Chapter 128 Dangerous Situation, Broken Situation
When Professor McGonagall was awakened from his sweet dream, he was very annoyed.
She's been busy with the new Transfiguration structure and adjusting the curriculum for this group of students who can't keep up with previous years, and she hasn't had a good night's sleep in a while.Finally decided to make a bad day today.Get a good night's sleep.As a result, as soon as he fell asleep, he was called up.
That damned guy who was making trouble in the Forbidden Forest, couldn't it be sooner?Can't it be a day late?Why should it be now? !
Snape, who came to call her, originally wanted to say a few words, but now he tightly closed his mouth.
There were a lot of people who hit the gun, even Snape was one of them, but because of this, he swore that he would never make such a mistake again.
Of course, except for the deliberate minefield disco.
The two moved quickly, and the four deans had already got up from the bed. According to the original plan, Professor Snape and McGonagall went to help, while Professor Spratt and Professor Flitwick were in charge. Nursing students.In case the other party makes a fuss.
The two moved quickly, and they reached the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest in a short while.
And soon, the sound of dog barking and footsteps appeared in the ears of the two.
Snape stopped in his tracks suddenly, his head instantly turned to where the footsteps came from, and after looking around, he shouted loudly to Professor McGonagall who had already thrown him some distance away: "Minerva ! Go to the Black Lake! He wants to use the Black Lake to cover up his aura!"
Professor McGonagall moved her ears, and then adjusted her direction without hesitation. The two of them were riding brooms, and it would definitely not be difficult to block each other.
Even Professor McGonagall still had time to tidy up his hat when he was blocking people.Although my heart is filled with anger, I still have to maintain the elegance that a great wizard should have!
Luke saw the emotional dust of Professor McGonagall and Snape from a distance, and naturally discovered their obviously abnormal moving speed.
"Using a vehicle..."
Luke was very tired, and then silently inspired the Slytherin wand, entering the serpentine mode.He didn't know if the side effects of this time would reveal himself later, but if he didn't turn into a snake and run away now, there would be no future.
After becoming a snake, his physical fitness has been further strengthened, and the speed of the acceleration spell has also increased again.It even surpassed the speed of the broom in a short time.
Yaya naturally discovered this problem, and suddenly, the other party gave him an abnormal sense of oppression, and by the way, the speed has far surpassed him.So it started barking hoarsely.The speed on the feet slowed down accordingly.
Originally, it couldn't catch up, so now it simply expresses that the other party has increased its speed, and then it can relax.You can't really expect it to catch up.That would kill the dog.
Hagrid heard the change in Fang's voice, and then shouted loudly: "Professor! The other party has sped up!"
Professor McGonagall and Snape had no time to respond to him now.They are not stupid, the sound of footsteps gradually moving away from their ears is enough to show that the other party is gradually distanced from them.
If the other party is really allowed to get into the black lake, it will be really difficult to investigate.
Both Snape and Professor McGonagall consciously increased their speed. Professor McGonagall was indeed a former member of the Quidditch school team. After she got serious, her speed even gradually caught up with Luke's.And not long after, he began to slowly draw closer to Luke.
Luke is human after all.Even with the strengthening of the snake, it is impossible for him to run with unlimited physical strength.
Unlike Fang Ya, Luke still maintained the full speed he recognized when he felt his lungs were first burned.He is running as hard as he can.But that doesn't mean he can beat his body.The speed drop is inevitable.
"It seems that next time you go out, you still have to bring a broom."
Luke said with a self-deprecating smile.
However, after the voice was changed by the mask, it became a hoarse and evil tone with some mocking tone.
So all he got in exchange was a cold snort from Professor McGonagall, and another acceleration.
Luke wanted to slap himself on the mouth.But now is not the time.
He is annoyed here.Professor McGonagall was genuinely surprised.Racing against broomsticks is a joke that even schoolchildren in the wizarding world can't use.
But now, the joke became reality before Professor McGonagall's eyes.
Although the annoyance in Professor McGonagall's heart is still there, his emotions have gradually calmed down, his head is more clear-headed, and he is more vigilant about the running figure not far ahead.This speed alone is enough to overwhelm many wizards.
Professor McGonagall is now speeding up as much as possible, and he doesn't even have the energy to use magic to block the people in front of him.So the chase turned into a chase.
And this, after all, stopped not far from the Black Lake.
Luke glimpsed a black shadow out of the corner of his eye, and the next moment, he saw Professor McGonagall's skilled drifting operation. With this broom technique, Professor McGonagall should be able to pass the Quidditch pitch. All-powerful.It feels a little stronger than Harry.
"Stop!"
Professor McGonagall raised his wand, facing the other's chest, the tip of the wand shone with red light.
Luke looked at Professor McGonagall, who was about to cross the knife, and the Black Lake, which was close at hand, and finally stopped.
Professor McGonagall's strength is definitely not something he can resist now.Even if it is a snake.
The increase in strength given to him by snake transformation also depends on his original strength.The stronger the original strength, the more magic power it can withstand, and the greater the natural increase.
"Your response was so quick that I wondered if someone had set a trap for me in advance."
Luke looked at Professor McGonagall and said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall didn't respond, as she had seen many times.But choosing to stop the opponent is to be wary of the opponent's strength.So the other party is willing to delay the time and she is also willing.
Both Severus and Hagrid were rushing over as fast as they could.In short, it is at least a three-on-one situation, and the advantage is mine!
"It's pointless for you to say such things."
Professor McGonagall held up his wand, and said without letting up his vigilance at all: "If you really want to talk, then give up resistance and take off your mask. I can use my reputation to guarantee your safety. Of course, the premise is that you really Things that are not human and damage the interests of our Hogwarts."
