Ravenclaw's Sapphire

"Uh, well, Sirius Black...sir," Fudge shook hands with Black slowly, until now he still showed a trance attitude, in less than half an hour, he had to accept the fact that he once firmly believed Upended chaos.Not to mention that he has to consider the follow-up of a series of events, "We will hand over the real culprit Peter Pettigrew to the dementors, throw him into Azkaban, and accept the punishment he deserves. At the same time, we will Soon, the official will issue a clarification notice to thoroughly explain the whole story of this incident. Of course (he glanced at Harry), in consideration of the privacy protection of the parties and some deceased people, we will make selective explanations on the incident as appropriate ——but the Ministry of Magic and I assure you that you, a member of an ancient family, will be restored." Although he had a courteous and sincere smile on his face, he felt a dull pain in his stomach.

Once the clarification news is published this time, the majesty of the Ministry of Magic will suffer a considerable blow. You must know that even though the first-class Merlin Medal awarded to Pettigrew’s family was not awarded by the Ministry of Magic, it was the decision of the Order of Merlin. considerable impact.At the time, this was also to quell the panic and resentment caused by the vicious incident of killing a street Muggle as soon as possible, but now the truth is slapping the Ministry of Magic in the face because it was a mistake.

However, the reason why Fudge has not completely lost his composure is that the truth of this incident is unknown. The secrets of the Potter family and their friends, especially the fact that they secretly changed the secret keeper, no one knows except for the few people involved. Everyone knew that everyone was kept in the dark, and it was not the Ministry of Magic's negligence.This also gave the incident considerable room for change. Public opinion would not overwhelmingly condemn the Ministry of Magic. Even though they would definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed by some people for awarding the medal, they would not be able to cause a big storm.That's why Fudge and Black were able to chat and laugh happily here, even though he always felt inexplicably embarrassed looking at Black's thinner and weaker face than he had met since meeting Azkaban.

"Thank you, Minister." Blake grinned with yellow teeth. He rested for a while, drank something, and looked more energetic than before. "Although I don't have a good impression of my family, I can It would be great for me now to have a chance to restore my reputation." He glanced at Harry, "not to mention that some ideas will finally have a chance to be implemented."

He and Harry exchanged a look, watching the boy laugh happily.

The magic on Pettigrew's ass had been removed, and he was handcuffed by the Ministry official Fudge had brought to take him away, looking downcast as if he had given up the will to live.They left Dumbledore's office, stood in the corridor on the third floor and briefly exchanged pleasantries with Black and the others.

"Are you all right, Mr. Lupine?" When Fudge was about to shake hands with Lupine, he saw him trembling slightly, as if the cold had eroded his body, "You suffered Are you hurt? Maybe you need to go to the infirmary?"

"Mr. Minister, I'm fine. It's just a small problem. I'm a little sick, but I forgot to take my medicine. I'll go directly to Professor Snape later. He should have a little more." Lupine Squeezing out a forced smile, perhaps because of long-term consumption of chamaejasma, he can temporarily restrain the beast-nature in his body, and try to keep himself from transforming, as long as he is not directly exposed to the moonlight...

"Professor! Professor Lupine!" At this moment, a girl's voice came from the other side of the corridor, and everyone turned to look there. Hermione exclaimed in surprise, "Zoe! Why are you here?"

Zoe was still a short distance away from them, but Lupine was relieved. He had seen the cup in Zoe's hand and knew what she was studying under Snape, because occasionally she would come to his office instead of Snape , Help him deliver the medicine.In his mind, it must be because the kid didn't find him in the office that he ran around in a hurry.

"Your medicine!" Sure enough, as he thought, Zooey was about to reach them, but her face suddenly became horrified, and she shouted out the window, "Oh my god, what is that!" She looked As if seeing a fire dragon flying towards them outside the window, the rest of the people couldn't help but look out the window.

The night sky was clear, and the dark clouds covering the sky disappeared at some point, and the clear and bright moonlight cast down from the sky, illuminating a large area of ​​the ground, and even entered the castle through the window, casting a blurred shadow.Fudge looked at it in confusion for a long time, but he couldn't find anything wrong. All he could see was the silent night sky, but when he got his attention back, he found that Lupine, who was still talking to him just now, froze.

