After a brief night's rest, Kyle and Cedric begin their search for the Dementors again, or rather for a long time afterward, which is their main mission.

Although Fudge felt that this kind of thing could be done by more professional Aurors, he did not object to Kyle's insistence.

Kyle's idea of getting more wizards involved in the hunt of Dementors through bounties was rejected.

Of course, Fudge also wanted to solve the Dementor problem as soon as possible, and even the last time he went to meet the Muggle Prime Minister, the other party made a big point about it.

Kyle's method is certainly useful, but it requires a lot of money.

After the mysterious man returned, he received reports of applications for Galleons almost every day, and there was really no extra money to spare.

That's why he agreed to let Kyle deal with the Dementors, and in this case, even one more person would be nice.

……

On the other hand, Kyle, who had left the Ministry of Magic, did not rush to find the Dementors, but went to Grimmauld Place XII first.

"Kyle? My dear, how did you get here. Mrs. Weasley, who opened the door, said happily, "Have you had breakfast?" Would you like to have a sandwich? ”

"I want two." Kyle said with a smile.

"More is no problem." Mrs. Weasley takes Kyle to the kitchen and brings him a large plate of corned beef sandwiches.

"What about Fred and George?" Kyle asked, eating his sandwich.

"I didn't come back yesterday." Mrs. Weasley said, "There are so many people in the shop, they have to keep making those Dementor necklaces...... What about you, how did you have time to come here today, on vacation? ”

"Of course not." Kyle picked up the second sandwich and said, "I'm here to see if Professor Dumbledore is there." ”

"Dumbledore?" Mrs. Weasley said, "He hasn't been here since he sent Harry here. ”

"That's right......" Kyle was a little disappointed.

"What are you looking for Dumbledore?"

"I'd like to ask him if he has any Gubrai Immortal Fire." Kyle said he gulped down a second corned beef sandwich and drank another glass of pumpkin juice.

After learning that Dumbledore wasn't here, Kyle prepared to leave.

But at this time, Sirius and Lupin happened to walk in from outside.

They were so sluggish that they looked as if they hadn't slept in days.

"Those werewolves are dangerous...... Sirius grumbled, "Remus, if you want me to say that they can't be on our side, don't waste your efforts." ”

"No, there's still a catch." "At least we've got two dozen werewolves in the mix. ”

"That's because the other werewolves don't look down on them." Sirius said.

The werewolves who befriended Lupin were either thin or old werewolves with few teeth left, and they didn't have any combat power at all, and they were just wasting their time.

But Lupin doesn't think so.

"This is just the beginning," he said patiently...... "and I've been in contact with a werewolf tribe hiding in Diagon Alley lately, and they've been being suppressed because they don't want to join Fenrir Greyback, so I think it's a good opportunity." ”

"I don't dare trust other werewolves as much as I trust you." Sirius muttered.

However, he also knew that he could not convince Lupin, so he simply stopped talking and looked at Kyle who had just finished his sandwich.

"Long time no see, Kyle." Sirius said hello, "I seem to have heard you say just now, what are you looking for, what is it." ”

"It's the Gubrai Immortal Fire." Lupin corrected, "A magical flame that will never be extinguished, it is a top-level alchemy item, and it is very rare...... Kyle, is there any use you want this? ”

"To deal with the Dementors." Kyle said truthfully, "In addition to the Patronus, the Magic Flame is also their nemesis, but it's too tiring to use the Flame Charm all the time. ”

Hearing the Fire Curse, Mrs. Weasley shuddered and couldn't help but say, "Kyle, you're not an adult, you shouldn't use that dangerous black magic." ”

"I know." Kyle said, "That's why I wanted to go to Professor Dumbledore and ask if he still has a Goublé Immortal Fire." ”

"As far as I know, there should be." Lupin thought for a moment, "One of the gifts that Hagrid brought to the giants was the Gublai Immortal Fire, a top-notch alchemical creation like this, even Dumbledore wouldn't have a second one." ”

"What? Given to the giants? "Kyle is not good.

He vaguely remembered that when he was chatting with Hagrid some time ago, he did say that Dumbledore had given him something as a gift before visiting the Giant Tribe, but Kyle didn't know what it was, and Hagrid didn't say anything.

He never thought it would be Gubrai Immortal Fire.

Kyle only felt a pang of distress.

What a loser, will they use this kind of good thing for giants?

Kyle sighed, stood up and prepared to leave.

As Lupin said, even Dumbledore couldn't have a second good thing.

"Wait a minute...... Sirius said suddenly, "I don't know if it's the Gublai Flame you're looking for, but if it's a magical flame that will never be extinguished, I do know where it is." ”

"You know?" Kyle looked at him in surprise.

