319. Mutation, Blake was attacked
However, just as Lupin and Black were about to use a spell to kill Peter Pettigrew directly, Harry suddenly stood up.
"No!" Harry shouted.
He stood in front of Peter Pettigrew, facing the two wands.
"You can't kill him," he said, out of breath, "you can't." β
Blake and Lupin were shocked, their eyes widening.
"Harry, this scoundrel has cost you both of your parents," Black growled, "this groveling filthy creature will be unmoved to see you die." You heard what he just said, and he thinks that his dog's life is more important than the lives of your whole family. β
"I understand," Harry gasped, "but we can take him to the castle." We can give him to the Dementors. He could go to Azkaban...... Just don't kill him. β
"Harry!" Peter Pettigrew gasped twice and reached for Harry's knee, "Y-thank you...... This is a mercy to me...... Thank you ......."
"Let go of me," Harry spitted away, shaking off Peter Pettigrew's hand in disgust, "I didn't do this for you. I did this because I didn't think my dad would want his best friend to kill someone - especially someone like you. β
No one moved or made a sound except Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew clenched his chest and gasped for air. Blake and Lupin looked at each other. After a while, their wands were lowered.
"You're the only one who has the right to decide, Harry," Blake said, "but, think about it...... Think about what he's done......"
"He can go to Azkaban," Harry said, "and if anyone should go there, it's him......"
Peter Pettigrew was still gasping for air behind him.
"Very well," said Lupin, "stand out, Harry. β
Harry hesitated.
"I'm going to tie him up," said Lupin, "and I mean nothing else." I swear. β
Harry stepped out of the way. This time it was Lupin's wand that shot a strap. In a few moments, Peter Pettigrew was tied up, stuffed with something in his mouth, and writhed on the floor.
"But if you transform, Peter," Blake growled, his own wand pointed at Peter Pettigrew, "we'll kill you." Do you agree, Harry? β
Harry looked down at the poor thing on the floor and nodded, allowing Peter Pettigrew to see it too.
"All right," said Lupin, suddenly taking matters into account, "Ron, I'm not as good at connecting bones as Madam Pomfrey, so I think the best thing to do is if we tie your legs with straps and take you to the school hospital." β
He hurriedly walked over to Ron's side, bent down, touched Ron's leg with his wand, and muttered, "Aweila." The bandage jumped onto Ron's leg, bandaged it tightly, and fastened it to a thin strip of wood. Lupin helped him to his feet. Ron shuddered and put all his weight on one leg, not flinching.
"That's better," he said, "thank you." β
"What about Professor Snape?" Hermione asked in a whisper, looking down at Snape's prostrate body.
"He's fine," said Lupin, bending down and feeling Snape's pulse, "he's just a little ...... It's just stimulated. He was still unconscious. Oh...... Perhaps the best course of action would be to wait until we have reached the castle safely before waking him up. We can take him like this......"
He muttered, "Shapeshifting Phantom." It was as if an invisible rope had been tied to Snape's wrists, neck, and knees, and he was pulled into a standing position, still unpleasantly hanging his head like a strangely shaped puppet. His feet were a few inches off the ground, and his feet were limp. Lupin picked up the cloak of invisibility and put it in his pocket.
"Two of us should be tethered to this thing," Blake said, touching Peter Pettigrew with his big toe, "just in case." β
"I'll come." Lupin said.
"And me." Ron said furiously, limping forward.
Blake summoned heavy handcuffs from the thin air; Peter Pettigrew soon stood up straight again, his left arm cuffed to Lupin's right arm and his right arm to Ron's left. Ron's face was grim, and he seemed to take Spotted's true identity as an insult to him personally.
Harry had never been around a group of eccentric people like he was now. Crookshank Hill leads the way down the stairs, with Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Ron following it, looking like a competitor in a six-legged race. Behind them was Professor Snape, supported by his own wand, held in Sirius's hand, pointed at him, making him creepy floating, his toes hitting each rung as he descended the stairs. Harry and Hermione followed Snape, with Duten at the rear.
