demon hunter at hogwarts

It didn't take Regulus too much time to adapt to his status as a professor again. Everything was basically familiar to him.

A month later, most of the students had forgotten that they once had a stammering teacher named Quirinas Quirrell. They all believed that a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher should be Lei Gu. Les looks like this.

One weekend, the Slytherin Quidditch team got full use of the Quidditch pitch with Snape's favor, and Regulus, as a part-time coach, was also invited to the pitch to guide their training. .

"If I could have come a month earlier, they might not have lost to Gryffindor." Regulus looked at the green shadow hovering in the sky and said to Snape who had just arrived in the stands with some reluctance.

"I thought you would do something more meaningful and greater, in order to... restore the glory of the Black family?" There was an empty seat between where Snape was sitting and Regulus, but His slightly mocking voice was just enough for the other party to hear, "You can't accomplish your great goal by playing with children in school."

"You should tell Dumbledore the same thing." Regulus smiled faintly, "In a sense, what he has been doing is the same as what I am doing now, but this does not prevent him from doing anything. 'The greatest wizard in the world', right?"

"Even if he is sitting here, I will not change my words." Snape's black eyes looked forward without focus, and said gloomily, "Wanting to live a meaningful life is the most meaningless pursuit."

"What happened to you today?" Regulus turned to Snape in surprise and looked at the Potions Professor up and down, as if he had never met this person before. "The Severus Snape in my impression is not He is a thinker who likes to understand the philosophy of life."

"I'm a little tired... With you here, I may not need to worry about many things..." At this point, Snape suddenly stopped talking, and a few seconds later said with a sneer: "You can change what you just said. Think I took the wrong confusing potion and said nonsense."

With that, Snape turned and left the stand as suddenly as he had arrived.

Regulus was a little confused by Snape. It wasn't until a deflected Bludger came straight to the door with the sound of howling wind that he came to his senses and displayed a ball-seeker. The agility and reaction speed your hands should have.

Regarding Snape, he also pieced together a general situation from many people's mouths: Snape, who was once a Death Eater, for some reason joined the "just" side before Voldemort fell and became a He became Dumbledore's spy and provided intelligence to the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.

In return, Dumbledore vouched for Snape in front of the members of the Wizengamot and provided him with a teaching position at Hogwarts for ten years.

Because of his sensitive identity and the stains on his experience, both Voldemort's opponents and those Death Eaters who had escaped punishment had limited trust in Snape and did not dare to get too close to him. , for fear that he is actually a member of the enemy.

Even within the Order of the Phoenix, there were doubts about Snape more than once. Moody and Sirius simply declared that they had no trust in Snape and that he should not join the Order at all.

Only Dumbledore, who always insisted that he had unbreakable reasons to trust Snape.

Regulus believed that this should be some kind of agreement between Snape and Dumbledore, and only the two of them knew the specific content.Because the identity of the so-called double agent is too subtle, it may change from a fake undercover agent to a real betrayal at any time, and this is true for either party.

Since Dumbledore had every reason to trust Snape, there was no need for him to spend too much time investigating Snape's identity and waste time on useless efforts.

Anyway, he and Snape had cooperated several times overtly and covertly in the past year, and he didn't see anything suspicious about the other party.

Unable to think of a clue, Regulus simply did what Snape said and dismissed the words as nonsense made by the other party who took the wrong medicine, and temporarily put them in the back of his mind.

"When it comes to being tired, everyone is about the same."

Regulus stretched and left the stand.

In order to give the students a chance to practice in dealing with dark magical creatures, he went to Newt and borrowed the suitcase that was cast with a traceless stretching spell and could hold the entire London Zoo.

I stopped by to visit Nagini.

Under Newt's care, Nagini's health is no longer a big problem, and the sequelae of the spell have been basically eliminated, and she will no longer go crazy and attack people for no reason.

But she also knew that she had lost a lot of memories, and that she had once been a human being, not a beast.

"I don't understand her language, but I can tell she is desperate." Newt told Regulus at the time.

Regulus certainly had no doubts about what the magizoologist said, so he made a promise to Nagini, who huddled in a ball all day long, pretending to be in hibernation: "I will find a way to help you regain your memory and restore your human form. of."

He wasn't sure if Nagini believed what he said, but from the letter written by Newt, he at least knew that Nagini seemed to have some motivation to live.

As for turning the blood-cursed orcs back into human form...

"Although I am one of the best in the United Kingdom in terms of transformation skills...or maybe one of the third or fourth best, but to reverse the transformation of a blood-cursed orc who has completely transformed into a beast...are you thinking too much?" In the fireplace, he looked obviously haggard. Sirius helplessly said to Regulus, "If you ask Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, the two truly top transfiguration masters, you will know that what you want to do is completely fantasy... …”

"I didn't ask you to find a way from Transfiguration! Did you learn Druid spells in vain?" Regulus threw a paper ball into the fireplace in frustration, and passed through Sirius' head.

"You plan to teach that snake? She was once Voldemort's pet. Are you not afraid that what you teach her will be known to Voldemort?" Sirius asked in disbelief, "I know you are a graduate of Slytherin College. , has a special affection for snakes...Okay, I'll think of a way..."

Seeing the look on Regulus's face, Sirius finally changed his mind.

"Thank you... How about the Department of Mysteries?" Regulus forced a smile, "The dark circles under your eyes are serious enough. It reminds me of the way you looked when you first escaped from prison last year." "

"They know that we are tightening our vigilance, so in the past month, there hasn't been a ghost at night." Sirius shook his head and sighed, "But... this may be what they want to see. Once we persist, If they don't stop and let down their guard, their chance will come. I can't even find time to go to Gilderoy Lockhart's book club."

