The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 295 Werewolf and Wolfsbane Potion

When it comes to wolf poison potion, we have to mention the users of this potion - werewolves.

Werewolves are humans capable of changing into wolf form when the full moon rises, a condition caused by a lycanthropy infection.Werewolves can spread this terrible disease by biting other humans.

During the full moon, the werewolf can't control himself, he will automatically transform and lose his sanity for the duration of the transformation.

After transforming, they will forget their identities and even kill their closest relatives.The cruelest thing is that although they had no sense or emotion at the time, when the transformation ended, they could still recall all their experiences during the entire transformation process.

If they hurt their closest ones during the metamorphosis, I am afraid that this sense of guilt will be a lingering shadow for their whole life.According to some tragic legends, many werewolf victims would rather die than become the next werewolf.

It is a terrible, tragic magical disease, and werewolves are also suffering from it, and they deserve help and sympathy.

But lycanthropy cannot be cured, and they cannot remain sober and rational when transforming.There are very few werewolves who can suppress their inner thirst for blood, and werewolves who have lost their minds have caused many tragedies.

The uncontrolled werewolf, who was completely dominated by the desire for blood in his heart, was abandoned by normal humans, and wizards were generally full of disgust and fear of werewolves.They will not be accepted, they will not be able to get jobs, and the prejudice, stigma, and abuse will start with their disease and stay with them throughout their lives.

The Ministry of Magic established the Werewolf Capture Program and the Werewolf Registry in an attempt to control werewolves and reduce their harm.The original intention may be good, but when it is executed, everything changes.

Under the ulterior motives of some people, the Ministry of Magic even introduced an anti-werewolf bill.The bill was spearheaded by Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary for Magic.

It was under this kind of exclusion and oppression from top to bottom that some werewolves began to hate wizards.Werewolves became more bloodthirsty and brutal, and the Ministry of Magic cracked down harder and harder. The gap between werewolves and normal society grew wider and wider.

It is precisely because of this estrangement that some werewolves have an opportunity to take advantage of.They set up their own community, absorbed more of the same kind who are not accepted by normal people, and at the same time committed to infecting more people and expanding their community.

And hope that one day, they can defeat the wizard with a large number of werewolves and establish a country full of blood.

The most famous werewolf community in the British wizarding world was established by Fenrir Greyback.He and his men took pleasure in blood and were brutal and bloodthirsty. Even while maintaining their human form, they still acted recklessly and caused countless tragedies.

The discrimination of wizards and the reckless behavior of the same kind plunged those werewolves who still had kindness in their hearts into boundless darkness.There was no light in their lives until the appearance of Wolfsbane Potion.

This potion was invented in recent years. Although the wolf's poison potion could not cure werewolves, it gave these poor people a glimmer of hope.The wolfsbane potion can help the werewolf maintain his sanity and suppress his inner impulse during the transformation.

There is hope, but the high price of Wolfsbane potion makes werewolves discouraged.Due to the exclusion of wizards, werewolves could not get jobs, they could not eat enough, they did not wear warm clothes, and they could not afford the price of potions.

And most of the werewolves sneered at this potion, they were used to killing and blood, they enjoyed this kind of life, they would not spend even a single copper Knut for the potion of Wolfsbane.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that Ada didn't understand why Snape asked him to prepare the wolfsbane potion.

For a long time, the potion content that Ada produced privately when she was under confinement came from the market orders Snape received.On the one hand, it is in line with Ada's current potion level, and on the other hand, it can also bring her some income.

This was a personal note from the Potions Professor to Ada, and she kept it in her heart.

However, there were very few werewolves who wanted to buy Wolfsbane Potion, and among them, the number of people who could summon Severus Snape was infinitely close to zero.

The high price of Wolfsbane Potion is not only because it is the only potion that can help werewolves, but also because of the precious raw materials in its ingredient list.This is the reason why the price of Wolfsbane Potion remains high. Many potions scholars have devoted themselves to improving the potion, but they have been unable to find a way.

Suddenly asking herself to prepare this kind of potion, Ida naturally felt a little confused about the reason, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Snape's gourd.

Facing Ada's doubts, Snape didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, he repeated: "The recipe is on the table, and the ingredients are in the cabinet. This is your task for today."

Do you think Snape is willing to configure wolfbane potion?If it wasn't for that old man's request, Snape wouldn't want to do such a thankless task!What's more, this potion is still provided to a person who doesn't like it.

Snape is the potions professor at Hogwarts, not Dumbledore's personal potion assistant. He first helped take care of the children, then configured potions for Glover Cecil, and now it's the annoying turn moon face.

Snape strongly demanded more money, otherwise the job would not be possible!
Ada had no way of knowing what the Potions Professor was thinking, and if he was willing to say this, then Ada would be familiar with the name Moon Face.Because Ada and the twins have the Marauder's Map, one of the four creators of this map is Moonface.

Moreover, knowing that this chamaejasba potion is for people in the school, Ada can easily find the answer to her biggest doubt this school year.

It's a pity that Snape, the king of spy kings, was very tight-lipped and didn't reveal any news.

In fact, Snape had prepared the wolfsbane potion long ago, but it was just because of the awkward incident yesterday, and the black-bellied moon face was not fit to drink the potion he made, so Snape asked Ada to make another potion.

Retaliation, very childish revenge, but there is no way, Snape still has to take care of the overall situation, letting the werewolf walk in the moonlight in the school, this is not a good thing.

The underground classroom was very quiet, only the crackling of the flames and the gurgling of potions in the cauldron.

Ada tied her hair back and tied it tightly to keep her hair from falling into the cauldron.But in this way, all her expressions fell into Snape's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, reminding Snape of the shame brought by the new skin.

After finishing today's procedure, Ada left the basement classroom, and Gryffindor's scores went with her.Snape deducted Ada's points without any bottom line again, why?Who do you look down on, when does the potions professor need a reason to deduct points!

When Ada returned to the common room, the twins were still sitting by the fireplace, carefully selecting Thorn's thorns.Ada came over and joined the ranks of picking.

She asked: "You said, are there really werewolves in the forbidden forest in the school?"

There has always been a legend in the school that there are werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Although no one has ever seen a werewolf, many students are still full of fear of the dark Forbidden Forest.

"Werewolf?" Fred guessed, "Probably not, I'm not sure." The twins have never seen a werewolf after so many times in and out of the Forbidden Forest, but they have seen a few beautiful little wolf cubs.

"What's the matter, why did you suddenly ask this question?" George asked with concern, why did Ada suddenly become interested in werewolves, did Snape say something at night?

Ada shook her head, but didn't say anything about the Wolfsbane Potion. She didn't want to add to everyone's troubles.She said: "It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly. There have been rumors of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest for so many years, but no one has ever seen them. It's almost like a secret room."

"Hey, what a big deal!" Fred said disapprovingly. "We'll just go some other day!"
