The slacker professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 248 Wolfish Voice, Wolf King, and the Werewolf Community

Chapter 248 Wolfish Voice, Wolf King, and the Werewolf Community

"Harry, Harry~"

Lockhart exclaimed excitedly.

Harry, standing at the top of the stairs, was watching the scene before him with curiosity. The sadness he felt for his parents, caused by their greedy past, had lessened somewhat. But when he heard Professor Lockhart's shout, his face fell.

coming!

The thing the little wizards feared most has arrived!

Professor Lockhart is always like this; he might suddenly ask questions at any time to check on the student's knowledge.

There's absolutely no room for slacking off.

But he still obediently walked over, looking at Professor Lockhart somewhat nervously, frantically chanting in his mind, "No 'classroom spot checks,' no 'classroom spot checks'!"

Unfortunately, just as Professor Lockhart knew his students very well, the students also knew their professor very well.

"Harry, you've all been taking care of the werewolf cubs all this time. Professor Snape, Professor Lupin, Mr. Mystery, Professor Kettleburn—everyone has been guiding you."

"Tell me, what are the characteristics of a werewolf cub?"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

He knows how to do this!

"The perfect hunter, Professor!" Harry replied fluently.

"Hunter?" Sirius asked, puzzled. He didn't understand why werewolves had become standard hunters.

"Powerful magic resistance, attack speed far exceeding that of ordinary magical creatures, and claws and fangs sharp enough to tear through dragon skin," Harry described the characteristics of the werewolf cubs. "In fairy tales, it's usually the hunters who can harm wizards. In the real world, werewolves actually play the role of hunters."

"During our research on werewolf pups, we discovered that their short-range speed bursts are incredibly fast."

Wizards without Quidditch training generally wouldn't be able to react in time. They possess exceptional long-distance travel ability and terrifying stamina.

It possesses extremely high resistance to many offensive spells, and is particularly adept at defending against spells that affect the mind.

Harry's explanation became increasingly clear and fluent. "But actually, wolf cubs have an even greater advantage over werewolves: their beast form. Modern magic systems, particularly Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms, generally teach dueling spells designed for humans. Against wolf cubs, many of the wizards' commonly used and habitual attack methods will be ineffective."

Sirius stared blankly at Harry's eloquent speech, feeling as if he were seeing Lily in his mind's eye.

He originally thought Harry was a replica of James. While infiltrating Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he heard many stories about Harry and saw many of Harry's performances, so he thought he knew James's son very well.

He looks almost exactly like LeBron James, except for his height, which is due to his extremely difficult childhood.

But in terms of personality, ability preferences, and so on, he is almost a carbon copy of LeBron James.

Unexpectedly, Harry at this moment resembled Lily more.

Um···

Lockhart didn't have this inexplicable bloodline theory; in his view, the answer Harry gave was something many people in the Dueling Club could do.

"Anything else?" Lockhart wasn't very satisfied.

Harry swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a little nervous. He looked at Professor Lupin, who was getting used to his new body not far away, wondering what other answers he might have.

So Professor Lockhart had to give a hint: "We all know that werewolf cubs have intelligence close to that of humans."

Harry's eyes lit up. "A werewolf in wolf form can maintain human thought and will! I see, Professor, a werewolf in wolf form should be able to cast spells!"

"Given the differences in magical abilities between werewolves and wizards, the magic they might cast could lean towards nature, nighttime, and..."

The directions include forests, the mystical side, etc.

Snapped!

Lockhart snapped his fingers happily. "Perfect, Harry, a perfect answer!"

Sirius was stunned.

To be honest, he himself couldn't answer these questions.

He opened his mouth, glanced at Harry, then at Lockhart, then at Lupin, and finally back at Harry, suddenly feeling a sense of despair.

It seems like he can't teach Harry anything anymore?

How can he be a good godfather?

Yes, he was determined to take good care of Harry and teach him well, but he hadn't really thought about how to do it properly.

Thinking about it now, "teaching Harry well" is probably quite difficult, and "taking good care of Harry" is even more challenging.

To be honest, he can't even take care of himself.

this..

He even began to wonder if Harry's life at his house was worse than at Harry's uncle's house.

will not!

Probably not!

No, it won't!

His family has a house-elf named Kreacher!

Kreacher's cooking skills are exceptionally good; the three Bella sisters used to be very envious of him during family gatherings.

Somewhat bewildered, Sirius began to realize the trouble and hardship of raising an offspring.

Fortunately, he has love.

He wanted to give Harry a loving family, not like Uncle Vernon's.

Lupin, who was not far away, had obviously heard Harry's reply. With a thought, he followed his animal instincts and human desires and started running quickly.

The wolf that werewolves transform into is exceptionally beautiful, like a moonlight sprite or a darling of the forest. They are naturally beautiful. Lupin in front of me is no exception; his wolf form looks so handsome.

