0231 Wait Sirius had barely recovered from the shock of seeing Bryan Watson enter the mansion, when a shrill voice pierced his ears. "Filthy, lowly mudblood has invaded my mistress's house and harmed my noble mistress!" It was Kreacher, his house-elf, who had crawled out of the shadows. His old, wrinkled nose was red with rage, and a disgusting thick mucus dripped down his chin. He extended his bony finger and pointed it at Bryan, who was walking towards Sirius. "Kreacher will avenge the mistress, Kreacher will defend the honour of the Black family!" As he spoke, a faint glow gathered at the tip of his finger, ready to unleash a blast of magic. "Wait, Kreacher, you are not allowed to attack!" Sirius shouted desperately, clutching his chest. For a house-elf, the commands of the master were everything. Even if Kreacher despised Sirius, as long as he was the legitimate heir of the Black family, he had to obey him. In the instant Sirius said "not allowed to attack" the slave contract hidden within Kreacher's soul forced him to stop his spellcasting. "Master and the filthy mudblood are in cahoots!" Kreacher's bloodshot eyes widened with disbelief, as he muttered angrily, "Kreacher knew long ago that the master brought this lowly mudblood back for..." Bang! A dazzling silver light flashed in the dim corridor, like a blade slicing through the air. It hit Kreacher in the chest, sending him flying backwards. He crashed into the wooden door leading to the basement, leaving a large hole. He landed heavily on the stairs, motionless. "I don't like indulging in the quirks of these little creatures..." Bryan said in a cold tone, lowering his arm. "Did you kill him?" Sirius asked in a hoarse voice, turning his dull gaze towards Bryan. He felt a mix of fear and anger, as he faced his enemy. "Sorry, did I anger you?" Bryan said mockingly, standing a few steps away. He sneered at Sirius,Updated chapters at novelhall.com "Do I need to kneel down and apologise to you, Mr. Black?" Sirius's hand holding the wand trembled, and his voice became intense. "Huh... How could Dumbledore use a wizard like you?" "Who knows? But I guess he was very afraid that one day I would join forces with your former master. So, even if some of my actions were very annoying to him, he had to tolerate me." Bryan said, tilting his head. He looked at Sirius with a strange gaze, as if he was studying him. The air, filled with the stench of corruption, suddenly fell into a strange silence. Bryan's expression also became strange. He looked at Sirius with a mixture of curiosity, as if he was examining a rare specimen. "A hundred thousand. you want to give me a hundred thousand galleons., to let you go?" He repeated slowly, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. "How about it, Watson, this is a deal!" Sirius said eagerly, raising his head. He tried to ignore the pain and the fear, and focused on his hope. "The Black family's vault is piled with gold, Watson, as long as you let me go, I can give you all those wealth, I swear I will do it!" He added, lying through his teeth. He didn't know how much money was left in his family's vault, but he hoped it was enough to tempt Bryan. "A hundred thousand galleons–hmm" Bryan stood up, rubbing his temples with annoyance. He muttered to himself, "Sounds like a good deal, Mr. Black, but you've given me a big problem." Although he didn't know why Dumbledore had chosen such a person to ensure the safety of the children in the school, but Sirius was still grateful that Dumbledore had made a mistake. Otherwise, he would have to bid farewell to his revenge plan tonight. Just as he was about to emphasize the wealth of the Black family, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, had (actually he didn't know either), Bryan's regretful tone and words suddenly stopped his pounding heart. "A hundred thousand galleons is indeed a tempting fortune, Mr. Black. But unfortunately, I cannot make this trade with you." Bryan explained to himself, as if he was trying to justify his decision. "If you were just a simple murderer, maybe I could turn a blind eye, Mr. Black. But unfortunately, you killed Lily Potter. You know, this woman is not only Harry's mother, but also the lifelong love of my respected Professor Snape. I had made up my mind that if I caught you, I would bring you to him and let him deal with you. Oh, actually, I had also made a contract with your former friend, Remus Lupin. Look at the trouble you've caused me. So many people are eagerly waiting to take your life..." He said, spreading his hands, sighing. He looked at Sirius with pity, as if he was sorry for him. "So, you see, we can't make this deal." "Professor Snape–" Sirius ignored the fact about Lupin's desire to kill him, and opened his mouth to stare at the pretentious Bryan blankly. "You mean, Severus Snape, that annoying snot?" Sirius's emotions flared up again, "Wait, Watson, don't do this, I beg you. I don't want to see Snape, or Lupin, or anyone else. I want to see Dumbledore!" ******************************* For More Chapters; /FicFrenzy
