demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 4 Under the Sun

In fact, this was not the first time he had used this strange fire spell.

Regulus had subconsciously used this green flame when burning the message he left in the locket.

He didn't know the principle, he only had a feeling that this was how this magic should be used, and its uses were far more than just burning pieces of paper.

As for how this power came from, there is still no clue. The only thing that can be determined is that it is definitely not given by Voldemort's secret potion.

Regulus went out thoughtfully and took the wrong direction.

When he realized this, as soon as he turned around, he bumped into someone who had no time to stop.

Fortunately, his agility as Slytherin's main seeker was not wasted. He easily maintained his balance and grabbed the witch with bubblegum-like bright pink hair to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"Sorry...I was too impatient." The witch is tall and has a heart-shaped face that is a bit childish. She looks like a student, but she has shiny and strange jewelry hanging on her ears, and her clothes look very special to the wizard. Rebellious ripped jeans.

Regulus thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember seeing her there.

The witch's father waved to her from a distance, and after she apologized to Regulus again, she ran away.On the way, he almost knocked down a little wizard.

"Nymphadora! Why are you still so irritable?" Her father was a slightly stout blond wizard with a kind appearance.

"I told you not to call me Nymphadora!" The witch was a little disgusted. As she and her father walked deeper into Diagon Alley, she looked back, but at this time, Regulus' figure had been drowned by the bustling crowd.

Her behavior struck her father as odd.

"I always feel that the person just now is a bit familiar." In this regard, the witch explained.

"Yes, it's time for you to find a boyfriend. How about Bill Weasley? I heard that he entered Gringotts after graduation..."

Regulus did not hear the conversation between the father and daughter behind them, but the "Nymphadora" in front of them still reached his ears clearly.

He immediately remembered who the witch was, the daughter of Andromeda Black, his niece.

Many years ago, when he was packing up Sirius' clutter that was thrown out of the house by Walburga, he saw letters from Sirius and Andromeda, in which this name was mentioned and photos were attached.

Regulus had no intention of going over to chat. Due to their different views on blood, the relationship between them was not close.

He was very efficient, and it took him less than an hour to purchase all the necessary items, including but not limited to new carpets, curtains, and new clothing from Tuofan Clothing Store.

The sun was shining brightly and it was still early.

Before he knew it, he was in front of the Quidditch boutique window again.

Looking at the dazzling array of new broomsticks inside, Regulus couldn't help but think of his first broomstick.

In terms of performance, that broom was not outstanding, far inferior to the "Nimbus" and "Sweep" series of the same era.To Regulus, that broom had a different meaning.

He loved Quidditch, but as a freshman, they were not allowed to bring broomsticks onto campus.Even Volburga, who doted on Regulus, did not agree to Regulus's request to buy a broom.For this reason, Regulus has been depressed.

But unexpectedly, that Christmas, he received a gift from Sirius, a Comet 120 broomstick.According to what Regulus later learned, that broom cost Sirius all his pocket money, and for the next half term, he relied on James Potter to purchase all the prank props and snacks they needed.

Although Sirius explained it this way at the time: "The more my mother disagrees with something, the more I have to do it."

As for the consequences... He still remembered that during the summer vacation that year, Sirius slept on his stomach for about a month.

"Sir, are you a vampire?" An ethereal child's voice interrupted Regulus's thoughts.

Regulus quickly found the person who asked the question. She was a little girl with light blond hair, with big light blue eyes and a curious face. She was holding a small package in her hand.

"what?"

"Dad said that vampires are all tall and thin, with pale skin and wearing aristocratic dresses." The little girl said seriously.

Regulus regretted a little, the new clothes were indeed a bit gorgeous.

If someone had accused him of being a magical creature so rudely more than ten years ago, Regulus would have been quite angry, but now facing this innocent little girl, he just wanted to tease her.

"First of all, I like living in the sun. Also, the smell of garlic is deadly to vampires, so why don't you go get some garlic? See if it has any effect on me."

The little girl seemed to really want to buy garlic, but was quickly stopped by her mother.

"Luna, you can't talk to others like this, it's very rude... I'm sorry, my daughter is not very sensible."

