No one else knows this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fight?” Harry frowned. “Why are you focused on that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because of Fenrir Greyback.” Sirius interjected. “He was the leader of these werewolves, so he won’t sit idly while you take his position.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems werewolves prefer to change leaders through duels rather than speeches or votes—much like wolf packs.” Lupin shrugged. “I easily defeated that bastard in a wizard duel, but he refused to accept it and demanded a fight in werewolf form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s what you’re doing tonight,” Harry suddenly remembered today was the full moon, “a duel before all the werewolves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. And I have full confidence.” Lupin said. “A rational werewolf versus a beast—I will win for certain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you can use your werewolf transformation as cover to kill him openly.” Sirius said something astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, I’m still hesitating.” Lupin said. “Though he’s the source of my suffering, killing is still wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imprison him instead,” Harry suggested. “Locked in a cage, it might be worse than death for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the approving glances of the two elders, Harry voiced his next concern: “But Sirius can watch the duel safely in his Animagus form—what about me? I can’t become an Animagus. I might be attacked by the werewolf audience.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve considered this.” Sirius pointed to a tent nearby. “We—myself, Sir Crowley, Albanian officials, and some gang enforcers—all ride brooms to watch from the sky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir Crowley!” Harry exclaimed. “He told me he was busy with something major in Albania—so this is it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Sirius explained. “He and several Albanian Muggle officials will arrive at dusk, escorted by Albanian Aurors. Tonight, after Lupin defeats Fenrir, he will publicly announce the founding of the Werewolf Kingdom in front of everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last night, I cast the Full Moon Spell for everyone.” Lupin smiled. “They’ll witness the end of the old era and the dawn of a new life while fully conscious in werewolf form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, so your solution to werewolf transformation is—” Harry suddenly understood—“casting the Full Moon Spell multiple times a month so everyone stays awake during the full moon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. This also considers the issue of werewolf offspring.” Lupin said. “Our children won’t be werewolves, so when they’re born, we must restrain ourselves from attacking them—if we can’t, we can send them to be raised in the Muggle world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So over time, werewolves will disappear from the world?” Harry asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Gilmnis becomes well-known in the wizarding world, werewolves from everywhere will come here for refuge.” Sirius said. “Meanwhile, wizards from around the globe will visit on scheduled dates. When tourism thrives and the population gradually declines, every werewolf’s life will improve until a wizard voluntarily becomes one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Voluntarily? Oh right—with the Full Moon Spell, being a werewolf isn’t so terrible.” Harry agreed. “And this place is meant for werewolves—they won’t be shunned; they’ll even be proud.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Harry.” Lupin patted his shoulder. “We’ve planned every detail of this nation’s future—it’s the result of the Order of the Phoenix and the Albanian Ministry of Magic working together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Order of the Phoenix? So Dumbledore knows about this?” Harry nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… how to put it.” Sirius scratched his head. “He might know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve broken at least three hundred school rules.” Lupin shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius suddenly burst into laughter—Harry guessed it was some joke from their student days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished laughing, Sirius said seriously: “Werewolves have always lived under the Dark Lord’s rule. I can’t abruptly turn them against him—or at least, not make them serve Dumbledore immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the werewolves will pledge loyalty to me, and I publicly maintain a neutral stance, cooperating only with the ‘Nightfather.’” Lupin said. “The Death Eaters will assume the werewolves answer to the Nightfather, further elevating his status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. I’ve noticed the Dark Lord rarely intervenes in Death Eater conflicts—he probably just thinks I dislike Fenrir’s stupidity and decided to bring the werewolves under my command.” Sirius said. “But in truth, I can now legitimately act arrogantly toward Malfoy and Lestrange, refuse cooperation, and betray them anytime I choose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, evening arrived. Harry and Sirius finished dinner early and headed to the camp entrance to greet the other human spectators for the duel. When the long-absent Sir Crowley gently stroked Harry’s hair, both smiled in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as darkness fell, everyone mounted brooms and flew into the sky; some Muggle officials rode with Aurors. Harry and Sirius hovered steadily, while Sir Crowley was carried by an Albanian Auror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry noticed a man suddenly Apparate into the center of the clearing. His face was grotesquely ugly—even in human form, he radiated a beastly aura that made one uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fenrir, you didn’t run away.” Lupin said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! You think a few spells fooled me?” Fenrir shouted. “When the full moon rises, I’ll tear you apart—just as I should’ve done thirty years ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. Exactly thirty years.” Lupin nodded. “I won’t kill you. You must atone for every person you’ve attacked over these thirty years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stared coldly at each other. As the moonlight bathed the ground, everyone began to transform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike others who turned into gray or black wolves, Lupin’s fur turned white. His transformation into werewolf form was seamless, as smooth as Sirius turning into a black dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenrir’s werewolf form was merely an ordinary, slightly humanoid wolf—perhaps a bit larger than average, but not by much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lupin’s werewolf form was no longer wolf-like. His forelimbs became massively thickened; his body no longer crouched on the ground but stood upright. His five fingers remained, now tipped with sharp claws. He could even hold his wand or other weapons—like a silver sword—after transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin stood there in his white wolf form, right hand gripping the prepared silver sword, coldly watching the transformed Fenrir. This former werewolf leader had not been exposed to the Full Moon Spell beforehand, so he was now a completely mindless beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin plunged the silver sword into the grass beside him, let out a long howl toward the sky, then charged straight at Fenrir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone’s gaze, he landed a perfect uppercut, sending the wolf-form Fenrir flying. When Fenrir charged again, Lupin easily smashed him down with a crushing punch, then grabbed his tail and slammed him into the ground once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several brutal impacts, Fenrir’s wolf fur faded, and he reverted to human form, his tiny, pea-sized eyes filled with terror. Had the grass not been soft, he might already be dead. Lupin merely sneered and tossed him into the prepared cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, all the wolves began howling at the moon, celebrating the birth of the new Wolf King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet down,” Lupin spoke in his wolf form—Harry was stunned, for Animagi were never supposed to speak due to different vocal cords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps werewolves differ slightly from Animagi, Harry thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, we declare the founding of the Werewolf Kingdom—Gilmnis!” He clenched his fist. “If any of you have ever dreamed of living beneath the sun, your dream will come true. But if anyone still refuses to abandon attacking humans and wishes to remain in darkness, Fenrir is your fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks to Xuan Jun’s Moon Phase Spell, from now on, Gilmnis’s full moon will occur not once a month, but once a week. Every Friday night, we will raise the full moon to help everyone remain conscious during transformation.” Lupin’s voice continued. “We will open factories, allowing everyone to support themselves through honest labor. I am your king, Jean Greymane. I am willing to listen to every voice. Now, let us cheer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished than Lupin howled first—and all the wolves joined in a chorus of howls.\u003C\u002Fp>",1364,"2026-06-21T04:54:29.094Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","807d13a4fc4a3ce79ec4a72cc48e25b5c0bdee878289d9fe4c2cb8a4556aa420","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-217","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-215",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-war-at-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
