Chapter 864: The Marauder's Style
Sirius didn't speak, glaring at Hermione all the time.
Sirius was a little upset that Hermione had told her what his godson Harry had told her, but he couldn't do it openly for the sake of the scene - until Hermione noticed his gaze.
Hermione sighed a little annoyed and began to explain: "Don't worry, Sirius, I don't think Headmaster Dumbledore has asked Harry to keep his mouth shut about me or explain that he just wants to tell Alan through my mouth in this way, although he and Alan have conflicts on many things and make it difficult for him to share this information personally, but at least they have the same goal of dealing with the mysterious man, in fact, I think Dumbledore is more reluctant to let Alan know about these things, he might... Maybe he's even more reluctant to let you know that he hasn't told you, hasn't he? Maybe he's worried that you'll make the mystery man wary of the mystery by saying something about it... It's like why Eren asked you to make a contract to bring you here... They're all worried about you."
Once again, Hermione was good at keeping her opponent speechless for a long time, and Sirius's heart-piercing muttering made him sound a little like Ron's tone, "I... I just think you know too much about Horcruxes, and that's not something you should know at your age. β
"No, I don't think it should be. Hermione shook her head in disagreement, "The mystery man has gone crazy and lost his mind because of his ignorance of this knowledge, I myself was born in Muggles, and I still remember my yearning and ignorance of the wizarding world after receiving the notice, but after learning a lot of things in Alan in the past few years that I couldn't learn in school, I found that many things are completely different from what I originally learned from books... I knew about Horcruxes and their dangers, at least better than the mysterious people knew about them, so I never had the will or the guts to try to make it... I think the tragedy of this is the conservative style and the influence of your pure-blood family in traditional ways... What Alan wants to do is make a difference in the first place. β
"Huh... Hermione is right, Sirius, all I have to do now is to change all this..."Alan was a little surprised that Hermione could still be justified in bringing this matter to his own reforms, and he quickly agreed with her statement.
"Aren't you afraid of raising some more powerful Dark Lords?" Sirius was still influenced by his family and Dumbledore on this point, and he still didn't quite agree.
"But ordinary wizards, most people are also trained to be more powerful, aren't they?" Hermione continued to retort, "Think about it, if ordinary people learn some spells that can be easily lethal, those bad people will think more twice before doing evil, no matter how powerful the mysterious person is, but in the face of the situation that ordinary wizards are capable of using an effective life-seeking spell when they are forced to do so, he will no longer dare to act so unscrupulously and blatantly..."
"That's an unforgivable curse! You shouldn't... Forget it, let Dumbledore and you settle this matter..."Sirius shrugged, then turned his mind to the matter at hand, "Alan, you'll have to help me talk to your second brother Lunn when I go back, and help me with my rehabilitation, or you know the efficiency of bureaucrats like the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Wizengamot... My own business dragged on for a while... Also, I'm going to have to go to your wizarding TV station and order commercials for a while to let everyone know that my brother is a hero!"
"Siriusβ" Alan whispered his name, and he shook his head, "I don't think Regulus can be rehabilitated right now, and what happened here today, as it was written on our deal, you have to keep your mouth shut." β
"Why? Youβ" Sirius was stunned for a moment before he reacted to Alan's refusal, and he scratched his long, unkempt hair with his hand, "It's different! It's about my brother, not Kreacher!, why do you want me to make such a deal?!"
"Do you want Regulus' efforts to be in vain?" Allen's words made Sirius's expression froze.
"What do you mean by that?" Sirius growled incomprehensibly, with a terrible gloom on his face.
"Sirius, Regulus made such a huge sacrifice just to deal with the Mystery, and now that the Mystic has not been fooled, we just took it away, wouldn't it be in vain to waste Regulus's hard work, so that his efforts and sacrifices were all in vain. Hermione shook her shaggy hair, "Dumbledore and Eren are both looking for and trying to destroy the Horcruxes of the Mysteries of the Mysteries, if you know more about this now, the Mysteries will be prepared for this, which will make it more difficult for Alan and them to destroy the Horcruxes." β
With her words, the hot-headed Sirius finally calmed down.
"So you just collected the venom for now?" Sirius said as he looked at the empty stone basin, "You're going to restore it later?"
"I'm trying to restore it, but collecting venom is just out of my personal preference for potions, and I just want to take it back and analyze the ingredients. Alan patted the kettle lightly.
"What are you going to do with the poison in there?" Sirius' dark gray eyes gave a look of confusion.
"How about some powerful laxatives?" Alan took out the colorless and transparent powerful laxatives from his waist bag and put them on the stone basin, seeing Sirius's somewhat suspicious expression, he explained, "Originally, Aunt Josephine asked me to make some to bring to her subordinate, Mr. Amos Diggory, who both worked in the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control... You should know about him, he is known for his love of showing off his son Cedric and severe constipation. β
When Hermione heard the powerful laxative, she couldn't help but think of the yellow-brown mess she saw when Ron and Draco were beaten in the Forbidden Forest... For a while, her throat was a little itchy, and she almost wanted to gag, she coughed a few times, smoothed her chest, and finally suppressed the nausea: "Alan, you are not serious, are you? This kind of prank..."
"You want to swap the venom for a powerful laxative?!" Sirius thought of the mysterious man everyone feared or his Death Eaters lying in front of the stone basin with their stomachs clutched, and a smile came to his originally gloomy face, "If Jaime knew, he would gladly agree, it's in line with our marauders! How powerful is it?"
"The recipe itself is derived from the failed product of the Weasley twins...", Alan smirked at Sirius and raised an eyebrow, "The reason for the failure is that they think it's too powerful, and it's far more than... The category that pranks should have... The reason why I don't give it to Mr. Diggory now is because the current medicine is too effective... I think you know what I mean..."
"Don't say it...", this question resurfaced in Hermione's mind, and she finally couldn't help retching a few times, and after she calmed down, she said, "Sirius, don't ask! He'd seen the power of powerful laxatives with his own eyes..."
"Remus? Sirius was a little surprised at how his friend had something to do with it.
"Oh no! I'm sorry you can't ask Professor Lupin! I promised the client to keep it a secret!" Hermione, who realized that she had said something, rubbed her fingers uneasily, and her expression was serious, and she deliberately remembered a reason to admonish, "Sirius, you can't reveal this matter yourself, we can't let your brother Regulus's efforts go to waste! I don't want you to break the contract with Allen, you know what to do right, right?"
"I remember the deal, but you deliberately hung people's appetites and didn't let people ask... It's quite infuriating..."Sirius's curiosity was not diminished at all, but due to the power of the contract, he could only nod his head in agreement.
