Sirius' eyes twitched fiercely. Letting Peter become the Potters' secret keeper was the most regretful thing he had ever done in his life, and it was Snape who wanted to stab his wound.
"Good luck, Harry Potter."
Firenze said this to Harry, and then the centaurs automatically formed a circle around the city and protected the motorcycles inside.
“I never thought I’d have the chance to ride this—”
Sirius had a complicated expression on his face. He stroked the buttons with unknown purpose on the dashboard and said lonelyly.
"Oh, are you going to leave just like that?"
Greyback looked at this scene with a cruel smile. Of course he would not let Sirius and several young wizards from Hogwarts go to Hogwarts to recruit reinforcements. Moreover, among these young wizards, there was also the famous Harry Potter, he was the most important trump card in negotiating with Dumbledore.
Greyback held Lupin's neck and shook his wrist as if showing off garbage. He sneered and said to Sirius,
"You are friends with this traitor, right? If you dare to escape, I will crush his throat!"
"Let Remus go, you despicable beast!"
Sirius' eyes were about to burst. He turned over and was about to get out of the car. At this moment, a clanging sound suddenly came from the air, and a bit of cold light left a sad silver shadow on everyone's retinas. Before anyone could react, Greyback suddenly covered his arm and cursed, taking a few steps back, and Lupine, who had transformed into a wolf, fell to the ground.
"Take them away quickly!"
After Hagrid threw away the crossbow in his hand and roared, he pounced on the eager wolves. Greyback obviously would not give up taking Lupine as a hostage. He wanted to take back Lupine, who had regained some consciousness after being thrown. It's okay, but the centaurs won't watch.
Whoosh!
The spears were like a hail of arrows, and each spear instantly crossed the distance and nailed Greyback's feet, forcing him to retreat continuously.
Lupine got up dizzily. He looked at it and knocked away a spear with his claws. Greyback, who showed his fierce look, whimpered a few times in fear. Then he found a direction and jumped in. In the unfathomable darkness, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Boom!
The two torrents of werewolves and centaurs collided together and made a thunderous roar. The sounds that hit my ears were full of angry roars, torn flesh and blood, and dying wails. Snape, who turned pale, was used again. With the magic he was good at, a leaping werewolf was dismembered in mid-air, and hot, torrential blood fell like raindrops.
Snape stared intently at Sirius, and Sirius also knew what Snape wanted to express. He glared unwillingly in the direction where Remus disappeared and yelled,
"Hold on, Remus, I'll bring someone to rescue you soon."
The roar of motorcycles suppressed the noise on the battlefield. Amidst the rumble, Greyback shouted angrily, "Stop them!"
Amidst the roaring waves, the exhaust pipe suddenly spurted out blue-white flames, and Hermione, who was sitting behind Sirius, let out a short, piercing scream.
The motorcycle suddenly raised its head, and by the time Harry reacted, they had already appeared thirty feet in the air, and were accelerating crazily in the direction of Hogwarts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
More than a dozen werewolves ran through the forest covered with vines and fell firmly behind the motorcycle. However, half a mile later, only one werewolf was still chasing. The werewolf suddenly jumped into the air, hooked a claw on the bracket under the sidecar, used its arms hard, and flew up onto the sidecar!
"Canridi Leviosa!"
Amid Ron's horrified screams, Harry raised his wand, and the lenses on the motorcycle's shattered rearview mirror flashed past the werewolf's arm reaching for Ron.
Roar!
The werewolf howled in pain and fell off the motorcycle, and his arms left his body forever.
Ron, who was trying to hold Malfoy up, was doused with blood. His eyes rolled up, and he fainted from the shock without saying a word. He collapsed in the sidecar like Malfoy.
"Well done, Harry!"
Sirius glanced at Harry and said appreciatively.
In response to Sirius's praise, Harry just pursed his lips. He looked at the broken arm of the werewolf in Ron's arms. The arm holding the wand was shaking uncontrollably, and his face was frighteningly blue. He heard that he and Sirius were sandwiched between him and Sirius. Hermione in the middle began to sob softly, but he had no words to comfort Hermione. He could only pat Hermione's thin shoulder in silence.
The explosions and flashes that sounded from time to time on the battlefield behind him were still clear. Harry turned his head and looked directly at the battlefield where he had escaped from death, his blood-stained cheek twitching slightly.
If the evil underground cave that Professor Brain took him to during last summer vacation made Harry understand that the wizarding world is not a fairy tale world, tonight, Harry really saw the cruelty of the battlefield - those The tragic death of the werewolf, and the missing Professor Lupin. In a daze, Harry remembered what Professor Blaine had taught the three of them.
Power is a very real thing that cannot be changed by personal will.
However, in the first grade, in the secret underground classroom of the castle, he had a duel with Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort. At that time, he had nothing but determination, but he thwarted Voldemort's attempt to take away the Sorcerer's Stone. The conspiracy, Quirrell couldn't even touch himself at that time.
At that time, Professor Dumbledore explained to himself that his mother's love left a mark on him. Being deeply loved by a person, even if the person who loved us has died, he will leave us an eternal memory. amulet.
Harry thought the mark was his scar at the time, but in fact it was not. Professor Dumbledore said it was invisible and hidden under the skin.
"Maybe only for Voldemort-"
Harry's muttering was carried away by the howling wind, and no one heard him.
Harry was running away, and he didn't notice that the motorcycle's flying trajectory was no longer as steady as it was at the beginning, but instead went up and down, like a stone floating on water.
"B-Mr. Black——"
Hermione's face was swept by a bunch of leaves, and she shed tears in pain. She saw Sirius's face through a lens embedded in the rearview mirror. It was a color even paler than snow. She suddenly came to her senses and borrowed the help of a mirror. Under the ominous red moon, Hermione discovered that Sirius's robe had been stained red with blood.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Like a person suddenly awakened from a nap, Sirius looked a little dazed, and his tone was a little surprised.
"Well, you, I mean, you look a little tired-"
Hermione said worriedly.
After staying in Azkaban for twelve years, the first wizard he came into contact with when he came out was Amosta Brain. Sirius had forgotten what it felt like to be respected. Hermione's respectful title made him feel... A little at a loss, and after a brief silence, Sirius smiled. He was about to say something, but his words were interrupted by a sudden roar in another direction a few miles away from them.
"what is that!"
The brutal battle just now made Harry's spirit highly tense, and he shouted loudly.
The roar sounded familiar to Harry, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard this sound.
"Whatever it is!"
Sirius said weakly, "We'd better avoid it now."
He turned the handle violently, and the motorcycle roared out. The oncoming wind blocked Harry's mouth. However, the rhythmic roar did not disappear, but was approaching at a disturbing speed. .
Now, Hogwarts Castle gradually grew taller in sight. Staring at the Silent Castle standing on the high ground, both Harry and Hermione subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an unreasonable sense of security in their hearts.
But before they could enjoy the joy of surviving the disaster, Sirius's head suddenly drooped, the motorcycle suddenly lost control, and plunged into the ground with a sudden force. At the same time, the blood moon in the sky disappeared. The coldness in the air is visible to the naked eye.
