Chapter 134

While Devereaux was trying to sort out his thoughts, the blonde girl had already turned her head and looked at him.

Seeing him in a daze, she picked up a magazine from the side and flipped through it.

Devereux glanced at it. It was a copy of "The Quibbler."

"A little girl from Hogwarts reads this kind of magazine?"

Devereux muttered to himself, feeling a little strange.

But right now, he had no time to dwell on this detail.

He tried to sound natural and spoke.

"Um...I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Devero Alexander. Excuse me..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl spoke first.

"I know you."

Devereux raised an eyebrow.

It's not surprising, after all, he is considered a "well-known figure" at Hogwarts.

"Oh, then you probably know my nickname - 'Dark Lord Sandaime'."

Devereaux said, only half joking.

However, the girl obviously did not know this name. She blinked, confusion in her eyes.

"Dark Lord Sandaime? Sorry, I have never heard of this name. Although, it is very suitable for the title of the newspaper. In fact, I think Harry Potter may be more suitable for this name, and my father also thinks so. However, I know you are Professor Snape's apprentice."

Devereaux breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Her name is Professor Snape.

It seems that she is not Snape's daughter.

But while he was relieved, he also realized that this girl was probably too deeply influenced by "The Quibbler."

Just then, the girl jumped down from the table. She was a head shorter than Devereux and a little too thin.

She held the magazine and gave Devereux a strange smile.

"Hello, my name is Luna Lovegood."

"Luna?"

Devereaux nodded and responded reflexively.

However, the next second, he took a step back suddenly and his eyes widened.

"Wait, what?! Luna?!"

he almost shouted.

"Why are you here?!"

Before Devereaux could figure out the situation, a deep voice came from the stairs.

"Why are you dazed? Hurry up and get ready."

It's Snape's voice!

Devereux responded stiffly and ran quickly to the laboratory.

He opened the door, put down his things, and got busy with his hands.

But while he looked calm on the outside, he was in chaos inside.

"Luna? Why is she here? And she's wearing a Hogwarts uniform?!"

Questions popped up in my mind one after another - isn't Luna a year below Harry and the others?

Did she enroll in school early?

When did Hogwarts open preschool?

Or is this an own goal?

Thinking of this, Devereux's hand movements slowed down, and his mind was filled with all kinds of outrageous speculations.

When Snape opened the door to the laboratory, he was followed by a man wearing rumpled, dull egg-yellow robes.

The original color of the robe may have been very dazzling at one time, but now it has obviously not been cared for for a long time.

"How is she doing recently?"

Snape asked.

The man's voice was a little weak, as if he might collapse at any moment.

"Well... it's pretty stable, but... my appetite isn't very good. But there's basically no self-harm during the day."

Snape nodded and said calmly.

"Let her eat more tonight and keep her on an empty stomach until tomorrow before the experiment. This is the first attempt and we must ensure that her body is in the safest state."

"Okay, okay."

The man nodded repeatedly, his voice sounding more like he was forcing himself.

The sound of the conversation between the two was not too low. Devereaux stood aside and clearly heard these conversations.

His mind began to race.

He tried to clear his mind.

The disease seems to strike at specific times, such as Saturday nights, and can lead to self-harm.

And only Snape can provide the corresponding treatment plan.

At this moment, a familiar term suddenly flashed into Devereaux's mind.

Something he has been studying recently.

"But... why?"

His eyes turned to the man involuntarily.

He was so weak that even his posture seemed unsteady.

Isn't this Xenophilius Lovegood?

Luna's father.

Editor-in-Chief of The Quibbler.

Everything started to come together.

Devereux had sent him a letter two weeks ago...

While Devero was receiving the letter, he was attacked by the Priory of Tindalos.

So... what about this guy who wrote back?

What will happen to them?

A nauseating feeling shot straight into Devereaux's throat. He held onto the sink and retched, almost spitting out his dinner.

Snape stepped forward, frowning, and reached out to pat Devereux on the back.

"What's wrong? Did you eat something bad? If you feel unwell, go back tonight. I can handle it here."

Devereaux did not respond.

He just stood up stiffly, turned and walked towards the door of the laboratory.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Snape's voice came from behind.

Devereaux didn't stop.

His thoughts were confused, but an idea kept growing inside him.

He had to confirm one thing.

When she came to the door, Luna was squatting by the wall next to her, looking down at "The Quibbler" in her hand.

Seeing Devereaux coming out, she raised her head and spoke in a light and teasing tone.

"What's wrong, Mr. Fourth Dark Lord? I still think Harry Potter is more suitable to be the third Dark Lord."

Devereux didn't answer.

With trembling hands, he opened his panel system and pointed it at Luna.

Devereux sat slumped in front of the laboratory door, his mind blank.

"Lycanthropy... severe lycanthropy."

What he feared came true.

(I'm sorry everyone, I got caught fishing for money at work today (╥_╥). Various accidents happened one after another. I'm sorry, so there were only three updates yesterday. Today I will update five to compensate everyone. I'm ruthlessly exploiting the boss⁽͑ ˙˚̀⚐˚́˙⁾̉ ).
