Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#230 - Professionals
"Well," Anduin nodded upon hearing this. Judging from the information he had gleaned from Legilimency, Hogg had indeed not lied.
However, just in case, Anduin took out a test tube, collected some saliva from Hogg, and carefully stored it away.

If Hogg was indeed free of the lycanthropy virus, Anduin wouldn't mind taking him in. The guy's background was tragic enough, and he believed Hagrid wouldn't be bothered by Hogg's identity.
After making up his mind, Anduin began to ponder again. How should he deal with these magical creatures now? And would the werewolf wizard Fenrir return to this stronghold?
Anduin couldn't just release these magical creatures directly. Their current physical condition made it impossible for them to survive in the Forbidden Forest. Many of them would likely prey on each other, just like the Graphorn was a natural enemy of the Mooncalf.
Moreover, he had to find a way to monitor this stronghold so that if Fenrir appeared, he could catch him red-handed.
Professional matters should be left to professionals to handle. But who should he entrust it to?
His first reaction was to notify the Ministry of Magic directly. Moody had his communication charm, so it would be convenient to call him over. But considering Hogg's situation, the Magical Creatures Department might treat him badly. It seemed he still had to rely on his own people. He should first return to Hogwarts and find Hagrid to help deal with these creatures, and then entrust the monitoring to the Ministry of Magic.
With this in mind, Anduin turned his head to look at Hogg, "Wait here for a while. I'll bring someone over later to give you professional treatment. If Fenrir returns here, use your magic to activate this charm, and I'll come to support you."
Anduin handed Hogg a communication charm, gave him some jerky to fill his stomach, and then followed the tunnel out of the underground cave.
After coming out, Anduin gathered the werewolf corpse lying at the door, found a place to hide it, and found Qi Qi waiting in the woods.
Seeing Anduin reappear, Qi Qi's eyes lit up. She was about to say hello, but remembering that Anduin had told her to keep quiet, she could only pout and look at him hopefully.
"Qi Qi, I need you to do me a favor later. Follow me now." After saying that, Anduin picked up Qi Qi, took her to a tree next to the tunnel, and took off his glimmering cloak to put it on her.
"Qi Qi, do you see that big rock over there? Now I need you to watch it for me. If you see that werewolf wizard appear, quickly activate the charm I gave you before. If there's any rustling in the wind, activate the glimmering cloak. It will help you hide. Be careful to ensure your own safety. If you encounter danger, Apparate away."
"Yes, don't worry, Master, leave it to me." Although Qi Qi had only been in contact with Anduin for a day, under his influence, her personality had become slightly more confident than before.
After arranging Qi Qi's work, Anduin Apparated back to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Approaching it would be affected by Hogwarts' magic and he wouldn't be able to Apparate.
It was only early morning at this time. The newly risen sun shone on the ground of Hogwarts, making it foggy. Anduin rode his flying broom and landed in front of Hagrid's door.
"Hagrid, are you awake?" As soon as he landed, Anduin began to bang on the door.
After waiting for a while, Hagrid came out wearing his pink jumpsuit pajamas, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"What's wrong, Anduin? Why did you spend the whole night investigating those magical creatures? I've been worried about you all night, and I didn't dare to take the charm you gave me off my body," Hagrid grumbled, complaining when he saw it was Anduin.
Seeing this, Anduin didn't say much. He gave a brief explanation of what happened last night and stated that there were now more than a dozen magical creatures being imprisoned, in urgent need of rescue and care.
"What? You mean you ran into werewolf smugglers and fought them? Good heavens, that's too dangerous. Why didn't you notify us? That way we could have helped," Hagrid said, expressing concern for Anduin's safety first, even though he was hearing that many adorable magical creatures were being abused.
"I know what I'm doing. Look, I'm unharmed, and the situation was very urgent at the time. If I had delayed, those centaurs would have suffered as well. I saw a lot along the way. These werewolves are very cruel. I couldn't completely stay calm at the time. The key now is to settle those magical creatures," Anduin said, casually finding an excuse to perfunctory. He wouldn't say that he was thinking about testing new charms at the time.
"Yes, yes, yes." Hagrid saw that Anduin was indeed not injured, and he was relieved. At the same time, hearing that there were still many little darlings in dire straits, he became anxious. "But so many magical creatures can't be handled by just the two of us. We have to find one or two more helpers."
"Well, I have also considered this, and that little wolf with intelligence that I told you about must be carefully checked to confirm whether he carries the lycanthropy virus. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to release him like this. The risk is too great."
"By the way, have you heard of Hogg's situation, the situation of a werewolf in human form giving birth to a wolf cub? I've seen it in books, but there are only two clear records, and the descriptions are quite simple." Anduin maintained considerable caution about Hogg. He planned to get confirmation from a real magical creature expert.
"I've only heard of it, I've never seen an example. Oh, right!" Hagrid slapped his head. "Let's go to Professor Kettleburn. He has more experience than me. We can ask him, and we can also ask him to help."
"Professor Kettleburn? He only has one leg left and he's so old. Is that appropriate?" Anduin felt sorry for his magical creature professor, although the other party's love for magical creatures was no weaker than Hagrid's.
"Let's ask about the wolf first. If it's not convenient for him, I'll go to Headmaster Dumbledore." Hagrid reacted extremely quickly when it came to magical creatures.
Anduin nodded, and then accompanied Hagrid to Professor Kettleburn, who had just gotten up and was teasing his own ashwinder.
This professor had a good relationship with Hagrid and was no stranger to Anduin. Since Anduin became a student in the magical creature class, he often asked him to take care of those large creatures that he was not convenient to take care of.
Anduin had no objection to this. After all, these so-called large creatures were basically his spare rations. Raising them himself could also ensure that they grew fatter.
