Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 164 The Moon's Projection

Chapter 164 The Moon's Projection

Mrs. Malkin looked at Lupin with suspicion as he walked in, and only smiled again when she saw Kane behind him.

It seems that this wasn't some fancy job-seeking scheme that Lu Ping came up with.

Visiting the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley to boast is a must-do for most people, but Kane and Lupin didn't seem to care much about it.

The former was still a child, and Kane didn't like alcohol, while the latter was poor, and besides, no place has ever been better at gathering information than a bar.

Even MI5 and MI6 might not know as much as Tom, the bartender there.

So more or less, or at least some of them must know that Lupin is a werewolf.

So he didn't intend to go in and make a fool of himself.

And most importantly, Kane gave Hagrid a school robe as a gift, but he hadn't even decided what to give Hagrid yet.

Kane watched Lupin stop at each stall in Diagon Alley for a while, then start haggling and bargaining, eventually forcing the stall owners to pull out their wands before moving on to the next one...

"How about I buy your gift for you? I won't tell anyone, and no one will know."

Lu Ping, who was trying to negotiate the price, waved his hand with his back turned and said, "After all, this is a gift to a friend, so it's more sincere to use my own money."

Kane didn't say anything when he saw this, he just casually sat on a bench in Diagon Alley, and then he saw a little wizard swaying in the wind at the corner.

It was Malfoy. Kane was a little puzzled. Was the magical world really so cold and indifferent? Why hadn't anyone come to rescue this poor kid after all this time?

Kane stood up somewhat helplessly and walked over. At this moment, Malfoy, due to gravity, had all the blood rushing to his brain, and was eating ice cream like a little red man.

Kane looked at Malfoy in this state and had a strange feeling.

How bad can this silly kid be?

And so, he slowly put Malfoy down.

Meanwhile, Malfoy, engrossed in eating ice cream and oblivious to the person behind him, suddenly felt himself falling. He thought the villain had finally discovered he was still alive and was about to finish him off.

For a moment, she couldn't even cry out; she could only subconsciously tremble with her two rows of big white teeth.

It wasn't until the two shadowy claws laid him flat on the stone pavement that he realized he was still alive.

After getting up, he saw Kane standing behind him. Between yelling at him for being a lunatic and running away like a coward, he chose to apologize cowardly.

"I'm sorry," Malfoy said, his head bowed low, his voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

"Hmm, I forgive you." Kane said as he left, intending to check on Lupin's choice of gifts.

Malfoy watched Kane's departing figure, and once again, tears of grievance streamed down his face.

This time there are two.

This is outrageous!

When they found Lupin, he had already chosen a gift: a huge box of chocolates.

After much thought, Lupin decided he should send something practical, like chocolate, which would be very useful.

Because this thing is edible.

After choosing their gifts, the two didn't linger in Diagon Alley any longer. They returned to Hogwarts at noon, not only handing the gifts to Hagrid but also making it in time for lunch.

The next few days were just a mundane and boring routine.

There were no classes, no homework, and not even a single peer to talk to.

Okay, there's still one and a half.

Dumbledore is one, Hagrid is half, and Lupin... well, he's too mature, too serious, and always looks solemn. In short, he has the air of a class monitor.

Kane spent almost every day making hats in his dorm, idly strolling through the Forbidden Forest, and splashing his toes in the Black Lake.

Boring, mundane, yet joyful.

That evening, Dumbledore somehow managed to get Lupin a bottle of wolfsbane potion, a magical potion that allows werewolves to retain consciousness even when they are in beast form.

At the observatory, Lupin drank the wolfsbane potion in one gulp and then quietly waited for the moonlight.

Kane, wearing anti-demon goggles, stood far away, not out of fear of Lupin, but because he needed to be far enough away to observe the Moon Spirit beside Lupin.

And reality was pretty much as Kane had guessed: as night fell, more and more moon spirits gathered around Lupin.

Until the full moon's light shone through the thick clouds and fell on Lupin.

What ordinary people saw was Lupin suddenly becoming tormented after being exposed to the moonlight, then growing hair all over his body and transforming into a werewolf that was neither cute nor cool, but rather somewhat ugly.

In Kane's eyes, a very thin beam of light from the moon, unlike ordinary moonlight, shone directly on Lupin, turning him into a werewolf.

Then he looked up at the moon. The moon, which was originally bright and had unique patterns, now appeared as a hazy veil in the eyes of the anti-demon glasses. The pattern on the veil was a giant eyeball. Kane raised an eyebrow and understood. The moon in the real world was still the normal moon. As for the giant moon eyeball he was seeing now, it was just a projection of the moon in the Eternal Realm.

After all, the moon itself does not emit light; its light comes from the sun. And the moon I am seeing now is not the moon of the real world, but the moon of the Eternal Realm. Perhaps it is because of the special celestial shape of the full moon that the moon of the Eternal Realm projects its power onto the moon of the real world.

Right now, the moon in the Eternal Realm is watching him with great interest through the moon. Kane, of course, wouldn't want to embarrass the moon, so he waved to it as a greeting.

Then he took off his glasses and felt completely relaxed. The real world had not been invaded, and Lupin's werewolf might actually be able to be controlled.

Let's start with the good news...

"Lupin, you've got a chance this time! We've found the moon!" Kane's seemingly nonsensical words initially piqued Dumbledore's curiosity.

"Mind if I take a look?" Dumbledore said, extending his hands to take the anti-demon glasses and putting them on his face. He looked up at the moon, then shook his head. "I can't see."

Kane raised an eyebrow. That was normal. The anti-demon glasses shouldn't have the powerful function of directly observing the moon's true face. The reason he could see it was because he controlled the shadows.

So all you need to do is add some cute little things to Dumbledore...

Kane waved his hand, and a ball of black, transparent flame appeared in mid-air, slowly floating in front of Dumbledore. Through this flame, he finally saw the enormous eye.

Dumbledore looked at the giant eye in the sky, then turned to look at Kane.

He should say something at this point...
