299 New Auror and thanks (6k)

In early 1965, Fenrir Greyback had killed two Muggle children and was brought to the Ministry of Magic for questioning.

However, the interrogators did not know that Greyback was a werewolf - the werewolf registry at that time was poorly maintained, and almost no werewolves volunteered to be examined - under the disguise of Greyback, the committee's interrogators only regarded him as a werewolf. Although he was a Muggle tramp, only Lyle Lupin (Remus' father) discovered something was wrong through careful observation, but when he expressed his concerns, it was other interrogators who Laughing at him.

Lyle Lupine was angry about this. He loudly said that "werewolves are evil creatures. They have no souls and can only bring death." However, despite this, Greyback was released and Lyle was expelled. Leave the room.

After that, Greyback escaped the fate of having his memory wiped out with the help of two accomplices (because he was originally a Muggle and was not allowed to know things related to magic), successfully escaped, and planned to Lyle retaliates.

He succeeded.

Shortly before Remus Lupin's fifth birthday, Greyback sneaked into his bedroom and attacked him, completely transforming Remus into a werewolf.

After that, in order to prevent the neighbors from discovering Remus' strangeness, his parents moved several times. They tried to control Remus not to hurt others when he turned into a werewolf, and also taught him to read at home because they did not feel that Remus was a strange person. Miss was worthy enough to go to Hogwarts, and no one would agree to that.

Until Dumbledore suddenly appeared.

After attacking Remus, Greyback boasted that he was secretly looking for the spy planted by Dumbledore among the dark creatures. Dumbledore heard the news, and then he found Remus despite the Lupins' obstruction. And promised to allow him to go to Hogwarts.

At this time, Meadows continued: "But as I just said, these are just speculations. We have no way of knowing whether Voldemort thinks this way. No one can know his real plan."

"However, the Ministry of Magic responded quickly. The minister could not turn a blind eye to the werewolf riot. Soon Aurors would be sent to Hogsmeade - after all, this is the only pure wizarding village in the UK. Every weekend There will also be a large number of students coming from Hogwarts."

"I will live here too, probably for a long time."

She said and looked at Karan: "But I still recommend that you don't live alone anymore, unless you are confident enough to deal with werewolves that suddenly appear while sleeping."

After the warning, Meadows left.

Snape gave a forced smile to Mrs. Prince who came to ask, reassuring her.

Karan watched this scene silently and sighed softly.

=========

"Collapse!" "Armor protection."

"There are many obstacles!" "Armor protects you."

"All petrified!" "Armor protection."

"Stand still with your legs frozen!" "Armor to protect yourself."

"Oolong comes out of the hole!" "Helmet... repel at full speed!"

The long snake that emerged from the black mist was hit by the repelling spell before it hit the ground. It flew back unwillingly, turned into a ball of black mist, exploded, and disappeared completely.

On the snow behind Gobstone's shop, Snape was holding his knees and panting, while Karan, who was a duel partner, looked calm and didn't even take a breath.

"Let's take a rest first." Karan suggested.

Snape nodded and sat silently on the bench, staring blankly at the snowy scene in the distance.

Ever since he knew that werewolves might attack him, Snape had stepped up his dueling training to cope with the danger that might come at any time.

"Speaking of which, I'm the one who got you all involved."

Karan, holding an ash wand, suddenly said: "Everything started from the Acromantula. Because of this incident, mysterious people will focus on us, but you and Lily were right at the beginning. This is completely uninformed.”

"And Steve and Guspard, it was me who suddenly asked them for help, otherwise they wouldn't have participated in the secret room incident."

Snape did not answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Is this why you decided not to live with us? Because you were afraid of injuring us further?"

Karan nodded sincerely.

"Anyway, I killed all the basilisks. The mysterious man is most likely to blame me for his anger."

"And I haven't lived in Hogsmeade Village for long. I've spent more time living in Hogwarts. In this way, there is no need to live with you anymore."

"Are you kidding?!" Snape suddenly said angrily: "Compared with werewolves, do you think a large group of Acromantulas will be safer? If it was just because we were afraid of danger, Lily and I didn't We must go back to the Forbidden Forest!"

