Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 404
"...fall into the hands of that little wizard!"

Blake repeated, shaking his head slowly, he couldn't believe it...wait!Think about it carefully... that little wizard really...

"Blake, I remember you once said that after you became an Animagus, it was McGuffin who called you Padfoot the first time, didn't you?" Lupine also reacted, and he hurriedly asked, "And he brought you into Hogwarts, and he brought you to Hagrid who fainted in Hogwarts Castle...Isn't it?"

Those words cleared Blake's mind.

"I seem to remember what Hagrid and Ron said... that mouse, that is, Peter, disappeared for a while. Yes, Peter left blood on the bed sheet... bit himself... pretended to be dead, and hid again... This approach has been successful once. But it was finally found by McGuffin Albert."

Blake's eyes were dazed, recalling memories related to the little wizard.

"No," he went on, "couldn't it be that the little wizard was imprisoned by Peter? Then Peter took the form of the little wizard?"

"I remember when Hagrid and Charlie were chatting, they once said that in the last school year, a dark wizard imprisoned a professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and pretended to be that professor at Hogwarts through a modified version of the [Poison Potion] potion."

It's okay for Blake not to mention this, let's talk about this topic.

The muscles on Snape's face began to twitch like a bat monster.

--boom!

With a strong flick of his wand, Black and Lupine's new bindings all tore apart and fell to the ground.

"Snape!" Black stood up, he couldn't believe that this old opponent would believe his own words when he had such an advantage.

Outrageous!

Black moved his wrist slightly, raised his head, and when he was about to say something, he was taken aback by Snape's twitching face.

Snape stared at the two of them and said word by word, "Don't make me regret it!"

"First of all, I don't believe you two, I just..."

"only--"

"FK him Voldemort, FK him Dumbledore... This old guy hasn't fired the damned MacGuffin Albert yet!" Snape broke down a bit, completely losing his mind and yelling curses, full of obscenities.

"Anything related to this crazy kid, even the most absurd thing, can't be taken for granted..."

Seeing the madman-like eyes of Lupine and Black, Snape was even angrier, and he yelled at Black, "Didn't you mention the dark wizard last semester? Didn't you say that Peter might turn into a little wizard?"

"I'll tell you right now,—that-never-can-possible!"

He yelled word by word, spit sprayed Blake all over his face, and he also knocked down a lot of dust from the ceiling.

"Let me tell you what happened to that dark wizard last semester!"

"He tried to kidnap the little wizard to find the World Tree for him, but in the end, when no one knew what happened, he was blown to pieces..."

"That's right, it blew itself up on the spot... and nearly collapsed the entire Hogwarts. Where's the little wizard?"

"He - intact!"

"...And got a World Tree seedling, a rare ancient Egyptian magic rune [Golden Libra] engraved."

"Last semester, the Dark Lord and his servants also called this little wizard's attention,—and the result?"

"One became a [headless golden statue] and was auctioned off to Gringotts by the Ministry of Magic, and shared the spoils with those idiots on the Hogwarts board... One lost his servant and ran back to the Black Forest of Algeria in desperation..."

"Peter Pettigrew... oh, he's a fart!"

Lupine and Black stared at Snape blankly, pouring everything out as if he had lost his mind.

Snape stood there emotionally and couldn't help himself, with some complicated emotions in his eyes, his face was distorted.

For some reason, Black felt that Snape was very afraid of this little wizard, perhaps it was because of this that he temporarily let go of his attachment and hatred towards Lupine and himself.

"If this little wizard gets involved and gets his friend's mouse away, no matter how outrageous your story is... that mouse must be useful to this crazy little wizard, he must be doing something wrong... I have to go back, catch him with my own hands, yes, this time I will expel him..."

Snape muttered to himself, then took out a goblet from inside his robes and gave it directly to Lupine.

The potion inside was steaming hot, and the goblet seemed to have been cast by magic, even though it was thrown over like that, the potion didn't spill out at all.

"Come on, you two."

"Go back to Hogwarts and quickly find that little wizard, find Peter Scabbers..."

He said coldly, "Besides, Lupine hurry up and drink the [Wolfwolf Potion] for me. I don't want to have to fight a werewolf on the way."

Under Black's worried eyes, Lupine raised the potion and drank it down with a frown. His body twitched immediately, and it took a while for him to calm down. His face became very pale and weak.

"Okay, let's go!"

Snape had just taken half a step leading them when there was a piercing scream and hum from outside Hogsmeade.

Just like a chainsaw rubbing against an iron plate, the ear-piercing roar made the three of them dizzy.

Immediately afterwards, before they could ask any questions, the hairs on their skin stood up, goose bumps appeared all over their bodies, and they shivered involuntarily.

The temperature in the room dropped a few degrees out of thin air.

A thick white mist began to slip through the gaps between the wooden doors and windows, and even a layer of mist first appeared on the nearby wallpaper and floor, and then a layer of hoarfrost slowly formed.

As all this was going on, the white mist began to gradually creep in from the vents of the house and the gaps between the boards, overflowing under their feet, tumbling, like a stream... flowing slowly.

The icy cold feeling spread from the neck of the legs to the spine.

The few of them felt as if someone was holding a cold needle, inserting it into their bodies, and constantly extracting something...

Some of the darkest, painful memories from the back of my mind came flooding back.

Snape recalled hearing the news of Lily's loss... how he felt heart-rending pain...

Blake seemed to be in the night of searching for Peter again, and once again stood in James' broken home, and found the only survivor from the ruins-little Harry Potter, and the pale and motionless bodies of James and Lily next to him.

