Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 48 Harry’s Godmother

The Fat Lady's words instantly froze the air, and everyone's eyes turned to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore turned around and shouted: "Everyone must be back in the common room by nine o'clock this week. All Defense Against the Dark Arts professors will start patrols at night from today. Stay vigilant at all times until we catch Sirius. And , I will add protective spells to all portraits tomorrow.

Then Dumbledore looked at the students: "Okay, go and have a rest.

When Winters and the others returned to the common room, they found Hermione's ginger-yellow cat sleeping soundly on the table.

"Crookshanks...where have you been, you guy?" Hermione was so excited that she couldn't stop crying.

"I just said that a cat is a very smart animal. He will not be stupid." Ron comforted Hermione, and then quickly ran to his dormitory.

"Ron, is Scabbers still here?" Winters already guessed what Ron was looking for.

"Ah... of course... it's still there, it's just frightened..." Ron looked relaxed when he came out.Crookshanks stared in the direction of Ron's dormitory, bristling.

"What's going on with this cat?" Ron asked nervously.

"Crookshanks, let's go" Hermione quickly picked up Crookshanks.

"I will send Scabbers back this Christmas. Otherwise, he will be scared to death sooner or later," Ron said in fear, looking at the fried Crookshanks.

"It's best to send him back. If he is frightened every day, he may be frightened to death." Winters kept yawning.He fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.Maybe he ate too much, and he couldn't sleep well. He first dreamed of a big dog, and then he dreamed that Ron's rat Scabbers suddenly turned into a short and fat man, and then the black dog suddenly rushed to Wen. Tes barked.

"No!" Winters suddenly stood up from the bed, covered in cold sweat.

"Ah... Merlin's beard... What's wrong with you?" Neville and Ron were frightened and woke up.

"No...it's nothing...it's just a nightmare...I dreamed about a big dog...it was still black." Winters rubbed his eyes.

"Well...it is said that Sirius' Animagus form is a big black dog," Neville said tremblingly.

"Where's Harry? He was sleeping so deeply? He wasn't even frightened to wake up. The fluorescence was flashing." Ron took out his wand.Then he saw Harry gone somewhere.

When Ron went to check out Harry's bed, he accidentally kicked over Scabbers' box.Later, he found that Mouse Spot's box was also empty, and the mouse was not inside.

"Damn it, where are the others?" Luo scolded.

"Don't we still have the Marauder's Map?" Winters said.

"Yes, the Marauder's Map... Harry usually puts the Marauder's Map under his pillow... The Marauder's Map is gone too" Ron's face was shocked and angry.

"The Marauder's Map is gone, and the Invisibility Cloak must be gone as well... Where are his shoes?" Winters had already picked up his wand and started to put on his coat.

"What are you doing?" Ron was confused.

"Harry must have dealt with Sirius. You should remember that he said that the servants of the mysterious man came to see him." Winters took out the shoes from under his bed with the light of his wand.

"Wait for me. I'll go with you. During this time, I also practiced some invisibility spells." Ron hurriedly got dressed and picked up his wand.

"Hmm...can you stay invisible for 30 minutes?" Winters was a little doubtful.

"It won't take more than 6 minutes, but the success rate of casting the spell is 100%." ​​Ron was already dressed.

"Okay then...but I'll be the first to say something ugly...by..."

"I won't turn you in if you get caught," Ron said firmly.

"The sooner you do it, the better. We can't tell if the professor comes." Neville knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only hope that they would come back faster.

"Go to the lounge door and cast the invisibility spell," Winters said.

He had never run around Hogwarts in the middle of the night before, and this was his first time doing so.Hogwarts at 1am was eerily quiet and very dark.

"Does the invisibility spell have an effect on the wand's light?" Ron suddenly asked.

"The fluorescent flash, can you see it?" Winters asked Ron.

"I can't see... then... the fluorescent light is flashing, can you see my light?" Ron asked.

"It looks very useful... let's go quickly," Winters whispered.

