Chapter 84 Lead the snake out of the hole
The next morning, in the Great Hall, Hagrid reported loudly to Dumbledore that he found unknown people hunting illegally on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. The large amount of blood on the ground indicated that the hunter himself might have been injured.And Professor Sprout, who heard about this, also stood up and told the story of the theft of several pots of precious pomfret, which is a precious herb that can heal trauma.
The melon-eating students were in charge of discussing, guessing whether the injured hunter was Black.Wizards also have to eat. In addition to magical creatures, there are also wild deer and wild foxes in the Forbidden Forest. It is quite normal to want to hunt some for food. As for the cause of injury, it is likely that they were injured during the hunt. Attacked by dangerous magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
That night, when Sirius was sneaking into the greenhouse, he was suddenly attacked by a black shadow again.Fortunately, he was mentally prepared for this time, and rolled over to avoid the green light of the Killing Curse.
The assailant was a balding short man with gray hair, a mouse-like face and a pointed nose. It was the object of revenge that Sirius could not forget-Peter Pettigrew.
Sirius' eyes were red, and he shouted in a trembling voice, "Betrayer, you still have the face to appear in front of me!"
Peter Pettigrew didn't care at all, and sneered: "Sirius, who do you think you are? It seems that 12 years of prison life has made you unable to recognize reality."
Peter Pettigrew's eyes flickered coldly, "I am no longer the old me, I have gained new power, and I no longer need to be afraid of you. After I kill you, no one in this world will know my existence. I can resume my human body and start my new life again, but you will only die bearing the infamy of a traitor..."
At this moment, Professor Lupine emerged from the hiding place, stood behind Peter Pettigrew, and formed a pincer attack with Sirius.He said bitterly: "It really is you! Peter! It's not enough for you to kill James, and now you want to kill Sirius, you despicable villain, I must kill you today!"
Lupine and Sirius pulled out their wands at the same time (the latter's wand was brought to Sirius by Lupine), and they launched a fierce attack on Peter Pettigrew.
Pettigrew Peter showed a cruel smile. He drew a large circle with his wand, and silently released a jet-black strange vortex. The vortex was like a black hole that swallowed everything, swallowing all the attacks of the two without a trace.He said indifferently: "Why bother? Remus, I only wanted to kill Sirius. I didn't expect you to know the truth. It seems that I have to add another dead soul to my wand today."
Lupine said coldly: "You really think you can deal with the two of us after learning a little new magic, right? Do you think you are the only one who has improved over the years?"
There was undisguised contempt in Peter Pettigrew's eyes, "Ignorance! You don't even know how big the difference in strength is between us now!"
After finishing speaking, black mist visible to the naked eye leaked out of his body, swirling and dancing around him whistlingly.
Lupine and Sirius saw all kinds of unheard-of visions appearing on Peter Pettigrew, and they didn't dare to exaggerate them. They released their strongest attacks at the same time!
Pettigrew Peter's aura suddenly increased, he let out a hoarse scream, as if his body was suffering some kind of pain, a black light shot out from the end of his wand, the black light broke the spell of Lupine and Sirius at the same time, but it didn't It disappeared, but continued to push towards the two of them. With a sound of collision, the two of them were blown away as soon as they touched.
The black light seemed to be consciously attached to the two of them. At the same time, the two felt that the magic power on their bodies was fading rapidly, and their bodies became weak for a while, and they no longer had the power to resist.
Pettigrew sneered: "It's over, my friends, let me send you on your way!"
Suddenly, a dazzling and intense white light flashed, Peter Pettigrew hurriedly raised his wand to resist, stepped back five steps, looked at the direction of the white light with a face of wariness, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that even you came , Dumbledore."
Dumbledore stared at him with a somewhat complicated expression, and sighed: "Peter, you have fallen. Is your soul so evil that you can kill your former best friend?"
Although Pettigrew's strength has greatly increased, his timid and cautious character has not changed.Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard of this century, Peter Pettigrew is not arrogant enough to think that he will be his opponent.
He knew that with Dumbledore here, today's plan has completely failed, and he can only live a life of fleeing and hiding again. Although this kind of life is sad and aggrieved, at least he can survive first.
Thinking of this, all kinds of humiliation and resentment surged into his heart, and he roared a little madly: "Best friends? They only treat me as a follower! An errand that comes and goes when called! When will they treat me as an equal friend!"
Five strange green sparks appeared one after the other from the end of his wand, which were unusually obvious in the darkness.
Sirius froze for a moment, his memory flashed back to the Muggle street 12 years ago. He still remembered this magic. Peter Pettigrew, who had been sobbing in front of him at that time, also had five green sparks popping out from the end of his wand, and then blew up the whole street into ruins.
He yelled: "Danger!" But he and Lupine were so seriously injured that they couldn't move. They could only passively accept the end of death. He was not afraid of death, but he was very unwilling. In the end, he failed to avenge his friend James, and even dragged down another friend Lupine.
He and Lupine looked at each other, and showed miserable smiles at the same time. They stretched out their hands and held each other tightly, intending to welcome death together.
However, neither of them died.Dumbledore stood in front of them, blocking Peter Pettigrew's attack with a magic barrier emitting holy white light, but also gave the latter a chance to escape into the Forbidden Forest.
