When it came to werewolves, wizards generally discriminated against them, hated them, and oppressed them.
In front of wizards, werewolves were a relatively weak group. They were the ones who were bullied. Wizards treated werewolves the same way they treated house elves, calling them filthy, corrosive animals and hairy monsters with low intelligence.
Wizards probably never thought that werewolves were once one of them, but Greyback was an exception.
However, Gray Burke was an exception. His cruelty was known throughout the magic world, and many wizards were afraid of him.
"Blood is what werewolves deserve. Werewolves should take revenge on normal people." This was his philosophy.
The fear of werewolves was greater than the fear of death itself. Being infected and turned into a werewolf was a punishment worse than death. Not to mention, Greyback had specifically targeted the children of those who had offended him, increasing and prolonging the pain. This was something that was even more difficult to accept from an emotional perspective.
In the underground world, Greyback and his army of werewolves were an existence that could not be ignored.
They occupied several caves and used them as strongholds to escape from the pursuit of the Auror.
Greyback worked for powerful wizards like Malfoy, doing things that were inconvenient for them to do, such as the attack on Hogsmeade a few years ago, or biting the wizards that they needed to take revenge on.
This kind of terrifying threat was very useful in most situations.
This was also the reason why Malfoy was able to control so many officials from the Ministry of Magic.
Greyback was scary back then, but not to the extent that he would turn and run as soon as he saw him.
At best, he was just a hired thug for a pure-blood wizard family, who would only think of him when needed.
This situation quickly changed. After Lord Voldemort came back to life, Greyback immediately declared his loyalty.
Although Lord Voldemort also discriminated against werewolves, he needed their power.
He handed over the underground world to Greyback as a reward for his and the other werewolves' loyalty.
At this point, Greyback became the true overlord of the underground world.
The wizards fled in all directions. Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also followed them into a tunnel.
They did not know where this tunnel led to, but there were many more narrow tunnels ahead. The wizards entered in a panic. Before Elwyn and the rest could decide whether to follow them or not, they heard Greyback's terrifying roar.
"You bunch of trash, hurry up and catch those four people. I saw them running in that direction."
Greyback's voice was terrifying, like the roar of a real beast.
If he knew that Elwyn and Hermione were here, Greyback would definitely become even more violent. Hearing his roar, the wizards in the tunnel knew that Elwyn and the rest were Greyback's targets, so they sped up and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, only Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were left.
"Happy sightseeing time is over," said Elwyn, raising his wand. "Are you going to fight them, or go back? Or find a crypt to hide in. But those werewolves will definitely find us, so it's best to make a decision now. "
"Go back, of course!" said Hermione quickly, holding Elwyn's left hand.
"But Malfoy …"
"Don't think about Malfoy, Harry. Even if you find him now, you won't know what he and the werewolves are planning to do," said Hermione. "We've wasted too much time here. Don't forget, Lady Weasley is still waiting for us."
"Okay, you're right." Harry and Ron looked at each other, and they also stepped forward to hold Elwyn's arm.
It was not wise to confront the werewolves here. They were only here to investigate, not to fight.
If possible, it was better to leave like this, at least they wouldn't have to expose their identities.
In the blink of an eye, Elwyn's phantom appeared, and the four of them disappeared, returning to Fred and George's restaurant.
The restaurant was still very lively, which was a sharp contrast to the gloomy underground world.
Lady Weasley had already noticed that they were missing. Facing her question, they insisted that the four of them had been staying in the small house at the back, and she just didn't look for them seriously. Fred and George also covered for them.
But Lady Weasley was still panicking. Soon, they left the Diagonal Alley and returned to the Shack.
During the last few days of the summer vacation, the four of them had been discussing this matter, thinking about what Malfoy had done in Knockout Alley.
Harry was the most concerned about this matter. The proud expression on Malfoy's face when he left the shop, and the werewolves led by Greyburke, made him feel uneasy. He knew Malfoy too well. Anything that could make Malfoy so happy must not be a good thing.
What was Malfoy and the werewolves planning? Could it be related to the Hogwarts?
Whenever there was a chance, Harry would talk about this matter, and he even speculated that Malfoy had replaced his father and joined the Death Eaters …
But Elwyn, Hermione, and Ron were not as curious as Harry. Elwyn could roughly guess what was going on.
He was not going to intervene, and he was going to let Malfoy continue with his plan. Malfoy would not succeed. There was no chance at all.
Dumbledore was also not injured, and Elwyn could not see any reason for him to sacrifice himself to help Malfoy.
If this continued, Malfoy would only become more and more desperate because he could not complete his mission. Lucius would also become suspicious and desperate under the pressure and pressure of the Lord Voldemort. This might be an opportunity for the Malfoy family to break off relations with the Lord Voldemort.
Or, they could help Malfoy to complete his idea and use it to design a plan.
Just like last year at the Ministry of Magic, they lured the Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the Hogwarts and into the encirclement of the Order of the Phoenix. But this time, they would be fully prepared, and the Lord Voldemort would not have a chance to escape in the Hogwarts.
Although Hermione and Ron did not know the specific reason, they were not as curious as Harry about Malfoy's behavior, and they did not believe that Malfoy had become a Death Eater. The two of them got tired of it after a few days and were not willing to talk about it anymore.
In Ron's words, it was possible that Malfoy went to Borgin's Black Magic Shop to buy anything.
Later, he went to the Underground World to find Greyburk, perhaps intending to ask him to find some black magic item.
"Think about those cockroaches. Anything can be bought in the Underground World, and Greyburk is now the overlord there. If Malfoy wants to find something, he will definitely need his help." Ron said, "No matter what black magic item he wants to buy, I will not be surprised. People like him have the habit of collecting these things. My father searched his house last time, but he could not find many prohibited items. "
