Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1669 A War without a Winner (One Hundred and Nineteen)

As Lee Jordan said in the wizard's watch station broadcast, when the werewolf scourge completely broke out in the UK, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic could not find time to provide rescue to the wizards who were threatened by werewolves. , or that there is no way to find extra manpower to provide rescue.

Aurors need to prioritize suppressing Muggle-dense areas to ensure that werewolves do not cause large-scale chaos in the Muggle world and cause irreparable disaster.

Of course, there is actually another reason why Kingsley chose to let Aurors deal with werewolves in the Muggle world first:

Most wizards live in sparsely populated places. Even if there are traces of werewolves around, the harm that group of beasts can cause is very limited.

What's more, as long as anyone who listens to the werewolf science broadcast at Wizard Lookout Station is not too stupid, they should know how to protect themselves and their families from the threat of werewolves.

Maybe someone who is eager to give it a try has secretly followed the method provided by Lee Jordan and successfully brought down the active werewolf near his home.

In this case, there is naturally less need to prioritize it.

As for accidents?

That can only be their own misfortune.

After all, it is impossible to guard against it.

What's more, even if you send a letter to the Ministry of Magic for help, it will still take a long time before the Ministry of Magic will send an Auror to solve the problem.

Not to mention, tonight.

After the werewolves emerged in droves, the Ministry of Magic was mostly empty.

The Aurors have been divided into teams of five and have begun to hunt the werewolves that suddenly appeared across the UK.

Behind this group of Aurors, there was also a group of unlucky guys who were responsible for helping with the aftermath.

However, hunting werewolves is not all smooth sailing.

Voldemort's remnants deliberately threw werewolves into the big city, causing quite a commotion.

When Harry's team arrived in a hurry, many Muggles had been bitten and killed. The large-scale chaos caused by this brought great trouble to the Aurors who hunted werewolves.

"It's time to go, Ron."

Harry tapped Ron on the shoulder, who was stunned, and reminded him that it was time to hunt werewolves elsewhere.

"oh."

Ron responded, looking a little distracted.

"are you OK?"

Harry stopped, looked back at Ron, who was pale and absent-minded, and sighed silently in his heart.

"I'm fine."

"He was bitten. Rather than turning into a werewolf, it would be easier to die directly." Harry comforted softly.

Just when the five of them joined forces to kill a violent werewolf, Ron's explosive spell accidentally affected a Muggle who was bitten by the werewolf, and exploded the unlucky guy's head.

"How about going back first?" Harry suggested.

Ron shook his head and rejected Harry's proposal. He would not abandon his companions and run away.

It didn't happen before, and it won't happen now either.

"Believe me, no one wants to become such a monster. Many people are not even willing to live after being bitten by a werewolf, because they will suffer great pain after becoming a werewolf."

The veteran Auror who led the team stopped and looked back at Harry and Ron, who were lagging behind. "You were helping him, but the way was a bit... special."

"I'll snap out of it in a heartbeat."

Although Ron said that verbally, the manslaughter just now was indeed a heavy blow to Ron.

Even though Ron had participated in the tragic Battle of Hogwarts and had rich combat experience after becoming an Auror, this was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands, and he had killed someone accidentally.

"If you can't adapt, it's best to return to the Ministry of Magic first. It would be fatal to participate in the next hunt absentmindedly." The leader of the Auror frowned slightly and looked at Ron, and decisively stepped forward to give him pros and cons. Slap warned in a very cold tone, "If you don't want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, cheer up. No one here can spare the energy to take care of you."

"Feel sorry."

Ron lowered his head, knowing that he was holding the team back.

"The one you should apologize to is yourself. If you are bitten by a werewolf because of this, you will not even have the chance to regret it."

The leading Auror stared at Ron and asked, "Tell me, do you want to go back or continue hunting werewolves with us."

"I want to stay," Ron said loudly.

"Very good, then take care of yourself and don't hold your teammates back." The leader of the Auror looked around at his team members and said, "I hope I can bring you all back safe and sound, do you understand?"

"Understood."

"It's time to go, we're a little slow."

In fact, similar cases are not uncommon among Aurors, especially the new Aurors who are young and mentally immature. It is normal to encounter a little setbacks in many cases.

If the task has been completed, he doesn't mind enlightening the other party.

But not now. They still need to rush to the next place to continue to deal with the hidden dangers of werewolves, and they can't distract themselves from taking care of Ron's emotions.

However, sometimes the provoking method is not easy to use, especially after nearly eliminating another werewolf, the leading Auror finally chose to abandon Harry and let him take his partners back to the Ministry of Magic instead. Continue to stay and hold the team back.

"Sorry Harry, I..."

Ron looked at Harry, who was forced to stay and take care of him because of him, in great pain.

"We are not Dumbledore, nor Albert, we are just ordinary wizards." Harry looked at Ron calmly and said softly, "What we can do is very limited, so you can't expect us to be able to deal with werewolves as easily as Albert. Believe me, no one wants to see such an accident, but sometimes it is unavoidable. If you can't overcome this, I suggest you give up being an Auror and find another job."

"What else can you do if you don't become an Auror?"

Ron couldn't imagine what kind of ruthless ridicule he would suffer after giving up the lucrative job of Auror.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

"Then cheer up, I know it's hard to ask, but..."

"I will."

Ron suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped himself several times, and then poured a bottle of vitality tonic into his mouth, and then he barely cheered up again.

"Sorry for making you worry."

"Let's go, they need us."

Harry knew that even though the Aurors had all the advantages from the beginning, the werewolves that transformed during the full moon were still difficult to deal with, especially when they needed to end the battle as soon as possible to avoid heavy casualties among the Muggles. The three-man team that lost Harry and Ron was directly caught in a tough battle.

There was nothing they could do about it. After losing Harry, a reliable helper, the other two newcomers could only provide limited help and could not help suppress the werewolves at all. Fortunately, Harry did not spend much time to rejoin the team.
