Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Another spell came from the end of his wand, with a heart-pounding glow.

Just when his magic was about to touch Black, a boy's slightly immature but extremely firm voice sounded in the common room.

"Armor protection!"

A red light came first, and it seemed that an invisible wall appeared in front of Black, Snape's magic was bounced and flew aside.Everyone turned their heads in surprise and saw Ivan running in from the entrance of the portrait panting. It was the spell he used that saved Sirius Black just now.

"Evan!" Harry and Hermione shouted happily.

Ai Wen nodded to the two of them, and it seemed that he had finally caught up.

He glanced at the situation in the common room, Harry and Hermione collapsed on the ground, the two of them were being pointed at by Ron with his wand, and Sirius Black fell by the wall, Ivan's gaze immediately fell to his face gloomy On the watery Snape, he was looking at himself with disgust.

"Professor Snape, you can't hurt Sirius Black, what happened tonight is a conspiracy, Sirius is innocent, it's all..."

"Enough, Mason!" Snape screamed. "Before you came, Potter and Granger have told me countless times, don't tell me that Peter Pettigrew is still alive. , you three have been brainwashed by Blake, you don't even know what you are doing!"

Ivan looked at Snape in surprise. He found that the other party's current state was very strange, and Snape's appearance was not the same as usual.He had never imagined in his life that he would see such an uncontrollable twisted expression on Snape's sullen face, and hatred had blinded his eyes.

He seemed crazy, desperate to capture and kill Sirius Black.

"professor……"

"Shut up, Mason!" Snape yelled, "You and Potter are too presumptuous. You have done too many things without rules for a long time. Dumbledore's indulgence has given you too much enjoyment." See what you've done since you entered school, create a ridiculous newspaper, think you can catch a basilisk single-handedly, go to Hogsmeade against the rules, fight dangerous werewolves, lead friends into danger, and now Believe the nonsense of a dangerous murderer! It's enough, I will suggest that the principal give you a temporary suspension from school..."

"I don't care about the punishment!" Ivan interrupted the other party, "We have no time, Peter Pettigrew may escape at any time."

"Where is he, where is that vile coward?" Black growled.

"He's in Professor Lupin's office, but he's about to run away. He's going into the Forbidden Forest! We have to stop him. If he leaves the protective magic range of the school, he can Phantom." Ivan said anxiously, "Hurry up, Sirius!"

Hearing Ivan's words, Black turned into a black dog. He rushed out of the common room in a hurry, jumped aside after taking two steps, and avoided Snape's spell.

"You're going nowhere, Black!" Snape snapped, another spell coming from the end of his wand.

"There are many obstacles!" Ivan shouted, and he stopped Snape.

The two fought in the common room, Blake froze for a moment, turned around and rushed out of the common room.

Crookshanks jumped on top of Black, and Harry and Hermione grabbed their wands and the Marauder's Map and hurried to follow.

Ron hesitated for a while, and then left.

Now, only Ivan and Snape were left in the common room. The two of them were fighting and casting spells.

The atmosphere became more and more tense. Seeing Snape's extremely angry gaze, Ivan involuntarily clenched his wand tightly.

Chapter 172 The duel between Alvin and Snape

"Get out of the way, Mason!" Snape said grimly, waving his wand quickly, not slowing down at all because Ivan was his student.

"Be reasonable, professor, you know very well in your heart that Black is innocent!" Ivan yelled loudly while avoiding Snape's spell, "It's all Peter Pettigrew. He used the Imperius Curse to control Luo. Well, he was the one who planned the whole plot."

Snape turned a deaf ear to Ivan's shout.

His eyes, filled with vengeful anger, were fixed on Black.

Black turned into a huge black dog and jumped over Ivan, and crawled out from the entrance of the portrait. Snape hurried after him, stopped immediately, and dodged Ivan's stun spell.

"Ewen Mason!" Seeing Black's disappearing figure, Snape gritted his teeth and said with a distorted expression on his face, "I'll say it one last time, get out of my way! Otherwise I'll make you regret stopping me... ..."

Ivan panted, and stopped in front of the entrance and exit of the common room.

He held his wand, didn't budge, and answered Snape with action.

"Fine!" said Snape frantically, a look of desperation flashing across his face.

He quickly chanted a spell in his mouth, swishing his wand in the air, and uttered several spells in succession, flying towards Ivan like a dagger shining with cold light.

Ivan rushed to the right, rolled on the ground, dodging Snape's magic in embarrassment, and at the same time cast an Iron Armor Curse on himself as quickly as possible.

Under the protection of the Iron Armor Curse, a red curse brushed against his body and flew aside.

The powerful impact made Aiwen lose his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

Ai Wen hurriedly got up, ignoring the pain in his back.

He saw a blue magic light coming towards him, and he hurriedly waved his wand at the small round wooden table in front of him.

The wooden table floated, spun rapidly, and stood upright to block Snape's attack.

With a puff, a big hole was forcibly punched out by the blue light on the tabletop of the small wooden table, which was originally very strong and hard.

