Snape also realized his mistake almost immediately. In the blink of an eye, not only were the two Gryffindors out of his control, but they both had their wands in their hands again! Now that the initiative was out of his hands, he was even angrier, and the tip of the wand in Lily Evans' throat trembled slightly with intense anger.
These horrible and insidious Gryffindors! They must be in causf!
And the center of everyone's attention, the red-haired and green-eyed witch, even though the tip of the staff was pointed at the throat, still pointed the wand in her hand very steadily, and had no intention of surrendering. She didn't seem to be worried about Snape casting a curse on her.
Snape was even angrier. He looked as if he wanted to give her an Arvada right away, but he didn't know how to do it.
There was a brief silence in the room. In the end, it was the one who broke the silence.
Willow Spring's gaze was still looking directly at Snape, whose anger had soared to the highest point in front of him, and he spoke in a deep voice, but he was asking the victim on the side.
"Harry, who is your disarming charm targeting?"
This question is like a basin of cold water, which suddenly extinguishes everyone's anger.
yes, everyone heard the first half of the spell Harry shout. It is indeed "Except Your Weapon". Just now, in the direction his wand was pointing, only two people still had wands in their hands.
Lily Evans and Severus Snape.
The answer is self-explanatory.
Thinking through this question, Hermione suddenly had a look of disbelief and condemnation on her face, shouting, "You attacked the teacher at school!?"
Even Ron, who had always hated Snape unwaveringly, opened his eyes and asked in amazement, "Harry, what were you going to do just now?!"
Harry was speechless for a moment.
Snape probably came to the same conclusion at once, but it didn't immediately quench his anger.
What did she think she was doing?!Protect him?He didn't need her to protect!An impostor!
Even if he didn't expect that the target of that Breaker's attack would be himself, it didn't mean that he could allow this imposter to attack that Breaker who was so stupid that his brain was stuffed with Grass! She was an adult witch with a very powerful spell, in case she hurt that Breaker Kid—
Moreover, she was still talking! That grandiose attitude! It was disgusting to be so arrogant!
"Harry, don't you want to know the truth of the matter?" she looked at Snape's face, then slowly turned her face away from the tip of his staff, and instead looked at Harry, whose face was blue and white, and her tone was steady.
"Isn't it more important to give Professor Snape a little color than who killed your parents?" she asked quietly, watching as Harry opened his mouth as if to say, "I didn't!", but ultimately said nothing.
"You don't think Professor Snape can be trusted? Don't you think he's protecting you by letting you three little wizards go first? Even if you don't want to go, you can just say it if you want to stay and hear the truth for yourself. Why would you attack him with the Disarming Charm, because you think he would be bad for Cyris Black or Professor Lupin?" Willow Springs' continued, his tone very calm, as if he were just objectively and calmly analyzing Harry's psyche.
Harry hung his head.
Logically, Professor Evans is right. He couldn't deny it. Nor could he tell her out loud in front of so many people how untrustworthy and malicious Snape was. Finally, he found a voice and argued, "But...... Professor Evans!Professor Lupin...... None of them have wand......s! I don't know what Professor Snape intends to do to them......"
Liu Quan sighed.
"Harry, they don't have wands, but I do. And I was standing right behind Professor Snape. Don't you think this is the best place to sneak up on him?" she asked him with a smile, "or...... You don't have confidence in my prowess and think I can't beat Professor Snape in a one-on-one situation?"
Snape's features were distorted when he heard this conversation. He looked as uncomfortable as eating a bucket of slugs raw, and probably in his opinion, Liu Quan's words were so full of grooves that he didn't even know where to vomit.
Cis, on the other side of them, grinned and laughed slowly.
"You're still the same way you used to be, Lily. He began to catch up with her.
Harry looked at Professor Evans as he turned his gaze to the tattered, unkempt, dirty man as he interjected, and a smile appeared on his face.
"No, I'm not who I was then. She replied, "But you're still the same you used to be, Siris." Azkaban can't change you. ”
Cyris couldn't decide whether it was a compliment or sarcasm, and he twisted his face to squeeze out a smile at her as a gesture of kindness.
Lupin looked from the sidelines and sighed.
