Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

It's a position with a formal job and a salary.

Although the salary isn't much, raising house-elves doesn't cost much money.

Its main function is to act as a dignity amplifier.

With Dobby's affair over, Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up his luggage and, with a look of grief and indignation, walked toward the Hogwarts Express parked in the nearby village of Hogsmeade, as if his uncle had died.

Meanwhile, Kane and Lupin were in the headmaster's office with Dumbledore, and the three of them worked on a plan together.

He pondered why the statue Kane made for Lupin last time didn't work and came to a conclusion.

In Eternal Realm, Woody uses monster meat to create tacky statues that can control his own curse, because monster meat in Eternal Realm doesn't have a specific classification.

Everything dropped by monsters is monster meat.

But the real world is different. In the real world, if you want to create a tacky statue to actively control your own curse, you definitely need more authoritative raw materials.

For example... replace the raw materials with werewolf meat.

He genuinely believed this method was highly authoritative.

"So what do you think of my suggestion?" Kane asked, raising an eyebrow as he explained his simulation to Lupin and Dumbledore.

"Um..." For some reason, Lupin suddenly felt that asking Kane for help in this matter might not be a good choice.

Finally, Dumbledore coughed slowly and said, "It's like this, Kane. Although werewolves don't have a high status in the wizarding world, they are still still considered human."

Kane nodded slowly: "If we can't kill the wolves, I have other ways."

He slowly leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. In response to Lupin's situation, he had chosen a cheating and efficient method.

It's like learning by analogy. What's the principle behind Woody's transformation in Eternal Realm? Well, firstly, his transformation is the same as Lupin's transformation; both of them transform on the night of a full moon.

Therefore, Woody's curse can also be described as the curse of the moon.

However, Woody seemed to reach a reconciliation with the moon later on. At first, Kane was completely confused, only feeling that Woody had suddenly become the moon's favorite good boy overnight.

This strange situation, which he was forced to confront, didn't become clear until he later experienced a series of absurd and ridiculous events and sat on the Shadow Toilet for two days.

It seems that Woody, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has betrayed the shadows, packing up all the shadowy affinity he once had and giving it all to the moon as food.

Ah, although it's not entirely accurate to say he betrayed the Shadow, since the Shadow's Shadow Creatures were beating Woody up 24/7 every day... Overall, the betrayal was the right thing to do.

So the basic approach to solving Lupin's problem has been found: find the moon, along with the moon's will, and then let Lupin have a good talk with the moon.

After all, he is a god, and as long as Lupin approaches him and makes a request, he has no reason to refuse.

After all, the moon in the Eternal Realm didn't refuse; otherwise, why would it allow Woody to be friendly with him?

What's the point? Is it because Woody is old? Or because Woody has a long beard? Surely the moon isn't some kind of Furious fanatic.

Wait... no!

Kane suddenly realized that when the full moon shone on Woody in the Eternal Realm, it would turn him into an animal-man... that is, a goose, a beaver, and a deer.

In reality, when the full moon shines on an unlucky guy like Lupin, it can turn him into a hairy werewolf.

so...

hiss.........

Kane seems to have discovered a shocking secret!

So, would the Moon really allow the loss of a cute, fluffy creature?

Well, let's play three rounds anyway, whether we have the chance or not!

"Let's wait until tonight; I need to use the school's astronomical tower."

After Kane finished speaking, he looked at Lupin, who seemed a little hesitant, raised his eyebrows, and explained in the simplest terms: "I need to look at the moon and use some magical abilities to let you try to connect with it. Then we can do a lot, such as making the moon like you, so that you won't have to transform on the night of the full moon in the future."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little hungry and thought it was time to go to the kitchen and get some meat.

As Kane left the headmaster's office, Lupin slowly spoke up: "Communicating with the moon? Is that some kind of special magic?"

Dumbledore shrugged helplessly: "It could also be a special talent. From what I've observed, Kane can even communicate with the shadows."

"Shadow? That black... I thought it was a family-inherited dark magic!" Lupin said absentmindedly, recalling Kane's bizarre magic at the circus.

“Yes, Shadow.” Dumbledore nodded, stamping his foot on the ground. “I still don’t know how he did it, and what I understand even less is… Shadow…”

Dumbledore didn't know how to say or describe this last sentence.

The shadows actually have consciousness? That description isn't entirely accurate, but some shadows did appear around Kane attempting to attack him, though saying they had consciousness might not be entirely accurate.

Those dazed and confused shadow monsters were more like chaos than consciousness.

"So you were actually watching me?" Dumbledore asked slowly, leaning against the window, watching the sunset cast his long shadow on the wall opposite his office.

It's like asking a shadow.

"Professor Dumbledore, I think that must be Kane's own talent, right? You want to replicate it?" Lupin asked with some surprise, he was a little confused about Dumbledore's actions at this moment.

Dumbledore shrugged at Lupin: "Of course I know, but what if my shadow is actually conscious? Let's try to trick it."

Lupin: "........."

Chapter 156 Luna's Glasses

Unlike Dumbledore and Lupin, who engage in some perplexing behavior in the Headmaster's office... aha...

Only Dumbledore, not Lupin, engages in confusing behavior.

In short, unlike the farce in the principal's office, Kane was really focused as he walked toward the kitchen, and then he watched Lockhart with packages of all sizes floating behind him as he walked downstairs.

"Hello Lockhart, how does it feel to finish work?" Kane asked, raising an eyebrow behind Lockhart. He looked at this guy who couldn't even use spells properly before becoming a professor, but after a semester of private tutoring from Dumbledore, he was already able to fool a fifth-year wizard through the entire course on dark magic.

