I'm playing a big knife at HP

Chapter 22 A Series of Unfortunate Even

As they walked slowly down the stairs, Marciana listened to the conversation between Black and Harry, the kid was delighted to be able to move away from the Dursleys, and Black sounded delighted too.

"Sires, if you want to be Harry's godfather, you have to work hard," she raised one corner of her mouth, and said in a manly voice, "judging from tonight's performance, this kid is only 13 years old, and he is more mature than you in dealing with people." arrive."

She walked in front and didn't see the expressions on their faces, but she thought everyone was smiling.A lot of people here tonight found something unexpected - Harry got back a loved one; Lupine got back a friend; Blake got back a reason to live; and Martha got back a childhood memory.

Well, Snape had brought back a boyhood enemy.He probably wouldn't be too happy...but it's kind of interesting, isn't it?

They walked forward step by step in the thick night, towards the light from the castle in the distance.Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a full moon appeared, and the soft moonlight illuminated the road in front of us.

Martha carried Snape on her back and walked step by step with her head bowed, when she suddenly heard Hermione's panicky cry behind her, "Oh my God! He didn't take his medicine tonight!"

What did you say? !Martha turned around abruptly.Not far away, Lupine's body stiffened, and he looked up at the full moon.Black hair began to grow on his face, and his nails began to elongate and sharpen.

What a joke!Martha cursed in her heart, and immediately put Snape down, "Resuscitate quickly!"

She pushed the waking Potions Professor towards Hermione: "Explain the situation to him." Her left hand summoned a silver round shield, and the rune on the round shield lit up with blue light.

Marciana tore off the cloak, revealing the all-black tights under the cloak, and rushed towards Lupin at full speed.

She saw Black lift Harry by the clothes on his chest and throw him away, telling him to run.She saw that Lupin's muzzle had turned into a wolf's sharp snout, his height had grown by tens of centimeters, his clothes were ripped apart, his shoulders had become wider, his arms had become longer, and his palms had turned into sharp claws.She saw Black transformed into a bony black dog and wrestled with it.Although the black dog is big in stature, the long-term torture and hardship made it less than one-third of its heyday. It was quickly bitten by the neck, and its front paws frantically scratched the werewolf's chest, but it twitched at the sight . "NO!" Harry cried miserably.

There are still 100 meters.Marciana raised her wand and yelled as she ran.

"Let your strength loose! Pass out!"

Two curses hit the werewolf's head back and forth, its jaw loosened, and the black dog escaped from the sky, whimpering and fell to the ground, struggling with its limbs and struggling to get up.The second curse hurt the werewolf, and instead of fainting, he looked back at her with hatred.

That's bad luck, Marciana thought to herself.Even Lupine is very strong among werewolves, and the magic resistance is weirdly strong.

At this time, Marciana had already run to Harry, and the werewolf rushed towards her. It was huge and moved extremely quickly. The distance of more than fifty meters was only a matter of a few pounces.She could already smell the stench of its breath.

That's too late.

Marciana leaned back, folded her waist softly, supported the ground with her backhand, exerted force on her waist and abdomen, retracted her slender legs and kicked hard like a spring!The moment the werewolf pounced, her feet accurately kicked its fragile abdomen.Following the potential energy of the forward pounce, the werewolf flew forward a long way, passed over Harry's head and fell behind him, and did not get up for a long time.

Without Marciana's reminder, Harry nimbly ran behind her.Suddenly Hermione screamed, and Harry turned around to find that Pedillo had picked up Lupine's wand!

"Expelliarmus!" Harry yelled, sending Lupine's wand flying high.

"The wand is flying!" Marciana immediately connected, and Lupine's wand shot towards her. direction to fly.Snape, who had just woken up, half propped himself up, raised his right hand, and held it accurately.

Your teammate Snape is online.

It was only three seconds before Pedillo picked up Lupine's wand.

Marciana held the shield in her left hand and the magic wand in her right hand. At this time, the werewolf had already got up and was about to pounce. A large number of magic ropes quickly emerged from the tip of Marciana's staff and wrapped around its sharp snout and limbs.

