The highly wealthy Little Wizard currently standing completely safely opposite him grinned, his facial expression entirely pure and perfectly, highly innocent.
Exactly what on earth is this arrogant little guy actively laughing at? Is there absolutely something physically wrong entirely with his brain? Or did he successfully, secretly discover something highly unusual about the ambush?
A massive, highly complex series of paranoid questions violently surfaced completely entirely inside the young Mundungus Fletcher's criminal mind. He deeply furrowed his brow slightly, actively about to violently probe further with a spell, when he highly keenly noticed the other party suddenly, violently raise his head and look completely, intensely directly above him.
Mundungus completely also instinctively, highly reflexively looked directly up—
Several highly suspicious, heavy white objects were completely, violently rapidly falling directly from the sky, aimed exactly, flawlessly directly at his eyes!
He quickly, desperately dodged sideways, but absolutely not physically fast enough!
Splat!
A massive, wet, incredibly foul-smelling white blob of liquid bird droppings violently hit exactly entirely on the bridge of his nose, exploding completely, heavily on his entire face instantly. His wide eyes and open mouth were absolutely not spared either, and his whole face immediately looked exactly like a highly pathetic, comical clown.
"Pah! Damn it to hell, pah pah pah!" Mundungus cursed violently, frantically, desperately wiping the foul stuff completely off his face with his sleeve, his wand nearly completely dropping entirely to the dirty ground in his panic.
He furiously looked directly up, desperately wanting to physically see exactly which wicked, highly dangerous fellow had aggressively, physically played such a highly disgusting trick entirely on him—
He violently saw a massive, terrifying giant golden shadow completely swoop entirely down directly from the freezing sky exactly like lightning, its massive, highly sharp talons aggressively grazing directly past his filthy hair, acting exactly as if violently trying to completely tear off his scalp!
It was a massive eagle! No—there were actually, mathematically exactly two of them!
"Damn it! You bloody beasts give me—"
Mundungus aggressively gritted his filthy teeth and violently raised his wand, the lethal curse barely half entirely out of his mouth when the two massive eagle shadows highly quickly violently ascended, completely, flawlessly flying entirely out of his magical attack range, making it completely physically impossible for him to actively aim.
Two highly cheerful, piercing eagle cries completely from the freezing air seemingly, actively mocked him.
His raised wand froze entirely in mid-air—
Exactly where on earth did these highly dangerous, massive feathered beasts completely come from?
Exactly why, on the absolute very first day completely of the freezing New Year, was he physically exactly so incredibly unlucky?
Mundungus aggressively raised his filthy sleeve completely again, violently wiped the remaining sticky bird droppings completely from his face, and his angry gaze quickly returned entirely completely to the ground.
The dark end completely of the freezing alley was entirely, mathematically empty; the little, highly wealthy fat sheep who had completely just been physically standing completely opposite him was entirely gone.
Huh? Exactly where on earth did that rich little brat physically go?
Mundungus was completely, utterly physically stunned, his mouth hanging slightly agape, his wide eyes completely actively looking frantically around completely for a highly tense moment—
But there was completely, mathematically absolutely only the howling sound completely of the winter wind entirely around him.
A massive, terrifying wave of pure, unadulterated panic quickly, violently rose completely entirely in his dark heart.
Something is absolutely, mathematically completely wrong... This is absolutely, highly not good!
Decades of highly tuned criminal intuition gained entirely completely from desperately struggling completely entirely after graduation violently told him that he highly likely might have completely, actually accidentally encountered an incredibly tough, highly lethal tactical opponent!
In this highly dangerous situation—he absolutely must highly decisively, rapidly run!
He completely, efficiently made a massive snap tactical decision, steadied his body, heavily gripped his wand tightly, and completely decided to aggressively Apparate safely entirely immediately, leaving this utterly, highly unlucky place—
Target. Determination. Composure!
Mundungus desperately, highly frantically recalled a highly secure, filthy London suburb exactly where he highly often hid from the Aurors.
Just exactly then, a highly bright, lethal magical light violently shot completely silently and highly swiftly directly from the deep shadows, flawlessly, heavily hitting him squarely entirely in the back.
In a massive, absolute instant, his physical body suddenly, violently stiffened completely uncontrollably. His arms aggressively slapped tightly completely against his sides, his legs violently standing entirely completely at rigid attention. He awkwardly swayed completely back and forth exactly a few terrifying times exactly like a massive stone statue... Then, with a highly loud, heavy thud, he violently fell completely straight face-first entirely onto the cold, highly dirty stone flagstones.
Petrification Charm?! Damn it!
The two highly terrifying eagles completely entirely in the sky violently swooped completely down directly again, their massive golden wings and highly sharp golden talons rapidly, terrifyingly growing completely larger directly exactly in his eyes.
Mundungus's terrified eyeballs violently rolled wildly in panic, but his upper and lower jaws were completely, entirely magically locked completely tightly together, completely entirely unable to physically make absolutely any sound. Uncontrollable, sheer unadulterated fear violently appeared entirely completely in his eyes.
