Chapter 241 Remus, Have You Seen Him?

Sirius felt his eyes blurred, and he lost the figure of Vader in his vision. He looked around and shouted: "Vader!"

The voice was drowned by thunder, and the light of lightning made the man's face pale.

Sirius turned his head suddenly and looked at Lupin not far behind him.

"Remus, did you see him?"

Lupin shook his head and shouted: "We have blocked the surroundings! He can't run far!"

Sirius turned around and saw that the entrance they came from had been blocked tightly by Lupin, so he felt a little relieved.

But this can't ensure that there is no risk, because there are always gaps between branches and vines. If ordinary birds fold their wings, they may not be able to get through.

"He turned into a bird!" Sirius shouted: "It's very fast, it may be a swift or an owl!"

Lupin nodded, thankful that they brought their flying brooms.

The two of them rode on their brooms and rushed into the rain with a "whoosh".

The rain that flowed through the gaps between the leaves was like a faucet being turned on. It slanted down and hit their heads, and poured into their clothes along their necks. The two were soaked, but they didn't bother to use magic to block the rain.

It wasn't a big surprise that Vader's animal form was a bird. Flying birds of prey were more useful than most creatures.

This was actually a good thing worth celebrating.

But the bad thing was that when they transformed for the first time, human consciousness was often impacted by animal consciousness, and sometimes the shapeshifter would forget that he was a human.

The simple brain of animals would make them run away or rush into the wall, or even do something worse. If they couldn't change back, they would be completely assimilated by animal thinking in a short time.

If Vader ran to the outside world in this state, the two were worried that they would never be able to find him again.

In just a few minutes, Lupin felt that he was about to be frozen. The palm of his hand holding the broom turned blue, and his lips also lost their color. The rain flowed into his eyes. In the dense rain curtain, he could only see a small area in front of him.

He saw Sirius yelling and seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Finally, Sirius gestured with his hands and feet, indicating that the two of them should search in a spiral.

Lupin nodded and flew out.

He tried to make himself look calm, but in fact he was panicking.

In just a few minutes, Lupin had regretted countless times -

regretted why he taught Vader the practice method of Animagus, regretted why he encouraged him to learn this course that was too advanced for him, and even more regretted why he woke Vader up tonight.

- If anything happens to the child, it's all your fault!

Lupin said to himself in his heart, regretting it over and over again.

He knew that Vader was much younger than James and the others back then.

Even though his knowledge reserve and talent potential were very strong, his magic power was not strong enough, and his willpower was definitely not as good as that of adults.

He did not spend a long time gradually mastering the skills and methods of Transfiguration, nor did he go through a long period of meditation and magic control training. Lupin and Sirius both felt vaguely uneasy about this, so they spent a lot of time preparing.

At this moment, all the anxiety and worry seemed to be concentrated and burst out together, making Lupin feel that his body seemed to become numb.

The two searched carefully from bottom to top, but found nothing. When they fell back to the ground, their faces were paler than dead people.

At this time, the rainstorm became a little smaller.

"Maybe we should notify Dumbledore... Sirius." Lupin said with a slight tremor in his lips: "At least call Professor McGonagall, she has more experience."

Sirius frowned and said: "Maybe it was too rainy just now, we couldn't see clearly... Look again!"

He flew out like an arrow from a string. Lupin's mind was a little confused, but he subconsciously raised the broom and flew up with it.

They held the wand in one hand, and the bright light was released from the tip of the wand, illuminating a large area.

However, after circling a few times again, there was still no harvest.

At this point, even the optimistic Sirius had to admit that they seemed to have accidentally lost Wade.

The two looked at each other, their hearts falling into the bottom of a cold well.

Just then, Lupin suddenly heard a subtle, "Woo-ah" sound.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Then, he saw Sirius looking behind him in astonishment, showing an angry and amused expression, and it took a while for him to make a sound:

"You kid... actually hid in this place..."

Lupin turned his head suddenly and saw a dark blue bird hiding behind him.

It was much larger than a pigeon, but it was considered smaller among birds of prey. There were black stripes on the top of the head and cheeks, a dark blue luster on the neck, and white stripes on the abdomen.

At this time, it was holding the horizontal branch on the broom with its yellow claws, hiding behind Lupin to avoid the wind and rain. Seeing him turn around, it tilted its head and looked at him curiously and innocently.

Lupin: "..."

He felt that his heartbeat was almost stopped by this kid.

He opened his mouth, and opened it again, but still couldn't say a word.

"Let him change back first." Sirius took out his wand and walked over, saying: "If it takes too long, it will take longer to regain consciousness."

Seeing him approach, the dark blue bird moved uneasily, as if trying to escape. But as soon as it opened its wings, it was fixed by magic.

The bird's gray eyes moved uneasily, watching Lupin also take out his wand.

"Get ready, Vader." Lupin said, "I'll count to three. One... two... three!"

Two blue-white lights shone on his body, and he struggled. Then his limbs underwent a wonderful change. From the top of his head to the tip of his tail, the bird, which was not as long as a human forearm, turned into a twelve-year-old boy in a few seconds.

He fell to the ground with a "thump", splashing water all over his body. He looked ahead in a daze, and his wet hair stuck to his forehead pitifully.

"Puff--"

Sirius couldn't help laughing, and then laughed louder and louder. Then Lupin also showed a bitter and relaxed smile.

"I was almost scared to death by you, Vader..."

"...Ah?"

Vader didn't understand.

It was his first transformation, and his mind was muddled, and he didn't remember much about the previous events.

"Okay, go back and change your clothes."

Lupin pulled him up from the ground and said, "Since you succeeded the first time, it will be much easier to transform next time. Remember to keep a clear mind and self-awareness, this is very important."

He said these words more than once. Wade nodded, then asked curiously: "So? What is my animal form?"

Before he transformed, he had an idea of ​​what he would look like after the transformation, but he only remembered that it was a bird, and forgot its name for a moment.

"Peregrine falcon." Sirius said with a smile: "The fastest bird - you don't have to take the Hogwarts Express to go to school in the future."
