Although Sirius has always been a bit reckless in doing things, sometimes when his stubbornness comes up, his life-threatening stubbornness is much stronger than that of Asaph and Miriam, who are dead soldiers.

However, under normal circumstances, he is not a fool.

Before he and Lupine came to this strange country together, Maka had repeatedly warned about safety issues. And since even Maka McClain had emphasized it so much, no matter how impulsive Sirius was, he would not just

He went to Xibohe Magic Academy by himself and messed around.

Therefore, Lu Ping's previous entanglement was actually a bit overly worrying.

In fact, before meeting this "orange cat wizard", Sirius had originally planned to follow what Lupine had done recently and keep an eye on the outside.

However, the orange cat he accidentally bumped into made him change his mind.

Recently, he and Lupine were conducting separate investigations in the Israeli magical world. While paying attention to the Ministry of Magic and Shibohe, they also discovered some signs of actions by other forces.

In other words, they have long known that there are many pairs of eyes staring at this place, just like they themselves are the eyes of Maka and Scrimgeour.

And when multiple unrelated forces suddenly collide for the same goal, using people from other forces to test the target becomes something that everyone is happy to do.

At this moment, the seemingly obese orange cat was running very fast in front, moving left and right very nimbly; as for the black dog that Sirius had transformed into, it was behind, swinging its four legs and chasing after him wildly.

But there is a tacit understanding between the two, that is - they both deliberately maintain the silence of chasing and escaping.

For the orange cat, if he is discovered by wizards from other forces nearby, he will definitely be the unlucky one. As for Sirius, he does not want anyone to snatch his "prey".

Thus, this almost silent pursuit and escape battle began.

Although the orange cat's speed is completely out of proportion to its size, it is obviously a notch behind Sirius's big black dog.

However, the orange cat seems to be more flexible than Sirius. It often turns and dodges in one go, causing Sirius to frequently lose his claws when he seems to be within reach.

For a moment, the two parties unknowingly arrived at the Muggle residential area to the west.

There is no doubt that the terrain here has become more complicated...the advantage of running is shifting towards escape.

But to be honest, the wizard who turned into an orange cat is almost going green now! He was not very good at fighting in the first place. At first he just planned to follow Sirius to see if he could get an advantage, but who knew he was

Sirius found out.

So now, he just wants to run, as fast as possible. At least for a short period of time, so that he can change back to his human form without being disturbed, and use Apparition to leave safely.

Unfortunately, Sirius chased him so closely that if he even paused for a moment, he would be in danger of being knocked down by a claw.

Suddenly, when the two were passing by a yard, the orange cat suddenly jumped up against the wall, and then continued to jump along the wall to the window sill of a household.

When Sirius saw this, he immediately turned around and climbed up the wall, but it was obviously a bit difficult for him to follow the narrow window sill.

But just when the wizard who had turned into an orange cat breathed a sigh of relief, Sirius's actions scared him so much that he froze.

But he saw the black dog pulling on the wall and kicking upwards hard. At the same time that his whole body jumped up, the black dog actually began to undo its transformation in mid-air!

Animagus transformation speeds are generally not slow, and proficiency can be increased through practice. However, after reducing the transformation time to a certain level, it is very difficult to shorten it again.

However, it is difficult for most Animagus to complete the transformation or release the transformation in one flight.

As far as Maka knows, the only wizards who can do this are Professor McGonagall and himself...well, maybe Professor Dumbledore must be added.

But he didn't know that Sirius could do it too!

In just one leap, the big black dog returned to its original appearance, and what followed naturally was a particularly swift and silent spell.

Perhaps due to surprise, the wizard who turned into an orange cat could not react until he was hit. Then he fell stiffly from the second floor window sill and fell into the grass in the flower bed downstairs.

…

Mentioning the three unforgivable curses set by the International Federation of Wizards is a scandal in the wizarding world of many countries. Because they are simply symbols of dark wizards and represent undisputed evil.

In fact, magic linked to the spirit and soul will indeed cause wizards to change their tendencies when using them.

