Chapter 215: Pub Story

A transparent head emerged from the water, and Harry finally saw the situation—it was Moaning Myrtle.

"It's you," she said. "Someone asked me to scare people here, I didn't expect it to be scaring—"

She suddenly showed a fearful expression. "You are the opener of that Chamber of Secrets!"

"That's right, now it's not you scaring me, but me scaring you," Harry smiled reluctantly. "Run away quickly."

Moaning Myrtle shrieked and flew out of the Room of Requirement, drilling back into her own bathroom.

Harry sorted out his interrupted thoughts slightly and began to enjoy the luxurious bubble bath again. As for Moaning Myrtle, it was clearly a prank from Zhang Qiu or Alina, and he didn't take it very seriously. He just felt that if it were counted, they were also bullying Moaning Myrtle, which was very bad.

When he returned to the common room, he didn't see Eve and Jin Ni. He thought about it, perhaps this layout didn't need to be said immediately, but he should find an opportunity to call Eve, Jin Ni, Neville, and Hannah together to discuss the solution to the problem.

Early the next morning, Luo En pulled Harry up and reminded him that he should accompany Alina to Hogsmeade village.

"Alright," Harry said to Neville. "We have to find time to talk about Lavender properly. How about tomorrow?"

"Sure, just as you said, call everyone over and solve the problems of the Lion House and the Badger House together," Neville approved of Harry's plan.

When the four of them walked into the Three Broomsticks pub, a whistle suddenly sounded around them, and a customer said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect another beauty in a pleated skirt and thigh-high socks to come to our small village."

"Is that so?" Alina turned around with a smile. "Is it not popular to dress like this here?"

"Not very popular, especially in winter," the customer said. "The last one who did this was Cassandra, but now she is the boss, and she doesn't come often."

"Cassandra, speaking of her makes me angry," another customer on the side slapped the table. "Clearly not a student, but she insisted on wearing a Slytherin school uniform, causing me to make a big fool of myself."

"Ah, it's Professor Lu Ping!" Harry greeted him happily. "Are you also here to drink something?"

"Harry!" His face carried a student-like bad smile. "I'm waiting for Padfoot; we're going to do a big thing. I feel it's better not to tell you, but perhaps he will want to take you with him."

"Hi hi, then wait until Padfoot comes. Now who will explain Cassandra to me?" Alina sat down at the table familiarly and greeted. "Four Butterbeers, please."

"This, actually she is a student's parent," Zhang Qiu said. "However, ever since Professor Lu Ping thought there really was this student and then went to Snape to complain and complained for nothing, now almost everyone does bad things outside the school and throws it to 'Cassandra'."

"Oh yes, speaking of which, have you checked her true identity and parents' situation?" Harry asked casually. "This matter is quite important; it relates to whether Trig can participate in student movements."

"Speaking of which, she is also quite miserable. She was pregnant by a scumbag in the third year and dropped out of school, raising Trig alone," Zhang Qiu explained to Alina. "She is from Yingzhou, her real name is Zhenzhong Liannai, and her parents disappeared when she was very young."

Alina, who was giggling originally, slowly stopped laughing and instead showed some sympathy.

"To be precise, her mother disappeared when she was fourteen. Two years later, her maternal grandfather found her in swaddling clothes at the door of his house. The old man thought she should be his own granddaughter, so he gave her a name and raised her," Zhang Qiu searched for records in her notebook. After all, this was information checked last year. "What else do you want to know?"

"Her mother, Trig's grandmother, is she a wizard?" Harry asked. "After all, many so-called disappearances may just be the parties entering the Wizarding World to live."

"That's really not it. Her mother's name is Zhenzhong Hehuan, and she came into contact with some... in an inappropriate age," Zhang Qiu weighed her words. "She came into contact with some dark sides of the Muggle world, so Trig's maternal grandfather—although we didn't check who he was, he should be a Muggle without running."

"I really don't know whether to call it good news or bad news," Harry sighed.

"Hiccup, then what is her situation now?" Alina asked curiously.

"Now, her son is growing up healthily at Hogwarts," Zhang Qiu directly hid the part about Donald. "She herself relies on savings to open a small shop in Hogsmeade, and life is not bad."

"That's right, life always has to look forward. In this way, at least Trig's bloodline is clear, and no one can pick out any faults," Harry echoed.

"Are you talking about the movement to treat Muggle-borns kindly initiated by Trig?" Lu Ping interjected. "That's very right. If I were younger, I would also organize one, for example, a movement to treat werewolves kindly."

Alina blinked her eyes and asked in a seemingly very naive tone: "But what does that have to do with you? You are not a werewolf."