Lupine thought over and over again how it felt to be a werewolf alone, and all the friends who accompanied him all disappeared overnight...

Bitter cold, unpleasant pain began to slowly flow into the hearts of the three, filling every nerve in their brains.

"This is?" Feeling the familiar chill and familiar scene, Black's expression was full of disbelief.

But he wasn't the only one thinking that way, Snape also reacted immediately, he stepped to the window, opened a gap in a low voice with his wand, and looked out from the inside.

The entire street in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade was flooded with billowing white mist,

The fog was as thick as some kind of spoiled milk, dead white, so thick that it completely blocked Snape's vision.

Fortunately, the Screaming Shack is close to the edge of Hogsmeade, and the white fog is not thick...

That's right, the whole white mist only covered Hogsmeade Wizarding Village, and even covered the lower part, about one and a half floors high, and it was precisely because of this that Snape could see the panoramic view of the entire street.

"Dementors!"

At some point, Lupine took his wand and opened a hole in the window on the other side. He and Black also lay on top of it, looking out.

"That's right—it's a dementor!" Black confirmed. "I can't help but understand this feeling of constantly sucking people's souls... But, how is it possible?"

"I remember reading from the Daily Prophet that Hagrid ordered, aren't these monsters... together with the Leicesters and the Death Eaters?"

Speaking of this, the three people present immediately thought of a terrible possibility.

"No, no!"

"Dementors need food. In the past few months, there is no evidence of dementors appearing nearby. It is impossible for them to cover up the traces of absorbing human emotions." Black shook his head too hard, and the amplitude increased, which actually caused the fat on his face to burst out.

Snape didn't even laugh at Black's performance, which he also wondered about.

"Look, what's that!" Lupine asked, trembling slightly.

Because it was too obstructive to see, Snape and Lupine waved their wands to take down two wooden boards, and then carefully hid behind the wall, and they looked out.

A black figure rose suddenly from the white mist that engulfed the streets of Hogsmeade, and with it a stream of white mist, a white line shot into the air, and—

Extremely expanded.

The figure in the black robe, like some kind of dementor, became extremely huge, and soon surpassed Hagrid, almost as huge as a giant or a full-grown dragon.

A black shadow covered the entire sky over Hogsmeade,
The thing let out a piercing screech and hovered over the street.

There were bursts of white mist, and the pervasive mist made the air here even more cold and desperate.

The three carefully avoided the sight of the monster, observing its fluttering robe.

Snape and Lupine clutched their wands, wary.

After whistling a few times, the colossal monster headed towards the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts Castle surrounded by a layer of white mist.

"go!"

Lupine's voice was as hard as steel, and even Black had never heard him speak like that.

"We have to go to Hogwarts and watch Harry."

"All this shows that something must have happened there!"

But before a few people raised their feet, there was a loud bang on the streets of Hogwarts,
The huge explosion directly blasted a corner of the white fog surrounding the street, and the thick fog rolled away from the house——

——There is [Honey Dukes]!
……

"Ron, are you all right?"

Fred looked at that side of his head very worriedly, there was a big cut where the hair covered it, and the coagulated blood almost covered half of his cheek.

"It's okay! McGuffin has temporarily stopped the bleeding. After we return to Hogwarts, please ask Madam Pomfrey to take a look..."

Ron closed his eyes and shook his head, still looking dizzy.

After George saw it, he helped him up even harder.

Then he looked at McGuffin who was leading the way ahead with a complicated expression.

At this time, he, or Ron Hermione, they also realized that everyone didn't really know this third-year student who was nicknamed "Mad Hat", "Dark Lord II" and "Black Nightmare" at Hogwarts-McGuffin Albert.

He had just been surrounded by so many Death Eaters, and he had managed to rescue almost all of them.

Unbelievable.

"Hermione, where have we been?" McGuffin asked, turning his head, he was walking in the front.

McGuffin summoned the [Calling Nightmare] and let the Thestral-like black monster explore the way in front to ensure that several people would not be attacked by Death Eaters.

And Hermione barely supported her body, observed the similarities and differences of these underground secret passages, and compared them with her extraordinary memory to find a way out.

To be honest, not only Hermione was suffering from the Cruciatus Curse and was not in good condition, Ron's wound... even McGuffin himself...

——It's about to get out of control.

Every movement in the secret passage, even every whisper of Hermione Ron and the twins, buzzed in his head and turned into all kinds of chaotic noises, which were extremely ear-piercing.

Not only that, the magic power that was originally consumed in the body has been consumed a lot after the last rescue operation, and he is still using [Calling God Nightmare], a black magic similar to the ancient spell.

Every time the black flame monster similar to thestrals communicated with him at a deep level, he could feel the gradual changes in his body.

——The [Blood Curse] in his body gradually began to wake up, unable to be suppressed.

The neck, arms, and back around the shoulder blades began to emit bursts of hot and cold, melting and freezing sensations,

These feelings alternate back and forth.

Without checking, McGuffin knew that the scales had come out.

【Blood Curse】The speed of eroding his body, brain and mind is getting faster and faster.

Uncontrollable irritability, anger, powerlessness, and hatred filled his brain. For a moment, he even wanted to drop Ron and the others directly, looking for the Death Eaters, and directly waving the unforgivable curses such as [Cruciatus Curse] and [Ava Pit Melon Curse] to fight.

As time passed, this desire became stronger in his heart, and the mutation in his body became more obvious.

Up to now, he can clearly see every trace of the dark corner in the deepest part of the tunnel (snake's sight) without even using the [Fluorescent Curse].

But thanks to this, McGuffin was able to take Ron and the others away from the Death Eaters who had escaped and were about to go mad.