This kind of progress is truly due to talent.

"Yeah, not bad. When I get back, I can finally release my new book... a completely original book!"

Lockhart looked at Kane walking beside him, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

Well, while his initial interaction with Kane wasn't exactly positive, and Dumbledore definitely spent more time with Lockhart throughout the term, it's fair to say that Lockhart had a truly respectable friend at Hogwarts who wouldn't stab him in the back or secretly look down on him...

It really must be Kane... Oh, right, Kane wouldn't secretly look down on himself from the bottom of his heart. From the first moment he realized his incompetent state, he didn't really consider himself a human being.

But people are strange like that. For example, Lockhart now actually feels that Kane has a bit of honesty, so there is trust and friendship.

Based on this friendship, Lockhart decided to tell Kane what he wanted to say... After all, every writer has the desire to confide, otherwise they wouldn't have embarked on this path.

And Kane, true to form, struck up a conversation with a friendly question: "Have you finished your first original book? What role do I play in it?"

Lockhart pursed his lips somewhat awkwardly: "Do you know Sherlock and Watson? You are the most important partner of the great Lockhart, and of course, I am also your most important partner."

"Hmm, I'll write to you next time I encounter any life-threatening danger."

“Ah…” Lockhart paused awkwardly for a moment, then Kane waved his hand even more impolitely and said something hurtful.

"Don't worry, I won't. I wouldn't carry a burden when doing something important and dangerous. Wouldn't that be like asking for trouble? More than your book, I'm curious about your previous victims."

Lockhart's expression was somewhat unnatural: "You're talking about the real people behind those stories. You mean I should compensate them?"

"I have no right to say that." Kane shrugged, but looking at Lockhart, who had taken the initiative to make things clear, he was somewhat surprised to find that this bumbling professor was actually quite human.

"What do you think of a quarter of the royalties? That's definitely a very considerable income, and I think it's enough for them, considering they don't have my writing ability... If this story were given to them, it would only become something they brag about in the Leaky Cauldron, but if it's given to me..."

Kane moved a little further away from Lockhart with some reluctance, but it seemed that Lockhart had long intended to compensate the victims, but had not yet made up his mind.

I mentioned it to myself today, and I actually decided to do it... It's personification, but sadly, I unconsciously used his ability to boast again.

"A master at writing pretentious stories." Kane commented, looking at Lockhart walking ahead with his half-moon eyes. Suddenly, with a click, a pair of glasses with red and blue lenses and a four-finger-sized frame fell off the large bag Lockhart was carrying.

"Hmm? These glasses?" Kane reached out, and Shadow handed him the glasses.

Lockhart also heard the sound, stopped his self-praise, stood up, and looked at the glasses in Kane's hand: "Ah, these belong to Luna, the first-year witch you know very well."

"What's wrong with these glasses? Are they magic glasses?" Kane frowned and subconsciously put the glasses on his face.

Then his expression went blank and he broke down.

"My hair?"

While Kane was still bewildered, Lockhart continued his incessant chatter...

"That's how it is. I figured I should get some souvenirs since I taught for a whole semester. And the first-year wizards were perfect. I was their first professor, and they were my first group of students. So I found a reason to confiscate something from each of them as a memento."

After Lockhart finished speaking, he looked at Kane again, only to find that Kane was now wearing the anti-demon glasses that Lockhart had confiscated from Luna, and his expression was one of utter shock.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Kane took off his glasses in a daze. The reason he was so shocked was not for anything else, but because when he put on the anti-demon glasses, he saw something that could never possibly exist in the real world.

A fleeting moon spirit—that's something that only appears on Moon Island in the Eternal Realm... Although there are some connections between the real world and the Eternal Realm, which he was prepared for, these glasses...

No, I need to stop eating and go find Luna to get to the bottom of this.

And so, Lockhart watched as Kane, who seemed like a completely different person after putting on his glasses, quickly took off his hat and pulled out a mantis shrimp from inside.

He already knew what Kane was going to do: chase the train.

But here's the question: are those glasses he confiscated so casually really that important? And are Kane and Luna really that close?

Did I accidentally offend Kane?

I can't possibly wake up one day and find my hat gone, that Kane dug it up and made it into a hat, can I?

Unlike the abstract ideas in Lockhart's head, he was very polite with his mouth.

"Fly slower, don't crash the train... and don't crash into some little wizard!" Lockhart watched Kane, who had already turned into a streak of black and gray light and was flying away towards the Hogwarts Express in the distance, wondering if Kane could even hear him.

After flying for about a minute, Kane finally caught up with the little train, which was called an express train but was actually very slow, on his broom. He casually controlled his shadow to forcefully pry open a carriage window and flew straight in.

Ignoring his surprised classmate Kane, he immediately started the main quest and quickly found Luna in a train car.

The moment he took out the anti-demon glasses, Luna inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I'd never see them again... Can you give them back to me?"

“These are yours,” Kane said, placing the glasses on the small table in the carriage. Then he continued, “May I ask you a question? Where did these glasses come from?”

“My mom made them,” Luna replied, taking the glasses and putting them on.

"I remember your mother wasn't..."

“Yes, because of a terrible magical experiment.” Luna nodded, showing no sign of being hurt.

Kane realized this as well, but the fact that the anti-demon glasses could see the Moon Spirit of the Eternal Realm was too important. Before he could finish organizing his thoughts, he subconsciously used very straightforward language to say what he meant.
