Chapter 232: Sirius

"No—" Penelope screamed, slamming heavily on the damp cave floor.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, waiting for the heart-rending pain.

But what she felt was a warm, strong hand.

The hand immediately pulled her up, and Penelope fell into a very secure embrace.

It's Alan!

Alan realized that something was wrong, so he immediately pulled Penelope up, protected her in his arms, and used the crushing charm to smash the falling boulder as he withdrew.

The sound of the crash echoed over their heads, mixed with shrill whistles.

Penelope's heart pounded, and he lifted his eyes in Alan's arms—and saw the bats.

Thousands of black bats, flapping their wings, swooped down on them.

Eren waved his wand desperately and knocked them down with a Freezing Charm.

Penelope quickly drew his wand as well, broke free from Alan's arms, and joined the fight.

The bats, as if commanded, turned a blind eye to the fall of their companions and flew wildly above their heads, whistling and sizzling from their mouths.

"They've blocked the way!" Penelope shouted in despair.

Dense bats blocked the only way out.

"Get out of here first!" Alan also felt struggling.

"I hate bats the most!" Penelope waved his wand vigorously and shot down the bats that pounced.

Alan pulled Penelope and ran down another narrow, curvy tunnel.

The bats seemed to be concerned about something, flying at the entrance of the tunnel, whistling and squeaking.

Still holding Penelope's hand, Alan pressed his back against the tunnel wall and carefully moved forward.

The tunnel leads to a room - an oval room.

The entrance to the room suddenly lit up with a blinding, pulsing light, and Alan and Penelope had to cover their eyes with their hands.

Not good, it's Jokowi's flashbang!

There is an ambush!

No sooner had the thought crossed Penelope's mind than a cold, wet hand grabbed her neck.

In a panic, Penelope's wand was snatched away.

Hearing Penelope's scream, Eren immediately opened his eyes, and in the blinding halo, Eren recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

His filthy hair hung down to his elbows, and he would have looked like a dead corpse if it weren't for the glint of those eyes in his sunken eye sockets.

The sallow white skin tightens over the cheekbones, like a skeleton.

He grinned, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

At this time, he was pointing Penelope's wand at Alan.

"Sirius Black!"

Alan called out his name with certainty.

"Not an Auror, you're a Hogwarts student?"

Apparently, Sirius was a bit surprised by the arrival.

Hearing Sirius's name, Penelope's face was bloodless, and his body trembled slightly.

"Put down your wand!" Sirius said hoarsely, as if he hadn't used it for a long time.

His thin, protruding hands grabbed Penelope's white neck.

Alan quietly lowered his wand, looking for a suitable opportunity to free Penelope.

The wand flew straight into Blake's hand.

"Where's Harry Potter?" Sirius looked at Alan with those terrifying, deep-set eyes.

Alan stared at him closely, his face pale, frighteningly thin, his tattered prison uniform hanging from his body.

In the flickering light of the flashbang, his bony silhouette was eerie.

"Answer me, is Harry also in Hogsmeade?" Sirius tightened his hand to Penelope's throat.

Penelope felt breathless and had a pained expression on his face.

"He's not at Hogsmeade, he's at Hogwarts – the safest place in the world. Let go of Penelope. Alan said in a deep voice.

There was a twinkle in Blake's gloomy eyes.

"I'm sorry, you have to forget I'm here. Soon, don't worry, there will be no sequelae. ”

"Forget it!" he hissed, pointing Penelope's wand at Allen.

"No!" Penelope exclaimed, struggling with all his might.

A shield wrapped in roses suddenly appeared in Alan's hand, and Blake's Oblivion spell struck the shield like a drop of water flowing into a river without making any waves.

Alan stepped forward and grabbed Blake's thin wrist, forcing the tip of his staff to point away, pulling him away from Penelope.

Although Blake was thin, he was a tall adult after all, and he reacted instantly and fought with Allen.

Eren punched Blake in the side of the head, and the two fell backwards together, slamming into the wall - in a dazzling flash of light, Blake's two wands shot a string of sparks that nearly hit Eren in the face.

At this critical juncture, Alan saw Penelope's foot flying in the air.

Blake snorted in pain and let go of Allen.

But Alan didn't want to let Sirius Black go, pushing, pulling, pulling, twisting, and in a flash of lightning, Allen's speed and strength were amazing, and he successfully countered Blake - Blake was crushed to the ground by Allen.

Alan and Penelope's wands rolled to the side.

Alan felt Blake's crumpled arm struggle frantically under his fingers.

But Eren clung to him and slammed his other hand into Blake everywhere he could.

Alan didn't like Sirius Black in the first place.

Think of his abominable pranks on Professor Snape, think of the tragedy of the Harry family because of his recklessness, think of how he tried to cast the Oblivion Charm on two innocent little wizards!

Penelope picked up his wand and aimed it at Black.

Blake no longer struggles.

"Alan, what's next?

Penelope regained her composure, but she didn't want to deal with Dementors at all.

Alan didn't know what to do with Blake for a while.

While Blake is truly hateful, Allen knows he is innocent.

At this moment, Blake's size quickly shrank, transformed into a large black dog, jumped up from the ground, roared and pounced on Penelope.

Penelope was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and froze in place.

Sirius Black was so close to Penelope that Penelope could even see the sharp teeth in its mouth.

To Penello's surprise, Blake did not hurt her, but jumped over her and escaped from the stone chamber.

"Alan, he, Sirius Black, he-" Penelope was stunned and incoherent.

"It's an Animagus!"

Alan looked in the direction Sirius had fled, his expression inexplicable.

"He's an illegal Animagus, and the Ministry of Magic must not know about it. ”

Penelope returned the wand to Alan.