It flew backwards quickly, then came to a sudden stop.Under the effect of Aiwen's spell, the worn wooden table flew towards Snape again.

The wooden table in mid-air began to deform. It fell heavily to the ground and turned into a big black snake, showing sharp fangs, and slid towards Ivan.

Aiwen took a deep breath and held his breath. The end of his wand emitted a silver-white light, which turned into a sharp sword and cut the big black snake in front of him in half.The silver-white sharp sword continued unabated, with a fierce offensive, it slashed towards Snape.

The expression on Snape's face was a little surprised. He didn't seem to have imagined that Ivan could use such powerful magic.

He waved his wand wildly, muttering a spell in his mouth.

In the next second, a semicircular white barrier magic suddenly appeared in front of Snape, and Ivan's spell slammed into it, leaving ripples on the barrier.

Ivan looked at the barrier in front of Snape in astonishment, and the questions that had been troubling his mind tonight were suddenly solved.

Sure enough, it was him, and it was all Snape's doing: stopping Pettigrew from leaving the castle in the foyer, protecting himself, Harry, and Hermione from Peter's black magic that exploded evil, and finally fainting Send yourself to the school hospital.

If Ivan was hesitant at first, now that he sees Snape's white barrier magic, he doesn't have any doubts.

This extremely defensive barrier magic is similar to Shenfeng Wuying, and it should have been created by Snape himself. Ivan has never seen a description of similar magic before.

Unlike the Iron Armor Curse, which formed an invisible wall to block attacks, Snape's magic formed a protective barrier that could be seen.This barrier has an extremely strong defensive power, it does not reflect magic attacks, but completely absorbs them.As long as the magic power does not exceed the caster itself, the barrier cannot be breached.

In addition, the barrier can also prevent others from passing through.

In the foyer, Ivan saw Peter Pettigrew being bounced back heavily.

Snape must have been there at the time, and Ivan was sure that his previous judgment was completely correct. He was sure that he saw Snape behind the curtain.

Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief, his painstaking efforts at the time seemed not in vain.

At the risk of Pettigrew Peter escaping, he did not directly stun Peter with a stun spell, but deliberately guided him and Sirius Black, who was in a frenzy of anger, so that the two of them could completely restore the truth of the year.

He deliberately gave Peter Pettigrew a chance to defend himself. The purpose of Ivan's doing this was to let Snape know the truth of what happened that year, apart from promising Dumbledore to do his best to save Ron.

Presumably Snape, who was hiding behind the curtain, should have heard it clearly, and he should also know who betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort.

Who killed Lily, the only woman he ever loved in his life.

However, Ivan still didn't understand, and didn't understand Snape's thoughts.

Since he already knew the truth of the incident back then, why didn't he come out, why didn't he stop Peter Pettigrew, and give Peter a chance to escape into the Forbidden Forest? !

Looking at Professor Snape with a gloomy face, Ivan sighed heavily. He didn't know what the other party was thinking at that time, but he suddenly felt an unusual sadness.

Unable to explain why, he suddenly felt that Professor Snape was very pitiful.Even if he didn't spend 12 years in Azkaban like Sirius Black, but his heart suffered in the past 12 years, no less than Black.

Ivan didn't want to continue the fight. He was going to tell Snape all the facts. Apart from Harry, he was the one who had the most right to know the truth about Lily's death.

But Snape didn't give Ivan a chance to explain. He took a step forward, still waving his wand, completely entering a duel state.

The big snake that was originally cut in half by Ai Wen suddenly turned into puffs of black smoke. Within a few seconds, the black smoke deformed and solidified into densely packed little cobras. Text surrounded.

Ivan's face was covered with sweat, his wand swept across, and a circular halo-shaped blue flame appeared, quickly spreading outward from the center of his soles, burning quietly on the floor, and the blue flame When the flames touched, all the cobras in front of him turned into black smoke, turned into ashes and disappeared.

This is the magic he learned in the restricted section of the library, and it consumes a lot.

The cobra in front of Ivan completely disappeared, but more and more new cobras appeared around him. He took a step back and fell on the sofa behind him.

About two seconds later, the sofa under Aiwen's buttocks suddenly came alive, and transformed into a black python again, wrapping Aiwen's body tightly by surprise.The giant python roared, opened its bloody mouth bigger than Aiwen, and came down, ready to swallow Aiwen whole.

Chapter 173 The Existence of Contradiction

Just when the giant python was about to touch Ivan, it suddenly turned into a snake-like black belt, which automatically wrapped around Ivan's neck, wrists and ankles, layer by layer, binding Ivan from head to toe. Be strong.

Aiwen was tied like a mummy, lying powerlessly on the ground.

"I should have done this to you long ago, you and Potter are a problem!" Snape said grimly, "Remember, Mr. Know-it-all! Before you engage in a duel in the future, you need to distinguish each other's strengths Don't try to challenge those opponents that you can't beat, this kind of behavior is purely courting death!"

