336 Spy, Baiget, Awakening
Basilisk sheds its skin?
Under the invisibility cloak, Karan was shocked - he suddenly figured out why the portkey was set up to look like a huge fishing net, and also had the ability to transfer objects: it was to allow the three Death Eaters to shed the huge basilisk. Secret room!
But why would Voldemort do this?Last time, he ignored the basilisk's shedding and only wanted to get the treasure parchment protected in the statue...
Treasure Parchment...
Is it because of this?Does it record the method of making the Marauder's Map?Voldemort didn't figure out until now that the most important raw material was the basilisk's shed skin?
Needless to say, the power of the Marauder's Map is natural. If Voldemort gets this item, he can keep track of everyone's movements in the castle at any time. Fortunately, Karan has already obtained the Marauder's Map in the Forbidden Lake ruins. , even the basilisk shed its skin and was taken out of the secret room early by him and Gasper by chance.
This time, the three Death Eaters were destined to return in vain and would only receive severe punishment from Voldemort!
Just as Karan was sorting out all this, Dolokhov retorted angrily: "What are you crazy about? I have been pursuing the master earlier than every one of you, and you dare to doubt me now? I haven't yet I’m blaming you two new guys!”
But Bellatrix had already gone crazy, and the urgency of not being able to complete Voldemort's mission made her lose all rationality.
"We searched the entire secret room but couldn't find the basilisk's shed skin! Dumbledore must have learned the news in advance and hid the shed skin!"
"Say it!"
The tip of Bellatrix's wand was already sparkling, reflecting her face, which was twisted with madness.
"Where the hell is the molt?!"
Rodolphus sided with his "wife" without hesitation. Compared with Dolohov, who was becoming increasingly uncomfortable, he naturally believed more in Bellatrix, an old classmate, let alone his plan this time. The two of them were always together, and Bellatrix had no chance to secretly contact Dumbledore!
Dolohov's expression became increasingly ugly. He simply raised his wand and silently confronted the two of them.
"You are making an unforgivable mistake." He warned in a low tone: "I advise you to stop as soon as possible, so as not to really attract punishment from the master..."
Before he could say anything, a cry suddenly rang out in the darkness: "Fall out!"
A spell emerged from the air and struck directly at Bellatrix. However, this sneak attack did not achieve much results. The three people in the field were already full of vigilance. Bellatrix casually said He resisted this inexplicable attack.
Under the invisibility cloak, Professor Lear looked at Karan in shock, but after Karan glanced at him, Professor Lear seemed to suddenly understand. He nodded appreciatively, and then did not hesitate. of stepping out of the invisibility cloak.
"Dolokhov, let me help you!"
He shouted: "Don't waste time with them here. We must deal with them as soon as possible before the werewolves come after us, otherwise none of us will be able to leave!"
The three of them immediately recognized Professor Lear, the uninvited guest. The expressions of Bellatrix and Rodolphus became increasingly angry, while Dolohov's expression darkened visibly.
But Professor Lear didn't intend to give them any more time to think: "The werewolf is coming soon, what are you waiting for?!"
"All petrochemical!"
This spell triggered the battle. Bellatrix quickly avoided the attack from Professor Lear, and Dolohov took the opportunity to shoot a black magic spell, but was immediately blocked by Rodolphus.
"It is indeed you!" Rodolphus said through gritted teeth.
Dolokhov didn't say a word, but shouted with a gloomy face: "Heart-breaking!"
Spells were shot out quickly in the field, and the four people were divided into two sides and engaged in a fierce duel. Each of them was very good at this, and the battle was a bit stalemate for a while.
Under the invisibility cloak, Karan quietly retreated to the edge of the wall. He silently waited for the opportunity to take action, and at the same time felt a faint headache.
[Professor Leer really doesn’t know how to disguise. How could he call out Dolokhov’s name directly? ! 】
Karan has long understood that this attack on Hogwarts was planned by both sides, and Dumbledore obviously had the best move and planted spies on the opposite side early, so he was in the screaming booth in advance. House set up an ambush.
As for the identity of the spy?
Callan immediately thought of Dorcas Meadows.
While accompanying Mundungus to buy mature mandrakes on the black market during the Christmas holidays, Meadows happened to encounter a werewolf riot that attacked the store. During the pursuit, she also discovered that a Death Eater was contacting werewolves. .