She heard Harry yell, "Sirius! Professor Larosa! He's gone!! Pedillo has gone transformed!"

Marciana cursed inwardly, and when she looked back, she saw that there were only half-empty shackles on the ground, and the mouse had already run away without even a trace of its tail.

"Harry, take Ron and go back to the castle immediately!" Marciana snapped.

Harry quickly put Ron on his shoulders, half-supporting and half-embracing, and walked towards the castle with difficulty.He looked worriedly at the injured and exhausted black dog and Marciana who was confronting the werewolf, but he walked towards Hermione and Snape without slowing down.

Snape held his wand tightly and strode towards Harry. His black robe was puffed up by the night wind, his eyes were burning, his teeth were clenched, and he looked terrifying.Hermione quickly jumped up to pick up her friend - she was a little afraid that Professor Snape's anger was directed at the three of them.

The werewolf howled angrily and struggled frantically. The magic rope was torn apart by the huge force and sharp nails.

It's too strong, and you can't use a spell that is too harmful. It's really handicapped... Marciana rushed to it like lightning as more ropes emerged from the magic wand in her right hand to re-bind the werewolf, leaping high, Hit the werewolf hard on the temple with the edge of the buckler with his left hand.The werewolf yelled at being hit, and raged in pain. He broke free from the rope and bit Marciana frantically.

At this time, the distance between Marciana and the werewolf was very close.too close.

Hermione watched the two fight with cold sweat on her palms.She knew it was very dangerous. After all, no matter how fast it was, it took a wizard one to two seconds to cast a spell.When wizards fight, they usually keep a distance and try to dodge as much as possible.Melee combat is extremely bad for wizards, not to mention that the opponent is a werewolf with amazing speed, strength, and agility.

Marciana slapped the werewolf hard with the round shield in her left hand, slapping the werewolf's head to the side, and at the same time cast a spell on her right hand.Although the spell failed to knock down the werewolf, it also shook it and took half a step back.The werewolf's long sharp claws grabbed it, and she knocked its wrist open with the buckler, and shot a spell from her right hand to hit its stomach.In this way, her attacks rained down on the werewolf, and she gradually gained the upper hand.

Why is Lupine so powerful in physical resistance and magic resistance!Marciana cursed secretly, a normal werewolf should have knocked her unconscious long ago.

The strength of the werewolf was really too great, even though Marciana tried her best to use her cleverness, after blocking a few powerful attacks, her left hand trembled slightly, and her movements slowed down.But the speed of the werewolf became faster and faster as its anger rose. It clawed at her abdomen, and Marciana reluctantly bowed and jumped back to avoid it. The sharp claws barely scratched the fabric of her abdomen. She heard He Min let out a scream.

At this moment, a curse struck fiercely from behind her, hitting the werewolf on the shoulder.She quickly took the opportunity to back away and cast a spell.It was Snape.His attacks were fast and ruthless, his casting speed was no less than hers, but his attacks were much darker.The two tacitly fired spells between each other's casting spells, and the coordination was perfect. The spell fell on the werewolf almost without a pause, forcing it to retreat step by step, and scars appeared on its body soon.

The werewolf was in great pain, and realized that it was the wizard in black in the distance who hurt him. He rolled on the ground, bypassed Marciana, and jumped towards Snape!Snape stepped back as he continued to cast spells, a twisted hatred glow on his face, and the magic power on his body was burning fiercely.If his spell hit the wizard, that person would probably have died ten times or eight times; but the werewolf was too fast, and the effect of the spell on it was greatly weakened. It flexibly dodged most of the spells, and quickly Approaching.

Once it gets close to Snape, I'm afraid today will be his death day.

