A Mound of Werewolf Heads

With Greyback's death, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

William didn't leave one out of three, deliberately revealing a way out.

Let the Werewolf escape, then use an ambush to divide and annihilate them; that would indeed reduce the casualty rate.

However, this will also allow some enemies to escape, making it impossible to achieve a complete annihilation.

After all, once they leave this valley, the Werewolf can Apparition.

Lupin was completely stunned by William's words.

He felt like he was dreaming.

Last year, Dumbledore sent him to recruit the Werewolf.

But the United Kingdom Werewolf all sided with the Death Eaters.

He had no choice but to become an undercover agent, passing on useful information.

Not only were their lives incredibly difficult, but they were also far removed from human society and constantly at risk of exposure.

Didn't we get exposed today?

Lupin was prepared to sacrifice himself, but things took an unexpected turn for the better.

When William was seen again, had he already annihilated Greyback and his men?

How terrifying!

Lupin was at a loss for words; he just felt that everything was so... surprising.

He looked at William with emotion, thinking that this young wizard might really be able to lead everyone to defeat Voldemort!

In fact, not only him, but many members of the Order of the Phoenix, when chatting privately, regarded William as the possible the Chosen One!

At William's gesture, Lupin sat down next to him and asked with concern, "Are you alright, William?"

William shook his head. He appeared to be covered in blood, but he wasn't actually injured; it was all Werewolf blood.

He snapped his fingers, and a head flew over.

The head had been stepped on so many times that its features were almost unrecognizable. But Lupin still recognized it at a glance—it was Greyback's head!

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, his fists clenched, and he remained silent for a long time.

Lupin finally let out a long breath, and, as if talking to himself or telling a story, slowly said:

"Once upon a time, there was a Werewolf who killed two Muggle children and was then taken to the Ministry of Magic for questioning."

However, the Werewolf Registry was poorly maintained, and the other person was not registered, so the Ministry of Magic did not know that the person was Werewolf.

He disguised himself as Muggle vagrant and deliberately feigned surprise at the wizard.

Most wizarding officials believed he was a Muggle.

Lupin plucked a blade of grass from the ground, clenched it tightly, and said:

"But one wizard raised an objection."

He is an expert on non-human phenomena and has discovered some obvious signs in men's appearances.

Therefore, he suggested to the committee that the other party be detained until the full moon a day later.

Lupin said angrily:

"The foolish committee, however, thought it was unnecessary and ridiculed the expert."

The expert, upon hearing the death of Muggle, blurted out:

"Werewolf, ruthless, evil, and deserving of death!"

After a moment of silence, Lupin said sadly:

"The committee chairman ultimately released the Werewolf."

During the release, the Werewolf and his companions attacked the Auror before fleeing.

The Werewolf begins his revenge plan, deciding to take down the expert who said he deserved to die.

One night, Werewolf broke into his house. His son was sleeping in his room when the Werewolf bit him.

That day happened to be the child's fifth birthday...

William sighed, and Mormont clenched his fists, thinking of his own tragic experience.

Lupin, with tears streaming down his face, said:

"That child was me. My father offended Greyback, and I almost died, but I survived and became Werewolf."

But during countless full moons, I've thought, "Living in such agony is worse than dying..."

Lupin looked into Xu Fengnian's eyes, and after a long while, said with deep emotion and solemnity:

"William, thank you, thank you for helping me kill Greyback."

William lowered his voice and said softly:

"Professor, you're too kind. I only did a small amount of work."

He turned to look at the Werewolf cleaning up the battlefield and calmly said:

"The United Kingdom Wizarding World has been corrupt for too long, not only in terms of Werewolf, House-elf, Goblin, but even in its relationship with Muggle."

It urgently needs a sweeping reform.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!" Lupin promised.

William smiled and said, "There are indeed some things we need your help with, but our goal now is to win this war."

Lupin nodded seriously.

Whatever William may want to do in the future, this war is the best opportunity to wash away the old ways.

The Wizarding Wars are a reshuffling of power. If things proceed as planned, how long will it take Hermione to become Minister for Magic?

How long will it take William to take control of Europe?

In this war, with the rapid reshuffling of the deck, everything is happening so quickly.

"Oh, Professor Lupin, there's something else I need to tell you," William said in a low voice.

"Professor Snape reported you to Voldemort, saying you were a spy."

Lupin smiled wryly, "I knew it was him. Did he deliberately report me?"

"It was intentional." William nodded calmly.

"I orchestrated this Werewolf annihilation plan, so you no longer need to go undercover."

But if this identity doesn't generate any residual value, it's a waste.

Professor Snape needed to provide crucial information to continue gaining Voldemort's trust.

Revealing that you're an undercover agent will save him a lot of trouble.

In fact, the plan began by deliberately luring Voldemort to learn the location of the hospital.

Why choose this location?

Because it has been in disrepair for many years and is about to be moved, it's a good opportunity to make use of its remaining value.

Then, have Professor Snape report Lupin, thus uncovering the traitor, and at the same time, guide Voldemort to send Werewolf to attack.

"William, there's something I'm curious about," Lupin said after a moment's hesitation.

"You and Professor Dumbledore seem to have great faith in Snape?"

Lupin really didn't understand this, and in fact, not only him, Sirius also didn't trust Snape.

After all... he used to be a Death Eaters.

"People change," William said slowly.

Why trust Professor Snape?

Because... he has a story, just like you.

Lupin seemed lost in thought.

William stood up, preparing to leave, when Mormont walked over and asked in a low voice:

"William, what should we do with these Werewolf corpses?"

William gazed at the blood staining the earth and said coldly:

"Create Werewolf mound and let the Daily Prophet spread the word... This is what happens when you become Death Eaters!!"

Mormont nodded sternly and said, "I understand!"

William turned and left.

At the end of July, news suddenly broke that William Stark had attacked Greyback and wiped out all of Greyback's Werewolf.

The entire United Kingdom Wizarding World was shaken.

William's reputation soared once again, even surpassing Dumbledore's.

Many wizards lamented:

Is the wizarding war, which has only just begun, already nearing its end?