"Cough cough cough," Harry immediately interrupted her. "This is why we have to examine Trig's bloodline. If he is not a pure Muggle-born, he will be very awkward in this movement."

"Oh, are you giving the students a small stove again?" A happy voice came. Harry looked back happily, and it was indeed Sirius.

"Ah, this is not still a period of time before the evening," Lu Ping said. "Is your side going smoothly?"

"Not bad, but, we perhaps shouldn't talk about things here," Sirius looked around casually. "Let's change a place to talk. By the way, Harry, you come too."

"Alina, I'll take you to Honeydukes to see," Luo En said suddenly.

"I'll go too," Zhang Qiu said. "Haven't been there for a long time."

"Rest assured, children, it's not a dangerous thing," Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder. "Tomorrow I will send him back exactly as he is."

"Alright, see you tomorrow," Harry thought about it and added: "Help me tell Neville that the gathering with the Badger House will be changed to the day after tomorrow."

After a dizzying rotation, Harry followed Sirius and Lu Ping to Apparate to a place. Many tents were set up here in an orderly manner, and a large open space was left in the middle. Many wizards were coming in and out, discussing something lively, as if they had returned to the scene of the Quidditch World Cup again.

"Wow, where is this?" Harry asked.

"A forest in Albania," Sirius waved his hand. "But in the future, this place will be called Gilneas, the Kingdom of Werewolves."

"My... God!" Harry looked at the wizards coming and going. Their clothes revealed a sense of poverty, but their faces were filled with excited smiles.

"You really did this?" Harry couldn't help pulling Sirius's sleeve. "And Professor Lu Ping agreed?"

"Yes, after the courses of this semester ended, I felt that I could come to do this big thing," Lu Ping said, and suddenly sighed. "If James saw that we had made such a big scene, he would definitely be very excited."

"It doesn't matter, let Harry take a look; it's the same," Sirius sighed along with him, but what he said was still very optimistic.

"Yes, who would have thought that werewolves could also have a day to live in the sun?" Lu Ping also changed to a positive tone. "In the future, this place might even become a tourist attraction, as long as they pick the days to come. How stimulating it is; wizards will definitely be willing to come and take a look."

"But the pillar industry must be factories," Sirius said. "Food processing plants, pre-made dishes, various air-dried meat products and canned goods, and also classic British sausages."

"Of course, we are still considering whether to associate this brand with werewolves at the beginning," Sirius stroked his chin. "After all, some people always have inexplicable fear of werewolves."

"But how do you intend to solve the werewolf transformation problem?" Harry asked. "Call everyone to the square every full moon, and then stare at each other?"

"No, this won't work," Lu Ping said. "Werewolves will want to attack humans after transforming on the full moon. Even if there is the company of werewolves or other animals around, this desire for blood will not dissipate."

"Eh? Will it be like this?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I have actually studied the situation of werewolves very thoroughly," Lu Ping said seriously. "This also has to thank Zhang Qiu for being willing to teach me those moon phase spells invented by Master Xuanjun, allowing me to control the number and time of my werewolf transformations, which helped me summarize some laws."

"You know, before this, werewolves could not control this transformation," Sirius added. "They only transform into werewolves on the full moon, and if it is not a full moon, they will absolutely not transform."

"That's right. At first, I suppressed my transformation with Dark Moon spells on every full moon day. At that time, I thought Master Xuanjun had invented a great spell sufficient for werewolves to live like normal wizards," Lu Ping said. "But I soon discovered that without transformation, the werewolf's desire for blood would increase instead and accumulate in the body. In less than two months, I almost couldn't eat cooked meat, and I would unconsciously want to attack them when I saw people."

"Then what to do?" Harry was attracted by Lu Ping's statement because he looked very relaxed now, not at all like someone who had been tortured by his werewolf identity.

"That day I really couldn't bear it, so I thought of a way, or rather, I was overwhelmed," Lu Ping recalled with lingering fear. "I returned to the Shrieking Shack and cast a Full Moon Curse on myself."

"That was my most painful transformation. When I woke up, I found that I had almost bitten off my entire right hand. Fortunately, the self-healing ability in the werewolf form is very strong, and in the end, it only left some scary scars," he continued. "That day was not a full moon. When the full moon of that month arrived, I realized that I couldn't use Dark Moon anymore, but it was not very embarrassing to open my mouth to trouble Snape, so I came to the Shrieking Shack, intending to survive it by myself again."

"But a magical thing happened," Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and said. "Clearly I didn't drink Wolfsbane Potion, but I miraculously maintained my sanity after transforming, and there was not much desire to attack humans." ===== CHAPTER 216 =====
