demon hunter at hogwarts

After reading the words silently several times, Regulus folded the parchment and stuffed it into his briefcase with a livid face.

Now that he already knew whose handiwork it was, he didn't bother to study it anymore. He could just confront the original owner when the time came.

Speaking of which, this thing is quite old and has quite a lot of prejudices.

In the distant No. 12 Grimmauld Place, a certain Mr. Padfoot shuddered.

The next day, it was quickly discovered that Gryffindor's hourglass was more than half empty.

The reason is easy to find out. Poor Fred and George became the sinners of Gryffindor. Even Gryffindor's Quidditch captain, Charlie Weasley, almost decided to recruit the newly recruited players to the team. The batsman's brothers dismissed.

During breakfast, Professor McGonagall, who was usually unsmiling, became like a cat that could explode at any time, which was in sharp contrast to Snape on the other side.

Unfortunately, Snape's good mood did not last long.

The last class that afternoon was the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"...Assignment after class, practice the disarming spell. In the next class, I need you to be proficient in this spell."

After class, the second-year wizards filed out, while the Weasley twins lingered behind.

"What's the matter?" Regulus packed up the handouts without looking up at them.

"Sir... I wonder... if I could get that piece of parchment back..." Fred asked boldly.

"I'm afraid not."

Although they didn't have high hopes, Regulus's clear rejection still made the twins feel very frustrated.

"The maker of that parchment is a very dangerous and notorious dark wizard. I can't let students hold such a dark magic creation." Regulus' eyes swept over the twins and fell on the classroom. At the door, "It's Professor Snape, do you want to see me?"

The person the Weasley twins least wanted to see in school was Snape.

The two of them followed Regulus' gaze to the door, and sure enough they saw Snape, wearing black robes that had never been changed for thousands of years, standing at the door with a straight face, looking at them with cold eyes.

The twins immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask Regulus for the map. The most important thing now was to stay as far away from Snape as possible.

They packed their schoolbags as fast as they could in their lives and escaped from the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Snape watched as the two men ran down the stairs before entering the classroom.

"Dumbledore asked you to come to his office at eight o'clock tonight."

"On this matter, you actually used Dean Snape to send a message?"

"No...there is still a little personal matter." Snape stared at Regulus and said in a bad tone, "No matter what Dumbledore thinks, I don't have the slightest trust in that dog. You'd better fight twelve Keep an eye on him, lest he cause any more trouble... You must have noticed that we don't have any extra James Potter for him to trap."

"Thanks for the reminder." Regulus said stiffly, "I will consider it."

Without saying a word, Snape turned around and strode out of the classroom.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Regulus came to the principal's office as agreed. After standing at the door with the gargoyle's eyes wide open for 10 minutes, Dumbledore came out of the office.

"Since you've been here a long time ago, why don't you come in?" the old principal asked with a smile.

Of course Regulus would not tell Dumbledore that Snape did not say the password when delivering the message, and after listening to Snape's "admonition", he had no intention of asking further questions.

Besides him and Dumbledore, there was an acquaintance in the office.

Lupin.

Because the full moon had just passed, Lupine looked very haggard and weak. He slumped down on a sofa, still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to Wales some time ago, and his old suitcase was thrown aside.

Apparently, he came here to find Dumbledore as soon as he came back from Wales.

"Why are you here? You should be recuperating at home." Regulus's brain began to work rapidly, "Is there something wrong with Greyback?"

"Things are terrible." Lupine said weakly with a gloomy face. "Not only Greyback was there, but also some other acquaintances. I saw Scabior and Willy Widdershin..."

Regulus and Dumbledore looked at each other. Mundungus had mentioned these two people before.

But what Lupine said next shocked Regulus.

"...They have turned into werewolves."

"This is wrong." Regulus discovered the problem keenly, "I heard that Greyback only attacks children..."

"He did like to attack children before, take them away from their parents, and instill hatred for wizards. I was bitten by him when I was a child." Lupine's tone was filled with deep helplessness and sadness, "But now he has changed In addition to wizards with no legitimate professions like Scabior and Widdershin, they also captured many Muggle beggars, tramps and orphans and transformed them into werewolves."

"It seems that they did a lot of work on this full moon night." Regulus said disdainfully, "A very wise choice, beggars, vagrants and orphans, as well as criminals and gangsters with criminal records... no matter Muggles and wizards don't care where these people go."

"Greyback has always had ambitions, hoping to create enough werewolves to rule the wizards." Lupine said weakly, "No one is willing to accept werewolves, so they can only follow Greyback's leadership and work for him. "

"But this approach is too radical... Maybe they are in urgent need of manpower and hope to use this method to create a group of subordinates in a short time, or...cannon fodder?" Regulus and Dumbledore exchanged a Eyes.

"I think it's possible. Remus, have you found any signs that Greyback has been in contact with other people, or received instructions from anyone?" Dumbledore, who had been silent, spoke up.

"No, but they became very cautious and changed the meeting place three times within a week." Lupine replied after thinking for a moment, "I was almost discovered by Scabior, he seemed to be very willing to be transformed into a werewolf... …”

"I understand, Remus, you go home and rest now." Dumbledore said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Lupine left.

"Obviously the deadline set by you and Nico Flamel has worked. The Dark Lord plans to use all the power at his disposal to get the Sorcerer's Stone before Halloween." Regulus analyzed, "But... things Is it a little more than you expected?"

"Indeed, in the absence of resurrection, this kind of high-profile approach is indeed a bit illogical, unless he has other plans... I need to think clearly."

"Very well, we'll talk after you clear up your thoughts. But don't bother asking Snape to help deliver the message. He doesn't seem to like doing this job." Regulus turned and planned to leave.

"Speaking of Severus, could you please ask him to come over?" Dumbledore stopped Regulus. "I'll wait here. The new password is Bee Bee Sugar."

"Ready to serve."

5 minutes later, at the door of the Potions Professor's office.

"Dumbledore invites you to come to his office."

"do you have anything else?"

"Nothing."
