"Lupin, you can stay here tonight! Anyway, there is nothing interesting to see in the Israeli Ministry of Magic except the ruins. I will be the one to keep an eye on the school today!"

At the moment, the sun in the sky is gradually setting towards the west. Sirius, who has returned from outside, is exchanging the information they have obtained with Lupine.

But while he was talking, he mentioned taking over the surveillance mission of Xibohe Magic School.

Of course Lupine knew what Sirius was thinking. After all, tonight was the night of the full moon. Although he had the Wolfsbane potion with him, it could only allow him to maintain his original sanity after being forced to transform.

However, Lu Ping did not agree.

"It's fine with me, you don't have to worry." He shook his head and said, "You know, I'm already very familiar with the area around Xibohe, so it might not be safe for you to go there now. What's more, you don't think I can use it.

Would it be more convenient to be in werewolf form?"

"That's not necessarily the case!" Sirius curled his lips and said, "Didn't Maka and Snape also say that? Although the Wolfsbane potion is very effective, it is best not to be exposed to the moonlight for too long! What do you think?

one……"

In fact, Lu Ping also understood that to be on the safe side, it was best to let Sirius go on his behalf tonight. However, he was worried that if Sirius stayed there with his temperament, he might find a way to sneak in at some point.

Before coming here, Maka had specially reminded him to be careful in everything - that Haierbo was not someone he could mess with just casually.

"Forget it, why don't we go at all tonight and just sleep here peacefully!" Lu Ping suddenly waved his hand and said, "We have hardly had a good rest in the past few days!"

Naturally, what he was thinking was "not seeking merit but seeking no faults", and this mentality was very consistent with Maka's advice. Unfortunately, the boredom and depression every day in the old Black house had long ago made Sirius, an energetic guy

Crazy!

"How can this be possible?" Sirius said immediately, "We are here to do something. If something happens tonight, wouldn't all the hard work these days have been in vain?"

After that, Sirius argued again and finally convinced Lupine. And after Lupine warned him repeatedly, a ray of red sunset filtered through the window.

"Okay, stop talking. I know our mission this time is just surveillance! We won't mess around -"

Finally, Sirius casually threw the spoon in his hand on the table, then stood up and patted some crumbs on his clothes.

"Have a good sleep and come to me early tomorrow morning to change your shift."

After that, he habitually checked the wand on his body, then walked to the door and opened it.

Immediately afterwards, he did not go out immediately. Instead, he stood behind the door and suddenly began to transform. After he quickly transformed into a long-haired black dog of unknown breed, he gently opened the door with his paws.

In a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

It's also a transformation. A dog obviously won't attract much attention, while a terrifying werewolf is obviously not suitable for hiding.

Lupine watched Sirius leave, smiled somewhat helplessly, walked over and closed the door.

…

The capital of Israel is Jerusalem, which is a very special place.

Of course, this is for the Muggle world.

In the magic world in Israel, Haifa in the north is the place that the country's wizards value most, and it is also the area with the largest wizard population.

The reason is none other than that there is the only magic school in Israel.

And now, Sirius was sneaking towards the vicinity of Xibohe Magic Academy.

Speaking of which, he had mastered the Animagus transformation of the black dog as early as school, and this has always been an excellent way for him to conceal his identity.

Therefore, he has long studied various behaviors of real dogs to make his state of transformation look more natural and realistic.

In other words, when a person can make himself feel like a dog, then he really is a dog!

As he was passing quickly in an alley, Sirius suddenly noticed a chubby orange cat blocking his way, and out of habit he went up and sniffed it.

Maybe you get too involved in the drama sometimes? It seems unnecessary, but when a dog meets a cat, something should happen, right?

Unfortunately, not every cat is as smart as Hermione's Crookshanks. When a dog gets close to a cat, it is more likely that...

"Meow!"

Sirius only felt a cold feeling in front of his nose, followed by a sharp pain.

Seeing him jumping away, the orange cat slowly put away its outstretched paws, stood up and left lazily to the other end of the alley.

"Oh, that's not a good sign!"

Sirius shook his head violently, hummed a few words under his breath, and squatted on the spot for a while before continuing on his way.

