Ivan suddenly realized that the werewolf Fenrir, Greyburke, and the Dark Wizard were referring to Lucius Malfoy as the one who paid them the gold coins.
As a former Death Eater, Lucius definitely knew those guys, and only he could afford to pay so much money to gather them.
The question now was, what was he trying to do?
Elwyn could not see how this would benefit the Malfoy family. If it was discovered that he was the mastermind, Lucius would be in big trouble.
Something was wrong. There must be something he did not know.
Elwyn hurriedly looked at Dumbledore, who was beside him. Dumbledore's face was calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Something did happen, but what does it have to do with you?" Dumbledore's bright blue eyes were fixed on Lucius.
"It has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with the unpleasant news I brought," Malfoy said lazily. Malfoy said lazily. "Things are bad. You probably don't realize what's happening."
"What happened?" Foggy asked subconsciously. He twisted his body, feeling a little uneasy.
"The werewolves are rioting!" Lucius said slowly, using a calm tone to speak shocking words. "While Hogsmeade was attacked by werewolves, there were also many attacks in the Muggle city. Tonight, on this unfortunate full moon, the werewolves spontaneously gathered together to attack the Muggle. The exact number of casualties is still being calculated, but when I came, it was said that more than 30 bitten Muggle were rushed to St. Mungo's Magic Hospital for treatment."
"What?!" Foggy's eyes widened, and his face turned pale. "You must be joking, Lucius. How could there be a werewolf attack? Until now, no one has told me about this! "
"This is my private source of information, Minister!" Lucius narrowed his eyes and continued. "The source of the news is very reliable. I think it won't be long before the department reports the details to you."
"That's impossible, all werewolves are under the control of the Werewolf Registration Office, they can't …"
Foggy stopped abruptly. Just an hour ago, a werewolf attack had taken place right under his nose.
When Elwyn and Hermione were talking about this, he thought the two children were just talking nonsense. He instinctively refused to believe that such a thing had happened.
But now, Lucius Malfoy had told him about this matter. The werewolves were not only plotting something, but the attack had already happened!
This was not just one or two isolated attacks, but a werewolf uprising!
How Foggy wished that someone would tell him that today was April Fool's Day. He glanced at Lucius again to make sure that the latter was not joking, and the last bit of fantasy in his heart was instantly shattered.
Whether he wanted to believe it or not, there was indeed a large-scale werewolf attack!
The ward was eerily quiet, and no one spoke. Everyone was immersed in the terrible news that Lucius Malfoy had brought.
Elwyn lay on the bed, his mind racing.
He was analyzing the whole matter with the information he had obtained. What good would it do for Lucius Malfoy to gather these werewolves to launch a large-scale attack on the Muggle?
Obviously, Lucius's most urgent thought now was to drive Dumbledore away from the Hogwarts. How would triggering a werewolf uprising help this matter?
Wait a minute, werewolves, Hogwarts, Professor Lupin is a werewolf!
Elwyn suddenly thought, Could it be that Lucius Malfoy knows Professor Lupin's identity?!
But this did not make sense. Except for him, everyone present knew that Professor Lupin was a werewolf. When Professor Lupin was hired as a Defense Against Dark Magic teacher, Dumbledore had told the other professors and Foggy about this matter and obtained the approval of the Ministry of Magic.
Even if they did not trust Lupin, Professor Lupin did not participate in the werewolf attack on the Muggle.
In fact, he did not hurt anyone, and he was safe. What Lucius did was completely meaningless.
If he exposed Professor Lupin's identity, he would at most drive Lupin away from the school, and Dumbledore would not be implicated.
Unless he had a way to prove that Professor Lupin was also involved in this werewolf riot.
Elwyn glanced at Lucius, who had a smug, cold smile on his face. Beside him, Snape had a sinister smile on his face.
Just as Elwyn was about to say something, a large gray owl suddenly flew in from the window. It was a messenger from the Ministry of Magic, and it flew straight to Foggy's side.
Foggy hurriedly took the letter from the owl's beak. He opened the envelope and read it carefully. From his expression, it was obvious that the matter was terrible.
"Dear Lucius, what you said has been verified. There has indeed been a large-scale werewolf riot." Foggy's voice was not loud, but it was unusually loud in the quiet room. He turned to look at Dumbledore and said in a panic, "I'm very sorry, Albus! I must rush back to the Ministry as soon as possible to deal with this emergency. If possible, I hope that you can … "
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
The door of the ward was opened again. This time, it was Percy. He rushed in hurriedly with a panicked look on his face. He seemed to be terrified.
"It's, it's bad, Professor!" Percy gasped for breath and looked anxiously at Dumbledore. He was so excited that even his voice was trembling. "Quickly go and take a look. A werewolf has appeared in the castle and is attacking the students!"
Hearing his words, everyone held their breath and looked at Percy in surprise. The atmosphere in the ward was extremely solemn.
Elwyn noticed that Lucius Malfoy had an irrepressible expression of victory on his face.
Snape, who was standing to the side, was slightly surprised, but then he put on that unsettling sneer again.
An hour ago, Harry sat alone in the auditorium.
He did not know where Ron had gone, and he had not seen him all afternoon. As for Elwyn and Hermione, he heard from Fred and George that they had gone to Hogsmeade, but he did not know what had delayed them and had not returned yet.
Corin and Ginny had just come over to invite him to sit with them, but Harry had rejected them.
He just wanted to be alone. His mind was a mess, and all he could think about this morning was what Professor Lupin had told him about his parents. Harry did not remember how he had returned from Professor Lupin's office to Gryffindor's common room, or how he had been dragged from his bedroom to the auditorium.
He only knew that he was out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere around him. Except for him, everyone in the auditorium was happily discussing plans for the Christmas holidays.
Harry was indifferent. Even the news that Elwyn and Hermione were dating at Hogsmeade from Hufflepuff's dining table did not distract him.
