Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Your medicine!" Sure enough, as he thought, Zoe was about to come to them, but her face suddenly became frightened, and she shouted out the window, "God, what is that!" She looked like As if seeing a fire dragon flying towards them outside the window, the rest of the people couldn't help but look out the window.

The night sky was clear, and the dark clouds that had enveloped the sky at some point had disappeared. The light and bright moonlight projected from the sky, illuminating a large area of ​​the ground, and even entered the castle through the window, dropping a vague shadow.Fudge looked at him in confusion for a long time, but he couldn't find anything wrong. There was only the silent night sky in his eyes, but when he took his attention away, he found that Lupin, who was still talking to him just now, froze.

"Quick...Go..." Finally, squeezing these two words out of his throat, Lupin's limbs were constantly trembling, and they were undergoing amazing changes... Black opened his eyes. How many times has he seen this old man? Dude transformed?"Go away!" Hermione was the first to react, and quickly pulled Harry back, and at the same time shouted at Fudge who was stunned, "Quickly leave him, Mr. Fudge!"

From Lupin’s mouth, there was a deep and long howl of a beast. The bones of his limbs were pulled up at an alarming speed. The tattered robe belonging to humans was swollen and swollen, and finally torn after reaching the critical point. He became taller, but his upper body leaned forward slightly, as if he was crocking.

Thick hairs emerged from his arms, followed by long, pointed claws.Lupin’s face has changed like any other part of him. The elongated face covered with hair grows out of the lower jaw of a wolf, and his eyes are shining with fierce rays, the light spots of the gentle and rational wisdom that were once. Completely swallowed by the bloodthirsty beast instinct.

"Wolf, werewolf?!" Fudge screamed, and the wizard he brought pulled out his wand for the first time, calmly planning to strike before the werewolf transformation was completed.But when he just pointed his wand at Lupin, his body froze, and then he was slapped by the werewolf to fly out, and the wand he was holding was also released, and rolled to the feet of Little Star.

"Lupin!" Black roared, and he also transformed into a black bear-sized black dog, pounced on it and bite with the werewolf, preventing him from attacking Fudge next, "No! Dwarf is about to run away. !" Harry watched as Pettigrew rolled to the ground, holding the wand of the Ministry of Magic official in his hand, he was frightened, knowing that there was only one chance.He first used his wand to unlock the shackles that bound him, then lowered his head to avoid the fragments of armor that had flown over after being smashed by Lupin.

"Zoe, stop him!"

He heard the little girl among the few yelling like this, and raised her head suddenly, and saw the girl who had just run over standing in front of him, but there was no tension on her face, even though she held her magic wand Facing himself, he seemed to be casually chatting with him.

Just as Little Dwarf was about to stun the girl first, she heard the girl looking at him with a smile: "After escaping, go to the Albanian forest. That person should be there. If you don't want to be a ditch mouse forever, Xiao Dwarf, just serve your master again."

The fragments of his memory were retrieved from the box when he looked at this familiar figure: that was when he first decided to betray, he went to meet the Dark Lord, and talked to him at that time. The very dense woman...except for her eyes and age, she was exactly the same as this one, and all had eyes that didn't treat people as people.

Chill ran up his spine. He couldn't help showing a faltering expression, but saw the man chuckle: "At least the superficial effort must be done well, so please hurt me appropriately, right?"

Hermione watched as Pettigrew's spell was shot directly on Zoe. She couldn't even resist, so she flew upside down, hit the wall with a loud noise, and dropped her head to look like she was unconscious.Hermione couldn't separate the energy to deal with the little dwarf star that escaped directly after transforming. She suddenly burst into an extremely cold panic in her heart: it was all because I asked her to help catch the little star, she shouldn't have been hurt!Why is she motionless?Will it hurt badly and bleed?What kind of spell did Dwarf use on her?

"Wow!" The black dog fell into the wind in another fight. It jumped on the werewolf's back, biting the werewolf's weaker neck, but was thrown directly against the wall by the werewolf, wailing and lying down. Moved.The werewolf lowered its forelimbs, and its huge body looked more like a wolf. Hermione clearly noticed that the werewolf was looking in Zoe's direction.

Her head was blank, but her actions were straightforward. She rushed over completely subconsciously, pulling Zoe to avoid the werewolf attack, protecting her behind her, and enduring the impact of the gravel.But she couldn't move on to the next step. Hermione's legs were weak, and the strong smell of the beast from the werewolf floated directly into her nose. It was already very close to them, but the werewolf did not immediately attack.

She had a mysterious feeling: the werewolf was watching them, and it was going to treat them as food.

"Except for your weapons!" At this moment, Harry's roar accompanied a light hitting the bridge of the werewolf's nose. The beating was straight, the painful werewolf suddenly fell into madness, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Harry fiercely."Come here, you big guy!" Although Harry was also uneasy, he had to draw the monster's attention away from Hermione.

Sure enough, the werewolf's anger began to lean towards him.Just when Harry thought that at least Hermione and the others were safe, the werewolf bit on Zoe's robe and held her up in the air.It glanced at Hermione, and finally gave up on the cumbersome thought.

