A day at Hogwarts

"To the Dark Lord

I will be dead before you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and plan to destroy it as soon as possible.

I am willing to die in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.

R.A.B."

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore and Lupin looked at the parchment left by Regulus Arcturus Black in silence.

In the painting on the wall, Phineas Black said in a deep voice: "This fool is a brave Black."

The headmasters in other paintings nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore said to Lupin: "I think many of our original understandings are wrong."

Lupin nodded silently and said to the headmaster: "I can go to Black and talk to him."

Dumbledore did not answer immediately, but thought seriously.

Charles was feeding Fawkes with snacks and found that its body had a tendency to turn into ruby.

He also thought about why Black asked him to hand over the Horcrux to Dumbledore. After thinking about it, he thought that it might be because Black thought that Horcruxes belonged to Horcruxes and Peter belonged to Peter. These were two different things.

Dumbledore finally said to Lupin: "Let's go to a place on the weekend. There are keys to solve some doubts there."

He didn't want to talk too much about Horcruxes. After putting the real and fake Horcruxes into a copper safe, he turned around and asked Charles seriously: "Why did Black find you?"

On the night of Halloween, Snape said that Charles helped Black enter the castle. He didn't believe it at the time, but Black was able to find Charles before them. There are many explanations behind this.

Charles pretended to be very depressed and said: "I need a lot of money to open a restaurant. For this, I asked someone to borrow money. The creditor was afraid that I would run away, so he made some preparations."

Dumbledore knew that he borrowed money from Grindelwald to open the restaurant. Grindelwald's money had long been gone. If the money was from Black, it would make sense.

Charles didn't want the headmaster to dwell on this matter in the future, so he continued, "He left and went to a friend's house to settle down. His friend was not at home at the time. Later, after some things happened, he met my teacher who was involved in the research of the werewolf antidote." "At that time, I was thinking about solving the problem of eating at Farbottom Castle. When he and I met again, I asked him to borrow money, and he gave me the money soon after." Dumbledore felt that what he said made sense. Just as he was about to ask a question, Lupin asked for help: "Who is your teacher, Professor Horace Slughorn?" Since the opening of the Dancing Grass Restaurant, professors have been talking about Charles's off-campus teacher in the lounge from time to time. The only clue is that this person was involved in the development of the werewolf antidote. Lupin thought about the wizard he had seen in the Himalayas for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who it was. Slughorn used to be Lupin's potion professor and the only wizard from Britain, so Lupin first suspected him. Charles shook his head and said, "It's not Mr. Slughorn. My teacher has always forbidden me to say his name, and I don't want to be disturbed." On the wall, Phineas Black left the frame silently and returned to the Black Mansion. Dumbledore and Lupin saw him say that and stopped asking. They had seen many wizards with strange tempers, as long as they were not Voldemort. At the same time, Dumbledore also had some guesses. During the last extracurricular teaching, Charles used a spell to force Snape to retreat. It was an oriental spell. Charles also had friends all over the world. Maybe this wizard was from the East. At this time, Professor McGonagall came back. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and asked, "So soon?" Professor McGonagall glared at her bestie and replied, "Jack already knows that Charles is back safely. I have classes later." Charles pinched his chin and thought, then turned to ask Dumbledore, "Principal, how about I be kidnapped once every weekend in the future... Ouch!" A hammer head appeared on the top of Professor McGonagall's wand, wrapped in leather like a boxing glove, and hit Charles on the head. After Professor McGonagall left, Dumbledore asked Charles how he would respond to Rita Skeeter's interview.

Charles thought about it and told Dumbledore a story.

It was about a young and handsome American wizard whose girlfriend ran away with someone else because he was bitten by a werewolf. When he was in great pain and drowning his sorrow in alcohol, he heard about the antidote for werewolves in the UK. When he came to inquire about it, he was anxious and had some misunderstandings, which made people think that Charles was kidnapped.

Charles exaggerated and told a lot of miserable stories of young people after breaking up. Dumbledore and Lupin were silent.

After listening, Lupin said, "You can write novels in the future."

Charles just smiled and didn't tell him that he told Lady Delacour the outline of the movie "Titanic" during the summer vacation. Lady Delacour expanded it into a wizard version of the novel, and he adapted it into a Muggle version.

Charles said to Dumbledore: "Professor, I think this is a good opportunity to change people's views on werewolves."

"You have a lot of say in the International Confederation of Wizards. I guess the teachers chose to make this public in Hogsmeade as a way of speaking. I hope you can make a difference in politics."

After hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Lupin and asked for his opinion.

Previously, Dumbledore had focused his attention on Black and Grindelwald and not put much thought into this aspect. Now that Charles reminded him, he felt that what he said made sense.

Lu Ping said: "I have been taking medicine on time for the past few months. I felt nothing unusual on the full moon night not long ago, and the desire to eat meat has also faded a lot."

"I think this medicine is effective. Even if it cannot cure the disease, it can prevent it from turning into an irrational werewolf."

"Now that we have a dawn in our lives, more people should know about it, and at the same time, we should avoid the kidnapping of Charles from happening again."

Charles also said: "When Ruby comes back, I will have it send a letter to the teacher to ask if there are any new results."

"If they need to expand the scale of the drug trial, I can provide a sum of money to sponsor St. Mungo's Hospital to be responsible for some of the werewolf drug trials in Europe."

After the restaurant opened, he asked the old man about it and got a piece of news that made sense.

"I guess there may be some good news over there in the Himalayas!" Lupine suddenly shouted, attracting Dumbledore and Charles's attention.

Lupine said: "I heard that they were studying large-scale planting of Malifasa. In the summer, I heard that they had preliminary results. I think it must have been successful!"

Charles thought that he had guessed it right. The Marifasa plant grown over there through large-scale asexual propagation had the same medicinal effect.

At the same time, relevant experts have preliminary research on the growing environment of Malifasa. They can plant it on a large scale next spring and harvest it by the Mid-Autumn Festival in September.

Dumbledore said: "It would be a good thing if it can be grown on a large scale. If there are enough raw materials, we can produce enough medicine for the whole world."

"I'll have the International Confederation of Wizards contact them and then push for treatment for werewolves."

Charles wanted to fish here, but Dumbledore looked at the time and drove Charles to class.
