Vol 2 Chapter 522: Humiliation (modified, sincere thanks to the leader of the village beggar Hong 7)

Durmstrang, Draco and Zabini, who had already put the mandela grass in the crystal vial filled with their saliva last night, gathered at Draco’s. In the dormitory. The room was very quiet, only the voice of the host on the TV was broadcasting the news. Looking out from the tall window in the room, you can see a little snow falling outside, and small gray snowflakes set against the black sky.
"The Werewolf Control Bureau of the Ministry of Magic captured an out-of-control werewolf in Hogwarts who had not been registered with the Ministry of Magic. What is shocking is that after verification, this werewolf turned out to be Hogwarts's Dark Arts Defense Professor Lem Lupin..." The hostess in a white professional suit broadcast the report with emotion, her nose flushed with cold.
Behind her was the tall werewolf who was firmly bound by ropes. Under its thick and thick black hair, the long fangs were very intimidating.
Dumbledore's penetrating eyes swept across the people on the court, and Umbridge smiled triumphantly.
"Friends, children: don't panic." Dumbledore's voice suddenly exploded in the noise. "I beg you to give me this old man time to speak. The werewolf in front of you is Professor Lupin, yes, he It is the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts class I personally invited. I have always known his situation. It is precisely because of my understanding of Remus Lupin that I fully trust him not to cause harm to students. Again. Previously, every week before the full moon, he had taken the wolf poison potion made by the potion master Professor Snape, so even when the moon was full, he would not completely become a werewolf, only a one. Just a sleepy ordinary wolf. Before that, Remus had never had a record of hurting people. Last week, Remus took the medicine as usual, so his loss of control tonight must be caused by someone. Framed up, his medicine should have been manipulated. Please believe me, give your Professor Lu Ping a dignity and give him a chance to prove himself."
Looking at the appearance of Professor Lupin at this time, he was thinking of Snape who almost killed himself when he was a student. He stepped forward a little annoyed by the words: "Dumbledore, I disdain to be in his medicine. Do it! If you don't trust me, you can find someone else to do it for him before."
"Severus, you know I didn't mean that. Don't let the anger go to your head." Dumbledore frowned and explained to Snape.
"Principal Dumbledore, please allow me to interject, since this ugly werewolf..." Umbridge glared at Dumbledore's eyes, paused involuntarily, and continued to use her sweetness. The false voice said, "Since Mr. Remus Lupin can be manipulated by others in his medicine because of carelessness this time, what guarantee do you have to guarantee that such a thing will not happen again, Principal Dumbledore? This time, luck was stopped by our Ministry of Magic. What if we didn’t find out in the first time next time? Principal Dumbledore, your personal decision was made because of your personal sympathy for Mr. Lupin. It’s true that the little wizards of the world are in danger without knowing it!"
Some of the little wizards around couldn't help but nodded their heads. For the first time, they felt that the Ministry of Magic member who was usually hated made sense.
"I can't believe it, I've been in close contact with a living werewolf for so long! If there is an accident, we are also infected, won't our life be ruined?!"
"It is taken for granted that the school allows a werewolf to live by our side, but it is totally unsure of our safety, and it does not take our students too seriously. I have to write to my family and tell them to protest against the school. But my father One of the school managers."
"Teacher Lupin is so kind to us on weekdays. I like his class very much, but I didn't expect him to be a werewolf."
"Maybe his gentle attitude towards us is to let us relax?"
"These werewolves are soulless and evil. The only thing they deserve is to be sent to Azkaban."
...
The tall werewolf apparently has gradually recovered his sanity under the drugs or curse of the Magical Animal Conservation Department, but at this time he was just sitting on the ground, with his head down quietly, unable to see him clearly. Expression, but the body that was trembling slightly now looked so small and humble.
Around him, some recovered students angrily reprimanded and vented their feelings of being concealed and deceived. More students, even those who had a good relationship with Professor Lupin, The wizards, although they did not participate in the abuse, the cold, unfamiliar and vigilant gazes cast from a distance were what made Lupin bow his head.
