Chapitre 105: Unbreakable Vow
A few days after he left Steve in Andromeda's house so that he could learn more about the magical world, Harry was finally ready to have the talk with Remus that would give him access to the Werewolf community.
But in this instance, instead of asking Dumbledore to act as a mediator for them, Harry sent Bitty to contact the man and bring the werewolf to one of his underground hidden basements where they could have a proper chat.
"Harry, after last time, I thought that you would not want to see me." Remus said as Harry motioned him to sit on a chair on the other side of the table.
"Well…" Remus' voice hitched but he continued "I thought about what you said last time and came to the realization that if I had just went to meet Sirius even once, then your godfather probably would have told me the truth and then we could have found some way to free him."
"So you think that I blame you for my godfather's death?" Harry asked curiously and the werewolf sadly nodded at his words.
"I don't Remus." Harry said sympathetically "You didn't went to meet Sirius because you were convinced by other people that he was the betrayer of my parents and the murderer of Peter along with those 12 muggles. I can understand why you would not want to meet him and relive in those bad memories once the war ended."
Remus' eyes moistened at that and Harry had the feeling that Remus had been crying a lot over the past few days.
"Thank you Harry." He said with a smile "That means a lot to me."
And now the werewolf was actually sobbing.
"But that is not why I called you here Remus." Harry explained and Remus looked up at him curiously "But before we get to that topic, I want to ask you what you're doing these days?"
"Me?"
"Yes. You must have some kind of job right? Considering how everyone told me that you were the smartest of the marauders."
"You know about the marauders?" Remus asked.
"Of course I do Moony." He said with a smile and took out the Marauders' map. The werewolf's eyes widened for a moment before he smiled back and looked at that piece of parchment with nostalgia.
"We had lost that thing to Argus Flich some time before leaving Hogwarts" Remus said "I hadn't thought that I would ever see it again. Where did you find it?"
"Detention." Harry lied smoothly "I had a detention and the old squib made me clean the old trophies in his office. So I sneaked a few confiscated items from his office in retaliation."
Remus laughed at his proclamation and said "That is something Sirius and James would have done." Then he stopped laughing and said in a serious manner "They would be proud of you Harry. I mean your mom and dad. They would be proud of the person you've become. And so would Sirius."
No they really won't.
And they will like me even less when they realize that the original Harry has gone to take a hike and someone else had taken over his body in return.
But Harry smiled in order to not look suspicious before he frowned and asked "I heard that the werewolves don't get too many job opportunities in the Magical world and they're not allowed to interact with the Muggles either. Tell me Remus, are you doing well for yourself."
The werewolf looked a bit embarrassed at his question before he smile morosely and shrugged "As fine as any other werewolf, I guess."
"That is not an answer." Harry pointed out while calling for tea for the two of them.
"I know Harry. But what else can I say. The werewolves don't really live very good lives in Magical Britain." He said with a shrug "There is a reason why so many of us join the dark side in the last war."
"They probably knew that they would not get much better treatment under Voldemort's shoes but when serving the dark lord, they at least had hope. Even though deep down they all knew that their situation would not change no matter what."
"Two times Harry. Two times, the light side won the war." Remus said sadly "Both times the so called 'good' wizards said that werewolves fought for the dark side. And after both wars, the situation of use werewolves only got worse and worse."
"At this point, every werewolf elder and child know that no matter what happens in the ministry, their situation would remain unchanged. Because in every war, there would be someone like Fenerir Greyback would fight for the dark side and after every war, the good wizards would claim that the werewolves fight for the dark side and thus, our situation will only get worse and worse."
Harry raptly listened to his words, understanding the situation of the werewolves a little better with each word.
Realizing that the Purebloods were even worse on the werewolves then he had originally thought.
Even someone as heartless as him was beginning to feel sympathy for the people. But of course, his sympathy would not anyone. It never does until you act upon that emotion.
And well, wasn't that the very reason why he had called Remus here in the first place.
After Remus finished his tirade, Harry gave him a sympathetic look before taking out a Magical Phone along with the manual and passed it on to Remus who looked curiously at it.
