Remus Lupin

I visited a werewolf enclave today, the one where Hermione's mother is the Alpha.

We'd already heard through sources that Mrs Granger was not among the group forced to fight at Voldemort's event, but I was relieved to be able to confirm that.

Here's what else I can share. The werewolves at Smythstone, and according to their reports, this is true of other enclaves as well, were horrified and furious when they found out that their kind was treated as monsters to fight and kill for Voldemort's entertainment in December; they're far more open to allying with us, though still distrustful.

The other thing -- I'd heard that the werewolves at the Triumph were bestial, even though it wasn't a full moon. Not fully transformed, but partly, and -- vicious. I'd more or less written that off to the sort of hysteria that thousands of marching inferi might readily engender. But the werewolves at Smythstone told me there's been a couple of Healers coming round testing out potions on werewolves. On research subjects who did not volunteer. And that was the goal of the potion -- to force transformation, or at least partial transformation, even when the moon wasn't full.
