Chapter 156: Capture?

After going out, the group cautiously rushed to the river.

"Didn't you say there were people from the Ministry of Magic?" Ron looked left and right

"The people at the Ministry of Magic obviously don't like to be around Dementors either," Harry looked at the sky. In the moonlight, the sky of Hogsmeade appeared in a dense black shadow.

"And how did they find Sirius? Dementors don't care about a dog," Ron curious

But soon, he solved his doubts.

A few people who were walking through the houses suddenly heard a familiar whimper in front of them.

"It's a dog's voice," Betty frowned slightly, all the more familiar to her. This is what Lowe makes when he fights with food.

To be on the safe side, she cast a spell.

"Stand still," he admonished

Several people leaned back to the hut, holding their breath and staring nervously at the exit of the alley.

"Huh~huh-" The voice became clearer and clearer

Then, a large black shadow turned from the street into the alley and slowly walked towards them.

"What is this thing!" Although they didn't make a sound, several people still shouted out in their hearts.

Facing the creature in front of them, which is suspected to be a dog, everyone's most intuitive impression is weird.

It doesn't look like Blake and Lowe on the surface, it has dark and shiny fur. It's as pure black as Best. The white moonlight could not reveal any details of the body, only a vague outline. In the eyes were two bright blue flames, and the flames were constantly beating with the mood swings of the owner.

To be honest, if it weren't for the constant dripping from the corners of his mouth, he would have thought that two ghost fires had floated in if he didn't pay attention to it.

Most importantly, it's really big. On all fours, he was about the height of Harry, and his muscular figure filled the alley. As they walked, several people could vaguely hear the sound of their bodies rubbing against the walls of their houses.

Ron closed his eyes, not daring to make eye contact. I'm afraid I'll scream.

The strange creature entered the alley, first scanning it with its turquoise eyes of fire. Then the probe sniffed the ground, and the breath exhaled from his nose was like rising steam.

Fortunately, nothing was found. After the search was fruitless, the body suddenly dissolved and sank to the surface, turning into a black shadow and wandering away from the alley.

"Whew—scared me to death!" When it left, Ron patted his chest with trepidation.

"—Shadow Escape! This is the Spottershire Shadow Hound! Hermione looked incredulous

"What's that?" Harry asked

"The notorious executioner. Like the Dementors, they belong to the Ministry of Magic. Hermione looked disgusted

"Like a Dementor? It's average~ It's just a little scary," Harry felt that the Shadow Hounds couldn't compare to the Dementors

"The main role of the Shadow Hunting Dog is to hunt. As long as you show a shadow, you can't escape its eyes. It's a good thing we're just in the shadows of the house, otherwise it wouldn't be useful to block out the magic. Hermione explained, "The book says that the Shadow Hounds have not been found for nearly 20 years and are thought to be extinct. ”

"Then we're so lucky," Ron spat out

"Be careful, follow the shadows." Betty confessed and continued to rush out of the village.

The rest of the trip went relatively smoothly. After leaving the village, there was no patrol of the Bandashire Shadow Hunting Dogs.

"Is Peter still within Hogwarts range?" Betty asked

"Just disappeared on the west side of the pitch," Harry, who had been looking at the map, immediately replied, "I guess we're crossing the river."

"Hmm" Betty nodded, drawing her wand, "Hawk whistle!" ”

Three owl phantoms flew towards the river

"We're going to pick up the speed," he said, and ran out first.

After passing through the jungle, there is a meadow with a very large area. It is divided in two by a river that is not very wide. The Hangis River – named in honor of the founder of the village. At the same time, it is also the dividing line between Hogsmeade and Hogwarts.

It's easy to get here. The grass is not like a jungle, and several people can run wild directly with the blessing of the light body technique. After about a minute, the people standing on the slope could see the river below very clearly.

"Did you find anything?" Harry asked

"No news came," Betty shook her head

"Not on the shore yet?" Hermione guessed

"I don't know," Betty shook her head, "It stands to reason - the river is not wide, and the current is not fast, it should have come up a long time ago." ”

"Could it be drowned," Ron guessed maliciously

"No... Unless..... He didn't choose to go ashore on this section."

Betty suddenly woke up. She hurriedly commanded the two owls, one upstream, and the other downstream...

"Found it!"

Sure enough, in the slowly flowing river downstream, an oily mouse was grabbing a wooden stick and drifting with the current.

"Follow me!" The flow of water is not fast and can catch up.

....

In the river, Peter Pettigrew, in the form of a mouse, looks apprehensively at the sky. It wasn't that he was worried about whether he would be able to escape. After all, there is an oath first, and it should be no problem to leave. He cares about what to do in the future.

But the starry sky couldn't help light his way. He was very sure that tomorrow - the contents of the photo letter - will be spread to all corners of the world. When the time comes, not to mention the disgrace... The Ministry of Magic's hunt is absolutely indispensable.

Not to mention, the friends who were kind in the past. These people want to eat him.

After thinking about it, there is only one way left. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had to do it for the sake of his life.

"Peter!"