Although Meadows didn’t know where he went after that because Antioch, the blue phoenix, no longer grew up, maybe the problem had been solved long ago, and Meadows had never been the kind of person who would be obedient. Maybe it was her. After successfully finding Dolohov, he or others in the Order of the Phoenix banned him, thus learning the plan to attack Hogwarts.
Karan took a deep look in the direction of Dolohov - if he guessed correctly, Dolohov's true identity now is a Death Eater who has been replaced by members of the Order of the Phoenix.
As the battle continued, the sound inevitably spread far away, and Karan had already heard the howling of the werewolf getting closer and closer in the corridor.
【Can’t wait any longer! 】
Callan moved secretly under the invisibility cloak, but at this moment, Bellatrix suddenly asked Rodolphus: "Did you just see how this guy came out?"
Rodolphus frowned: "No, but I remember that when we first arrived at the Shrieking Shack, a werewolf shouted if someone had brought wolf cubs in... But we never saw that person. Where is the wolf cub? Could it be Professor Flitwick from Ravenclaw House? He has always been short..."
"It can't be him!" Bellatrix shouted while dodging: "It's probably a student! Remember the person who stopped the master's plan last time? Callan Sangster? It seems to be The name, and it's very possible that he also has an invisibility..."
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
Inexplicable fireballs appeared out of thin air. Knowing that his reputation had spread, Karan could no longer hold back and blew up the stone slabs on the ground!
The powerful magic talent gave the explosion curse great power. Bellatrix and Rodolphus cast the iron armor spell together, but they were still shaken up by the waves!
"Damn!"
Bellatrix's face was covered with dust. She vaguely saw Karan's position, but in the next second, the invisibility cloak automatically wrapped itself around him again, hiding silently in the darkness again.
"Is this just a student?" Rodolphus asked in horror: "He almost killed our students?"
It was not just them who were shocked, even Professor Dolohov and Professor Lille couldn't help but paused with pale faces.
But at this moment, the howling of werewolves seemed to fill the entire front hall at once - dozens of werewolves with claws and fangs leaped out of the darkness and successfully chased after them following the alluring scent!
"Quick fight!"
Professor Lear suddenly shouted. He took out a matchbox from his pocket and threw it into the corridor without looking.
Karan's heart was frightened. He no longer cared about revealing his position. He pointed at Rodolphus and Bellatrix with the elder wand, and cast multiple spells in an instant, even covering the entire front hall. They all shine brightly!
In this light, Bellatrix hid behind Rodolphus in panic. The failure of the mission and the powerful explosion spell made her understand that she must not stay here longer.
Rodolphus turned around in fear and asked: "Bella, what should we do..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Bellatrix hiding further and further while taking out the fishing net that had been put away earlier.
"Hold them!" Bellatrix shouted loudly, and then she ignored the surprise on Rodolphus's face and recited another spell directly on the door key.
As the space distorted, Bellatrix's figure completely disappeared.
"Bella...you!"
"Passed out!"
Karan took the opportunity to attack Rodolphus. Before the opponent could recover from Bellatrix's solo escape, his figure was hit by a spell and he fell powerless.
When Karan looked in the direction of the corridor again, he found that a dark shadow had appeared there, even deeper than the darkness.And in the middle of the black shadow is a pair of glowing white eyes - this is the White Gett that Professor Lear once talked about in class!The matchbox that previously carried Baigete was still left on the ground!
The werewolves stayed crowded in the corridor. They seemed to be a little afraid of Baiget's existence and did not dare to approach deliberately, but they refused to let go of the delicious four people in the front hall.
"Don't go there!"
Professor Lear suddenly reminded: "Don't influence Baiget, let alone get close to it, otherwise it may not be able to stop the werewolf after it transforms again!"
Karan turned his head, and Professor Lear was also staring at him with complicated eyes.
"It turns out that not only the rumors related to the secret room are true," Professor Lear said with emotion: "Even the three people in the screaming shack were all solved by you. Fortunately, I didn't hesitate and shouted "Quick". Let's fight quickly, you really didn't disappoint me, I will definitely give you a perfect score when we get back safely!"
Karan opened his mouth. He was about to subconsciously shirk it, but suddenly he thought that Bellatrix already knew about his existence from the Chamber of Secrets incident.
"Thank you very much, Professor." He said helplessly, and Professor Lear blinked in confusion.
Karan did not respond to Professor Lear's confusion. He turned around and suddenly found that Dolokhov had passed out like Rodolphus and was lying on the cold stone slab next to Professor Lear.
