334 ?Accident, accident, and accident
Karan and Regulus soon arrived near the Whomping Willow. It was now near dusk in the afternoon, and there were many students on the grounds in front of the castle. They could not walk into the tree hole of the Whomping Willow with much fanfare. , fortunately they had already put on an invisibility cloak.After a small stone lightly hit the knot on the tree trunk, the Whomping Willow fell into a state of quiet indifference, which allowed the two of them to easily re-enter the secret passage.
After crossing a slope, Karan took off his invisibility cloak. He raised his wand and said aloud: "Luminescent flash."
The light group receded the surrounding darkness, and Regulus did the same thing as Karan.
"How long are we going to practice?" Regulus only dared to complain in a low voice: "Tonight is a full moon night, what if someone comes over?"
"What are you afraid of?" Karan carefully jumped over a stone pit and said without looking back: "Remus will only go to Godric's Hollow, and no one from the Marauders will come. And I didn't plan to do it in the first place. Stay here as long as you want, and then go back when you have dinner.”
In Karan's view, whether it is human body transformation or magic gold coins, they are things that need to be completed as soon as possible.Once he learns the humanoid restoration spell, he may be able to help him cover up when Fenrir Greyback explicitly says Remus's name, thereby reducing the risk of Hogwarts being temporarily closed down, or perhaps Dumbledore's death. The possibility of Principal Lido being forced to leave the school.
As for the magic gold coins, there are still too few people who can use them. Apart from Karan, only Meadows and Aberforth may be able to cast the transformation spell, and no one else has the ability to do it. This is different from Double-faced It's really too different compared to the mirror.
Moreover, as Regulus is a spy among the Marauders, he can obtain Remus's movements at any time. For Karan, it is even more important for Regulus to learn the transformation spell.
"It's really troublesome." In the dark secret passage, Karan sighed softly. He inexplicably felt that he was getting more and more involved with Hogwarts.
Regulus nodded silently behind him - it was indeed quite troublesome. The exam was finally over, but he had to work as hard as he did during the review.
The two of them came to the Shrieking Shack as usual. Because people often came over, the place didn't get dirty. In addition, without the werewolf's continued destruction, the whole house became warm again.
"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus."
Karan taught this spell that is often used in becoming an Animagus. Regulus repeated it seriously. At the same time, Karan was constantly correcting his mistakes, so as not to really hurt Regulus. Si turned into a five-legged monster.
During the continuous practice, the time gradually approached dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the floor through the cracks in the window. Regulus had already exhausted his magic power. He sat on the sofa panting, completely gone. A decent look.
Karan put away his wand with satisfaction. Perhaps because he was born in a pure-blood family, Regulus's magical talent is not low even if he is only in the first grade, although he is still far from being able to learn more advanced transformation spells. , but at least it can make the magic gold coins glow.
"Very good." Karan said after the compliment: "You performed very well today. We will continue to practice tomorrow."
Regulus just wanted to cheer for joy, but after hearing the second half of Karan's words, he became depressed again, and could only muffled his mouth and said nothing.
Karan just wanted to continue to persuade him, but at this moment——
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Three consecutive explosions suddenly appeared near the Shrieking Shack. Regulus looked at Karan in confusion, but Karan suddenly frowned.
This sound was all too familiar to him - it was the sound that appeared when apparating.
Karan walked quietly to the window. He observed the fence outside the Screaming Shack through the gap - three figures in black robes suddenly appeared. They were observing the Screaming Shack, which has a reputation as a haunted house in the grass. Room.
"Is this your plan?" a figure asked. The decoration on his body was much more luxurious than the other two: "Is it just to visit this haunted house when you return to Hogsmeade?"
There was unabashed sarcasm in his tone, and the figure on the right immediately let out a threatening growl.
"Calm down, Chuck." The figure in the middle said in a cold and evil tone: "It's not the time yet."
Chuck is the second-in-command among the werewolves - this is something Callan noticed at Professor Kettleburn's house. He did not expect that the other party would appear here, nor did he expect that the voice of the figure in the middle would be so familiar to him. ——Fenrir Greyback, the infamous werewolf!
Fenrir turned to look at the gorgeously dressed figure and continued: "During the time when I was caught, I pretended to be unconscious, so I overheard a lot of things - this is not a haunted house, but It’s a safe house where werewolves transform into each other on full moon nights. The so-called scary screams are just the howls of werewolves, I can still tell that.”
"As for you, Dolohov, I remember that your mission is only to assist us, not to cause trouble. If you have any objections, you should have spoken to the Dark Lord earlier, instead of hindering us from getting credit now. "
Chuck laughed heartily twice, and Dolohov snorted dissatisfied under Greyback's threat: "Then execute the plan quickly, I don't want to be with a bunch of werewolves on a full moon night. "
The three of them walked towards the Screaming Shack. Karan slowly backed away, and a lot of news flashed through his mind - Greyback overheard the secrets of the Screaming Shack, so this time they were trying to catch him. Came to catch Remus?Or are they aware that there is a secret passage leading to Hogwarts?
