Hermione looked fixed on Professor Lily Evans and Snape at the door. She may have been wondering how she could get Harry's wand back from the door that Lupin had knocked out of the door with a disarming charm. But without a wand and without the ability to use the Flying Charm, it was impossible to get the wand behind Snape and Professor Evans.
After a bit of confusion, Siris finally managed to snatch the mouse, and apparently wanted to throw it on the discarded piano so that he could cast a spell to regain his human form.
But as soon as he let go, the mouse sprang out, and ran around on the piano, and jumped from the piano to the piano bench, as if trying to escape through the holes in the wall.
Sirius and Lupin cursed and chased the rat, throwing a series of counter-spells, but unfortunately they didn't hit it.
The rat jumped onto the piano bench and looked like it was about to rush towards the corner of Snape and Willow Springs. A barrage of incantations chased after it, striking the piano and the ground, whipping up a puff of dust and white light.
Willow Spring let go of his hand just in time, and Snape quickly pointed his wand at the mouse, and a white light shot out from the tip of his wand. The mouse was leaping from the piano bench to the ground, but he was suddenly struck by the spell in mid-air, and suddenly turned into a stocky man and slammed at Snape's feet.
Snape quickly stepped forward, pointed his wand at him, looked as if he wanted to put a foot on him, and gritted his teeth and sneered, "Long time no see, Pedirus?"
The stocky man looked up tremblingly. He had an extremely lewd face, with a pair of pointed and protruding front teeth like mice. Perhaps it had been too long since he had become a mouse, and his hands were still bent over his chest like rat claws, scratching nervously and sniffling. He squeezed out an extremely ugly, flattering laugh and said tremblingly, "Snape......"
He turned to the other two men who had already arrived, and said with a pitiful smile on his face, "Remus...... Cialis ...... Oh, my old friends!"
He seemed to want to get up and pounce on Siris and Lupin, but Siris kicked him over.
He changed his goal again and held out his hand to Harry. "Harry, look at you, how much you look like your father! You look like James, we're good friends......"
Siris rushed up in a rage, and as if trying to stomp him to the ground, he kicked him several more times.
"How dare you talk to Harry! How dare you mention James in front of Harry!"
Peter Pediru rolled a few times to the side with the strength of Siris's feet, and immediately got up to his feet, trying to find a place to hide in the house.
Sirius and Lupin chased after him, pointing their wands at him, and Lupin shouted angrily, "You betrayed James and Beriel to Voldemort, didn't you!"
Peter Peddiru walked around the discarded piano and hid behind it, as if trying to avoid the Avada Curse that his two former friends might have generously given him at any time.
"I didn't mean to! You don't know what the Dark Lord is going to do to me! What if something like this happens to you?" he snorted, looking aggrieved, and turned to Sirith. "Cialis, what would you do if you ran into it?"
Cialis shouted in rage and anguish, "I'd rather die!
......
From the moment he had just begun, Snape had been tightly pulled by Willow Springs to prevent him from stepping forward to participate in the chase and feud of the Marauder Trio. He was furious and tried to shake off Willow's hand, but Willow seemed to be desperate to pull his arm to prevent his wand-holding hand from lifting.
Snape stared at Willow Springs in annoyance and whispered, "Let go!
Not to be outdone, Liu Quan pressed his arm hard, "And then let you give him an Arvada in front of these people?"
Snape whispered angrily, "He deserves it!"
Willow Spring's anger also swelled up, why did he just give up his life at the mention of Brielle Potter, the real Lily, "Yes, that's right, what about you? bury him? You can use the Unforgivable Charm without being held responsible? The Ministry of Magic has not officially convicted him......"
Snape paused, then abruptly stopped resisting and sneered.
"You're afraid of the Ministry of Magic's empty-brained idiots?"
This expression instantly reminded Liu Quan of a moment more than ten years ago. At that time, he also sneered like this and said to her: It's all over. It's everything.
everything。
Liu Quan suddenly burst out: "I don't want to see you fall into an unfair trial full of prejudice again!!"
There was silence in the room. Even the trio of predators who were entangled near the piano stopped pleading and denouncing. Everyone's eyes fell on Snape and Willow Springs at the door.
The silence lasted for a minute, and then, as if suddenly awakened to something, Peter Pediru suddenly crawled from under the piano and stooped to the ground, and then rushed desperately to the door, grabbing Willow Spring's arms before the others could react.