"What's going on?" Karan asked doubtfully. He had just held off Bellatrix and Rodolphus.
"Are you asking Bagette?" Professor Leer was wrong, and he subconsciously began to teach Karan: "If you want to say why, maybe it's because the werewolves have become the same existence after transformation - - going crazy and losing all their sanity, but this turned their fear into the same thing, which allowed Baiget to affect all of them alone. But this is just my guess, I didn’t expect Baiget to be so powerful. This is not a good sign. After all, it is a mysterious non-existence. If it continues to absorb fear and become stronger..."
"That's not the case, professor." Karan walked over doubtfully. He looked at Professor Leer who was conjuring ropes to tie up Dolokhov and Rodolphus, and asked him again: "Who am I? I’m asking, what are you doing?”
"Of course it's to prevent them from running away after waking up." Professor Lear said matter-of-factly, and then he smiled at Karan: "Oh, I forgot to mention, your reaction just now was really fast. If he could think of using tricks to win Dolokhov to our side, I guess he was not able to do so because he saw the reactions of the two people on the other side, or because there was some conflict between them."
"In short, after I noticed that the werewolves were gradually pursuing me, I immediately attacked Dolohov. Your contribution this time is not small. I can never deal with three Death Eaters by myself."
Karan was completely stunned.
"Isn't Dolokhov a spy?" he asked with a frown: "Isn't it that he has been secretly passing on news to you?"
After repeatedly casting several spells on the rope, Professor Lear turned to look at Karan: "It seems that you know a lot, but Dolohov is not a spy. He is indeed a Death Eater, but he was Dumb companions are a drag.”
Karan was still staring at him in confusion. Perhaps because of Karan's heroic performance, Professor Leer decided to continue explaining after staring at Baiget worriedly for a while: "Spies do exist, but they are not wizards. But werewolves.”
"Fenrir Greyback, he is the hidden spy."
"What?" Karan's frown deepened: "But how could he...?"
How could Fenrir Greyback surrender to Dumbledore?What's more, he was the one who bit Remus!
Professor Lear suddenly changed his expression, and he said seriously: "I know that your magic talent is very strong. Don't accidentally hurt him for a while. It's not difficult to identify. The tallest werewolf is Greyback!"
"Okay, it's time to be careful, hide behind me, quickly!"
The atmosphere in the front hall took a turn for the worse, and Karan looked in the direction where Professor Lear was staring without knowing why - the irrational werewolf had long lost the ability to think, and the fear he absorbed unscrupulously made the shadow of Baiget grow larger. The white eyes gradually became brighter.
"What's wrong with Bagette, professor?" Karan had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Do you still remember what I said in class?" Professor Leer said with a gloomy face: "Non-existence will also grow. Baiget hasn't absorbed a lot of fear nutrients like this for a long time. Maybe... it It will soon lose control and gradually turn into the true form of the Boggart!"
"This is really not a suitable opportunity..." Professor Lear stared at the temporarily blocked werewolves with vigilance: "If it were another time, I might be able to write a new article, but now... ....."
That's too late!
Before Professor Lear finished speaking, it was already too late!
In the sight of the two of them, Baiget's dark body suddenly stopped expanding. Instead, it gradually began to condense toward the middle, and finally turned into a figure wearing a black robe!
"More terrifying than Dementors..." Professor Lear whispered. Feeling the inexplicable change in the atmosphere in the front hall, he pushed Karan behind him.
However, Karan just stared at this scene blankly - was the Boggart in the Forbidden Lake ruins also formed in this way?If that Boggart continues to grow...
The figure of Baiget stood silently between the werewolf and the wizard. It turned its back to Karan and the two, but the werewolves in front of it were whimpering inexplicably out of fear.
This is unbelievable!Werewolves can be so scared!
suddenly!
Baigete slowly turned around. There was no clear face under the hood, but only a pair of white glowing eyes.
It aimed its sights at Professor Lear...Karan behind him!
"Are you going to attack, Professor?" Karan's uneasiness deepened. He suddenly realized that Slytherin's research was really protecting Hogwarts - at least the special Boggarts in the ruins of the Forbidden Lake were not in front of him. Baiget looks so dangerous!
And perhaps it was because he had personally come into contact with a special Boggart that he let himself be targeted by the other party!
"Don't!" Professor Lear stopped him immediately. Years of research on non-existences have kept him alert to such mysterious dangers, not to mention there are a bunch of werewolves waiting for them.
