Bat God Ubumulus

"I'll only believe your nonsense if you swear on Merlin —you really are doing this for Lupin." Harry couldn't help but give his best friend Ron a deadpan look.

"If you make that kind of money, tsk tsk." Ginny leaned against Harry and chimed in.

The scene shifts, and Harry and the others are now under the tree, in the shade of the beech tree by the lake.

The dazzling sunlight shone on the calm lake surface and onto the shore, where a group of girls who had just come out of the Great Hall sat laughing and taking off their shoes and socks to cool their feet in the lake water.

"Hey! Hey! Ron! Ron Weasley!" Ginny reached out and waved as Ron looked toward the lake.

Seeing that Ron still didn't react, she angrily put her hands on her hips.

Harry, standing nearby, had a feeling of déjà vu seeing Mrs. Weasley.

To avoid getting burned, Harry briefly admired the scene before suddenly shoving Ron.

"What are you doing?" Ron stumbled.

"Have you forgotten that you're not single anymore? Look at Harry," Ginny, looking at her brother with displeasure.

Harry, who was called out, kept his eyes down, sitting upright with a serious expression.

"I—" Ron, looking towards the Black Lake, immediately understood the reason. "I was just spacing out. Didn't I promise you I wouldn't mention business to Lupin?" "But just now, a gust of wind made me think of something."

"What is it?" Harry asked, forcing himself not to look at the Black Lake.

He was sitting against the tree trunk, his head always pointing in one direction.

"I think we still need to go find Lupin."

"Has he mastered the Fenrir Greyback?"

"How are things between him and Tonks?" (Ginny nodded upon hearing this.)

"And what about the inside story of Azkaban? Does he know more about it?" Ron asked Harry and Ginny after a moment of silence.

Harry's attitude also changed because of the possible inside story of Azkaban.

"But where exactly is Lupin?" Harry frowned.

The most troublesome thing is that Lupin may not even be at Hogwarts right now.

"I have a way." Ginny smiled and drew her wand.

The Zara Tribe in Africa has a culture that uses bats as a totem.

In their culture, the Bat God is their ancestor, named Ubomuratūs.

He created humankind and transformed his own hair into bats as their food.

Yes, food.

In the Muggle world, this bat is called the Hammer-headed Fruit Bat. It is the largest bat in Africa, with a face that looks like both a fox and a horse, with a smooth chin but stiff whiskers on both sides of its mouth.

This bat feeds on fruit pulp—its main food is figs, but it also sometimes eats mangoes, bananas, and guavas.

Given their enormous size, catching one is all you need for a meal.

According to the shamans of the Zara Tribe, the Hammer-headed Fruit Bat is a manifestation of the Bat God's ability to bring a bountiful harvest.

In their eyes, the Bat God possessed countless divine powers.

This time, Ginny used one of the divine powers of the Bat God Ubumulus — the Soul Summoning.

Soul Summoning, as the name suggests, is the act of Soul Summoning.

In the myths and legends of the Zara Tribe, the Bat God can recall a person's soul in advance by calling their name.

In their view, those prestigious, great, yet prematurely deceased members of the tribe were allowed to go to the Divine Kingdom of Ubomuratūs ahead of time because they were too outstanding.

There is an endless supply of Hammer-headed Fruit Bat there.

"Remus Lupin!" Ginny drew a circle with her wand and then suddenly thrust it forward, and a strange, huge bat with a horse-like face and brown fur appeared in front of Ginny!

After circling in the air for a while, it spread its long bat wings and flew into the sky.

"What the hell is that?!" Ron exclaimed, backing away in fright.

"It's a variant of the Bat-Bogey Hex, isn't it? You used knowledge from the Book of Bats."

"Should we follow it?" Harry, though pale-faced, remained rational and analyzed the situation meaningfully.

"No need. The bat will give me a response once it finds Lupin, as long as it does!" Ginny suddenly closed her eyes, grabbed Harry's hand, and her eyelids began to tremble violently.

As she said, the bat she conjured with her magic found Lupin in the Forbidden Forest, following the name and her memory of him. Images of its flight, along with Lupin's current location coordinates, flooded Ginny's mind.

"Are you alright?" Harry quickly pulled Ginny into his arms.

"How about we just write to Lupin directly?"

"There's an owl?" Ginny's strange behavior reminded Ron that he was still an older brother.

"I've already suffered enough!"

"I saw Lupin in the Forbidden Forest, but very deep, deep into a dark cave, surrounded by ragged Werewolf."

"They were discussing Fenrir Greyback, and I heard Lupin mention that Snape could provide free Wolfsbane Potion," Ginny recounted what she had seen and heard.

"So, if we wait for Lupin at Hagrid's place, we'll be able to see him," Ron said excitedly, waving his hand.

Why wait?

"Can't Hagrid see everything in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Hagrid is not a braggart. The last time I asked him, he said he could communicate with the centaurs deep in the Forbidden Forest from his cabin."

"We can easily talk to Hagrid and Lupin," Harry suggested.

Meanwhile, in the pitch-black cave, Lupin waved his wand and set a pile of wood ablaze.

He was surrounded by savages who wore clothes and shoes made of animal skins and wild grass.

They all looked serious.

Until—a human face emerged from the campfire.

"I didn't see the bat; it's gone."

"Remus, can you describe what that bat looks like?" the face said.

"So, it left the Forbidden Forest in just a few minutes," Lupin said, analyzing the situation before answering the subsequent questions.

He knew all too well the keen observation skills Hagrid now possessed in the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore tried to hide marked common stones, Herbology, and other items in various corners of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid located those things in an instant.

"As for its appearance?"

"I have never seen a bat that big before."

"Its wingspan is a full two feet! If it weren't for the fact that I have exceptional eyesight in human form since I mastered that magic, I would have seriously doubted whether I was seeing things," Lupin continued after regaining his senses.

"Is it Lethifold? No, its fur is black, you couldn't possibly be mistaken."

"The Lethifold will not attack a sober wizard."

"Wait, Harry and the others are here, I'll go first—" The face in the flames disappeared.

One more chapter will be posted later.
