Chapter 347 The Buried Truth
Let Professor Snape show you how terrible it is to lose your mind. Snape, whose heart was filled with hatred, had lost his ability to think. In other words, he was controlled by hatred.
Snape was a leader in the art of Occlumency. Even though he lost his mind and was briefly taken advantage of by Ada, he quickly broke away from this control.
Moreover, Ada's interference once again amplified the flames of hatred in Snape's heart; Ada's siding with Sirius and Harry made Snape feel betrayed and deceived.
Although Ada was not Lily, Snape always felt that he had seen this scene before.
Adding fuel to the fire and adding insult to injury. Snape, driven by anger and hatred, planned to attack Ada, and Sirius and Lupin were next.
The instant change gave everyone in the room no time to react. Harry and the other three didn't even use their best disarming spells, but heard a loud "bang" sound, which seemed to be mixed with a "ruo" sound. Ruowu's sigh.
When everyone came back to their senses, Snape had already flown backwards, hit the wall, and then slid along the wall to the ground, while Ada was still standing there, holding the wand flat in her hand.
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that can't be broken. This applies equally to duels between wizards in the magic world.
Ada could have been evenly matched with Snape, but she was ready to take action the moment she walked into the room, and Snape had only just had murderous intentions towards Ada.
It was calculated with intention but without intention, and Ada chose a sneak attack without any martial ethics.
The left hand without a wand casts the "Retreat the Enemy Three Feet" spell, while the right hand holding the wand casts the "Disarming Charm". The two spells were cast at the same time, and they not only disarmed Snape, but also knocked him away.
Being able to cast different magics with both hands at the same time, this ability was honed by Snape for Ada. This is like shooting yourself in the foot.
Snape, who was attacked by surprise, had no time to defend himself. This was the disadvantage of the wizard's high attack and low defense. Just "retreating the enemy three feet" made Snape lose the ability to continue fighting.
The severe pain made Snape unable to move, but his deep eyes were still burning with the flames of revenge. He looked at everyone in the room with hatred, as if he wanted to send everyone to hell.
Ada waved her wand again, and a long red ribbon shot out from the yew wand tip. The ribbon flew straight to Snape by the wall, tying up the Potions Master.
Knocked down and tied up in one go, everyone in the room was stunned. Is this child really only 16 years old? He is a bit too capable!
Everyone's eyes followed Ada's figure, watching her walk to Snape's side and squat down. For a moment, they all forgot what was more important to them at this moment.
Looking at Snape's "tragic situation", Sirius swallowed subconsciously, and the wound on his shoulder began to hurt. Sirius empathized with Snape's experience, and he felt that the injury he suffered was not unjust at all.
Thank you Sister Ada for not killing me?
"Professor, I know you hate it, but please be patient. It only takes a moment, a moment." Ada's ring shimmered, but this time Ada did not try to disturb Snape, but really tried to comfort him. he.
Under Ada's constant comfort, Snape let out a shrill wail like a wounded beast. Helplessness, pain, and confusion appeared on Snape's face one by one.
After wailing, Snape stopped making any noise, there was no flame of revenge in his eyes, and there was no struggle. He finally calmed down. But this peace made Snape suffer.
The living room was in a mess, with overturned sofas, bookcases, and broken utensils everywhere.
"Okay, now you can explain everything to Harry." Ada said. She did not return to everyone, but sat down next to Snape.
Snape once protected Ada and taught Ada, so Ada chose to protect Snape today and chose to sit next to him and accompany him. This is what Ada owes him.
The room was quiet for a while, until everyone sat on the sofa, Lupine began to slowly talk, starting from the day he turned into a werewolf.
At Hogwarts, every full moon night, Lupine would hide alone in the Shrieking Shack. He bit and scratched himself, and the villagers heard the noises and screams and thought they were particularly violent ghosts.
Dumbledore fueled the rumors. Even though the house has been quiet for many years and the owner of the house has been changed to Ada, the villagers of Hogsmeade still dare not approach.
Lupine, who disappeared once a month, still aroused suspicion among his friends, but the fact that Lupine was a werewolf did not alienate James, Sirius, and Peter from Lupine. Instead, it prompted them to become Animagus.
Finally, in fifth grade, they finally mastered it, and each one could transform into a different animal at will. James is the stag, Prongs; Sirius is the dog, Padfoot; and Peter is the mouse, Wormtail.
They slip out of the castle every month wearing Jaime's cloak of invisibility. They turned into animals and came to the shack through the Whomping Willow, accompanying Lupine through the difficult nights during his transformation.
Lupine also explained why he didn't tell Dumbledore this year that Sirius was an Animagus. Lupine was afraid of betraying the trust of Dumbledore, the first person besides his parents to accept him.
For Lupine, Dumbledore's acceptance and trust were precious.
Although Snape would not respond to Lupine, he thanked Snape for providing him with the werewolf potion. Well... Actually, the werewolf potion Lupine took was brewed by Ada.
After Lupine, Sirius also told what happened twelve years ago and the change of secret keeper. Only then did Harry know that the person who betrayed his parents was actually Peter Pedillo, a hero recognized by everyone!
Everyone believed that Peter died twelve years ago, killed by Sirius. But in fact, it was Peter who blew up half the street. He cut off his fingers and escaped into the gutter while deformed.
Peter was in hiding for twelve years, and Sirius was also imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years. The truth was revealed, but there were still people in the room who couldn't believe it.
You have kept a pet for many years, and suddenly someone comes to you and tells you that your pet is actually a human being, and your pet is still a murderer. This was unbelievable no matter who it was, and it was understandable that Ron didn't want to believe it.
Ron has lived for more than ten years, and today may be the day when his brain is the most active. He made many excuses and reasons, trying to explain that Banban was just Banban, an ordinary mouse who was relatively liveable, and not the murderer Peter Pedillo.
However, Ron's excuse was completely untenable in the face of the truth. All signs showed that Scabbers was Peter, and even Ron himself was gradually accepting this.
At this time, Crookshanks, who had always been regarded as a crazy cat by Ron, walked up and down in front of Ron arrogantly. Crookshanks recognized immediately that Peter was not a mouse, and he immediately recognized Black.
After establishing trust with Sirius, Crookshanks also introduced his younger brother Gallon to Sirius. The two dogs and one cat established a united front, determined to capture Peter, until Sirius was injured by Ada.
In Sirius's words, "Except for my cousin Bellatrix, I have never seen such a strong woman in my life." The sixteen-year-old student chased the notorious fugitive into the Forbidden Forest. Normal people can't do this kind of thing.
After being injured, Sirius had been hiding in a cave in the Forbidden Forest. However, there were neither medicines nor therapists in the Forbidden Forest. Sirius's wounds inevitably became infected, and he developed a high fever and began to coma.
Crookshanks and Garen had a disagreement over how to treat Sirius, and a cat and a dog even had a fight over it. The result was obvious. Although Gallon lost, they still asked Ada for help.
The off-white Garon approached Ada fawningly, but Ada didn't want to pay attention to it. Garen wanted to lick Ada's palm, but Ada shook her hand away in disgust, preventing it from getting close to her.
The off-white Garen had no choice but to lie down next to Ada listlessly, unable to move.
Another sound of footsteps was heard outside the door, and everyone in the room was frightened. Lupine, Harry, and Hermione subconsciously pulled out their wands and pointed them at the door.
This time they were overly worried. It was not the enemy who appeared at the door, but Dumbledore, Fred and George who came in a hurry.
Dumbledore smiled and said: "I am the principal of Hogwarts after all, can't you respect me a little bit?"
