demon hunter at hogwarts

After a brief exchange of greetings, people returned to the box and continued to watch the game.

Puddlemere United's timeout worked, and they fought hard to catch up and narrow the point difference to the point where they could rely on the Golden Snitch to turn defeat into victory.

This also resulted in the cheers from Tiberus McLaggen in the box becoming less and less, while the curses became louder and louder.

Even Dirk Cresway stopped talking and focused on the fierce confrontation between the fourteen players on the field.

The most thrilling scene occurred at the last moment of the game. The Puddlemere United Seeker, who was only [-] points behind, almost caught the golden snitch, but just one second before his fingertips touched the golden ball that was desperately escaping, A Bludger, hit hard by Gwenog Jones, struck him hard on the arm.

The Seeker of the Harpies, Gwen Parker, jumped directly from the broom, dodged the opponent's Seeker who lost control of his broom in mid-air, jumped to catch the Golden Snitch, and then used another one to catch the Golden Snitch. She grabbed the flying broom with her hand, and finally hung it with one hand dozens of meters above the ground, waving her fist holding the Golden Snitch at her supporters.

Tiberus McLagan jumped up from his chair excitedly, yelling randomly. If the box was not blocked by glass, it is difficult to say whether he would have gone directly to the stadium to celebrate.

Regulus also clenched his fist slightly.

Gwen Parker's leaping action just now was something he had used when he was in school. As a result, he failed to grab the broom when he fell and fell into the stands. Although he caught the Golden Snitch, he also suffered multiple fractures all over his body. price.

He has since given up on his dream of becoming a professional Quidditch player.

"God, I love this sport so much." Slughorn summed it up exaggeratedly in an aria-like tone, "Quidditch is indeed the best game in the world!"

People politely agreed with him, although judging from Slughorn's figure, he probably didn't exercise much when he was young.

Moreover, the reason why Quidditch is dominated by one player can only be attributed to the fact that there are too few entertainment options in the Wizarding World. Due to the existence of the "Secrecy Act", many previous competitions were worried that Muggles would make too much noise. It was discovered and had to be cancelled, such as the racing match that almost destroyed the Colosseum in Rome.

As for other projects, such as official dueling competitions, after the rise of Voldemort, they were also canceled by the Ministry of Magic due to too many accidental casualties.

Therefore, Filius Flitwick's title as the only duel champion in Hogwarts is expected to last for a long time.

After the game, Gwenog Jones, who was sweating profusely, went to Slughorn's box immediately without even changing his jersey, and received a hero's cheers.

"It's a pity that she is destined not to represent the British team in the next World Cup. She offended too many people..." After Jones left, Slughorn said regretfully, "Those people don't want someone to always defeat them. The batsman joined the team. Of course, this may not be a bad thing for her..."

After the game, Slughorn also arranged a luxurious banquet at a nearby hotel. Some people left for some reason, such as Ambrosio Froome, and another group of people filled their vacancies.

It has to be said that Slughorn is indeed unique in his ability to recognize people. The guests attending the dinner are basically celebrities from all walks of life.

Including the legendary Mrs. Zabini. After the mysterious death of her fourth husband, she became single again and became another focus of the party, second only to the recent popular figure Regu. Les.

Throughout the banquet, Regulus had to deal with repeated bombardments from the members of the Slug Club. Most of them were compliments without much nutrition, but there were also a few who came with a purpose.

For example, the previous best-selling author Elder Walple, or Bobin, the owner of a chain drugstore, found Regulus at a banquet and wanted to know if Regulus would be willing to endorse one of his snake venom potions. .

By the time Regulus, smelling of alcohol, returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, it was already approaching midnight.

"It looks like the club activities are very enjoyable?" Sirius sat next to the piano, playing a soothing and melancholy tune.

"I probably understand why my father doesn't like to attend such occasions and always asks my mother to step in." Regulus smiled bitterly and sat on the sofa next to him, taking a glass of orange juice from Kreacher. "It's really annoying."

After speaking, he took out a stack of signed photos of the Holy Skull Island Harpy players from his pocket, placed them on the table, and said, "Harry might like these gifts."

"I'll thank you on his behalf." Sirius turned his head and glanced at the photo, speaking without stopping playing, "Where's your plan? How's it going?"

"Lucius asked me to wait for news." Regulus drank the orange juice in one gulp. "He said it would take about two days."

Lucius's prediction did not go wrong. One morning two days later, an action plan was drawn up by the Ministry of Magic.

In order to investigate the suspected presence of five-legged monsters in the Inverness area and whether there are suspicious persons involved behind this incident, the Ministry of Magic dispatched a five-person working team, composed of the most experienced and prestigious Aurors in the department. Led by Moody, the team also includes Amos Diggory from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Arnold Peacegood from the Incident Reversal Team, and Walton McNeil from the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures.

And the last spot actually fell to Nymphadora Tonks, who was training with Moody and was a trainee Auror.

After getting the list, Regulus didn't speak for a long time.

That afternoon, Lupine arrived at NO.12 Grimmauld Place after a long journey.

"I got the news that Mad-Eye invited me to come with him." Lupine said as soon as he walked in, without even having time to take off his coat, "But the choice this time... I feel a little bit not good."

"You think so too?" Sirius said, "Before that, I want to know what reason Mad-Eye used to recruit you into the team."

Gu Lian</span> "On the one hand, I was indeed attacked by a five-legged monster there... On the other hand, the reason he gave to the Ministry of Magic was that 'Remus Lupin is a rare expert on dark magical creatures. He can provide a lot of help for this operation.'" Lupine walked to the coffee table and sat down, "But I originally thought they would only send a few Aurors... Tonks... what's going on? Ministry of Magic manpower Is the shortage that big? Do you need a trainee Auror who has just graduated a few months ago to handle this kind of thing?"

