demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 141 Reputation

On this day, Lupine came to No. 12 Grimmauld Place after a long journey. Different from the past, this time, he seemed worried.

Regulus was not at home.

"What's the matter, Moony Face?" As a close friend, Sirius could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Lupine's mood. "If I calculated the date correctly, there are still two weeks until the full moon. You should be in the best condition." when."

"It has nothing to do with the full moon." Lupine sat on the chair where Regulus usually sat and put his worn handbag at his feet. "It is said that Azkaban has not been peaceful recently. Two things happened. There was an incident of dementors attacking prisoners.”

Upon hearing the words Azkaban and Dementor, Sirius' face immediately darkened.

"Although it hurts to say it, you may have some say in this matter." Lupine said, "Any ideas?"

"I have been in Azkaban for so many years, and this kind of thing has never happened." Sirius said coldly, "Although those dementors sucked away the happy emotions in the entire castle, at least they still obeyed The agreement signed with the Ministry of Magic will not directly attack prisoners without orders... They should have reached some kind of evil agreement with the Ministry of Magic."

"I always think it is a bad idea to use dementors as prison guards. They do not understand human moral principles." Lupine said, "If Voldemort can provide them with better conditions, they will betray them immediately. When the time comes, , those people in Azkaban will return to Voldemort's command."

"So you think this means that the dementors are testing? You want to see the Ministry of Magic's reaction to their behavior? Or is there someone behind it?" Sirius asked.

"I came to you just to hear your opinion. No matter what, we have to make preparations early." Lu Ping said, "Maybe it's time to reorganize the Order of the Phoenix... Speaking of which, what I did last year is nothing. It's no different from when we were in the Order of the Phoenix, except... we need to get some new blood. Your cousin's daughter, a girl named Tonks, has always wanted to join after Mad-Eye let it slip one time. us."

"She is too young, no. What we have to deal with now is the most dangerous dark wizard in history. Before we die, it is not the child's turn to charge into the battle." Sirius flatly refused, "Moony Face, this is not you. The way you do things..."

"Don't say these unlucky words." Lu Ping said, "I just saw from her what we were back then. When we just graduated from school, we didn't understand anything, only a sense of enthusiasm."

His tone was full of nostalgia.

"It's a pity that enthusiasm alone is not enough." Sirius shook his head, "We have all suffered a big loss in this and paid too much price. Rael is better at this than me. He is proficient in all kinds of things. This kind of conspiracy is hidden deeper than anyone else, even Voldemort didn't see his true face..."

"You'd better not let him hear this comment." Lu Ping couldn't help laughing.

"I was praising him, and he would be very happy to hear it." Sirius said angrily, "Even I was deceived by him. I always thought that he was stupid, weak, and followed the trend of pure-blood prejudices. It's a guy, it's best not to let him hear these comments... If he were here now, he would definitely be able to analyze some clues, rather than the two of us guessing here... By the way, where did you get this news? ?”

"Kingsley told me that he is a good person in intelligence. Fudge still doesn't know who Kingsley is. He thought he was his confidant and was going to work hard to cultivate him." Lu Pingban It was funny, but he said half helplessly, "Although Amelia is the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, what Fudge is most wary of is Rufus Scrimgeour. He feels that placing a few informants in the Auror team might It's more advantageous. Kingsley has never shown any inclination in the ministry, so he became the first target of Fudge's wooing. Fudge also wooed Delis, but that guy is not very smart..."

"Hmph, if these politicians and bureaucrats had spent half their intrigue and energy on finding Voldemort, we would have killed him long ago." Sirius said angrily, "Looking at it now, they are even more disgusting than Voldemort. .”

"There is no way around this. You should know that after enjoying the convenience brought by rights, it is difficult for most people to forget this feeling." Lu Ping said as he took out a bag from his handbag. This magazine was thrown to Sirius, "I think that in the eyes of Cornelius Fudge, Voldemort is just a fallen murderer whose life or death is uncertain, but Dumbledore is his greater threat. He will never have Dumbledore's power and prestige, and his wisdom will be far behind."

"If Dumbledore wanted to be the Minister of Magic, he would have been the Minister of Magic a long time ago." Sirius said irritably. "Dumbledore is still the Headmaster now. Hasn't it already explained a lot of problems... What is this?"

"Read it." Lupine tilted his head, showing a naughty expression.

For a moment, Sirius thought he saw the Remus Lupin who was always gentle to others in school more than ten years ago, but who was not afraid of playing some harmless pranks.

"...According to gossip, in order to consolidate his position, the current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, secretly raised a group of Black Leopards as his secret army... Black Leopards are the name of the fire elves. They are They are huge creatures that are full of fire. They move as fast as lightning and can burn all the places they pass by into a piece of scorched earth..." Sirius' face became more and more weird, and finally he couldn't read anymore. He passed the magazine and looked at the cover, "Naysayer? What the hell is this?"

"I just saw this magazine recently... Let me look for it and I cut out a page..." Lu Ping suppressed his smile and took out another page that looked like it was torn from the magazine. With a snap of his fingers, the page folded itself into a paper airplane and flew in front of Sirius.

"Does this have to be unnecessary?" Sirius reluctantly opened the paper airplane. The first thing that caught his eye was a very abstract cartoon, probably a man in prison uniform with messy hair and beard standing on a pile. On top of the bones, there was a wand in his hand.

On it was a headline: Sirius Black: Villain or Victim?

The comic's annotation is: Blake, is it as dark as the painting?

Sirius felt something was wrong, but he still read on:

"A notorious murderer, or an innocent singing superstar?"

