demon hunter at hogwarts

"Harry Potter, my dear boy." Florin saw Harry, "Would you like to try my chocolate nut sundae? The latest, hottest and best-selling product in the store... Don't like it? Then you can do whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if you choose…”

Florin said "Harry Potter", causing the customers in the cold drink shop to cast curious glances in Harry's direction, trying to find something special about him.

In the end, most of the focus of those eyes fell on Harry's forehead, where the lightning-shaped scar was carved.

There were murmurs in the room.

Harry seemed a little uncomfortable. No matter where he went this morning, as long as someone called his name, his location would immediately become the center of all eyes.

He had watched several football games with Sirius before, but he had already gotten into the box before he was recognized by anyone. He had never experienced this feeling of being invisible in front of everyone.

"He has to get used to his reputation." Sirius had already sat in Florin's seat. "Although I don't know whether this is good or bad. But I can't really turn into a dog and sneak into their dormitory. Bar."

"I'm sure he doesn't want this reputation, but it's a pity that he has no choice." Regulus reluctantly pulled back his wandering thoughts, "In this regard, you have protected him enough in recent months. alright."

"Harry Potter, nice to meet you." The girl with the messy brown hair walked up to Harry, stretched out a hand and introduced herself, "I am Hermione Granger. They are my parents, did you come alone? Because it is said..."

Perhaps realizing that this was a bit rude, Hermione swallowed back the second half of the sentence.

"Actually... I came here with my godfather..." Harry pointed in the direction of Sirius, "Look, he's sitting there..."

Sirius smiled brightly and stretched out his arms to wave exaggeratedly.

"Oh! I've heard of him," Hermione said. "Sirius Black, the wanted murderer, right?"

Hermione's voice wasn't quiet, and the soda fountain wasn't too loud.

Almost everyone in the store heard this, and Sirius' arms froze in mid-air.

Harry couldn't help but laugh, remembering what he said when he first met Sirius.

"To hell with Barty Crouch and Cornelius Fudge, it seems that my title cannot be washed away." Sirius brushed aside the long hair that fell to his eyes and muttered somewhat depressedly, " However, considering that I really wanted to kill Peter, that bastard, it’s not too unfair to say so.”

"Actually, he's innocent." Harry explained, "But having a murderer godfather... seems pretty cool."

"Oh, of course! Otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit here and drink cold drinks." Hermione's thoughts changed so quickly that Harry couldn't keep up. "Do you know which house you will be assigned to after enrolling? It is said that Gryffindor is the best, because Dumbledore used to study in that house. You should know Dumbledore... But I think Ravenclaw is not too bad..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the cold drink shop varied.

Sirius proudly wielded an invisible sword as if fighting a bull.

"Did you hear that? Even a little girl who hasn't gone to school knows that we, Gryffindor, are the best."

Regulus decided not to comment on this and just lowered his head to concentrate on his ice cream.

"I haven't thought about it yet...my parents, they're both Gryffindors." Harry reluctantly replied, "I might go there too...Padfoot, I mean, mine The godfather never told me what the sorting was about..."

"I suppose so," Hermione said. "After all, you stopped He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

"Voldemort?" Harry asked subconsciously.

"Sure enough, you are the only one who dares to call the mysterious person by his name." Hermione showed a look of control on her face, "Anyway, let's see you at Hogwarts."

She bought an ice cream and left the cold drink shop with her parents.

"This is the third day in a row that they have come to Diagon Alley." After the Granger family disappeared outside the door, Florin said to Harry, "...they always come to buy a lot. Books. It can be seen that her parents are both Muggles, but it only took her a few days to figure out many things in the wizarding world. She even knows more than those children who grew up in the wizarding world and is very smart. child."

After hearing Florin's words, a strange idea suddenly came to Harry's mind.

If Sirius hadn't picked him up from No. [-] Privet Drive, it was probably Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia who were leading him to Diagon Alley now.

Trying to imagine the scene where the germaphobic Dursleys walked through the dirty and messy Leaky Cauldron and arrived here, Harry felt uncomfortable and goosebumps crawled all over his body.

Pushing this thought out of his mind, Harry hastily selected two portions of ice cream and carried them to the table where Sirius and the two were sitting.

"It seems that you don't know how to communicate with girls." Sirius rubbed Harry's head, ruffled his hair even more, and comforted, "There's no need to be nervous, this is a very simple matter. Things. For example, when I was in school, if I needed to attend a dance, I would always invite others directly, and they would immediately agree to your invitation. I have never failed to use this method. But James is not very good at this aspect. It took seven years of trying to finally ask your mother out to hang out.”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Regulus said with a frown, "Harry is still a child... Could it be that you haven't sobered up after you were drunk last night?"

"He is already 11 years old." Sirius said, pretending to be profound, "Think about our dear Uncle Signus..."

Thinking of Bellatrix's father, who was only 13 years older than her, Regulus stopped talking.

"...Today's 11-year-old children know far more than we imagined." Seeing that he had gained a stage advantage in the discussion, Sirius continued to pursue his victory and said, "I dare to use Phineas's portrait with you Bet, within three weeks of school starting, Harry will receive a love letter. You don't know the look in Arthur's daughter's eyes when she looks at Harry... I have to teach Harry how to protect himself."

Harry sat aside and could only keep filling his mouth with Florin's special chocolate nut sundae ice cream, trying to cool down his feverish face.

"In short, you have to learn to distinguish those who are trying to get close to you because they are greedy for your fame..." Sirius said to Harry seriously, "At this point, I can only help you so much..."