Regulus on the sofa had already stood up uneasily. He took out his wand with a pale face and pointed it in the direction of the wall - no matter how tired and slow he was, he could still understand that an unimaginable accident was quietly happening.
But Karan quickly dragged Regulus back into the secret passage.
"You go back to the castle first and... go inform the professors in the school." Karan lied deliberately. With the magic gold coins, he can definitely deliver the news much faster than Regulus. .But Regulus has now exhausted all his mana in the training process just now, and there is no use in leaving him here.
Regulus hadn't figured out what was going on for a moment. He even forgot about Karan's magic gold coins, but subconsciously grabbed Karan's arm: "What about you? We have to escape together. !”
Karan threw away Regulus's hands. He pushed Regulus into the secret passage. He did not answer the other party's question, but warned: "Remember not to use the lighting spell, otherwise they might find you." .Now, go quickly!”
The footsteps were gradually approaching the Shrieking Shack. Regulus could even hear the three people outside the house searching for the door of the sealed house. He understood that no matter what Karan wanted to do, he who had exhausted all his mana would Staying here will only drag Karan down.So after pressing his lips hard, Regulus reluctantly walked into the secret passage.
Karan silently watched the figure of Regulus who was swallowed by the darkness. He slowly turned around, first put the invisibility cloak on himself, and then without hesitation took out the elder wand from his pocket and placed it on He squeezed it hard in the palm of his hand.
【There are only three people. 】
He said silently in his heart.
[A Death Eater, plus two werewolves. He is also hidden in the invisibility cloak. Tonight is a rare full moon. The humanoid restoration spell... finally has a chance to test it. 】
[There are only three people...]
The time spent traveling back and forth in the secret passage will not be short, and Karan has enough time to convey more news to Regulus through magic gold coins - for example, asking him to tell the professor less about one werewolf.
[What a rare opportunity. It would be nice if there were only so few people in Professor Kettleburn's house that time. 】
Under the invisibility cloak, Callan quietly cast several descaling spells on himself, not forgetting how clever Chuck's nose was.
At the same time, people outside finally discovered that the house had no door at all, and all entrances were boarded up.
"What a strenuous effort!"
Chuck raised his wand impatiently, pointed it at a blocked window and chanted a spell, which caused the boards to explode immediately.
"Be careful!" Dolohov scolded: "Do you want us to be discovered by the patrolling Aurors?"
Fenrir Greyback stood awe-inspiring between the two of them. He said in a low and cruel tone: "It's not your turn to blame my men yet."
Dolokhov spat unbearably. He cursed and swept away the wooden thorns on the window, and was the first to get in the window.
After all three people came in, they looked at the layout of the room. Chuck sniffed his nose twice: "I can smell it. There are indeed many attractive fragrances here."
"Many?" Dolokhov asked warily: "What does this mean?"
"It means we have to hurry up." Fenrir coldly ignored the topic: "Or are you really planning to join us tonight?"
The mask on Dolokhov's face was oozing with gloom. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then you should find the secret passage quickly instead of wasting time with me here!"
【Secret passages? 】
Under the invisibility cloak, Karan narrowed his eyes slightly - did the werewolf already know the existence of the secret passage?This is not good news. It can even replace the role of the unknown disappearing cabinet at any time. How careless was Principal Dumbledore when he interrogated Greyback.
The secret passage entrance in the Shrieking Shack is not that conspicuous. It blends in well with the surrounding furniture. At first glance, you will just think that it is a fireplace. Otherwise, if it is too obvious, it will transform into a werewolf. Instead, Remus had the chance to run back into the castle at any time.
The three of them quickly started searching in the living room on the first floor. Chuck roughly pushed open a cabinet door, Dolohov forcefully opened a sofa, and Greyback silently walked toward the secret passage. Go to the entrance here.
Perhaps because they were not marked with the Dark Mark, the werewolves did not wear Death Eater masks. Greyback's ferocious face looked at the arrangements around the fireplace, and then peered into the darkness.
The tip of a cold staff suddenly touched his forehead.
Greyback's eyes widened inexplicably, and he seemed to want to open his mouth and shout.
"Fainted." Karan stopped the other party's words in time.
After a spell, Greyback suddenly fell into the ashes. The heavy sound startled the two people who were searching. Chuck and Dolohov immediately turned around to look warily, but Callan was already in jail. Memorize the position where they stood.
"Passed out."
"Passed out."
Dolohov fell down as soon as he raised his wand, and Chuck fainted before he could even hold the wand firmly.
Karan stood up from the secret passage. The battle was shorter than he expected. Now it seems that taking out the elder wand seems a bit fussy.
He slowly took off his invisibility cloak, first used his wand to repair the damaged window, and then looked down at the three people lying on the ground.
Karan's eyes narrowed even more.
He really wanted to keep both werewolves, but how to hide them was a big problem. An invisibility cloak alone could not cover so many huge figures, and the hiding place he expected was Hogsmeade Village. My house is also far away from here, and transportation is also a problem.
In the dark living room, three tall figures fell to the ground crookedly, losing all consciousness.The only tall child standing let out a breathtaking chuckle.
"It's really a happy trouble."