The entire corridor would have been completely invisible if it weren't for the light from the wand.Before Ron had walked a certain distance, he would quietly cast an invisibility spell on himself.They were on tenterhooks all the way, because the portrait next to them kept snoring, and they always felt like they were being watched.

They heard Snape's voice around the corner on the second floor.

"Filch, do you see a ginger cat?"

"No. And I didn't see the big black dog you mentioned."

Then Snape left.Winters couldn't see Ron's expression, but he could feel Ron's fear - because he had encountered similar magic fluctuations.

"Hermione?" Ron whispered.

"We have to hurry up... This is not a good sign." Winters felt an indescribable sense of fear. Could it be that Aurora also ran out?

"Let's go quickly," Ron said anxiously.

About 10 minutes later, they arrived at the playground and the temperature was very low.Ice has appeared in some places on the surface of the Black Lake.

"How should we go now?" Ron looked desperately at the ice reflecting the moonlight.

"Since Snape said he saw a ginger cat, it must be Crookshanks. Let's find it... What is that?" Winters suddenly saw an owl circling in the sky.

"That's... it's coming towards us... Animagus? We're still invisible now." Ron was frightened.

"Hide!" Winters and Ron immediately hid in a bush.Then they saw clearly what the owl looked like under the moonlight: it was all white.A pair of sharp, big eyes were looking at where they were hiding.

"Hedwig?" Ron looked at the owl carefully.

"Yes... Hedwig... That's right. It's either an Animagus or Hedwig." Winters' tense nerves relaxed.

"She must have seen that Harry was in trouble, so she was waiting for us," Ron said happily.Hedwig seemed to understand Ron's words, and she immediately flew into the sky.Then it flew around and around, flying in a circle within a circle, but in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"If we follow her, we can find Harry" Winters immediately started running.

Winters' feeling was correct, Hedwig was indeed showing them the way.When they were out of breath, Hedwig landed on a rock with a strange-looking tree in front of it.Crookshanks looked at Winters and Ron from under the rock

"The Whomping Willow? How could Harry be in the Whomping Willow?" Ron was stunned.Crookshanks ran to Ron's feet, and then ran to the other side. After going back and forth three times, he stopped moving and looked at Ron and Winters.

"It seems to be calling us over... Hide quickly... Someone is coming," Winters shouted nervously.He saw a mass of darkness approaching in the distance.

"I regret running out." Ron was really scared. Winters guessed that Ron's face might have twisted into a ball.

As soon as they hid, the black shadow landed.It's Snape.

Winters then saw in the moonlight that Snape's face was expressionless, but his movements were hesitant.Snape waved his wand and heard the sound of wood clashing, and the branches of the Whomping Willow immediately retracted.Then Snape opened a secret passage from the ground and walked down.

"What should we do?" Winters looked at the place where Snape had been standing.

"Let's find the mechanism that Snape touched first. I don't want to be beaten by the Whomping Willow," Ron whispered.They followed Crookshanks to a hole in the trunk of the Whomping Willow tree, with a piece of wood underneath.

"It should be right here" Winters was a little excited.He waved his wand and the piece of wood hit the hole with a "scratch" sound, and the outstretched branch of the Whomping Willow immediately retracted.

Then they found the entrance to the secret passage under Crookshanks' prompt, and they walked in carefully.They didn't take a few steps when they heard two sounds, one was a crazy sound, and the other was like sandpaper grinding rusty iron.

"I think we have to thank the pure-blood traitor, Celis Black. Without her wanting to protect her godson so much, we wouldn't have been able to get in so easily."

"Severus, why don't you take action? I remember you and her are enemies." A high-pitched voice carried the pleasure of revenge.

"I think Severus might want to prove that he is still useful to his master, so is it good evidence that he killed the boy?"

"The master clearly asked him to live. The boy has a rare magic: the amulet of sacrifice. The master wants to study it. As for the two mudblood girls, the one who ran away is left alone. The rest, I think The werewolf Fenrir should still have a great interest in human flesh."

