CHAPTER XLII

In the days that followed, Sally was even busier, researching the elves' lineage in addition to finishing the book she had promised to write to the library. She rarely reads history books, but because of this, she flipped through almost all the books related to elves in the school, and finally let her find them. Hundreds of years ago, an elf named Smith accidentally cracked this bloodline, he was an imbecile, should have been executed, his mother couldn't bear it, and floated him down the river, thinking that this weak baby would not survive, but decades later, people found a person in the depths of the forest who was only four years old and had elven characteristics in appearance, but the elves did not sense him, no one knew the reason, until the full moon night he incarnated as a werewolf, people and the elves knew that the baby was bitten by a werewolf, and the werewolf's strong infectious genes covered up the blood of the elves, which is why the elves could not find him。

This matter was gag, and if it weren't for Sally's break and a casual autobiography of an unknown person, perhaps the autobiography of a former student of this college, she wouldn't have known about it. In any case, this is good news.

When James returned, Sally and Hoyt found him and told him about the discovery, but to their surprise, James was not as happy as he had imagined.

"Professor, I have a chance to go out. Hoyt said happily, "Aren't you happy for me?"

James hung his coat on the hanger behind the door, poured another glass of water, and then made it back to the table, looking at a happy Hoyt, he asked, "Hoyt, do you know werewolves?"

"Yes, Sally told me, and I've read books about werewolves. ”

"Very well, you should know that as a werewolf, every year on the night of the full moon there is an extremely painful transformation, when you will be denied by your relatives, become extremely cruel, and be spurned by others. Most importantly. He took a sip of tea. "Your lifespan will be reduced from a few hundred years to about a hundred, and you will be sixty-seven years old now, and if you become a werewolf, then you will only have forty or fifty years to live, or even less. ”

"So, have you figured it out?" said James, earnestly.

"I... "We still need to think about it. Sally interrupted Hoyt.

"Good. James nodded in satisfaction. "So you have to think about this matter, is there anything else?"

"I'm leaving school early, sir. Sally said, "I want to finish my studies at Rychurus early and go back to Hogwarts." ”

"Oh, if I were you, I'd be waiting a few days. James said. Without waiting for Sally to speak, he said, "The Ministry of Magic is in dire need of talent, do you want to give it a try?"

"I'm just a student!" Sally said in surprise, James waved his hand, "Forget it, I've never met a student of the Animagus, if you can take a position in the Ministry of Magic, then you can use magic as you like, just need a little help when he needs help, think about it." ”

The two men left James's office, neither of them speaking. When they returned to the little courtyard where they had been staying, Hoyt spoke, "Why don't you let me promise James?"

"Because I think there's probably another way. She said.

"You're making a fool of yourself. Hoyt said. "You're the only way to do this. ”

There was silence for a while, and a student hurried past them. Sally said, "Well, I'll admit I hesitated, Hoyt, if you're missing hundreds of years of life because of this discovery, I... ”

"You feel guilty and feel that everything is your responsibility. Hoyt finished the rest of the words for her, then sighed. "Sally, have you ever thought that if I don't take this risk, my life span is actually only one day, and that is to keep repeating this day and becoming a werewolf, and I will live the rest of my life for the rest of my forty years, so that I have no regrets, right?"

The blue eyes were full of seriousness, and Sally thought for a moment, "But, what you said that night... ”

"My life is precious, yes, I feel that way even now, so I definitely won't waste him. But that doesn't mean I can't take risks, I'll cherish it, but I won't be reluctant to do anything because of this, and I believe that my mother will support me. ”

"You're a lot like your mom. Sally looked at him and said suddenly. Hoyt was shocked, and Sally continued, "You are all full of courage. With that, she smiled and walked like a classroom.

"Because of you. Hoyt looked at Sally's back and whispered.

"What are you doing? Not yet? Going to be late. Sally said.

"Alas, here it is. Hoyt ran over with a smile on his face.

The next day, they approached James again, and Hoyt was the first to make his position known, as if to be expected of his decision. However, he suggested that it would be too risky for a werewolf to bite Hoyt directly, and he suggested that the wolf's saliva or blood be extracted and then infused into Hoyt's body, and Sally agreed with this suggestion.

"And what about you, Sally?" said James, "what do you think of the advice I have given you?"

"I'd like to know in more detail, James. Sally said, "For example, what will my position be in the Ministry of Magic, and what will it mean for my future?"

