, the Order of the Phoenix, which is a small society that I personally founded, felt that three vibrant lives should not continue to be exposed to danger. So I used a spell called the Faithful Charm to protect them."

Kane then roughly understood what Dumbledore meant. In almost all cultural works, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, whenever there is such a starting point, the subsequent plot development is generally similar.

Besides the person being protected, the Charm of Loyalty also requires a keeper of secrets, and that keeper is Sirius Black. What happened next can be learned by Kane himself if he skips a few classes of History of Magic.

Sirius Black betrayed the Potters, resulting in Harry inheriting a large fortune ahead of schedule and being burdened with the fate of fighting against the forces of darkness... oh, and to top it all off, he was also an orphan...

So Harry's true identity is Bruce Wayne?

Kane leaned back in his chair. Although his good brother's unfortunate past was laid bare before him, he knew he shouldn't laugh out loud.

But just as people might have a destructive urge when they see something cute, hearing sad things can also cause them to unconsciously think of abstract things and curl up their lips due to emotional distress, to the point that he slowly covered his mouth with both hands.

Dumbledore glanced at Kane's strange expression and patted him on the shoulder with a hint of helplessness: "Laugh if you want to. When I first heard that bad news, I was just like you, I couldn't stop laughing. Of course, I laughed at my own stupidity."

“Well, I guess I was laughing from the bottom of my heart. I don’t think this is a bad thing for Harry. At least he now has the chance to take revenge on his enemies himself.” Kane awkwardly lowered his hand from his mouth, and his expression returned to normal.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at Kane, who had a serious expression on his face: "Judging from your expression, what else do you want to do?"

“Me?” Kane pointed to himself. “Of course I was helping to hold his head down.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ping, who seemed to be pondering some profound meaning in life. His mind was racing, and finally he came up with something that both hemispheres agreed with.

Harry is in danger!

Kane popped a grape into his mouth: "So, can you tell us something nobody knows? Which semester didn't Harry encounter danger?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly picked up a grape and threw it in a direction not far away. With a thud, the grape hit the air and bounced back.

"Are house-elves allowed to eavesdrop on wizards' conversations under their magical contracts?" Kane looked at Dobby, who had dispelled the invisibility spell, and then at Dumbledore with some doubt.

“It’s allowed, but you can’t tell anyone.” Dumbledore said, then looked at the restless Dobby: “Looks like you want to go on a business trip?”

Dobby kept fidgeting with his two fingers behind his back, but the moment he heard Dumbledore say that, he nodded sharply: "Dobby is going to protect Harry Potter."

Kane secretly kicked Dumbledore under the table. To be honest, sending Dobby to protect Harry was more like handing a knife to that guy named Sirius Black.

Thirteen years ago, Dumbledore laughed at himself for appointing Sirius Black as the Secret Keeper. This time, he'll probably laugh at himself for sending Dobby out to protect Harry.

This behavior was entirely driven by the fear that Harry's health bar was too high and Sirius's attack power wouldn't be enough, so they sent Dobby ahead to whittle down Harry's health bar before Sirius could finish him off.

After being kicked by Kane, Dumbledore realized what was happening and looked at Dobby apologetically: "I don't think we need you to step in this time, Dobby."

Dobby lowered his head, looking dejected.

Kane, who saved Harry from danger, decided to keep his achievements hidden and continued eating his breakfast.

Then he felt like he was being stared at by two pairs of eyes.

He slowly brought over a plate of noodles, picking them into his mouth as he spoke, "Tell me, what other filthy and rotten ideas have you come up with this time?"

Lupin slowly revealed a mysterious smile.

“Seriously…” Kane was now sitting on a large tree trunk, looking at Lupin sitting next to him with that mysterious smile: “I feel a little uncomfortable looking at your smile now. I’ve thought about it. Your plan is to take Harry out of the Dursleys’ house and bring him back to Hogwarts, the Weasleys’ house, or at the very least, any wizarding community.”

Kane took a deep breath and patted Lupin heavily on the shoulder: "But I never expected that the plan you mentioned was for the two of us to leave Hogwarts and then settle down in the tree at Aunt Harry's house... Can you tell me what you were thinking?"

Seeing that Kane was clearly unwilling, Lupin quickly comforted him, "Protecting Harry is easy, but we can't protect him forever, right? We need to capture Sirius Black, that way we can solve the problem once and for all. So, using Harry as bait and having the two of us keep an eye on him is absolutely necessary."

"Hmm, for example? With something as big as Black's prison break, the Aurors would definitely be hiding here to protect Harry. Why would they need the two of us to fish?" Kane rolled his eyes, somewhat regretting coming out to join Lupin in this fun.

Lupin fell silent, unsure whether he should tell Kane something he had originally intended to keep to himself, something he didn't even want to tell Dumbledore.
