Lu Ping looked confused, but Zhang Ziyu was already sitting opposite him.
He sat up slightly and leaned against the backrest behind him. Although he looked relaxed, the slight movement of his eyes betrayed him. It felt more like avoiding.
Zhang Ziyu saw this and sighed in his heart: "This guy is really a surprisingly good man."
Lupine is a werewolf, a werewolf born after birth. He was bitten by the werewolf Fenrir when he was five years old, which doomed him to a miserable life.
In the wizarding world, the discrimination against werewolves is very serious. Wizards are disgusted and afraid of them. They reject them in every aspect and regard them as the source of bad luck and disaster.
It is basically impossible for ordinary werewolves to find a job in the wizarding world. Even if they can, it is a menial job that is far below their ability, and the effort is disproportionate to the reward.
To a certain extent, their exclusion from the wizarding world is not just about life and work.
In terms of classification of species, some people even want them to be classified as beasts, which means they are no longer viewed as human beings.
Remus Lupine is a victim of this kind of society. Every once in a while, a few days before every full moon night, when he is about to transform into a werewolf, he can only resign in a low voice and find the helpless one by himself.
In a human place, people go through the painful transformation time, and then wake up the next day and continue wandering.
Once the werewolves in the Harry Potter world transform, it is basically impossible to have their own consciousness. They are like bloodthirsty beasts and only attack humans.
What transformation brings is not unparalleled power, but pain and madness.
To put it bluntly, if Lupine is a self-destructive bad guy, then he can at least steal, rob, and be an unscrupulous dark wizard.
However, contrary to expectations, he was a good person and supported himself. Even though it was very difficult, he did not steal or rob. He was in poverty until Harry Potter's third year, when he felt a little better.
"If there's nothing else, please go away. I'm just casual about the store. You can handle it without me."
Lu Ping began to reject Zhang Ziyu and subconsciously wanted to distance himself from others.
"It's no problem. It's just a werewolf. It's not that scary."
Lu Ping's expression changed slightly, and when Zhang Ziyu said the second half of his sentence, he actually looked at Zhang Ziyu with a look of astonishment on his face.
Zhang Ziyu's expression was relaxed and there was no repulsion in his eyes. On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Ziyu was very interested in his werewolf identity.
He suddenly felt strange, a little touched, and a little wary. Apart from Dumbledore, James Potter and others, this was the only person he had met in so many years who did not reject and fear werewolves.
"Luping, why don't you come and work at my place?"
Zhang Ziyu extended the invitation, and Lu Ping became even more wary. He shook his head: "No, and... I'm a werewolf, so I can't work for a long time."
"It's just a werewolf. Maybe I can find a way to cure it. I'm just going to research it."
What Zhang Ziyu said was true. He was still very curious about werewolves. After all, they were a very well-known species and were spread in various planes.
According to Zhang Ziyu's simple exploration (guessing) of the monster ranch's explosion rate, there is a high probability that creatures like werewolves can explode good things.
When Lu Ping heard this, his eyelids lowered even further, and he said: "No, there is no way to cure werewolves..."
"Remus, if it's Mr. Zhang, maybe it's not impossible."
At some point, Dumbledore came to this corner with a faint smile on his face.
Zhang Ziyu looked calm because he sensed Dumbledore's aura, but Lu Ping looked surprised: "Professor Dumbledore."
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang."
Dumbledore nodded and smiled at Zhang Ziyu, very kindly. Zhang Ziyu smiled back and said, "Professor, how is the effect of the elixir?"
"This is a very powerful elixir. Francis has always wanted to meet you. My two old friends are also much stronger."
"Nick Mele and his wife?"
Dumbledore nodded and said, "Yes, Nick's health has become very poor for some reasons, and many potions are useless to him."
He was not surprised that Zhang Ziyu knew so much. Instead, he showed a look that was indeed true, and he was mysterious and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Teach...Professor, do you know him?"
Lu Ping is the most confused among the three. He was already very suspicious of Zhang Ziyu's identity, but now he is even more confused.
"I know, Mr. Zhang is a very amazing person."
Dumbledore nodded in reply and gave Zhang Ziyu a high evaluation. He said, "Maybe you can consider it, Remus."
Regarding Lupin's pitiful life experience, Dumbledore can be said to be one of the best people. He was able to go to Hogwarts as a werewolf back then and was not exposed for seven years. It was all thanks to Dumbledore.
He felt sorry for this child and did not agree with the discrimination against werewolves as a whole race.
But as powerful as he is, there is no way to change the discrimination and malice in the entire wizarding world.
Lu Ping showed hesitation. He was not selling for a price, but felt that he would cause trouble to Zhang Ziyu, who was Dumbledore's friend.
If you have such a relationship, you should not cause trouble to the other party.
"I'm sorry, Professor, actually I..."
"Three hundred gold galleons a month, salary and Labrador. Just cooperate with me to try the magic potion occasionally. Although the potion I made is unpalatable, it won't kill anyone under control."
Before Lu Ping could finish his words, Zhang Ziyu smiled and extended the invitation.
Lu Ping was stunned, his eyes were slightly red, and he was silent for a while. This time he did not refuse, he nodded and said solemnly: "Thank you, boss."
"Don't cry. I'll give you a salary increase in a while. Go back to the store to find Labrador first. I'll be there soon."
Lu Ping's face darkened. He was originally very touched, but his tone became like a child's. Is this really okay for you, boss?
Lu Ping glanced at Dumbledore and Zhang Ziyu and guessed that they were going to discuss something, so he nodded and left the Leaky Cauldron first.
At the table in the corner, Zhang Ziyu and Dumbledore were left alone for a while.
Dumbledore took out his wand and with a tap, many candies appeared on the originally empty table, the pile of black cockroach-shaped candies being the most obvious.
"Would you like some, our specialty candy here?"
Dumbledore smiled, picked up a pile of cockroaches and ate them, looking calm and even enjoying it.
"Forget it, Professor, you are so sweet that you will die even if Voldemort comes."
Dumbledore shook his head: "Tom didn't like sweets when he was at school."
Zhang Ziyu didn't ask why Dumbledore appeared here, and Dumbledore didn't say anything.
In fact, it was all done by default. Zhang Ziyu did not act quietly and created so many things. Dumbledore would naturally notice it.
There is no need to take the initiative. With his status in the magic world, if something like this appears, his old friends will write to him as soon as possible to tell him about the situation.
They were either discussing or asking for advice, and Dumbledore would naturally be aware of what was going on.
"Remus is a standard Gryffindor, brave and kind. It is his werewolf identity that has hindered him."
Dumbledore is like a counselor in the graduation season, taking the trouble to say good things to his students. Zhang Ziyu looks a bit weird and funny, but I have to say that the old Deng is actually pretty good.
"Don't worry, I won't treat him badly. I'll take him to catch a few werewolves at most. You should know that I'm interested in magical creatures."
Dumbledore laughed. Compared to Zhang Ziyu's identity, some magical creatures are really nothing.
Dumbledore is not the Virgin, so there is no need to conflict with him over these things.
"It sounds like you have a phoenix."
Zhang Ziyu only mentioned the phoenix, not the phoenix. One was a matter of translation. The other was that although Dumbledore's Fawkes was said to be a top-notch magical creature, it was definitely not as magical as the phoenix in Chinese mythology.
Dumbledore shook his head and said with a smile: "I am just an old friend like Fox, so don't make any plans. But if we talk about a deal, can we continue our deal now?"