Harry seemed eager to find another topic to interrupt this extremely embarrassing discussion. He accidentally got his throat stuck on the nuts in the ice cream and coughed violently.

After he calmed down, he asked his question.

"Why, when everyone mentions Voldemort, don't they dare to call him by his first name?"

Valley</span> "Maybe it's because others are afraid to mention this name." Sirius said in a volume that only the people at their table could hear, "After all, Voldemort killed many people at that time, and everyone lived In fear and panic, I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow, and that name usually represents death."

"This is just one of the reasons." Regulus took over and explained, "That name is under a spell. As long as someone says that word, the Dark Lord will know... and anyone who dares to call him by his name will know it." , usually an opponent of the Dark Lord."

"It's a clever method." Sirius commented, "It can be considered a success in taking advantage of people's mentality."

Several people quickly wiped out the ice cream in front of them and left the Florin Cold Drink Shop.

When Harry and Sirius interrupted him, Regulus originally wanted to ask about Florin, but he didn't have time to speak.

We can only find time to talk in detail. Fortunately, during the summer vacation, the cold drink shop is at its best, so there is no need to worry about finding Florin.

"Did you see that? That's old Augusta and his grandson." As soon as he walked out of the cold drink shop, Sirius pointed at an old witch not far away with a moth-eaten vulture on her head, and introduced it to Harry. .

The old witch was scolding her grandson, a boy with a round face. Her voice was loud and stern, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of nearby pedestrians.

The general idea is that the boy forgot to bring his book list, which caused their trip to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to be in vain.

"Augusta?" Regulus couldn't help but look over there. The name was a bit unfamiliar.

Seeing Regulus's confused expression, Sirius said another name: "Frank Longbottom."

Now, Regulus knew who the old lady and boy were.

Even though it happened after he sank to the bottom of the lake, what Bella and his group did was so insane that he had already learned about it through various channels.

"Your book list." Regulus suddenly said to Harry.

Harry immediately took out the Hogwarts item list from his pocket and opened it carefully.

"Copy in pairs!"

The list became two, and Harry immediately knew what he had to do.

When Harry handed over the list, the round-faced boy was a little embarrassed.

"Neville, you don't need to refuse help from others, it's not shameful." The old witch said simply, "Of course, when others need your help, you should be like this child and extend your hand in time. "

The boy named Neville nodded, took the list from Harry, and whispered, "Thank you."

"His parents were once excellent Aurors, and we were...comrades in arms." Sirius looked at Neville walking back to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore with his grandmother, and sighed, "It's a pity...he is only one day older than you. "

After lamenting the experience of the Longbottom family, several people came to the window of the Quidditch boutique.

"...Nimbus Company's latest product, a favorite on the field that combines safety, controllability and competitiveness. With it, you will become the well-deserved focus of the Quidditch field! Nimbus 2000, brand new on the market!" Used by the salesperson The spell amplified his voice and introduced the broomstick that was displayed in the most eye-catching position in the window.

Excited witches and wizards crowded in front of the display window to get the best position to view the latest broomstick.

"Professor Black!" A female voice with a Scottish accent suddenly sounded.

Regulus turned around and saw a dark-haired girl testing her new broomstick in the specialty store, with two people next to her who were obviously her parents.

"Good morning, Miss Zhang." Regulus said with a smile, "Ready to run for the Quidditch team, right?"

"Yes, I want to be a seeker!" Qiu Zhang said with a bright smile, "I heard that you were also a seeker before?"

"That's right... He was the second best Seeker in the school back then... He was the best at certain times, such as when James decided to be the Chaser." Sirius pulled Harry and ran out of nowhere. came out, "This broom of yours is... Comet 260?"

"Yes, Comet Company's latest product is not as fast as the Light Wheel, but its controllability is very good..." Qiu Zhang clutched the broom in her hand and glanced at the three of them in turn, "We will work well together! You guys Are you here to buy a broom too?"

"I...I..." Harry looked into Qiu Zhang's dark eyes and suddenly became speechless.

"Harry can't bring brooms into school yet, we're just here for the fun of it." Regulus joked, and Harry blushed.

"Professor Black, why did you resign? Marietta and I both enjoyed your class." Qiu Zhang asked with some regret.

"Some... um, personal reasons." Regulus didn't want to explain more. "The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is an excellent wizard. You will like his class. And when he was in school, he also studied at Ravenclaw House..."

After chatting for a while, Qiu Zhang and her parents went to the counter to pay for the Comet 260, while Sirius was pointing at the broom in the window and giving Harry some knowledge.

"... To be honest, the Comet series is relatively the worst among the three major manufacturers. Only the maneuverability can be mentioned. As for the Sweep series, their acceleration is faster than the Comet series, but their stability is slightly insufficient. If you race in bad weather, there is a risk of losing control, but skilled riders usually don't worry about this... As for the Nimbus Company, since they were founded in 1967, they have always been at the top of the sales list... I'll give you one How about giving Nimbus 2000 as a birthday gift?"

"Please wake up, Harry can't bring a broom into school." Regulus said seriously.

"But he can come back and play during the holidays." Sirius refused to give in.

Regulus was about to say something when he heard another familiar voice.

"Everything else is fine, except this, Draco. I still remember the first time the Warrington kids played, they almost broke their own necks."

"That's because he's too stupid." Another boy's voice sounded, with deep disdain, "Do you still remember how I escaped that Muggle helicopter that time?"
