Unfortunately, Dementors almost never leave Azkaban, and today this guy dared to show up in London and even hurt his godson. Sirius felt he had to make a lasting impression on this guy.
The large silver dog was incredibly fast. It lunged forward and bit the Dementor's arm, tearing at it forcefully. The Patronus Charm's ability to control dark creatures was innate, and black smoke quickly began to rise from the point of contact between the Dementor and the dog.
The Dementor screamed and tried to escape, but the large silver dog held on tightly. The Dementor tried to shake the dog off several times, but to no avail.
Finally, the Dementor, in a desperate move, charged towards the sky with all its might, but its arm was ripped off by the silver dog.
Looking at the skeletal arm and the black rag on the ground, Sirius said resentfully, "You got lucky you ran fast!"
Then he took out his phone and called Amelia, who had just returned home. There had been a prisoner escape in Azkaban, and their Department of Magical Law Enforcement was the busiest place.
"Honey, how was your day?" Amelia's mood improved considerably when she heard that it was Sirius calling, and she said with a smile.
Sirius said curtly, "Amelia, there's a Dementor on Privet Drive. Do you know what's going on?"
"What! A Dementor? Are you alright?" Amelia ignored Sirius's attitude and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. But that Dementor attacked Harry Potter, and then I tore off one of its arms and it escaped," Sirius Black said, adjusting his tone.
“What, they attacked Harry Potter?” Amelia was somewhat surprised, but she continued, “I’m sorry, dear, the Dementors are directly under the control of Wizengamor, and we can’t interfere.”
"You probably already know, Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr. have escaped from prison, and Wisengamour has sent Dementors to track them down."
"If Dementors appear in London, it means that Peter Pettigrew and Barty Jr. are also in London. You must be careful."
Sirius Black sneered and said angrily, "Those two bastards, if they dare to show their faces, I will make sure they never leave alive."
“Of course I believe in your abilities.” Amelia’s voice was soft. “But don’t underestimate them, especially Little Barty. He was in the same grade as me and was a very capable guy back in school.”
"And their target is probably Harry Potter. You are Harry's godfather, so you must be careful. How about I arrange for a team of Aurors to protect your safety?"
Sirius thought for a moment and said, "No need. There are only a few days left before school starts. I'll send Harry to Arthur's house first. I don't believe they would dare to go to the Director of Magic's house."
“Okay! Then I’ll have Kingsley lead a team to the vicinity of Arthur’s house and wait for them to come to us. Anyway, we’re going to carry out the recapture operation.” Amelia thought for a moment and then agreed to Sirius’s plan.
Sirius Black initially wanted to take Harry directly to his ancestral home, but only Kreacher, a house-elf, was there. Peter Pettigrew, the guy who knew the location of his ancestral home, also knew that it wasn't particularly safe.
On the other hand, Arthur's situation is quite good. He has enough family members, and Molly took a summer vacation, so he only needs to go to the store one day a week to check the accounts.
At this moment, Sirius noticed that Amelia sounded a little tired. Thinking about his attitude just now and Amelia's concern for him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Amelia, you must have been very busy these past two days."
Amelia smiled on the other end of the phone: "It's nothing. It's my job. I can't rest easy letting two dangerous individuals roam around."
"I'll help you catch those two guys!" Sirius was touched. This girl was truly kind and upright.
Chapter 163 The Dementor (Part 2)
When Harry Potter woke up, it was already the next morning. He found himself at Ron's house. He groggily looked around and quickly saw Ron, Ginny, the twins, Sirius Black...
"Sirius, just now, just now I was attacked by a monster, I..." Harry seemed very excited and quickly recounted his experience.
Sirius patted him on the back and waited for him to finish speaking before saying, "Relax, relax, it's all over now. The thing you encountered was called a Dementor, and it was a guard in Azkaban prison."
Ron, standing nearby, covered his mouth in fright: "My God, Dementors! Those things are incredibly evil. I've only ever heard of them, but I've never actually seen one."
Sirius nodded and said to Harry, "That's right, they are evil creatures that feed on human pleasure, but they are actually under the command of the Ministry of Magic."
“The Ministry of Magic?” Ron exclaimed in surprise. “But if they’re under the Ministry of Magic’s command, why would they attack Harry?”
