Chapter 977 I just want to make a Horcrux

In order to celebrate the successful graduation of the children from Hogwarts, Mrs. Weasley specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. She invited many people, including Sirius, Cedric and Lovegood who lived on the other side of the village. One family.

Even before dinner started, Hermione's family arrived.

Hermione's father, Mr. Granger, drove into the village of St. Catchpole, full of curiosity about the place.

Although he had been to Diagon Alley and King's Cross Station, famous attractions in the wizarding world more than once, this was his first time visiting a village where wizards lived.

Especially after seeing the Burrow, the crooked architectural style that couldn't even be stacked with building blocks made Mr. Granger stay in place.

He blinked blankly and looked at Mr. Weasley, who was petting his car.

"I heard that there are people who are not wizards living here. Do they...never find this place strange?"

When he said this, his eyes subconsciously fell on another house not far away.

Looking at it from his current perspective, the house seemed so normal.

There is no attic that is crooked and glued together, and there is no strange-shaped roof. It is so normal that it does not look like a place where wizards live.

"Don't worry, there are Muggle expulsion spells where wizards live, and they can't see them." Mr. Weasley said without looking back: "Oh, this car is great, can it fly?"

Mr. Granger proved it again before he could recover from his last surprise.

He was driving a car, not a plane, how could he————

"I had a flying car before, but it was a pity that it was abandoned in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts."

These words made Mr. Granger's brain freeze for a moment, but he soon remembered that Hermione seemed to have told him about this before, saying that her classmate missed the train and ended up driving a flying car. The car went to Hogwarts.

But that was many years ago.

While the two adults were chatting, Hermione had already run to find Ginny.

The Burrow has never been so lively. With nearly twenty wizards and one Muggle, even the garden seemed a bit crowded.

But everyone was happy, especially Mr. Granger, who would have stayed one night before going back if the rooms at the Burrow hadn't been limited.

After dinner, everyone parted ways in the garden.

Mr. Weasley watched helplessly as the car drove away from the village again, and Harry left the Burrow with Sirius and returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Kyle is closest to home, right next door.

He had been waiting for Sirius to come to him and ask for Snape's address, but several days passed.

He never came.

On the contrary, it was Snape who took the initiative to come to the door one day and found Sirius who was about to open a store in Diagon Alley. After receiving the news from Lupine, Kyle did not hesitate and came to Grimmauld Place as soon as possible.

Although Voldemort is dead, the magical protection here still exists, so Kyle can only apparate to a nearby abandoned public phone box.

When he walked out, there were already many familiar faces nearby.

Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, Fred, George--·

His dad, Chris, also came, and Kyle saw him talking to Mr. Weasley.

"What happened!" Kyle walked over quickly, "Why are you all outside? Is there a fight inside?"

"I don't know." Fred frowned, "I don't know who locked the door. None of us can get in. We can only wait here."

"It's Sirius—"

Everyone looked at Lupine.

"You mean, Sirius took the initiative to lock the door to prevent Snape from escaping?" Fred's voice was filled with excitement.

George even pressed his face against the window next to the door, trying to see a little bit of what was going on inside, but even though he almost squeezed his facial features together, he couldn't see anything.

"I don't know if it was to trap Snape——" Lupine sighed, "Originally I wanted to stay, but Sirius refused."

"They're not really going to fight, right?" Fred suddenly raised his head.

"Why do you say that?"

"Look -" he analyzed seriously: "Remus is not allowed to participate because Snape is no longer a Death Eater. If he is killed, the Aurors will definitely come - "

Having said this, he suddenly looked at Tonks in the crowd and Kingsley who had just come over.

It sounds like they are Aurors, and one of them is the director of the Auror Office.

This is really convenient. As soon as the battle in the room is over, the Auror can arrest the person immediately without having to wait.

Kingsley was also a little confused.

Fred was right, Snape was no longer a Death Eater, and killing him would definitely violate the Wizarding Laws.

What's even more troublesome is that Snape is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix and helps them deliver a lot of news. He is considered a hero hiding in the dark...well, half a hero.

Sirius is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

If they really fight, who should they help?

Still not helping each other.

Kingsley stood there, a little confused.

But Tonks has no such worries. She is related to the Black family, and Lupine and Sirius are best friends. Therefore, even if Snape is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she will unswervingly stand by him. Sirius's side.

He has already started thinking about how to naturally hold Kingsley back and give Sirius a chance to escape.

Kyle was also thinking, but the content was exactly the opposite of Tonks. He was thinking whether Snape's capture would affect Connor.

Probably not, after all, Connor didn't come here with him.

In addition, since Snape would choose to come to the door on his own initiative, he wouldn't be stupid enough to kill Sirius here.

Even if they really fought, he would probably choose to run away directly instead of fighting Sirius.

"Wait, you won't believe his nonsense, will you———"

Seeing that Kingsley and Tonks, the two Aurors, were all lost in thought, Lupin quickly said: "I think Sirius just has something to say to Snape—·

"After all, if he really wanted to fight Snape, he couldn't have left Harry behind, right? "

Everyone then realized that Harry was also in the room.

"Why didn't you say so earlier--"

Fred and George showed a hint of disappointment on their faces, while Kingsley breathed a sigh of relief. "Sorry, I just found out too." Lupin said with a twitch of his mouth.

"You guys, are you still going to stay here? Or go back to the Ministry of Magic, I don't think so many people will be needed."

"Forget it, since we are here, let's wait a few days." Kyle said first.

He has been so relaxed these days. He doesn't need to worry about Voldemort suddenly rushing out to give him a wand, nor does he have to go to class. Hagrid is responsible for taking care of several dragons, and Rosier is in charge of the Horcruxes---"-He is completely liberated.