The terrifying eagle talons were completely, mathematically getting closer!
Merlin's smelly, rotting socks— at this highly terrifying point, Mundungus completely didn't even logically physically have the required strength completely to actively curse, and he desperately, highly completely closed his eyes entirely tight...
However, the absolute very next second, he heavily, completely felt a dirty piece of highly torn cloth, which completely mathematically seemed to have violently flown directly from nowhere, safely cover his entire head. Immediately entirely after, a highly gentle, massive magical force slowly, smoothly lifted his rigid, stiff body directly from the ground, propping him highly steadily completely entirely against the cold brick wall, head completely up and feet entirely down, exactly like a stiff wooden plank.
At this exact, terrifying moment, the completely immobilized Mundungus had absolutely, completely zero anger left completely entirely in his chest, absolutely only pure, unadulterated panic and massive unease. He desperately, highly frantically strained his ears against the cloth, actively trying to physically hear the highly dangerous movements completely outside—
...
In the completely thin, freezing air, three highly armed Little Wizards smoothly, flawlessly appeared entirely completely again as the Disillusionment Charm dropped.
"Reg... uh, I entirely mean, that was mathematically so incredibly cool!" James highly enthusiastically looked completely entirely up directly at Godric and Regina, his hazel eyes entirely full of massive excitement and deep Gryffindor envy. "Exactly when on earth did they actively, legally learn that highly tactical bombing skill?"
Regulus simply, highly mysteriously smiled completely silently. He entirely first put a highly pale finger completely directly to his lips to strongly signal him to tactically speak vastly less, then smoothly pointed completely exactly directly at Mundungus's dropped wand.
James completely, highly tactically understood the silence. He enthusiastically stepped completely forward, highly excitedly completely confiscated the other party's lethal criminal tool from the dirt, and casually tossed it highly securely completely to Sirius.
Their highly exclusive little group, the Marauders, completely finally actively lived entirely entirely up completely to their arrogant name and actually aggressively marauded a dark wizard.
Heh heh.
As for Regulus, Godric's highly successful "Bird Dropping Bomb"—
After Regulus highly successfully, flawlessly climbed exactly to the absolute very top entirely of Westminster Palace's massive clock tower and successfully completed the legendary "Leap of Faith," in absolute addition entirely completely to the massive, highly tactical mathematical expansion entirely completely of the Eagle Vision range, Godric and Regina completely also immediately gained a highly advanced, massive brand new tactical skill—
"Falcon Harassment"
However, he completely logically himself absolutely completely didn't logically expect entirely that this highly specific new gaming skill would completely also magically come entirely completely with a highly massive, physically hilarious bombing-like precision 'dropping' effect.
( ¯︶¯ )
Besides exactly this hilarious tactical effect, he completely also highly successfully gained a massive, highly second highly valuable tactical teleportation point (Fast Travel)—
London Big Ben.
Although the absolute mathematical number of safe teleportations was completely technically limited entirely for now, the highly strategic thought completely of actively being able completely to instantly physically travel back and forth completely safely entirely between Hogwarts and massive London completely in the future, allowing for vastly more tactical preparation and highly advanced corporate planning, completely excited Regulus highly greatly.
Seeing highly clearly entirely that Regulus completely absolutely didn't logically speak, Sirius highly simply casually walked entirely completely exactly directly completely in front entirely of Mundungus, violently wrinkled his aristocratic nose in disgust at the smell, examined the criminal highly carefully, and then calmly asked completely entirely in a highly low, lethal voice, "Exactly how should we tactically deal completely with this highly filthy Dark Wizard next?"
I'm absolutely not a massive Dark Wizard!—
Mundungus completely immediately violently cried entirely out entirely completely in his terrified heart. He desperately blinked his locked eyes wildly under the cloth, physically expressing a highly strong, massive biological will completely entirely to actively survive, but highly entirely through the dirty torn cloth, absolutely completely no one logically noticed him completely at all.
Regulus completely absolutely didn't logically answer immediately. He slowly walked completely entirely exactly in front entirely of Mundungus, highly analytically tilting his dark head completely thoughtfully—
This filthy person... should highly logically mathematically absolutely be the famous Mundungus Fletcher, right?
He actively mathematically seems entirely to physically be an incredibly good, highly resourceful source of black-market resources and highly classified underworld information? After all, he historically actually completely even legally had a highly trusted place directly entirely in Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix.
But violently, actively robbing highly innocent Little Wizards in broad daylight... isn't that a bit entirely too highly, completely morally bottomless even for him?
Regulus gently rubbed his nose highly calculatingly—exactly how incredibly, mathematically convenient. He absolutely just highly logically happened completely to politically currently be actively missing a highly expendable 'bad guy' completely around directly to highly aggressively test some advanced mental spells completely on.
...
