demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 140 Preparation

After half an hour of intense but friendly discussion on how to deal with Bella and Barty Crouch Jr., the Black brothers finally came to a unanimous conclusion.

Stay alert and adapt to circumstances.

You know, if a wizard wants to hide and not be found by others, there are many ways.Voldemort, in particular, was very good at this.

Regulus was sure that Voldemort must be dissatisfied with Bella's rash appearance to attack Sirius this time, because it might miss his important event.

In fact, Voldemort did think so.

Last night when Regulus felt the sting of the Dark Mark, Bella was receiving punishment from her master.

At the end, Regulus suddenly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, do you think we can sneak into Gringotts?"

Hearing this question, Sirius was so surprised that his eyes widened.

"Are you short of money?"

Before Regulus had time to answer, Sirius said in an exaggerated tone, as if he had discovered something extraordinary: "I inherited all my money from Uncle Alphard, and you should inherit all of my mother's inheritance." That's right, that's money that ordinary people can't spend in ten lifetimes, and you actually lost it all in one year... It's unbelievable..."

A huge snowball fell from the sky and exploded on Sirius' head, interrupting his eccentric mood and turning his whole body white.

"Let's get down to business," Regulus said angrily.

"Well, I have a friend who is a curse-breaker at Gringotts, and he told me. Many protective measures are exclusive to goblins." Sirius shook off the snowflakes on his head and said seriously, "Only Gringotts Only goblins know how to crack it, but you can't let an elf help humans to 'steal' those financials. They regard the things in Gringotts as their own property."

"Understood." Regulus nodded stiffly.

It seems that infiltrating Bellatrix's vault in Gringotts is no longer realistic.

"Understand what?" Sirius suddenly showed a smile of unknown meaning, and saw several thorny vines suddenly appeared on Regulus' chair, binding to his limbs like several poisonous snakes.

Obviously, he must take revenge immediately for the sneak attack by Regulus with a snowball.

But his smile soon froze on his face, because Regulus had disappeared from the chair. In the next moment, he had crossed a few meters away and was standing next to Sirius, with an extra handle in his hand. The dagger, pointed at his throat.

"Is this agility from a Seeker?" Sirius said, the dagger at his throat, but he didn't panic at all.

"Not exactly," Regulus replied, "Just some new tricks."

"Let you see my little trick..." Sirius suddenly revealed his white teeth, which suddenly became longer and sharper, like some kind of canine.

Then he bit Regulus' wrist suddenly.

"What the hell?" Regulus withdrew his hand and avoided Sirius' bite, "You really turned into a dog."

"It's not over yet!" Sirius' left arm muscles swelled and turned into the black dog's front legs, then he raised his claws and scratched Regulus' right face.

Regulus took two steps back to avoid the sharp claws, and then green flames appeared on the ground, quickly forming a wall of fire that appeared between the two people and separated them.

"If there are any good things left, show them to me!" Regulus also became interested. For so many years, he had not had a formal duel with Sirius.

It was just a pity for Kreacher. He had just finished breakfast when he saw the two masters fighting in the living room, which was extremely lively.

The old house elf had no choice but to put his head in a stew pot and pretend that he couldn't see all this.

At this time, Sirius's head had turned into a dog's head, but he could still taunt Regulus in English.

His torso still looks like a human, but his legs and left hand have changed into the form of a beast. In this way, his agility and strength have been greatly improved.

The most important thing is that he still holds the wand in his right hand, and occasionally casts spells on Regulus.

If any master of transfiguration had been present, his jaw would have dropped.

Prior to this, no Animagus had been able to partially transform while maintaining the ability to cast magic.

According to people's common understanding, after the Animagus transforms, it can only act in the form of ordinary animals, including ways of thinking, action patterns and even language.

The current Sirius has subverted all past experiences in the wizarding world.

The potted plants, wooden furniture and carpets in the house have all become Sirius's helpers, and the originally fragile and delicate flowers and leaves have turned into sharp blades; and those tables, chairs and benches, under the control of Sirius' superb transfiguration, Transformed into wooden men of different heights, they pursued Regulus from all directions.

The carpet looked normal, but as soon as Regulus' feet stepped on it, it was like stepping into quicksand. The whole body sank, and then hardened again, locking Regulus' feet inside.

"I caught you." Sirius jumped in front of Regulus and grinned with his teeth bared.

Then he let out a beast-like roar, completely transformed into a big black dog, jumped up, opened his bloody mouth, and bit Regulus' throat.

"It seems that you have read my pamphlet carefully." Regulus remained calm, with a smile similar to Sirius's on his face.

Then, the skin of his hands turned purple, and some spikes pierced his sleeves and stretched out. His strong hands grabbed Sirius's throat just like when he grabbed the big snake Nagini before.

Sirius immediately released his transformation, and a series of poisonous curses came out of his mouth.Even in an emergency situation, he still believed in his ability as a wizard.

Regulus was hit and his fingers loosened.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided the subsequent spells, leaving several scorched marks on the tapestry on the wall.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a cold wind on the back of his neck, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.

A white shadow flew over the top of his head, taking away a few hairs.

Antalis landed next to Sirius.

At this time, she was no longer the cute kitten she usually was. She had swelled to the size of a lynx and was showing off her teeth and claws menacingly. The pupils in her heterochromatic eyes were narrowed into a single line.

"Good girl." Sirius chuckled and rubbed the cat's head.