"professor……"

"Shut up, and lie here quietly before I catch Black." Snape turned his head and tucked his wand back into his waist. "Helping a murderer is so stupid! If I were the headmaster, I would do it first." That will get you and Potter fired."

Snape walked around Ivan, preparing to leave the common room.

"Wait a minute, professor!" Ivan shouted hastily, "You can't catch Sirius Black, he is innocent, it's all Peter Pettigrew..."

Snape ignored Ivan's shout, with a gloomy face, without pausing at all, and walked out of the Gryffindor common room sideways.

"12 years ago, Peter Pettigrew betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort, and he killed Harry's mother!" Ivan continued to shout, hoping that Snape could hear him, "If you want If you want to avenge Lily, you must believe me."

Aiwen's voice echoed in the empty common room.

He didn't know if Snape heard what he said, or if he did, but he still didn't believe him as before.

Believing that Sirius Black was innocent was a very difficult thing for Snape, who had been blinded by hatred.He seems to have completely lost his mind in this matter, and all he wants to do now is catch and kill Black.

Ivan only hoped that hearing Lily's name would calm him down a bit.

A full three seconds passed, and no footsteps could be heard outside, and Snape seemed to have walked away.

Just when Ivan gave up hope, he saw Snape fold back again.

He held his wand in his hand again, with a gloomy and terrifying face, and he quickly walked up to Ivan.

"Repeat what you just said, Mason!" Snape looked down at Ivan, his cold voice without any emotion, "Tell me what happened that year, if you dare to lie, I will make you pay costly."

"Believe me, professor!" Ivan said hurriedly, "Peter Pettigrew betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort. He was a traitor. Peter did everything. He killed Harry's mother Lily. .”

"Blake is their secret keeper!" Snape paused.

"No, at the suggestion of Sirius, Harry's parents changed the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew at the last minute, and no one but the four of them knew it. They thought it was a coup, and no one would Thinking that the secret keeper of the Potters would be Peter Pettigrew, who has always been weak and humble."

"These are all Blake's nonsense, he's lying, he's evading his responsibility for betraying them." Snape's gaze became empty, and he stared blankly ahead.

Ivan knew that this was because the other party was using Occlumency. It seemed that Snape didn't want to let himself know what he was thinking, and he didn't want to show his true intentions.He didn't want others to know that his feelings for Harry's mother, Lily Evans, were the softest and most vulnerable part of his heart.

Snape protected his heart tightly without revealing the slightest gap.

From his current appearance, it seemed that he was trying to figure out the truth of what happened back then, but in fact, he only cared about Lily.He won't say it, if possible, he will bury it in his heart, forever, until the moment of his death.

He obviously loves someone deeply and is willing to give everything for her, but he will never say it out loud.

The most hated enemy married the woman he loved the most in his life, and he could only silently send blessings behind his back.

The only love in my life, the existence that was willing to give everything to protect, was killed because of his leak in the end.

As the most outstanding wizard, even Dumbledore relied on his magic, but he died so embarrassingly in the end.

The greatest double agent of all time, he tricked everyone, including the Dark Lord, but didn't really get to know him until after his death.

This is Snape, a contradictory existence to the extreme.

"Peter Pettigrew is not dead, he is an Animagus, he is now Ron's Mouse Scabbers, and he is the one who controlled Ron with the Imperius Curse." Looking at Snape's empty eyes, Ivan continued. , "Trust me, professor, I will prove it to you."

Snape stood there quietly without speaking, he was waiting for Ivan to continue.

"Peter Pettigrew is about to escape now, he is in Professor Lupin's office! If you are fast enough, you can meet him in the lobby on the first floor." Ivan panted, "Trust me, just stop the one that is about to escape You can know the truth of what happened back then."

As soon as Ivan finished speaking, Snape immediately turned around and left. Because of too much force, the hem of his black robe was in the air, making a trembling sound.

Looking at the back of Snape leaving in a hurry, Ivan was stunned for a moment.

The other party didn't seem to intend to release him, or because he couldn't wait to verify what he just said, he forgot him here in a hurry.

Ai Wen struggled hard, but the rope on his body became tighter and tighter.

"Animagus!" he muttered under his breath.

In the next second, Aiwen's body changed rapidly, turning into a petite black cat, before the rope was tightened again, he jumped aside sensitively.

Ai Wen left the common room and quickly ran to the foyer along the empty dark path.As he approached there, he heard Sirius Black's frenzied growling in the foyer as he confronted Pettigrew.

Everything was exactly the same as what he had experienced before. Snape prevented Peter Pettigrew from escaping the castle at the last moment. He was standing quietly behind the curtain on the second floor, holding his wand tightly with both hands, listening to the conversation in the hall .

"I know, I admit, I was really confused, but you have to think for me, what can I do? You don't know, that Dark Lord, his powerful weapon, you can't even imagine, I was Scared, Sirius!"

Ivan heard Peter Pettigrew's sharp, trembling voice coming up, and he admitted everything.

Hearing these words, Snape, who was standing behind the curtain, took a sharp step back.

He seemed in disbelief at this, with a look of pain on his face.