But he failed to notice that the fat orange cat did not actually go far, but instead hung far behind him.

"Pretending to be quite similar."

The orange cat walked lightly along the wall, looking at the back of the black dog in the distance, and murmured softly in his heart.

…

There are naturally far more than two foreign wizards, Lupine and Sirius, in the city of Haifa now.

In fact, since the Israeli Ministry of Magic was completely eliminated, many magical circles around the world have turned their attention to this area.

Some of the forces paying attention to this place are so-called "official", such as Lupine and Sirius sent by the British Ministry of Magic; but many of them belong to families, organizations, or simply individuals.

Changes are often the catalyst for interests, and bigger changes also represent greater interests.

A major event like the Ministry of Magic being bulldozed in one fell swoop must have great benefits, so it will naturally become popular in everyone's eyes.

And the most important thing is, who did it?

Haierbo's trick can deceive the ordinary wizards, but it is impossible to deceive the profit-seeking people who are usually desperate. There are many people who realize that there is something fishy in it!

Of course, among the forces wandering around Haifa City today, there are very few who know the name "Helbo" as clearly as Lupine and Sirius.

Not long after, it must have been more than ten minutes! Sirius suddenly stopped again - after looking around a few times, he turned a corner and went into another smaller alley next to him.

At this time, the orange cat who was still cautiously following him in the distance was in a dilemma, because he was not sure whether the other party had discovered him.

Because he knew that the black dog was most likely transformed by a wizard, but the direction the black dog was walking at this time was just a residential area composed purely of Muggles.

At present, most of the powerful people's eyes are fixed on Xibohe Magic Academy. If that guy doesn't go there, what does he want to do?

The wizard who turned into an orange cat also had a mission. The reason why he followed Sirius was just to find someone who could clear the way for him.

The Ministry of Magic is in such a miserable state right now, and those who do it are either numerous or powerful. If you want to reap benefits, how can you not sacrifice something?

However, just as he was about to reach the vicinity of Xibohe, the big black dog actually turned a corner?

After hesitating for a moment, the orange cat decided to follow him and take a look - maybe there is a good way?

Despite his chubby body, he was extremely nimble and fast when running, and he ran very fast along the high wall. He passed several cement piles along the way, and after a while he suddenly jumped up and landed accurately.

On the wall opposite the alley.

And when he turned another corner and looked deeper into the alley where Sirius ran, he didn't expect to see a strong and powerful dog's paw in front of him!

"Meow--"

The orange cat quickly leaned back and narrowly avoided the claw. At that moment, he even saw the pink flesh pads under the black fur.

Of course, there are also several sharp claws reflecting the cold light.

The orange cat reacted in an instant. He knew that the black dog might have discovered that he was also an Animagus from the beginning, but he didn't react until now.

"you--"

The orange cat was about to speak, but Sirius had no intention of talking to him. Taking advantage of the pause in his movements when he was speaking, he swung his paw towards him again.

The reason why Sirius didn't have an attack until now was entirely to give the other person a reason to get close to him.

If you chase the orange cat too early, the other party will most likely escape. Even if he deliberately takes a wrong path, there is a high chance that the other party will not be fooled.

And now he is about to enter a certain range around Xibohe. If he chooses to take a detour and set up an ambush, the possibility of the other party being fooled will increase a lot.

After all, that guy has followed him all the way!

Therefore, even if Sirius discovered that this orange cat was also a wizard, he only had two chances to take action from the beginning to now.

The first time was the first moment, but it was a pity that I missed it because I was too hasty. As for receiving it once, it is now!

With this claw, Sirius made a slight sound, which shows that its strength is really huge. If it were an ordinary dog, it would never be possible to do this.

However, the orange cat is obviously not that easy to deal with.

The opponent's waist softened and he twisted his entire front body, narrowly avoiding Sirius's heavy blow. Look at the flexibility and softness, which fully demonstrated the characteristics of a feline.

At the same time, as if it sensed that it was too close to the black dog, the orange cat suddenly jumped out to the side and hurriedly jumped into the alley under the wall.

He didn't want to fight a big dog, it didn't mean anything to him.

It's a pity that Sirius is not ready to let him go. (To be continued)
