After going out, the group of people hurried cautiously towards the river.
"Didn't you say there are people from the Ministry of Magic?" Ron looked around
"People from the Ministry of Magic obviously don't like to stay with Dementors." Harry looked at the sky. Against the moonlight, dense black shadows appeared in the sky of Hogsmeade.
"Then how do they find Sirius? Dementors don't care about a dog," Ron asked curiously.
But soon, he cleared up his doubts.
Several people who were walking through the houses suddenly heard a familiar whimpering sound coming from the front.
"This is the sound a dog makes." Betty frowned slightly, she was all too familiar with it. Lu Wei would make this sound when he was fighting for food.
"Concealment Technique" To be on the safe side, she cast a magic spell.
"Stand still," he warned at the same time.
Several people stood with their backs against the wooden house, holding their breath and staring nervously at the exit of the alley.
"Huu~hu——" the voice became clearer and clearer
Then, a huge black shadow turned from the street into the alley and walked slowly towards them.
"What the f*ck is this!" Although they didn't make a sound, several people still shouted in their hearts in unison.
Facing this creature that is suspected to be a dog, everyone's most intuitive impression is that it is weird.
Its body is not like Black and Lu Wei, with dark and shiny fur. It is as pure black as Best. The bright moonlight cannot reflect any body details, only a vague outline. The eyes are two
A bright green flame, the flames kept beating with the owner's mood swings.
To be honest, if it weren't for the constant dripping of halazi from the corner of my mouth, I would have thought it was two will-o'-the-wisps floating in.
The most important thing is that it is really big. It is about the same height as Harry when it is on all fours, and its strong body fills the entire alley. As they walk, several people can vaguely hear the sound of the body rubbing against the walls of the house.
Ron closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at her for fear of screaming.
The strange creature entered the alley, and first glanced around with its green eyes. Then it sniffed the ground, and the breath exhaled from its nose was like rising steam.
Fortunately, nothing was found. After searching to no avail, the body suddenly dissolved and sank to the surface, turning into a black shadow and wandering away from the alley.
"Phew - it scared me to death!" After it left, Ron patted his chest with lingering fear.
"——Shadow Escape! This is the Banzai Shire Shadow Hound!" Hermione looked incredulous.
"What is that?" Harry asked
"The notorious executioner. Like the dementors, he is part of the Ministry of Magic's organized thugs." Hermione looked disgusted.
"Same as Dementors? Just average~just a bit scarier." Harry felt that Shadow Hounds couldn't compare with Dementors.
"The main function of the shadow hound is to hunt. As long as you show your shadow, you can't escape its eyes. Fortunately, we were in the shadow of the house just now, otherwise the shielding magic would be useless." Hermione explained, "The book says that hunting dogs
The shadow dog has not been found in nearly 20 years and was thought to be extinct."
"Then we're really lucky," Ron complained.
"Be careful and follow the shadows." Betty confessed and continued to rush out of the village.
The rest of the trip went relatively smoothly. After leaving the village, there were no patrols by the Bansai Shire Shadowhound.
"Is Peter still in Hogwarts territory now?" Betty asked
"Just disappeared on the west side of the stadium." Harry, who had been observing the map, immediately replied, "Probably crossing the river."
"Yeah" Betty nodded, took out her wand and said "Eagle Whistle!"
Three owls phantoms fly to the river
"We have to speed up," he said, running out at the lead.
After passing through the jungle, there is a grassland, which is very large. It is divided into two parts by a not very wide river. Hangis River - named in commemoration of the founder of the village. At the same time, it is also the link between Hogsmeade and Hogsmeade.
Gwarts' dividing line.
Once you get here, it's easy. The grass is not like a jungle. With the blessing of the light body technique, a few people can run straight away. After about a minute, everyone standing on the slope can see the river below very clearly.
"Did you find anything?" Harry asked
"No news came." Betty shook her head.
"Not ashore yet?" Hermione guessed
"I don't know." Betty shook her head. "It stands to reason - the river is not very wide, and the current is not fast, so it should have come up long ago."
"Will he drown?" Ron guessed maliciously.
"No...unless...he didn't choose to go ashore at this section."
Betty suddenly woke up. She quickly directed the two owls to fly upstream and the other downstream...
"Found it!"
Sure enough - in the slowly flowing river downstream, an oily-skinned mouse was grabbing a stick and drifting with the current.
"Follow me!" The water doesn't flow very fast, so you can catch up.
....
In the river, pettigrew Peter in the form of a mouse looked at the sky anxiously. He was not worried about whether he could escape. After all, he had an oath in advance, so leaving should be no problem. What he was concerned about was what to do in the future.
However - the starlight in the sky cannot help him light the way forward. He is very sure that tomorrow - the contents of the photo letter will be spread to all corners of the world. By then, not to mention being ruined... the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic will be absolute
Indispensable.
Not to mention, the friendly little friends in the past. These people are eager to eat him.
After much deliberation, there was only one way left. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had to do this for the sake of his life.
"Peter!"
