demon hunter at hogwarts

Generally speaking, after a business trip that makes people physically exhausted and mentally irritable, returning home to eat and drink well and then sleep is a good way to relieve themselves.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, no one in your family will bother you and ask you questions when you are in a gloomy mood.

Regulus did not get effective relief.

"So, you have been out working for a week, and not only did you not catch Voldemort or any Death Eaters, but you also got MacNeil involved?" Sirius commented after having a general understanding of the operation, "I don't want to say anything else... Next time something like this happens, it's best not to let me hear your bad news at home."

Regulus's face was livid, he held a silver spoon in his hand, and occasionally scooped up a spoonful of the thick soup in the bowl, drinking it absentmindedly without answering.

"It can't be said that it's completely meaningless..." Lupine on the side quickly took over and tried to smooth things over, "At least the Ministry of Magic must pay attention to the current situation and take necessary measures. They can no longer pretend that this didn't happen. .”

"What do you expect the Ministry of Magic to do? Tell everyone directly that Voldemort has returned and we need to pick up the wand and prepare to fight him?" Sirius asked, "Don't be naive Moony. According to my observation, they won't do this... …I think that if they can set up some Muggle expulsion spells or the like near there, and then issue a notice to tell wizards not to travel there, that would be considered a proper solution.”

"Sounds like something Fudge would do." Regulus said suddenly, "It seems you already know our minister very well."

"I thought you weren't going to talk anymore?" Sirius said rudely, "Looking at your posture just now, if the soup bowl was big enough, you might drown yourself in it?"

"I just don't think pointless complaints will help matters much." Regulus cut into a piece of steak and kidney pie. "The Dark Lord shouldn't be stupid enough to think that a group of five-legged monsters can defeat all those trying to find him." There were many people in the way...but through McNeil's incident, I thought of some new issues..."

"Any more fantastic ideas?" Sirius immediately pulled the pie plate in front of him, "Merlin, please don't expect any help from the Ministry of Magic like this time."

"A less pleasant hypothesis... imagine that your dear Harry Potter receives an anonymous gift at school..." Regulus snapped his fingers, "and... snap!"

Sirius cut the pie with too much force, and the knife collided with the plate, making a clicking sound.

Within seconds, he had sketched out a series of "not so pleasant" pictures in his mind.

"Portkeys cannot be sent into Hogwarts casually." Lupine's voice became lower and lower. "After mail enters Hogwarts, it will be strictly inspected..."

"Yes, it will go through Filch's strict inspection." Regulus said in a tone of reading an official document, "I don't mean any disrespect to him, but I think that if the Dark Lord wants to disguise something like If it is unrecognizable, it will be very difficult for our administrator to check it out."

"I have to talk to Dumbledore." Sirius stood up, his clothes almost knocking the soup bowl over on the floor.

"Mad-Eye has already gone to Hogwarts. He has not even returned to London. Whatever we can think of, Dumbledore will definitely consider it." Lupine stood up and tried to stop him, "Padfoot, as long as Dumbledore is here Hogwarts, that is the safest place in the world, we should believe him..."

"At least I have to make sure he knows our idea!" Sirius walked to the door and climbed the two steps. "I've had enough of letting others control everything."

Suddenly, a bright flame appeared directly above the dining table, interrupting the conversation of several people.

After the flames burned out, a note floated out slowly, swinging in the air and flying towards Sirius.

Sirius frowned, grabbed the note and glanced at it hastily, then crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then returned to the dining table and sat down.

"It seems that Dumbledore already knows what you are thinking." Regulus raised his eyebrows.

This unique method of transmitting messages was used by no one except the old principal who never followed the rules.

"Anyway, I'm going to talk to him tomorrow." Sirius said muffledly, "We have to do something... What about you? Do you want to go together?"

"Speaking of Hogwarts, I haven't been back for some years...I'll go with you." Lupine looked relieved, "Speaking of which, I miss going to school a little bit."

Sirius turned his attention to Regulus again.

"Unfortunately, someone has made an appointment with me in advance." Regulus shook his head. "I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Hogwarts from Lucius's house in time. I hope you won't fight with Snape again."

"If Snotlout hadn't dangled his big nose in front of me, I wouldn't have had the leisure to go see his stinky face." Upon hearing Snape's name, Sirius immediately changed his mind. He put on a disgusted expression and said, "Of course, I will ask Harry. If Snotlout dares to bully him, I won't rule out the possibility of going to him to get an explanation."

Regulus and Lupine exchanged meaningful glances.

"I will try my best." Lu Ping said helplessly.

"Don't be like this, I'm not a 16-year-old boy who knows his priorities well." Sirius muttered dissatisfiedly, "By the way, you just said you were going to Malfoy's house?"

"Yes, there has been such a big mess, and Lucius wants to hear my explanation." Regulus said.

"In the future that I can foresee in a short time, poor Lucius will not be so prosperous. What he has done over the years is an out-and-out betrayal in the eyes of his former master." There was something in Sirius' tone. With a bit of schadenfreude, he said, "He is a smart man and should be able to guess what McNeil's disappearance means. Many people will choose which side to stand on again. Let's see..."

The next morning, Malfoy Manor.

This time, Lucius did not entertain Regulus with the black tea that only the Queen of England could drink. Only Narcissa said a few words from time to time, trying to prevent the awkward atmosphere from continuing to spread in the living room.

10 minute later.

"You took advantage of me." Finally, Lucius coldly said his first words since meeting.