“They’re not trying to attack Harry. You’ve seen the news, haven’t you? Sirius and Barty have escaped from prison, and the Dementors are actually tracking those two,” Sirius said.
"Why?" Harry asked, puzzled. "They're tracking a fugitive, so why are they on Privet Drive? Could it be...?"
Harry suddenly realized something, and Sirius patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, those two guys might be targeting you."
Harry wasn't scared and quickly figured out the crux of the matter: "Because I killed Voldemort, they want revenge for their master?"
Sirius didn't answer directly, but patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Alright, school starts next week. You stay here for the next few days, and I'll take the Hogwarts Express back to school with you then."
"No need, Sirius, I can manage on my own!" Harry felt that there was no need to trouble Sirius with something as simple as going to school.
Sirius smiled gently, patted Harry's hair, and said, "I was planning to surprise you when school starts, but since that's the case, I'll tell you in advance that I'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester."
"Wow, that's fantastic! Dad told me you're a very powerful wizard, you have to teach us some amazing skills!" Ron exclaimed excitedly.
Harry seemed to ponder this for a moment: "So when you came to Uncle Vernon's house that day and said you were a Hogwarts professor, it was actually true!"
"That's right, so don't overthink it, just get some rest!" Sirius was relieved to have confirmed that Harry was alright, but he still had an appointment to keep.
……
After seeing the news about the prison break in the United States, Su Yu returned to the United Kingdom immediately and met with Sirius Black and Amelia.
According to the original story, Sirius Black escaped from prison because he had hidden his Animagus transformation ability.
But now that everyone knows about Peter Pettigrew's Animagus transformation, why were they still allowed to go? Su Yu must find out.
He first contacted Rita Skeeter, but Rita Skeeter knew very little about this kind of inside information.
After that, Su Yu contacted Sirius Black and asked him to arrange a meeting with Amelia. The three of them met at a high-end restaurant in London.
Su Yu greeted the two of them and then got straight to the point: "Amelia, I want to know, how exactly did Peter Pettigrew and Barty escape from prison?"
Amelia shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not really sure right now, but according to the Aurors' on-site reconnaissance, someone should have gone to rescue them."
As they spoke, Amelia handed several magical photos to Su Yu.
Taking the photo, Su Yu examined it carefully. It was a dark stone cell, and the cell door had obviously been violently torn open.
There were signs of a battle inside and outside the cell, likely between the prison breakers and Dementors. Some Dementors' severed limbs could be seen, as well as several huge claw marks left on the wall.
Regarding these scratches, there were also several close-up photos. Sirius Black also came over and said, "These scratches look a bit like those of a werewolf."
"Not a werewolf, but a vampire!" Su Yu had already made up his mind. He was very familiar with these scratch marks. At the end of the school year, when he fought Dracula, the scratch marks left on the wall were just like these.
"Vampires? How do you know?" Amelia asked curiously.
Su Yu didn't hide anything and told the whole story of how Dracula kidnapped Zhang Qiu's mother last year. Su Yu didn't make it onto Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform) at the time to protect Zhang Qiu.
"So you mean this vampire called Dracula went to Azkaban to rescue Peter Pettigrew and Barty Jr., but why?" Amelia still couldn't figure it out.
Su Yu shrugged: "I don't know, but I guess he might have reached some kind of agreement with Voldemort."
“Voldemort?” Amelia frowned even more deeply. “Isn’t that guy already dead?”
Su Yu smiled and said, "Last year, everyone was saying that Peter Pettigrew was dead, and in the first half of this year, everyone was saying that Barty Crouch Jr. was dead, but what happened?"
Amelia was speechless after Su Yu's words. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Judging from the current movements of the two fugitives, it seems that they are going to find Harry Potter."
Su Yu said directly, "As far as I know, Voldemort is not dead, but his condition is very bad. Harry almost killed him back then, and Harry was probably a necessary part of the effort to bring him back to life."
"So all we have to do now is keep an eye on Harry and wait for those two rats to walk right into our trap?" Sirius said.
Su Yu nodded: "That should be the case!"
Then, after he said that, a system notification appeared: Ding, do you accept the main quest: The Boy Who Survived a Great Disaster 5?