After seeing the half-smiling expression on Kahlan's face, Snape quickly added: "Don't be so pretentious! It's all because Lily can't trust you."

He grabbed the wand and said in a deliberately vicious tone: "Go on!"

"I don't believe I can't beat you even once!"

The deliberately feigned tone had no effect on strengthening the magic power. Snape really never won the duel against Karan.

When he returned to the warm Gobstone Shop, he was limping with both legs. This was the result of Snape twisting his ankle. Callan only needed to keep spinning in circles and cast the Iron Armor Charm to prevent it. Live all his spells.

"This is not fair!"

Snape said angrily: "I shouldn't have asked you to practice. In the end, I was the only one wandering around!"

"Don't be discouraged, Snape." Karan said with a smile: "I haven't used wandless magic yet, and the snowballs piled in advance are not used."

This was no comfort at all.

Snape was thinking of taunting words in his mind, but in the face of the cruel disparity in strength, he just snorted unwillingly.

Due to the werewolf riot, there were inevitably fewer customers in Gobstone's shop, but the fewer customers were children from nearby families. The number of students who came to Hogsmeade during the Christmas vacation was still not that small.

The school did not prohibit students from going out, and not long ago, the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic finally arrived.

They all live in the Three Broomsticks Tavern, and the leader is not Moody, whom Callan is familiar with, but another Auror - Kingsley Shacklebolt.

He is a tall, dark-skinned wizard.He has a deep and slow voice that can calm people down, and he wears a gold earring on one ear.

Kingsley was one of the future members of the reorganized Order of the Phoenix, who, like Mr. Weasley, both worked for the Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, he also went to the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic to save Harry when little Harry was in fifth grade. In addition, he also served as the secretary to the Muggle Prime Minister (very efficient at work and could do twice as much as others). After Moody's death Later he became the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and even dealt with Voldemort with Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn in the final battle of Hogwarts (but could not defeat Voldemort), and became a magician after Voldemort's death. Minister (removed all dementors stationed in Azkaban).

This is a wizard with great potential, but he is still very young now and does not seem to have officially joined the Order of the Phoenix, because he is not in the photo that Moody showed to little Harry.

But this is not absolute, because members of the Order of the Phoenix do not meet often.Aberforth, for example, met Moody only once, and Moody thought he was a strange guy.In addition, Aberforth only maintained a separate contact with Dumbledore, and many people did not know him - including most professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix, who had not had much contact with Aberforth. have met before.

It can only be said that Aberforth was indeed well hidden. In addition, there were too few people of the same generation as Dumbledore, and there was very little contact between the two brothers, making it impossible for others to make any connections.

But regardless of whether he joined the Order of the Phoenix or not, Kingsley still supported and admired Dumbledore - just like most wizards.

Especially recently, a rumor has gradually spread in the wizarding world. Everyone is saying that Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort fears, and he also allowed Voldemort to escape during the showdown at Hogwarts.

In addition, Karan and Snape also met two unexpected people.

Ted Tonks, who has disappeared for a long time, and Andromeda Black.

They suddenly appeared in Gobstone's shop. After seeing Callan and Snape, Ted smiled and waved to them.

Karan carefully inspected their outfits and asked in surprise: "Have you decided to become Aurors?"

Callan only remembered that their daughter, Nymphadora Tonks, became an Auror, and her mentor was Moody.But he didn't remember either of them joining the Ministry of Magic.

"It's still early." Ted said with a smile: "We are currently undergoing training. We have to pass many assessments before we can officially become an Auror. Kingsley is our mentor. Although he is very young, he is very good and unexpected. It’s a little strict.”

"But why do you want to be an Auror?" Karan asked doubtfully. Snape didn't know the two of them very well and just stayed aside and listened quietly.

"This was Andromeda's idea." Ted's expression looked a little helpless, but also a little happy.

Andromeda's attitude towards the two of them was unexpectedly cordial, without any trace of Black's arrogance. She said: "We really just wanted a peaceful life - this is already very difficult for us, I believe you all I’ve heard news: I was expelled from my family.”

