HP: Alchemy? Nah, It's Crafting

Over the next month, Kasenhis used this enchantment book method to cure six more werewolves. Including Lupin and Marcus, that made a total of eight werewolves successfully cured.

At the same time, the combined use of the Enchanting Table and the Enchantment Book for curing werewolves was officially published as a paper.

This time, it wasn't just a small alchemy community journal—it took up two full pages in the Daily Prophet, providing a detailed but censored explanation of the process.

Additionally, it included testimonies from the eight cured werewolf wizards and an announcement:

On the day of the full moon, a small stall in Diagon Alley would distribute free enchanted books, and Professor Kasenhis of Hogwarts would be present to provide a basic tutorial on how to use the Enchantment Table and Enchantment Book.

Essentially, it was going to be a brief but official launch event.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Ministry of Magic...

"This is the security force we've arranged for your so-called Enchantment Book Distribution, Mr. His. I hope you understand that since Diagon Alley is the most densely populated area for wizards in England, I require your absolute cooperation."

"If these werewolf wizards riot, or if your so-called cure fails, and these werewolves transform under tonight's full moon and begin attacking innocent witches and wizards—"

"Our Aurors and Hit Wizards will immediately suppress them. If necessary, we will eliminate them. You are not to interfere, you will not resist, and you will not lead them in resistance or aid them in escaping justice."

Rufus Scrimgeour, Head of the Auror Office, spoke to Kasenhis with an expression as serious as stone.

"Of course, of course," Kasenhis nodded in agreement, waving a hand casually. "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that most werewolves have terrible mobility, I would've held the event in the middle of nowhere."

"But unfortunately," he continued with a sigh, "werewolf wizards as strong as Remus Lupin are incredibly rare... In fact, most of them don't even qualify to take the Apparition exam."

"It's good that you understand."

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Kasenhis blinked and appeared at the small stall he had set up for the event.

On the table, there was an Enchanting Table and a counter, while below it, a small box was filled with Enchantment Books.

Very quickly, a huge crowd of werewolf wizards gathered, completely surrounding the small stall.

However, compared to the entire wizarding population, werewolves were still a minority, so their presence didn't cause any major chaos in Diagon Alley.

Of course, that was also because waves of Aurors were stationed around, maintaining strict order—and the werewolf wizards themselves had no intention of causing trouble.

The ones who had long embraced the wild, those who enjoyed preying on the weak, didn't even bother showing up.

Before long, the last werewolf wizard had their werewolf symbols completely erased.

Kasenhis collapsed into his chair, stretching so hard his bones cracked.

Soon after, the Aurors escorted the newly cured werewolf wizards to the Ministry's designated testing chambers.

There, they would undergo a final trial—waiting until the light of the full moon shone upon them.

If not a single hair sprouted from their bodies, the cure was officially proven.

As for the professor responsible for all of this—he had already passed out in bed, entering a deep sleep before anyone could bother him.

The next day…

"You know, the last time I went to Flourish and Blotts to buy some alchemy books, the shopkeeper—Merlin knows why—sold me a butchered alchemy textbook."

Kasenhis yawned, flipping through a rather disappointing book in his hands.

"The book is so badly censored, it doesn't even have Runes in it."

"Since then, I swore that the next time I saw him, I'd make sure to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget... So, now that I've said all this, can you tell me—do you know that person or not?"

Kasenhis and Lupin were sitting across from the owner of Flourish and Blotts, who was currently shivering in fear, already regretting letting that damned employee take the day off yesterday.

"...Alright, I won't make things difficult for you," Kasenhis said, glancing around at the bookstore packed with customers before deciding to find a quiet corner to sit down.

Meanwhile, Lupin, looking bored out of his mind, had picked up a random book and was flipping through it.

"Uh-huh, go ahead, I'm listening," the bookstore owner said nervously.

"Yesterday, across the street from your shop, I cured a bunch of werewolf wizards. You saw the front page of The Daily Prophet today, right?"

"Of course! Front page news—can't exactly miss it."

"Ahem, so I'm here to talk about... working together for the betterment of the wizarding world. And also—to discuss a business deal."

Kasenhis reached into his pocket and pulled out a Werewolf Curse Removal Enchantment Book.

"I'm setting the price at one Galleon per book. I'd like to entrust Flourish and Blotts with the distribution."

The bookstore owner's face twisted with concern.

"One Galleon? For a book this valuable?! Don't you want to price it higher? Look over there—that idiot doing a book signing? His garbage book is going for ten Galleons each, and he's selling out! Your book is worth way more!"

"Werewolves can barely afford a single Knut, let alone ten Galleons. One Galleon is already enough to filter out those who genuinely want to escape their condition from those who don't. Besides, you don't even have to spend a single Knut to stock these books—I'll supply them for free."

Kasenhis enthusiastically patted the bookstore owner's shoulder, grinning as if he had just secured the best deal of the century.

"Oh my… Well… if that's the case… I suppose it's not entirely unreasonable…"

"So, we have a deal, then?" Kasenhis asked, smiling.

"Yes, yes! I'll head to Hogwarts to pick them up later. Since you're not making any money from this, it wouldn't be right to make you go out of your way. I'll advertise it properly and provide clear instructions—those wizards looking to rid themselves of their werewolf curse will come on their own."

"See? That's why you have such a big heart, store owner."

As he spoke, Kasenhis casually pulled out a long wooden box, flipping it open to reveal a neatly stacked pile of Werewolf Curse Removal Enchantment Books.

"You… already brought them?!"

"Of course! I foresaw it! I knew you were a good man, owner."

The bookstore owner, now officially certified as a 'good man', didn't say much. He simply picked up the box and started placing books on the shelves. Meanwhile, Kasenhis and Lupin exchanged glances.

"Not bad, right? I never expected that I'd have this much influence outside of the alchemy circles," Kasenhis mused.

"Mm-hmm… I think this is where we part ways for now. I won't be going back to Hogwarts—I've spent years drifting aimlessly as a werewolf, but now it's time I took some time to put my life back in order."

"I hope everything falls into place for you soon," Kasenhis said sincerely.

Just as the two were about to step out of Flourish and Blotts, a sudden commotion erupted from inside the bookstore.

"Professor Kasenhis?!"

"Merlin's sweaty socks! That's really Professor Kasenhis!"

'What.. was the need to add sweaty in there..?' Kasenhis, completely bewildered, turned around—only to be met with the synchronized gaze of nearly half the third-years and above in the bookstore, all staring straight at him.

As for Lupin, he hadn't left yet either.

Not because he was particularly interested in the commotion—but because, when he turned around instinctively, he caught sight of a very familiar figure.

An incredibly familiar figure.
