“Okay, the 402nd plan failed…record the recipe and let’s try it again.”
“Werewolf saliva…how much werewolf saliva is left? Thank God…wait! I mean the wolf form after going berserk! What? That’s all there is left?”
“Okay… I don’t blame you. After all, this is your first time doing something. It’s normal to make some deviations – now you know why Professor Tuft requires work experience? What if something happened there? An accident would really kill someone…”
“When is the next full moon night? Oh my god, that means we have to wait at least a week…try our luck at some black magic shops? No, no, under the current situation, if you dare to do that, then A bunch of dark wizards will be targeting you in one second…”
“Is there another letter from someone? Is it from the Basilisk Farm? Merlin…I’ll answer the letter later.”
“My God, there are so many things to do. I hope the new professor the principal mentioned can be more reliable…”
Boom, boom, boom.
A knock on the door with an unfamiliar rhythm and intensity suddenly rang clearly in the messy laboratory, interrupting Damocles Belby’s tired complaints.
“Please come in?”
He tentatively called out to the door, and the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a strange figure walked in quickly…
‘Oh my god, it’s really him. ’
The moment she opened the door, Avada looked at the familiar face and couldn’t help but admire it from the bottom of her heart.
Damocles Belby, a top master in potions and curses, the inventor of Wolfsbane potion, a winner of the Order of Merlin, one of the top elites in the magical society, and an absolute authority in the field of werewolf research ——His face has naturally appeared countless times in major newspapers and magazines, and has long been remembered by Avada.
“Nice to meet you, Professor Belby!”
He walked forward enthusiastically and extended his hand: “I am Crewe Imprey, the newly hired professor of psychiatry… I learned from Principal Gorshak that you are short of manpower here, so I wanted to come and see you. See if there’s anything…”
“Ah, you are Professor Imprey!”
Belby was so excited that he interrupted Avada’s greetings and shook hands with him: “The principal told me about you yesterday. She said that you are a talent recognized by Professor Baker personally, and you are also for investigating werewolves. I just joined the university because of the problem… You are really willing to help! Merlin, you are my benefactor… I am so busy right now that I wish I could split myself in half!”
“…”
Belby didn’t notice Avada’s expression stiffening at all, but instead pulled him into the laboratory with enthusiasm: “As you can see, what we are doing now is analyzing the controllable madness technology. The principle, I suspect, is that someone has made a new type of magic potion based on werewolf saliva, and is now conducting experiments in this direction… Everyone, stop for a moment and say hello to the new professor!”
All the busy young people in the laboratory stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Avada – anyway, they had just finished an experiment and there was nothing important to do now. At the same time, Avada was also looking at the laboratory and the faces inside.
Except for Professor Belby, there are basically all young people here. It seems that Belby was the only one in charge of the experiment that just ended, and the rest are probably assistants recruited from among the students – oh, There is an old man over there, probably also a professor? And the dark creature next to the old man is… a werewolf? !
A transformed werewolf!
For a moment, Avada wondered if she was blinded – it wasn’t a full moon night yet? ?
“Well, let me introduce it in detail,”
Belby saw Avada’s shocked look, so he smiled and led him towards the two incompatible people, pointing at the werewolf: “First of all, let me introduce this – Montgomery, this is Gram Professor Rue Imprey.”
“Hello, Professor Imprey.”
The werewolf named Montgomery actually stood up with a gentle look on his face and stretched out his claws towards Avada: “I am Montgomery, a sophomore at Nobilia University and an assistant to Professor Belby…”
“He was turned into a werewolf by Greyback since he was a child, and then sent to me for treatment.”
Watching Avada carefully hold the werewolf’s paw, Belby explained: “My research has made a major breakthrough in him – he can now permanently maintain his sanity and memory without receiving any treatment, and It has completely lost its contagiousness.”
“so smart?!”
Avada was shocked when she heard this – the significance of this kind of achievement is much greater than Wolfsbane Potion!
“But the only problem is,”
Belby’s tone suddenly became awkward: “There was an unknown error in that treatment, which resulted in him being in a werewolf state all the time. He can only briefly transform back into a human on a full moon night.”
“…”
“So, he is now not only my student and assistant, but also my key research subject. As long as the root cause of the problem in that treatment can be figured out and solved, it means that the werewolf curse has finally been cured. And this Bit……”
Belby pointed to the old wizard with droopy eyelids and seemed to be dozing off: “This situation is even more special, and it is also related to your next mission – I heard from the principal that you are interested in sneaking into Azka. Ben’s mission to find Gilderoy Lockhart, right?”
“That’s it for now.”
Avada didn’t deny it.
“Then I will continue. This old gentleman is from Armenia and is one of Lockhart’s victims. Most of his memory has been deleted, and he can’t even remember his own name… However, he was Those deleted memories contain exactly what we need to know most urgently – the solution to the werewolf curse.”
“Werewolf…you mean, the humanoid restoration spell?”
Avada suddenly remembered the controversial episode in Lockhart’s book, and was once again shocked by the action of Nobi Ridge University – had they really found the person involved? !
“That’s right, the humanoid restoration spell Lockhart mentioned in the book.”
Belby nodded: “According to the Wizengamot and Dumbledore, Gilderoy Lockhart would deceive the victims into trusting him and tell them their experiences bit by bit. The Forgetting Curse deletes their memories, and replaces the owner of those experiences with himself and writes them in the book… That means that this old gentleman once indeed mastered the magic spell that forcibly restored the werewolf to human form.”
“The research value of that spell is immeasurable, but it has now been deleted by Gilderoy Lockhart. And after inspecting the area where he lived, we did not find any of his students or colleagues… so we can only Targeted Lockhart himself.”
He sighed heavily, probably expressing his hatred for Lockhart: “We plan to sneak into Azkaban, extract all the memories of Gilderoy Lockhart, and find out all the fragments about this magic. It may provide more clues to restore the magic. If possible, we also hope to obtain his wand to see if we can use the flashback spell to trace back the magic – anyway, he has not cast magic a few times in total.”