"Quick...go..." These two words finally came out of his throat, Lupine's limbs were trembling unceasingly, they were undergoing amazing mutations... Black's eyes widened, how many times had he seen this old man Dude transformed? "Go away!" Hermione was the first to react, and quickly pulled Harry back, and at the same time shouted at Fudge, who was staring blankly: "Get away from him, Mr. Fudge!"

The low and long howl of a beast came out of Lupin's mouth, the bones of his limbs were pulled up at an alarming speed, the tattered human robe was bulging, and finally reached the critical point and tore cracked, he became taller, but his upper body leaned forward slightly, as if he was hunched over.

Thick hair sprouted from his arms, followed by long, pointed claws.Lupine's face had changed as much as any other part of him, a wolf's jaw had grown from the elongated, fur-covered face, and the eyes had a fierce gleam, the gleam of once gentle and sane intelligence, Completely swallowed by the bloodthirsty beast instinct.

"Wolf, werewolf?!" Fudge screamed, but the wizard he brought pulled out his wand immediately, calmly planning to strike before the werewolf transformation was completed.But as soon as he pointed his wand at Lupin, his body froze, and then he was slapped by the werewolf and flew out, and the wand he was holding was also dropped from his hand, rolling and falling at Pettigrew's feet.

"Lupine!" Black roared, and he also transformed into a black, bear-sized black dog, pounced on and bit the werewolf, preventing him from attacking Fudge in the next step, "No! Pettigrew is going to run away !" Harry watched Pettigrew rolling to the ground, holding the wand of the Ministry of Magic official in his hand, and he was terrified, knowing that he only had one chance.He first used his wand to undo the shackles that bound him, and then lowered his head to avoid the fragments of armor flying over after being smashed by Lupin.

"Zoe, stop him!"

He heard the little girl among those people yelling like this, and he raised his head suddenly, and saw the girl who had just run up straight in front of him, her face was not even a bit nervous, although she held the wand Facing himself, but leisurely as if chatting with him about family affairs.

Just as Pettigrew was about to knock the girl unconscious first, he heard the girl looking at him with a smile: "Go to the Albanian forest after escaping, that person should be there. If you don't want to be a trench mouse forever, little Dwarf, serve your master again."

Fragments of his memory were rummaged out of the box while looking at this familiar figure: that was when he first decided to betray, he went to meet the Dark Lord, was with the Dark Lord, talked to him The very close woman... except for her eyes and age, is exactly the same as the current one, and she has eyes that don't treat people as people.

The chill ran up his spine, and he couldn't help showing a shaken expression, but saw the man chuckle: "At least the surface skills must be done well, so please let me get hurt appropriately?"

Hermione watched Pettigrew's spell directly hit Zoe. She couldn't even resist, so she flew upside down, hit the wall with a loud noise, and looked down in a coma.Hermione couldn't spare any energy to deal with the pettigret that escaped after being deformed, and an extremely cold panic broke out in her heart: it's all because I asked her to help catch the pettigrew, she shouldn't have been injured!Why is she motionless?Could it be badly hurt and bleeding?What kind of spell did Pettigrew cast on her?

"Wow!" The black dog was defeated in another fight. It jumped onto the werewolf's back and bit the weak neck of the werewolf, but was thrown directly to the wall by the werewolf, and lay there wailing. Moved.The werewolf lowered its forelimbs, and its huge body looked more like a wolf. Hermione clearly noticed that the werewolf was looking in Zoe's direction.

Her mind was blank, but her actions were straightforward. She rushed forward completely subconsciously, pulling Zoe to avoid the attack of the werewolf, protecting her behind her, and enduring the impact of the gravel.But she couldn't take the next step, Hermione's legs were weak, and the strong beast smell from the werewolf wafted directly into her nostrils. It was already very close to them, but the werewolf didn't attack immediately.

She had a mysterious feeling: the werewolf was watching them, and it was going to treat them as food.

"Disarm you!" At this moment, Harry's roar was accompanied by a beam of light hitting the werewolf's nose, and the shot was straight on. The painful werewolf suddenly fell into madness, and his bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Harry. "Come here, you big guy!" Although Harry was also anxious, he had to draw the monster's attention away from Hermione.

Sure enough, the wrath of the werewolf turned on him.Just when Harry thought that at least Hermione and the others were safe, the werewolf suddenly bit Zoe's robe and lifted her up in the air.It glanced at Hermione, and finally gave up on the idea of ​​bringing another burden.