While he was melancholy, a roar suddenly came from behind him. The voice was very familiar, it was Harry.
When Peter turned around and looked, Harry and Ron were already in front of him.
After all, it was a boy. He was following him eagerly and quickly distanced himself from the girl.
"Death! Peter" Ron waved his wand, and a white light shot at Peter.
Unfortunately, he missed the target. The attack was submerged in the water and caused a splash of water.
When Peter saw this, he immediately jumped into the water and swam ashore quickly. Since he had been discovered, it was best to go ashore. Hiding in the water would only mean being beaten passively.
After Peter landed, everyone discovered that there was a magic wand curled around his tail. The moment he set foot on land, Peter returned to his original shape.
"I don't have time to waste time with you." Although he was discovered, Peter did not put them down. He shook the water droplets on his wand and looked up at the dots of black shadows in the starry sky. "Let me review your homework.
"
After finishing speaking, he waved the magic wand and said "Happy Spell!"
The spell was cast, and a brilliant light flashed on the two of them.
"Haha~haha——"
"Ha--Reservoir Dogs--haha~"
The two pointed at Peter and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright.
"I hope you can still laugh later~ But I don't have time to appreciate it." Peter didn't notice the ridicule of the two people. In other words, he was used to it.
The body turns into a black smoke and is about to leave
"Call the gods and call the guards!"
An elegant silver-white bird flew over with long tail feathers and knocked Peter down.
It was Betty and Hermione who arrived.
"The curse will stop!" Hermione quickly broke the curse for the two people who fell to the ground laughing.
"It feels pretty good~" Ron said carelessly.
"My stomach just hurts a little." Harry rubbed his stomach.
"The dementors are coming! You go deal with Peter," Betty quickly reminded the two big-hearted people.
Only then did Harry notice that the sky suddenly darkened. The green grass on the ground began to frost in this spring season. The happy mood of the two of them just now was like a bright light in the dark night, lighting up the surrounding Dementors.
All attracted.
"Oh——" Under Betty's command, the patron saint burst out with dazzling white light.
It circled in the air, frightening the dementors and making them afraid to approach.
"Expelliarmus!" It is said that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Harry's eyes were red, and he cast a spell and rushed forward.
"Harry!" Ron was always the first to respond, "The world is spinning!"
Their attacks were fast, but Peter was old and had good combat experience.
"Counterspell!"
A cloud of mist formed in front of him. The curses of the two were deflected back and hit him.
Ron immediately spiraled into the sky and fell to the ground. Harry also lost his wand instantly. But this did not dispel his anger and he still rushed towards Peter.
"If you want to reunite with your parents, I will make it happen for you!" Peter smiled cruelly and pointed his wand away.
"Harry - come back!" Betty shouted hurriedly
She hasn't finished speaking
"Avada eats the big melon!" Green light shot out from Peter's wand and hit Harry directly.
At the critical moment
"Whoosh——!" A dark golden stream of light flew into the field
"Pa—!" The moment gold and green collided, Avada's Kedavra was instantly defeated.
"Woof——!" The real drowned dog is coming...a black vicious dog roars and rushes out from behind.
It turned out that after Sirius lost track of Peter by the river, he swam to the other side. Then he followed Harry and the others' scent.
Peter was slightly panicked when he saw Black appear. But he immediately reacted, "You don't have a wand, why are you here to die?"
"Split into pieces!" He did not attack Black, but directly hit Harry. He also knew that Black in Animagus form was quite flexible and might not be able to hit. Attacking Harry would have the same effect.
Sure enough, this trick was very effective. Seeing that Harry was in danger, Black ignored Peter and turned to throw Harry down, avoiding the attack.
"Boom -" the magic spell hit the grass and exploded a big hole.
"It's really embarrassing~Old friend" Peter takes advantage of the victory and pursues "a prairie fire!"
As he waved his wand, the blazing flames spread out in a fan shape, heading straight towards Harry and Black.
Here, Betty, who had her hands free, immediately cast a spell. She knelt down on one knee and placed her wand on the grass. "The clear spring flows!"
When the flames came, a spring suddenly appeared under Harry's feet. The spring water rose up and gathered into a water ball, covering the two of them.
"Zizzizi————" Countless steaming water vapor spread throughout the audience
"Breeze" Betty waved her magic wand again, and a strong wind blew away the fog.
The scene in the field was also exposed to everyone’s eyes
"What a pity~" Peter sighed. The reason why he didn't take the opportunity to escape was because he wanted to see the scene he hoped for.
I saw two people falling to the ground. Their lives were not in danger. But it would definitely be uncomfortable to be hit by the scorching steam.
"Freezing spell!" Seeing that Peter's attention was attracted, Hermione seized the opportunity to freeze his legs.
"Coffin" Betty followed closely
A halo locked Peter
"It's over" Betty breathed a sigh of relief
"Ugh——" Blake stood up again and returned to his original shape. He slowly walked towards Pettigrew.
"Oh~ Peter... Peter... Peter. Do you know how much I miss you!" Sirius grabbed his hair with both hands and forced him to look at him.
