demon hunter at hogwarts

Although Regulus was forced to use the second plan for this lunch, he felt it was simple and warm.

He even thought about lunch at the Lovegoods.

Let’s not mention the taste of the impressive freshwater fish soup.

The family atmosphere alone is undoubtedly comfortable and pleasant.

"I will take care of Nagini and restore her to health." Newt promised Regulus when bidding farewell. "As for the blood curse, I will do my best... In fact, this is something I have done for decades. It was something that should have been done years ago, but it was a pity that the situation at that time..."

Tina squeezed Newt's hand in comfort.

"I am the one who caused this trouble. How can I have the nerve to throw it all away to you?" Regulus said, "I will solve this matter after I finish the things at hand... I think, if we really can If you deal with the blood curse issue well, you might even be able to get a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin!"

"make a deal."

"make a deal."

"How are you going to get back to London? I don't have a portkey dealer here. As for the fireplace..." Newt said with some embarrassment, "A poison horn ran out a few days ago and damaged the house. I haven't There's still time to fix the fireplace, and I'm not sure the Floo network will still work."

"It doesn't matter, I can apparate back... I just need to apparate a few more times." Regulus didn't care.

"Professor Black!" Rolf suddenly made a suggestion excitedly, "You can ride our Zuowu back! Grandpa always said that he could ride the Zuowu and ride all over the UK in 10 minutes!"

"Oh?"

Regulus was really interested in this magical animal from the East that he had never seen in textbooks.

"Theoretically it is indeed possible..." Newt said, "But there are many objective factors that need to be taken into consideration... I have not tried how much time it will take. 10 minutes is just a rough range... Maybe we can test it..."

"Newt!" Tina gave him a fierce look.

"Oh, by the way...wait here." Newt turned around in a hurry and ran back to his "Rare and Magical Animal Care Center".

Two minutes later, the arrogant Zuowu appeared in the open space in front of the house, excitedly waving his colorful tail, which was several times longer than his body.

"It seems to like you very much." Newt stroked Zowu's mane and said to Regulus, "Come on, ride on its back, be careful not to pull off its mane."

Regulus turned over and sat on top of Zuo Wu.

Zuowu let out a roar, obviously he had been holding it in for a long time in the room, and he was very excited to have the opportunity to show off his skills.

"I want to ride too..." Rolf looked at Regulus enviously and murmured.

"If you hadn't been bitten by the soft-footed land shrimp, I originally planned to let you take Regulus home and then ride him back." Newt said to Rolf seriously, "But now, I'm afraid it's the only one that'll come back, and we'll have to go to Southampton to find you."

"I remember when you were bragging to your classmates at school, claiming that you rode a horse-shaped water monster around in Loch Ness when you were eight years old." Regulus stretched out his hand to rub Zuowu's head and said to Rolf, " Why, you haven’t ridden this before?”

"That's because Zuowu is not suitable for wizards who are still in school to ride... Its speed is much faster than the fastest broomstick." Newt explained, "It is difficult for wizards who are not old enough to ride on it... Stay calm at this speed..."

Hearing Newt say this, Regulus suddenly had a bad premonition, but at this moment, he was already riding on Zou Wu's back, and it was too late to regret it.

Following Newt's whistle, Zuowu let out a deafening roar, then stepped out on four slender and powerful legs, took a few steps, and jumped.

Regulus was surprised to find that the surrounding countryside turned into a green shadow as Zuowu accelerated, and then turned into a ball of light.

A ball of fiery red magic light bloomed on Zuowu's mane, like a small firework.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was riding the Knight Bus, and he had to travel a hundred miles with each jump.

After about 15 seconds, the streamer disappeared and the shadows gradually condensed.

Regulus was impressed by the surrounding scenery.

It's not far from London anymore, you can apparate directly to your doorstep.

Zuowu shook his head and was about to take a big step to run, but Regulus hurriedly stopped him.

"Listen, man... I really want you to walk me to the door, but considering that Muggles have never seen a cat your size... things might be a little troublesome, so let's say goodbye here..." Ray Gulus tried to calm his breathing, trying to finish his words coherently.

Zuowu looked a little depressed, so Regulus had no choice but to conjure up a cat teasing stick and follow the method taught by Newt to calm the big cat's mood again.

After Zuowu swung his long tail, jumped through the space and left the grassland, Regulus cast a calming spell on his head.

He could understand why Harry had such a big reaction after going for a ride on Sirius' motorcycle.

A few minutes later, Regulus finally pushed open the old door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and returned home.

Kreacher immediately greeted him at the door: "Master Regulus, please change your shoes. The bathroom has hot water ready, or Master Regulus wants to have a meal first? Kreacher can prepare it soon..."

"No, I just want to sleep now." Regulus said weakly.

Then, escorted by the eyes of Kreacher and Sirius, he returned to his room and locked the door with magic.

Regulus slept until almost noon the next day, when he was awakened by the sound of an owl tapping on the window.

He opened the window and took off the letter tied to the owl's feet.

It was from Lucius Malfoy.

After hurriedly reading the contents of the letter, Regulus sighed and put on a clean coat.

"Why, our busy man has just returned home and is going out again?" Sirius couldn't help but sarcastically said when he saw Regulus's dress.

"It's Lucius. He said he had something urgent to talk to me about, but after sending five letters, the owl couldn't find me." Regulus replied.

Valley</span> "If he is really sincere, he should come and visit." Sirius said disdainfully, "It's not like he doesn't know the address here."

"In fact, he does not know." Regulus said, "Don't forget, I am the secret keeper of this house, and there are certain things I will not say randomly."

"But why can the owl send letters to home?" Sirius suddenly asked, "He can definitely follow the owl."

"...Maybe the Red Loyalty Curse doesn't work on owls." Regulus was stunned for a while before replying, "This question is not within the scope of my research. You should ask Newt."

