Chapter 54
The Genie Starting from Marvel
Carrying the support from Tony and Blade, Frank returned to the Keystone Hotel in the Harry Potter world.
This is a very ordinary chain hotel. It doesn't belong to the wizarding world, so almost no wizards will stay here or appear in this vicinity.
For most wizards, using products invented by Muggles or even accepting equal service from Muggles is unbearable.
The famous Knight Bus was criticized by various figures in the wizarding world because its appearance and some driving programs referred to the buses invented by Muggles at the time, and its main body was even attacked by fanatical opponents.
However, this kind of discrimination doesn't exist for Lupin because, compared to Muggle inventions, werewolves themselves are more discriminated against by wizards.
Most wizards are considered rational if they don't take the initiative to kill a werewolf when they see one, and there are few former friends who don't leave when they find out about a werewolf identity.
This is also one of the big reasons why Lupin has always lived a lonely life.
In Room 301, Frank swiped his key card to open the door, only to see Lupin facing the window, his hands supporting the windowsill, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Lupin?" Frank called out. After not getting a reply, he put the things in his hand on his bed and picked up a newspaper on a table.
This newspaper depicts a matter in a large way: a prisoner is suspected of escaping from Azkaban prison. Are Dementors no longer trustworthy?
Frank read it quickly. The matter is very simple: a prisoner is suspected of escaping from a prison. It says 'suspected' because the Ministry of Magic hasn't officially acknowledged it to this day.
It is precisely because the official side hasn't spoken that there are all kinds of guesses in the newspaper: Dementors have gained intelligence and colluded with prisoners, or there is large-scale corruption among prison guards—Hit Wizards.
"Isn't it said that Dementors, this kind of magical creature, will absorb positive emotions, affect spirit and will, and make wizards unable to cast spells? This can even let a prisoner run away?" Frank sighed.
After complaining, Frank didn't pay too much attention. After all, it's just an escaped prisoner. S. H. I. E. L. D. can even let its agents run away directly from a multi-person control state, and they can't find the trace of the other party either. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other; it's very normal.
However, at this time, Lupin turned around, his tone a bit low. "I also want to know how he ran out."
"That person, do you know him?" Frank closed the newspaper and asked.
"I know him, Sirius Black." Lupin's emotions were very complicated when mentioning this name, and he looked very dejected.
"It seems you two were very close in the past." Frank said.
"Yes, he was once a very good friend of mine, before he betrayed us." Lupin's right hand clenched into a fist, and a rage surged in his heart.
Frank didn't continue to pursue the questioning. Whoever this happened to, their mood wouldn't be very good.
"I have to apologize to you." Lupin looked at Frank and said. "I'm going to look for him next, so I might not have time to help you anymore."
"It's okay." Frank said this, but his brain was brainstorming quickly. He had to come up with a way that could satisfy both sides. "I shouldn't have told you, but I was once a special forces soldier and worked as an agent. Maybe I can help you analyze something."
"But... you're not a wizard..." Lupin raised a question.
"Humans have commonalities." Frank found a reason. "For example, why did he run now? Did someone help him in secret? Why did he want to run? If he ran out, does he want to hide, or does he want to do something?"
Lupin fell into deep thought listening to Frank's words.
"He was once your good friend. Think carefully, if he escaped, what would he want to do? As long as you understand this point, it's much stronger than looking for a needle in a haystack." Frank continued.
James... Lily... Voldemort... Harry Potter!
Names flashed through Lupin's brain one by one. Every time one flashed, he seemed to have caught some clues.
"I think I know!" Lupin slapped the windowsill and said loudly. "I'm going to Hogwarts, he will definitely go there!"
"Hogwarts? Your alma mater? At this time, school hasn't started yet, are you sure?" Before this, Frank had learned some common sense about the wizarding world from Lupin.
"He wants to kill someone! The only place he might take action is Hogwarts. I must go back and remind the Headmaster!" Lupin said anxiously and directly started preparing his luggage.
"Going to school to kill someone..." Frank wanted to ask something more. After all, taking action outside is easier than in school, but Frank thought that Lupin knew some information he didn't know, so he should be right.
"By the way, are you willing to go with me? Headmaster Dumbledore is the strongest white wizard, he can definitely help you more!" Lupin turned his head and asked Frank.
"Of course!" Frank smiled. School, huh? There must be a library, there must be data in the library that Tony needs for analysis, and there must be teachers in the school who understand potions. With Lupin's introduction and favor, the other party should be willing to help.
"However, I have a question. I'm not a wizard, can I go?" Frank asked.
"Hmm... I can ask Professor Dumbledore. You will most likely have to wait for me in the tavern for a period of time." Lupin thought about it and replied.
Dumbledore is still relatively open-minded, and Filch in the school hasn't been staying there just fine? As a Squib who can't cast spells, Filch can be allowed to stay, so an outsider like Frank should also be able to...
Come to think of it, is Filch an outsider?
A strange thought flashed through Lupin's mind, and he hurriedly shook his head to throw that thought out of his mind.
"How do we go?" Frank asked. "Take a taxi? Or take a plane? Or what?"
"It might be a bit risky. I will use Apparition to take you to Hogsmeade village. When the time comes, I will go find Headmaster Dumbledore, and you wait for me there." Lupin closed his suitcase, tidied his clothes, and said.
"What risk? Does your enemy have it there?" Frank was also ready.
"No, Apparition can take wizards and ordinary people, but I haven't tried it with visitors from another world, and it's unknown whether the power in your body will affect this spell."
Lupin said, taking out his wand. "I can only be as careful as possible. If you find it hard to accept, you can wait here. When I get the Headmaster's consent, I will invite you over in another way."
"Don't worry, come on." Frank was more confident than Lupin.
If the magic here conflicted with the power of him and Johnson, then the Genie wouldn't have brought him here.