Chapter 70 The Night of Truth (5)

"Hermione!" Harry ran with his legs, the werewolf bowed, and quickly chased him, "Go and see what happened to Black, let me hold it first!" He cleverly used the heavy decorations around the castle and The wall was an obstacle, and his heart was pounding. Whenever he heard the werewolf's loud noise from behind him as he smashed into the obstacle, he was horrified, as if death was chasing behind him.

Fortunately, in the past three years, he has become familiar with the entire castle enough to allow him to quickly construct a route in his mind.These are things that Lupin, who has lost his mind, cannot do.In the previous fierce battle with Black, it was not unscathed. His right leg was also bitten by Black, which seriously affected its running speed. It was also the greatest guarantee that Harry could escape with two legs.

But even if he flees like this, Harry must be the last person to run out of energy. If the situation drags on to that time, he will have to wait to die.Alas, it would be great if he had the Firebolt in his hand, the sigh in Harry's mind flashed away, and then he concentrated on avoiding the werewolf's pursuit.He must come up with an idea as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

At this time, a ginger-colored shadow suddenly flashed from the corner, and Harry could see clearly with the eyesight of his genius seeker: It was Hermione’s pet Crookshank, a very strange-tempered ginger. Big yellow cat.He remembered what happened earlier today, and a vague thought formed in his heart.

"Crookshanks!" He yelled at the front, "I know you are very smart, you must understand! Please help me to beat the scab of the willow?! I won't be able to hold it this way. !"

The small but clear meow was a salvation for Harry.With determination in his heart, he flipped over the handguards of the stairs and jumped straight up the lower stairs. The werewolves continued to chase him with the wind pressure and heavy footsteps, and the torches on the two walls of the castle reflected their shadows. shadow.

Closer, closer.The moment he rushed out of the castle gate, the cool night breeze rushed towards his face. Harry’s cheeks were already covered with sweat, and he almost covered his eyes. When the wind blew, he squinted comfortably. He fell on the grass and stretched his limbs, and he felt that his legs had begun to weaken.But the strong desire to survive and the pressure behind him forced him to be unable to stop.

Harry’s situation became more dangerous because he was on level ground without obstacles, and the werewolf’s gasps approached firmly, and he could smell the faint smell of the unpleasant fur of the werewolf, ha Li closed his eyes and tried his last strength to speed up.The outline of the beating willow was very clear, and he prayed in his heart that if Crookshanks were not there, he would be chased by the werewolf and torn to pieces.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Fear turned into words and roared out of his throat.But Harry was determined to rush into the small tree hole even if he was attacked by the Batter Willow. He looked at the branches of the Batter Willow about to move, and dropped his weight.

Closer, closer!Just when Harry was ready to get a meal from the beating willow, the branches of the beating willow stopped above his head as if froze, "Crookshanks, you are the best in the world. Cat!" Harry almost burst into tears. He was willing to pay even a bag of Jin Jialong after that, to treat Hermione's cat well and never yell at it.

As soon as Harry jumped into the tree hole, Crookshanks released his claws from the scabs on the trunk, and the werewolf jumped back quickly. After a step late, he roared angrily, and Zoe in his mouth fell to the ground. .The werewolf probed around the edge of the beating willow for a while, but found that it could not break through the defense range of the beating willow, so it only snored angrily from its throat.

Harry looked out from the opening of the tree, through the gaps of the dense branches, he saw the werewolves wandering around unwillingly, and after a while, he finally gave up.But Harry suddenly found out in despair that he was trying to escape, but forgot that Zoe was still in the hands of the werewolf. He could only watch the werewolf pick up Zoe, who was still in a coma, and ran away in the direction of the forbidden forest. .

*****

"No! Zoe!"

Hermione rushed out of the castle panting, halfway through, and witnessed the werewolf running towards the Forbidden Forest with Zoe in his mouth, and couldn't help yelling in despair.She was sobbing, a cloud of fear and despair hovered in her heart. She wanted everything that happened in front of her to be a dream. It should be so good. Everything was still under control. Blake could regain her reputation. Azkaban was taken into custody, justice was done, even if the dead will not come back, at least the trajectory of the still alive has been corrected.

But now she could only watch Zoe being taken to the forbidden forest.At that time, TOFuji went to help take care of Sirius, and must let Professor Dumbledore (or other capable professors) know about it.The previous attack happened too suddenly, no one can recover from such a sudden, but when the reaction came, the good momentum that had been there was suddenly destroyed.

She was distraught at the time, just wanting to run out to find Zoe and Harry.Fudge stopped him. Although the man was frightened by a series of developments in the previous emergency, he had been in a trance until just now, but now he has finally calmed down.He hoped that Hermione could stay here and wait for the adults to solve the matter, instead of putting her in danger as a third-year student.

"Miss Granger? What you must know is that this matter is not something you can solve now. The best job you can do is to stay here and take care of Sirius-my goodness, I think he is at least brainy. It's shocked-and let me tell the adults, we will definitely send Miss Siegel..." Fudge advised.

