demon hunter at hogwarts

Regulus was already used to Dumbledore's behavior of making vague remarks from time to time.

When he was still in school, Dumbledore, as the principal, had a much more distant relationship with the students than the four major deans. In front of the students, Dumbledore showed in most cases that he was kind or kind. Aspects of majesty.

He looked like an ordinary, respected old wizard.

Therefore, in the past, Regulus' knowledge of this old man who stood at the top of the wizarding world was actually limited to rumors.

This year, due to Voldemort's Horcrux, he had many in-depth exchanges with Dumbledore, and he also saw many aspects that he had not noticed before.

"What do you think is the right thing to do?"

In the end, Regulus couldn't suppress his curiosity and blurted out.

"This question is too broad. Are you sure you don't want to ask it in another way?" Dumbledore smiled politely, but did not mean to avoid answering.

"You can give me an example. After all, according to the report of the last issue of the Daily Prophet, you have won the title of 'The Most Popular Principal in the History of Hogwarts' for several consecutive years," Regulus He also said half-jokingly, "It means you at least did a great job on this matter."

"In this way, serving as the principal of Hogwarts is probably one of the few things that I should and want to do." Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and his tone became more relaxed, "Training young wizards , let them grow up healthily and eventually become excellent male and female witches, which in turn will allow the entire wizarding world to develop better."

"Sounds great," Regulus muttered.

"It just sounds great." Dumbledore shook his head and denied, "This is everyone's contribution. I only did a trivial thing... Bella's matter, I will let people pay more attention to it, I With some eyes, they can detect many clues that ordinary people cannot notice."

"I've learned the lesson." Regulus rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand, "Mundungus Fletcher...right? There are some things that only he can do easily."

Of course, it also costs a lot of gold galleons.

Judging from Dumbledore's tone, it seemed that he still had something buried in his heart that he wanted to do but "shouldn't do". Regulus wisely did not pursue this private question.

After filling out the transcripts for all students except the fifth and seventh grade students, the semester finally came to an end.

Regulus' one-year career as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has officially come to an end.

Many teachers regard Hogwarts as their home, such as Professor McGonagall, Professor Trelawney and... Professor Binns. They choose to stay in the school during the holidays and wait for the arrival of the new school year.

Others, like Snape, for some reason, return every year to the narrow and dilapidated old house in Spider End Lane where they lived when they were children.

Before leaving school, Regulus cleaned his office clean, especially the various small notes that had been pinned to the wall.

Because the next owner of this office is coming soon.

The first week of the vacation passed quickly, and Regulus chose to completely adjust himself at home.

Moreover, it is very enjoyable to eat the food made by Kreacher every day.

After all, there are differences in the craftsmanship of house elves, and Kreacher happens to know all of Regulus's favorite flavors.

Lucius Malfoy once sent a letter to Regulus, politely asking if he was ready to serve in the Ministry of Magic, and hinted between the lines that if everything went well, he would be able to help Regulus in half a year. Sitting in the position of Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic.

To this, Regulus's reply was that he would use this holiday to travel throughout Europe, and then consider this issue again after returning.

In the living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Regulus tied the reply letter to the foot of the Malfoy owl and put it out the window.

"Are you really going to travel to Europe?" Sirius looked very surprised after hearing the news, "I thought you were just dealing with Lucius."

"Otherwise? Someone will take over next year's class, so I have to find something to do. It is said that Quirinus Quirrell has returned to his home and is recuperating. Dumbledore suggested that I visit him later. Let’s talk about the course progress and so on..." Regulus said, "His experience in Egypt was not very good, and he was very embarrassed by vampires, dominatrixes and resurrected zombies..."

"Is there really such a thing as a resurrected zombie? I thought it was a rumor, and I deliberately chose a scary name to dissuade people from exploring the pyramid." Sirius didn't care who Quirrell was, but he After hearing about the resurrected zombies, he immediately geared up and seemed eager to try it. "If I have the chance, I have to go and experience it."

"Why do you think Gringotts recruits a new batch of curse breakers every year?" Regulus raised his eyebrows.

"Really? That's great... I want to take Harry and Moony Face to Egypt to see..." Seeing Regulus's unkind expression, he hurriedly changed his words, "Of course, I must finish all the things in front of me. , Harry will also grow into an excellent wizard by then..."

"It's still like talk."

"By the way, do you think Bella will contact Narcissa?" Sirius wisely changed the subject.

"I don't think so. Maybe she still misses a little sisterly affection, but in comparison, nothing is more important than the safety of her master." Regulus pondered, "At least in Bella's mind, that's the case. of."

"That's right, it's impossible for Lucius not to know what Narcissa knows." Sirius said disdainfully, "For Bella, Malfoy's loyalty is as unforgettable as her master's nose."

Regulus was about to comment on the Sirius metaphor when he saw Harry in his pajamas walking into the living room.

"I heard you guys saying my name..." Harry said, "There's also Egypt or something. Are we going to Egypt? I've seen it in story books. There are mummies in the pyramids of Egypt. They will never decay. …”

"We will consider going to Egypt. But now Harry, enjoy your last bit of free time. In three months, you will officially go to school." Sirius said, "Go to Hogwarts, where The environment here is very different from here. I noticed that in terms of playfulness and naughtiness, you and James are on par. Unfortunately, after you go to school, you may not be able to find a good helper like me..."

