Fenrir Greyback

What's this?

This was the first thing Harry thought of when he opened the newspaper.

The newspaper headline in front of him read, "The Quibbler."

"A joint report by The Daily Prophet and the Quibbler," Ron read aloud as he leaned closer.

"What's wrong?"

"I know 'The Quibbler'. It's a newspaper published by Luna's father, and it's very popular recently."

"It's the earliest newspaper to record the Crumple-Horned Snorkack, and it also reported on the 'Elder Wand'." Ginny also turned to look at the newspaper.

[A boon for patients with wolf-like symptoms - Lovegood's latest major discovery after the Crumple-Horned Snorkack!]

Xenophilius Lovegood Lovegood, editor of the Quibbler, the first discoverer of the Crumple-Horned Snorkack in Britain and even the world, the Ranger who let everyone know the whereabouts of the Elder Wand (which prevented Lucius Malfoy from using it for evil purposes in private).

And now, at the end of winter, within the tattered parchment, he has unearthed another great magic.

Dumbledore said, "It's amazing that it can cure wolfism—and patients can also develop Animagus."

Surprised, I inquired about the details of this magic.

It is well known that people with wolf-like symptoms lose their minds and transform into wolf-like forms during a full moon.

Wounds inflicted by them in this state cannot heal naturally.

Even after being treated with Dittany and silver powder, they can still be infected with wolf-like disease.

This magic eliminates the contagiousness of wolf-like syndrome patients at its source. It can combine the patient's animalistic side with the lesions, cultivating an ability to freely transform into an animal, much like Animagus.

The only difference is that the animal one can transform into after practicing it is limited to the wolf form.

Let's call it Fenrir Greyback for now.

According to Seng Dunn, head of the Werewolf Patient Support Services Department, those bitten by the wolf-afflicted patient who had mastered this magic and was in wolf form did not exhibit any symptoms of wolf-afflicted disease.

Furthermore, on the day of the full moon, without taking the Wolfsbane Potion, it will not lose its mind or automatically transform into wolf form.

So the question is, how difficult is it to learn this magic?

Dumbledore said, "The reason this magic has never spread is also related to its difficulty, because it requires the wolf to regain sanity on the day of the full moon. The other parts are not too difficult, but the Protego is the most difficult."

This is undoubtedly a counterargument. A wolf-like patient with a strong willpower who can maintain humanity on the day of the full moon doesn't actually need to master this magic.

It is precisely because many people with wolf-like symptoms are unable to maintain their humanity on the day of the full moon that they need to learn this magic.

But fortunately, we are different from the ancients.

The Wolfsbane Potion invented by Damocles Belby, recipient of the First-Class Order of Merlin, was undoubtedly a shortcut to becoming the Fenrir Greyback.

If taken a week before the full moon, a person with wolf-like symptoms will remain sanity even if they turn into a wolf.

It is understood that the wolf-related patients recruited by the Werewolf Patient Support Services Department also mastered this magic through Wolfsbane Potion.

According to the latest decree from the Ministry of Magic, patients with wolf-like symptoms can now receive an advance payment for Wolfsbane Potion.

"So that's why Lupin was so happy."

"I thought he had been won over by Tonks." Harry couldn't help but smile at the good news.

"Who is Tonks?" Ginny frowned.

For the first time, she realized that Harry had so many secrets he was hiding from her.

Sirius is her cousin.

"She is Auror from the Ministry of Magic."

"It's said that she's been pursuing Lupin recently."

"However, Lupin kept refusing because of his Werewolf identity."

"But now?"

"Look, this report doesn't mention Werewolf at all, it's all about werewolf patients." Ron held up the newspaper and pointed to the photo.

In the photo, a man with long silver hair is smiling as he poses with Rita Skeeter.

He was holding up a sign that read "Good News for Wolf Syndrome Patients".

He must be Luna's father.

"How could I not know?" Ginny stared intently at her brother.

"We found out by chance."

"Lupin doesn't want us to spread this."

"Saying that would damage Tonks' reputation," Harry said, responding to Ron's constant gesturing.

"So Lupin likes Tonks, huh?" Ginny snorted and then ignored Ron.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in Lupin and Tonks' romance.

Although Harry and the others only mentioned it briefly.

How they met, got to know each other, and fell in love was not mentioned at all.

But Ginny's mind was already filled with tens of thousands of words of sweet love stories.

In the story, Lupin is vilified and ostracized by Tonks' parents because of his Werewolf identity. Even his best friend Sirius suffers the same fate.

Just when Lupin and Tonks were in despair, a great discovery saved them.

"Hey, Ginny!" ("I'm fine." Ginny shook her head, as if waking from a dream.)

"They are in love," Harry said.

Ginny was as excited as the protagonist of a story.

"Wait, we need to find Lupin right away." Ron suddenly stood up.

"Huh?" Harry and Ginny, who were still being all lovey-dovey, looked at Ron, who was acting crazy again.

"Don't you realize something?"

"What a huge market this is!"

"Don't you realize how difficult Animagus magic is?"

"You know, there are only seven Animagus in this century!"

"And now, as long as one is infected with the wolf disease, one can learn to become Fenrir Greyback like the Animagus!"

"The money for the Wolfsbane Potion was advanced by the Ministry of Magic!" Ron excitedly circled around Harry, spinning in place.

So what?

"Could it be—" Harry thought of something.

"You truly are my good brother!"

"That's the difficult part!"

"Fenrir Greyback can cause patients with wolf syndrome to lose the ability to infect others."

"This means that there will only be fewer and fewer Werewolf."

"In the end, perhaps Werewolf, that is, werewolf patients who have not practiced Fenrir Greyback, will become the hope for those who want to learn Animagus wizardry."

"They are the gold mine!"

"Perhaps, no, definitely others will notice this business opportunity!"

"However, we are different from those people."

"We have Lupin."

"He's Werewolf too."

"With Lupin's help, we can find far more Werewolf than anyone else." Ron's eyes widened.

"You're insane!"

"Didn't you already make a lot of Galleons from Smoke Bomb?" Ginny said with a look of disdain.

"You can never have too many Galleons."

"And this is also a good thing for Lupin."

"After Tonks' mother left the Black House, she also received a large sum of Galleons."

What does Lupin have?

"Even if being Werewolf is no longer an obstacle."

"But they need Galleons to get married, right?"

"I'm helping Lupin," Ron said, becoming increasingly proud.
