Chapter 427 Peter: It’s so Difficult for Me! (2 in 1 4000 Words)
Sirius strode up to Peter and forcefully opened his sleeves, only to see that there was nothing on Peter's fat wrists.
"Not here!" Sirius was not surprised. As an undercover agent, Peter would certainly not be able to carve the mark of the Dark Devil in such an obvious place.
Immediately afterwards, he roughly opened Peter's shirt, preparing to check his chest and arms. The latter struggled desperately and let out a shrill cry.
As if a certain threshold had been exceeded, Peter's body suddenly began to shrink and transformed into a mouse, and the ropes binding his body automatically fell off.
"Change back, Peter, if you still don't want to die!" Sirius said viciously, reaching out to pull the tail of the gray-black mouse.
Peter wanted to avoid in fear, but the weak magic Ivan had exerted on him was still working, making him much slower than an average mouse.
At this moment, a red light suddenly appeared, and the unsuspecting Sirius was immediately knocked out and hit the low wall next to him.
"who?"
The sudden abnormality surprised everyone. Ivan immediately waved his wand and shot a magic beam towards the door. The red light just flew in from there.
A transparent magic barrier slowly rose up in the empty doorway, blocking the light beam.
However, the fluctuation caused by the magic power also caused the effect of the Disguise Curse to be broken by the way, and Snape appeared in front of everyone wearing a black robe.
"Professor Snape?" Hermione stammered and screamed.
"Very good, let's see what I found!" Snape ignored Hermione's intention. He glanced around the scene, his eyes stayed on Sirius for a moment, and then turned to the tied up Robin. Well, and on Harry who just cried.
"Lupin! I guessed it right before. You have been helping Black sneak into the castle. But I didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to use this old place as your shelter. It's really a feast for me."
"But you are very smart, and your timing is very good! If Malfoy hadn't astutely discovered your identity as a werewolf, and came to me to tell me where you were planning to go in a suspicious manner, you might have succeeded today. !”
Snape's face was full of uncontrollable pride. After enduring it for half a school year, he finally caught Lupine's handle!
If nothing else goes wrong, Lupine and Sirius will be sent to Azkaban together today, and the dementors may be happy to give them a kiss!
Nothing pleases him more!
Hearing Snape's words, Lupine's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect that Snape had been following him.
It's that bottle of wolfsbane potion!
Lupine soon realized this, as the Wolfsbane potion Snape had given him had weakened his senses and made him very weak.
So much so that he didn't notice anyone following him the whole time.
"Severus, you misunderstood! I guess you must have just arrived and didn't hear what we were saying. Sirius didn't come to kill Harry. Peter did everything."
A look of eagerness appeared on Lupine's face, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Snape.
"Don't try to trick me. Peter is dead a long time ago, and so is James! You two are the only ones left now. When I deal with you two, there will be no more messy things!" Si Nep yelled loudly.
"Professor, Professor Lupin did not lie to you, Peter is the real betrayer" Harry on the side mustered up the courage to speak.
"Shut up! Potter! I remember you should stay in Hogwarts Castle now, under the eyes of all the professors!"
I think it’s time for you to have some brains. You actually believe the words of a werewolf and a murderer. Now when something goes wrong, you just cry! "
Snape gritted his teeth and looked at Harry, very disappointed with him. Harry had violated school rules again and again, and now he ran outside privately. If he had known better, he should have cast a spell to lock him in the school.
Harry was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. He had his own thoughts and judgments and could go wherever he wanted. He didn't need to be guarded like a baby!
"Professor Snape, didn't you hear Peter's voice outside just now? He is an Animagus, and now he has turned into a mouse." Ivan said anxiously. Unlike others, his eyes Always keeping an eye on Peter's movements.
The gray-black mouse was holding on to its weak body and slowly crawling toward the exit. Ivan raised his wand and was about to take action.
However, this touched Snape's fragile nerves, because he was standing at the exit, and Ivan's wand was vaguely pointed at him.
"That's enough! Do you think I will believe this little trick to fool people? It's best not to let me move at will! After I tie you all up, I will consider listening to your explanation slowly."
Snape said sternly, pointing his wand at Ivan and Lupin, not daring to be distracted at all. His attention was all focused on them, and of course he did not dare to lower his head to see any mice.
Although he knocked down Sirius immediately, the two men in front of him were quite a threat. Even he might be hit if he wasn't careful.
Taking this into consideration, Snape took the lead without warning, and a white beam of light hit Lupin directly.
Lupine was in a very bad state, and his reaction was a beat too slow. He only had time to build a magic barrier to block it for a moment before he was hit by the beam and knocked to the ground.
Ivan saw Lupine being attacked, and Peter even slipped to the door and immediately stopped hesitating.
"Flocks of birds!" Ivan waved his wand. Since he was dealing with Snape and Peter, he did not use a fatal spell.
The debris and wooden boards piled around were rapidly deformed and transformed under the influence of magic. In just a moment, flocks of birds had gathered, swarming towards the door like flying arrows.
Half of them were used to contain Snape, and the other half were used to target Peter!
But Ivan's plan failed. Snape flicked his wand lightly, and a black light exploded in mid-air. The flocks of birds were corroded before they even got close.
After absorbing nutrients, black flames emerged from the corroded remains of the birds, growing wildly out of thin air and sweeping forward.
And Peter was walking in the middle of the fierce battlefield, with his heart in his throat, dangerous beams of light passing over his head one by one, and several magic spells falling on him from time to time.
Peter could only try his best to avoid it, and kept praying that he could successfully escape.
