demon hunter at hogwarts

Regulus digested the information he got from Li, and when he took out his pocket watch to look at it, he found that it was already past lunch time.

He couldn't help but miss the days at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. Whenever he wanted to eat, Kreacher would have everything ready within 5 minutes.

"It seems I can only try my luck in the kitchen."

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the classroom door, he met Severus Snape, who was wearing a black robe and a gloomy face, standing quietly in the corridor.

"It's Professor Snape, don't you need a lunch break?" For many reasons, Regulus didn't want to communicate with Snape.

"I noticed that you didn't go to the auditorium to eat, so I brought you one. I didn't expect Professor Reinhardt to love his job so much that he even worked tirelessly to tutor students." Snape curled his thin lips and said with his usual He spoke in a mean tone.

Only then did Regulus notice that Snape was holding a box in his hand. He deeply suspected that Snape had been hiding the box in his sleeves that were too long.

"Thank you..." Regulus took the box and said calmly, "But Severus, let me tell you what I have to say. No one likes to have someone staring at their back and monitoring their every move. You are so Do it, is what Dumbledore meant?"

"No one can command me to do anything. I do it entirely of my own free will." Snape also put away his fake smile, "Let's make it clear, we all know who Mr. Li's parents are. So. A Death Eater and an adult child of a Death Eater were locked in a classroom, secretly conspiring for more than an hour. I need to find out what happened."

"I don't know when you took such a firm stand." Regulus stared at Snape coldly.

"I just want to give you another reminder out of my former... ahem... friendship as classmates. Don't try to do anything at Hogwarts. Dumbledore is watching." Snape stretched out his right hand and pointed. Point in the direction of the principal's office.

After saying that, he left quickly, his black robes fluttering behind him.

Regulus had the urge to throw away the meal that Snape had brought, but he restrained himself considering that he had to walk several flights of stairs to reach the kitchen.

In fact, during their student days, Regulus and Snape did not have much interaction, and the conversations between the two were probably not as frequent as those between Snape and Sirius.

Although they both studied in Slytherin House, they were two grades apart when they entered school, so they originally had different circles of classmates.

Snape was withdrawn and introverted, always living alone and rarely communicating with other classmates; Regulus was not like that. As a member of the well-known pure-blood Black family, there were a large number of classmates from other wizarding families when he first entered school. to exchange relationships.

As for later, there may be a deep comradeship between some Death Eaters, but it will never be between Snape and Regulus.

Back in the office, Regulus, who was worried, took two bites of the lunch brought by Snape.

Barnaby Lee's past was not a pleasant one, but there was something hidden in it that he was unaware of.

Based on Lee's age, Regulus could deduce that a year before Voldemort's fall, someone had been providing intelligence to the Death Eaters and betraying James Potter.

In order to find the details that Lee had overlooked, Regulus even considered borrowing a pensieve from Dumbledore to play back Lee's memories and track down the real traitor.

But soon, he rejected this idea himself.

Certain wounds caused by black magic cannot be healed, such as those hideous scars on Li's body.

What is more terrifying and far-reaching than physical trauma is spiritual trauma.After a child as young as seven is tortured like that, there is a high chance that he will live in that shadow for the rest of his life and never recover.

Thank God that Barnaby Lee has grown up to be what he is now.

Regulus didn't want to force him to recall the darkest, nightmarish day of his life.

"The Dark Lord would not be stupid enough to expose his identity as an undercover agent in front of a large group of people." Regulus convinced himself.

In order to divert his attention, Regulus had to pull a bunch of third-year students' homework and start grading it.

The assignment content is a paper on how to deal with red hats.

Soon, Regulus grew tired of it. In his opinion, the students' homework was a complete mess, partly patchwork and partly made up.

Only one-fifth of the papers are truly satisfactory.

He even understood Snape somewhat. In any case, Snape's attainments in Potions were obvious to all.Professor Slughorn, who is known for his ruthless vision, believes that he is an unparalleled potion genius who can become something great given time.

With Snape's professional vision, he would definitely not be in a good state of mind if he looked at students' nonsense papers every day.

But who made them all take the job of professor?

Regulus resisted the urge to tear off some of the parchment and worked hard to correct the paper.

The afternoon sun slanted into the office through the windows, and the fireplace was spitting out a warm flame.

In the end, he couldn't resist the intrusion of sleepiness, pushed the pile of parchment aside, lay on the table and took a nap.

He soon fell asleep.

It was a bizarre place, a bit like No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

First, Sirius wore Snape's black robe and confidently told James Potter: "I will be your secret keeper, so that the three of you will be absolutely safe, even if Voldemort finds out when he puts his nose to your window glass." Can’t help you.”

Then the elf head hanging on the wall suddenly turned into Voldemort's head. He said to Sirius and James Potter: "Stupid guys, you have made two serious mistakes! First of all, Lord Voldemort did not notice Something that cannot be solved. Secondly, Lord Voldemort has no nose."

Then Voldemort transformed into Walburga Black and screamed in a heartbreaking voice: "You two scoundrels are traitors! Get out of this house!"

Walburga also disappeared, and Dumbledore's face came out of the ceiling, staring at Regulus, and kept saying: "I'm looking at you... I'm looking at you..."

In addition to these, there was a voice in the back of his mind that kept whispering in a language that Regulus couldn't understand.

"Wake up! Master Regulus!"

The bullfrog-like voice shattered the chaotic dream into pieces. Regulus opened his eyes and met Kreacher's big, bloodshot eyes.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen off the chair at some point and the parchment was scattered on the floor.

"Master Regulus should go to bed and Kreacher must wake him up and not let him sleep on the floor. But for disturbing Master Regulus, Kreacher should be punished..." The elf muttered and bumped his head. Toward the wall, Regulus reacted quickly and conjured a cushion there.

"Stop, Kreacher, don't punish yourself." Regulus stood up unsteadily, "Did you find anything when you came to Hogwarts to find me?

"Master Regulus, Kreacher has found Remus Lupin." Kreacher said proudly.