"I tend to think that this is Mad-Eye's personal arrangement. You know, he has always advocated actual combat." Sirius said fairly, "He may think that a few five-legged monsters are nothing to these adult wizards. He can While protecting Tonks, let her get more exercise... If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."

"But we all know that this operation has to deal with more than just five-legged monsters..." Lupine suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Because from the perspective of the Ministry of Magic, the only ones they have to deal with are five-legged monsters, and at most a few dark wizards who are afraid of chaos in the world.

"...Well, fortunately, I will act with them, Padfoot. I know she is your niece, and I will take care of her." Finally, Lupine added.

"With you and Moody here, I'm not too worried about Tonks' safety. Do you know what I'm more worried about?" Regulus said sullenly, "Guess, Walton McNee What did you do before?"

Sirius's face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and even Lupine's eyes showed a rare edge.

Of course they knew that Walton McNeil was once a Death Eater, and they even fought against each other ten years ago.

McNeil is cruel by nature and loves blood and violence, but he is also cunning. When Voldemort fell, he immediately wiped himself out, and then relied on his relationship with Lucius Malfoy to successfully win the war. The Ministry of Magic's Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Animals has created the position of Executioner, responsible for executing magical creatures that have caused harm to wizards.

He enjoyed this work endlessly. Every time he chopped off the heads of those creatures with a big ax and ended their lives, he would feel an inexplicable pleasure, but afterwards, he would feel empty again.

Because deep down in his heart, he was not satisfied with just killing magical creatures, he wanted to kill things... that were more worth killing.

Such a person being stuck in the team is obviously a hidden danger.

No one can guarantee what choice McNeil will make if the worst happens and Bella, Barty Jr. or even Voldemort himself appears.

"Anyway, according to the plan, we will set off in three days. This is the approximate route of action... We will go through Yorkshire and pass through this high moor... because there are some small things that need to be dealt with along the way." Lupine took out the map and said Pointing at it, "If everything goes well, we will be able to settle at the camp near Inverness in about two days. You have to think about where to meet us."

"I won't join you. I have a way to prevent anyone except Moody from discovering me... I hope you tell him not to publicize this matter everywhere." Regulus said, "I will act in secret. , if any accidents happen, you can take care of them..."

"Have you forgotten that there is a living person here?" After Regulus and Lupine discussed the details of the operation for 10 minutes, Sirius, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said quietly, "I noticed that in your plan , my name was not mentioned.”

"Because your mission is to stay here honestly, write letters to your godson when you have nothing to do, and go and chat with Andromeda when necessary." Regulus said in a matter-of-fact tone, "This is Our plan, I think this arrangement is very reasonable, it will be more convenient for me to move alone."

"Do you think I will drag you down?" Sirius couldn't help but stood up and asked.

"Padfoot, sit down." Lupine said sternly, "We still need support. If something goes wrong, you will know the news immediately, and then you can ask for help from others. This is very important."

"Humph, according to what you said, I hope I don't have to do anything." Of course Sirius knew that Lupine was comforting him, and he also certainly knew that it would be more convenient for Regulus to follow the Ministry of Magic team alone, but With his impulsive and bellicose personality, it is inevitable that there will be a psychological gap if he is kept at home and watches his brothers and good friends charge into battle.

"You may not know a few of the other people. Let me take this opportunity to explain it first, so as to get some information." Lupine immediately changed the subject, "First of all, Amos Diggory...how should I say, he He is a good guy, but he has a bit of an impatient personality, and he has a good relationship with Mad-Eye, which I think may be the reason why he is in the team."

"I have taught his son Cedric. He is a great child. He is talented and hard-working, humble and kind..." Regulus said. "I hope that child inherits all the advantages from his father." Come on, it will be much easier for us to move around."

"This is a very high rating." Sirius leaned on the back of the chair, and the two front legs of the chair swayed off the ground.

"At least I've been teaching at Hogwarts for a year, and I haven't seen any professor who doesn't like him. Even Snape...can't find anything wrong with him," Regulus said.

"Overall, Amos is pretty easy to get along with... Next is Arnold Peacegood. I haven't had much dealings with this guy, but Kingsley knows him." Lupine obviously did a lot of homework, The situation of these people was investigated very clearly, "According to Kingsley, this guy named Peacegood didn't seem to be very satisfied with staying in the Reversal of Incident Team, dealing with some Muggles such as the backflow of public toilets every day. Such... trivial incidents, but he wants to directly fight... ahem... the evil forces. He has always wanted to be transferred to the Law Enforcement Department and become a hitman."

"Strikeman? What's the difference from Auror?" Sirius suddenly asked.

"To put it simply, the striker only needs to be responsible for rushing in to solve the problem when there is a crime or dangerous situation." Regulus explained, "And this is only a small part of the Auror's job. I say this Can you understand?"

"Easy explanation," muttered Sirius. "It sounds like this guy is a bit overjoyed."

"Many people have a dream to become a hero..." Regulus said.

"But they have never thought about the price to pay for becoming a hero." Lupine continued, "I guess you want to say this, right?"

There was a brief silence in the room.

"You guys go ahead and make a hero plan, I'm going to bed." Sirius said suddenly.

After saying that, Sirius stretched exaggeratedly, pretended to yawn and walked up the stairs.

Regulus subconsciously glanced at the grandfather clock. The hands pointed to [-]:[-] pm.
