Bab 90: Chapter-90: Werewolf?
After reading the letter sent by Sirius, Ronan turned towards Harry, "What do you want me to say man?"
"What do you think?" Harry asked hesitantly, "Should I invite him?"
Ronan passed him a smile, "Sure. He is my uncle, I would love to listen to more stories about my mother. And you would certainly be interested in talking to him."
"I.." Harry didnt know what to say.
Ronan understood what Harry was going through, he was feeling guilty at the moment. Harry felt that he was living in his friend's house without rent, and then calling a inviting a criminal into the house was just pushing it.
Little did Harry know that Ronan himself had invited Sirius to stay. There was a letter in the bag that he gave to Sirius in which he invited the man to his house. He figured that making that man his puppet would start when he would be able to get in touch with him at any moment.
And as Sirius had the ability to turn into a dog, whenever any guest would arrive, that man could hide himself from the world with ease. So Sirius could stay in the house as long as he liked. Also, he was planning to cast Fedilius Charm to his house that summer, which would provide him that extra protection…
Harry was unable to say anything and looked guilty as hell. Which is why Ronan suddenly exclaimed, "Drop it, Harry," he said, "That place is your home as well. You dont have to feel guilty to invite guests there." Harry faintly smiled.
It was then they all heard footsteps approaching, and all of them turned around to see Albus Dumbledore walking into the infirmary. The old man came to their bed and smiled at them, "It is good to visit your friend in the hospital. But that shouldn't come at the cost of missing the classes,"
Hermione eyes widened with surprise, "Oh no! We have charms!" She then made all of them stand up, they bade him goodbye and ran away towards the class.
After they were gone, Dumbledore sat down on the bed beside him, "How are you feeling Ronan?" he asked in a gentle voice.
"I am feeling just fine Professor,"
"Ronan," he stared into the eyes of the old man, "Am I to assume, that this incident had nothing to do with the letter that you sent me the other day? Was this a coincidence?"
The main problem that Ronan was facing in the school was the life of the school itself. The lectures were boring, and they didnt teach him shit. He wanted to experiment with a lot of things and wanted to actively participate in the opening and administration of BetterLife Industries that he would be launching this year. But he was bound to mundane school life.
Which is why, he sent a letter to the old man about his predicament. He wanted permission to use the floo network to his house every other day so that he could at least run his company in peace. The old man had still not sent a reply to him, but he was optimistic that he would allow him.
"This a coincidence sir," he said truthfully, "I was just curious about the art of apparition. Which led me to borrow a book on it, and the rest is as you know it,"
"Then why I am having a hard time believing you?"
"I dont want to say," he replied.
Dumbledore then pushed himself up, Seeing your current circumstance, I think that you would need an Apparation instructor, so you dont hurt yourself. And let me remind you, Ronan. You are still under the laws of under-age wizardry. Act appropriately." With that Dumbledore left, leaving him behind.
After Dumbledore went away. As he basked in the silence of the room, and relaxed, the doors of the infirmary were thrown open and a couple barged in.
The woman, like the man, was blond. Both of them had light skin color, and based on the clothes they were wearing, they were fucking rich as well. He realized that he might be looking at Daphne's parents. So he sat up straight to greet them, but they went straight for the curtained Daphne.
Seeing that they were not interested in meeting him, he laid back down again. "DAPHNE!" he heard the mother yell, and then he started hearing some murmurs from everyone. From the tone of their voices, it was evident that they were arguing with the matron and Professor Snape. He figured that they might come to him as well, so he kept his wand by his side, just in case.
And he was glad that he did.
After the heated murmurs stopped, it was the father that came out of the curtains fuming. He looked at him with furious eyes, "YOU! You are the one that did this to Daphne,"
Guilty, he sat up straight and passed the man with an innocent smile. "Yes sir.. I am sorry about that. It was an accident….." His words seemed to not affect him, he looked more mad than before. Before he knew it, that madman had his wand out and pointed at him.
"Mr. Greengrass," he said nonchalantly, "I know that you are angry, but please behave yourself."
"What the hell did you say?" the madman asked menacingly,
Seeing that there was no merit in speaking politely, Ronan immediately whipped out his wand. With his speed, he was able to knock the wand out of the man's hand before he could understand what happened.
Greengrass's wand flew and he caught it very easily, and then said, "As I was saying Mr. Greengrass, what happened to your daughter was a tragedy. And freaky tragedy. I am very apologetic for it."
The man looked still pissed, but hearing the spells being fired warranted the attention of everyone in the infirmary. As they came out, they all understood what transpired there when they saw that he was holding two wands.
Madame Promfrey gave the Greengrass fellow an earful, and so did Daphne and her mother. In the end, the man looked so defeated, that he sat down on the side of the infirmary and didnt say anything else till the end.
Daphne and her mother apologized to Ronan, and he forgave them. He brushed off the entire event as something insignificant and they agreed with it.
Later his friends also came to visit them, and he told them all about his abilities and how they worked. But during their talking, he noticed Blaise didnt say much. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts. And sure enough, he requested to talk to him alone after they were done talking. Pancy and Daphne did give them a look for their so-called private talk, but they relented quite easily.
Blaise sat down beside his bed, and gravely said, "When are you allowed to leave the infirmary?"
Hearing his serious voice, Ronan questioned, "Why? Is something wrong?"
Blaise made sure that no one was around, and then whispered, "I have found something about one of the professors.. And I want to make sure that I am right,"
"What?"
"Its about.. Lupin,"
"What about him?" he asked curiously.
"I think… he might.. He might be a werewolf,"
Ronan was quite surprised to hear such an accusation, "Why? What proof do you have?"
Blaise then sat back, "Do you remember the Ravenclaw… who is my friend," he nodded, "Well… to impress her in DADA, I used your Werewolf essay. And did some research on my own. That is when I realized that Lupin always vanishes around the full moon. He is always in bad health. And he.. Has a taste for meat as well,"
"Wait a second," he said swiftly, and Ronan then went to his mind tree. With ease, he located leaves containing memories about Lupin. And sure enough, Lupin had been absent during every full moon. Then he nodded his head, "Yeah… That is true. He had been absent during the full moon."
"Really?" Blaise asked, visibly surprised, "You sure?"
"Yeah. I saw my memories, and you are right,"
Blaise was taken aback, and then asked, "You can do that? How?"
"I am a Natural Born Occulmen,"
"What is that?" making Ronan sigh.
In the end, Ronan advised that he should go with this knowledge to Snape. Everyone knows that the Potion Master hates Lupin for some reason. Maybe he would be able to shed some light on the subject.
Blaise at first was reluctant to go to Snape, he directly wanted to go to his mother, and from there she would care for the rest. But Ronan advised against such action, he felt that something this huge should be confirmed at first, then one should involve the Board of the School…
***
As the hot days of May rolled around, a lot of things took place in the walls of Hogwarts. Firstly, Lupin was fired as he was a werewolf. It seemed that Professor Snape hated the man because as soon as Blaise brought up the issue with him, the Potion Master straight away confessed. Since then, the DADA classes were taken over by Professor Snape.
The second most important thing was that Ronan got his prohibitory Apparation license. It only took him a few classes to grasp the art of Apparation, and he had gotten pretty good at it as well. But because of the Statue of Secrecy Laws, he was not allowed to actively use apparitions. He was only allowed to use it in the case of emergencies.
Thirdly, Daphne's French Lesson was officially over. He still didnt have a command of the language, but he had learned enough to have a casual conversation, and he could read everything that was in French.
And the last and most importantly, Ronan officially launched the first product of his company, Post Book…
