316. The battle in the screaming shack
The passage was dark and long, and Harry and Hermione walked into it, their eyes wide but they couldn't see anything.
Du Teng walked in front, and he only needed the slightest light to see the dark environment clearly, so he didn't stop, strode forward, and soon distanced himself from the two behind him.
"Du, Du Teng? You wait for us, we can't keep up with you. ”
Even if they couldn't see anything, they could still hear the voice, and they could feel that Du Teng was in front of them, and the distance was getting farther and farther away, and they couldn't help but shout.
Du Teng reacted at this time, pouted helplessly, and gently touched his wand backwards, and a small ball of light with a faint light sprayed out from the tip of his wand, and then fluttered in front of Hermione, landing firmly on Hermione's shoulder.
"Keep up, don't fall behind."
Du Teng said without looking back, and continued to walk forward.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and quickly quickened their pace. With the illumination of the small ball of light, although it was not possible to see everything in the passage clearly for safety, it was much more convenient than when there was no small ball of light, and their movement speed gradually increased, and they followed Du Teng again.
The three of them crouched forward in the dark, the passage was a little long, and it took them a long time to reach the end of the passage.
Ron's shouts had long since disappeared from the passage, and they couldn't help but be a little worried, and the last leg of the road was almost cat-to-waist, and finally all three of them rushed out of the passage and into a dilapidated building.
"This is ......"
Harry lifted his glasses and looked around curiously.
"Do you still care where this is? Ron is in danger right now, we need to hurry up and save him! ”
Hermione nudged Harry and said with some anxiety.
"It's okay, Hermione, don't worry, there's Duten here, I'm afraid Ron is in danger."
Harry somehow calmed down at this moment, and when he saw that Du Teng was not in a hurry, he instinctively believed him.
Hermione pondered, this is also the reason, Du Teng's excellence is beyond the imagination of all of them, the previous few crises, it was Du Teng's action to save the day. For Hermione, the most impressive thing was the incident of the women's toilet trolls, when they had just entered the school, and they had no room to resist against the trolls.
At that time, she felt that she was about to die, and it was Du Teng's hand that saved her. At that time, she didn't feel anything, but she was grateful to Duten. Now that I think about it again, Du Teng's high-spirited appearance at that time somehow made her heart move, and when she looked at Du Teng again, she felt that Du Teng was more handsome than before.
In fact, Du Teng was already very handsome.
"You little goblin who can wake up others every day."
He said this to himself every morning, and the Sphinx felt like vomiting about it more than once.
Well, far away......
In short, Hermione looked at Du Teng with a calm face at this time, and the anxiety in her heart gradually faded, and she was no longer as anxious as before.
"Harry, I'm glad you're so dependent on me...... But it doesn't seem to be very good for your growth......"
Du Teng said with a wry smile, he was already crazy with joy in his heart, and the more Harry relied on him, the better. Although the plot of Harry Potter does not seem to have changed much, he robbed Harry of many opportunities to become famous, and invisibly changed the plot. If it goes on like this, by the end of the plot, the divine power he can get will be very rich, so he is happy to see this happen.
After speaking, he looked at his surroundings in a disguised manner.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a screaming shack."
"What?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Harry and Hermione screamed and jumped up and down.
"Du, Du Teng, you, where did you say this is?"
Harry asked, looking around, trembling.
Hermione also had a little head and a pale face.
"Screaming shack, what's wrong...... Oh, I see, you're scared. Hehe, do you really think this is a haunted house? ”
"Hard, isn't it?"
"So many people say it's a haunted house, and of course we ...... too"
Harry and Hermione's lips trembled a little, ghosts or something, there are many at Hogwarts, but they still have fear, this is human nature, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid of the unknown, which is normal.
"Haha, you guys, you've really been deceived. You don't want to think about it, if this is really a haunted house, how could Professor Dumbledore leave it alone? Ghosts or something, for ordinary people, may be really terrifying, but we are wizards, and we can use powerful spells to deal with ghosts. Professor Dumbledore would not allow this kind of instability to exist around Hogwarts, if there were really very terrifying ghosts here, he would have killed them a long time ago, and could he let it go?
So there must be some secret here, maybe Dumbledore made this place out on purpose. ”
Of course, Du Teng knew what the screaming shack was all about, but he couldn't say it now, he could only try to speculate in an appropriate way.
Listening to his speculation, Harry and Hermione were finally less afraid. But it was impossible to let go completely, Hermione looked around, and still shook involuntarily.
"Let's go save Ron."
"Okay, let's move on."
Du Teng nodded and took the lead and walked forward.
Walking and walking, after a while, there was a creaking sound overhead, and something seemed to be moving upstairs. All three looked up at the ceiling. Hermione subconsciously grabbed Duten's arm, grabbing Duten's arm so tightly that his fingers were a little unconscious. He raised an eyebrow at her, and she nodded again, letting go of his arm.
They crept out into the hall as quietly as they could. Then climb the crumbling staircase. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust, but not on the floor, something had been dragged upstairs, leaving a wide, shiny mark on the floor.
Only one door was open. They snuck over and heard movement behind the door: a low moan, then a deep and loud whine of a cat feeling content. They exchanged glances and nodded.
Duten gripped his wand and kicked the door open.
A luxurious four-poster bed, the curtain of which was all dusty, and Crookhill lay on the bed, and when he saw them, he chirped loudly in satisfaction. On the floor next to Crook Hill, Ron clutched one of his legs, which stretched out unnaturally.
Harry and Hermione rushed to him.
"Ron—are you alright?"
"Where's that dog?"
"It's not a dog." Ron groaned. He clenched his teeth because of the pain. "Harry, this is the trap ......"
