It's never over

Werewolves

I've read a lot of fanfics (mainly after the first wizarding war) were silver was used as a torture device against werewolves. Honestly never heard of that. So I checked the Harry Potter wiki, and it says that
Contrary to what the Muggle world believes, werewolves are not affected by silver, except in that it can be used to prevent death and merely closes their wounds to prevent bleeding in a severe werewolf attack.

And in the first year Draco say that there are werewolves in the forbidden forest
There are no human that are werewolves that we know of attending Hogwarts at that time, so they mist be all around werewolves

And here is what the wiki said:
If two werewolves mate at the full moon, in their animal forms, something very strange happens. The result of their mating, which has only ever occurred twice throughout history, has been a pack of wolf cubs - actual wolf cubs - who grow to become very beautiful wolves and can only be distinguished from true wolves by their near-human intelligence.

Thus, rumours of werewolves living in the Forbidden Forest in the grounds at Hogwarts Castle are actually about a pack of lupine werewolf offspring that was released into the woods with the kind permission of Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of the School, and has lived there ever since. Teachers have never tried to dispel these rumours because they felt that keeping students out of the forest was highly desirable.