"We'd better stop here, otherwise Phineas will jump out of his portrait and tear us apart." Regulus pulled his feet out of the floor, shook his wrists, and used those claw-like hands to Also restored to its original state.

The two smiled at each other, waved their wands, and began to repair the living room.

It has to be said that magic is quite convenient for repairing damage on the physical level.Soon, the messy living room became as clean and tidy as before.

Antalis meowed several times dissatisfiedly, but her voice did not change due to her increase in size.

From the look on her face, it seemed that she was disappointed that she was not able to show off her skills.

"While practicing the spell you gave me, I accidentally discovered that she can cooperate with me in attacking during battle, and my magic power can also be temporarily lent to her." Sirius said proudly, "Isn't it very powerful? But our cooperation is not yet proficient, otherwise you would not be able to escape today."

Antalis shrunk in size, jumped into Sirius's arms again, and received a head massage.

Kreacher finally came out of the stew pot where he was hiding and served breakfast to the two unreliable hosts. He didn't realize that everything today was just the beginning of his long nightmare.

Over the next week, the living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place became a dueling ground between Regulus and Sirius. In addition to the various spells used in wizard duels, they often used all kinds of unimaginable magic. "Transformation" is used to fight, which is very similar to Merlin Ambrosius's battle with Mrs. Mim.

This kind of duel practice finally came to an end after Sirius accidentally woke up Walburga's portrait one day.

Volburga used a hysterical tone and scolded her two uneasy sons. Even Regulus, who had always been her favorite, could not calm her anger.

In the end, Regulus had to use a calming spell on the portrait to make Walburga fall asleep and quiet the whole room.

As for Sirius, he had already hid in his bedroom, closed the door, cast a triple soundproofing spell, and acted like an ostrich.

With no way to find Voldemort, they could only try to improve their strength in this way.

During this period, Lupine came over occasionally.

His complexion is much stronger than a year ago, and although the clothes on his body still look very simple, they are no longer as tattered and patched as before.

His hair is still gray, and the scars on his face are still obvious, because the scars caused by the werewolf can never be eliminated.

But his face was no longer haggard.

Being a liaison in a werewolf community is not an easy task.

Although not all werewolves are as vicious as Fenrir Greyback, and their mission is to bite and infect more people, but as a marginalized group, their mentality will definitely undergo some very bad changes.

Many people give up on themselves, exile themselves, and no longer hold themselves to the same moral standards as in the past, thus gradually falling into the abyss of darkness, and ultimately doomed.

Lupine believed that these people needed saving and help.

So he spared no effort to contact them, trying to make them identify with his new identity, thereby changing their already negative attitude towards life.

Unfortunately, such efforts are often in vain. The vast majority of werewolves will not agree with his ideas, and sometimes they will even mock him in turn: "You try so hard to pretend that you are a normal person, and there are What's the point? After all, you are an alien and dangerous person in the eyes of humans. You are not qualified to live a normal life, and your children will also be werewolves, hybrids, and beasts."

On the surface, Lupine ignored these words and chose to laugh them off.

But deep down in his heart, he actually agrees with these views. His more than 30 years of life experience have proven it countless times. Although these views sound cold and ruthless, they are indeed correct.

This is why he values ​​the friendship between the Marauders so much.He had long accepted the fact that he could not be accepted by most people, and was fully mentally prepared that he would never get married or have children.

Therefore, hard-won friends are his most precious treasure.

He had imagined countless times how his friends would react if they knew his true identity as a werewolf. Would they alienate him?Or should he simply report it to the school and stay away from this dangerous beast?

What Lupine, who lacked self-confidence, didn't expect was that their relationship was still the same as before, or even closer.

Until that miserable Halloween.

From Lupine's perspective, two of the four Marauders died, one rebelled and was imprisoned. Overnight, the once-strong friendship turned into a dream gone by.

Every month after that, Lupine's transformation returned to his original painful appearance.

His mother also passed away not long after that. Although his father, Lyle Lupine, was happy to see his son, Lupine always refused to see his son in order not to disturb his father's peaceful retirement life too much, citing his busy work schedule. An invitation from his father to stay at home for a while.

As time went by, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who did not sacrifice have established their own families one after another. Even the son of his best friend James Potter has grown into a healthy and lively boy.

He knew that Harry lived on Privet Drive, but he never bothered him, and didn't even dare to take a look from a distance.

Because he was afraid that after seeing Harry, he would think of James and the lawless years and wanton student days that the four Marauders had experienced together.

He couldn't bear the sadness anymore.

This chaotic life lasted until last year.

First, there was Sirius's younger brother. Regulus suddenly appeared, found him, and told him the possible true identity of the traitor. It turned out that Peter, who was thought to be dead, was the real traitor, and Sirius, who was regarded as the traitor, was the real traitor. Innocent.

Although the truth is still cruel, it at least means that he can welcome back one of his best friends and is no longer alone.

Then came the invention of Wolfsbane Potion.

What Lupine fears most is killing people when he transforms and loses his mind.

The appearance of wolfsbane potion allows him to turn into an ordinary, rational and sleepy wolf when he transforms. He can control his actions and find a safe place to hide. Spend the scary time of transformation.

He didn't know what kind of conditions Regulus gave Damocles Belby, allowing him to become a so-called tester and take the expensive wolfsbane potion for free once a month.

He only knows that he will use all his strength to repay those who have provided him with kindness.