"What-?"
"He's the dog...... He's an Animagus......"
Ron looked over Harry's shoulder.
Harry spun around quickly.
There was a snap, and the man in the shadows closed the door behind them.
a clump of dirty, tangled hair that hung down to the elbow; If the eyes hidden in the deep, dark sockets do not glow, he may be a corpse; The waxy skin clings to the skeleton of the face, and it looks like a skeletal cut. He grinned with yellow teeth, it was Sirius Black.
"Except for your weapons!" He said in a hoarse voice, pointing Ron's wand at them.
Harry and Hermione's wands were gone, flying high in the air, caught by Black. Duten's wand was held intact in his hand, and Blake's wand was neutralized by him the moment it was released, and it did not work on him. Blake didn't care, he took a step forward and stared at Harry.
"I think you'll come to help your friends." He said in a hoarse voice. His voice sounded like he hadn't spoken in a long time. "Your dad would do the same to me. You were so brave that you didn't go to the teacher. I appreciate it...... It's a lot easier that way......"
Harry's ears rang as if he had been taunting his father, as if Black had just shouted out loud. Harry's chest heaved violently, he had never been so angry. For the first time in his life, he longed for the wand to return to his hand, not to defend himself, but to attack...... Homicide.
He yelled at the doctor and rushed forward frantically, not knowing what he was going to do, but the two men at his side moved, and both hands grabbed him and dragged him back.
At the same time, Duten also stood in front of him, blocking Harry's path with his body.
"Calm down. Harry! Hermione whispered to him in fear.
Ron looked at Blake.
"If you're going to kill Harry, you're going to kill us too!" He said furiously, though the straining to his feet had made his face even paler, and he was a little shaky as he spoke.
Something flickered in Blake's dark eyes.
"Lie down," he said to Ron calmly, "you're going to hurt that leg even more." ”
"Do you hear me?" Ron said weakly, though he was holding on to Harry in pain to get up straight. "You must kill all four of us!"
"There's only going to be one murder here tonight." Blake said, his smile widened.
"Why do that?" Harry spat and struggled to break away from Ron and Hermione. "You didn't care last time, did you? In order to get his hands on Peter Pettigrew, he can kill so many Muggles without care......"
"Harry!" Hermione sobbed and said, "Calm down! ”
"He killed my mom and dad!"
Harry roared, wrestling hard, breaking free of Ron and Hermione's shackles and rushing forward.
He had forgotten about magic, he had forgotten that he was short and thin, only thirteen years old, and that Black was a tall adult. Harry knew in his heart that he was going to hurt Blake as much as he could, not how much he was going to hurt it......
"Harry, listen to Hermione and calm down."
Du Ten struck again, and he threw a spell directly, and a rope suddenly flew out, binding Harry to death. Unbalanced, Harry fell to the ground with a loud thud. This time, the people watching next to him felt pain for him.
"You ......"
Blake's face changed slightly, and he was about to step forward.
Du Teng changed hands suddenly.
"Except for your weapons."
Ron's wand was knocked high and landed on the floor not far away.
"Now that you don't have a wand, you can't do anything to Harry."
Du Teng looked at Blake with a serious face, with an expression like a great enemy.
Blake spread out and fell against the wall, his thin chest rising and falling rapidly, watching Harry slowly approach, Harry's wand pointed straight at Blake's heart.
"Are you going to kill me, Harry?"
Blake looked at Duten, then at Harry, and whispered.
Harry lay on the ground, but looked up at him and saw him being pointed at Duten's wand, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You killed my parents." Harry said, his voice trembling slightly, "Duten, help me untie the ropes, I'm going to kill him myself." ”
"I don't deny it," he said calmly, "but if you know the whole story—"
"All the inside story?" Harry repeated, a violent thumping sound in his ears. "You betrayed them to Voldemort, that's all I need to know!"
"You must listen to me," said Blake, and now there was an urgent tone in his voice, "and if you don't—you don't understand—you'll regret it." ”
"I know more than you think," said Harry, his voice trembling even more, "You've never heard her scream, have you?" My mom - trying not to let Voldemort kill me...... And you did that -- you did it...... Duten, untie the rope, I'm going to kill him! ”
Harry screamed frantically, and Duten glanced sideways at him, then shook his head slightly.
"Someone's coming."
Du Ten spoke for the first time and looked at the door.
After a while, some movement came in, and everyone in the room held their breath and waited quietly.
The door to the room was slammed open in a burst of sparks, and Lupin rushed in, and after seeing the situation in the room, he raised his wand as soon as possible.
"Except for your weapons!" Lupin shouted.
Du Teng's wand finally couldn't hold it, and flew out directly.
Harry was desperate, he was about to win, but now he had lost his chance. Unsurprisingly, Black will be sent to the Dementors, and he loses the chance to kill him.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations, and Lupin and Blake actually hugged each other.
Harry was angry, Ron was angry, Hermione was angry, and only Duten remained calm, quietly looking at Lupin.
Lupin didn't pay attention to Duten's gaze, and after reconciling with Blake, he began to try to explain, but Harry and they didn't listen. As a last resort, Lupin untied the ropes from Harry's body and returned his wand to the four teenagers to show that he was harmless.
Harry calmed down a little and began to listen to Lupin's explanation.
Lupin's explanation was quite messy, but everyone understood what he meant, until he said the last and most important sentence.
Lupin points to Ron's mouse, named Spotted, who doesn't believe his rat has anything to do with it.
"He's not a mouse," Lupin said calmly, "he's a wizard." ”
"It's an Animagus," said Blake, "whose name is Peter Pettigrew." (To be continued.) )