She said the last words lightly, like it was no big deal.

Ted pointed at himself, and said in an exaggerated tone: "It's all because of my damn Mudblood charm. It seems like the Black family doesn't really like charming guys like me."

Andromeda burst out laughing, and Ted's expression suddenly became even more exaggerated.

The two single little boys looked at each other speechlessly. They didn't know what was so funny about this. They only felt the malice of the world and the sour smell of love.

"Ted always makes me happy." After laughing for a while, Andromeda continued: "But we later heard some other news and knew that Professor Kettleburn was seriously injured. "

"We have a good relationship with him." Ted added on the side: "When Andromeda and I were dating in the Forbidden Forest, we not only met Larry the Unicorn, but also occasionally met professors in the school. , Professor Kettleburn is always willing to let us go, it seems because he is also a Hufflepuff."

"Coupled with our experiences in the last year of school..." Andromeda's face gradually became ugly, and Ted's face didn't look good either.

In the last semester, first Larry was injured, then Andromeda, and finally Ted was almost killed by Lucius.

"Anyway," Andromeda continued after a pause, "We finally decided to join the Ministry of Magic and become an Auror."

"Principal Dumbledore helped us a lot." Ted continued: "Although our grades are enough, it has been a long time since graduation. I didn't expect that Dumbledore would be willing to help us. Let us not be embarrassed during the interview."

"That examiner named Moody is a bit scary." Andromeda said with sadness: "I would rather face the sister who has become a Death Eater than be stared at by Moody again."

Ted agreed: "Fortunately our mentor is not him, otherwise I would really have to think about it again."

"And one last thing."

Before the two of them could recover from their teasing of Moody, Ted patted them on the shoulders seriously and said in a solemn tone: "I seem to have forgotten to thank you and a few other little guys. . I have heard about what happened last semester. If it weren’t for you, I might really be dead.”

He was referring to the fact that he was surrounded by Acromantulas last semester and fell into a coma again. At that time, the three of Kallan and James met Ted. After going through various "difficulties and obstacles", Kalan and James Lan finally rescued Ted on his own, and was escorted back to the castle in time by James and others.

Karan didn't have much reaction to this, but Snape seemed a little panicked.

This was the first time that someone had thanked him so solemnly, not to mention that he had not played any role at all at that time. He focused all his attention on protecting Lily, and for this reason, he also exposed the fact that he secretly learned black magic.

"Don't be shy."

Ted misunderstood the reason for Snape's panic: "We are here specifically to thank you this time. In addition, don't worry about the werewolves. We will take good care of your shop and will come here often."

Before leaving, he and Andromeda deliberately selected two expensive Gobstone games and declined the discount offered by Mrs. Prince.

"You seem very happy." Snape stared at Karan expressionlessly.

This experience of being inexplicably favored really made him feel weird, but also somewhat familiar.

It's like...he suddenly got a lot of gold galleons and founded this Gobstone shop with Mrs. Prince.

"Would it be nice to see them become Aurors? Of course I would be happy."

Karan said matter-of-factly, and then smiled inexplicably.

"I just didn't expect it."

Callan really didn't expect Ted and Andromeda to decide to become Aurors. He thought they would choose to continue living a peaceful life.

Especially Andromeda, she was worried about Nymphadora's safety after becoming a mother because Dora was an Auror.

But now, the first person to become an Auror became Andromeda herself.

Really good fortune.

That wasn't the only thing Karan didn't expect.

Mrs. Prince was very reluctant to see these two children taking care of her shop. She didn't want them to be "sensible", but she wanted them to live a happier life as students - which was exactly what she had failed to do. , only concentrating on the Gobstone game that no one is interested in, but always making himself depressed.

So the two of them were sent out again.

Callan and Snape stared at each other speechlessly in the cold wind.

"Mrs. Prince really... cares about us." Karan said helplessly.

Snape nodded silently. He did not expect that his depressed mother would change so much after leaving Spider End Alley.

"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks." Karan tightened his grip on his witch robe and suggested, "How about having a cup of butterbeer? Maybe we can meet Ted and the others."