"Children are just curious, it's okay." Regulus waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

The mother and daughter left, and Regulus could vaguely hear them arguing about whether they were vampires.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy.

He closed his eyes so no one could notice that his eyes had turned green.

Soon, he confirmed his guess, hurried through the crowd, and caught up with the mother and daughter just now.

"May I ask, what is in this package?" Regulus pointed to the package in Luna's hand.

"This? It's Bubble Snot Monster's tentacle powder. We bought it from Knockturn Alley. It's very rare!" Luna held the package with a bright smile.

"Bubble Snotlout?" This unfamiliar term confused Regulus.

"It's the Bubble-Snot Monster. We believe this is a magical animal that has not been recognized by academia. This bag of materials can be used to improve my super-sense potion. Of course, it needs to be studied..." Pandora Lovegood , Luna's mother said: "...We found this in a medicine shop in Knockturn Alley. They didn't seem to know the value of this packet of medicinal powder, and only sold it for two Galleons..."

"Can you show it to me?" Regulus interrupted Mrs. Lovegood's explanation with a serious look.

"Of course." Luna was about to open the package, but Regulus stopped her.

"There are too many people here, let's choose a quieter place."

From the perspective of others, his behavior is really suspicious, more like a thief and a liar who found a secluded place to commit a crime.

But the Lovegoods and their daughters seemed to have no intention of taking precautions, and they apparated to a grassy field in the suburbs.

"For your safety, I suggest you not to carry this bag with you, especially--" Regulus pointed at Luna "--let a child hold it. I have to tell you, This is not the tentacles of a snot demon, but the powder made from the tail spines of Manticore, which is extremely toxic. Do you know Manticore, a 5X level magical animal, extremely dangerous, with a human head, a lion body, Scorpion tail.”

Regulus was able to recognize this package because Professor Slughorn once showed it off to them at a Slug Club gathering. Through his contacts, he got a small package and was ready to try it. Used to improve potion recipes.

"This kind of thing is very dangerous. Even I have to be very careful when using it, so I am very formally warning everyone not to try to use it to prepare potions. If any small link goes wrong, the consequences will be very, very terrible. ." Regulus remembered Professor Slughorn's exaggerated tone at that time.

Seeing that Mrs. Lovegood still didn't believe it, Regulus continued: "I assume that you really use this thing to make potions according to your whims, then there is a great possibility that you will Blow yourself up, or worse... drag your daughter along with you."

Regulus's tone was unquestionable, and he mentioned Luna again, which frightened Mrs. Lovegood, and her voice trembled a little: "You'd better prove your statement..."

"It's easy. Packages are flying!"

The package held by Luna flew in front of Regulus, but instead of catching it directly with his hands, he cast a silent levitating spell to make the package hover in the air.

Then he pulled up a blade of grass and turned it into a teaspoon.

Finally, he carefully scooped up a little powder and placed it on the ground.

"This is enough...the prototype appears!"

As Regulus' spell took effect, the gray powder quickly turned into dark brown.

"Obviously, someone has disguised this and added a protective layer on the outside. It is a very clever magic. It may be for smuggling. It's a pity that he couldn't get it in the end..."

The powder began to make a terrible hissing sound, and the teaspoons turned into grass blades were corroded cleanly in an instant. Then the powder was sprinkled on the ground, immediately corroding the grass into small pits, which quickly grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just a little bit of powder was so poisonous that Mrs. Lovegood's face turned pale as she seemed to imagine the consequences of using it to brew the potion.

"Fade without a trace!"

Following Regulus's spell, a large pit half a meter deep appeared on the ground, and all the eroded soil disappeared.

Regulus spread his hands and made an expression that said, "I don't need to say anything else."

After a brief silence, little Luna spoke in her disembodied voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Vampire, you are a good man." His voice was smooth, as if he was not frightened at all.

"This evaluation is simple and direct." Regulus smiled, a good person?Maybe.

"Will we meet again?" Luna asked again.

"When you are old enough to go to Hogwarts, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet me."

Mrs. Lovegood seemed to have just recovered and said in surprise: "So you are a professor at Hogwarts? No wonder..."

"I haven't received a formal appointment letter yet, but it should be soon. Goodbye, you two."
