Chapter 760: Battle in the Castle, the Overconfident Death Eater
"Oh my, Fenrir Greyback!"
Professor McGonagall, who had just arrived, immediately took in the sight of the werewolf struggling against the wall.
"Did you do this?"
"No, it was Kyle," Cedric said quickly. "And he even saved me."
"Well done. You’ve solved a major problem for the wizarding world." Professor McGonagall’s usually stern expression softened into a rare smile. She had hurried here upon hearing that Greyback was present.
Fenrir Greyback was one of the most feared and reviled werewolves, infamous for deliberately targeting children, ensuring they grew up isolated, resenting the wizarding world that shunned them.
For most witches and wizards, encountering a werewolf as a child was an incredibly dangerous ordeal. Even if a bitten child’s family was accepting, society at large rarely was. As a result, many of Greyback’s victims eventually turned to him, joining his cause against the world that had rejected them.
Greyback firmly believed that if enough werewolves were created, they would one day overthrow wizarding society. And he had spent years working toward that goal.
Remus Lupin, for example, had been one of his victims.
Had things gone as expected, Lupin would have spent his childhood locked away in an attic or basement, unable to make friends, unable to attend school, growing up in loneliness and isolation.
But fortunately, he had met Dumbledore—a headmaster confident enough to take in a werewolf child.
