Chapter 39: Exposure I
Harry was thrown face down on the ground. There was a muffled thud at him, and Ron was thrown aside. They heard footsteps and crashes, and searchers in the house rummaged through cabinets, kicked tables and toppled chairs.
"Alright, let's see who we caught. A smug voice came overhead, and Harry was turned over. A wand shone on his face, and the man laughed.
"Oh, it looks like I'm going to have to swallow this with just a butterbeer. How did you do that, ugly bastard?"
"Sting," Harry muttered, "stinged." ”
"I think it's like a bee sting. Another voice said, "Interrogate him, Greyback, this kid looks cunning. ”
Harry's heart sank, Greyback, he had heard the name. Lupin once mentioned that this guy was a notorious werewolf. Unlike ordinary werewolves, he enjoys the pleasure of biting, and will intentionally bite people after transforming, and Lupin was bitten by him before becoming a werewolf. This murderous creature even wants to create enough werewolves to form an army to conquer the entire wizarding world.
"Of course I know, don't bother you, Alex. "You're not in a position to dictate to me now, you can't even do a little thing, but your master has told you to do it, and you're just a boy under my command." ”
"Hmph. Alex stopped talking.
"What's your name?" roared Greyback, grabbing Harry by the collar and lifting him up.
"Dudley. Harry said.
"Full name?"
"I'm Vernon Dudley. ”
"Check the list, Scarbio. Greyback said to the other wizard as Harry saw him walk to the side and look down at Ron, "What about you, Redfur?"
"Stan Sampark. Ron said.
"Hell," said the Skabio, "we know Stan Sanpark, he's got us in some trouble. ”
There was another bang. Ron took another beating.
"I'm Buddy," Ron said, Harry could hear his mouth full of blood, "Buddy Weasley. ”
"Weasleys?" Greyback said in a gruff voice, "I think it's true this time, Weasleys are indeed red-haired, and they can give birth like goblins, although they are pure-bloods, but they are also the scum of pure-bloods, I really want to bite you." ”
"Slow down. Greyback. Amid the laughter of the others, Scarbio said, "Don't rush to bite them." ”
"Of course I do. Greyback was a little dissatisfied, "I haven't changed now, what do you mean by that." ”
"Our most important mission is to capture Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, two daredevil wanted criminals who dared to attack Ministries employees and invade the Ministry, and they might be them. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were worth more than 100 truants combined. ”
"Well, it's quite possible, except for the mudbloods. Wizards who skip school don't usually hide in Muggle settlements, and these two guys are very suspicious indeed. Greyback said. "But now that they're in our hands, it's just a matter of interrogating them slowly. ”
"Ugly, what about your bloodline?" he turned to Harry.
"Half-blood. Harry said.
"Easy to check. Scarbio said. "They all look like they're still Hogwarts age, and we just need to check the list of Hogwarts truants to know who they are. ”
"We're not on. Ron said.
"No, Redhair?" said Skappio, "so you're here in a Muggle quarter, and a Muggle neighborhood where two wanted criminals are hiding?"
"We were curious about Muggles. Ron said.
"Oh. I believe. The Weasleys were fools who loved Muggles. Another burst of laughter.
"Tie them up with the other two prisoners! We'll have to keep searching, keep tracking the mana fluctuations in this area!"
Someone grabbed Harry by the hair and dragged him up for a short distance. He pushed him to the ground and tied him back to back with the others. Harry's swollen eyes could barely see anything. When their captors finally left, Harry whispered to the other prisoners:
"Who still has a wand?"
"Nope. Ron said.
"Harry?"
A new, but familiar voice came directly from behind Harry, from the man tied to Ron's left.
"Dean?"
"It's you! If they find out who they have caught -- they are search squads, and they only catch truants to sell them for money -- they can earn two hundred Galleons for every student they catch truant."
"It was a good night," said Greyback, and a pair of large boots with pegs approached Harry, "an escaped elf and three truants. Have you checked their names on the list, Scarbio?" he yelled.
"Checked, there's no Vernon Dudley, Greyback up there. ”
"Interesting," said Greyback, "it's funny." ”
He crouched down next to Harry, who saw a face through the tiny gap between his swollen eyelids, with unkempt gray hair and beard, pointed yellow teeth, and mouth sores at the corners of his mouth. There was a strange smell from Greyback's body: a mixture of dust, sweat, and blood.
"So you're not the one we're going to arrest, Vernon? Or are you on the list, but not that name? What Hogwarts house did you attend?"
"Slytherin. Harry said without thinking.
"Hell, they thought we wanted to hear this," Scarbio scoffed in the dark, "but there's no good in lying about being a Slytherin, because none of Slytherin houses are truant. ”
Greyback kicked Harry hard, and Harry let out a groan of pain.
"If you are not a student at Hogwarts, I have the power to execute you on the spot......" (To be continued......
