Chapter 241：

The moonlight lengthened their shadows, and Lu Ping was glad that it was not a full moon today, otherwise this community would probably be deserted.

Walking under a tree, Old Jack stopped.

Lu Ping looked around and saw that there were many scratches and impact marks on the tree. These were the scars caused by werewolves killing each other.

Fenrir likes to let two werewolves fight each other, like raising worms, to cultivate powerful werewolves.

But now, there is a group of people surrounding the big tree that symbolizes blood.

Among them there are old ones, some young ones, and some with scars on their faces and mutilated bodies.

They are both werewolves. The little werewolf is at home, while they are playing chess outside.

"Damn it, I lost again."

"Haha, can you do it?"

"In the past, everyone lived in the wild. Where did you learn wizard chess?"

"Hey, I learned it when I was a kid. I haven't touched it since I was bitten. If it weren't for Mr. Silver Hand, I might never be able to sit down and play chess in this life."

The speaker was a middle-aged werewolf with scars on his face.

Lupine recognized him. He was once one of Fenrir's subordinates. He was brave and fierce, and the scars on his body were all left when he went crazy again and again.

Opposite him was a middle-aged werewolf with Mediterranean hair. He said with a sigh on his face: "Yes, I can't even imagine such a life. In the past, I just wanted to live, and I never dared to ask for extravagant life."

Werewolves, who are at the bottom of the wizarding society, all resonate. They could not even find a job before, or if they found one, they packed up and left after being discovered to be werewolves.

It usually takes several months or years to get an opportunity.

The life of ordinary people is an unattainable dream for werewolves.

They were squeezed out again and again and driven away maliciously again and again.

Some will self-exile into the wild and return to the forest, while others will join Fenrir with resentment towards the wizarding society.

They have no other way out, not even school.

Lu Ping fully understands this.

Lupine did poorly in society, but he was the best among the werewolves.

At least he still has the opportunity to receive a complete education after becoming a werewolf.

He did well at Hogwarts and became a Gryffindor prefect.

But so what?

After entering society, he is still the least popular one.

Even a guy who is mediocre or even full of problems can live an easier life than him and find a job.

Lupine has been wandering for a long time after the fall of Voldemort. He needs to ensure that he will not hurt others after becoming a werewolf.

"It's fine now. Thanks to Mr. Johnny Silverhand, I can get paid in the field I love."

The werewolf with scars on his face swept away the gloom, his face full of joy and gratitude.

He is now a professional wizard chess player. He signed up for the competition last year and got a good result. Although the bonus is not much, it is enough for him to spend. He can also save money for a bottle of wolfsbane potion every month.

"Sir Johnny Silverhand gave me a new life. I no longer have to face strange looks in the community."

The Mediterranean werewolf was also grateful from the bottom of his heart, and the people around him also started talking in a variety of ways.

"I have been homeless for seven years, and it was only in Knockturn Alley that I was not prejudiced and received my first salary." The werewolf with sunken cheeks shed tears.

"I like reading, and I found a job in a bookstore. For the first time, they didn't think I would tear the books in the bookstore into pieces." The young man wearing a metal frame said with emotion.

"My wife and I have known each other for ten years. If it weren't for the Little Wizard Foundation founded by Johnny Silverhand, I'm afraid I would never have given birth to a child in my life. The world is too miserable, and I don't want my child to suffer the same way." The couple looked at each other. A smile with deep love.

More and more people are getting involved, including families who have adopted a werewolf cub, and parents who came because their children turned into werewolves.

There are young people who should be high-spirited but look miserable, and there are girls who should be loved but are cursed.

They are all people who have regained their lives under the care of the werewolf community or Johnny Silverhand.

Before the Silver Hand flag was hung up, they just wanted to live, and some even didn't want to live.

But now, they all feel full of hope, as if they have come to the world for the first time and are receiving kindness.

Lupine was silent.

Old Jack said lightly: "You see, the dangerous wizard you mentioned is our savior. He may not have the upright and great image of Dumbledore, but he did change our destiny."

"Dumbledore is on the altar. He may not be discriminatory against werewolves, but he has never wanted to change us."

"Johnny Silverhand is real, he drives away bad people for us.

He built a school for us so that werewolves could also receive education.

He advocates werewolf entrepreneurship, and the Little Wizard Fund will always leave a free bottle of wolfsbane potion to the little werewolf.

These are all real before us. "

Old Jack looked at Lupine and said with the wisdom of the old man: "Remus, the whole world can betray Lord Johnny Silverhand, but we can't. Werewolves can't betray Lord Johnny Silverhand, even if the mysterious man kills Even if we die, we will not do this.”

This is told to Lu Ping as an elder and a friend.