Absolutely completely no sooner politically said highly than logically done, Regulus violently narrowed his dark eyes and highly smoothly completely waved his hawthorn wand—the dirty, smelly torn cloth completely actively covering entirely Mundungus's filthy head instantly, violently magically disappeared.
Mundungus's terrified mouth and nose were entirely finally completely magically freed entirely from completely beneath the highly smelly torn cloth. He immediately, desperately took massive, highly deep physical breaths entirely completely of fresh air, completely while highly frantically blinking his eyes, his blurry vision finally completely actively focusing completely on exactly what was physically standing entirely completely in front entirely of him—
It was completely exactly the highly familiar three black-haired Little Wizards completely entirely from the Leaky Cauldron. At this highly terrifying moment, they were absolutely all aggressively, lethally pointing their highly polished wand tips completely exactly directly at him, entirely full of a highly massive, completely terrifying imposing physical presence, and exactly two entirely completely of the highly dangerous Little Wizards were mathematically exceptionally, terrifyingly handsome.
His terrified criminal mind violently raced, and an incredibly uneasy, terrifying political guess immediately, violently surfaced completely entirely in his dark heart:
Highly incredibly good-looking, completely pure black hair, terrifying grey eyes, highly close friends exactly with massive amounts of gold money—
Could they absolutely, terrifyingly politically completely be directly from the highly dangerous Noble House of Black?
His dark eyes violently flickered in terror, just exactly completely meeting the highly calm, freezing gaze completely entirely of the Little Wizard currently standing directly in the middle. There was an absolutely chilling, terrifying steadiness completely entirely in his dark eyes, a highly massive pair entirely of freezing grey eyes exactly like a violent, highly massive vortex, seemingly entirely completely actively able completely to aggressively look directly entirely into his very soul.
The highly exact, absolute very next moment, a highly massive, highly terrifying violent amount entirely of Mundungus's most highly classified, deepest memories suddenly, violently surged completely entirely completely uncontrollably into the forefront of his mind—
The freezing New Year had completely finally come entirely again, and he was mathematically absolutely still completely utterly alone. Exactly yesterday he highly depressedly decided completely to legally go physically see his highly poor parents' dirty graves, but violently turned completely back highly halfway...
After miserably graduating, he completely absolutely couldn't safely find a highly legal job, was violently caught exactly the highly absolute first time he completely legally committed a petty crime, and entirely completely after that absolutely no one would legally hire him. Luckily, highly completely 'that highly specific person' completely helped...
He completely entirely hadn't logically hesitated absolutely entirely about the massive robbery today, exactly as it completely absolutely wasn't physically highly mathematically his usual, safe style, but he had highly clearly, violently actively heard the highly specific sound of massive Galleons—
There was completely simply absolutely entirely vastly too mathematically much gold!
Of absolute complete course, he completely absolutely just simply highly wanted to aggressively completely scare them safely, heavily physically collect some highly needed 'tuition fee', and then violently send him entirely safely completely to a highly safe place. He had absolutely completely highly entirely no physical intention completely of actively harming the Little Wizard.
His highly classified, highly secret hiding spots were exactly completely entirely in the dirty London suburbs, completely Southampton...
The specific pub he completely highly usually liked highly completely to safely go entirely to was physically exactly in...
He had highly completely actively liked exactly a specific waitress entirely completely at the pub entirely highly completely for a long time...
His highly illegal 'business'...
...
Absolutely completely highly not mathematically good!
Mundungus suddenly, violently frantically completely physically discovered completely entirely entirely with absolute horror—the highly terrifying Little Wizard completely standing physically directly opposite him, who physically, mathematically actively looked absolutely only entirely exactly like a highly young third or fourth-year, was incredibly flawlessly completely actually actively safely performing highly advanced Legilimency directly entirely completely on him!
Right! Highly completely Occlumency! Occlu... Damn it entirely to hell! Exactly why on earth isn't it physically logically actively working completely entirely at all?!
Exactly what a highly massive, highly terrifyingly powerful brat!
He frantically, desperately highly completely violently actively physically blinked highly rapidly completely entirely in absolutely vain, actively violently completely trying deeply to highly aggressively actively magically break the highly powerful spell physically exactly standing completely opposite entirely him.
But it was absolutely completely, logically entirely mathematically already vastly entirely too entirely physically late—
Absolutely all his highly deepest secrets, his completely filthy habits, his massive, deep melancholy completely entirely of actively being completely alone completely on New Year's, his massive, deep helplessness and highly crushing numbness completely entirely from actively physically living completely entirely on the absolute freezing fringes completely entirely of the magical world...
He highly completely violently actively physically completely closed completely his terrified eyes, entirely actively feeling completely utterly, entirely physically disheartened and politically defeated...
...
This highly advanced mental spell, Legilimency... it logically mathematically absolutely seems... absolutely wasn't entirely completely physically mathematically as highly incredibly difficult completely exactly as I originally imagined?
Regulus completely mathematically smiled highly slightly entirely exactly and smoothly completely said:
"Let's absolutely completely talk business, Mundungus Fletcher."
