Wolfsbane Potion Has Side Effects Too / Werewolf Murder Was Actually Just a Misunderstanding

Firstly, because they are all still young, and the future is uncertain, and they are greatly influenced by their surroundings.

After all, not everyone is as sexually inclined as Harry... no, not as clearly aware of their own emotions.

It's perfectly normal for boys and girls to develop feelings for each other after spending a lot of time together; there's absolutely no need to panic.

Besides, even if it accidentally comes true in the future, so what?

Harry lives in a world that is both real and unreal. Even though he has only read one book, Sorcerer's Stone, he knows that many people and things around him are actually very different from the so-called 'original book'.

Take Will, for example. Since he was able to awaken magic, it means that there must have been wizards in his ancestors, or at the very least, there must have been Squib.

However, Will is of the Royal Family blood, so is the Britain Royal Family in this world really as simple as Harry knew from his previous life?

The same goes for the British Government. The so-called Great British Empire in Harry's previous life had already successfully turned itself into a twilight state, and it was also recognized as the weakest of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It was definitely a big "decline".

However, Britain in this world still maintains its reputation as the "empire on which the sun never sets," and is undoubtedly the strongest country in Western Europe in terms of overall strength. It almost annexed the entire Ireland, which is completely different from the previous world.

So, the world is already so twisted, and Harry has already tied the second in line to the Britain throne to the wizarding world, why bother worrying about whether Will will meet a girlfriend named Kate in the future?

To be honest, seeing Will's school life getting smoother and smoother, Harry was not only happy for him, but also quite envious of him.

After all, I can help him out of most of the problems he encounters.

However, when Harry encountered problems, the people around him often couldn't offer any advice, leaving him to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

For example, regarding the problem of dealing with ghosts, Harry asked several professors, teacher Nicolas Flamel, and even the spirit of Andros, but none of them could give an answer.

How to read a ghost's mind, and further, how to truly harm or even kill a ghost—these are questions that even the ghost itself probably doesn't have the answer to.

Frustrated by the fact that he couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard he tried, Harry ultimately decided against confronting the question head-on and instead turned his attention to other issues.

For example... the full moon in January is coming soon, and he needs to find Lupin a hiding place that no one else can find.

On the Seventh Floor of Hogwarts, Harry, carrying his suitcase, led Lupin past the tapestries on the wall three times before finally reaching the entrance to the Room of Requirement.

"What an amazing place," Lupin exclaimed, looking around at the various antique items. "I thought we Marauders had explored everything in the school, but I never expected there to be such a hidden room."

The Room of Requirement is a secret room that even Marauders have never discovered, or perhaps they have discovered it but were unaware that there is a room here that can disappear.

Therefore, they did not draw it on the Marauder's Map.

Of course, the missing locations on the Marauder's Map aren't limited to the Room of Requirement; the Chamber of Secrets is also missing... and there's no need to add any more markers for it in the future.

It's just a septic tank in Hogwarts' underground cesspool, why mark it?

"Uncle Lupin, it's not enough to just stay in the Room of Requirement; you also need to go inside the suitcase." Harry said, opening his suitcase and leading Lupin into its interior.

"This... this is?!"

Carefully following Harry down the steps, Lupin was immediately stunned by the sight at the entrance when he pushed open the door to the workshop.

It was a vast wasteland, and a strange creature, as large as a lion, was dozing in a hut near the gate.

It rested its head comfortably on its paws, and with each breath it exhaled, a cloud of Bombarda would fly in front of it.

Meanwhile, in the sky above, an even larger Dragon was circling and soaring, occasionally showering the earth with rolling heat waves!

"Norberta, Zouwu, I've come to see you!"

"Huh?!" *2

With Harry's soft shout, the two enormous creatures in the sky and on the ground simultaneously perked up and then pounced on Harry with a thunderous roar.

"Harry, watch out!"

"It's okay, they're my pets."

Harry smiled and dissuaded Lupin, who was on high alert. In the meantime, the dragon and the cat had successfully stopped in front of Harry and brought their two big heads together.

"This is unbelievable... How did you do that?!"

Lupin stared in disbelief at the sight: those two incredibly ferocious monsters were behaving like docile pets in front of Harry!

Moreover... Lupin didn't know what that big cat was, but keeping a dragon as a pet was definitely illegal!

Harry, that kid, you never know when he'll suddenly give you a big scare.

"Norberta is someone I've raised since she was an egg, and Zouwu is an old friend too," Harry explained softly, his gaze fixed on the two creatures. "Most of my Fantastic Beasts have been released into the Forbidden Forest, but these are the only ones I've kept in my suitcase so I can see them anytime."

"I see..."

Whether it was a misperception or not, watching Harry interact with the two giant beasts, Lupin felt as if he were seeing a reflection of the four Marauders together back in the day.

"Alright, we've already exchanged greetings for today, let's get down to business." After playing with the two beasts for a while, Harry's smile faded, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Uncle Lupin, from this day forward, every full moon night, you must come to the Room of Requirement and stay in my suitcase!"

