Chapter 208 Slughorn's Invitation
Lupine had been working for a day and lay on the ground exhausted.
"Don't think so much. Even if this matter is found out, it will not be of any benefit to Grindelwald."
"Why should he help us?"
"Don't forget, he is a Slytherin and will not do something that is not good for him."
"That's not necessarily true!" Sirius had learned some information about the saints in the past few days after escaping.
I have a good impression of this organization that serves the interests of British civilian wizards.
Lupine didn't take his words seriously, he just thought he was being harsh.
Waved to silence him.
"The Black family still has a lot of things saved." Sirius said muffledly.
"If...I mean if, if I am willing to give out part of my collection..."
Lupine grunted and stood up, staring at Sirius with burning eyes.
"are you serious?"
"I've thought that it would be too difficult for the two of us to catch Peter." Sirius was a bit reckless, but he was not a fool.
A fugitive and a werewolf, not to mention arresting people from Hogwarts, can walk around Diagon Alley without being discovered. It is because Merlin cast the Disillusionment Curse on them.
If you want to turn around, you can only rely on foreign aid.
But now, they have too little power to rely on.
The Weasley family? I'm not very familiar with it... and it's easy to scare off the enemy.
Order of the Phoenix? No contact for a long time...
Dumbledore? could not be reached……
As for other people... I can't believe it at all!
There is another person who has the ability to help Sirius find Peter, but unfortunately, Lupine and Sirius don't dare to gamble.
They had just been punished at St. Mungo's some time ago, and now they were sent to their door. Who knew what Snape would do to them.
After thinking about it, this saint whom I have never been in contact with seems to have become the best solution.
Whether it is power or reputation, there is sufficient guarantee.
"But we have never had contact with the Saint." Lupine worried: "We may not be able to contact that Grindelwald."
Sirius tugged his hair irritably: "If I had known, I would have contacted him at Hogwarts."
"It was much easier then than it is now!"
"Don't think so much, and rest quickly. In two days, we will set off to accompany you to take a look at Harry. Remember, just take a look."
Lu Ping had been tired for a day and no longer had the energy to think anymore.
Sirius opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
It turned into a sigh.
Unfortunately, the Black Mansion has now been focused on by the Ministry of Magic.
Otherwise, as long as he could go back and get something, he wouldn't be reduced to this situation.
…
Three days later, Saints Manor.
Yagus lay on the lawn covered in sweat, but with a smile on his face.
"Finally upgraded the Patronus Charm to level five."
"I just didn't expect that my patron saint would be it..."
"It seems that the actual Patronus in Harry Potter does not have this form."
"After completing the Patronus Charm, the Dementors at Hogwarts can feel at ease next school year."
It has been some time since Yagus's Patronus Charm reached level 4. He learned it with the bonus of the full-level talent, plus he gained experience in several level 2 Patronus Charms during draws.
I finally broke through to level five today and was able to fully release my patron saint.
"If I remember correctly, the professors at Hogwarts will undergo a major change next school year."
"Hagrid becomes Professor of Magical Zoology, and Lupine becomes the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor..."
"Maybe... I can try and register Lupine as a saint in advance."
Ever since Argus first got news about Lupin, he had been secretly sending people to keep an eye on him.
I know that Lupine has a good impression of the Saints Group and has the idea of joining the Saints Group.
If I could draw him into the Saints before Dumbledore sent him an invitation, I don't know how he would react.
Can one of your own apply to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?
Yagus sat up from the grass.
Anyway, the Saints already have thousands of members and employees in the UK, so it doesn’t matter if we have one more or one less.
But if you can really use an inconspicuous employee to replace the position of a Hogwarts professor, you will make a lot of money!
Just do it!
As soon as Yagus stood up, he saw Vita walking towards him with calm steps.
"Argus, Lucius just sent a house elf to deliver the news. The pure-blood family is ready to take action."
"The action is quite fast. It seems that it has been prepared for a long time. I asked you to keep an eye on the old house of the Crouch family before. How is it going? Did you find anything?"
"We found something wrong. If we didn't observe carefully, we would never have discovered it." Vita nodded.
"I sent a lot of people to take turns keeping an eye on him. Logically speaking, a senior official of the Ministry of Magic like Barty Crouch should be followed by house elves around him at all times."
"But he never seems to take it with him when traveling. I checked his previous information and found that this situation only appeared after his wife passed away."
Sure enough, he hid his son at home!
Yagus understood in his heart, and suddenly fell into thinking again.
What Vita said was reasonable, but unfortunately it was just speculation. Without evidence, Barty Crouch would not admit it.
It might even trigger a vigilant counterattack on his part.
Just like how he dealt with the unlucky Bertha Jorkins from the Ministry of Magic who accidentally discovered his secret...
Bertha Jorkins!
Thinking of this person, a plan slowly emerged in Yagus's mind.
Perhaps, this person will become an important bargaining chip to pry open Barty Crouch's psychological defenses...
"One more thing, Argus!"
Vita took out an invitation from her wizard robe.
"Horace Slughorn wrote to you, inviting you to his tea party."
"The time is tomorrow afternoon, are you going to attend?"
"Go! Prepare a gift for me in advance, Aunt Vita, remember to make it more expensive."
Argus didn't mind this kind of tea party to expand his network.
All the people who can be invited by Slughorn are elites in various industries. Contacting them in advance will be beneficial to the future development of the saints.
What's more, Slughorn gave him a lot of help in Hogwarts, and he is also a top potion master. There will be many places where he can be used in the future.
You can't just turn your face and disown him just because he is not a professor now, right?
Don't forget that he will become the dean of Slytherin again in the future!
"I'll prepare it right away." Vita got the order and turned to leave.
"One more thing, Aunt Vita!"
"There is a person named Bertha Jorkins in the Ministry of Magic, who used to be Barty Crouch's subordinate."
"Send someone to contact her."