You discover that your good friend Harry Potter seems to be in new danger. As his best friend, please help Harry Potter overcome the crisis and find the mastermind behind it all in the new year. The reward for this mission is +1 Free Skill Point.
Looking at the name of the main quest, Su Yu couldn't help but complain: System, can't you change the name? You don't want to use this name for seven years, do you?
But despite the complaints, the main quest is still a must. If I'm not mistaken, I can get another main quest from Dumbledore when I return to Hogwarts.
"Where is Harry now?" Su Yu asked Sirius.
"I sent him to Arthur's house. Molly isn't working lately, and Amelia has also sent Aurors to protect him, so it's safer that way," Sirius said truthfully.
Upon hearing this result, Su Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then how about we take the train back to school with Harry in a couple of days?"
I need to take leave.
I need to take a day off to properly organize this academic year's syllabus.
Chapter 164 The Third Soul Weapon
In a gloomy, deserted house in London, Peter Pettigrew knelt on the ground, resembling a fat rat, and trembled as he spoke:
"Master, Master! It's not that I didn't try, it's just that there are just too many Dementors. They can always catch up with me by smelling my scent. This time, when we went to catch Harry Potter, we were thwarted by a Dementor!"
Standing opposite Pettigrew was Barty Jr., who seemed to be holding an infant in his arms. However, the infant's appearance was terrifying; it didn't even have a nose. It was Voldemort.
Voldemort's voice was hoarse: "Useless! You can't even catch a second-year wizard. If you can't catch one this time, go and catch another. What are you doing back here?"
"I...I...I..." Sirius was terrified and stammered, "I...I dare not go. Sirius took that boy to the Weasleys, and the Ministry of Magic even sent Aurors to guard him outside."
But Voldemort wouldn't listen to any explanations, and roared, "Now, immediately! Go and catch Harry Potter! I don't care what method you use, if you don't catch him, don't come back!"
"Yes...yes...Master!" Peter Pettigrew was so frightened that he quickly shrunk his body into a mouse and fled as if his life depended on it.
Just then, another voice rang out from inside the room: "Tom, this cowardly fellow is obviously no good. If you want to catch Harry Potter, you need another way."
"Of course I know!" Voldemort said, looking at the man, who was tall and strong with a vertical pupil in one eye—it was none other than Dracula, the vampire.
Voldemort continued, "I sent that guy there just so he could lure those nasty Dementors to Hogwarts."
“I know those monsters. They cause chaos wherever they go, except for Azkaban. Dracula, you can take advantage of the chaos.”
Upon hearing this, Dracula was immediately reminded of some unpleasant memories, and a dull ache appeared in his heart. He said bitterly:
"Tom, I'm not your subordinate. We're just business partners now. I will never set foot in Hogwarts without a guarantee."
“Of course I know…” Voldemort’s voice grew colder, clearly displeased that someone had rejected him: “But you want greater power, don’t you?”
Dracula, however, remained unfazed: "I do desire power, but you seem to have forgotten that my lifespan is dozens of times that of humans. I have ample time to gradually increase my power, and all my actions are predicated on ensuring my safety."
Voldemort's already wrinkled face became even more wrinkled. He stared at Dracula, and Dracula stared back at Voldemort, their vertical pupils flashing with a dangerous light. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat dangerous.
Finally, Voldemort broke the silence first, saying, "Barty, I'll give you three months to learn Animagus transformation. Since our Count Dracula doesn't dare to enter Hogwarts, we'll lure Harry Potter out."
"Yes, Master!" Little Barty licked his lips excitedly and agreed without the slightest hesitation.
……
London, Islington, 12 Grimmauld Place. Su Yu and Sirius stood at the door, Sirius's face still showing shock and disbelief.
He took a deep breath and asked again, "Are you sure? Voldemort's Horcruxes are in my house? And my cowardly brother stole them?"
“Regulus is not a coward; he is even braver than some who only know how to escape reality and hide in Azkaban,” Su Yu mocked Sirius without any politeness.
However, Sirius Black couldn't care less about that at the moment. He continued, "But, but he was Voldemort's fanatical follower. You have no idea how much he admired him back then."
Su Yu glanced at Sirius with disdain: "Who doesn't make mistakes? Can you be sure that everything you did when you were young was right, or can you be sure that everything you do now is right?"