Old Jack is not lacking in wisdom. Even if he has never gone to school, he still has farsightedness that is beyond ordinary people.

He had experienced Voldemort's period, and it was a very difficult time.

He had also imagined that Voldemort might change the werewolf's situation.

But he was wrong. Not only would Voldemort not change werewolves, he would also turn werewolves into machines that could only kill.

Voldemort wouldn't do it, and neither would Dumbledore.

They were too high to see the werewolves at the bottom.

"We already have our own savior and don't need anyone else to create one for us."

Therefore, Old Jack finally said: "Remus, we have seen the sunshine, received the warm caress, and tasted the milk. We are not willing to return to the dark valley without seeing the sun, even if it means death."

His words are ordinary.

But it was deafening and enlightening.

A voice sounded in Lupine's head, Remus, put your arrogance away, they don't need to be saved.

They are already in the light.

…

Chapter 265 Old Batty and the election

John didn't think that much about Old Jack, and he never thought that what he did would make Old Jack want to be loyal to him.

It may be that his concept is different from others.

Dumbledore is a pure-blood. Even though he has no prejudice against any wizard, he still has the arrogance of a pure-blood in his bones.

Even he himself didn't notice his condescending attitude toward the magical world.

According to the Celestial Empire, it can be regarded as inaction.

All he cares about are matters related to the survival of the magical world.

Those 'little things' cannot make Dumbledore care.

Oh, right.

Except Harry Potter.

Voldemort, who was originally a product of the love potion, did not understand love by nature. He thought more about how to build prestige through fear.

This requires constant killing to establish power, and he is destined to not be able to feel the feelings of ordinary people.

As for the savior of the wizarding world, although Harry grew up in a Muggle society, from the moment he came into contact with magic, he was already biased towards wizards.

Because magic is the only thing in this world that can bring him a sense of security, and this sense of security is irreplaceable.

Everything he had was only obtained after entering the magical world.

There is endless wealth in Gringotts.

The respected title of savior.

A close friend in the magic school.

A kind and kind elder.

He actually enjoys all this, so much so that staying in Muggle society feels like a prison for him.

Just like when Mr. Weasley went to pick up Harry, the Weasley family was close to Muggles, but he also casually destroyed half of the Dursley family's living room.

Arrogance exists without knowing it.

For werewolves, the savior is a name that can often be heard, Dumbledore is an unreachable person, and Voldemort is a person with evil intentions.

Only Johnny Silverhand put change in front of him, making Old Jack convinced that he was the savior.

Regardless of whether it was a deliberate show, or just an inadvertent display of wealth to him.

None of this is important. The best evidence is that the things are there.

Lupine kept his promise and left after the evening.

John is busy with the election of Old Batty. He needs to get enough votes for Old Batty.

The best way is to give money.

Throwing real money is simple and crude, but practical.

The position of the Minister of Magic is too far away for ordinary people, but the immediate benefits are more real.

Under John's push, Old Barty's votes skyrocketed.

Old Barty's speech quality was very poor, so John hired the famous nonsense master Lockhart to give him tutoring lessons.

This election method, which is commonly used by Western Muggles, directly confused the simple and honest wizards.

Watching old Batty give a passionate speech on the stage, giving away free eggs, and drawing a big and round pie, many people were still unsatisfied.

For example, Old Barty will step up efforts to crack down on illegal poaching of wild magical animals.

Old Barty promised that after taking office, he would lead the local magic community to lead other countries.

Local manufacturing will be regained and reused, and taxes on alcohol in special areas will be reduced or reduced.

Strive to combat Death Eaters in three years and completely eliminate Death Eaters in five years.

As the cakes were drawn one by one, there were dozens of them, and the local wizards were all excited.

Even John gave old Barty a hard time. Forget about Lockhart, the guy who wrote the book, you dare to brag about it as a person doing serious business.

Under the influence of real money and big cakes, Old Barty successfully suppressed Amelia more than once.

During that time, the low pressure on Amelia made Pierce careful not to be caught.

Not only that, Amelia’s low pressure was more due to the disparagement of her in the newspapers.

As long as she makes a small mistake, Amelia will be attacked mercilessly.

For example, she just asked someone to help her pour a glass of water.

The next day's newspaper will appear in "Three inhumane things that Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, did to her subordinates."

What is obviously a small matter can develop into a bullying incident in the workplace.

Once she just didn't smile when she met Old Batty, and the newspaper said that she expressed dissatisfaction with the election, so she felt resentful.

Anyway, the image of being narrow-minded and dictatorial is all pinned on her.

This made Amelia very angry and helpless at the same time.

Because the people really believe this.

Her vote was almost untouched.

All of this, of course, was John’s fault.

He asked Rita to write an article in the newspaper, but the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet wanted to stop it.
