"That would be perfect. By the way, Kane, what do you think of this Mr. Remus Lupin?"
Dumbledore pointed at Lupin and asked Kane with a smile.
"Lupin? Not bad, very professional, and a good guy too. He single-handedly took down six people. By the way, how did you get to this level?" Kane said, then looked at Lupin.
He had wanted to ask this question for a while, but he was afraid of making things too intimate with someone he didn't know well. But things are different now. They had just been risking their lives together recently, so it's no problem for him to ask this kind of question.
Lupin gave a slightly embarrassed "Uh-huh," he said, "It's like this, because of some health reasons, I haven't told you before... I'm a werewolf. That's why I've been avoiding Dumbledore's invitations. After all, as a junior wizard, would you want your professor to be a werewolf?"
"Werewolf!"
Hearing Kane's surprised exclamation, Lupin was just about to think to himself, "I knew it," when Kane continued, "Actually, it's alright, but what are werewolves? We haven't learned that yet."
"It's a curse that's a bit luckier than the Blood Curse Orcs. On the night of the full moon, they transform into mindless beasts that only destroy and fight. This curse is also contagious, which is why werewolves are disliked in the magical world," Lupin said with a hint of helplessness.
"Ah, you transform on the night of the full moon? You're just like someone I know, Woody, similar to Lupin." Kane raised an eyebrow.
"Is he a werewolf too?" Lupin asked.
"No, no, no, he is conscious when he transforms, and he has more than one transformation form. He has three forms: deer-man, beaver, and goose. Moreover, later he learned a skill that prevents him from transforming on his own during a full moon. He can also make things that allow him to actively control his transformation..." Kane explained.
"That sounds incredibly powerful. I'm talking about that person; he's actually managed to tame his own curse," Lupin said, a hint of envy in his voice.
"Actually, he's not particularly strong. His fighting style requires a lot of skill. You have to follow up with a right punch after you throw a left punch, while the enemy is disoriented and can't find their way. Overall... it requires a lot of skill."
Kane couldn't continue speaking towards the end; how could he have said such things?
Of course, Lupin ignored Kane's Versailles-esque language, said nothing, and his eyes were full of envy.
Dumbledore, however, directly helped Lupin ask the question he wanted to: "So how did your friend manage to control himself and eventually break free from the control of the full moon?"
"I think controlling oneself is simply a matter of practice. As for other methods, such as actively transforming into a beast form, he makes a special edible statue. I've seen him do it before, and maybe I can help Lupin try it. There's also the Full Moon Affinity... I've heard him mention it too, but it's quite troublesome."
From the moment Kane first brought this up, the hint of envy in Lupin's eyes never faded.
Dumbledore, sensing Lupin's thoughts, spoke up for him, saying, "Perhaps you'll need Kane's help?"
"It's not impossible." Kane raised an eyebrow, took three pieces of monster meat from the little pumpkin's mouth, and made a monster statue like Woody.
It's just a clumsy imitation of the strong. Woody made a deer head statue and ate it to become a deer-headed man. By the same token, Lupin should be able to become a werewolf by eating a wolf head statue.
However, an awkward scene unfolded after Lupin ate the statue.
Apart from Lupin's stomach churning violently as he rushed to the toilet, nothing else happened.
"Perhaps it's because the monster meat isn't pure. This monster meat comes from spiders. Maybe one day we should find some monster meat from werewolves," Kane said somewhat awkwardly.
"That's not something that can be easily resolved right now, but Kane, could you do me a favor?"
"Dumbledore asked."
"you say."
"Do you have any free time during the next holiday? Perhaps you could help Lupin."
Kane shrugged. "I can't guarantee that."
"I'm glad you're willing to do it."
"And what about Lupin? Would he be willing to let me help him?" Kane then asked.
"Of course he's willing, he's just shy about saying it. I'll ask him, 'So, are you willing to help me with this?'" Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Okay." Kane shrugged, made sure Dumbledore had nothing else to do, and left the headmaster's office. He soon returned.
"Oh right, I almost forgot something important. I need phoenix tail feathers to make Harry's flying broom."
Dumbledore nodded and took eight phoenix tail feathers from the drawer, handing them to Kane: "After all, the flying broomsticks used in Quidditch are different from your extreme travel. Quidditch requires a lot of control and turning, so the speed needs to be reduced accordingly."
"Of course, I don't want Harry to get hit by something and turn into a pig after only three minutes on the field because he's too fast."
Kane then gave Dumbledore a very strange salute with a feather, as if to say, "Don't worry about me, just watch whether I can turn Harry's flying broom into a super machine and overturn everything."
After leaving the principal's office, they ran into Lu Ping, who was clutching his stomach as he went upstairs. The two were embarrassed to see each other, looking like two scholars standing there, one touching his chin and the other his upper chin, before they passed each other.
When Kane returned to the Gryffindor common room, he found that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all gone; they must have gone to that secret base to brew potions.
Kane shrugged, relieved to have some free time to make a broom. He went back to his giant potato workshop in his dorm room and quickly made Harry's Y8 flying broom, which was still a standard competition broom.
If we were to draw an analogy with bicycles, perhaps the flying broomstick used in the race would be a road bike, while Kane's mantis shrimp would be a mountain bike.
Both have their advantages; Harry's broom is fast and easy to control.
The advantages of the Kane Mantis Shrimp are its fast acceleration and good handling, followed by its rapid acceleration...
Of course, due to the nature of the usage scenario, Kane riding a mantis shrimp is like a Bugatti driving on an unrestricted highway in Germany. As long as you go fast enough and don't lose your head, the probability of an accident is still low.
Harry, on the other hand, is going to play Quidditch on a broomstick, which is just as dangerous as driving on a two-way road at dawn.
"Harry's rival, don't blame me for being despicable, after all, we're all trying our best to live."
