Levin took a sip of hot tea, and the aroma of tea spread between his lips and teeth, moistening his slightly dry throat.

He put down the teacup, looked at Lupine with a solemn gaze, and spoke slowly:"In the second half of the twentieth century, several potions that could alleviate the effects of deformation finally came out. Among them, the most outstanding result is undoubtedly ours The wolfsbane potion mentioned before. However, this is not all I want to express."

He paused and then continued to get to the point:"Why are werewolves with such a long history of existence, but the research on related potions is progressing so slowly? This The root cause behind this is actually that ordinary wizards have a serious lack of understanding and research on you werewolves. This ignorance breeds discrimination and rumors, allowing them to breed and spread like maggots in wizard society. Even some so-called authorities are skeptical about this. There is deep prejudice."

Speaking of this, he gave an example:"Take Professor Everett Pickard, who blatantly stated in his book"The Lawlessness of Wolf Nature: Why Werewolves Don't Deserve to Live" It is claimed that werewolves will permanently lose their sense of morality. This statement is obviously wrong and is a huge misunderstanding and prejudice against you werewolves. However, this view appears openly in the works of a famous professor and has been used by countless regarded as a model"""Five-four-three" Lu Ping immediately clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard the name.

"When Professor Picard wrote that article, he only made one-sided reference to a few cases of out-of-control werewolves and made such an unfair judgment on all werewolves. His generalization has undoubtedly deepened the misunderstanding and discrimination against us werewolves. His work caused many kind-hearted werewolves to doubt and deny themselves, and some even fell into the abyss of despair and truly turned into the kind of morally bankrupt monsters he described."

"It is in this environment of lack of mutual understanding and cooperation that research on werewolves - whether it is the popularization of knowledge, treatment methods or the development of potions - has progressed extremely slowly."

Levin sighed softly, his voice full of heaviness and helplessness.

"In fact, werewolves in their human form can be as good and righteous as any human being, just like you, Remus Lupin. But there could also be an evil, cruel individual like Fenrir Greyback, who would still try to bite or maim people in his human form, even maintaining sharp nails for this purpose. However, these complex and changeable characteristics have been generalized by the outside world, and the resulting discrimination and prejudice are like gangrene on the bones and are difficult to eliminate."

He paused, seeming to be looking for more suitable words to express what he meant.

"These discriminations and prejudices are like an invisible wall that isolates you werewolves from ordinary society. And ordinary wizards have further deepened their discrimination and prejudice against you because of your avoidance and concealment. It's like a vicious cycle, making your situation increasingly difficult."

Speaking of this, Levin suddenly looked at Lupine, with a deep apology in his eyes, which made the other party a little confused.

"Lupin, there's something I have to tell you. I discovered this by chance when I was looking through the files of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures at Katrana's place. This may be shocking and even painful to you, but I feel you have a right to know the truth."

He paused, giving Lupine time to mentally prepare, and then continued:"When you were four years old, the Ministry of Magic once convened a group of authorities who studied dark creatures, hoping that they could help understand and contain them. these threats. Your father, Leolupin, was also invited to the gathering. At the rally, he met Fenrir Greyback. He swallowed and continued:"Your father has always been a gentle and polite man, but at that assembly, he suffered ridicule and contempt from other members." They said he could only deal with small tricks like boggarts and had no understanding of real dark creatures. This made your father very angry. In front of Greyback, he angrily yelled that the only outcome a werewolf deserved was death."

Hearing this, Lupine opened his mouth in surprise. He seemed to have guessed what Levin was going to say.

"I know this is hard to accept, but it's the truth. What's worse is that because of this sentence, you were viciously retaliated by Greyback a few days before your fifth birthday. He deliberately infected you with lycanthropy when your father wasn't paying attention. This is a tragedy based on discrimination and misunderstanding, and you are also an innocent victim of this tragedy."

After listening to Levin's words, Lupine's face became paler and paler, and his eyes were full of shock and pain.