"This is the reason why I called you here Remus." He explained as Remus picked up the manual and started reading "I want your honest opinion on the subject. I want to know what you think about this invention of mine."
Remus took his time reading the manual instruction and took his time working on the Magical Phone before just like Daphne and Hermione, he smiled and gave a positive review about the new Magical Phone.
"It is… hard to believe that someone as young as you could create such a thing."
"It was not that hard" Harry said, acting humbly for once "It was just taking the concept of the two-way mirror and the floo connection and then merging both of them into a single entity. Nothing more, nothing less."
Remus smiled at his words and shook his head "No Harry. You really deserve your praise. Because if creating such a thing was that easy then someone would have already done it."
Harry chose to remain silent and Remus continued.
"And to think that you created something like this at the mere age of 11. Your parents would be proud of you Harry." He said with a warm smile.
"But that is not why you called me here. Right?"
"Yes." Harry admitted "I called you here because by the end of this term, I would launch this device in the market."
Remus's eyebrow rose and he asked "Isn't that a bit too soon?"
"It probably is." Harry nodded "There are a lot of functions and other stuff that I want to add in it but when I do so, the price of the Phone would eventually go up and the poor people won't be able to afford it anymore."
"So I've decided to make two versions of the Magical Phone. A basic one and a more expensive one that will be sold to the people who have a lot of galleons in their pocket."
"The expensive one will need a lot of work and it's not ready for the market but this one is." He said and pointed at the basic Magical phone.
"What are the other functions that you want to add to the more expensive Magical Phones?" Remus asked and Harry grinned turned feral.
"Now if you were anyone else Remus or if you had not take the Unbreakable vow then I would not even told you that much. But now I know that I can trust you so there's no point in keeping this a secret either."
So he went ahead and told Remus about his ideas regarding the Pensieve and Magical videos.
He of course didn't told the werewolf everything. For example, he had still not told anyone how he was trying to make those memories transferable so that they could go from one Phone to another.
Or that he was trying to create a magical tower that would hold a copy of those memories and duplicate them before sending them to other people.
Well, he would shamelessly admit that he was trying to copy Youtube here but the whole site was just that awesome and he knew for a fact that if he was able to create the magical tower and make the memories transferable (which he was sure he would be able to do given enough time) then the whole Magical Phone concept would truly go viral.
And then once he equips all the magical families in Britain with a Magical Phone, he would expand to other countries.
He told that idea about expanding to Remus who seemed a little surprised at his vision but nodded nonetheless.
"But I am a single person Remus." Harry added "And I cannot spend all of my time mass creating new Magical Phones for the people because that would frankly just be a waste of my time and talent. So I'll have to hire other people who could do it for me."
"Do you see where I'm going with this Remus?" Harry asked and Remus' eyes widened.
"You will hire Werewolves for your… company?" he asked incredulously.
"Yes." Harry replied "I sympathize with your people and I want someone to do my work for me. This way, I can hit two targets with one arrow. You get my meaning?"
Remus gave a slow nod, still trying to understand the full implications of his words.
Then his face turned somber and he seriously asked "You're not joking about this are you?"
"No." Harry replied seriously "This is serious. I've already talked with a few people who left the magical world a long while ago and they've showed a lot of interest in this. But remember Remus, I would only hire people who meet the minimum requirement for the job."
"That is understandable." Remus said quickly "I would talk with a few of the more educated Werewolves in the community. You should know that a lot of them will be home schooled because they didn't get admission in Hogwarts. But I would implore you not to judge them on their humble beginnings."
Harry gave a nod at that and Remus sighed in relief.
The reason why Harry was not worried about this was because even werewolves who did not meet the minimum requirements for the job could get the job of a guard or a bodyguard in his new company.
He was under no illusion that his new invention would make a lot of waves in the magical world and despite the usefulness of his inventions, he would make a lot of enemies. And those enemies might try to break into his new shop as retaliation so proper guards were a huge requirement for him and his new company.
Not to mention that these guards would be his leading force in the war that's about to come.
After that both him and Remus talked about the details of the job and the minimum job requirement for a while before Remus took his leave and immediately went to his closest werewolf allies.
And sitting in his hidden underground base, Harry let out a feral grin.