He was in a state of melancholy when a sudden roar came from behind him. The voice was familiar, it was Harry.

By the time Peter turned around, Harry and Ron were already in sight.

In the end, it was a boy, and under the eagerness of the mood, he quickly distanced himself from the girl.

"Suffer death! Peter" Ron waved his wand, and a white light shot at Peter.

It's a pity that it missed. The attack sank into the water and exploded into a splash.

Seeing this, Peter immediately jumped into the water and quickly swam ashore. Now that it has been discovered, it is better to go ashore. Hiding in the water is only passively beaten.

When Peter came ashore, they discovered that he had a wand wrapped around his tail. The moment he stepped on land, Peter restored his prototype.

"I don't have time to delay you" was discovered, but Peter did not put them down. He shook the water droplets on his wand and looked up at the dark shadows in the starry sky, "Let me review your homework."

After speaking, the wand waved "Happy Charm!" ”

The spell was cast, and a flash of light flashed over the two of them.

"Haha~haha-"

"Ha-Reservoir Dogs-Haha~"

They pointed at Peter, smiling so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.

"I hope you'll be able to laugh later~ But I don't have time to appreciate it" Peter didn't pay attention to the ridicule of the two. Or rather, he's used to it.

The body turned into a puff of black smoke and was about to leave

"Call the gods and call the guard!"

An elegant silvery-white bird, dragging its long tail feathers, flew straight into Peter.

It was Betty and Hermione who arrived

"Stop!" Hermione hurriedly unenveloped the two who fell to the ground laughing

"It feels pretty good~" Ron had no heart or lungs

"It's just that my stomach hurts," Harry rubbed his stomach

"The Dementors are here! You go deal with Peter," Betty quickly reminded the two big-hearted men

Harry noticed that the sky had suddenly darkened. The grass on the ground has begun to frost in this spring season. The happy mood of the two of them just now was like a bright light in the dark night, attracting all the Dementors around them.

"Oh-" The Patronus erupted in a dazzling white light under Betty's command.

Hovering in the air for a circle, it frightened the Dementors and kept them from approaching.

"Except for your weapons!" It is said that when the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed. Harry's eyes were red, and he charged forward as he cast a spell.

"Harry!" Ron is also always the first to respond to his "The world is spinning!" ”

Their attacks were fast, but Peter was old and experienced in battle.

"Spell Counter!"

A cloud of mist formed in front of him. The duo's spell was snapped back and struck themselves.

Ron immediately spiraled into the sky and fell to the ground. Harry's wand was also out of his hand in an instant. But this did not discourage his anger, and he still rushed at Peter.

"If you want to reunite with your parents, I will fulfill you!" Peter smiled cruelly, and his wand was pointed at him.

"Harry, come back!" Betty hurriedly shouted

She didn't finish her words

"Arvada gnaws on big melons!" Green light shot out of Peter's wand and hit Harry.

At the last moment

"Whoosh——! A dark golden streamer flew into the room

"Smack——! The moment the gold and green collided, the Avada Curse was instantly defeated.

"Wang ——!" Here comes the real reservoir dogs... A black vicious dog roared and rushed out from behind.

It turned out that Sirius, having lost Peter's tracks by the river, swam to the opposite bank. Then they tracked Harry's scent and followed.

Peter was slightly flustered when he saw Blake appear. But immediately reacted, "There is no wand, do you want to send you to death!" ”

"Divided!" Instead of attacking Black, he hit Harry directly. He also knows that Blake, in the form of Animagus, is quite flexible and may not be able to hit. Attacking Harry has the same effect.

Sure enough, it worked. Seeing that Harry was in danger, Blake ignored Peter and turned to pounce on Harry, avoiding the attack.

"Boom-" The spell hit the grass, blasting a large hole.

"It's really embarrassing~ old friend" Peter took advantage of the victory to chase "the prairie fire!" ”

With a flick of his wand, the flames fanned out towards Harry and Black.

Here, Betty, who had her hands free, immediately cast a spell. She got down on one knee and rested her wand against the grass, "The spring is flowing!" ”

As the flames erupted, a fountain suddenly erupted from under Harry's feet. The spring rose and gathered into a ball of water to envelop the two of them.

"Zizi Zi ————" countless transpiration water vapor spread throughout the audience

"Breeze" Betty waved her wand again, and a strong wind blew away the fog.

The scene in the field was also exposed to everyone's eyes

"It's a pity~" Peter sighed. The reason why he didn't take the opportunity to escape was because he wanted to see the scene he wanted.

I saw the two of them fall to the ground, not worried about their lives. But being hit by the scorching water vapor is certainly not very pleasant.

"Freezing Spell!" Seeing that Peter's attention was drawn, Hermione seized the opportunity to freeze his legs.

"Bondage" Betty followed

An aura locked onto Peter

"It's over," Betty breathed a sigh of relief

"Woo-" Blake, who got back on his feet, resumed his prototype. He walked slowly towards Pettigrew.

"Oh ~ Peter... Peter... Peter. Do you know how much I miss you! Sirius grabbed him by the hair with both hands, forcing him to look at himself.
