Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 20 The Most Unexpected Helping Hand

Before Peter came back to his senses, the monster had rushed in front of him and threw him to the ground with one claw.

The back of his head slammed into a sharp gravel, and a hot stream flowed into his neckline. For a moment, he felt dizzy, and the severe pain almost made him lose consciousness.

This monster was so close to him that he could clearly hear its rumbling breathing, and besides its eyes, its sharp teeth also reflected a cold light in the dark.

Fighting to keep himself from passing out, he pulled his wand hand from under him, aimed at its eyes—

But before Peter could say the spell, it moved, and a pincer-like claw violently twisted around his wrist, snatching his wand away.He tried to break free, but the physical strength of this gigantic monster was beyond the strength of the human body.

It pressed the other paw heavily on his leg, turned its head and bit his foot, and he felt the sticky liquid flowing around his foot.

Except for the sound of breathing and biting, the surroundings were quiet. The black snake seemed to have stopped attacking, quietly watching the monster's final execution of Peter Peddy Road.

His hand has been grasped unconsciously, and it seems that his end is to be eaten alive in the dark...

Suddenly, he felt the weight off his legs, and the monster let go of his wrists, and stood up with his back arched.

Peter quickly sat up from the ground and fumbled for his wand, but just a second later, his whole body was roughly grabbed by the monster.

His feet were off the ground, and his body was lifted to his shoulders by the monster. He beat it with all his strength, but his fist hammer had no effect on its thick fur.

The monster started to run quickly on its two hind legs, and the black snake on the wall started a new round of fierce attacks.

He could hear the sound of the snake's head hitting the ground and the wall more densely than raindrops, and the monster dodged left and right, almost getting hit a few times.

Ten seconds later, he was thrown out and fell heavily on the ground. Although he was in the dark, he could feel that he was thrown into a strange room.

There was the sound of a door closing behind him, and a wand was thrown into his hand.

He grabbed his wand and said, "Lumos."

The light lit up the room, and he could finally see again, and found himself sitting on the floor beside a desk surrounded by racks of potions and taxidermy, one trouser leg smeared with black Huge snake blood.

It turned out that this room was not mysterious, it was just Snape's office, and Peter soon discovered that the wand in his hand also belonged to Snape.

Then it was self-explanatory who Peter mistook for a monster in the dark—today was a full moon night, and Snape obviously did not forget to take the wolfsbane potion.

The werewolf Snape ignored Peter, he walked slowly around the desk and walked to his chair on all fours.

Peter noticed that he had a slight limp when he walked slowly, and that his missing left hand was taking its toll on him.

Even in his werewolf form, the criss-crossing scars on his body are still clearly visible, and one scar on his flank is so deep that it is suspected that it has never healed.

Peter recalled the scene when Lupine tore Snape's abdomen. This horrible scar was probably left at that time.

Snape once said that he lived so that he would have the chance to take revenge on the Marauders on a full moon night, so that they too would become werewolves.

But now, Peter was standing in front of the werewolf Snape, so close to him, but he didn't do anything, not only that, but he stepped forward and saved Peter's life.

Snape was already sitting in his own chair, with his head bowed and his paws slumped on the desk, looking a bit like a circus beast imitating human gestures in a weird way.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Peter had just graciously lit the fire, but he finally felt that it would be too shameful not to say anything in the face of saving his life.

"Severus?" Peter asked a question, and it was weird to address a hairy wolf creature like that, even if he was dealing with a werewolf Lupine, let alone Snyder. Common.

But Snape didn't let him go on. He motioned weakly for Peter to come closer, then awkwardly grabbed the quill and began scribbling with difficulty on the back of a student's potions paper that had scored a 'D'.

The letters he wrote were illegible, the first letter was "I", Peter thought he was going to say "I", but the second letter was "D" and the third letter was "I", which is likely Not a good thing to say...

After a while, Snape wrote the whole sentence: "Idiot, go and tell Dumbledore and others not to enter the corridor, and the curse will disappear by dawn."

"The curse will be gone by dawn?" asked Peter, "but how do you know?"

He was full of doubts, did Snape know about the dark magic curse in the basement corridor?Why would he know the conditions for the curse to disappear so clearly?
And it was all happening on Slytherin grounds, so if Snape knew about it, why didn't he stop it beforehand?
Snape didn't answer, he slowly lay down on the table, his ears drooping.

Peter frowned suspiciously, and took a step back subconsciously. This was not like the symptoms when the wolfsbane potion failed. If the wolfsbane potion failed, the werewolf should become extremely violent instead of lying on the table.

Peter approached him again, hesitated, and pushed him, but he didn't respond at all, and the sound of breathing became weaker and weaker.

He turned around Snape, and this time he noticed that the shaggy gray-black fur on Snape's shoulders seemed to have been soaked in a large area. Since the fur was darker in color, and it was long and matted, it was difficult Discover.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was indeed blood. Then he pulled the hairs away, and found several deep wounds hidden underneath, which were bleeding.

He knew how long the teeth of those black snakes were, even if they didn't bite in completely, those snake teeth could penetrate directly into the chest cavity from the shoulders, not to mention that they were mostly poisonous.

He hastily searched Snape's potions cache for dill essence and antidote, and immediately dripped them on the wounds.

After a puff of white smoke, the wound looked like it had healed for a few days, but the blood was still oozing out slowly.

Peter knew that this kind of treatment was not enough for black magic damage. It was entirely possible that Snape's body was still bleeding violently, but his understanding of potions had never exceeded the scope of his student days, which was already something he could do. to the maximum extent.

It's also suspicious to say that Snape had time to heal himself just now, but he didn't do anything.Would he be willing to be poisoned next to his potion storage as a pharmacist?
But no matter what Snape thought, Peter absolutely didn't want him to die, let alone die to save himself.

He also summoned a patron saint to find Dumbledore, and he believed that Dumbledore would have a way.