Tonight, a painful wound has been added to Remus Lu Pingyuan’s already tortured life.
Harry finally pulled the crowd away and came to Professor Lupin. He wanted to untie him, but he was stopped by a member of the Werewolf Control Bureau as soon as he approached. "No, Professor Lupin will not hurt others, no. !" Harry could feel Professor Lupin's sadness and humiliation at this time, and helplessly explained to the surrounding wizards.
Among the little wizards onlookers, Hufflepuff’s Hannah Abbot couldn’t bear to look at the scene in front of her.
Maybe what Harry said is true? You see, Professor Lupin has clearly regained his senses. He usually It's really gentle."
"Don't believe Harry Potter, and don't forget the news in the Daily Prophet. He has been trying to attract the attention of others with the lies returned by mysterious people. My mother was right. Now even Dumbledore can't believe it. ."Simo Finnigan
At the beginning of school, there was a dispute with Harry and the others, and at this time, it was like finding hard evidence to refute Hannah's hesitation.
"Professor Lupin once had a hundred chances to kill me. I spent a lot of time alone with him, but he never hurt me. You are the same, right? He is innocent." Harry looked down pleadingly. On the other Gryffindor companions, but their silence was only exchanged. Only Neville seemed to want to come forward and say something, but he glanced at the werewolf, shook slightly, and moved back a few times. Step forward, dare not look into Harry's eyes again.
The werewolf who had bowed his head suddenly raised his head, and the field was so frightened that many little wizards stepped back, trying to stay away from it.
However, his red eyes were fixed on Harry humanely, nodded to Harry, and then shook his head. He thanked Harry and told him to stop trying to speak for himself.
"I believe what Professor Dumbledore and Harry said, Professor Lupin is innocent." Hermione stood beside Lupin, and the group of people who had been behind Harry finally pushed to the front.
"I believe in Harry and Professor Lupin." Ginny stood beside Harry concisely, and took the initiative to reach out and hold Harry.
Ron hesitated to think about Lupin’s loss of control and crazy before, but in the end he puffed up his cheeks, glanced at Harry and the others, walked firmly to Lupin’s side, and dryly followed Hermione’s words: Innocent."
At this time, the camera lens turned around at this time and turned to the staff of the Werewolf Control Bureau. The broken clothes and scratches on their bodies made them look very embarrassed, which made Harry and the others explain to Lupin. The words seemed pale and weak.
The picture on the TV changed ~EbookFREE.me~ and it was still the female reporter. It was obviously daytime, and now she had left Hogwarts to interview some angry parents of students. .
"We strongly protest Professor Dumbledore's irresponsible behavior. If the safety of the child cannot be guaranteed, I would rather transfer him to another school."
"Hogwarts may never be the safest place in the world anymore. I am sorry for that."
"I expect the Ministry of Magic to take effective measures to ensure the safety of the children."
...
For a while, public opinion was very detrimental to Dumbledore. If he was able to reluctantly match Fudge with his previous prestige before, but now he can no longer maintain the previous balance. Even the parents of students who supported him or held a neutral attitude in the past were very dissatisfied with his arbitrarily hiring werewolves as professors, thus leaving their children in dangerous situations.
In this case, in order to protect Lupin from the Ministry of Magic, he was subjected to exaggerated accusations, and Dumbledore had to compromise with him.
Umbridge, whom Fudge madly praised and praised, was appointed as the first senior investigator in the name of the Ministry of Magic's search for educational reform. He also served as the vice-principal of Hogwarts and a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. The passage of this decree was very smooth, and it also represented that the Ministry of Magic had unprecedented control over Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"For some time, the minister has become increasingly uneasy about the status quo at Hogwarts. The werewolf incident is the best evidence." Percy Weasley, who has become an assistant to the minister, appeared on the TV screen, "He is listening to the parents The action taken by our worries, the worried school managers also felt that the school seemed to be moving in a direction they disapproved of, so they supported the minister’s action."
