Chapter 208
After a day of work, Lupin lay on the ground exhausted.
"Don't think too much. Even if this matter is found out, it will not be good for Grindelwald."
"Why should he help us?"
"Don't forget, he is a Slytherin and will not do such a thing that is not good for himself."
"That's not necessarily true!" Sirius has learned some information about the saints in the past few days since he escaped.
He has a good impression of this organization that is in line with the interests of British civilian wizards.
Lupin did not take his words seriously, just thinking that he was being stubborn.
He waved his hand to let him be quiet.
"The Black family still has a lot of things stored." Sirius said in a muffled voice.
"If... I mean if, if I am willing to give up part of my collection..."
Lupin grumbled and got up, staring at Sirius with burning eyes.
"Are you serious?"
"I thought about it, it's too difficult for the two of us to catch Peter." Sirius was a little reckless, but he was not a fool.
A fugitive plus a werewolf, let alone catching someone from Hogwarts, can walk around Diagon Alley without being discovered, all because Merlin cast a Disillusionment Spell on them.
If they want to turn things around, they can only rely on external help.
But now, they can rely on too little power.
The Weasley family? Not very familiar... and it's easy to alert the enemy.
The Order of the Phoenix? Haven't contacted for a long time...
Dumbledore? Can't contact...
As for the others... I can't trust them at all!
There is another person who is also capable of helping Sirius find Peter, but unfortunately, Lupin and Sirius don't dare to gamble.
They had just been beaten up at St. Mungo's some time ago. Now they were sent to Snape's door. Who knows how Snape would torment them.
After thinking about it, this saint who had never been in contact with seemed to be the best solution.
Whether it was power or reputation, there was enough guarantee.
"But we have never been in contact with the saint." Lupin worriedly said: "It is not certain that we can contact that Grindelwald."
Sirius pulled his hair irritably: "If I had known, I would have contacted him at Hogwarts."
"It would be much easier than now!"
"Don't think too much, take a rest quickly, in two days, we will go to accompany you to see Harry, remember, just see it."
Lupin was tired all day and had no energy to think about it.
Sirius opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end.
It turned into a sigh.
Unfortunately, the Black Mansion has now been focused on by the Ministry of Magic.
Otherwise, if he could go back to get something, he wouldn't have fallen to this point.
...
Three days later, Saint Manor.
Argus lay on the lawn covered in sweat, but with a smile on his face.
"Finally, I upgraded the Patronus Charm to level five."
"I just didn't expect that my Patronus would be this..."
"It seems that the Patronus that has been revealed in Harry Potter has not yet taken this form."
"After completing the Patronus Charm, we can rest assured about the Dementors at Hogwarts next school year."
It has been a while since Argus's Patronus Charm reached level four, with the learning under the full-level talent bonus, plus the experience of several level two Patronus Charms obtained in the lottery.
Finally, today he broke through to level five and was able to fully release his own Patronus.
"If I remember correctly, the professors at Hogwarts will undergo a major change next school year."
"Hagrid will become the professor of Magizoology, and Lupin will become the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts..."
"Maybe... I can try to enroll Lupin in the Saints in advance."
Ever since he first got the news about Lupin, Argus has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on him.
He knows that Lupin has a good impression of the Saints Group and has the idea of joining the Saints Group.
If he can pull him into the Saints before Dumbledore sends him an invitation, I wonder how he will react.
Can I let my people apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
Argus sat up from the grass.
Anyway, the Saints already have thousands of members and employees in the UK, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.
But if he can really use an inconspicuous employee to replace a Hogwarts professor, he will make a lot of money!
Do it as soon as he says it!
As soon as Argus stood up, he saw Vita walking in front of him with a calm step.
"Argus, Lucius just sent a house elf to deliver the message. The pure-blood family is ready to take action."
"They are moving pretty fast. It seems they have been prepared for a long time.
, I asked you to keep an eye on the Crouch family mansion before, how is it going? Did you find anything? "
"Something is wrong. If you don't observe it deliberately, you will never find it." Vita nodded.
"I sent a lot of people to keep an eye on it. Logically speaking, a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic like Barty Crouch should always have a house elf with him."
"But he seems to have never brought one when traveling. I checked his previous information and found that this situation only occurred after his wife passed away. "
Did he really hide his son at home?
Argus understood and fell into thinking again.
What Vita said was reasonable, but it was just speculation. Without evidence, Barty Crouch would not admit it.
It might even alert him and counterattack.
Just like when he dealt with Bertha Jorkins, the unlucky person in the Ministry of Magic who accidentally discovered his secret...
Bertha Jorkins!
Thinking of this person, a plan slowly emerged in Argus' mind.
Perhaps, this person will become an important bargaining chip to pry open Barty Crouch's psychological defense...
"One more thing, Argus!"
Vita took out an invitation from his wizard robe.
"Horace Slughorn wrote to you, inviting you to his tea party."
"The time is tomorrow afternoon. Are you going to attend?"
"Go! Please prepare a gift for me in advance, Aunt Vita. Remember to make it more expensive. "
Argus didn't mind this kind of tea party for networking.
All the people invited by Slughorn were elites in various industries. It would be beneficial to the future development of the Saints to contact them in advance.
What's more, Slughorn helped him a lot in Hogwarts, and he was also a top potion master. There would be many places where he would be useful in the future.
You can't just turn your back on someone just because he's not a professor now, right?
Don't forget, he will become the dean of Slytherin again in the future!
"I'll get ready right away." Vita got the order and turned to leave.
"One more thing, Aunt Vita!"
"There's a person named Bertha Jorkins in the Ministry of Magic, who used to be a subordinate of Barty Crouch."
"Send someone to contact her."
