Chapter 414: Sirius, the Dog Among Dogs
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
Sun Zhu had not seen Sirius again since she broke up with him on bad terms in Hogsmeade.Although I really planned to go find him during this holiday, seeing him here suddenly was a bit unexpected.
"Sirius!" Hermione waved, "Why are you here?"
"Harry went to Ron's house, and Mrs. Weasley was taking care of them. I was wondering if you also wanted to go there and play?" Sirius looked at Sun Zhu, "I happened to know that you and Zhu were together, so I asked her I have something to do, just wait here."
"How did you know Hermione and I would be here today?" Sun Zhu said in a dull tone.
"Just ask the Diggory boy." Sirius waved his hand, "How about it, do you want to go?"
Sun Zhu looked at the safe-like box in his hand, and then at the crowded Diagon Alley, feeling very speechless.
Is such an important thing carried in such a careless hand?Are you still running around with two students?
Hermione hesitated for a moment, but shook her head: "Actually, it's Diagon Alley where my mother brought me. She must still be waiting for me at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Please say hello to them for me. I'll see you after the holiday." .”
Sirius nodded: "Okay, I'll send you to meet your mother first."
Sun Zhu held Hermione in his arms while walking away while glaring at his box. He just laughed cheekily.
When she saw Mrs. Granger, she was sitting in the corner of the bookstore, looking curiously at the book in her hand.After greeting her, she was surprised to recognize Sun Zhu: "I remember you, little girl. That time at the ski resort, you and your father... yes, we met, and then..."
"Mom." Hermione hugged her arm, "We are really destined to meet Senior Sister Sun. We met before we entered school. She has always taken good care of me in school."
Unlike Hermione, as Muggle adults, the Grangers' memories related to magic have naturally been erased.Apart from the impression of Sun Zhu's face, he actually didn't remember that she and her father had saved them.
But the lack of memory did not diminish her enthusiasm, and after Hermione and Sirius explained it, Granger gave up the idea of inviting them to his home and left Diagon Alley with Hermione.
This is probably one of the few places in the wizarding world that Muggles can enter, but they are also Muggle insiders who have wizards at home.
"Where are we going next? Grimmauld Place?" Sun Zhu put his hands into his coat pocket.
She and Hermione arranged to meet at noon, and it didn't take much time to get to St. Mungo's.The sky at this time was only slightly darker, and the sun had not completely set.
"Of course, it's safe and secluded there." He nodded, "Do you need me to tell your father how you planned to go back?"
Sun Zhu waved his hand: "With what I gave you, it will only take a moment to destroy the soul piece. After that, I will have time to go home."
"I heard that you are learning the Patronus Charm. How is your progress? If you learn it, I will teach you how to use it to send a message to your father." Sirius didn't know what to say.
Sun Zhu sat on the back seat of his motorcycle and said expressionlessly: "If everything goes well today, I will be able to make a breakthrough in the progress of my Patronus Charm. Do you understand what I mean?"
After all, the Horcruxes were all gone, how could she be unhappy?The patron saint must show up to show his face.
However, judging from the size, it is unlikely to be a raptor such as a golden eagle or eagle.It's not like her patron saint is an owl, right?
Sirius laughed loudly: "Generally speaking, something might go wrong, what do you think?"
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth! Your patron saint isn't a crow, is it?"
"Of course not. Don't you know, many people's patron saints are the same as Animagus. I am no exception."
"Ahaha, no harm, but in this case, you are really a dog among dogs."
"That's a pretty good compliment to me."
When it followed him to the basement of Black's old house, Kreacher was guarding the door. It looked at Sun Zhu with resentful eyes and kept saying: "There is no way...Old Kreacher tried, Master Regulus let him Useless Kreacher destroys it, but Kreacher can't do it! Oh, Master! Old Kreacher is so damned..."
"Okay, just go to the door and watch." Sirius waved his hand, "When you have time, go clean the room on the east side of the third floor. Moony Face will be back in a while, and I will let him live here."
Kreacher cursed and left, and Sun Zhu sighed, staring at Sirius' seemingly careless movements.
She took a step ahead of him, took out the gold cup and the locket from the box, and then patted him: "Didn't you tell me that the locket can affect people's mood and amplify the negative? Stop thinking about other things and put The contents of this locket were destroyed to avenge your brother.”
Her necklace could protect her from the influence of the locket, so she simply stretched out her hand to him: "If you can't, then I will. But I think you must be planning to avenge him personally, right?"
Sirius glanced at her and asked, "How much do you know about Rael?"
"...I don't know anything." Sun Zhu closed his mouth and squatted aside.
Instead, he smiled, sweeping away the gloom: "You know everything."
"...Do the right thing!"
He slowly took out some injection-like things from the box, and Sun Zhu recognized the liquid inside as the basilisk venom she had given him before.
"You asked your people to do a lot of research on it? Is there any effect?"
"The specific results will depend on today's experiment." He looked very calm. "Dumbledore found me a professor who is very knowledgeable about potions and souls. He is a Slytherin." The previous dean also taught me and..."
"Professor Slughorn?" Sun Zhu blurted out.
Sirius had an expression of "you know it all" and continued: "He said that he made a mistake in this matter, although I don't think he needs to blame himself too much. Then he studied these and wanted to know about the basilisk. Which potion should be combined with the venom to have the greatest effect? These two are his final results."
He tapped two tubes of liquid that seemed to have no difference at all to Sun Zhu: "While melting the soul, it resists black magic attacks and does not cause any damage to the body of the soul."
Sun Zhu nodded, knowing that they actually wanted to rely on the effects of the golden cup and the locket to test how to safely remove the piece on Harry's body.
This is the real reason why they haven't taken action on the Horcrux they obtained.
"Unfortunately, these two are not living entities. They are dead objects without souls." Sun Zhu said: "The experimental results may not meet expectations, and the reference value is limited."
Sirius raised his eyebrows: "How will you know if you don't try?"
"Sirius!" Hermione waved, "Why are you here?"
"Harry went to Ron's house, and Mrs. Weasley was taking care of them. I was wondering if you also wanted to go there and play?" Sirius looked at Sun Zhu, "I happened to know that you and Zhu were together, so I asked her I have something to do, just wait here."