"Okay, but I have to remind you that no matter what Lucius Malfoy wants to talk to you about, you must come back tonight." Sirius put away his playful smile and said seriously.

"why?"

"Because today is Harry's birthday, I want to... try to be as lively as possible." Sirius said.

"it is good."

To Sirius's expectation, Regulus returned from Malfoy Manor in only about two hours.

At this time, guests had arrived at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Hagrid occupied the entire sofa by himself and was telling Harry a story. Next to him was Lupin, who had a faint smile on his face.

A red-haired middle-aged man was whispering to Sirius on the other side, and there were a lot of Muggle mechanical parts on the ground.

At the door of the kitchen, a red-haired boy slightly taller than Harry was looking curiously at Kreacher who was busy inside. Regulus recognized him as Ron, whom he had met at the Weasley Burrow.

"So soon?" Sirius was a little surprised to see Regulus coming back so early.

"There are also guests at Lucius's house. I felt it was not convenient to stay for a long time, so I came back." Regulus replied, "This must be Mr. Weasley, right?"

He turned to the red-haired middle-aged man.

The man stood up immediately, wiped off the oil on his hands, and stretched out his hand to Regulus: "I am Arthur Weasley, good afternoon, Professor Black."

"Professor and so on are all in the past tense." Regulus smiled lightly, shook Arthur's hand and said, "Now I am just an unemployed vagrant."

"That's such a pity." Arthur said with some regret, "Charlie said that you were the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher he had met in his seven years of school. He said that you gave him a lot of help...even us Those two troublemakers at home... Fred and George, they are all submissive when it comes to you. And Ron... If you hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with that mouse, I wouldn't have known..."

When Arthur said this, he suddenly noticed that Sirius' face next to him was a bit ugly, and he hurriedly stopped talking.

"Tell me something else." Regulus changed the subject, "Mr. Weasley, you work in the Ministry of Magic, and you should have heard about the restart of the Triwizard Tournament."

"Honestly, I don't know much." Arthur said with some embarrassment. "This kind of game is different from the Quidditch World Cup. It is held in a school and there is no need to prevent Muggles from discovering it. The main person responsible is still Department of International Cooperation and Department of Physical Education and Sports.”

"Yes, that's exactly the problem." Regulus said, "We all know the ability of Bertha Jorkins. The director of the Sports Department is Ludo Bagman."

Upon hearing Bagman's name, Sirius sneered from his nostrils: "If the two of them can succeed, they will really meet Merlin."

"This is what Lucius came to talk to me about today. The restart of the Triwizard Tournament is at a deadlock. On the one hand, it is the Ministry of Magic's inability to do things well, and on the other hand..." Regulus organized his words and said, "... …You should know who the principal of Durmstrang is, right?”

"Igor Karkaroff." Arthur glanced at Ron and found that his youngest son had begun to study the murals on the wall intently, then whispered, "We are all surprised that he can do it so quickly To sit in this position, after all, he was almost thrown into Azkaban and imprisoned for life a few years ago."

"He betrayed many of his colleagues before he got into this position." Sirius said contemptuously, "Lukewood must hate him to death. I heard that he hid it very deeply. Crouch listened to Karkaroff After receiving the intelligence, Rookwood was caught.”

"Forget about Rookwood...Lucius said that this time Karkaroff didn't know what happened and suddenly went back on his word. He and Lucius were both involved in the original plan to restart the Triwizard Tournament." Lei Gu Les said, "Karkaroff suddenly began to boycott this competition. Originally, if Beauxbatons and Durmstrang both expressed their intention to participate, it would be two to one. He then put pressure on Dumbledore through the school directors. , can facilitate this matter... In this way, restarting this competition during his tenure as school director will be good for his resume..."

"Karkaroff has always been duplicitous. This is nothing." Sirius spat.

"But you can't deny his judgment of the situation. You should know..." Regulus hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone in this room is a member of the Order of the Phoenix. You can say what you want." Sirius saw Regulus's hesitation and said generously.

"It sounds like I'm a Death Eater here, so it's very dangerous..." Regulus said mockingly, "We know that the Dark Lord is planning to resurrect, and it's very possible that Karkaroff got some information... otherwise it wouldn't be possible. Explain his sudden change of attitude. According to Lucius, just half a month ago, Karkarov vowed that he would fully support the restart of the game."

"But Karkaroff is in Durmstrang. How can he be more informed than Malfoy?" Arthur was a little confused. "We know what Lucius Malfoy is capable of. The entire British Ministry of Magic may be His eyes and ears, if there are any clues, he should be the first to know."

"In short, it is a good thing that this competition cannot be restarted smoothly." Sirius concluded unexpectedly, "Nothing can happen to Harry. His first year must be spent peacefully."

"This is not what you said, Padfoot." Lupine walked up to a few people at some point, "A life without excitement is meaningless. This should be your motto."

"He is only 11 years old." Sirius said, "No matter how much he looks like James, he is still a child after all, and children should do what children should do."

At this time, another owl flew to the window.

Sirius was the closest and immediately ran over to open the window and took off the letter tied to the owl's feet.

He glanced at the words on the envelope and immediately shouted: "Harry!"

Harry was listening to Hagrid talk about how he kept spiders when he was at school, and Ron sat beside him with a pale face.

Hearing Sirius's cry, Harry immediately jumped up from his chair and ran to his godfather.

Sirius solemnly handed the envelope to Harry.

"Open it, this is yours."

It was a light yellow envelope with emerald green ink written on it:

London, No. 12 Grimmauld Place, collected by Mr. Harry Potter.

The mouth is sealed with fire paint and covered with a shield-shaped coat of arms.

Eagles, lions, snakes, and badgers surround a capital letter H.