"Let's put the book club matter aside for now. I don't think Lockhart has anything to worry about for the time being." Regulus said, "Whether he has truly recovered his memory or been cast by the Dark Lord's people under the Imperius Curse. , as long as he doesn't show up, we won't be able to find him. I suspect that they put the news in the newspaper just to make our attention more chaotic and our manpower more scattered, so that we can't notice their real target. "

"You mean..."

"That's right, no matter how mysterious the Dark Lord is, the only real target is Harry. This is also the real reason why I agreed to Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts to teach..." Regulus said, "Looking at the current situation, There is no one more suitable for this position than me.”

"In that case, I would like to thank you very much..." Sirius smiled, "Say hello to Snotlout for me and take my leave now."

After saying that, the fire in the fireplace swayed, and Sirius' head disappeared.

The next second, someone knocked on Regulus' office door.

Combined with Sirius' words before leaving, Regulus immediately realized who was standing outside the door.

"What's the matter, Professor Snape?"

Gu Jun</span> "Dumbledore asked me to bring this to you... In addition, there are several students who need you to arrange their confinement." Snape expressionlessly handed over an unsigned letter and a The parchment note said, "The time is tonight at eight o'clock. I have already given you the list."

After saying that, Snape turned and left without waiting for Regulus to answer.

Regulus opened the letterhead, and it was indeed Dumbledore's unique ornate font of circles within circles.

He read just two lines before he paused, thoughtful.

It was so convenient for Dumbledore to tell him the news. There were many ways to keep it from others, but he chose to let Snape deliver the message.

This was telling himself that he did trust Snape, and also expressing his trust in Snape.

After reading the letter, he looked at the parchment slip with the student's name on it.

"interesting."

At eight o'clock that night, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Three Gryffindors and one Slytherin, all freshmen.

Slytherin is Draco Malfoy, and Gryffindor is Neville, Ron, and Harry.

"According to Professor Snape and Filch's description, you agreed to go to the Astronomy Tower for a duel at midnight yesterday?" Regulus' pupils reflected the candlelight as he scanned the four people standing in a row.

"Yes." Harry answered first, while Ron nodded quickly.

"I just want to stop them..." Neville explained timidly, but as he was about to speak, Regulus put his index finger to his lips to signal Neville to be quiet.

"So, who won?"

Several people did not expect Regulus to ask such a question, and after exchanging several surprised looks, Harry finally answered: "Ron and I arrived at the agreed place on time, but Malfoy did not come. We're just waiting for Filch and Snape."

"Professor Snape," Regulus corrected, "So you are saying that you were framed by Mr. Malfoy?"

"Yes." Ron replied immediately.

"Then, I hope you can learn some lessons from this incident." Regulus said, "Before going to the appointment, consider whether it is a trap instead of letting anger and impulse dominate your brain."

Draco showed a provocative expression to Ron, and Ron immediately prepared to retaliate, but Harry pulled his sleeve.

"But anyway, the four of you were caught running around the castle during curfew time... Since Professor Snape is not free today, I will be responsible for your confinement." Regulus said, "Now, Take your wands in your hands and follow me."

"Excuse me, sir?" Draco asked confused, "Where are we going? Professor Snape told me to come to this classroom..."

"Come to this classroom and follow my arrangements." Regulus said with a smile, "And my arrangement is to go to the Forbidden Forest."

Now, the four little wizards looked up at him in surprise.

"But...Professor Boo...Black,...Professor Dumbledore said before...that you...can't go to the Forbidden Forest." Neville couldn't even speak clearly, he was just like Quirrell.

The other three nodded in unison, agreeing with Neville's words, and then Draco and Harry Ron looked at each other and each gave a vicious "hum".

"I am happy for Professor Dumbledore that you can remember the Headmaster's speech at the banquet so clearly." Regulus said, "But now, you must follow me."

Several people had no choice but to follow Regulus and leave the classroom.

Walking out of the castle, the cool night breeze blew against his face. Draco couldn't help but tighten the cloak again and hold his hawthorn wand tighter.

But in Harry's heart, besides being nervous, there was also a hint of expectation and a bit of excitement.

While at home, Harry heard many adventure stories from Sirius about his father and his friends roaming the Forbidden Forest under the full moon. The adventure factor in his body inherited from James Potter had already been Ready to move.

At the Halloween dinner, he heard Dumbledore promulgate a ban on the Forbidden Forest, and he was always curious about what was hidden in the woods.

Today, I finally have a legitimate reason to satisfy my curiosity.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid was busy outside the house, and his huge figure could be clearly seen from a long distance away. Beside him, there were several dark things lying on the ground, with their tangled legs stretched out haphazardly toward the sky.

Ron seemed to have seen something that frightened him so much that he shrank behind Neville and Harry, not even paying attention to Malfoy's sneer.

"We are here." Regulus greeted Hagrid, and the four young wizards followed him to Hagrid's hut.

Now, even Draco couldn't care less about laughing at Ron. His originally pale face now had no color at all.

Because they all saw clearly what those dark things were.

The spider is as big as a horse, has a ferocious face, is covered in hair, has eight eyes and eight legs, and will give you goosebumps just by looking at it.

Harry and Neville had to hold Ron on the left and right to prevent him from falling to the ground.

"The descendants of Aragog." Hagrid pointed at the spiders and said, "Few things can kill them. Other creatures may have entered the Forbidden Forest."
