Sirius protected Harry under his body, glaring around with extremely fierce eyes. The violent aura emanating from his body and his size that was better than that of ordinary werewolves did temporarily frighten the werewolves who tried to get closer, but this was only For a time, these ferocious dark creatures surrounded Sirius and Harry, trying to find flaws.
Harry, who was lying on the ground with his back facing the sky, looked at the big black dog so close and looked at the shocking wounds. He was speechless for a moment.
Snape was also at the end of his strength, but relying on the ferocious power of the black magic just now, the werewolf who was eager to try also did not dare to approach for the time being.
"Professor, what can I do for you?"
The lives of Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy now all depended on Snape. For the first time in his life, Ron actually began to pray for Snape in his heart, hoping that he could last longer, while Hermione took courage and trembled. asked Weiwei.
Snape was also slightly surprised by Hermione's concern. He lowered his head and looked deeply into Hermione's eyes filled with concern and tears. Then, he looked away as if he was burned, and his lips moved, but Nothing was said.
Greyback and Remus had already left the battlefield. Their battle was more like two rabid dogs. Wherever they passed, soil was splashed, blood was sprayed, and thick beech and pine trees were cut off by their roots. , looks like a typhoon raging.
And Hagrid still has several werewolves hanging on his body. If it weren't for his unique bloodline and extraordinary resistance to wolfsbane, Hagrid would not be able to escape tonight.
Everyone at Hogwarts couldn't help but feel despair in their hearts. There were too many werewolves, and they were unable to break through.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and a roar from one direction in the Forbidden Forest caught everyone's attention. It was a rhythmic and numerous kicking sound. Harry reacted the fastest. He rolled out from Sirius's belly, He exclaimed overjoyed,
"It's Firenze and the others!"
Harry was right. Those who came were none other than the elite warriors of the Centaur tribe, led by Firenze, Ronan and Bain. They stood on the outside of the battlefield, raised their hooves, and stared at the things hanging on the treetops, vines and The cruelly dead wolf corpse on the ground looked shocked.
"What's going on, Hagrid!"
Bain paused his hooves angrily and said sternly,
"I thought you were here to find the lost little wizard, but it turned out that you were at war with these despicable creatures in the centaurs' territory!"
"It's hard to explain, Bain!" Hagrid wiped the blood on his face and said breathlessly,
"Anyway, it's not Hogwarts that's causing trouble. Aren't you looking for trouble with werewolves? Why is Greyback targeting us?"
"Someone is deliberately misleading us——"
Firenze stared at the ugly werewolves in the outer circle with vigilance, and said with deep meaning,
"We found the lost tribesman, but it was not the werewolf who kidnapped him, but a stone that had been transformed. This was the wizard's method. We think this may be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, taking advantage of the elite warriors of the tribe. Go away and take the foal—"
Firenze's silver-maned horse's body glowed in the moonlight,
"We prepared to rush back to the tribe as fast as we could, but we heard some noise on the way."
More than twenty centaurs, about the same height as Hagrid and holding spears, stared at the werewolves unkindly, causing the wolves to stir uneasily.
"God bless--"
Ron, who was soaked with sweat, was finally able to speak. His face was pale, and the huge fear penetrated his inner defenses. He said with a smile and a cry,
"I thought we were dead. That's really lucky, isn't it?"
"Can't you see, Ron-"
Hermione gritted her teeth and said,
"Someone planned all this secretly, and we were all caught in a trap."
"You mean Madara. Oh, that Peter——"
Ron asked dully,
"But Black and Professor Lupin said he was the traitor who betrayed Harry's parents--"
Hermione was used to Ron's slowness, and while the werewolf was frightened, Harry supported the crumbling Sirius and came to Snape's side again.
Although there are only more than twenty centaurs, they are all elites in the tribe. The combat effectiveness of this group of experienced warriors is no less than that of the remaining wolves. Therefore, without Greyback Under direct orders, the werewolves did not dare to launch an attack rashly.
"Firenz——"
Harry wanted to say something eagerly, but Firenze, who avoided the surrounding werewolves and came to them, did not give Harry a chance to speak. He said calmly,
"It's time for you to go back to school, Harry Potter. Next, the battlefield belongs to the centaurs. We have endured these despicable dark creatures for long enough, and we just need to take this opportunity to drive them out of the Forbidden Forest."
"It's up to you!"
The moment Firenze's words fell, Greyback and the wolf-turned-Professor Lupine on the other side finally decided the winner. In the duel as a werewolf, Remus predictably failed. It was a shocking bite mark. In the most serious place, a piece of flesh and blood was even torn off.
Remus's head and two overly long arms were drooping, and no one was sure that Professor Lupine was still alive.
"You despicable mules are actually trying to drive us away!"
Greyback's canine teeth were dripping with blood. When he came, the werewolves quickly gathered behind him, staring at the tragic death of his compatriots in the forest. Every word that Greyback uttered was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Okay, okay, it's a heavy loss, isn't it, but it doesn't matter, werewolves have tenacious vitality, and we will be able to recover soon -"
Sirius shouted Remus' name angrily, Greyback smiled bloody, he grabbed the back of Remus's head and showed it to everyone like a trophy.
"Don't worry, guys, this despicable traitor is not dead yet. I still have a lot of things I want to talk to him about. However, tonight's news is indeed beyond expectations. If possible, I would like to invite you all to join us. Leave together, after all, we still need to negotiate with Old Man Dumbledore."
Sirius calmed down a little when he heard that Remus was not dead, but there was deep hatred in his eyes as he stared at Greyback.
Greyback's almost provocative words made the centaurs angry with their enemies. They clawed their hooves manically, just one order away from charging forward.
"We retreat—"
Caught off guard, Snape said coldly.
"Do you think I'm a coward, Snotlout? I won't abandon Remus!"
Sirius immediately turned his head and glared at Snape and said.
Harry doesn't want to retreat either. Like Sirius, he will never give up on Professor Lupin. Moreover, so far, Peter has no explanation!
But it wasn't that Harry didn't notice the crazy round of killing just now. He knew that he could do nothing but restrain the people who protected them. The same was true for Sirius. His face was as golden as paper and he had at least eight weapons on his body. The blood hole was still spurting out blood, which was left when he was fighting the wolves in his Animagus form.
"Motorcycles are coming!"
Snape raised his wand and shouted. A motorcycle not far away rose up from the ground, broke a few vines and stopped in front of them. Snape, who was already at the end of his strength, finished casting the spell. His body shook suddenly, and he looked about to collapse, but in the end, he resisted the feeling of fainting and said to Harry and the others in an unquestionable tone,
"Everyone get on board!"
No one had any objections to the stay of Harry and the other little wizards. Just like that, all the little guys were rushed into the car.
"You go back too, Sirius!"
Hagrid said to Sirius,
"Only you know how to use this car. I stay to help the centaurs drive away the werewolves and rescue Remus."
Of course Sirius, who had just mocked Snape as a coward, was unwilling to leave. However, Snape completely broke through his stubbornness with just one sentence.
"Idiot, are you going to make the same stupid decision as you did twelve years ago?"