Marciana felt that her mind was on fire. She chanted the spell aloud, and the thick magic ropes quickly wrapped around the werewolf's waist, dragging it to the ground forcefully.Snape's spell hit the werewolf, it roared even more angrily, and rushed forward frantically.Marciana wrapped her right arm around the magic rope, kicked her feet on the ground, and dragged it with all her strength, but the werewolf probably weighed more than [-] kilograms. She only felt like she was pulling a truck that was driving forward, and was caught by it. Dragging a little closer to Snape.

At this time, a black dog flew over from the side, hit the werewolf's waist with its body, and knocked it away.Marciana took the opportunity to send out a larger amount of magic rope, binding it into a big cocoon.While controlling the werewolf's movements with magic power, she jumped onto the werewolf's shoulders, wrapped her flexible legs around its neck, clamped the werewolf's cheek with her knees, and wrapped her right arm around its upper and lower jaws to prevent it from opening its mouth.The werewolf had already gone berserk, she slammed the shield with her left hand down on its head and face, raised her head and yelled at Snape.

"Let's go quickly!"

Her eyes were like burning sea water.

"Take the kids and go!" she yelled hoarsely.

Snape looked at her, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were like two will-o'-the-wisps. He finally turned around, grabbed Harry with one hand, and dragged him roughly towards the castle.Hermione supported Ron, and the three stumbled and barely kept up with Snape, and walked away step by step.

Seeing those people walking away, she pressed the top of Lupin's head with her left hand, leaned back, and jumped down deftly. When she landed, she was already a giant wolf with ice-blue eyes.The giant wolf threw the werewolf from behind, and fought with the werewolf together with the black dog, biting, pulling, and leading the werewolf to the Forbidden Forest.

Harry was dragged towards the castle by Snape, his arm was pinched very painfully.He knew that Snape was furious, but he was really worried, and still asked tentatively, "They... Sirius and Professor Larosa... will they be okay?"

"Take care of yourself, Potter!" Snape growled ferociously, "If Professor Larosa is killed, remember that it is thanks to you! As for the dog, it should be killed by its good friend Disembowelment, ha! That's justice from heaven."

Harry didn't leave immediately, his face looked like he was about to cry.It was Hermione who couldn't help comforting Harry, "They'll be fine, I've seen the Ministry of Magic's registration, and Professor Larosa is an Animagus."

"Really?" Harry's eyes widened.

"Really, she's a wolf in bestial form, I think... I think she and Sirius will be able to subdue Professor Lupine."

"I don't understand," Harry said, "I mean...why didn't she transform sooner, Sirius said that an Animagus wouldn't turn into a werewolf if bitten by a werewolf. It's safer that way, isn't it?"

"I think..." Hermione bit her lip, "I think she's protecting us. If she turns into an Animagus, she won't be able to cast spells, and if Professor Lupine turns to attack us, she won't be able to make it in time." Rescue. Do you remember, she mentioned in class that magic spells have irreplaceable advantages in long-range attacks and rescues."

Harry finally felt a little relieved.

After returning to the castle, Snape threw the three students into the medical wing, and was about to go to the principal's office. Thinking of something, Snape sneered again, and returned to the original place alone.He found the Forbidden Forest all the way along the traces of wild beast battles. In the shadow of the dense forest, he seemed to see some tattered robe-like figures fleeing in a panic.Snape was secretly vigilant: it was a dementor.He searched all the way along the broken branches and the paw prints on the trunk, and finally found Marciana and Black who had changed back to human form by the lake.Blake was passed out on the ground, and Marciana was beside him, pale, with blue lips, and looking shivering with cold.The air by the lake was indeed strangely cold, and the silver night mist floated like a veil on the lake.Snape saw a huge silver-white red deer, with seven-pronged horns on its head, exuding a halo as bright as moonlight, running around the lake and disappearing into the dense forest.

"Ah! You're here! Looks like Harry and the others are safe." Marciana greeted him in a good mood, "Did you bring any chocolate? I really need sugar right now."

...He didn't bring it.

"Where's Lupine?" Snape asked. "And, were there dementors here just now?"