To a certain extent, there is nothing wrong with saying that black magic can fundamentally pollute a person.

Therefore, many wizards who adhere to justice and kindness will not even use black magic for their entire lives, as even a glance at it seems to be blaspheming their own beliefs.

However, the human soul determines that everyone will have good and evil at the same time. Some people who have similar beliefs as above will not hesitate to use the so-called "Unforgivable Curse" when necessary.

Yes, this is Sirius Black.

At this moment, the orange cat transformed by an exotic wizard was walking towards the Xibohe Magic Academy. His steps were very brisk, but his eyes seemed a little dull.

This is a little detail about being hit by the Imperius Curse, and Sirius's spell-casting ability is obviously relatively advanced. It would be difficult to see it if you don't know it in advance.

It was already dark now, the surrounding temperature was dropping a little, and there were far fewer pedestrians nearby than in the evening.

As a dirty orange cat, he didn't attract anyone's attention along the way. He just trotted with his head down for a while, and then he came to the back door of a church.

This is the entrance to the area where Sibohe Magic Academy is located. Only wizards can see the door from that wall, and only wizards can push the door open.

Once you enter through this only entrance, you can directly see the main entrance of Xibohe Magic Academy.

The campus of Schieberhe is a mansion-style building that was renovated only in the last century, said to be renovation funds provided by an unknown investor.

But even though the school has been completely renovated, the number of new students admitted to Xibohe has not increased much every year. I have to say that it is a very regrettable investment.

At the moment, the orange cat had easily pushed open the door on the back wall of the church with its paws, and stepped inside without hesitation. Immediately after, the rather nice-looking mansion building came into view of him.

In those pair of lifeless vertical pupils.

It was already nighttime, and it was a little dark inside, but that was nothing to a cat.

Speaking of which, due to his limited strength, the wizard who turned into an orange cat has never entered here once! When he took the first step into the world behind the door, he immediately felt the hardness under his feet.

Touch.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a wide and flat ground, with a slightly curved street in the middle. If you look towards the end of the street, you can see the location of the Heberhe Magic Academy.

This place is actually somewhat similar to the black market under London, but it doesn't have as much space - after all, this is just the location of a magic school.

Except for the mansion-style Heberhe Academy, the other buildings that can be seen are lined up on both sides of the street below. A rough estimate shows that there are only a dozen magic shops in total.

Lupine had come in once before when he was carrying out surveillance activities. And it was the only time that he used a monocular to discover the notice on the bulletin board.

Now, the orange cat was walking in the grass on the edge of the street, quickly exceeding the farthest distance Lupine had ever walked, and continued to move forward through the shadow of the store.

The next moment, Sirius also came in through the entrance, but after entering, he hid in a taller bush, which was only a few steps away from the entrance.

As far as Sirius was concerned, it was enough to be able to look at the school gate.

Not long after, he watched with his own eyes the orange cat silently walked to the main door, and got into the iron gate without any hindrance under Sirius's surprised gaze.

"That door... doesn't even have a defensive spell?"

His original plan was to let the wizard touch the magic on the door, so that he could not only observe the specific spell on it, but also attract some people to come out.

But he never expected that the chubby orange cat would just go in...

Sirius waited outside for a while. The less movement there was, the more he felt something was wrong. After more than ten minutes and still no response, he no longer wanted to wait any longer.

According to the order he gave the opponent after he cast the Imperius Curse on the opponent, "Enter the Xibohe Magic Academy", but he did not mention what to do after entering.

If nothing else happened, the orange cat would have stopped in the front yard of the mansion and started wandering around aimlessly.

"There was no movement, no one came out to check, and even no light came out of the windows..."

No, I have to go!

Sirius, who was lying in the grass, nodded slightly, then without hesitation, turned his head and rushed towards the entrance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in this almost closed space.

But not long after he left, a window on the top floor of the mansion suddenly lit up, and a figure flashed past the window.

That night, several lurking forces actually saw the orange cat and the black dog entering that space one after another, but only the latter came out.

As for the fat orange cat, no one has seen it since. (To be continued)