"You have wronged me." Regulus replied in a polite tone, "I did not expect that things would turn out like this."

This sentence was half true and half false. He really didn't expect that the Ministry of Magic would send McNeil, and McNeil happened to be caught.

"But according to Arnold Peacegood, that doesn't seem to be the case." Lucius obviously didn't believe Regulus' explanation. "The conclusion I drew from his description is just the opposite... You would have Knowing what would happen makes me very suspicious of your motives..."

Gu Si</span> "My motive?" Regulus met Lucius' suspicious gaze without giving in. "I made it very clear last time. I hope the Black family can get back what belongs to them." status."

When Narcissa heard "Black Family", her hands and fingers were intertwined, and her eyes swept back and forth on the faces of her husband and cousin.

Lucius was obviously dissatisfied with Regulus' explanation. He said sternly: "I have to warn you, things are no longer within our control. If you want to survive..."

In the middle of his words, he suddenly stopped.

"It seems you have invited other guests?" Regulus was keenly aware of something.

"I'll be back soon." After saying that, Lucius stood up and walked out of the hall.

Regulus leaned back in his chair and stared boredly at the flickering flames in the luxurious marble fireplace.

"So, you saw Bella..." Narcissa suddenly said, "How is she?"

"She didn't use her face... but judging from her magic power, she should be quite healthy." Regulus answered truthfully, "I was almost burned to death by her fierce fire."

"Her character is always so impatient." Narcissa shook her head, with a complicated expression on her face.

Next, the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention anything about Bella, and instead talked about the Weird Sisters' new song.

Soon, Lucius came back, followed by a tall and strong man with his hair braided on the back of his head.

"Yaxley..." Regulus recognized this person and stood up and stretched out a hand, "It's been a long time no see."

Even from a wizard's perspective, Yaxley's current attire looked a bit ridiculous.

The wizard's robe on his body is elegant and noble in style, exquisite in workmanship, and made of genuine materials. The satin is embellished with gold threads, making it look elegant and gorgeous.

Such an outfit, if Sirius wore it to a dinner party, he would definitely be the brightest star in the room.

But wearing it on Yaxley, who has a sinister face and is gloomy and cruel, is like a clergyman's robe worn on a butcher, looking out of place and weird.

Yaxley stretched out his hand with a cold expression, shook Regulus briefly, then turned to Lucius and said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "You didn't tell me... there are other guests in your house, look. You still don’t understand the importance of what I want to tell you... In this case, take your leave."

After saying that, Yaxley turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lucius.

"We are discussing the same thing." Lucius had a trademark fake smile on his face, "We have known each other for so many years, you should trust my judgment... You don't look good."

"Those idiots on the Experimental Spells Committee have released a bunch of poisonous ducks." Yaxley said angrily. "Fortunately, those things can't stop me, but Avery and Albert Lencow Well, it's tragic, they are still lying in St. Mungo's."

After saying this, he found a place for himself under the steps and sat directly opposite Regulus.

"You already know about McNeil." Lucius said straight to the point.

"The internal theory is that he disappeared. Many people did not take this matter seriously. It was just a disappearance. Not long ago, a Quidditch referee's broomstick was transformed into a portkey and then sent to the Sahara Desert. "?" Yaxley said, "There are so many illegal door keys... Maybe when we were worried about him, he was enjoying the sun, beach and women in Hawaii..."

"You don't need to pretend to be a fool here, we all know what happened." Lucius waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Yaxley's nonsense, "You expect the Daily Prophet "Dedicate a large amount of space to reporting on the disappearance of the Ministry of Magic staff? Cornelius Fudge may be stupid, but he is not that stupid."

"So? What are you going to do? If you are not stupid, you should know what this means. He will not forgive the betrayer..." Yaxley did not look up, but just rolled his eyes and stared at Lucius, "At this time, I advise you to throw away all your property and status, take your wife and son and run to Germany to avoid the limelight."

Hearing this, Narcissa frowned in displeasure, obviously offended.

She was about to speak, but Lucius spoke before her: "Of course I will handle these matters properly. I won't worry about my family affairs for you."

"Of course... the shrewd Malfoy can always settle everything." Yaxley said slyly, "I overstepped... I really hope you can put yourself on the right side like you did ten years ago. "

"Thank you for your concern." Lucius said, "In return, I have to remind you that Germany is not that safe. Maybe you can consider going to Persia."

Yaxley stormed off just as he had come.

"I can foresee that this kind of scene will continue to happen again in the next few days." Regulus, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly said, "Avery, Nott, Gibbon, Gagson... and Clara Boo and Goyle, they will all come to you for advice, after all, you are their real..."

"If you are talking about this group of losers." Lucius took out a pile of letterheads from somewhere and threw it to Regulus, "A group of guys who have failed to achieve anything but failed. They are afraid that others will not be able to tell that they are here. Think about something.”

"I don't need to read this rubbish." Regulus did not open the colorful letters and placed them directly on the table. He stared directly at Lucius and asked softly: "What if I didn't If you guess wrong, you should have another letter there, written by McNeil, right?"

Lucius's face instantly turned pale.

"To borrow what Yaxley just said... I hope you can make the right choice." Regulus said, "If you need help, I will sit here."

"A very pertinent suggestion..." Lucius said solemnly, "I can solve it."

"Let me think about it...hide in Persia?" Regulus asked, "You know, if he wants to find someone, it will be useless even if you hide in India. There is only one safe place in the world. "

"I know where is the safest place in the world...thank you."