Snape had no reason to disagree. A gust of cold wind blew, and he quickly added: "It's better to be warm."

The two left Gobstone's shop and walked into the snowstorm.

Hogsmeade looked like a Christmas card, with thatched cottages and shops covered in fresh snow, holly wreaths hanging from the doors, and enchanted strings of candles adorning the trees.

You can see a lot of students on the street, but they all look like two of them, walking quickly with their heads lowered and facing the cold wind.

All this finally eased after entering the Three Broomsticks.

The bar was crowded, noisy, hot, smoky, and full of people, including many students.

"It seems that the werewolf riot has not had much impact on the school." Karan rubbed his frozen palms and said, "Everyone seems quite happy."

"That's because they don't have to worry about being attacked." Snape said expressionlessly, and then silently added: "And they are not as [powerful] as you, who can kill so many people at once. Lots of basilisks..."

"Thanks for the compliment." Karan smiled heartlessly.After snorting, Snape stood up and walked to the counter to avoid being angry with Callan.

While Snape was buying butterbeer, Karan looked around the bar, and then suddenly met a pair of slightly nervous, restless and excited eyes.

The two people whose eyes met were stunned.

At the other end of the bar sat Regulus. He seemed to have just recovered and was very interested in everything in Hogsmeade. At the same time, he was a little cautious about sneaking out of the castle. Even I didn't even notice the foam on my upper lip.

The guy sitting opposite Regulus threw a tissue in disgust, but even with such an expression on his face, this guy still looked so handsome, and at the same time, he showed his face openly in the bar. There is no awareness at all that he is violating school rules.

That's Sirius.

That is Sirius Black.

When Snape came back with two mugs of frothy hot butterbeer, it took a lot of effort for Snape not to smash the beer mug in his hand directly into that damn face.

"Why are you here?"

He ignored Regulus, who also shouldn't be here, and asked the frowning Sirius in a cold voice: "How dare you blatantly violate school rules and secretly come to Hogsmeade?"

"What?" Sirius raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up mockingly: "Are you going to complain to the teacher? Or are you just going to cry?"

Karan didn't pay attention to the two people who were about to fight. He was asking Regulus a very important question.

"So, Mrs. Norris has also recovered?"

Regulus nodded reluctantly: "Yes, it recovered on the same day as me."

No student at Hogwarts would like the informant who partners with Filch.

Karan doesn't like it either. After all, the Marauder's Map has returned to his hands, and he always looks for opportunities to continue exploring the castle at night.

Just when he was asking questions, Sirius and Snape were really about to fight. Both of them took out their wands and pointed at each other fiercely.

"Restrain yourself." Karan stretched out his hand to stop us: "Don't let us be kicked out by Miss Rosmerta, then only the Pig's Head Bar will allow us to sit for a while. Believe me, you won't like it there, the Pig's Head Bar is better than three The broom is much dirtier.”

Of course, in addition to the Pig's Head Bar, there is also Mrs. Puddifer's Tea House to go to, but that is a favorite place for lovers, and Karan has no intention of asking for trouble.

But this time, Snape did not listen to Callan's advice. Naturally, Sirius would not obey the orders of Callan, his "rival". He just glanced at Callan lightly, and then moved away from the table silently. A certain distance to avoid being knocked over by the wine glass on the table.

It was obvious that he had become wary of Karan's wandless magic.

Karan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to see Regulus and Sirius in the Three Broomsticks, let alone that they would be together. It seemed that the conflict between the two had been resolved unknowingly. It is probably related to the incident where Regulus was attacked by a mysterious man.

Moreover, the person who was invited first was not Karan, but Regulus. He heard about Karan's experience in the secret room.Now that he was doubtful about Voldemort's ideas because he was hospitalized, he couldn't help but want to ask for more details. Sirius followed him only under no circumstances.

Seeing that the conflict between the two became more and more intense, sparks appeared on the tip of the wand, and many guests even looked over with suspicion. Karan sighed helplessly, and at the same time, Regulus found that the wine glass in front of him was mostly empty. Suddenly he moved in the direction of Sirius.