"Why doesn't your master come in person... Are you a coward? He keeps saying that he doesn't take Dumbledore seriously at all. And from the beginning to the end of the last war, when did he fight against Dumbledore? He is ..." There was only a bang, the woman let out a dull shout, and said nothing more.

"Come on, Severus. The blood of your enemies is the best proof of your loyalty." It was that high-pitched voice again.Winters looked at the direction of the sound in fear.

He saw at least 5 people in the room, Harry, and a witch wearing shabby clothes lying on the ground. A witch acting crazy gave Snape her wand.The wizard next to him had a full beard and pointed his wand at Snape.

"I think I am more valuable to my master here" Snape did not take the witch's wand.

"Severus, if we win, no one will hold you accountable for your mistakes." A high-pitched voice came out, but Winters didn't know the source of the voice.

"Wormtail, shut up. If it weren't for the lame clues you provided, how could the master fail?" Snape said fiercely.

"It's not your turn to convict him here. Snape, you'd better act quickly."

"Even if I kill these people, can we escape? Aurors and police have already monitored this place."

"God doesn't know, ghosts don't know. I know what Aurors are like nowadays. It's impossible for a group of trash who can't even master the Iron Armor Charm to catch us. As for those Muggle police, their weapons will only hurt. to the innocent hapless man”

"We? The difference in numbers is more than 30 times. Do you have any support?" Snape remained calm.

"No response, but I don't think those rubbish can catch me. Do you want to do anything?" It was that sandpaper-like voice again.

"Ron, you find a way to make noise to attract their attention," Winters whispered.

"Your spell is too powerful, it will blow them all away." Ron must have thought of the defeated mountain monster.

"I use the transformation spell" Winters was ready.

"I'm going to faint, and then you rush over." Ron made up his mind, but he was still scared.

"Hurry up" Winters didn't see who the girl lying on the ground was. What he was most afraid of now was Aurora lying on the ground.

"Collapsed" Ron shouted loudly after taking a deep breath.

"Potter's friends are here"

"Then let's kill them together"

After Ron shouted and fell unconscious, Winters rushed over immediately.The bearded wizard's wand emitted a silver light, but it was blocked by the shield conjured by Winters. Then the shield shattered into countless match ropes and rushed towards the wizard.Then there was a muffled sound, and the wizard fell to the ground motionless.

Upon seeing this, the disheveled witch immediately waved her wand, and a green light filled the entire narrow corridor.But Winters was already prepared. He appeared behind the witch with a cry. The moment the witch was confused by the scattered phantom, he transformed into a ball of electrified rope, accompanied by the crackling sound of fire. Afterwards, the witch also fell to the ground, unconscious.

He immediately disappeared, leaving Snape alone.Then a bolt of blue-white lightning struck Snape.Snape was knocked away by the lightning and hit the wall like a broken doll, with all his teeth knocked out.Then Winters reappeared in the middle of the room.

"You...I...three adult wizards...Defence Against the Dark Arts..." Ron stammered as he looked at what was happening in front of him. The whole process took less than 20 seconds.

"Aurora is not here...she must have gone to find the professors." Winters wiped his sweat, his heart beating loudly.

Winters looked down at Hermione.Hermione's face turned horribly pale.Harry was also lying on the ground unconscious. Next to him was a witch, who must be Sirius.Wearing tattered clothes that seemed to be sewn together from various fabrics.

"There is still one missing. I remember the wizard said Wormtail." Winters observed the surroundings alertly.

"There is also Wormtail on the Marauder's Map... Moon Face, Prongs, Padfoot, and Wormtail were all made together," Ron recalled.

"Wormtail is a traitor... He must have run away." The witch beside Harry stood up unsteadily.Harry and Hermione were still unconscious.

"How can a big living person escape?" Ron pointed his wand at Sirius.

"What if he is an Animagus? What if his Animagus is a mouse?" Although Winters was still pointing his wand at the witch in front of him, he looked at Ron.