As it ran, its silver-gray fur swayed like satin. It pushed open the window with one paw, pawed at the windowsill, and looked up at the moonlight in the sky, howling instinctively.

"Aowing NNNyS"

A mysterious force is surging.

Moonlight spilled onto the giant wolf's body, its fur swaying and fluttering in the moonlight, making it look like a fine oil painting.

After a while, sensing that Lupin's emotions had calmed down again, Lockhart asked with some curiosity, "Lupin,

How are you feeling?

The enormous wolf head turned to look at them and said, "Not bad."

The giant wolf's voice was different from Lupin's; it seemed to emanate from its abdomen, carrying a very interesting vibrating sound, like a subwoofer.

Dull, yet powerful!

It possesses an extreme blend of wildness and composure.

This makes the giant wolf in front of them look more like a wolf king.

Sirius and Harry were both stunned, especially Sirius. When he transformed into the big black dog, he would not only be affected and develop many animalistic habits, but he would also lose the ability to speak.

He was incredibly envious.

Lockhart stroked his chin, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Next time on the night of the full moon, we can go to Lyle (Lupin's father)."

"In your lab, I doubt you have a way to command those werewolves!"

"An order?" Lupin was stunned.

"Yes, Wolf King, commanding all werewolves is a magical ability. Of course, to put it more realistically, you stand at a higher level of the magical bloodline of wolves."

"It's as if Parsleyan can command all snakes, whether they are magical creatures like basilisks or cursed orcs who have been turned into snakes."

"Hehe—" Lockhart's expression was full of teasing, "According to the common descriptive habits of wizards, this ability should be called 'Wolf Voice'."

Juhun's expression turned strange.

He turned to look at the moon in the sky, slowly closed his eyes, his pair of erect, furry ears twitched, and suddenly his body began to shrink rapidly.

His body twisted, and in an instant, he transformed back into a human.

"You can control the changes yourself?" Sirius exclaimed in amazement.

Lupin, however, had a serious expression. "Dumbledore has a plan for me, hoping that I can infiltrate the werewolf community."

Sirius frowned. "The werewolf community founded by Fenrir Graybuck, the one who bit you and turned you into a werewolf?"

Lupin nodded. "In fact, many people know that he trains an army in the werewolf community and constantly sends werewolves out to bite young wizards, then brings these werewolf children back to the community and teaches them to hate wizards."

"Damn it!" Sirius Black hated such villains. "He caused so much trouble in the past wars; I wish I could kill them all!"

Harry, however, remarked from the side, "There are many poor people among them."

Sirius Black stared blankly at Harry, only to see Harry firmly stating his opinion: "Being bitten by werewolves is not their fault, being abandoned by society and forced to join the werewolf community is not their fault, and being taught to hate wizards is even less their fault."

Harry could empathize with that kind of pain.

He grew up in a family that viewed wizards as monsters and madmen, so how could he not understand?

"Fenrir Greyback is dead," Lockhart muttered, stroking his chin. Back in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, Grindelwald, in his werewolf transformation, had summoned other werewolves and fought Voldemort, who was in werewolf form, killing Fenrir Greyback, who was in Voldemort's possession. (Chapter 223)

Then, his eyes lit up, "The werewolf community is currently lacking a werewolf king!"

Lupin nodded with a serious expression. "In fact, this matter is very complicated. There are extremely complex connections behind the werewolf community. According to the information I have investigated, too many forces are secretly investing in the werewolf community, both openly and secretly."

There were some things he didn't say without Dumbledore's permission.

For example, the Potions class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry taught young wizards to practice potion-making, and some of the unfinished potions (some of which only had side effects) that the young wizards made leaked into the werewolf community.

The werewolves in the community were used as test subjects for drug trials.

None of the few who knew the news suspected Snape of being responsible, because some of the potions had even flowed into communities of werewolves, fishmen, giants, centaurs, and other humanoid creatures, and had even leaked into the dark wizarding community in Knockturn Alley and into Muggle society.

It's very complicated.

This world is inherently complex.

"If I can influence the werewolf community, at least the werewolves won't be completely wiped out with the downfall of the Dark Lord and become cannon fodder of the times."

Just as Sirius Black and many others were unsure whether Voldemort would win back then, in this era, most people actually believe that Voldemort is merely clinging to life.

The werewolves, who completely join Voldemort's ranks, will only face annihilation.

The key point is that the werewolves sided with Voldemort only because of the ambition of their leader, Fenrir Greyback, and there were far too many pitiful people involved.

Lupin, who had been caught in the rain, wanted to hold up an umbrella for others.

Without further ado, he looked out the window, somewhat eager to try, and couldn't help but look at Lockhart hoping to get confirmation, only to see Lockhart just shake his head at him.

"It's not a big deal. Let's observe the situation further and make sure everything is okay before you take action."
