The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 193 Moonlight Without Light

Chapter 193 Moonlight Without Light

"Miss Hamilton, Miss Lovegood, this is—"

Late at night, Lu Ping hid in his room, his face looking rather grim.

Tonight is a full moon night, and according to past practice, even after drinking the wolfsbane potion, Lupin usually chooses to spend it alone—but now, not only does he not have the wolfsbane potion, he has also been inexplicably invited to Miss Lovegood's house.

This made him subconsciously a little nervous—because if his hand were touched by even a tiny bit of moonlight, it would be fatal to anyone else.

"No need—no need to worry," Miss Hamilton said, pursing her lips as she stood outside the room. "I—I've already experimented—I've already tested it."

Does this mean it's okay to do this once the experiment is done?

Lupin glanced at the necklace on his chest, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Miss Hamilton, even if you've experimented, I will never walk out like this—"

"You should know that you won't have the opportunity to find werewolves to experiment on."

Lupin knew he was right when he saw Roy's face turn pale—although he trusted Miss Hamilton's magic array props, he didn't believe that just one necklace could prevent him from turning into a werewolf.

That's impossible!

Although deep down he desperately wanted to believe Roy, the thought of the past made it impossible for him to make up his mind.

He had tried it all before—potions, gadgets, even spells and certain injectables that claimed to prevent turning into a werewolf—he had tried them all.

But he never succeeded—his repeated failures had long since made him give up.

Moreover—even if the experiment had a 99% success rate, Lupin was unwilling to gamble on that 1%—because if that 1% came true, he would have to hurt his friend.

My only friend at present

With that thought in mind, Lupin said firmly, "I will not go out."

"Miss Hamilton and Miss Lovegood, come in quickly!"

Seeing Loila hesitate, Lupin let out a soft breath and said, "I understand your thoughts—but, Miss Hamilton."

"This is no joke."

"Perhaps you can conduct a few more experiments—because if anything happens—" he said, shaking his head. "I won't forgive myself."

"Mr. Lupin!" Luna suddenly spoke up, tilting her head as she asked, "What happened when Loila discovered Mr. Lupin was a werewolf?"

"She was at that time—" Lupin understood Luna's meaning as soon as he opened his mouth—Miss Lovegood meant that he would never harm Loila or her—

But—that's not the point.

Lupin didn't just not want to hurt his friends, but also because he didn't want to appear as that kind of despicable monster in front of them.

He was afraid to see that fearful look in her eyes, afraid of that dread—and even more afraid that Miss Hamilton would still hold onto that tenderness afterward.

I don't want to receive that kind of tenderness again.

Lupin pursed his lips, and finally said softly, "Miss Hamilton—and Miss Lovegood, I have been a werewolf for a long time."

"I've gotten used to it."

He raised his hand and gave a wry smile: "Even if—even if this continues, I don't care anymore—"

"But you—"

While he was speaking, he didn't notice that Lori had already bitten her lip and taken a deep breath. She gently raised her wand and flicked it.

A beam of silver light struck Lu Ping, pulling him gently like a rope.

He stumbled and stepped into the silvery moonlight.

"You—" Lupin was bathed in the cold, desolate light, speechless for a moment—he seemed to be able to feel that wild madness growing in his heart, he could feel that desire to kill filling his mind.

It seemed as if those ferocious fangs were about to be unleashed in the next second—but in the next second, he only felt a chill.

And then a moment of silence—he lowered his head slightly and saw that the hand, which should have turned into sharp claws, was covered by a thin layer of pale black gauze—

This is----

"It's working!" came Miss Hamilton's voice, followed by a burst of footsteps.

"Snapped!"

Immediately afterward, Lupin felt a sudden embrace around his waist. He blinked and saw a silvery light, like moonlight.

Miss Loila Hamilton, known as the Silent Witch, is actually an outstanding magic array expert, far more outstanding than she herself thought, and far more outstanding than Lupin thought.

Because she solved a problem that had existed since the birth of werewolves with a necklace.

And now, this person is standing right in front of him, jumping up and down with another girl—because they are happy for him.

"Pat-pat-pat".

Lupin paused for a moment. He saw the water droplets on the back of his hand. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye. It wasn't rainwater, but his tears.

"Miss Hamilton—no—Loila—" Lupin said in a trembling voice, "I—Remus Lupin—"

'

I will never forget your help in this lifetime—I will help you with anything you need—

"No—don't do this." Miss Hamilton's gentle, timid voice rang out, her blue eyes fixed on Lupin, her small lips slightly parted: "This—this is to repay your help—"

"Mr. Lupin————"

"And—and we're friends—aren't we?"

She was definitely not helping him out of a desire for repayment—Lupin knew perfectly well that Roy was only helping him because—because he was her friend.

It was simply because she wanted to help herself.

But the more things were like this—the more Lupin felt his own powerlessness—he couldn't even offer anything in return.

I don't deserve Miss Hamilton's help—

Then the only thing I can offer to Luo Yili is my own life.

Thinking of this, Lupin took a deep breath: "Miss Hamilton—even my life is yours."

"Please don't say that—"

"No, Miss Hamilton!" Lupin interrupted Loila, taking a deep breath. "Please don't make me—make me owe you even more."

"That's right, Loila," Luna's voice came through, and the perceptive girl smiled slightly. "Anyway, you won't put Mr. Lupin in danger, will you?"

"For Mr. Lupin, this is the best outcome."

"Yes—yes—" Loila still seemed a little confused, but in the end, she nodded gently: "Mr. Lupin—"

"May I call you—Remus?"

"Of course," Lupin said slowly. "May I call you—Loila?"

"I—I'm so happy!" Loila smiled, then slowly, blushing, said, "Then—then—Lym—I accept your—your vow—"

"But—but I don't want to see you—you die—" Her voice grew softer and softer, but to Lupin it was like a thunderclap. Only then did Lupin finally smile—a look of relief finally appeared on his tired face.

"That's natural, Loila."

His life used to belong to him, but now it belongs to Miss Roy Hamilton. Only in this way could he convince himself to accept Roy's kindness and the unconditional gift from others.
