Chapter 115: The Battle of St. Mungo
The last section of the first year of Defence Against the Dark Arts is about werewolves, and Kyle is naturally no stranger to them.
It resembles a wolf, but it can walk upright, has a slightly shorter muzzle, gray fur, and sharp hook-like nails in front of its claws.
This one in front of me is definitely a werewolf.
But doesn't this creature only transform when the moon is full?
So what's this in front of you...... Sunlight Werewolf?
Kyle didn't have time to think at this point, he quickly raised his arm, and his wand slid out of his sleeve and into his hand.
All descriptions of werewolves have the same sentence, which is that their brains are chaotic, they have no reason at all, and only instinctively attack everything in front of them.
This werewolf is no exception.
It stared at Kyle, its eyes full of cruelty and bloodlust.
It can't be helped, who made Kyle the closest.
The werewolf opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth at least two inches long, and cloudy saliva slowly trickled down between the teeth and dripped onto the brown-red floor.
"Pop ......"
"Roar!"
The moment the werewolf pounced, Kyle recited the spell first.
"Weak!"
"Knock ......"
The werewolf's movements froze, and his body fell uncontrollably to the side.
Thanks to Oren, in his last lesson, he talked about the characteristics of werewolves in great detail, and they were all dry goods that were not in the books.
According to him, werewolves mostly choose to jump when facing their prey, which is called a forward pounce.
And the soft ground can make them lose their focus, which is perfect for this purpose.
Although the werewolf quickly got back on his feet, it was enough for Kyle.
He didn't dare to go back to Hagrid's hospital room, there was too late, and the act of turning to open the door would expose his back to the werewolf.
Kyle didn't hesitate, quickly taking two steps back and distancing himself from the werewolf while raising his wand in his hand.
The floor in front of him began to bulge upwards, and soon rows of stone cones only a few inches high formed.
These stone cones are not only sharp, but they are also so strong that even a thick-skinned werewolf would feel very uncomfortable stepping on them.
It tried to pass over the wall......
"Smack!"
At that moment, a ward door was slammed open, and Hagrid's massive body appeared in the hallway.
He rushed out as soon as he heard the movement outside.
Hagrid was also stunned for a moment when he saw the werewolf, but he soon spotted Kyle not far away.
Hagrid's face began to flush rapidly.
"You monster, how dare you attack the little wizard!"
He tore down the door and threw it like a discus.
"Bang...... Oh! ”
Hagrid's head was still good, and the door slammed into the werewolf, causing it to let out a wail.
Even Kyle gasped subconsciously, and he even heard the "click" of a bone as it broke.
The werewolf was unconscious, but the most basic beastly instinct was still there, and it gave Hagrid a horrified look, then turned and ran.
Looking at the direction it was leaving, Kyle's pupils shrank and he shouted, "Hagrid, there's a staircase, can't let it pass!" ”
"I know."
Hagrid hurried after him.
But his speed was so slow that his tight hospital gown was wrapped around his body like a bandage, and he couldn't even run, let alone catch up with a werewolf.
Even Kyle overtook him with ease.
"Kyle, you're back!"
Hagrid could only run and tear at his clothes.
"Damn, St. Mungo's people haven't arrived yet!"
On the other side, Kyle, who chased out, was also worried in his heart, that was a werewolf, if he was bitten...... He could basically say goodbye to Hogwarts.
Unlike Lupin's case, there were so many people in St. Mungo's that it would be impossible to hide it if he was bitten.
But he couldn't watch the werewolves rush to the first floor and attack the unprepared.
"Good thing, there's Hagrid."
Kyle listened to the dull footsteps behind him, and his heart was much more steady.
As soon as the werewolf reached the staircase of the hallway and his speed began to slow down, he immediately stretched out his wand.
"There are many obstacles!"
"Knock back quickly!"
Two spells struck the werewolf one after the other, and it paused for a moment, then slammed into the wall behind it.
Kyle looked back.
Professor Kettleburn was lying on his side in the hallway, holding his wand in his remaining arm.
The knockback spell he had cast just now was the one he had cast.
"You ...... What is this doing......"
At this time, a childish voice suddenly came.
Kyle jerks his head around, and at some point, there's a chubby, round-faced boy around the corner of the stairs.
He held a lunch box and looked at them with horror on his face, apparently frightened.
Not only Kyle, but the werewolf also noticed the sudden extra people.
A fierce glint appeared again in its dim eyes, and it struggled to pounce on the boy.
"Weak!"
The werewolf who had just stood up tilted his body and fell down again.
Kyle swung his wand and turned an iron frame in the hallway into a sharp spear, throwing it at the werewolf with all his might.
The spear only pierced the werewolf's skin slightly, and it could no longer enter.
However, Kyle didn't expect to succeed in one go, so he immediately cast another spell after throwing his spear.
"Knock back quickly!"
As if hammering a nail, the spear with the repulsion spell applied pierced directly through the werewolf's chest, nailing it to the ground.
"Kyle, pop up...... Forehead! ”
Hagrid finally arrived, looking at the werewolf in front of him, and then silently lowered his raised arms.
It seems like...... I don't need him anymore.
"Could you please go find someone from the hospital?" Kyle looked at the little boy and said, "You tell them there's an out-of-control werewolf on the second floor. ”
The boy seemed frightened by the sight before him, and Kyle shouted twice before he could react.
"Good...... Ok ......"
He gave Kyle a frightened look, then ran downstairs as fast as he could.
"I think he may have been scared." Hagrid next to him said.
Not to mention a child, even he was scared a lot just now.
"There's no way around it." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and said, "And it's better to be scared than to be a werewolf." ”
By this time, Professor Kettleburn had already put on his prosthetic leg and limped over.
"I'm sorry kid, I was careless."
"I'll just put on one more spell at that time."
Kyle shook his head, "It's not your fault, Professor. ”
The werewolf had little ability to resist at the time, mainly because he suddenly went crazy again because he saw the boy.
The boy was standing at the corner of the stairs, and Professor Kettleburn was not in sight of him.
