Lupine did not deny his worries. After all, Levin's performance in the Goblet of Fire, the strength he showed now, and his public attitude towards Voldemort all made him worried.

What concerned him even more was that Penello brought him here to show Levine's sphere of influence like a tour.

Those heavily armed guards, giants, and even a television station—that's all Levin's property.

All of this convinced Lupine that Levin definitely had some ulterior purpose.

The return of Voldemort is a definite fact, but Fudge, the Minister of Magic, still chooses to turn a blind eye; his own affairs have caused subtle changes in the attitude of the school directors towards Dumbledore, leaving the great principal in an isolated and helpless situation. situation.

In this precarious moment, Dumbledore still maintained calmness and restraint, asking the Order of the Phoenix not to act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy.

However, if Levingreen really chooses to cause trouble at this time... Lupine dare not think about it any further.

Levin seemed to see Lupine's worries and doubts.

He took a few steps forward and asked softly:"Professor Lupin, why do you think werewolves suffer such harm in wizard society?"

Lupine frowned. He frowned, looking at Levin's deep eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Although he and Levin have known each other for a long time, the other's thoughts have always been so elusive.

Levin was not a person who would discriminate against werewolves, Lupine was sure of this.

So what is the purpose of asking him as a werewolf?

Lupine took a deep breath and tried his best to answer this question from the perspective of a bystander:"Is it because werewolves caused the death of many innocent victims? Or is it because their existence itself threatens the wizarding society? Stability and harmony?"

Levin shook his head slightly and rejected Lupin's answer:"Far more victims die at the hands of dark wizards every year than at the mouths of werewolves. Many of them are victims. The merchandise counter lying in Knockturn Alley is being sold as products. But even a half-giant like Hagrid will visit Knockturn Alley from time to time. In fact, using magic to take a person's life is more difficult than what you use. Teeth and claws are much easier."

Lupine frowned slightly, followed the meaning of Levin's words, and asked tentatively:"Are you saying that the discrimination that werewolves suffer in wizard society is mainly because of us? Is it contagious?"

Levin nodded and affirmed:"Yes, Professor Lupin. Ordinary wizards have a much harsher attitude towards werewolves than they do towards humanoid creatures such as vampires, goblins, and Veela. And this Everything is because werewolves are contagious."

Lupine did not speak, but listened quietly to Levin's explanation. The other party's words touched on a deep-seated problem in wizard society.

Levin continued:"Although Wolfsbane Potion is a great invention, it is not omnipotent. In fact, there is no magic potion in the world that can completely prevent the transformation process after being infected by a werewolf."

He paused. He paused, seeming to be thinking about how to express himself more accurately,

"Moreover, the wolfsbane potion itself also has big problems. It needs to be taken regularly before the full moon to ensure that you are just a sleepy ordinary wolf when you transform into wolves. But is this state really safe for you?"

Lupine nodded, agreeing with Levin's view.

Seeing this, Levin put his hands behind his back and said slowly:

"Although Ulrimchi was unbearable to me, one of her words got to the point."

His voice was low and powerful, and every word hit Lu Ping's heart like a heavy hammer,"Since you were able to be manipulated with Wolfsbane potion this time, who can guarantee that you will not be poisoned? Will my feet be done again?"

He sighed, his tone full of helplessness and worry,

"If the situation in the wizarding world was still the same as it was in third year, then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal. But the situation is completely different now. Voldemort has been resurrected and he is eyeing Hogwarts. Principal Dumbledore is once again involved in a fight with Minister Fudge. Your every move is under the surveillance of the enemy."

Levin turned around, looked at Lupine who was deep in thought, and then continued:

"In this case, Principal Dumbledore could not find a professor willing to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, so he had no choice but to ask you to come back and fill the vacancy. While this would prevent Fudge from inserting Ministry personnel into Hogwarts, it would be risking the safety of others."

"You should feel lucky that it seems that it was Fudge's people who tampered with your potion this time. Levin looked into Lupine's eyes and said with concern,"If it were Voldemort's people who interfered, I'm afraid you would be in Azkaban by now.""

Lupine raised his head, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.

He could not deny the authenticity of Levin's words. What Levin said really made him feel scared.

