Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"That's why we need the cooperation of the Ministry of Magic. Take a look at this, the werewolf registration and management system I designed."

Lupin took the parchment and looked at it carefully.

The registration process is detailed above:

First, you need to provide proof of identity and werewolf identification, then you must undergo a three-month trial of the new wolfsbane potion at a designated location, during which time you must undergo regular inspections by the Ministry of Magic, and finally pass the assessment before you can obtain a formal work permit.

"Are you planning to turn them into non-staff members of the Ministry of Magic?" Lupin said helplessly.

"To be precise, it's about making werewolves legitimate citizens of the wizarding world."

Douglas said seriously.

"Moon Face, what do you think of the current situation of werewolves? They're hiding, discriminated against, and don't even have the basic right to survive. My plan at least gives them a choice, a chance to legalize themselves."

Lupin was silent for a moment, then asked:

"What about Greyback and his men? They will never accept this kind of management."

"Then let the Ministry of Magic handle it."

Douglas raised his eyebrows and said:

"If we gather all the moderate werewolves together, wouldn't the only ones left be Greyback and his extremists? Then it will be clear who the good guys are and who the bad guys are."

Seeing that Lupin was about to say something, Douglas interrupted him and said:

"I know what you're worried about, Moony. Think about it, if a group of werewolves are used to receiving new wolfsbane potions every month, and are used to normal jobs and income, and someone suddenly comes out and says, 'Follow me and become a beast again,' do you think they'll agree?"

Lupin was stunned for a moment, then he understood Douglas's intention.

"You want the werewolves to form a community of interests so that they won't be easily instigated."

"clever!"

Douglas gave a thumbs-up.

"People are lazy, including werewolves. When they get used to a decent life, who would want to go back to the days of hiding?

What's more, we can also cultivate some opinion leaders among the werewolf community and guide their values."

Lupin turned to the last few pages of the plan, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Douglas, why does the structure of your Werewolf Mutual Aid Association look like a paramilitary organization?"

"Where is it?"

Douglas feigned innocence.

"It's just an ordinary membership organization. It has a president, vice presidents, and regional leaders. It's normal."

"Normal as hell!"

Lupin pointed to a line on the document.

"Every month around the full moon, we have seven days of group training to improve our physical fitness and magical skills. The organization also provides some subsidies. This is clearly training the team!"

Douglas chuckled:

“Around the full moon, it’s to prevent some of them from not taking their medicine on time.

As for training, it's called rehabilitation. Think about it, werewolves have been discriminated against for a long time, suffering from severe psychological trauma, and their physical functions have also been damaged by frequent transformations.

We are helping them recover and learn some self-defense skills to avoid being bullied by other wizards."

"Self-defense skills..."

Lupin shook his head speechlessly. "You have 'tactical coordination training' and 'team combat exercises' written here, and you call this self-defense?"

"Of course it's self-defense!"

Douglas said seriously.

"Look, what if a dark wizard attacks a werewolf colony? What if other dangerous creatures invade? Werewolves can't just sit there and wait for death, right? So they must have some self-protection capabilities."

The office door suddenly flew open and Sirius walked in, holding a stack of parchment.

“Doug, I did it!”

Sirius waved the papers excitedly.

"The Ministry of Magic has agreed to purchase the first batch of magic props. Although Scrimgeour was stubborn, he finally signed the contract."

Douglas took the contract and read it.

Sirius winked at Lupin and said smugly:

"Doug, you'll never guess how much we've gained today."

Then he plopped down on the chair Lupin had brought for him.

"That Scrimgeour applied to the Ministry of Magic for procurement funds this morning. The initial order is for 50 sets of tactical communication earrings, 30 badge shields, and 100 immobilization flash grenades."

Lupin said in surprise, "You placed the order so quickly?"

"Of course. After all, this is a matter of great importance to the Aurors' combat effectiveness," Sirius said proudly. "More importantly, the Ministry of Magic probably wants to make a presence at this Quidditch World Cup."

Douglas nodded:

"Yes, this proves that our products do have market value. But Sirius, did you give them a discount on the price?"

Sirius chuckled and said, "Of course, I gave them a 9.8% discount as a friendly discount."

Lupin nearly choked on his tea. "A 9.8% discount? You call that a discount?"

"Hey, Moony, you don't understand." Sirius waved his hand. "This is called hunger marketing. The higher the price, the more valuable it seems. And I've already told Scrimgeour that this batch is a limited edition, and the next batch may be assembly line products."

Douglas couldn't help but laugh. "You've learned some pretty good sales techniques. By the way, what's Fudge's reaction?"

Sirius's expression was a little complicated:

"Fudge didn't say anything, but I could sense that his attitude towards us had changed. What happened last night made him realize that Hogwarts was no longer under his complete control."

"It seems like he should take some action," Douglas said. "At least it proves that we have a certain say, which will also be helpful to Lupin's next plan."