"I've been to school before, don't make me sound like a kid who doesn't understand anything." Harry said unconvinced, "When Dudley and the others bullied me before, no one helped me, and I wasn't afraid either. they."

"Of course you are not afraid, I am just worried that you will suffer a loss." Sirius flicked Harry's forehead, "And those spells I taught you, remember to practice them frequently. If you want to duel with someone, don't think about it. Too many, just use the first spell that comes to mind in your mind, do you understand?"

"I understand." Harry said perfunctorily, "The way you speak is becoming more and more like Professor Black."

"Me?" Regulus subconsciously thought that Harry was talking about him.

"No, it's the one in the picture frame, Professor Black. He always said that children like to be self-righteous and cannot listen to the advice of adults." Harry pointed to the corridor, where portraits of the ancestors of the Black family were hung, among which There was one who was headmaster at Hogwarts.

"It turns out to be 'Old Professor Black'." Regulus suddenly realized, lowered his voice suddenly, and said furtively, "Although it is not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs, I still have to tell you, Phineas... Nigellus Black was once the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts."

"Has he done anything bad?" Harry rubbed his eyes, and for a moment he thought he saw Sirius in Regulus.

"That's not true. He is a very smart man and has high demands on everyone." Regulus returned to his normal self, "But sometimes, you can't ask everyone to be as smart as you. , everyone is good at different fields. For example, this guy, when he was learning the art of transformation, he didn’t even need to read the textbook..."

He pointed towards Sirius.

"And the biggest mistake Phineas made was to hope too much that teenage children could think like adults and think about problems like him." Sirius took over the words, stretched out his wand, and pointed at the ceiling. He waved in the direction, and the chandelier began to rotate rapidly, like an electric fan, "When I was 15 years old, in his words, I was... a bastard. There were some things that I really shouldn't be proud of, but I wasn't at that time. Realize that."

"You're fine, Padfoot..." Seeing his godfather's expression of frustration, Harry tried to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

"You are still too young, and you don't understand some things even if I tell you." Sirius pinched Harry's cheek lovingly, and then used Muggle card magic to take out three tickets from his fingers. , "In the final game of the Quidditch season, the Balikas Bats will face the Holy Skull Island Harpies. The winning team will be ranked No. 3 this season. It will definitely be a wonderful game. Just How about we help 'Little Professor Black' celebrate his safe departure from Hogwarts?"

"Sounds like my resignation from Hogwarts is something worth celebrating?" Regulus asked funnyly.

"Yes, at least you didn't leave an arm or anything like Kettleburn in this position." Sirius put the ticket back in his pocket and turned to Regulus, "Do you remember when you were in third grade? That Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"Is he the unlucky guy who had one of his hands blown off by the backfire of the spell when he was demonstrating the blasting spell? I forgot his name... Professor Slughorn seemed to have said at that time that there were a total of candidates for that year. Three, one is Dolohov, the other is a vampire... Dumbledore doesn't have much choice." Regulus sighed, "I still remember that one of them was because he accidentally took a love potion on Valentine's Day. He made a big mess and got fired."

"I have a little credit for the fact that he took the love potion." Sirius said with a bad smile, "That guy seems to be called Cattermole or something...forget it, it doesn't matter, what is his ability? None. The class he attended was even more boring than that of Professor Binns. He only talked about it with a broken book. James and I both felt that it would be very detrimental to the growth of students to have such a teacher continue to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. , even Moon Face didn’t oppose us.”

"So you decided to reveal his true identity?" Regulus narrowed his eyes.

"That's the truth! He doesn't even have the ability to identify whether pumpkin juice contains a love potion... but the scene of him chasing Filch's cat all over the castle is much more interesting than his crappy course." Sirius waved to Antalis who was lying on the shelf, "At least he taught us how many wrong ways to catch a cat."

Antalis jumped onto his shoulder obediently, raised her front paws towards Regulus, and flashed her sharp claws as a demonstration.

"Good guy, you have forgotten who bought you back, right?" Regulus stared at the white cat and said in a threatening tone.

"Meow!"

He had a feeling that Antalis's claws had become sharper and her movements were much more agile.

Moreover, there seemed to be a subtle connection between it and Sirius.

It seems that this unruly brother of his has not been idle during this period of squatting at home.

On the other side, Harry was still digesting what he had just heard.

From the words of Sirius and Regulus, Harry concluded that when they were in school, a teacher once had his hand blown off, and there were also teachers who took medicine given by their father and godfather. He was eventually expelled because he acted strangely towards a cat.

Is the school I'm about to go to so scary?

"Sirius?"

"what happened?"

"You just said that you gave the teacher a rice love potion. What is a rice love potion?" Harry asked with confusion on his face, his green eyes flashing.

"It's a love potion...well, it's a kind of magic potion. You should learn it when you are in fifth or sixth grade." Sirius said, "The love potion is the so-called love potion. Its specific effect is to make the person who takes the medicine Having a strong obsession with someone or...something..."

Harry's face turned red when he heard the words "love potion".

"So you added Madam Norris's hair to that medicine?" Regulus interrupted Sirius' explanation and asked.

"We originally planned to put Snotlout's hair in it, but James thought the professor might smell a bad smell of hair oil in the pumpkin juice and replace it with a new one." Sirius scratched his own Head said, "No one has tried cat hair before, so we just wanted to try it to see if it has any effect. The experiment was obviously successful, and the effect is great."