Levin continued:"This is not an exception, Lupin. In fact, from the moment Dumbledore decided to let you into Hogwarts in his early years, he was already risking other people's lives or futures. If it hadn't been for James Potter's final awakening, Professor Snape, who was deceived by him, might have been killed by you in the Shrieking Shack, or he might have been infected and followed in your footsteps and became a werewolf."

"What's even more ironic is that after all this farce, Professor Snape had to admit that James Potter, whom he hated the most, was actually his savior. This was undoubtedly an extremely cruel torture for Snape."

As Levin spoke, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Snape.

Complex emotions surged in Lupine's heart, and Levin's words had touched upon the past that he didn't want to recall.

The students' grand joy, The scars in his heart had healed, but at this moment, the deep pain seemed to be ruthlessly uncovered, and the bloody wounds were exposed to the air again.

He tried hard to refute Levin, but found that he could not find it A suitable reason.

This feeling made him both desperate and angry, as if he was trapped in an inescapable vortex.

He gave up on himself and said:"What on earth do you want to say? You asked me to come here just to analyze all this for me? Do you want me to admit how right you were in not letting me come to school?"

Speaking of this, he directly expressed all his dissatisfaction with Levin.

"Why don't you acknowledge Voldemort's return on TV? What do you and Gianna want to do? The forces revealed by your Austrian and French United Company have grown so powerful. If you are willing to join forces with Budo and the Order of the Phoenix,……"

He didn't say anything further, but the implication was already obvious.

Levin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Lupine's excited expression. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He knew that his words touched Lu Ping's pain, but he also believed that only by facing the past could he face the future better.

He gently put his hand on Lupin's shoulder, stopping his questioning which sounded a little excited and self-defeating.

Then, Levin handed the refilled cup of black tea to Lupine and said softly:

"Please take a sip of tea and calm down, Professor Lupine. I don't mean to disrespect you, and of course I don't meet you just to hurt you in front of you. I just want to tell you some of my thoughts candidly."

Lu Ping looked at the black tea handed over by Levin, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

He took the tea cup and took a sip gently. The bitter tea fragrance filled his mouth, as if it also took away part of his heart. Worried.

Levin waited patiently for Lupine's mood to stabilize before slowly speaking:"Professor Luping, have you ever thought about why the research on drugs related to lycanthropy is progressing so slowly?"

"Stop asking me questions in a roundabout way, Levin Green. Just tell me what you have to say. There was obvious impatience in Lupine's tone, and he was obviously tired of Levin's way of talking.

Levin bowed slightly and apologized to Lupine:"Please forgive me for my bad habits, Professor Lupin." So, let me share my thoughts. He paused, seeming to collect his thoughts, and then continued:

"The Ministry's policy towards werewolves has always been confusing and ineffective. As early as 1637, the Ministry of Magic established a set of werewolf management regulations, requiring werewolves to sign a promise not to attack anyone and lock themselves up safely once a month."

"You can probably guess what the result will be.

Lupine sneered,"No one came to sign, because no one was ready to walk into the Ministry of Magic and admit that he was a werewolf. The reason is clear to me. The humiliation was even more unbearable than the wolf transformation itself.""

"you are right"[]

Levin nodded slightly in agreement,"The later Werewolf Registry also encountered the same dilemma. Although they set up a directory in the hope that werewolves would take the initiative to register their personal information, over the years, that record has always been incomplete. , Inaccurate. The newly transformed werewolves would rather hide their identities than face the public humiliation."

Levine sighed and continued:"Furthermore, the management responsibilities of werewolves within the Ministry of Magic have also been unclear. Unclear. The beast department and the humanoid department pushed each other back and forth, and no one was willing to take on this responsibility. For a while, the werewolf registry and capture team were placed under the jurisdiction of the beast department, while the humanoid department established the so-called The Office of Werewolf Support Services. But that office was in vain, and no werewolves were willing to walk in and ask for help. For the same reason, the registration office was empty. Eventually, the support services office was forced to close, and the registration office existed in name only for a long time, until Carter It was restored to life after Lana took over."

Lupine nodded and said solemnly:"As a werewolf, I have always paid attention to these measures taken by the Ministry of Magic. I have personally experienced the difficulties and struggles you mentioned. Yes. This is why I chose to conceal my identity instead of registering. The kind of discrimination and exclusion from the entire wizarding society is unbearable."