On the battlefield at this moment, a curse hit Snape, but the beam was deflected and flew towards Peter.
He jumped up in a thrilling way to avoid it, but the aftermath was enough to lift him up into the air, before slamming him against the door.
Peter screamed, his whole body was bruised from the fall, and his face was gray, but his face was full of excitement that could not be concealed, because the exit was right in front, and he would be able to escape soon!
Thinking of this, Peter regardless of his physical weakness, rolled over the threshold and ran towards the evening sun.
The joy of escaping life and death filled Peter's mind
Then a slender and thin hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed its tail, lifting it up.
In the room, the fierce battle continued.
"Hals, I didn't expect that you would collude with Black. It seems that you are the one who brought these two idiots, Potter and Weasley, here!"
Snape said sternly, without stopping the movements of his hands, he fired several curses with his backhand, and even hesitated to use some high-intensity curses!
After all, Ivan's strength far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that even though Ivan's talent was good and his strength far exceeded that of his peers, he was not that big after all. He was at the level of an average adult wizard or even an Auror.
Unexpectedly, if I held back for a moment, I would still be unable to capture him!
Ivan used his wand to pull a round table to block Snape's attack.
Ivan had seen Peter hurriedly slip out of the door, so he looked at Snape who was standing in front of him with both eagerness and helplessness.
Although he had Dobby keeping an eye on him secretly, that was not a 100% guarantee.
Like Snape sneaking in secretly with the Disillusionment Curse this time, Dobby couldn't notice it.
Thinking of this, Ivan became cruel. Regardless of the risk of exposure, he had no choice but to use blood magic to solve the battle. He could not drag it out any longer!
Ivan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had turned into orange snake pupils.
Snape was completely unprepared. When his eyes met, a bone-deep chill surged into his heart. His body suddenly froze, and his consciousness seemed to be sucked into him.
However, Ivan on the opposite side was not in good condition. Snape's magic power was more than three times higher than his. The difference in total amount made the consumption extremely intense, and the magic power poured out like a flood!
This made Ivan secretly scream in his heart. He used the Eye of the Basilisk to quickly resolve the battle, but unexpectedly he fell into the dilemma of competing for magic power.
"Expelliarmus!"
At this time, Lu Ping, who was lying on the ground, regained his strength and seized this opportunity. He waved his wand to activate a beam of light and hit Snape.
Unable to dodge, Snape was hit from the front, and his body lit up with the light of the Iron Armor Curse, blocking the magic.
However, since the protection of the Iron Armor Curse had been reduced to almost the same level in the previous battle, it quickly shattered after absorbing the power of the Disarming Curse.
Snape was knocked back several steps, and at the same time he escaped from the control of the Basilisk Eye.
Feeling his stiff body, Snape was greatly afraid. He had never heard of this kind of magic that could turn people to stone just by looking at him!
Ivan on the other side had closed his snake eyes and was breathing heavily.
This time using the Basilisk Eyes on Snape once again made Ivan see a shortcoming of the Basilisk Eyes, that is, it is best not to use it on people whose magic power far exceeds his own!
In less than a second after being turned on, he had already lost one-third of his magic power, but Snape did not seem to have completely lost his fighting ability.
Snape moved his stiff wrists and checked Ivan's condition through the reflection of the broken glass on the ground. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Ivan had consumed a lot of energy.
It would be terrible if that kind of magic could be used without restriction!
Fortunately, it seems there are some restrictions.
In this little delay, Lupine had already stood up, and the situation on the court returned to a two-on-one situation.
"Stop it, Severus! This is just a misunderstanding. We have no reason to fight, and there is no need to waste time here," Lupine finally advised.
"waste time?"
Snape's face became very ugly. He frowned at first, and then said disdainfully.
"Very good. It seems that I gave you some illusions that you can defeat me easily? Remus, today is different from the past. Having more people is not that effective!"
As Snape spoke, he remembered something and his expression became a little ferocious. He raised his somewhat stiff wrist, and the invisible blade gradually condensed on the top of the wand.
"Today is the day you and Black die. No one can save you!" Snape shouted.
"That's not necessarily the case, sir!"
A strange, high-pitched voice suddenly rang from the doorframe behind him.
Snape's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly felt a violent impact on his waist. The wand came out of his hand immediately, and his body fell straight to the rotten cabinet beside him.
Then, a short house elf walked in from outside, holding a miserable gray-black mouse in his hand.
"Well done, Dobby!" Ivan was really relieved when he saw this scene, and immediately waved his wand to transform into a rope and tie up Snape.
Seeing this, Lupine also put away his wand and hurried over to check on Sirius' condition.
"Professor Snape! If you can put aside your prejudice against Professor Lupin and Sirius, and think about it carefully, you will know that we did not lie to you." Ivan shrugged and explained.
Snape did not reply. Although he could not move, he still looked at Ivan and others fiercely.
"I think he needs to be repaired so that he can be more honest!" Sirius stood up with Lupin's help. He was furious when he thought that he was accidentally knocked unconscious by Snape's surprise attack.
"Save it, don't cause trouble. If it weren't for those bad jokes you made before, there wouldn't be today's misunderstanding!" Ivan said angrily.
Did you even tell him that?
Sirius looked at Lupine in confusion, but saw that Lupine was also confused.
After thinking for a while, they both turned to look at the gray-black mouse in Dobby's hand.
That must be what Peter said!
Peter, who was caught in Dobby's hand, mistakenly thought that Sirius and Lupine wanted to settle a score with him, and his heart went cold.