"Well, that's right, there are a lot of them, hundreds of them. I'm afraid all the dementors near Hogwarts are here. Lupine was scared away, and now he's running around in the Forbidden Forest. Let's go quickly. "

"Exactly." Snape's face showed bitter hatred. "We'll hand over Black to the Ministry of Magic. He deserves a kiss."

Marciana had a troubled look on her face, thinking about how to tell him what happened tonight.

Snape half-closed his eyes, "What's that expression?"

"Uh... I have something to tell you..." Marciana tried to succinctly explain how Black had identified Pediru and how Pediru had escaped after pleading guilty.

Snape's face was as white as a ghost: "I don't believe you."

"Why should I lie to you?"

"I didn't say you lied to me on purpose. I think you're under the Confusion Charm," he said coldly, drawing his wand. "Get out of the way! I'm taking him away."

"I didn't get the confusion spell, are you serious?" Marciana also became angry.Tonight, she first listened to a big round of stories, then fought with a strangely strong werewolf, and then dealt with a group of dementors. The emotional ups and downs and physical exertion were severe. Now she has low blood sugar and is very sleepy. Totally impatient and breaking up with Snape, who was in an unreasonable state.

Snape saw her standing upright, letting his wand be pointed at her chest, and his anger gradually flared up.She should have been scratched by Lupine a few times when she turned into an Animagus, and the black tights were scratched, revealing her snow-white shoulders and a deep gash.He thought of her blue eyes that seemed to burn, and the wisps of black hair stuck to her cheeks with sweat.And now she was standing opposite him for Black.Even though he was injured, he still stood in front of Black.

She turned against me for Black!

The thought was like a burning match thrown in a petrol can.

Snape's chest rose and fell, and the tip of his wand was raised to rest on her throat. His slender black eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I, for the last time, say it. Get out of the way."

Wow, this contradiction escalated not so fast.

Marciana felt that she really, really needed to take a hot shower and go to sleep, but she also knew she couldn't screw up the conversation.She sighed, filtering out all the remaining patience in her body and stuffing it into her mind.

"Listen Severus, I'm on your side. I'm telling the truth, you saw me fighting Lupine too, and if I get the Confusion Charm, my reflexes slow down. I'm sober .”

"Then you've been fooled by him, illusion, or something," snapped Snape bitterly, "you know...you know what he did to me before! You still don't believe he's a murderer? "

"Oh, I believe he's capable of murder, and I'm afraid he's not lacking in murderous intent," Marciana shrugged, and Snape froze for a moment.

"But I, too, have the ability to kill people. So what?" She had a cold expression on her face, "I didn't say he was a pure and good person, but I'm afraid he didn't do that. It was Pedilu who did it." Yes. If you want to avenge yourself for what happened to you in fifth grade tonight, fine. But you must know," she said in a word, "Peter Pedilou is the Dark Lord's man. His Arnie Muggs is a mouse with a missing finger, mottled hair, and a bald spot. It is Ron's pet mouse. If you see it, you must be vigilant."

Snape didn't interrupt her.good sign.

"It was this scumbag who betrayed Lily and James Potter and killed them directly. I don't care what you think, I want to avenge them anyway." She said deliberately indifferently, "I saw it when I was a child And Lily, I like her a lot, she is very kind to me, telling me her favorite band is Queen, and Pedillo killed her. I'm going to catch this mouse for her."

Snape murmured, "Is it true? But Black obviously...how is this possible?"

"What's true? Lily likes Queen, or did I meet Lily, or did Pediru betray her?" Marciana said casually, ignoring James on purpose.

"We'll take Black back, and I'll tell what I've heard, and then we'll make Black tell everything he knows," she coaxed, "You must have Veritaserum, don't we? Feed him some. If he lied, it's not too late for a dementor to give him a kiss. But if what he said is true...Pedilu should feel like being wanted and beaten by everyone , He also has a Merlin Medal in his name, how can he deserve it?"

At this moment Snape had come to his senses, he looked down at her, and saw that she was already very close to him, her body wrapped in black and loose black hair were hidden in the night, only her upturned The small face was shining white under the moonlight, and the upturned eyes looked at him with a smile, and their eyelashes were black.