Luke feels that in all fairness, although he is a student of the school, he is indeed helping the school to improve. Luke's self-conscious role can be compared with several deans, and he naturally did nothing to harm the interests of the school.But now take off the mask and give Professor McGonagall a big surprise?Isn't that pure bullshit?Professor McGonagall's favorability has not reached this level yet.Professor McGonagall is an elder, but he is not yet his own person who can fight together.
"Don't be kidding, ma'am," the snake-faced man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that when you see my face, you won't be willing to be rough on me."
Luke thinks he is telling the truth, but if he speaks like this, he can easily separate the 'snake-faced man' and 'Luke Gunter'.In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, the current snake-faced man is probably just a middle-aged and greasy man.
Professor McGonagall frowned, but there was no greater reaction.Such words have been heard too much in the life-and-death battle back then, and such words are far from being powerful trash talk.
"Then you can try it. I think it's a good thing that I don't want to be rough on you."
Professor McGonagall's tone remained calm.And the calmer she was, the harder it was for Luke.It’s impossible not to stop, if you stop, you can still make two-handed preparations.
But one of the options, the price is too great.So he chose to gamble big here.
"Forget it, I don't want others to only pay attention to my appearance."
Luke let out that hoarse, evil laugh, but it wasn't ugly.
The two of them hadn't spoken a few words before Snape arrived here.
Stepping out of the woods, Snape walked towards the lake with his wand raised.
Unlike Professor McGonagall, the wand in his hand shone with dark green light.Thanks to the strong perception during the snake transformation process, Luke roughly guessed what the spell that gave him a clear sense of crisis was.
Shen Feng Wu Ying, a powerful attacking black magic.If there is no reverse curse, then the degree of harm is almost the same as the unforgivable curse.
Because it is more concealed and more difficult to dodge.
"Who the hell are you?"
Although it was a question, Snape's cold tone gave the impression that he already knew something.
"What's your purpose here?"
Snape took another step forward, meeting Luke's snake-like eyes.
"What have you done?"
Luke didn't answer his question, just smiled slightly, and put his index finger to his lips.Then lowered his voice and said: "Wait a little longer, maybe you will see some surprises later."
Snape frowned, looking at the man with the snake face mask with more vigilance in his eyes.The hand holding the wand became more and more stable.Luke looks like giving a French military salute now, but it's better not to show his hands in his pockets.
His fingers tapped rhythmically in his trouser pockets, and his movements were slight.
After Snape and Professor McGonagall exchanged glances, they also decided to wait.No matter what the opponent's hole cards are, they are sure to control each other.
"professor!"
Hagrid's loud voice came from the Forbidden Forest.On the face of it, Hegemin was banned from using spells, but privately, several professors knew the truth.And they all knew that even Hagrid, who had a wand in his hand, was definitely considered a considerable combat power.
"Here, Hagrid!"
Professor McGonagall greeted, and then quickly focused on Lun, but Luke didn't respond, as if he didn't care about their calling.
And the mysterious snake face mask covered up all expressions and eyes.Only the smiling face on the mask was left, which seemed to be both sentimental and mocking.
There was the sound of rustling through the woods and the sound of heavy footsteps, and after a while, Hagrid appeared first in everyone's sight.
"Bastard, I finally caught you!" Hagrid's face was full of anger, and the tip of the umbrella in his hand pointed at Luke's head.Luke felt that even without the flicker of the wand, Hagrid's hand could poke his head off with this thing.
"What did you do to the unicorns!"
When Hagrid thought of the unicorn lying in the Forbidden Forest, the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.But there is still a lot to be vigilant about.He didn't just rush forward like that, it was not only causing trouble for himself, but also holding back his teammates.
"I did not do anything."
Luke's tone was very innocent, but to everyone's ears, it was naturally another harsh taunt.
Snape originally wanted to say something more, but he still saw Quirrell behind Hagrid.
"Professor Quirrell, why are you here?"
Professor McGonagall also found Quirrell, so he asked.
"I need some fresh herbs for my teaching, but Professor Sprout doesn't have any, so I can only try my luck in the Forbidden Forest. I ran into Hagrid unexpectedly, and then we came to help together."
Quirrell said timidly.
Professor McGonagall looked at him, frowning slightly, but then relaxed.
And Snape stared at him for a long time, then turned his gaze to Luke again.
"who are you?"
In this sentence, there is finally a sense of doubt that should be there.
"An innocent passerby."
Luke smiled and said something that no one would believe.
Although everyone was gathered, the atmosphere at this time was even weirder than the confrontation just now.
"It seems that you have other troubles." Luke's voice was more lightly picked, and then said, "I thought you professors were very united."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Snape and Quirrell, and Quirrell and Snape did not look at each other very tacitly, but stared closely at Luke.
"Your little trick to provoke is really too low-level!"
said Hagrid, with a sneer.
Luke was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Are you still planning to do something? Everyone is here."
"What are you going to do?"
Professor McGonagall's attention returned to Luke.
"Oh my god! Can't I just catch it without my hands?" Luke's tone was full of helplessness, and then he stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket.The wands of the four raised together and pointed at him. The flashes on them became brighter and brighter, as if they were ready to go.
"See how nervous you are." Luke laughed.
"I just want to surrender!"
As he spoke, he raised his hands above his head, as if giving up resistance.
Professor McGonagall knew without thinking that there must be a fraud, but she didn't want to understand where the fraud was.
In the next moment, the water surface of the Black Lake, which was originally only slightly rippling, suddenly broke open.An arm and foot quickly came out of it, and before everyone could react, it dragged Luke down.
Luke felt the tug, and his voice returned to complete calm.
"We will meet again."
"Pfft!"
Shining spells shot into the water, illuminating the great shadows.But in the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared into the depths of the Black Lake.
Only that sentence was left, echoing in the wind.