"What? Impossible... If Scabbers is Wormtail, why hasn't he attacked Harry?" Ron immediately denied it.

"That bastard is a complete coward, a coward, a scumbag, and a waste. He will not harm Harry in front of Dumbledore!" Sirius fell into some kind of madness again.

"Hedwig and Crookshanks are still outside. It would be terrible if he turned into a mouse and ran out." Winters had already put away his wand.

"What should we do now, wait?" Ron looked around.

"The other girl went to see the professor. She should be back soon." Sirius looked at Harry intently, his face full of regret, self-blame, and possibly hatred for himself.

"I've been stuck in the past for too long," Sirius said suddenly.

"Are you his godmother?" Winters looked at the witch in front of him.

"He's my godson" Sirius muttered.Then she looked up at Winters.

"It seems like just yesterday... I remember... when your parents drove away a dementor contaminated by dark magic... I was helping James and Lily evacuate the crowd," Sirius said, revealing a sad smile.

"This is it, Professor" was Aurora's voice.

"Why didn't I discover this place when I was in school?" was the voice of Professor McGonagall.It seemed like a lot of people were coming.

"There are only 24 hours in a day, and human energy is always limited," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Crookshanks was really smart and didn't bite that mouse to death," said Aurora, who was also out of breath.

After a while, a bunch of people came in. Many of them had Auror markings on their bodies. One of them was holding a small transparent jar with a little finger in it.Crookshanks walked over and put the mouse down, and the other two Aurors went to check on Hermione and Harry.

"How about the three of them, Wright?"

"There are no irreversible injuries to these two students, they are just very weak. They need to be sent to the hospital immediately. That professor... I detected a very strong offensive spell. He is seriously injured and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately. He must be A very strong protective spell was used, otherwise he would be dead by now."

"I'll excuse you two, then." Dumbledore nodded to the other two Aurors.Then Dumbledore turned to look at the mouse in front of him.For the first time, he showed an expression of disgust, as if he were looking at a puddle of vomit.After Dumbledore signaled the others to get ready, he picked up his wand.

Dumbledore waved his wand gently at the mouse.This mouse quickly changed, first its eyes, then its trunk, limbs, and ears.Finally, a short, fat man with an almost invisible neck and two eyes almost squeezed together stood before them.

Then, an Oro took out the little finger from the small jar and pressed it on Wormtail's hand that was missing the little finger.Then Dumbledore waved his wand again, and his little finger and hand were perfectly sewn together.

"It seems that our guess was correct. Sirius has indeed stayed in the past for too long. So much so that he forgot that he had a godson who needed her." An Auror said angrily.

"Marlan, now is not the time to reminisce. It is important to clean up the battlefield quickly." Dumbledore stopped the Auror.Winters looked familiar at the Auror in front of him.

"Slaer mentioned you to me. I never dreamed that your magic level was so high." Malan looked at Winters and smiled, then turned to clean up the battlefield with other Aurors.

"No one except Professor Dumbledore could have imagined that you would be so outstanding. I thought you would start a confrontation with them. Unexpectedly, you had already finished the matter when we arrived." Professor McGonagall glanced at the man lying on the ground several times. Servant of Voldemort.

"Who are they?" Winters glanced at the Azkaban escapees who were taken away.

"They are Bellatrix Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange. Death Eaters - the most notorious of Voldemort's servants, they are loyal to anyone who is not loyal to them. Voldemort's people will kill each other, and they will kill a whole family with one move." Dumbledore sighed, his face full of sadness.

"I heard Professor Snape..." What Winters wanted to know most now was what happened to Snape.

"That's a secret between me and him. It's a long story. If I have the chance, I will tell you." Dumbledore interrupted Winters more or less.

Then Dumbledore opened his mouth to say something to Winters, but he just sighed.

Dumbledore suddenly said: "I have decided to give you three days off. After so much, you need to take a good rest."

For the first time, Winters saw an indescribable pain in Dumbledore's bright blue eyes.
