Chapter 114
Chapter 114
For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on Blake's gaunt face, and the change it brought was startling, as if a man ten years younger had stepped out from behind the gaunt mask.
Just like the young and handsome best man with a smile on his face in the wedding photo.
Crookshanks was the first to jump out of the tree hole. He pressed on the scar on the trunk, and the twisting Whomping Willow stopped again.
It was dark on the ground, with only a faint light coming from the windows of the castle in the distance.
Everyone came out of the tree hole and walked forward in silence. Only Pettigrew was breathing heavily and whimpering from time to time.
Harry's mind was still racing with excitement. He could leave the Dursleys and live with his parents' best friend, who was also his godfather.
"If you dare to move again, Peter." Lupin, who was walking in front, pointed his wand at Pettigrew's chest threateningly.
At this moment, a large cloud moved away, revealing the vague shadows of several people on the ground. They were bathed in moonlight, and Snape, floating, bumped into Lupin, who suddenly stopped.
Black stopped and stretched out his hand to stop Harry, Hermione and Su Xingchen.
Harry froze when he saw Lupin's silhouette on the ground.
"Oh my god!" Hermione exclaimed, "It's a full moon tonight and he didn't take his potion."
"Run," Blake whispered. "Run."
But Harry couldn't run, Ron and Pettigrew were still handcuffed to Lupin.
There was a terrible roar, and Lupin's head and body stretched, his back arched, hair grew on his face and hands, and his fingers turned into claws.
The fully transformed werewolf stood up on its hind legs, its long mouth opening and closing.
"Leave it to me." Sirius said and disappeared from Harry's side. A big black dog jumped up from the side.
As the werewolf struggled against the handcuffs, the dog grabbed him by the neck and dragged him backwards, away from Ron and Pettigrew.
The wolf and the dog immediately bit each other, tearing each other's claws.
Peter Pettigrew took advantage of no one's attention and pounced on Lupin's dropped wand. Ron, who had a splint on his foot, was unable to stand steadily and was pulled to the ground by him.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry reacted quickly, and the wand that Pettigrew had just touched flew high into the air and disappeared.
"Don't move!" he roared, running forward.
Unfortunately, it was too late, Pettigrew had already transformed, and his bald tail was pulled out of the handcuffs.
A long howl and a low groan were heard, and the werewolf fled in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
"He's gone, Sirius, Pettigrew's transformed!" Harry shouted.
Sirius was bleeding, with deep wounds around his mouth and back, but after hearing Harry's words, he struggled to his feet and chased after him, disappearing into the silence.
Harry rushed to Ron's side. Hermione and Su Xingchen were already checking him. His leg had suffered a secondary injury and he seemed a little unconscious.
"We'd better get him back here first," Harry said, shaking his hair out of his eyes and trying to clear his mind. "Let's go."
But at this moment, a dog barking was heard from the woods outside the sight. A dog was howling in pain, which made people tremble in their hearts.
"Sirius!" Harry looked into the darkness, hesitant for a moment. They were helpless about Ron's situation, and Sirius was obviously in trouble.
"Go quickly." Su Xingchen pushed him, "I'll take Ron to the hospital."
Harry didn't hesitate any longer and ran towards the lake. Hermione followed him closely, worried that he might get into danger alone.
Su Xingchen put Ron's arm on his shoulder and cast a levitation spell on his injured leg. His free left hand was still holding the Snape brand "balloon".
At this moment, she knew where Ron's stomach was filled with food.
He looked back at the direction where Harry and Hermione disappeared, then staggered towards the school hospital.
On the beds in the Hogwarts Hospital, four people who were closest to each other were lying side by side.
On the far left is Ron, who is sleeping. His leg is broken and is being lifted high in a plaster cast. The patient in the middle left is Su Xingchen. Harry is still unconscious on the middle bed on the right, and Hermione is resting on the bed on the far right.
I was just sending someone to the hospital, so why is he lying in bed?
Su Xingchen stared blankly at the ceiling. She had just bumped into Harry and her shoulder was broken!
And because he was carrying Ron, his injury was aggravated, while Harry was fine. Not that he wanted him to get hurt, but how could that be justified? Did he have rebar in his shoulder?
Also, when she was at the Whomping Willow, she fell from half a meter high and landed on her butt. It was only half a meter, but her tailbone was fractured!
Is this scientific?
She is a strong monk, not a crispy egg roll.
What? My fate this year is a broken bone anyway?
Su Xingchen finally understood that fate or the plot would always prevent her from actually getting involved at the last crucial step.
The first year he fainted, the second year he had a stroke, and the third year he was paralyzed.
That's right, Madam Pomfrey asked her to drink a potion that was difficult to swallow and then lie in bed without moving, waiting for the bone joints to repair, although it only took one night.
Harry felt dizzy, his limbs felt like they were filled with lead, and his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them.
When he struggled to open his eyes, everything was blurry and someone had taken his glasses.
He squinted his eyes and found himself lying in a dim hospital. He turned his head on the pillow and saw Hermione lying on the bed to his right. The moonlight shone into her wide-open eyes, and she seemed to be petrified.
Seeing that Harry was awake, she put a finger on her lips and pointed to the door of the ward.
The door was ajar, and the voices of Cornelius Fudge and Snape talking could be heard from the corridor.
They've captured Sirius and are about to have the Dementors suck out his soul!
Because Su Xingchen's fractures were on the left and back, she could only lie on her right side. She saw clearly the movements and expressions of Harry and Hermione after they woke up. When she saw Harry jump up and try to jump off the bed, she quickly grabbed his arm.
Harry seemed about to open his mouth to speak, so he followed Hermione's example and silenced him.
Harry was indeed puzzled. He had just noticed that Su Xingchen was also lying in the hospital bed. He and Hermione had fainted because of the Dementor attack. How did Xingchen get injured? Was she also attacked on the way back to school with Ron?
Su Xingchen was glad that everyone remained quiet at this time. If Harry asked her how she was injured or where she was injured, she would be embarrassed to say it out loud.
Harry was anxious when he saw Fudge and Snape leave. He frowned at Su Xingchen and signaled her to let go, but she just shook her head.
The door of the ward was pushed open with a bang, and the person who came in was Dumbledore.
Su Xingchen's hand loosened.