He was silent for a long time, and then he slowly spoke with a slightly hoarse voice:"Thank you for telling me this, Levin. Seeing that

Lupine had finished digesting the news, Levin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lupine, I came to you today because I hope you can join us and work together to change the status quo of werewolves. I know that this may be a difficult decision for you, and perhaps we cannot completely reverse the transformation you have undergone and allow you to return to ordinary human life. But as long as we work together, I believe we can find a better solution"

"We can work on developing longer-acting, more stable wolfsbane potions to provide longer-lasting help to werewolves," he proposed his plan."Or we can also explore other treatment methods in order to find one that can completely Cure for werewolf infection. In this way, werewolves can get rid of the shackles of transformation, reintegrate into society, and no longer be discriminated against and excluded"

"Before extending this invitation to you, the reason why I first analyzed the various reasons for the current situation is that I hope you can understand our starting point and purpose."

Levin took a deep breath and continued,

"Of course, I also know that in this society, prejudice and discrimination are difficult to completely eliminate. Even Muggle-born wizards are inevitably subject to a certain degree of prejudice. But what I want to say is, Professor Luping, as long as our efforts can achieve certain results, even if it just improves the situation of werewolves and makes your life a little easier, it will be worthwhile. Maybe one day, you can be like vampires and Veela. Although you will still face some prejudice, at least you will be accepted and understood by more people. He paused, observing Lupin's reaction, and then continued:"I know you have a deep affection for Hogwarts. After we have achieved results, if you are willing to go back and continue teaching, Jaina and I will Do whatever we can to convince those school governors. We believe that your experience and wisdom will be invaluable to the students of Hogwarts........."

Lupine listened to Levin's words and was silent for a while.

He raised his head and looked into Levin's eyes, and said slowly:"Levin, I'm very grateful for your concern and invitation. But I don't plan to return to Hogwarts to be a professor. Your purpose is to get me to join Ogwarts." The French Union Company is used for research and experiments, right? If you can guarantee that your purpose is really to help werewolves, I think I would like to be studied by you.……"

Levin hurriedly waved his hand and explained:"No, no, Professor Lupin, you completely misunderstood our intentions. We never wanted to use you as a test subject."

He smiled bitterly,"In fact, if we are just looking for experiments It is definitely not enough for you alone. For this reason, we, the Arcane United Company, have reached close cooperation with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic. From now on, those notorious werewolf criminals will be After capture, they will no longer be sent to Azkaban, but will be sent to us and imprisoned in our underground laboratory. We hope to find more effective treatments by in-depth study of their physiological and magical properties. Antidote."

After saying that, he waved his hand, interrupting Lupine's self-sacrificial plan:

"Lupin, please listen to me. Among all these unfortunate people, you are the lucky one. You have a few good friends who truly accept who you are and are always there to support and help you. Although life is sometimes full of hardships and challenges, after reuniting with Sirius, your days have gradually improved and become hopeful."

He advised somewhat helplessly,

"I know that report may have made you feel the urge to self-exile again. But please believe me, a werewolf like you who works hard to maintain a good nature and considers the group should not have difficulty guaranteeing even a basic life. I would like to provide you with some suitable positions and job opportunities in my company. This is not only to provide you with a place to live and a stable source of life, but more importantly, to allow you to personally participate in the great cause of saving your own ethnic group in 5.5. We need your wisdom and strength to work together for the future of werewolves"

"Lupin, this is not charity, but a reasonable use of your unique advantages. Levin said seriously,

"Werewolves cannot be infected a second time, a trait that makes you ideal candidates to study those evil werewolves. You can help us with our frontline work to reduce the risk of infection for general staff. And if our Offa United Company successfully develops a more effective wolfsbane potion, or even finds a magic potion to solve the infection problem, you will also be the first batch of beneficiaries."

After that, he concluded:"From a business perspective, providing help to people like you may not bring direct financial benefits, but it is very beneficial to improving our company's social responsibility and public image. I am very willing to invest this money to achieve a win-win situation for both of us. Lupine listened to Levin's words and was ready to agree to his proposal, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

He frowned and asked:"Levin, I understand what you mean, but if you want to solve the infection problem, it is Doesn't it mean... you plan to conduct experiments on living people?".
