Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 240 The Right Motivation! Lupin's Illness!

Shortly after the crew members and Filch left, Dumbledore arrived at the scene.

Seeing the Weasleys chatting with their children, he thought of calling Lupin and Dudley to the school hospital so as not to disturb the Weasleys' family time together.

But Ron and the Weasley twins were not happy about it.

Once the initial excitement of their reunion wore off, Molly began asking Ron about his studies and whether the Weasley twins were still researching pranks and tricks.

They brought up their appointment by Dudley as class monitor and special teaching assistant in an attempt to win their mother's praise.

However, Molly didn't believe it at all. In her mind, only Percy, who was always diligent, disciplined, and excellent, was the one who could give her the most peace of mind.

Seeing this, Dudley stepped forward to vouch for Ron and the Weasley twins.

Molly reluctantly believed what her three children had said.

However, it's also a common practice for parents to use Dali as an example of "someone else's child" to "motivate" their own children.

Whether in his past life or this one, Dudley is extremely averse to this kind of comparison.

People have different talents and abilities. Parents can devote resources to nurturing their children, but it's best not to compare their children to other children's works.

No child likes this kind of comparison. It not only fails to motivate children, but also worsens the parent-child relationship and causes children to develop a rebellious mentality.

Judging from the expressions of Ron and the Weasley twins, their thoughts were in line with Dudley's expectations.

"Alright, Mrs. Weasley. I swear on my honor that Ron, Fred, and George will all become exceptionally good wizards in the future, and you need not be so harsh on them."

You know, my parents weren't like yours. From childhood to adulthood, they never used other children's strengths to belittle or 'motivate' me.

Dudley spoke up to help his companions out of the predicament, and used the technique of 'fighting magic with magic'.

"This……"

Molly felt a sudden surge of disgust upon hearing Dudley's words, but being a kind and understanding person, she quickly reflected on her actions and blushed with shame.

"It seems Mrs. Weasley understands what I mean. Let's go then! Let's take Mr. Lupin to the university hospital for a check-up!"

This time, Dali didn't press his advantage; instead, he immediately changed the subject.

He also ignored the surprised looks Arthur and Lupin gave him.

But when Dudley saw the grateful looks Ron and the Weasley twins giving him, his gaze hardened, and he spoke directly to the three of them:

"Those who have classes in the afternoon should prepare for class, and those who don't should go to the library to study!"

"You are all student leaders appointed by me. If you lose to the other students in the practical sparring this weekend, it won't just be you who lose face, but also me!"

Upon hearing this, Ron, the Weasley twins, and even Percy couldn't help but become serious, and they quickly and in unison assured Dudley:

"Yes, Assistant Dursley! We will absolutely not let you down!"

Afterwards, the four brothers said goodbye to their parents and left in a hurry.

Now, Molly's gaze toward Dudley turned to surprise, and Arthur's surprise even turned into a deeper shock.

Percy is one thing, but when did Ron, Fred, and George, those three naughty kids, become so obedient?

"Please, you must tell me your educational insights!" Arthur couldn't help but lean closer to Dali, humbly seeking his advice.

Dali smiled slightly and replied, "Of course, of course!"

Then, led by Dumbledore, who seemed unfazed by the situation, the group headed to the school hospital on the second floor.

On the way, Dudley shared some knowledge about child psychology and educational psychology with the Weasleys in simple and easy-to-understand language, which they found very helpful.

During this time, the Weasleys led their team to search for Muggle talents across the country, gaining exposure to knowledge in similar disciplines.

However, those technical terms and dry concepts are indeed difficult for wizards to understand.

They only scratch the surface, focusing more on the knowledge and character of Muggle talents, and busy selecting, persuading, and transporting them.

Unlike the professors at Hogwarts, they did not delve deeply into learning these subjects from Muggle talents.

The little incident that just happened made the Weasleys realize the usefulness and importance of this knowledge.

They decided that once the number of selected Muggle talents reached the target, they would also go to Hogsmeade Village to teach the Muggle talents a lesson.

To be honest, although their family of seven children is generally warm and harmonious, they each have their own problems in reality.

The cognitive gap between parents and children is a real phenomenon.

……

The Weasleys and the members of the Muggle talent recruitment team did not stay at Hogwarts for long.

After confirming that the snake venom in Lupin's body was discovered in time and would not endanger his life, they left Lupin behind, had a simple lunch, and then embarked on their journey across the country to search for Muggle talents.

The reason for suspending all team members' missions this time was to escort Lupin to Hogwarts for treatment.

One reason was the fear of encountering possible attacks from remaining loyal Death Eaters on the road, lest Lupin suffer another accident.

Secondly, Dudley and Dumbledore need to check on the group members to see if any of them have been afflicted by the Imperius Curse or replaced with Polyjuice Potion.

The Barty incident served as a wake-up call for Dudley and Dumbledore; it's always better to be cautious.

As the group was about to depart, Dudley and Dumbledore personally saw them off. One of them used his real name to check on the group members, while the other used Legilimency to examine them thoroughly.

The result was good; everyone was fine.

This relieved Old Deng.

But soon, a new situation arose.

Madame Pomfrey's medical skills were truly inadequate for handling overly complex illnesses.

After examining Lupin, she assumed that Lupin and Moody were in similar situations, both having had their snake venom sealed by the same person using the same sealing magic. She thought that all she needed to do was have Professor Snape repeat the treatment plan from the previous night.

But when Snape received the news and confirmed that Ecclesia in the intensive care unit had temporarily calmed the Voldemort soul within her, he rushed to the ward where Lupin and Moody were. After frowning and giving the slightly embarrassed Lupin a physical examination with a disgusted look, he discovered...

Although Lupin is conscious, able to walk, jump, and talk, and appears to be healthy, his condition is actually more serious than Moody's.

Because the sealing magic within Lupin's body is not like that within Moody's body, which completely seals off the snake venom.

Instead, it made a small opening, slowly releasing snake venom to chronically poison Lu Ping.

Moreover, this situation has been going on for some time.

The released snake venom not only damaged Lu Ping's bodily organs, but also mixed with Lu Ping's pre-existing wolfification, mutating and creating new toxins.