After saying that, he read the contract thoroughly.

"Yes, the first order is 10,000 gold galleons. It seems that last night's demonstration was very effective."

"It's more than good!"

Sirius gloated.

"Fudge now has a new respect for you, especially after seeing the Daily Prophet portray him as a 'brave reformer'. He's so proud of you that he can't wait to make you the Ministry of Magic's official expert."

Lupin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So all this is part of your plan?"

Chapter 356 Sirius: “Heh!”

In the evening, after seeing off the people from the Wizarding Examination Authority.

Dumbledore summons Douglas, Sirius, and Lupin to the headmaster's office.

After serving each of the three a cup of black tea, Dumbledore asked gently:

"Lupin, how are you feeling today?"

Lupin, who looked tired, said with a smile on his face:

"Not bad, I never thought a werewolf would be so popular!"

Sirius snorted coldly:

"If Remus wasn't worried about missing the letters asking for help from real werewolves, he would have had Douglas block his name."

Douglas took a sip of tea slowly and said:

"If you want to be a hero, there are all kinds of attacks besides flowers. Just get used to it!"

Dumbledore twitched his beard and asked with a smile on his face:

"Oh, it seems that little Doug also wants to be a hero. He has studied heroes so thoroughly..."

Douglas' heart immediately started to ring with alarm bells, and he quickly waved his hands to explain: "Principal, I was just saying it casually..."

Good heavens, if we agree to this, who knows what Mr. Deng will do.

Dumbledore sat in his chair, his hands folded on his desk.

"Actually, I have some news to tell you today. This afternoon, I received letters from the Department of International Magical Cooperation from several countries. They expressed their concern about the werewolf incident at Hogwarts and hope to send someone to conduct an on-site investigation."

Sirius frowned, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"That depends on how we handle it," said Dumbledore. "If handled properly, this could be a great opportunity to showcase our achievements to the international wizarding community. If handled improperly..."

"If we don't handle it properly, we will be labeled a 'dangerous experiment'."

Douglas then said, "Principal, what do you mean?"

Dumbledore smiled and said:

“I personally think that maybe we should be proactive.

Instead of passively waiting for inspections, it is better to proactively invite more international representatives to visit.

Let them see that the improved wolfsbane potion is not some dangerous experiment, but a major breakthrough in magical medicine."

Douglas said nothing, but carefully considered the pros and cons.

He hadn't thought of this. At the beginning, he just planned to deal with the werewolf issue in the UK first, and then radiate to other countries.

According to Dumbledore, it is now estimated that multiple initiatives will have to be carried out simultaneously, and cooperation will have to be carried out with the Ministries of Magic of various countries, which is likely to cause some uncertainty.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for his reply, Douglas said:

"Then let them come. We now not only have the endorsement of the Ministry of Magic, but also Headmaster Dumbledore's prestige in the international wizarding community. This is enough for us to deal with some of the things that may happen next. I already have a new plan."

Seeing that Douglas's teacup was empty, Dumbledore snapped his fingers and the cup was immediately filled and steaming hot.

Then he grabbed a handful of candy and said with interest, "Tell me more about it!"

Douglas picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Sirius laughed and scolded: "Just tell me how thirsty you are!"

Douglas chuckled:

"You don't understand. It's more comfortable to drink other people's good tea... Well, if all the magical ministries in Europe come to us for cooperation, then we can move on to the second stage of promotion."

"Phase two? It's not in your plan." Lupin asked curiously.

"Establish an International Werewolf Rescue Foundation."

Douglas's eyes flashed.

"In the name of humanitarianism, establish werewolf shelters and treatment centers in various countries, and then..."

Lupin understood instantly that this guy just wanted to set up a werewolf paramilitary.

"Then there was a network of werewolves spread across various countries in Europe."

Sirius praised: "As expected of a novelist, he thinks far ahead..."

"Don't praise me, I'll be shy."

Douglas waved his hand in mock modesty.

"But honestly, I'm doing this for the sake of peace in the wizarding world. Think about it, if werewolves became organized and disciplined groups, would there still be lunatics like Greyback biting people everywhere?"

Sirius: "Heh!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After hearing Douglas's ideas, Dumbledore applauded.

"That's a great idea. I think you should be the president of the International Confederation of Wizards... You'd definitely do a better job than me."

Douglas rolled his eyes in response.

Dumbledore chuckled:

"Then it's decided. I will contact the Department of International Magical Cooperation and invite representatives from various countries to visit Hogwarts next month. Of course, this also means we will need to work overtime during the summer vacation."

Sirius suddenly thought of something: "Wait, if an international delegation is coming, doesn't that mean there will be an international market for our magic props?"

Douglas said with regret, "That's a good idea. Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment. I have other plans for magic props. For now, we will only cooperate with the Ministry of Magic."
