"Hagrid, I don't want to leave!"
Harry took out his wand to express his determination. He looked at Lupine and said,
"If my dad were here, he wouldn't want me to be a deserter."
Snape sneered, but Sirius glared at him.
"You don't understand, Harry!" Lupine said a little angrily.
"This is not your usual little conflict with Mr. Malfoy in school. This is a real battle. Do you know what this means? You will see the lives of your enemies or friends withering in front of you. You will see hot Blood spatters on your face from those hideous wounds, and you will hear a wailing that is far more terrifying than the roar of ghosts. This is completely beyond the ability of a few underage wizards."
"But--"
Hermione was scared, but she mustered up the courage to say,
"Harry defeated the Inferi last year. Professor Brain has always encouraged us to face real dangers. He believes that can help us grow."
Remus choked, then said angrily,
"I don't deny what Amosta said, I just think it's a bit too radical!"
"Go back to school, Potter--"
Snape finally spoke, commanding in the irritating airy tone he usually gave instructions in class,
"This is not a Quidditch pitch where you can be heroic."
Harry glared at Snape, but Snape's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and his anger fell into it, completely unwavering.
"You guys listen -"
At the last moment, Hagrid made up his mind and said in a voice that only a few of them could hear,
"Let's break out together, Sirius. You ride your motorcycle and take a few little guys back to the castle first. As long as you escape, these werewolves will have nothing to do with the rest of the people!"
"What are you planning!"
Greyback finally lost his patience. He made a gesture, and among the surrounding trees, hundreds of werewolves that he used to deal with Golden Viper all revealed their true forms. Although these werewolves still had human postures, but... The cruelty and ferocity in their eyes made several young wizards who had never seen war shudder.
"Do it!"
Hagrid suddenly roared loudly, and Remus immediately raised his wand and fired a brilliant firework into the unfathomable night sky.
"Damn bastards!"
When Remus's distress signal was extinguished, Greyback finally reacted and his color suddenly changed. After letting out a shrill wolf howl, his form changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, Greyback disappeared. A werewolf covered with gray hair like needles, only one head shorter than Hagrid, with extremely sinister and bloodthirsty eyes appeared in front of everyone. The werewolf Greyback faced the sky. The blood moon hissed, and his howling seemed to be a signal. The werewolves surrounding them howled one after another!
"Oh my god, we're dead--"
Ron's eyes looked desperate, and he was about to collapse to the ground as soon as his legs gave out, but Hagrid lifted him up with one hand and yelled,
"rush out!"
Hagrid threw Ron to Remus and took the lead in charging. At this time, several werewolves who could not restrain their desire to attack had already rushed in front of Hagrid. Under Harry's frightened eyes, Hagrid suddenly With the slap, the leading werewolf's head deformed and he flew more than ten feet in the air before falling to the ground.
Hagrid immediately kicked out again, and with the heart-stopping sound of bones cracking, blood spurted out from the second werewolf's mouth. Harry, who had excellent dynamic vision, could even see that the broken ribs punctured the skin of the werewolf. It fell in the air, and it looked like it was dead.
In the next few moments, many things happened simultaneously.
Greyback suddenly flew into the air and bared his sharp canine teeth at Professor Lupin. His murderous smile made Hermione scream loudly, and Professor Lupin, who was holding Malfoy in one hand, suddenly took a step forward. , like a sword stabbing out one's own wand,
"There are many obstacles!"
The breeze bloomed into a vaguely visible barrier in front of Remus, blocking Greyback's leap in the blink of an eye.
Snape's expression was cold, and he suddenly waved his wand. In a daze, Harry seemed to hear the clang of a sharp blade being unsheathed, and the five or six werewolves rushing towards Snape seemed to have collided head-on with a high-speed flyby. With his sharp blade, pieces of flesh flew across the sky, and smelly blood splashed into the sky.
This cruel scene had an unparalleled impact on the worldview of the few little guys in the greenhouse. Not to mention Ron, at a certain moment, Harry also felt that his feet were weak, and he stared at Snape in disbelief. It was impossible to imagine that Snape, who only lived in a dark and damp basement with disgusting frog brain stems and bat livers for company, could be so powerful.
Sirius faced the first wave of werewolves no less than any of them, and his wand was still in Snape's hand.
Amidst the howling sounds of wolves, Sirius's body suddenly grew taller. He turned into a big black dog that reminded him of a black bear. Facing the werewolf flying up, he rushed forward with no inferiority. , the sound of the heavy physical impact made people break out in cold sweat.
Since entering Hogwarts, Harry, Hermione and Ron have faced and dealt with many crises together.
Those legendary experiences are something that most adult wizards cannot experience, but for the battle currently before them, Harry had to admit that they were powerless.
The miserable wails, the desperate eyes on the verge of death, and the bloody flowers that bloom and wither in front of your eyes.
"Expelliarmus!"
Sirius roared and was entangled with several werewolves, which also made this small and constantly moving formation empty. A werewolf with a missing ear took the opportunity to attack the team from this direction. Harry subconsciously raised his hand and released a Curse, but the red light of the Disarming Curse clearly hit the werewolf, but flew away against the mane of the broken-eared werewolf without any impact on him!
Roar!
At the critical moment, Sirius desperately tried to get rid of a werewolf biting his hind leg. He rushed towards him like a madman, bit the back of the earless werewolf's neck, and threw him away. However, he was just thrown away. The werewolves surrounded him. They bit Sirius's four legs respectively and retreated in their own directions. It looked like they wanted to divide Sirius into five pieces!
"No!"
Harry roared, stopped retreating and was about to rush forward, but before he could take a step, he suddenly noticed the look in Sirius's eyes. There was indomitable determination in those gray eyes.
Roar!
Sirius roared at Harry again. Harry couldn't understand it, but he understood that Sirius didn't allow him to rush forward. He was ordering him to retreat.
Although Sirius and Professor Lupin had not finished everything before, looking at those firm eyes, at this moment, Harry finally believed that Sirius was innocent and that it was Lupine who killed his parents. Well, that mouse, that guy named Peter Pettigrew!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Except for Hagrid who was moving forward, Lupine and Snape both noticed the danger Sirius was facing. However, Greyback's entanglement prevented Lupine from taking his hand away. He could only watch helplessly. Staring at Sirius about to be torn apart.
And Snape's livid cheek twitched suddenly. No one knew what a complex psychological struggle he had gone through at this moment, and how much pain he had overcome. In short, he withdrew his wand and pointed it at Sirius, ready to help.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Just before Snape's wand fell, on the noisy battlefield, a sharp cry overwhelmed all the roars. Death waved his scythe, dwelling in the miserable green light, and suddenly came to Sirius's side. Overhead!
