Chapter 297 The Night of the Killing
"Hagrid, I'm not leaving!"
Harry drew his wand to show his determination, he looked at Lupin and said,
"If my dad was here, he wouldn't want me to be a deserter."
Snape sneered, but Sirius glared at him.
"You don't understand, Harry!" Lupin said a little angrily,
"It's not the skirmishes you had with Mr. Malfoy at school, it's a real battle, you know what it means, you'll see the lives of your enemies or friends wither before you, you'll see hot blood splattered on your face from those hideous wounds, you'll hear wails far more terrible than the roars of goblins, which are not at all something that a few underage wizards can bear."
"But--"
Hermione was scared, but she plucked up the courage to say,
"Harry defeated the Corpse last year, and Professor Bryan has been encouraging us to face the real dangers, and he believes that will help us grow."
Remus suffocated his tone, and then, annoyedly,
"I don't deny Amosta's claims, I just think it's a little too radical!"
"Go back to school, Potter--"
Snape finally spoke, and he commanded in the same irritating flirtatious tone that he usually gave instructions in class,
"This is not a Quidditch pitch where you can be a hero."
Harry glared at Snape, but Snape's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his anger fell into it without any waves.
"Listen, you guys—"
At the last moment, Hagrid made up his mind, and he said in a voice that only a few of them could hear,
"Let's break out together, Sirius, you ride that motorcycle of yours and take a few little guys back to the castle first, as long as you escape, these werewolves will be okay with the rest!"
"What are you guys thinking about?"
Greyback finally lost his patience, he gestured, and among the surrounding trees, the hundreds of werewolves he used to deal with the golden viper were all revealed, although these werewolves were still human, but the tyranny and ferocity in their eyes made several young wizards who had never seen war shudder.
"Do it!"
Hagrid suddenly roared, and Remus immediately raised his wand and fired a brilliant firework into the unfathomable night sky.
"Damn bastards!"
When Remus's distress signal went out, Greyback, who had finally reacted, changed color and let out a terrible wolf howl, and his form changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, Greyback vanished, and a werewolf covered in stinging gray hair, only a head shorter than Hagrid, with extremely gloomy and bloodthirsty eyes, appeared in front of everyone, Wererick hissed at the blood moon in the sky, and his howl seemed to be a signal, and the werewolves who surrounded them howled one after another!
"Oh my God, we're dead--"
Ron looked desperate and was about to collapse to the ground as soon as his leg went limp, but Hagrid lifted him up with one hand and yelled,
"Get out!"
Hagrid threw Ron to Remus and led the charge, and at this time, several werewolves who could not hold back the desire to attack had already rushed to Hagrid, and under Harry's terrified gaze, Hagrid slapped him, and the leading werewolf directly deformed his head, flying more than ten feet in the air before falling to the ground.
Hagrid kicked out again, and with a palpitating bone cracking sound, blood spurted from the mouth of the second werewolf, and Harry, who had excellent dynamic vision, could even see that the broken ribs pierced the werewolf's skin and fell into the air, and it seemed that he was already dead.
In the next moment, many things happen at the same time.
Greyback flew into the air, baring his sharp canine teeth at Professor Lupin, and Hermione screamed with a murderous smile, and Professor Lupin, who was holding Malfoy in one hand, took a step forward, like a fencing stabbing his wand,
"There are many obstacles!"
The breeze cast a faint barrier in front of Remus, blocking Greyback's leap in the nick of time.
Snape's expression was cold, he suddenly waved his wand, and in a trance, Harry seemed to hear the sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, and the five or six werewolves rushing up in front of Snape seemed to have collided head-on with a high-speed flying blade, flesh flying sideways, and stinking blood splattered the sky.
This cruel scene gave an unparalleled impact on the worldview of the little guys in the greenhouse, not to mention Ron, at one point, Harry also felt his feet go limp, he stared at Snape's back in disbelief, he couldn't imagine that Snape, who would only be in the dark and damp basement with disgusting frog brainstems and bat livers, was so powerful.
Sirius faced no less werewolves than any of them, and his wand was still in Snape's hand.
In the midst of this wolf howl, Sirius's body suddenly rose a lot, and he turned into a big black dog like a black bear, facing the werewolf flying up, he hedged up with a no inferior attitude, and the sound of the heavy flesh hitting made people sweat coldly.
Since entering Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione, and Ron have faced and dealt with many crises together.
And those legendary experiences are beyond the reach of most adult wizards, but with the battle in front of them at the moment, Harry has to admit that there is nothing they can do.
The painful wail, the desperate eyes between the near death, the blood-colored flowers that continue to bloom and wither in front of them.
"Remove your weapons!"
Sirius roared and was entangled with several werewolves, and this also made the moving small formation empty, and the werewolf with only one missing ear took the opportunity to attack the team from this direction, Harry subconsciously raised his hand and released a spell, but the red light of the disarming spell hit the werewolf, but it flew out with the mane of the werewolf with the broken ear, and it did not affect him in any way!
Roar!
At the critical moment, Sirius desperately got rid of a werewolf that bit his hind legs, pounced like a madman, bit the back of the neck of the werewolf with a broken ear, and threw him out directly, but then the werewolves who had just been thrown away by him surrounded him, and they bit Sirius's four legs respectively, and retreated in their respective directions, it seemed that they were going to split Sirius's five horses!
"No!"
Harry roared, halting his retreat and about to rush forward, but before he could take a step, he suddenly noticed Sirius's eyes, gray eyes with an indomitable determination.
Roar!
Sirius yelled at Harry again, Harry didn't understand, but he understood that Sirius wouldn't allow him to rush forward, and he was ordering him to retreat.
Although, Sirius and Professor Lupin hadn't finished everything before, but looking at that determined look, at this moment, Harry finally believed that Sirius was innocent, and it was Ron's mouse who killed his parents, the guy named Peter Pettigrew!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and with the exception of Hagrid, who was moving forward, both Lupin and Snape noticed the danger Sirius was facing, but Greyback's entanglement prevented Lupin from withdrawing his hand, and he could only watch Sirius about to be torn apart.
Snape's cheeks twitched violently, no one knew what a complicated psychological struggle he had gone through at the moment, how much pain he had overcome, anyway, he drew his wand and aimed it at Sirius, ready to help.
"Avada suo!"
Moments before Snape's wand fell, a shrill cry overwhelmed all roars on the tumultuous battlefield, and Death swung his scythe, dwelling in a miserable green light, and suddenly came to Sirius's head!