"Come with me." Sirius didn't explain, turned around and walked out of the house. "Hurry up, go early and come back early, I'm so sleepy......"

Kyle hurriedly followed.

……

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Diagon Alley.

"I need to go to the Black family's vault." Sirius said, pulling out a key and handing it over.

The goblin sitting behind the counter took the key, examined it carefully, and said with a smile:

"Welcome, Mr. Black."

"Don't say so much." Sirius waved his hand impatiently, "If it's all right, you can take us over quickly." ”

"As you wish......"

Another elf approached and led them to the familiar passageway.

"You'd better be prepared, Kyle, it's not going to be a pleasant trip." Sirius reluctantly sat on the cart, "I really don't understand why Gringotts can't just use the key to enter the underground vault. ”

"It's not safe enough to have a key." Said the goblin who brought them.

Once Kyle was seated, the cart led them all the way through the area where the real waterfall and the fire dragon were located, and then went a long way.

The vault doors on both sides were getting fewer and fewer, and the light was getting dimmer, and I don't know how long it was, but just as Sirius was about to spit out, the cart finally stopped.

At this point, there was only one vault door as far as they could see.

The goblin jumped out of the cart first, and opened the vault with a key and a flurry of tedious manipulation.

The moment the vault door was opened, the dim passage seemed to be dyed golden.

Kyle couldn't count how many gold gallons were piled up in it, gems of all colors, ornate armor and swords, all thrown on the ground like garbage.

Sirius walked in and kicked a gem-encrusted mirror aside, his gaze rounding the mountains of galleons and ending up on the top of the vault, a torch that had been used as a tool of light.

The flame is not large, but it is stable......

Kyle recognized it at a glance, it was the Gublai Immortal Fire he was looking for.

He'd guessed since he came to Diagon Alley that this thing was in the Black family's vault?

The Gublai Flame is a very special magical flame that will not be extinguished in the water, on the top of a snowy mountain, or in a completely sealed vault, and is most suitable for an ancient pure-blood family like Black to assert their status.

"Well, isn't it what you're looking for?" Sirius asked.

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "It's indeed the Gubrai Immortal Fire. ”

"Take it...... Sirius waved his wand, ready to take it down.

Because the torches seemed to have a permanent paste spell on them, and he was even ready to blow up the walls of the vault, not caring about the security in the future.

Of course, Gringotts' vaults can't be destroyed by a single spell.

In the end, the goblin who accompanied him couldn't stand it anymore, snapped his fingers with a dark face, and took the initiative to help Sirius take down the torch.

"I'll give it back to you when I'm done with the Dementors." Kyle said.

"What are you kidding!" Sirius was immediately upset, "I never got what I sent back, let alone you were dealing with the Dementors......

"I've been tormented by Dementors for twelve years, and I've wanted to kill them for a long time...... It's a pity I have something else to do. ”

"I've got you!" He waved his hand, "Also, there is one thing here that is the same, and whatever you look at, you can take it...... Oh, and besides the deed to Black's ancestral home, the place is still useful. ”

The Blake's ancestral home was 12 Grimmauld Place, but in front of a goblin, he couldn't give out the full address.

"No need, it's enough to have the Gubrai Immortal Fire......" Kyle glanced at the surrounding mountains of gold, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then asked:

"Sirius, do you really want to deal with the Dementors?"

"I dream of it." Sirius said without hesitation.

That's true, no matter who has been in Azkaban, there is no one who doesn't want to kill a Dementor.

"I have an idea...... Kyle whispered about the bounty hunt, "the only problem now is that the Ministry of Magic is short of money, and if someone is willing to donate, I don't think Fudge will refuse, and by the way, you can make another wave of fame." ”

"Garon isn't a problem......" Sirius thought for a moment, and instead of agreeing immediately, he asked, "But have you ever thought about what happens if the Dementor hunters can't extinguish the fire...... If that thing is allowed to persist, it is much more threatening than the Dementors. ”

"Don't worry, if they're going to exchange the bounty, they'll have to find a way to extinguish the fire." Kyle pulls out a bottle and shakes it.

"What is this?" Sirius wondered.

"The ashes left behind by the Dementors are also proof."

Kyle said, "Only by bringing this thing can you get the bounty of Garon, and they won't be able to get it if they don't put out the fire."

"And I've already asked, the Auror office has a magic item that specializes in detecting the fire, and as soon as the fire grows to a certain level, it will sound an alarm and show the specific location."

"In addition, the dementor's hood can also be used as a certificate, both of which have the same cold aura as the dementor, and have their own anti-counterfeiting marks, which ordinary wizards can't imitate at all."

"If that's the case." Sirius didn't hesitate this time, "I'll give three thousand...... No, five thousand Galleons. ”

……

After both of them had brought their own needs, they returned to Gringotts in a small cart.