"Du Teng, thank you so much just now, if it weren't for your insistence on listening to their explanations, maybe I would have killed them, then I would have made a mistake that I can't forgive."
Harry turned his head and whispered to Duten.
Hermione also turned her head and looked at Duten in the dark passage.
"That's nothing, Harry."
Du Teng smiled.
"You must know that Blake can give up even his life for you, and if he can really kill your parents' enemies, I think even if he is killed by you, he will be willing. So you don't have to mind, everyone is for your good, you just need to cherish these people in front of you. β
Although Duten didn't like Harry very much, it didn't affect his admiration for Harry as a person.
His origin, his experience, and what he faced and was about to face, if it were any teenager his age, he might not have done as well as him. Although he has been reckless, and sometimes a little brainless, this is normal.
Du Teng's current performance is because his heart is no longer young, and he has the advantage of foresight. If he had been a genuine teenager, he wouldn't have been able to do better than Harry.
So even though Harry has countless shortcomings, this man is worthy of admiration. He is brave and resourceful, he can stand up at critical moments and will not drop the chain, and that's enough, you can't expect more, because he is also just a very ordinary teenager.
It's really not easy to get through the tunnels.
Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Ron have to walk sideways, with Lupin still pointing his wand at Peter Pettigrew. They marched in a single row along the tunnels. Crook Hill still heads the road. Harry followed Blake, who still had Snape floating ahead of them; Snape's staggered head slammed into the low top of the tunnel, but Blake deliberately didn't stop it.
"Do you know what that means?" After walking for some time, Black suddenly asked Harry, as they slowly advanced through the tunnels, "Hand over Peter Pettigrew in?" β
"You're free." Harry said.
"Yes......" Sirius said, "but IβI don't know if anyone ever told youβI am your godfather. β
"Yes, I know." Harry said.
"Hmm...... Your parents have appointed me to be your guardian, if they are in misfortune......" Blake paused, his expression a little stiff and stiff, and his tone became a source of gain and loss, and he lost his previous self-confidence. "Of course, if you're willing to live with your aunt or uncle, I'll understand, but...... Not...... Think about it. Once I was reinstated...... If you want a ...... A different home ......"
There was some kind of explosion in Harry's stomach.
"Whatβto live with you?" He said, unknowingly hitting his head on a protruding stone at the top of the tunnel. "Leaving the Dursleys?"
"Of course, I don't think you will," Blake said quickly, "I understand, I just want to ......"
"Are you crazy?" Harry said, his voice hoarse, the same as Black's. "Of course I want to leave the Dursleys! Do you own a house? When will I be able to move in? β
Blake turned to look at him; Snape's head was rubbing against the top of the tunnel, but Black didn't seem to care.
"Would you like to?" He asked, "Are you serious?" β
"Yes, I mean it!" Harry said.
For the first time, Blake's thin face showed a real smile, which Duten had never seen him smile like this before, not even when Peter was subdued.
The difference in the effect of the smile was striking, as if a man ten years younger than him was glaring at him through that mask of hunger; For a moment, people could recognize on his face the man who had laughed when his parents got married.
They didn't speak again until they reached the end of the tunnel. Crook Hill was the first to rush upward; It apparently pressed its claws against the tree's knots, as Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Ron didn't hear any branches swaying wildly as they climbed up.
Blake watched Snape walk through the hole, then let Harry, Hermione, and Duten through. In the end, they all came out.
It was now dark on the ground, and the only light came from the lamps in the castle windows in the distance. Without saying a word, they set off. Peter Pettigrew is still gasping for air, sometimes snorting twice.
"Just one wrong step, Peter." Lupin threatened in front of him, his wand still pointed at Peter Pettigrew's chest from the side. "You know the consequences."