Karan tossed a magic gold coin casually and said inhumane words with a smile.
Professor Lear, who suddenly emerged from the secret passage, witnessed this scene with his own eyes.
Karan slowly moved his gaze over and frowned slightly.
What's going on here?
Professor Lear was holding the wand in his hand. He stared at Karan warily, recognizing that this was his student.And when he saw clearly the three figures lying on their backs on the ground, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Where's Regulus?" Karan asked suddenly, while quietly moving the tip of his wand over.
Judging from the time, Professor Lear who had just arrived must have met Regulus who had just walked out.It’s just that Karan can’t figure out why Professor Lear appears here?Is it for Remus?Didn't Dumbledore inform Professor Lear about this father when he moved the location of Remus's transformation?
[Maybe I have to cast the forgetting spell again. 】
Karan thought silently in his heart, and the tip of the staff was still lifted up inadvertently.
Professor Lear had heard from Remus about some of Kahlan's deeds in the secret room, and he had also deliberately noticed this student, but in his opinion Kahlan had never done anything outstanding, even at the end. The same is true in the exam.Karan is just a student who loves to listen to classes - especially in courses related to non-existence, and his attitude towards learning is even more serious.
Now, the familiar student was speaking to him in an unfamiliar tone. Professor Leer couldn't help but become wary. He also pointed his wand at Karan and said at the same time: "Regulus is still rushing to the castle."
Karan's frown deepened - it seems that Professor Lear is very tolerant of students who violate school rules, so should he pretend to be nonchalant and fool him, and then take the opportunity to add a forgetting spell?
Before Karan could think of a countermeasure, Professor Leer suddenly asked anxiously: "Did anyone say anything to you?"
"What?" Karan was stunned: "Should I hear something? From the mouths of Death Eaters and werewolves?"
Professor Lear nodded hesitantly, still wondering what was going on.
But time is running out.
In an instant!A series of explosions appeared one after another in the living room, and then the place was filled with inexplicable black figures - all of them were wearing black witch robes, and Karan was even squeezed and staggered - in all directions around him They are all people, and these people are all Death Eaters and smelly werewolves!
The dizziness caused by the teleportation has not disappeared yet, and Karan stood up with chills all over his body. One of the werewolves subconsciously put his palm on Karan's shoulder to support him.
Professor Lear stared at this scene in stunned silence, but someone had already discovered the Forerunner lying on the ground.
"Greyback? Is this Greyback? Why did he faint?"
"Chuck! Chuck where are you?"
"Everyone is quiet. There seems to be a short man among us! Has anyone brought the wolf cub in?"
The person who spoke was the werewolf who was supporting Karan. Many people had looked over, but Karan had already used wandless magic to control the invisibility cloak on himself when he staggered, but he still didn't. No way to move, the route leading to the secret passage has long been blocked by more werewolves.
At the same time, someone finally realized the existence of Professor Lear.
"Who are you?!" a werewolf asked fiercely, and the people next to him raised their wands in unison.
"Dolokhov?"
At this time, a female Death Eater finally found Dolohov lying on the ground, and another male Death Eater also squeezed over.
"Bella, what is going on?" the male Death Eater asked in a panic, "Is the plan exposed?"
Before Bellatrix could answer, there was a sudden sound from outside the house, and then the entire wall of the Shrieking Shack was exploded, revealing dozens of figures from the dust.
Headed by Moody, Kingsley, Ted, Andromeda, the Prewett brothers, and even the current owner of the Pig Head Bar - Effias Dorje, and many guys whom Karan didn't know.
"The number is staggering!" Moody raised his wand in a rough voice, but Bellatrix finally reacted at this moment.
"A trap! This is a trap!"
She said and took out something from the pocket of the unconscious Dolokhov, which was a fishing net sprinkled with unknown powder. The next second the fishing net opened, all the powder was scattered into the air, and the fishing net covered nearly half of the room. people were enveloped in it.
"Put the master's plan first!" Bellatrix broke free from the male Death Eater and chanted the spell aloud.
The fishing net suddenly trembled, and Moody subconsciously wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Only Professor Lear, who was in the living room, subconsciously grabbed the edge of the fishing net.
The next second, the fishing net disappeared from the air, taking with it all three Death Eaters and many werewolves, as well as the unknown accident of Professor Lear.
"Portkey again...what the hell is this?"
Moody roughly slapped his arms back and forth, shaking off the powder on his sleeves, and knocked down one of the remaining werewolves in one fell swoop.
"Deal with them first, and at the same time send some people to find Lear! And where is Albus? Why hasn't he come over yet?!"
"Wait a minute, Moody!" Kingsley suddenly grabbed Moody who was still rushing into the house: "Look at them, something is wrong!"
At dusk, all the werewolves suddenly stopped. Unknown powder stuck to their bodies, rough hair gradually came out, and their heads deformed little by little!
"Damn!"
Moody's expression immediately became much more vigilant: "It's not night yet, why are these werewolves transforming?"
No one could give him the answer, only Ted suddenly muttered: "Oops..."
"Will the werewolf next to Professor Lear... also transform in advance?"