These days, Kyle has been staying at home busy with another thing, and occasionally goes to Diagon Alley to relax.

By the way, when the Death Eaters were at their most rampant, his shop was closed for a while.

But now it is reopened, but Dobby has finished his part-time job and returned to Newt, and the new clerk is found by him from the Hogwarts kitchen.

Originally, house-elves would not easily leave the family they serve, because it means betrayal in their cognition, but thanks to Kyle's identity as a Hogwarts professor, the elves agreed without any hesitation.

When this matter was mentioned last night, Hermione was particularly interested.

After graduation, Hermione restarted the work of the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association, but this time her focus changed.

She no longer forced the house-elves to collect rewards, but wrote an article that wizards should treat house-elves well.

The so-called reward is no longer Sickle and Galleon, but more abundant food and handy tools.

How to say it, although this article can only be seen in "The Quibbler", it is said that she has received several letters.

Half of them scolded her, but the other half affirmed her point of view.

This greatly encouraged Hermione, at least she had supporters, instead of everyone opposing her like in Hogwarts.

Kyle blinked and stopped thinking about it.

After a brief discussion, everyone was still waiting outside, listening carefully to the noise in the house.

Some people even took out their wands, ready to force the door open as soon as they heard a sound.

But the house was very quiet from beginning to end, and even the retractable ears that the Weasley brothers were proud of did not hear any sound.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened from the inside with a bang.

George, who was eavesdropping on the door, was unable to stand firmly for a moment, and he knelt firmly and bumped into Snape's arms.

At this moment, it seemed that even the wind stopped.

After a heart-wrenching silence, George was the first to react. Before Snape's arm swung over, he bent sideways, pretended to be nonchalant, and picked up an ear-like object on the ground.

At the same time, he also avoided Snape's arm and cloak.

"Oh, here it is. No wonder I haven't found it yet. I have to go and see if it's broken—" He said some incomparable words, walked forward quickly without looking back, and soon disappeared on the other side of the corridor.

Snape's face was livid.

But looking at the people standing outside, he still said nothing. He snorted coldly and disappeared on the spot.

"In front of so many people, where Muggles can see it?" Tonks didn't like Snape, even now.

So she deliberately used a loud voice when she said this, making sure Kingsley could hear it clearly. Kingsley did hear it, but he chose to pretend not to hear it.

It was just using Apparition. Even if Muggles saw it, it was not a big deal. The people of the Incident Reversal Team could solve it in a second.

What's more, there were no Muggles on this road.

Because he was worried that they might fight, Kingsley had evacuated all the Muggles nearby 20 minutes ago and cast a Muggle Repelling Charm around.

More than a decade ago, it was also Sirius and Peter Pettigrew, whose chase blew up an entire Muggle street.

He didn't want such a thing to happen again.

But this made it convenient for Snape, as no Muggle saw his Apparition.

Tonks muttered something in a low voice, as if complaining about someone neglecting his duties, abusing his power for personal gain, etc.

Kingsley still pretended not to hear.

"You—" Sirius stood at the door, looking at the people outside, and was a little speechless for a while. After a long while, he stammered:

"I didn't expect—.. Come in and sit down.

"No." Kingsley shook his head, "I have other things to do, let's do it next time."

After saying that, he apparated away.

With him were Tonks, also an Auror, and Mr. Weasley and Chris, who were still at work.

They all hurried over after receiving the news. Now that they are fine, they naturally have to go back to work as soon as possible.

But Kyle stayed, he happened to have something to see Sirius.

The two walked into the house, and sure enough, Harry was there.

I don't know what they just said to Snape. Harry was sitting on the chair in the hall in a daze and didn't even notice anyone else coming.

"He————-um————" Sirius looked at Kyle, wanting to explain, but seemed to have some concerns.

"It's okay, you don't need to explain to me, I can probably think of it." Kyle said.

Snape came to see Sirius—no, it should be said that he came to Harry only because of Lily Evans.

As for what they said specifically, Kyle didn't know and wasn't interested.

Fred and George also stayed, and they were cheering Harry up in their own way - George lit a Weasley magic firework and stuffed it into Harry's shoe.

A few seconds later, two flames suddenly appeared under Harry's feet, and he flew up like a rocket.

Just for a moment, he stopped being in a daze and started screaming and running around the room.

"Sorry, Sirius." Fred said with a smile, "We just think Harry should cheer up."

"And you can rest assured that our Weasley magical fireworks have gone through rigorous testing and are guaranteed to be safe -"

Before he finished speaking, Harry drifted in mid-air and hit a piece of moth-eaten velvet cloth.

"Bastard, the scum of the Black family——"

Mrs. Black's screams began to echo through the house.

"Well - occasionally there will be some hiccups." George said with an expression, "But Harry is definitely fine."

"Okay." Sirius rubbed his forehead, acquiescing to their behavior.

In fact, he also wanted Harry to divert his attention as soon as possible.

Now it seems that although Fred and George's method is a bit unreliable, it does work in a sense. Let them go.

Afterwards, he took Kyle to the basement.

"I received your letter last night." Sirius said as he walked. "You asked me to help you find a collection of books involving soul magic. I didn't have time to find it before. Snape came at the wrong time."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you agree to let me borrow the Black family's private library." Kyle said.

"Of course it's no problem, you can use it as you like, even if you move all those books, it's no problem." Sirius said without hesitation, "It's just that why are you looking for magic involving the soul? Of course, I don't mean anything else, it's just that most of the magic It’s all black magic, it’s better for you to have less exposure to it.”

"It's nothing." Kyle said, "I just want to try to make a Horcrux."
