"No need." Oren lowered his eyes without looking at him, "I just went to the designated place and brought him over. You should thank the person who truly saved him."
"It's all the same, all the same," Lucius said.
At this moment, Oren seemed to think of something, and looked up to ask:
"But there's one thing I'm curious about, how much does your son hate his classmates to actually send a werewolf to Hogwarts?"
"I didn't!" Draco Malfoy instinctively replied: "I didn't know he would come, I only told Alecto and Dolohov."
"Really?" Oren said indifferently.
"Draco indeed never mentioned it, I can testify to that," Lucius quickly said. "When we were discussing the attack on Hogwarts, Greyback wasn't here at all. He insisted on going after he heard about it later... he obviously didn't want to miss the great opportunity to go to Hogwarts.
"I heard you were once the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, what a pity. If only Draco had enrolled a year earlier."
Lucius fully utilized his social skills, trying to find a common topic.
"Are you sure?" Oren looked at him, raising an eyebrow mockingly.
For some reason, Lucius felt uneasy being looked at like that, and he also recalled some legends about Oren.
The only professor in Hogwarts in the past century who attempted to kill students and actually took action.
It can be said he chose Kael, otherwise, anyone else would surely have died in the Forbidden Forest.
If it were Draco...
Inexplicably, Lucius shivered, not daring to think further.
He felt that Oren was definitely abnormal, completely unable to guess what the other was thinking, or rather, any normal person couldn't guess.
Seeing Lucius not speaking, Oren curled his lips disdainfully, leaned back lazily in the chair, and yawned.
"Strange, why didn't I see Greyback just now, is he still at Hogwarts and hasn't returned?"
"I don't know either..."
"He's not coming back." Draco Malfoy said, "I heard some news on my way to the Hospital Wing."
"What news?"
"Fenrir Greyback and other Death Eaters who caused trouble in the castle have all been captured."
"So, is he also locked up in the Ministry of Magic right now?" Oren squinted and asked, "Do we need to rescue him? Attacking the Ministry of Magic sounds nice, if you're going, remember to count me in."
Lucius looked at him in surprise, seemingly not expecting a warm-hearted person in the cold, ruthless Death Eater lair, actually wanting to rescue from the Ministry of Magic.
This doesn't match the persona he previously displayed.
But perhaps there's no need.
Since earlier the Dark Lord didn't mention it, it proves he has already abandoned Greyback the werewolf.
The Death Eaters just attacked Hogwarts, and now is the tensest time for the Ministry of Magic and the Order of Phoenix, and they've suffered significant losses themselves. At this time, storming the Ministry of Magic for a werewolf is really not worth it.
Even if Greyback is the werewolf leader, it's the same.
"I think it shouldn't be needed."
Before Lucius could say anything, Draco continued, "Professor Snape told me, Hogwarts doesn't plan to hand Greyback over to the Ministry of Magic, but rather to the families of the children he bit."
Speaking of Snape, Malfoy became much more melancholy. He couldn't help but think, if only he had accepted Snape's help back in school.
"I guess he's already been taken away, and no one knows where he is now."
Malfoy said quietly, lost in regret, but he hadn't noticed the slight change in Oren's expression.
"You mean, we'll never see Greyback again afterward?" he asked softly.
"I think so." Lucius said beside him, "He bit so many people, staying alive till now relied purely on not being caught..."
Before he could finish, Oren suddenly stood up, left the room without a word of greeting or looking back.
Now, only Malfoy father and son were left in the room, staring at each other, clueless about what had happened.
"What happened to him? Did I say something wrong?" Draco Malfoy asked nervously.
Lucius thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, at least that's how I see it."
He was more certain now that this Oren was somewhat abnormal.
