demon hunter at hogwarts

Chapter 59 Crouch

"Hmph, that greasy and slippery snot nose, oily and watery, oily tongue, oily head and pink face, oily voice..."

Upon hearing the news that Snape was now very happy, Sirius immediately became furious and cursed with all kinds of adjectives.

Regulus didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just concentrated on his half-rare steak.

"It sounds like applying for a job at Hogwarts is easy." After venting his anger, Sirius said angrily, "After I catch that rat, I'll go find Dumbledore and find a job."

"If that guy named Quirrell hasn't come back next year, you can give it a try." Regulus said, "Dumbledore will agree. Think about it, as soon as you meet Snape, it means There is a practical lesson..."

The dinner ended with Sirius being so drunk that he muttered the words Prongs, Harry, Moony and Snotlout while Kreacher took him back to his bedroom.

After settling Sirius, Regulus rearranged a silver pipe that Orion had used and that had been knocked to the ground by a drunken Sirius on the shelf, and then walked towards the door.

"Master Regulus, are you going back to Hogwarts?" Kreacher immediately caught up with Regulus, took his windbreaker off the hook and handed it over, "It's cold outside, Master Regulus must Put this on."

"I'm just going out for some air." Regulus took the windbreaker and put it on him, then opened the door.

It was quiet at night, and the only sound on the street was the rustle of the wind blowing through the treetops.

Under the streetlight in the distance, there was a tall and thin figure standing, holding a suitcase in his hand, looking in the direction of No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

It's Lupine.

"Since you're here, why don't you come into the house?" Regulus stepped forward and asked.

"I think it's better not to disturb you. You should have a lot to say clearly." Lu Ping smiled.

After Lupine hesitated for a moment, he lowered his voice and said seriously: "Actually, I'm here to say goodbye. There was a werewolf attack in Wales recently. I have to go investigate..."

Before he finished speaking, Regulus opened his demonic vision, glanced around, then pulled Lupin and apparated to the roof of the building.

Under the cover of darkness, no one could spot anyone on the roof of the fifth floor.

"Wales? I remember that Greyback doesn't seem to live there, and..." Regulus looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with stars, but the first quarter moon had already sunk below the horizon. "There is still a week before the full moon."

"This is the strange part. In fact, I have been studying him for a long time. He and his men have no fixed residence. Whenever it is close to the full moon, they will approach the target with premeditation to ensure the success rate of the attack. . But usually, they will hide it through various means." Lu Ping's voice was as solemn as his expression.

"So it's not his style this time? Do you think someone ordered him to do this?" Regulus asked keenly.

"I believe that I know something about Greyback. Back then..." Lupine coughed a few times and continued, "He will not obey other people's orders, except for one person... Dumbledore told me something... …”

The last few words were incoherent, but Regulus felt the pressure on Lupine from his tone.

"Then good luck."

Lupine looked at Regulus and said solemnly: "About Padfoot, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

"That's right." Lu Ping smiled self-deprecatingly, "I forgot, you are... I'm leaving first..."

Lupine Apparated downstairs, walked to the curb, raised his wand, and summoned the Knight Bus.

Regulus stood in the darkness on the rooftop, watching the Knight Bus appear and disappear.

He looked up at the night sky, where the red stars glowed brightly above his head.

Early the next morning, Sirius was still hungover, but Regulus had already arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, preparing to go to Diagon Alley to buy some things.

The wanted order for Sirius still existed, but people seemed to be in a much better mood, and there were more customers in the Leaky Cauldron.

After all, he had been out of prison for a while and no one had seen him.

Regulus ordered himself a glass of firewhiskey and sat in the corner listening to people's chatter.

"He must have drowned in the sea a long time ago. I have been to Azkaban. Even if I escape, I can't escape to land without a wand!" A bearded wizard pointed at the wanted notice on the wall and said angrily.

"What are you doing in Azkaban? Washing dishes for dementors?" A lean wizard next to him mocked mercilessly.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The bearded man looked a little angry and was about to beat up the thin man, but was stopped by another person.

The man pointed to the door, and a wizard in his 50s walked into the bar.

The wizard looked very strict, which could be seen from his neat clothes, shiny leather boots, neatly parted hair and carefully trimmed mustache.

Behind him was an assistant, a round-faced witch. Unlike the wizard, the witch seemed a little careless. When following the wizard through the bar, she accidentally knocked herself on the corner of the table.

"What are you afraid of him for? He is not the head of the Legal Enforcement Department now! Can he take us back again?" After the wizard left through the back door, the bearded man complained sternly to his partner.

"Have you heard? He's been having a hard time recently, and foreign wizards have disappeared while traveling in the UK. The Ministry of Magic is very worried about dealing with these things." Another old man joined the conversation.

"This may be an opportunity for him. Mrs. Bones was temporarily suspended due to Blake's escape from prison. Maybe Barty Crouch thinks this is an opportunity for him to make a comeback..." A middle-aged wizard said shrewdly.

"Only he can deal with those foreigners. It is said that he knows 150 languages, such as mermaids, turkeys, trolls..." the thin man said with admiration.

"What's difficult about troll language? I can do it!" the bearded man said disdainfully.

"Aren't you just a troll?"

"court death!"

Before the chaos in the Leaky Cauldron began, Regulus drank the firewhiskey in one gulp, walked quickly through the bar, and arrived at Diagon Alley.

Not far away, at the entrance of Florin's cold drink shop, an old witch holding a red handbag and wearing a moth-eaten old vulture on her head was scolding a round-faced boy. It seemed that the boy accidentally spilled the ice cream.

Regulus paid no attention to them. His target was a pet store called "Magical Zoo".

Because Lupine suddenly left London to investigate the werewolf incident, he probably wouldn't be able to come back in a short time, and he himself had to go to work at Hogwarts.

As a result, Sirius could only keep company with Kreacher and the portraits of his ancestors every day.

This is indeed too much torture for a member of the Black family. There is no guarantee that one day he will have an emotional outburst again and run away from home again.

Perhaps buying a small animal to take home can distract him from some energy and provide some companionship.

"I hope it works."