Perhaps because Professor Leer's choice was really correct, Baiget did not approach the two of them. Instead, after staring at Callan for a while, he suddenly turned into a black smoke and flew straight to the wall above his head. It disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"We seem to have witnessed something extraordinary, Professor." Karan gripped the elder wand in his hand tighter: "We even let the danger go..."
"There will be plenty of time to deal with Baiget in the future. I will find it." Professor Lear whispered, and he also raised his wand: "If we can survive this time!"
The fear is finally gone!
The werewolves suddenly realized this, and the tempting delicious food was waiting for them!
Accompanied by frightening roars, the werewolves rushed into the front hall one after another. The tallest figure among them was faster than all the werewolves. It seemed that it couldn't wait to bite these two guys to death!
Karan noticed this immediately and realized that it was Fenrir Greyback!
"You said Greyback was a spy, professor?" Karan suddenly shouted and asked.
"That's right!" Professor Lear had already begun to shoot spells, hitting the approaching werewolf, but this had little effect.
"Thunderbolt explosion!"
Karan once again cast an explosion spell, which immediately blew up the floor and the werewolves, blocking Greyback and the other werewolves who rushed in first.
"Find a way to knock out Greyback, quickly! Professor!" he shouted.
The wand in Professor Lear's hand paused for a moment. At this particularly critical moment, he chose to believe Karan and put all his attention on Greyback!
"Dizzy! Dizzy!"
The transformed werewolf is naturally resistant to curses. The multiple attacks only made Greyback stagger a few times. But after Karan tried his best to use the explosive spell to drive away the other werewolves, he also Join Professor Lear's attack!
"Passed out!"
"Passed out!"
Just like the time when James and Sirius were in the Forbidden Forest, the same spells combined to produce greater power. Greyback suddenly fell into a coma while running forward, his body due to inertia. He fell towards the two of them.
"Get him!" Karan continued, "We need help!"
Incited by the inexplicable words, Professor Lear subconsciously summoned Greyback's body with a wand, and then Karan immediately cast a spell: "Iron Armor Protection!"
The hemispherical invisible barrier enveloped the two conscious people and the three unconscious people. Professor Lear immediately stopped attacking to avoid destroying the Iron Armor Curse from the inside.
"This won't last long!" Professor Lear shouted, but he still cast the iron armor spell to maintain the barrier even stronger.
"I know." Karan frowned and stared at the ferocious-looking werewolf in front of him: "But I remember that he rushed over the fastest just now, and werewolves always like to attack former acquaintances. He knows us, and we Need help!"
Under Professor Leer's anxious gaze, Karan took a deep breath, pointed the elder wand at the werewolf's head, and then whispered: "Veriz."
The spell immediately hit the werewolf's body, and the werewolf's head changed little by little. Under this unprecedented miracle, Professor Lear seemed to see all hope!
"This is... a humanoid restoration spell?" He murmured in disbelief: "But how is this possible... I have tried it a long time ago, and it is ineffective against werewolves. ....."
Karan did not respond to Professor Lear's surprise. The moment he held his breath and cast the humanoid restoration spell, a ray of moonlight inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes.
The moonlight struck Karan, covering his whole body.However, there was no peaceful atmosphere in this moonlight. Karan felt something strange about himself inexplicably - crazy, losing his mind, and wanting to attack everyone around him, especially Professor Lear who was struggling to support the Iron Armor Curse!
[Is this the so-called price?The price of restoring a werewolf to his true form?Even if I have never been bitten by a werewolf, will I still be affected by the curse? 】
A seemingly terrible curse struck Karan. In the increasingly full moonlight, Karan seemed to realize that a figure was silently watching him.
But he is a born closed-minded person!
In the blink of an eye, even just because of Karan's thought, all the illusions were shattered like glass. The figure seemed to want to contact Karan at the last moment, but disappeared along with the moonlight.
When Karan came to his senses, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat - the cost of casting a humanoid spell on a werewolf was even greater than he imagined.
Now that he was back in the dark front hall, the werewolves gathered around the invisible barrier and attacked frantically. Professor Lear subconsciously cast the iron armor spell, but his mind was entirely focused on Karan.
"Incredible miracle..." he murmured under his breath.
Karan stretched out his hand to wipe away his sweat. He looked down at the familiar mutilated figure on the ground.
The other party seemed to be trapped in an illusion.
The always impulsive old man opened his eyes slightly, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"Qiqi, my child..."
Professor Kettleburn said.