Chapter 354 Even Wolfsbane Potion Has Side Effects

"So I'll be transforming here from now on... Well, this place is definitely much more secluded than my office and the Shrieking Shack."

Looking around at the vast, boundless wilderness and the rainforest faintly visible in the distance, Lupin's tone was filled with emotion. "When I transformed before, Padfoot and I went to the Shrieking Shack again. Looking at those claw marks inside always brings back memories of those days... Although it was tough, it wasn't without its joys."

The Shrieking Shack that Lupin mentioned is an abandoned house in Hogsmeade Village. Because the villagers often heard terrible screams coming from inside, they called the place the Shrieking Shack.

To this day, the Shrieking Shack remains the most haunted house in all of Britain, with countless people, including residents of Hogsmeade Village, believing that ghosts truly exist there.

In reality, this is of course impossible. The Shrieking Shack is not a haunted house, but rather the hiding place Lupin used when he transformed into Werewolf.

The screams the villagers heard were Lupin's wails after he transformed. To prevent Lupin from being discovered, Dumbledore had cast a series of powerful concealment and banishment spells around the hut.

Incidentally, the only way to get into the Shrieking Shack is through a secret passage on the edge of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, with the entrance just below the Whomping Willow... This infamous tree was planted by Dumbledore himself, also to prevent others from getting close to the passage.

Sirius told Harry all this information when he left Hogwarts not long ago, but compared to his godfather's proud and excited face, Harry really didn't think it was a good idea.

The prohibition against approaching the "Whomping Willow" is similar to the prohibition against entering the Forbidden Forest, with very limited enforcement power.

As the saying goes, "Curiosity killed the cat." Sometimes, the more tightly something is kept secret, the more people want to uncover the hidden truth. This is an unavoidable human tendency.

According to Harry, since the Whomping Willow was planted in 1971, at least a hundred students at the school have been directly or indirectly injured by it... You can't say they all brought it on themselves, can you?

Moreover, Dumbledore's usual tactics of 'cover-up and rumors' were employed. For example, he allowed the rumor that 'Werewolf roam the Forbidden Forest' to spread throughout the school, thus deterring most students from entering the Forbidden Forest; and he secretly fueled the rumor that the 'Shrieking Shack' was haunted, starting from Hogsmeade Village, thus making people afraid to approach the 'Shrieking Shack', and so on...

Ultimately, these methods are only effective against honest people, not against dishonest ones.

Honestly, Harry thought the headmaster should be thankful that during the seven years Lupin was in school, Albus Dumbledore had no political enemies in the Britain Wizarding World, or rather, that the children of his political enemies were all brain-piercing idiots when they were in school.

For seven whole years, the Marauders made a lot of enemies at Hogwarts, but no one could connect such an obvious chain of clues as ' Lupin's enrollment - Albus Dumbledore's beating of the Whomping Willow - Lupin's disappearance every full moon - the Shrieking Shack being haunted on the night of the full moon'... Finally, a Severus Snape emerged, but because he trusted the headmaster too much to help him, he was betrayed by Albus Dumbledore.

In short, Albus Dumbledore and the Marauders really should thank those people for their stubbornness back then.

Or rather... thank you to the unseen forces of the plot for protecting me!

"The Shrieking Shack was never a safe place, and it'll be even less secure now." Although he knew Lupin would be upset, Harry still gave a rather heartless answer. "It's almost certain that Peter Pettigrew and Lucius will use this to their advantage against Hogwarts. So Uncle Lupin, you'd better prepare yourself... The Shrieking Shack, you might not be able to go there again after the next full moon."

"Hmm...I know." Lupin responded dejectedly, clearly knowing that Harry was telling the truth.

The fact that Peter Pettigrew knows about the Shrieking Shack means that those in the Ministry of Magic who are hostile to Dumbledore also know, and if they fail to capture him on the night of the full moon, they will definitely keep a close watch on the Shrieking Shack...

It might even destroy it entirely.

"Fortunately, we still have the Room of Requirement," Harry said with a smile to Lupin. "Uncle Lupin, from now on, come find me before the night of the full moon. I'll put you in a suitcase and hide you in the Room of Requirement, with Zouwu and Norberta with you. That way, you'll be absolutely safe."

The Room of Requirement has a unique feature: when someone is inside, the entrance to the house will appear on the wall of the Seventh Floor corridor... But even if it appears, if the person currently using the house does not allow it, no one outside can enter.

Even though Lupin was put into the Room of Requirement by Harry and brought there, he was still considered one of the users of the room. When he was in his Werewolf form, he would never have the mindset of 'agreeing to open the door for someone to enter'. Therefore, even if the door to the Room of Requirement was discovered, it would never be opened by anyone else, and it would be impossible for any sound to come out from inside.

In short, compared to the Shrieking Shack that Albus Dumbledore set up outside the school based on rumors and various spells, Harry had more faith in the 'paradise' that Hogwarts School itself provided.

Furthermore, with Zouwu and Norberta, two high-end 'wild animals,' by his side during Lupin's transformation, the risk of him self-harming can be eliminated...

"Harry, do you mean I can no longer take Wolfsbane Potion?"