Peter nodded, a look of despair, as if he had appointed it all.
They walked silently across the field, and the lights from the castle slowly brightened. Snape was still floating oddly ahead of Black, his jaw pounding against his chest. And then......
A cloud drifted away. Suddenly a blurred shadow appeared on the ground, and everyone was bathed in moonlight.
Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Ron, and the others suddenly stopped and collided with Snape. Blake froze. He held out his arm and motioned for Harry and Hermione to stop moving forward.
Harry could see Lupin's silhouette from the side. He stiffened. Then his limbs began to tremble.
"Oh my goshβ" Hermione gasped, "he didn't take his medicine tonight!" He's not safe! β
"Run," Blake whispered, "Run!" Right away! Let me take care of it - run! β
Blake roared.
Almost at the same time, an even more terrible roar sounded. Lupin's head was rapidly elongating. His body was the same. His shoulders arched, hairs were coming out of his face and hands, clearly visible, and his hands were curling into claws.
Blake let out a low roar and was about to step forward, but at this moment......
Boom!
A muffled sound came from far away, and it was instantaneously approaching at a super-fast speed.
Du Teng's face changed drastically, and he turned his head sharply to look, and on the roof of the tower in the distance, a black shadow flashed away.
Almost at the same time, a blood flower burst into Blake's chest.
"Damn, careless!"
Duten gritted his teeth, and his wand was pointed at Peter first.
All petrochemicals!
Peter Pettigrew quickly stiffened, only his eyes could move, and Snape's wand, which he had quietly held in his hand, fell to the ground with a pop.
Du Teng then followed his wand quickly slicing through the air in a large circle, and layers of translucent guards appeared around Harry and the others.
"Harry, there's no time, I'll just say it once."
Harry was dumbfounded, or rather, all three of them were dumbfounded. In the face of such a mutation, they could only watch, and their brains went blank. Now that Du Teng had spoken, they subconsciously looked over.
"Stay here and don't go out, remember, don't leave. I'll call the professors with a spell, but even if the professors do, you won't be allowed to leave here as long as I don't come back. It's for your own good, if you don't want to die. β
As he spoke, he was not slow in his hand, first he took Snape's wand in his hand, and with a strong shock, the wand shattered, revealing the core of the wand inside, a phoenix's tail feathers.
Then he raised his hand to put Blake, who had collapsed to the ground, in front of him, holding the phoenix tail feather in his left hand and pressing it against the large hole in his chest, while the wand in his right hand connected to the dots.
The phoenix's tail feathers quickly dissipated, turning into four or five red points of light that landed around the wound.
Weirdly, the bleeding wound that was still bleeding quickly stopped, and Blake, who was already angry, suddenly looked good.
"This spell won't last long, Harry, I'll show you how to open the spell's defenses, remember, only let in Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout, who have the ability to keep Black alive, and then I'll come back and help him heal. The others, not even Dumbledore couldn't let him in, understood? β
"Ming, I understand......"
Harry could see the difference in him at this point.
Ron was completely dumbfounded, Hermione had lost her composure, and only Harry could still listen to Duten.
"Good, remember my words."
Du Teng said one last word, and then jumped directly out of the defensive circle.
By this time, Lupin had completely become, a hideous werewolf.
"I'm sorry, now isn't the time to help you, so stay here for now."
Du Teng said coldly, with a little wand, and a series of stone walls rose from the ground, like a cage, locking Lupin in. There is also a cap on it, which makes it completely impossible for him to escape. Then he raised his wand again and released more than a dozen dazzling balls of light into the air one after another, not only dazzling, but also screaming when these small balls of light rose into the air, and the sound was so sharp that the whole of Hogwarts could hear it.
After doing all this, Du Teng saw the place where the black shadow disappeared before, and his body twisted rapidly, and then turned into a ray of light, piercing the sky in an instant, and heading towards the **** in the distance. (To be continued.) )
