Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 87: Werewolf Settlement

To be fair, Hagrid is not a good storyteller.

There is no specially adjusted cadence, and there is no wonderful description. Hagrid just tells the stories that may have been distorted in the most simple and simple tone.

A simple background:

In England, it is said that a man once tore up the contract with his brother, the king, and sought power to usurp the throne while his brother was leading an army on an expedition. However, he himself practiced tyranny, and the people in the kingdom were in dire straits.

Later, his brother successfully returned to China and defeated him.

But instead of killing him directly, he forgave his crimes and designated him as the heir to the throne.

However, the mistake has been made.

Because of his tyranny and his previous unscrupulousness, the usurper had unintentionally offended a large number of wizards.

It's not that wizards don't have friends, they have friends and family who are Muggles.

It is said that when these people were persecuted to death, the wizards began to prepare for revenge. They prepared a curse and mixed a potion, hoping to use this potion to kill him directly.

However, due to various reasons, the magic potion did not have the expected effect at the time.

Not only was the usurper safe, but he also ruled as king for a period after his brother's death.

It wasn't until his death that his body showed signs of mutation, and his body turned into a muscular werewolf, which rioted on a full moon night and infected the residents of a small town on the spot.

"And in the end, it was Hogwarts that ended these farces. It is said that the old Ms. Hufflepuff let the rioting werewolf king sleep underground, and infected those wolves she could find.

The residents with the disease moved to the Forbidden Forest and allowed them to live under the protection of the centaurs. This is the origin of the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest."

What Hagrid got here was obviously not first-hand information, and he also used many uncertain words when talking about this origin story.

But this does not hinder the integrity of the story.

But there is still a completely unavoidable problem here:

"Are you talking about the origin of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest or the origin of werewolves in general?"

After hearing Connor's question, Hagrid was in a daze for a moment.

"Of course it is the origin of these werewolves in the Forbidden Forest...& Speaking of the origin of werewolves, what is the origin?"

"The origin of the first werewolf was a pure magical accident. It was a mutation caused by being bitten by a wolf and taking the wrong treatment... Well, that's what I heard."

"Yeah?"

Hagrid couldn't help but scratch his big face.

"Is that what it says in the book? I always think that the curse is more reliable. How can there be no suppression method for purely treating wrong mutations?"

However, whether it is potions or herbs, these are actually within Hagrid's blind spot of knowledge.

He does not have a specific concept of the value of many objects.

However, he doesn't go too far.

If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it!

"Anyway, after that, the werewolves settled in the Forbidden Forest."

After coming back to his senses, Hagrid just said this.

"In the company of these animals and centaurs, from time to time outsiders get permission to voluntarily give up their wands and human identities to join the settlement here."

"Give up your human identity?"

"Yes, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest are different from those outside. They are accompanied by centaurs. When the moon is full, the centaurs will guard them to provide protection. However, the price for joining the Forbidden Forest is to give up the wand and use the simplest method to protect them.

Live your life in this way and you can never leave it for the rest of your life.”

"Hmm...it sounds a little sad."

"It's not sad to say the least. In fact, these werewolves have become accustomed to life in the Forbidden Forest, because the entire forest is huge and has everything. They even persuaded Lupine to stay and not go to the outside world more than ten years ago."

"Lupin?"

"Ahhhh..."

Realizing that he had missed something, Hagrid quickly covered his mouth.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Is this Lupine you're talking about a werewolf?"

"..."

Hagrid suddenly fell silent.

"To be honest, he is the best werewolf I have ever seen, bar none."

Subconsciously looking around, Hagrid finally just raised his big finger in front of his lips.

"Don't tell anyone else about this, okay? This world is not friendly to werewolves."

After all, they are a group that can infect ordinary people and even wizards through bites and scratches.

In terms of its ability to infect, lycanthropy is actually more terrifying than the scarlet fever spread by vampires.

As far as the current wizarding society is concerned, there is a possibility of curing scarlet fever, and with a supply of blood, becoming a vampire also requires a high degree of self-control.

But werewolves are different.

Regardless of whether there is enough food or not, they will eventually go berserk one day.

"Rationality will gradually disappear and be swallowed up by wildness. This is a werewolf...or, in other words, this is actually a common problem of lycanthropes."

This is true whether it is lycanthropy or blood-cursed orcs obtained through pure black magic.

"Here we are."

Just after the two of them crossed a small stream, Hagrid suddenly spoke.

At the same moment, Connor also saw the earthen wall under the moonlight.

The earthen wall itself was built very high, and even now it has an ancient atmosphere, with scratches all over it.

"These earthen walls were built to isolate the inside and outside."

Seeing that Connor kept staring, Connor just explained like this.

"But to be honest, few people would come here. Centaurs generally prohibit wizards from entering here. Last year, two little Weasley guys ran in and were scared back by the centaurs."

"The Weasley twins?"

"Yes, that's them, they are very naughty... The door is here, come with me."

Hagrid took Connor to a closed door, which was unlocked.

"Hiss, those centaurs walk really fast. I saw them guarding the door here before to prevent werewolves from running out."

After scratching his head, Hagrid reached out and pushed open the heavy door, and the scene inside the earthen wall appeared in front of Connor.

There are many houses that are not high, which seem to symbolize each family. There are about a dozen households in each forest.

But the most eye-catching thing is the huge cave in the deepest part.

"That cave..."

"That's provided to these werewolves during the full moon."

Hagrid couldn't help but sigh.

"Werewolves, these people have periods of weakness and pain every month. After being infected with lycanthropy, they feel that their lives are ruined."

"Well, I don't deny that."

"Connor, do you think it's possible for werewolves to be completely cured?"

Suddenly, Hagrid asked this question.

This is also a casual question without any thought.

And he quickly scratched his head.

"Just pretend I haven't asked. After all, you are still young and it is impossible for you to know this..."

"able."

"Eh?"

Under Hagrid's shocked eyes, the young man just carried his suitcase and walked towards the cave.

"Lycanthropy can not only be cured, but also managed."