“For ten years, Sirius Black has been remembered as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s most capable man, possibly even the second-in-command in that terrible organization. He successfully escaped from Azkaban. The fact of escaping also proves that he does have extraordinary abilities, because no one has done this before..." After reading this, Sirius shook his head and sighed, "In fact, someone has done it long ago. This happened, but I didn’t know it at the time.”

"What?" Lupine asked.

"I'll tell you in detail slowly... Who wrote this report? I have to go and meet him..." Sirius continued to read the pages in his hand, the expressions on his face constantly changing, extremely exciting, "People don't realize The thing is, the name Sirius Black is most likely just a nickname. The so-called murderous devil who killed twelve innocent Muggles and a wizard did not actually exist at all, just because the Ministry of Magic needed it To stabilize people's hearts, they will put an innocent person in jail to show their efficiency."

"I think this statement makes sense." Lu Ping said seriously, "I thought your name was a nickname at first."

"Our whole family is named after stars. It is said to show the noble bloodline... Strictly speaking, my name should be Sirius Black III..." Sirius said, "Let me see what else he wrote... The Ministry of Magic believed that Black should be recaptured and thrown back into the hands of the Dementors, and none of us questioned this. However, is this really the case? Shocking new evidence has recently emerged that Sirius ·Black may not have committed the crimes that led to him being sent to Azkaban to waste ten years... Oh? Someone actually defended me?"

Lupine didn't say anything, just smiled his usual smile.

"...Mrs. Doris Purkiss, who lived at No. 18 Thornleaf Road, Little Norton, said that at that time, Sirius Black was not at the murder scene at all, but was having a romantic affair with her. We were dating and enjoying a candlelight dinner..." Sirius read this and finally couldn't hold back his anger, "What nonsense? I don't even know this Doris Purkiss! She can't even think of tarnishing my life. reputation!"

Gu</span> "But she really wanted to help you clear your name." Lu Ping said seriously, "And the facts have proven that you are indeed innocent, right? When I saw this report, your wanted Ling is still everywhere. You are not grateful to someone who dares to say such things. How sad she would be if she knew..."

"She's dating this fat guy Boardman!" Sirius crumpled up the newspaper clippings and threw them into the trash can. "The band Naughty Goblin is not popular at all. He just wants to use this incident to improve himself." Just to warm myself up..."

The conversation finally became lighter.

Meanwhile, Hogwarts Castle.

Regulus was invited to return to the school and once again entered the venue through the main entrance.

When I walked near the Quidditch pitch, I saw Mrs. Hooch, the school's flying teacher and Quidditch referee, supporting a little wizard as she hurried into the castle.

"How is this going?"

"Mr. Longbottom had an accident while flying and broke his wrist." Mrs. Hooch replied, "I want to send him to the school doctor's office."

The little wizard was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his round face, but he still held back his tears and did not let himself cry.

"If you don't mind, how about I help you cure it?" Regulus remembered who the young wizard was, Neville Longbottom whom he had met in Diagon Alley, the son of Auror Frank Longbottom.

Neville looked a little scared and didn't answer.

"Professor Black's magic power is very good. He can help you heal your arm." Mrs. Huo Qi comforted.

Neville nodded and nervously closed his eyes.

So, Regulus took out his wand, pointed at Neville's fractured area and said: "Repair arm!"

There was a flash of blue light, and Neville opened his eyes and looked at his wrist.

"Get some exercise," Regulus said softly.

Neville tried to turn his wrist and found that it moved normally, just like before he was injured.

"The effect is good, right?" Regulus said half-truthfully, "In fact, this is the first time I have used this spell. I don't know what terrible consequences will happen. Someone once used this spell to kill others. The bones in the body were pulled out, I have seen..."

Neville's face, which had just regained its color, turned pale again, and he was speechless.

"Professor Black, please stop scaring the children..." Mrs. Hoqi had just finished speaking when she noticed that Regulus's face also became uncomfortable.

She turned sharply, knowing immediately what Regulus and Neville had seen.

The students who were taking flying lessons were ordered by her to stay on the court and not move. She even threatened those children with expulsion.

Such threats are often effective.

But there are always exceptions.

At this time, two little wizards were riding the school's old broomsticks and started a fierce chase over the field.

The boy with black hair suddenly accelerated and sprinted towards the boy with light blond hair. The momentum seemed to knock his opponent off the broom.

But the boy with light blond hair did a wonderful sloth roll, hung on the broom and spun around, avoiding the impact of the black-haired boy, and then turned over and landed firmly on the broom.

Mrs. Hooch was stunned. This was already a technical move in a Quidditch match, far beyond the scope of flying lessons.

Then, the blond-haired boy suddenly accelerated, and with the help of inertia, he threw something in the direction of the castle.

Beside him, the black-haired boy was leaning on the broom, rushing towards the castle like an arrow from the string. After diving a hundred feet, he reached out to catch the thrown thing, and then slowly landed.

Mrs. Hooch and Regulus had already run towards the Quidditch pitch, fearing that something might happen, leaving Neville alone, stunned.

In the middle of the field, the little wizards were divided into two groups. The group of black-haired boys cheered, while the small group of blond boys were unconvinced and making provocations. Seeing that a conflict was about to happen, the impatient ones started to pull out their wands. , aiming at the opponent and releasing those spells that he has not mastered yet, and some even simply hold up a broom and charge towards the opponent.

Seeing that the situation was about to become uncontrollable, Regulus had no choice but to pull out his wand, pointed it in the direction between the two groups of people and shouted: "All curses are over!"

An orange-yellow wall of light separated them, blocking those weak spells, and the little wizards fell silent instantly.
