The day of the duel at Hogwarts

Werewolves have always been a big problem in the wizarding world.

Not just because they can continuously expand their population through transformation through bite infection, nor just because they lose their minds on full moon nights and destroy and kill indiscriminately.

The biggest problem with werewolves is their amazing magic resistance and agility that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Thanks to the fact that werewolves can only transform on full moon nights, otherwise it is still unclear who belongs to the magical world.

In this regard, the Ministry of Magic has also implemented many measures, such as some preferential policies for werewolves. However, in a white society that is essentially full of racial discrimination, the Ministry of Magic is no exception. While they have introduced preferential policies for werewolves, they also discriminate and avoid them. For werewolves, those werewolves who choose to believe the Ministry of Magic, disclose their werewolf identities and register them will end up in poverty or falling into darkness.

The former is Lupin, and the latter is how at least half of the werewolves of the Greyback clan joined them.

Regarding the Greyback clan, the Ministry of Magic has also introduced some policies, such as forming a werewolf law enforcement team, selecting outstanding Aurors to lead the team, arresting, and even hunting werewolves. At first, this policy was quite effective. and killed some werewolves, but later, when werewolf clans such as the Greyback clan learned of the existence of the werewolf law enforcement team, they in turn hunted them and their families.

On non-full moon nights, werewolves hide in deep mountains and forests, or in the Muggle world.

Once the full moon comes, the werewolves come out to kill. Their powerful magic resistance and agility are simply a nightmare for wizards.

Nowadays, the Werewolf Law Enforcement Team is one of the most failed political proposals of the Ministry of Magic. The Werewolf Law Enforcement Team itself is also the department with the most casualties in the Ministry of Magic. So far, the Werewolf Law Enforcement Team is in a semi-abandoned state, except for a few injured and elderly people. Still in this department, no one else is joining.

Defeat the Ministry of Magic head-on, making it unable to do anything to them.

This has fueled the arrogance of the werewolf clans from the side. For example, the Grayberg clan under the leadership of Fenrir has recently been committing many major crimes and has a notorious reputation, forcing the Ministry of Magic to temporarily be at odds with the werewolf clans. In a delicate balance.

At this time, Fenrir, who had grown so swollen that he no longer took Hogwarts too seriously, sent two werewolves to Hogsmeade, and Sean, their target, was sitting next to Lupine, who was also a werewolf. In class, I took notes quietly.

The class ended and Sean and Blaise walked out of the classroom together.

At this moment, Sean saw Harry catching up with him, and looked at Harry with some confusion. Sean asked, "Harry, what's wrong with you?"

"Sean, I want to learn the Patronus Charm from Professor Lupin. Hermione said she wanted me to ask you for advice first, so..."

Hearing Harry's words, Sean knew that Hermione wanted Sean to help persuade Harry not to let him study with Lupine in private, although Hermione was already able to accept Lupine's werewolf identity during daily classes. , but she still didn't dare to let her friend stay with a werewolf in private.

It's just that Hermione probably never thought that before Harry and Professor Lupine learned the Patronus Charm, Sean had already learned it from Professor Lupine, and Professor Lupine himself could be regarded as Harry's elder, and he would never harm him. Harry's, except of course Lupine who had not taken the Wolfsbane potion and was in a full moon state.

"Harry, maybe you don't know, but I have learned the Patronus Charm from Professor Lupin before. Professor Lupine is a very responsible and capable person. If you want to learn the Patronus Charm from him, I fully support it." your thoughts."

Of course Harry could feel Hermione's objection. In fact, he came to Sean to see if Sean was also opposed to his request to learn the Patronus Charm from Lupine. If Sean was also opposed to it, After this incident, Harry will seriously consider whether he should insist on learning the Patronus Charm from Professor Lupine.

In fact, Harry knew very well that he had two smart people, Hermione and Sean, by his side. He should think more about their suggestions, especially Sean. Many of the principles he taught him turned out to be very correct, not to mention that Sean had saved him so many times, and Harry trusted Sean very much in his heart.

Now that he heard that Sean had also learned the Patronus Charm with Professor Lupin, he immediately made up his mind. Although Harry didn't see it at first, he later heard that Sean was alone in the Quidditch match. He used the Patronus Charm to repel three dementors, which made Harry very envious.

"Thanks, Sean, I'll go find Professor Lupin in a minute."

"Well, I believe you will successfully master the Patronus Charm. Come on."

Looking at Harry who turned to leave, Sean seemed to be able to see Hermione's disbelief after hearing Harry's decision.

Hermione: Thank you so much!

Christmas Eve.

Without the Buckbeak incident, everything was normal. The preparations for Christmas gave Hogwarts a much more festive and cheerful atmosphere, even Slytherin was no exception.

Three days before Christmas, when everyone got up in the morning, they saw a very large Christmas tree in the Slytherin common room. The green Christmas tree was hung with various silver ornaments. Occasionally there were Candy grows on the Christmas tree and falls to the ground when ripe.

Whenever candy falls, the first and second grade wizards nearby will fight for it. Of course, there are also third graders like Goyle and Crabbe. If Sean hadn't glared at them, Hal and Crabbe would have been frightened. One person dropped the candy he grabbed and ran away covering his crotch, so these little wizards in first and second grade were really lucky enough to get the candy grown by the Christmas tree.

Sean, accompanied by Blaise, sent out the prepared gifts through the owl.

The gifts were for Sean's parents and brother, as well as Gavin and Elena.

On Aldridge's side, Sean sent him some money directly as a Christmas gift. For Aldridge, who was a little worried about the placement of those children, the money just solved his urgent need, and it was a very good Christmas gift. .

In the Christmas atmosphere, even classes are filled with laughter.

But Sean's ancient magic text teacher, Professor Babling, is one of the few people in Hogwarts who has little interest in Christmas. Her race does not have the habit of celebrating Christmas, and even rejects it.

The stronger the Christmas atmosphere in Hogwarts became, the more Professor Babling became unaccustomed to it, especially when Sean once again stopped her from leaving the classroom by jumping out of the window and asked questions for more than an hour. My mood has hit rock bottom!