Sirius roared with all his strength in a hoarse voice: "Leave us alone, he is going to escape, as long as he enters the Forbidden Forest, he can Apparate..."
Dumbledore showed a meaningful expression and said, "It's not necessarily..."
Peter Pettigrew did take the opportunity to escape into the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't escape with Apparation directly as Sirius expected, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
The black magic big move just now is a kind of sacrificial magic. When he faced Sirius 12 years ago, he sacrificed one of his fingers. But this time, he didn’t dare to take it too seriously when facing Dumbledore. He directly sacrificed his entire right hand. The right hand missing a finger has turned into a pool of rotten meat on the ground, which has become the price for using this black magic.
Now he has become very weak due to the consumption of a lot of mana and the loss of blood.He could no longer perform the sophisticated magic of Apparition.
He planned to hide in the Forbidden Forest for a while, and then apparated and left after his body recovered a little. Just as he was stumbling towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest, a silent and invisible magic spell suddenly shot out from a dark place in the corner ahead. Even with Peter Pettigrew's caution, he didn't even notice when the magic spell was approaching him.
Xie Lin lifted the invisibility magic, walked out from the corner, and said with a slight smile: "Hello, Pettigrew, it's the first time we meet, I'm Xie Lin Malfoy, you should have heard my name?"
(Note: Pettigrew is actually a surname, which should have been translated as Peter Pettigrew, or Peter Pedilu, but the People’s Society insisted on translating it into Pettigrew Peter in order to correspond to Sirius Black. The author always uses "Peter Pettigrew" in the narration, and uses "Peter Pettigrew" or "Peter" in the dialogue, and the latter is only used by Lupine and Sirius)
Peter Pettigrew hoarsely said: "I know you, of course I know you, you are the second young master of the Malfoy family and a well-known future star at Hogwarts, your father and I are both Death Eaters, please help Me, take me out of here, and I will definitely repay you."
Xie Lin asked interestingly: "Sir, you are too embarrassed to treat a child empty-handed, why don't you tell me how you want to repay me first!"
Peter Pettigrew heard the trick, and hurriedly said: "I can give you power, and I can tell you the secret of my power. As long as you get this power, with your talent, you can surpass Dumbledore just around the corner."
Xie Lin nodded and said, "It's really attractive, but unfortunately, I don't need these..."
Peter Pettigrew refused to give up and continued to seduce Xie Lin, telling the strength of this force, seeing that Xie Lin was still unmoved, he finally gave in and said: "Then what do you want?"
Xie Lin smiled and said: "You know, I am as ambitious as all Slytherins, and I want to get your allegiance..."
Peter Pettigrew had a few thoughts in his mind, and he showed a flattering smile and said, "It's my honor to be able to serve you, a talented future strongman like you."
"You promised very readily, but I don't trust you. You once betrayed the Order of the Phoenix, and then defected and hid after the mysterious man lost power. You are not a loyal subordinate."
"No, no, they are different from you, they are too crazy, and you have inherited the character of the Malfoy family, young master. You must be a person who examines time and saves oneself wisely. It is definitely the right choice for me to follow you."
"Having said that, I still have to be on the safe side." Xie Lin took out a bottle of potion from his pocket. "This is a potion I developed uniquely. If you dare to betray me after drinking it, you will be tortured to death by the pain of thousands of arrows piercing your heart. You drink it all, and I will accept your allegiance and send you out of here."
Although Peter Pettigrew was reluctant, he had no choice but to drink the potion because of a knife.
What I didn't expect was that Schelling's unique potion was just nonsense. There is no potion with this effect in the world, even if there is a Schelling.
Contrary to Schelling's expectations, Peter Pettigrew did not go back to join Voldemort.
His power comes from a mysterious underground organization "Shadow of the Dragon". This organization is full of powerful dark wizards, and several of them are famous wanted criminals of the same era as Voldemort.
The young Tom Riddle had intersected with these people after leaving Hogwarts, and it was because of this that he obtained many secrets about black magic, such as transforming his body through black magic and greatly enhancing his magic power.Tom Riddle, as Voldemort in the student days, his appearance is very handsome, and he is not at all the same as the dark lord who later became famous. It is precisely because of these black magic that he later became that disgusting appearance.
(Note: In the original book, Dumbledore did mention that the young Riddle had "hanged out with some of the most evil fellows in the wizarding world, undergoing many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappearing as Voldemort". These guys are set in this book as members of the mysterious organization Shadow of the Dragon)
Peter Pettigrew doesn't know much about the organization either.
All he knew was that they were here for a student at Hogwarts, and Pettigrew Peter's magical powers had improved by leaps and bounds after being baptized by them with some kind of dark power.
At this price, Peter Pettigrew made an unbreakable oath to help them kidnap a student.Peter Pettigrew does not know the identity of the student at present. The organization hopes that Peter Pettigrew will first solve the unstable factor that may interfere with the plan, and then announce the follow-up plan to him.
The Shadow of the Dragon, an organization that never appeared in the original book, why did it appear in Hogwarts? What ulterior purpose do they have?
According to the author's own personality, I really want to change Pettigrew Peter to Peter Pediru, but... you know.