"Don't lie to me. What, is it fun trying to manipulate me?" He said coldly, but somehow not angry at all, "Why don't you mention that if what Black said is true, what will happen to him next? After all, you still want to get Blake off the hook."

"You said, which sentence I said was a lie? I just want you to understand, Severus, we are on one side." She said sweetly, "Of course I will try to win your understanding, after all," she sighed He breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm tired and sleepy now, and I'm bleeding a lot. I really really don't want to have conflicts with you."

She was playing pity, Snape reminded himself.But her weakness still made him feel good.

"Does it matter what happens to Blake next? You have as much time as you want to get your revenge on him in your own way, to your satisfaction. But I think the first priority is to catch Pediru. He's been at large for 12 years. , In the past 12 years, he ate and drank, slept when he wanted, and lived a good life that we can't even imagine. When people mention him, they say he is a hero. I think it's time for him to pay the price for his actions. "

She's changing the subject, she's saying "we" to imply that they share a common goal, she's trying to direct your attention and anger to Pediru.Snape's mind reminded him, but he was already a little convinced inside.Still, he said nonchalantly, "Your tricks are useless to me."

Marciana fidgeted and raised her hands, taking a step back, "Okay! Alright! Listen buddy, you're right. I'm sorry I mentioned Lily, it was kind of mean, sorry." She scratched defiantly. I scratched my hair, "But what I said is true. The only personal enmity between me and Pediru is her, and she did take care of me when I was a child. Of course, this is not the only reason I want to catch Pediru: he is in My guard escaped, you know my temper, I must catch him and bring him back. I need Black's testimony, I need a warrant from the Ministry of Magic, Pedilu's animal form is too suitable for hiding, I need someone who can use it all resources."

Snape looked at her for a long time, then suddenly said, "You said I'm going to avenge what happened to the fifth grade tonight, and you won't stop me."

"what?"

"You asked me which sentence you said was a lie, and this one is a lie."

"That's not true. Although he is powerless to resist now, if you must take revenge like this...well, it's your freedom..."

"Then I'm going to kill him tonight, so what about you?" Snape said coldly.

"...I thought the revenge you said was just beating him secretly."

"Hit him?" Snape snorted coldly, "Since he wants to kill me, of course I want to kill him too."

Before Marciana could answer, footsteps were heard in the nearby woods, Snape turned around suddenly, and saw Dumbledore coming out of the woods, saying happily, "Ah! Martha, Severus! Finally found you! It's good to see you all safe and sound."

"Ah! Albus!" Marciana said more happily, "Why are you here! Now I'm relieved, there were a lot of dementors here just now, and they almost kissed me too, Minister Fudge really should Take care of them."

"So you've got them out, well done. As for me, I'm here because Harry told me something." Dumbledore's blue eyes sparkled, "It seems you've caught Sirius Black. Harry said there was something wrong with his case back then?"

Snape's face twisted, "Principal, are you really going to cover him up again?"

Dumbledore gave him a deep look, "I just want to know the truth."

Marciana briefly recounted what happened today.Dumbledore nodded, "Same as what Harry said. Martha, I need you and me to go back to the castle right away, the Ministry of Magic is here - I think this is the most diligent Minister Fudge since he took office." It's evening—I need you to tell them what you just told me: After all, the testimony of several 13-year-olds will not convince them."

Snape looked ugly, but said nothing in the end.

The three walked back, Marciana and Dumbledore walked side by side, Black was carried by Dumbledore floating in the air, and Snape was not far behind.

"Principal, when did you arrive?" Marciana asked quietly.

"Probably when Severus asked you to get out of the way." Dumbledore also whispered back.

"Hey, did you enjoy watching the show? But you showed up at a good time...Thank you, thank you..."

"You're welcome. I don't think you can answer."

"Oh, it's really a tricky question..."

"Martha, I don't think I need to say more," Dumbledore whispered, "About Professor Lupine..."

