Chapter 149: The Test of Gryffindor
Peter Pettigrew screamed and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain.
Evan was surprised to find that Peter Pettigrew actually cried. It was terrifying: he looked like a king-sized, bald baby, shivering on the floor.
"Listen to me, Aven, you're a smart kid," Peter Pettigrew whispered.
He struggled to crawl towards Aven, staggering forward, clutching the edge of Aven's robes.
"You've said enough today, Peter Pettigrew!" Evan pulled the robe out of Peter Pettigrew's grip, and he took a few steps back to the office door, "If you have anything, you can hold it for a while and say it to Dumbledore and the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic, I think they'll be interested." ”
"No, don't!" Peter Pettigrew muttered, "it's Sirius Black"
"Of course, if you're innocent, they'll naturally let you go. Evan looked at Peter Pettigrew, "But if you prove guilty, you'll get the end you deserve." The Dementors outside the school can't wait, maybe they'll give you a kiss. ”
Hearing the Dementor and hearing the Dementor's kiss, Peter Pettigrew's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't see any blood at all.
"Leave me alone, child!" pleaded Peter Pettigrew, "and it won't do you any good. You don't want to be a powerful wizard, I'll help you, I know a secret, that thing has powerful magic, it's in the Forbidden Forest, I know how to get it. ”
"If you mean the magic item that Gryffindor left behind hidden in the centaur tribe. Evan said slowly, "It's a pity that Blake promised to take me there before you. ”
"You wouldn't have made it without my help!" Peter Pettigrew said hurriedly, "Thousands of years ago, the guardian magic cast by Gryffindor was still at work. You have to pass the final test and overcome the truest fears of your heart to get that thing. That magic is so powerful that no one will succeed. But I know a way, a shortcut, that the Dark Lord told me, and I can"
"Not everything can be shortcuted, Peter Pettigrew!" Evan looked at Peter with pity, his voice filled with confidence, "If that's a test left by Gryffindor, then I believe I can beat it." ”
"Wait, I have something else"
"We've wasted too much time, and after handing you over to the professors, I'm going to find Sirius Black, to save Ron, and to go to the Great Hall for dinner. There's so much to do, so let's get it done as soon as possible, and let me see where Professor Dumbledore is, he may have returned!" Evan tapped his wand at the map of the living spots, "I solemnly swear that I didn't do anything good. ”
As Evan spoke, thin lines of ink like spider webs appeared on the map of the living spots.
The blue-black lines on the map depict all the details of Hogwarts Castle and the various venues, and small ink dots began to appear along the map, each with a name in tiny letters.
Evan glanced in the direction of Dumbledore's office, which was empty.
He looked down and saw that most of the people who had stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas were concentrated in the Great Hall, and it was supposed to be dinner time. However, Evan didn't see Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and he quickly swept towards the Gryffindor Tower, where Harry and Hermione were there, and in front of them was Sirius Black.
When Sirius Black entered the castle, he should have taken Peter to him at once.
Wait, where is Ron?!
Aven's gaze turned, and Ron was nowhere to be seen.
In the next second, he suddenly saw that in Professor Lupin's office on the third floor, where he was, in addition to himself and Peter Pettigrew, there was another person, who was standing outside the door behind him
In the Gryffindor common room, Evan had just left, and Crookshank had also gone to contact Sirius Black with a new password.
Now, only Harry and Hermione remained, standing outside the third-year boys' dorm.
"Ron?" Harry shouted worriedly.
No one responded, and Harry and Hermione looked at each other, both thinking Ron was asleep.
But when he turned around, he found Ron lying on the bed, his eyes open, quietly watching them.
In the dimly lit bedroom, Ron's appearance was extremely eerie, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
After a long time, Hermione timidly said, "You seem to be sick, Ron?!"
"I'm fine!" Ron replied stiffly, and he got out of bed.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other again, worrying at each other's faces.
"No, you don't look good, you should go to Madam Pomfrey, she'll help you. ”
"I don't need any help, I've never been as good as I am now. Ron walked over, and he seemed to be going out.
"We're going to talk to you!" Harry held out his hand to stop Ron, and he exclaimed, "I have something to tell you about last night's events. ”
Harry's anger turned to worry when he knew that Ron was being controlled.
The only thing he wanted to do now was wake up Ron. He remembered that Evan had said that the best way to resist the Imperius Curse was to have a strong will, and as long as his willpower was strong enough, he could resist the invasion of the spell.
Imperius curses people will feel a blank in their minds, and then they will feel extremely happy. Then, a voice will tell the person under the spell to do something. As if hypnotized, the person under the spell enters the subconscious state of consciousness, and he will subconsciously obey the orders of the spellcaster.
But it is not absolute, the person who is under the spell can still feel all the information from the outside world, and will have an impression of everything he does, if these things seriously touch his heart and make him have a sense of resistance, then the person under the spell will actively resist the Imperius curse and weaken the power of this spell to the greatest extent.
"Ron, I know!" Harry cried out as he clasped Ron on shoulders with both hands and looked him in distress, "I know, I know everything, I don't blame you for what happened last night, I shouldn't have punched you at the end, and neither do you"
"What happened last night?!" Ron replied in a monotone voice, "It would be best if you could understand, Harry! ”
"Professor Lupin is innocent, he will not attack anyone. Harry gasped as he shook Ron vigorously with a cry in his voice, "Please, Ron, come to your senses, you shouldn't be like this." (To be continued.) )