Snape, whose face was so dark and terrifying, suddenly said coldly, "...... It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. ”
Siris raised an eyebrow at the words, "You want to provoke Snape, like before?"
Harry didn't think his eyes and brain were enough. Sirius Black was clearly an old acquaintance with the three current Hogwarts professors, and they spoke as if they had known each other all their lives. Although there were small sparks of malice flying in the sky, their expressions were actually full of familiarity with this confrontation scene.
And, if he was not mistaken, he felt that Professors Lupin, Professor Evans, and the Azkaban fugitive, Siris Black, had a faint emotion on their faces, as if they were nostalgic for a time similar to this moment in their memory.
Harry hesitated, deciding not to pursue the mystery for a moment, but instead asked out loud what he wanted to know most.
"Tell me about Peter Peddiru!"
This sentence finally drew the attention of the few adults present back to him. Snape's face was full of mockery, and he glared at Harry and said, "Oh, the great savior wants to know about it now, after you unsuccessfully attacked your professor?"
Sirith yelled angrily, "You are not allowed to say that Harry......!"
Liu Quan interrupted him in time, "Intent to attack the professor, Gryffindor deducts ten points." Now, who's going to explain this whole thing to these unsuspecting kids?"
Snape and Siris continued to glare at each other angrily, trying to kill each other with their eyes, and in the end, it was Lupin, who shook his head and sighed, who took the responsibility.
"Peter and we were classmates, and we both regarded him as friends......"
Harry stared at them suspiciously.
"No, Pediru is dead, he killed him!" his wand pointed at Cyris Black.
"No, he didn't!" Lupin said loudly to Cialis, "I thought so until you told me you saw Pediru's name on that map of the living spots!"
Harry nervously said, "The map is lying!"
Before Lupin could speak, Siris hastily and haughtily cut him off: "No, that map never lies!
The tip of his wand was firmly pointed at Ron's arms. Even though he had just exchanged a few greetings with Lily Evans in a homely tone, his wand still didn't move the slightest.
Snape raised an eyebrow and glanced at Willow Springs inquiringly.
The wand in Willow Spring's right hand was still pointed diagonally at the ground, ready to attack, sealing all the gaps where the rat could escape through the door. She grabbed the tip of Snape's wand, which was still inches from her throat, between the two fingers of her left hand, and with a slight force, moved the tip of that wand to her right, and mouthed him a word: "Mouse." ”
Snape suddenly realized.
At the same time, Ron's arguing voice overlapped with Cialis's impatient screeching interrupt.
"Me?!He's crazy!I'm ......."
"It's not you! It's your mouse!"
"But Spotted already has ...... in my house"
"Twelve years! How could an average pet mouse live that long! It has a finger missing, right?"
"So what!"
......
Harry looked numbly at the two of them arguing, and said mechanically, "They only found Peter Pediru's ...... at the scene"
Siris jerked back to stare at him, his eyes shining.
"Fingers! This coward chops off his own fingers to make people think he's dead! and then turns into a rat and hides in ......."
Willow Springs: Snape's teeth clenched softly. It looked as if his proud self-control was about to crumble, and he seemed to be about to throw an anti-Animagus spell or just an Arvada at the mouse in Ron's arms.
Willow immediately clasped Snape's wand together with his left hand. Snape, immersed in great anger and grief, seemed to be awakened by her sudden action, and immediately glared at her with wide eyes as he tried to wrest control of his wand from her.
Willow Springs, while grabbing his wand and refusing to let go, shouted to Siris, "Grab that mouse!"
As if awakened from a dream, Siris reached out to pull the mouse out of Ron's arms.
Ron shouted, "No!!!" as he desperately hugged the rat and twisted his body to fend off Siris's movements.
Snape tried hard to pull out his wand in Willow Spring's grasp, his dark eyes burning red with intense anger. He even used his left hand to break Liu Quan'......s hand, and shouted: "You let go immediately!
Lupin didn't seem to be able to make up his mind whether to go up and help Siris get the rat down, or to go back and help Willow Spring hold Snape, who was clearly in a state of rage.
Harry became anxious and shouted, "Ron, give him the mouse!"