Marciana raised her left hand to cover the damage of the tights, and when she lowered her hand, the damage and blood had disappeared, "Don't worry, Professor Lupine hasn't come back after tracking Pedilu," she smiled slightly, "Tonight, nothing but sharp Tell the truth about the shed, and I don't remember anything else major happening."

Dumbledore sighed, "I'm sorry for the child. Although Remus will definitely not be able to continue teaching after what happened, but... thank you very much."

"I'm fine. You should think about how to appease Severus." Marciana gave him a sideways glance. "What you did back then was not very honest. I can't be more angry than letting me go."

Dumbledore was silent for a while, "Ah...you know. Also, it's my luck that this secret can be kept for so many years, not to mention that tonight is almost a recurrence of more than ten years ago..."

Marciana walked with him in silence for a while, "People always make mistakes. It's not impossible to make up for it."

"Some things really can't be made up for."

"That's right. But this time... this one isn't."

The two did not speak again until they returned to the castle.

Several people told the story of the Screaming Shack again in front of Minister Fudge, and Martha expressed her willingness to accept the examination of the Confusion Curse and the Imperius Curse, and was willing to formally testify before the Wizengamot.Minister Fudge finally relented, agreeing to temporarily hand over Sirius Black to Auror custody until another day to reopen the case.

After finally sending Minister Fudge away, Dumbledore and Marciana went to the medical wing to visit Ron again, and explained the progress of the matter to the anxious Harry and Hermione.Harry was greatly relieved to hear that Black had temporarily escaped the fate of being kissed by a dementor.

After the children were calmed down and Madam Pomfrey treated the wound, it was only a few hours before dawn.Dumbledore had already returned to the principal's office exhausted, and Marciana also rubbed the center of her brows and let out a long sigh of relief, planning to go back to take a shower and sleep for an hour or two.

She shuffled out of the medical wing, but heard a low voice behind her saying, "Wait."

Marciana turned her head and found that Snape hadn't left yet.His tall and thin figure was shrouded in a black floor-length robe, and he looked at her inexplicably.

"What's her favorite Queen song?"

Although the question was nonsensical, Marciana fully understood what he was talking about.

"We will rock you"

Snape smiled, "I should have guessed."

Marciana lowered her eyes and smiled, "That's right. It's very Lily's style."

"how about you?"

Marciana froze for a moment.

"What's your favorite song by Queen?"

"I told her at the time that I didn't have a favorite."

"But you have," Snape said firmly.

"Now there is." Her blue eyes looked at his dark eyes with some sadness, "My favorite is TheShowMustGoOn."

The author has something to say: 0. Suddenly found that this article has a nutrient solution, and the useless author doesn't even know where to check who submitted it to me.Anyway, thanks a lot! ! (bow

1. Martha: Why do you want to pull hatred as a support job!

Maye's warrior attributes are beginning to take shape.

2. I added a bunch of attribute points to Lupin, which has reached the level of the big boss giant werewolf in "Underworld"; because my Mayor and the professor play, Lupine is too weak to be stunned for a second. It's not fun :) Don't worry, after the nerf he's still an average werewolf :)

3. The Show Must Go On, the Chinese translation is called "Wonderful Will Continue" or "The Show Must Continue", released in October 1991, shortly after the band's lead singer Freddie Mercury passed away.Many people believe that this song is his last farewell, because Mercury knew that his time was numbered when it was written.My favorite part of the lyrics:

Theshowmustgoon show must go on

Oh inside my heart is breaking

This passage is similar to the famous aria "Vesti La Giubba" (Vesti La Giubba) in the opera "Pagliacci".Push Pavarotti's version of the stage: go to watch the video, his performance is extremely moving.

I wonder if there will be cuties who are not familiar with Queen?Hallmark British rock band, formed in London in 1971.A biographical film "Bohemian Rhapsody" was written about them two years ago.It's a little distant for us, but chronologically, Lily, and maybe even the Professor, grew up listening to their songs.