"Lily! Lily! Please...... You know what a nice guy James is to his friends, he doesn't want me to be killed, he's going to forgive me, he's going to pity me...... Please, help his friend, for the sake of his ...... to you."
He exuded a rotten, musty and foul smell from the sewers that belonged to rats, and it made Willow Spring sick to his stomach. She frowned in disgust, and just as she was about to point her wand upwards at him with her right hand, Siris and Lupin rushed up, pulling Pediru back from left to right, and then pointed her wand at him.
Liu Quan was unsteady by their pull, and staggered a few steps to the side. A hand reached over in time to help her. She subconsciously grabbed that hand with her backhand to stand firm. Then she realized that the hand was Snape's, wide and slightly cool, with sleeves wrapped around the palm of her hand.
Immediately, however, Snape shook her hand away as if he had been electrocuted. He glared at his hand that had just been caught by Liu Quan with a look of disgust, as if Liu Quan's hand was carrying some virus and had infected him.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron were on the sidelines, as if they had been petrified by the events that had taken place one after another. From the very beginning, they had stared at the door in horror, watching the most feared and disgusting Potions professor in all of Hogwarts tugging and pulling with the gentle, gracious and empathetic Muggle Studies professor, back and forth, and finally arguing—
Ron muttered, "Merlin's socks!
Hermione furrowed her eyebrows suspiciously, looked back and forth between Snape and Professor Lily Evans, and whispered to herself. "There must be something wrong with that. I've never seen Professor Snape help anyone, not even if he's a Hogwarts professor. ”
Harry's brain was about to short-circuit, and he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Fortunately, Siris and Lupin's attention was on that dastardly Pettigrew.
"Peter, even if Voldemort doesn't kill you, we're going to join forces to kill you!"
Harry reacted in time to stop them.
"No! we'll have to take him to the castle first......
Pedirus looked ecstatic, as if he was going to fall at his feet and kiss his shoes. "Oh, Harry, Merlin bless you......"
Harry dodged away in disgust.
"We'll take you to the castle now, and let the Dementors deal with you. ”
Peter Pedirou shook like chaff.
......
The tunnel beneath the beating willow was very narrow, and in the end they decided that Siris would take the lead with the three little wizards.
Lupin and Snape may hate each other, but they can put aside their prejudices for a while on how to deal with Peter Pedirou. They decided to use the Petrification Charm and then the Levitation Charm to get Pediró back to Hogwarts Castle.
Snape let Willow Springs go last. He followed Lupin, and the two of them went one after the other, sandwiching the petrified Pediru in the middle, beware of a change.
In this way, they took a little more time than the three little wizards and Siris, who were at the front. Willow Spring offered to help, but Snape impatiently shoved her behind him and strode ahead of her, the tumbling black robes almost blocking the entire tunnel, and Willow Springs basically couldn't see Lupin and the petrified Pettigrew floating in front of him.
This section of the tunnel is not easy to walk. Willow Springs is not a nocturnal creature either, and her spirit has always been tense this night, not allowing Harry to cast a spell at Snape as he did in the original books, nor allowing Snape, who should have been knocked unconscious, to participate in the plot process too much, lest the damned "inertia of the plot" find clues, cause chaos or self-correction, and then affect the safety of the whole world; The manipulative Ministry of Magic is involved in some unjust accusations...... Therefore, as soon as she relaxed, she realized that she was tired and sleepy, her mind was not very clear, and she stumbled when she walked.
She tripped on the steps twice along the way and lost her balance, although each time she came to her senses in time to steady herself, it was enough to make the black-robed wizard in front of her stop and stare back at her, his big nose spewing impatience.
She smiled apologetically at him, and Snape seemed even angrier because of it. He yelled impatiently at Lupin in front of him, motioning for Lupin to float Peter Pettigrew, who was petrified. Then he stopped and waited for her to catch up—she had been moving more and more slowly, and by the time she nearly fell for the second time, she was six or seven paces behind Snape.
Willow Quan tried his best to keep his steps steady, walked up to him, and smiled at him as if he were too peaceful.
Snape didn't immediately turn and walk forward.
A muscle on his face twitched invisibly a few times, as if he was engaged in a fierce battle of thoughts. Liu Quan began to wonder a little.