As a Werewolf himself, Lupin was naturally very familiar with Werewolf habits. Harry's arrangement for him clearly indicated that he did not intend for Snape to provide him with the Wolfsbane Potion.

"That's right. At this time, if the Severus Snape were to supply you with Wolfsbane Potion at this point, they would be taking risks themselves, and it would be easy for some people to target you," Harry explained seriously. "Besides, that stuff not only tastes awful, but it's also extremely addictive. Drinking too much of it will do you no good at all."

Harry is now a fairly skilled Potions. He knows the recipe and ingredients for Wolfsbane Potion, and even without having tasted it himself, Harry can easily deduce its medicinal properties.

This substance is designed to keep the Werewolf conscious after Transfiguration, but it's actually similar to DP in that the dosage needs to be gradually increased to maintain its effects.

In fact, Lupin himself may not have realized it, but over the past few months, the total amount of medicine he took before each full moon had been subtly increasing.

This is definitely not a good sign. If Lupin continues to drink it, the Wolfsbane Potion will inevitably become an unbearable bottomless pit.

Moreover, any Potions, if taken in excess, will accumulate toxicity in the body, even the Elixir of Life consumed by the Flamel couple.

If Lupin continues to drink the Wolfsbane Potion in this manner, his condition will likely only worsen.

Moreover, his wild nature as Werewolf will become increasingly difficult to suppress, until one day, even if he soaks himself in a potion tank, he will still completely lose control!

Chapter 355 Werewolf Kill Was Actually Just a Misunderstanding

"That's the basic arrangement. From now on, I will take over from Severus Snape and be fully responsible for curing your Feral Wolf Syndrome."

In the suitcase, Harry explained in great detail the specific arrangements for each full moon night to Lupin from now on, revealing his professional competence as a doctor.

What he said left Lupin somewhat incredulous for a moment.

"Harry... you just said you wanted to... heal me?"

Healing... This was an unimaginable word for Lupin, and an unattainable dream.

Since the emergence of Werewolf, Feral Wolf Syndrome has been an absolutely incurable disease, and countless people have suffered from it.

During this period, countless brilliant wizards tried to find a way to completely cure Feral Wolf Syndrome, but without exception, they all failed.

Currently, the only two drugs that can be considered effective against Feral Wolf Syndrome are a mixture of Dittany powder and silver powder, and the Wolfsbane Potion that has been developed in recent years.

However, both of these medications are actually rather useless.

Because once bitten by Werewolf, it's better to die than to heal the wound.

Most Werewolf already live a life worse than death...

"It can succeed."

"What?" Just as despair began to flash in Lupin's eyes, he suddenly heard Harry's unwavering affirmation.

"I said...it can succeed!" Harry's eyes were full of determination, and his tone was equally resolute. "There are absolutely no incurable diseases in this world; it's just that we haven't discovered a cure yet. So no matter how difficult it is, we must never give up hope, because once we give up, there is truly no hope left!"

I'm sorry, we tried our best...

This is something doctors often say in movies and TV dramas, but in reality, it's something doctors are most reluctant to say.

Any doctor with basic professional ethics will never give up on a patient, no matter how small the chance of recovery!

To reiterate, there is absolutely no such thing as a truly incurable disease in this world.

Cholera, smallpox, tuberculosis... these diseases were once incurable, but with the continuous development of medicine and technology, they can now not only be cured, but also prevented with vaccines, and some have even been completely eradicated!

Therefore, Feral Wolf Syndrome can also be cured.

Just because others can't be cured, and haven't been cured for so many years, doesn't mean Harry can't be cured either.

With Potions Master like Severus Snape by his side, a legendary alchemist like Nicolas Flamel, and the knowledgeable ancient Book Spirit Andros, plus his own mastery of modern medicine, he refused to believe he couldn't handle a case of Feral Wolf Syndrome!

"Harry ..." Lupin was stunned when he saw the determination in the boy's eyes.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling, but he was truly infected by Harry, and it was as if the flame of hope had been rekindled in his heart.

At that moment, Lupin inadvertently thought of his old friend, Sirius Black.

He watched as Sirius transformed from a dejected prisoner in Azkaban back into the spirited descendant of the Black family he once was.

Sirius said that this change in him was entirely due to the encouragement he received from his godson, Harry.

Harry seems to possess a natural strength; when he is determined to accomplish something, everyone around him is infected and their confidence rises a hundredfold.

Now, Lupin has also been infected by this.

Yes... Harry is so determined not to give up hope. As an adult, am I really less capable than a thirteen-year-old child?

"Harry, I'm counting on you!" Lupin, having finally made up his mind, placed his hands firmly on Harry's shoulders, as if entrusting everything to him.

"I'll do my best!" Having received Lupin's signal that he was willing to cooperate with the treatment, Harry finally smiled with satisfaction. "Also... as your attending physician, I must ask you to, from now on, face your Werewolf identity squarely!"

"As a Werewolf, your wild, animalistic desires are your nature in your beast form. Suppressing them will only make things worse. Only by releasing your instincts in a safe and controlled manner, and finally controlling them with a series of treatments, can your problems be resolved."