Because of something else on his mind, Sirius didn't complain about this uncomfortable means of transportation this time around.

It wasn't until the two of them left Gringotts that he asked, "You say, can this really help Remus?" ”

"All I can say is that it's possible, it's a good opportunity, but it depends on Fudge's mind." Kyle said, "Werewolves have always had a problem, and it's not something that can be done simply to bridge the gap between them and wizards. ”

"I don't care about the other werewolves...... Sirius muttered, "I only care about Remus. ”

"That's a lot easier."

Leaving Diagon Alley, the two returned to the Ministry of Magic and found Fudge.

"Will you donate a sum of money to the Ministry of Magic?"

Upon learning of the intention of the two, Fudge immediately stood up.

How long had it been, since Malfoy had suddenly disappeared, he hadn't heard such happy words.

"Of course, Mr. Minister." Sirius grimaced, "I know better than anyone how dangerous Dementors can be, and I'd love to do my part. ”

"Sit down, Mr. Black." Fudge said happily, "The Ministry of Magic will not forget your contributions. ”

"This is what I'm supposed to do......" Sirius glanced at Kyle.

Kyle shook his head slightly, motioning for him to be at ease.

Then, the three of them chatted.

Fudge had other things to do, but now, nothing was as important as a donation of five thousand Galleons.

As long as it is used well, such a large sum of money is enough for him to save his incompetent image.

The main topic of this conversation is some details of bounty on Dementors, such as how to prevent someone from destroying buildings or harming Muggles while hunting Dementors.

Most of the time Kyle and Fudge were talking, after which Scrimge, the head of the Auror Office, and Alastor Moody, who had received news from Sirius, also arrived.

There was a constant buzz in the minister's office, and Sirius, who couldn't speak, was so drowsy that he could only keep drinking strong tea to keep himself awake.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he heard a familiar name.

"Speaking of werewolves...... Kyle kicked Sirius under the table, and he snapped to his senses.

"I haven't thought about how to solve this problem, unlike the giants, they are clearly on the side of the Death Eaters, and unlike the Dementors, they can read the newspapers, and the bounty will not work."

"yes, werewolves are a big nuisance." Fudge rubbed his forehead.

"But......" said Kyle, "I do know of a guy who's running around to solve the werewolf problem and doesn't want anything in return." ”

"Who is it?" Fudge came interested.

"Remus Lupin." Kyle said.

"Lupin ......"

Fudge pondered for a moment, "I remember, he seems to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts a few years ago...... I think he seems to be the only werewolf to graduate at Hogwarts in nearly three centuries, oh, and seems to be good friends with Mr. Black. ”

Although Fudge and Lupin did not have any intersection, he still told Lupin's identity in three or two sentences, and it was very detailed.

Obviously, he was not able to become this minister simply because of good luck.

"Yes, we are indeed friends."

Kyle kicked Sirius again, and he quickly said, "We were running around in the Black Forest two days ago, and he hasn't slept for days for the sake of werewolves. ”

"It's really hard......"

Fudge glanced at Sirius, his tone paused slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I've heard that when he was at Hogwarts, he was the most popular Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and if it weren't for being a werewolf, he would probably be the first professor to be re-elected to this class."

"Who's to say it isn't." Sirius sighed, "He's constrained at every turn because of his status as a werewolf, and sometimes I really want to do something for him." ”

"How's his grades?" Fudge asked suddenly.

"He used to be a prefect." Sirius said, "After graduating, I got ten certificates. ”

"That's a great result." Fudge looked at the Auror Office Director next to him, "Rufus, didn't I remember you always saying that you didn't have enough manpower?" What do you think of him? ”

"Remus Lupin?" Scrimgeour frowned, wasn't this time discussing the issue of Dementors? Why did you suddenly get on this?

"But he's a werewolf...... Scrimgeour said.

"I don't think it's a big deal." Fudge shook his head and said, "The identity of the werewolf is not up to him, but he is still willing to help us, and that is enough."

"And he fits exactly what it takes to be an Auror, doesn't he?"

"But......" Scrimgeour hesitated. Let a werewolf be an Auror, which has never been done before. ”

"That's because you're prejudiced against werewolves." Moody said in a gruff voice.

"I'm not biased!" Scrimgeour muttered, "But I have to take responsibility for the other Aurors, what if they get bitten by accident." ”

"Even if you bite, Remus won't." Moody scoffed.

"Don't forget......" Scrimgeour said unrelentingly, "werewolves on full moon nights have no reason to speak of. ”

"Alright, alright, don't quarrel." Fudge hurriedly played a round.

"These are special times." "We should let more werewolves who want to live a normal life see our kindness and let them know that they are not the only way to join the Death Eaters," he said.

"Remus Lupin is a good candidate, Rufus, I really think you can think about it."