"The Ministry of Magic has a special operations team, and the people in it are under the orders of the Ministry of Magic, but for various reasons they cannot be on the list, but because of this, they enjoy higher privileges because they are directly under the orders of the Ministry of Magic's upper echelons. As for the impact on your future, you joined this group with the intention of being able to perform magic before you become an adult, and if you want to officially work in the Ministry of Magic when you become an adult, you only need to go through a set of procedures. But I have to remind you that very few people are willing to turn to formal, because with the exception of the Aurors, formal work fights are boring. Therefore, some people, no matter what reason they entered this group in the first place, they will generally work until they can no longer work, and then find a job to spend their old age. Well.. You know what I mean?"

"Understood. Sally nodded. "So when did you sign up?"

"You don't need to sign up, because there are not many people who are qualified to participate in total, and Hoyt's things will be put aside first, and if you don't come in a hurry, you will be directly tested on the spot after three days, and you can enter directly after passing the customs. James said.

The two left the office, and three days had passed almost instantly, and that afternoon, Sally arrived at James's office, where a large open space had been vacated, and in addition to James, two middle-aged men in black robes sat behind the desk.

They offered to have Sally change shapes, Animagus, and Guardians, and Sally finished, and then the three of them looked at each other, and one of them nodded, and walked out the door, and after a while, brought in a man with a black sack on his upper body and head except for his legs.

"First of all, I want to tell you, Miss Potter, that this is a heinous man who has been sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic. Said the man sitting in the middle who looked like he was in a position of authority. "I ask you to cast the Dementor Curse, the Mind Curse, and Avada Soul Curse on him. Yes, you will be his executioner. ”

Sally looked at the lying on the ground, constantly writhing, her mouth should be blocked by something, and she could only make a whining sound. She didn't kill anyone, that's a fact. She first cast the Soul Charm, the man quieted down, then rolled on the ground twice, the man nodded, then she cast the Drill Heart Curse, the man whined louder, curled up like a shrimp, trembling all over, the man nodded, Sally terminated the spell almost immediately, her breathing became heavier, the sweat in her hand soaked her wand.

"Next, the most important step. The man said.

"I'm sorry sir. Sally spoke, and the man raised an eyebrow, "You're going to give up?"

"No, sir. Sally said, "I want you to open this black sack and tell me about the sins he has committed." I'm not afraid to kill, but I can't kill someone like this for no reason I don't even know who he is. ”

"What if I told you that it was an order. The man's tone became heavier.

"Even later I got into the group. Sally said, "I will not accept orders for no reason, no reason, sir, I must at least know who my enemies are." ”

"Well, then I'll tell you, your enemy's name is Koklia, and he has killed more than twenty children in the past twenty years, and before killing them, he has eaten their fingers alive. You have to look at the way he looks. With a wave of his wand, Sally saw the man's blood-red eyes, glittering with a vicious gaze, staring at her deadly. "See, kid, bring the black cloth for your own good, you know, many new people see the person they want to kill, instead... ”

"Avada asks for his life. As soon as the green light flashed, the man's eyes turned into a dead silence, like the atmosphere of the scene.

"Did I pass the test, sir?" asked Sally.

The man was the first to react, a smile of unknown meaning rising to the corner of his mouth. He motioned with his eyes to the other man to remove the body and clean up the field. "You go outside and wait, I have something to ask James. ”

Sally obediently walked to the door, she didn't wait long, only about five minutes later, the two men walked out, the middle-aged man shook her hand, his hand was strong and strong, Sally felt the callus on his hand from the long-term use of the wand.

"Sally. James called to her at the door, and she came in.

"How?" she asked, "am I qualified?"

"I thought, yes. James handed her a document with the words M.O.M. written in gold letters on the black leather on the outside, and only one number on the inside when opened: 1135.

"Okay, what else do I need to do next?" asked Sally, retracting the papers into her bracelet.

"No more. James spread his hands out, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't make a big deal out of it, you can do whatever you want." ”

"How big is it?" asked Sally, curiously.

"It's up to you. James said, "It's harder to learn than any other subject." ”

“OK。 Sally said, "Then the first thing I'm going to do is get out of here and go back to Hogwarts." And James, I'll get the werewolf's saliva and blood as soon as possible, and it might be troublesome to contact Hoyt directly, I need you to give me a contact information. ”