"No..." Hermione was shaking all over, and she unconsciously leaked the words of rejection from her mouth. "It will be too late to go on like this. Someone must follow. Zoe, she will be bitten by a werewolf!" she shouted, her brain. The knowledge about werewolves described in the book reverberated constantly. She knew that as long as a werewolf bites a human, that human will be irreversibly werewolf, and she can only be discriminated against by people, living in the shadows and rumors all her life.

At this time, even the biting of Zoe might be a good ending, at least as a werewolf, she could still survive.If it were torn to pieces by the irrational Lupin as food, everything would be ruined.Not to mention that Harry was also involved in this turmoil, when he bravely stood up to protect Hermione, but Hermione found uncomfortably that she had no strength at the time. How could she be a real Gryffindor like this? What?

"I must go...If I don't go, I will lose..." She couldn't bear it anymore, and she never wanted to lose anyone."Calm down, Little Granger..." Hermione shook off Fudge's hand and said coldly, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Minister, if you were able to display even half of your ability as a wizard..." She bit her tightly. Lower lip, restrain yourself from saying more embarrassing words, "I'm sorry, sir, I am a little out of control. Please also inform the professors quickly."

She nodded to Fudge, and ran away without looking back.She dared not think about anything when she was running, and her mind was blank. This was not entirely because she was not good at strenuous exercise, but because she was afraid that even if she just imagined some bad pictures in her mind, those would come true. Once she started to imagine, it was impossible to stop.

But when she really followed the promenades and stairs that became dilapidated along the way, jumping over the shattered stone statues and armors, one portrait after another screamed and discussed with each other who just passed by them. To them, when they were awakened in the middle of the night, they were still a little angry and panicked, but there were also some portraits that liked to make trouble, and they talked with interest.

She ran out of the gate of the castle, the full moon in the sky was sometimes covered by clouds, and sometimes revealed its flawless appearance.But when Hermione first came out, the clouds floated away as if she felt her anxiety. She listened to the howlings in the distance, and then saw the werewolf grab Zoe and ran away toward the deep forbidden forest.

What should I do?What can we do?A student should never easily enter a dangerous place like the Forbidden Forest, but what choice does she have?The werewolf took away her friend, the one she never wanted to lose!Hermione shuddered just by imagining the danger that Zoe might encounter in places she couldn't see.

Knowing that Harry was safe for the time being, she no longer hesitated and ran towards the Forbidden Forest alone.

Chapter 71 The Night of Truth (6)

In a daze, Zoe heard the wind whistling in his ear.She couldn't touch the ground, she felt light and fluttering, and she was insecure about dangling constantly.Her head, chest, and back were sorely painful that she didn't feel much when she was fainted, but as soon as she was conscious, the sharp pain seemed to be breaking her body apart, and Zoe unconsciously got out of her throat Squeeze a moan-groan.

Her memory still lingered in Professor Lupin's office. She slipped backwards uncontrollably because she stepped on something.Then she knocked her head directly on the hard table, and then she lost consciousness.But what is the situation now?Not only the whole body is painful, but the surrounding environment is obviously not in the castle.

Her thinking ability gradually recovered, and she felt that the robe on her back seemed to be picked up by something, and she was moving at high speed while lying in the air.First, there are large expanses of flat land, and then open and clear lakes, reflecting the moonlight that is sometimes bright and sometimes shaded.I was being dragged forward by someone, feeling the bumps that came. Zoe immediately saw a pair of furry forelimbs and sharp claws from below his field of vision, which belonged only to large beasts, at least absolute. Creatures that are unlikely to appear outside the forbidden forest.

what happened?The flustered emotions can't stop growing because of the memory of the fault. The first second he stayed in a narrow but safe room, the next second he was taken away by the beast and his life was threatened.Zoe trembled, but she forced herself to calm down: In the current situation, there should be no other things to consider other than active self-help.As her eyes and ears became clearer, she could hear the rapid breathing of the beasts undulating in her ears, and the changes in the scenery passing by at high speed gave her basic judgment, but this is not good news: if she can’t Get out of the grip of this unknown monster, the Forbidden Forest is not a good place to go.

She quietly stretched her hand to the robe, trying to pull out her wand first.But the bad thing is that she can't find it, not just in the pocket, she can't find the wand in any place she can touch now.Maybe it fell somewhere, but without her wand, how could she escape from the beast's mouth?

While Zoe was trying to find other ways to escape, she slammed forward, gritting her teeth and didn't let her free fall with a sound enough to attract the attention of the beast.She took the opportunity to roll twice on the muddy ground. Fortunately, the ground of the forbidden forest was not as hard as in winter, and she could not care that her body was covered with mud and grass.

After she stopped, she lay down and waited for a while. She could hear the low roar of wild beasts in her ears, and the sound of rustling when her claws rubbed against the mud. This sound was very close to her, through The conduction from the ground seemed to penetrate her eardrums directly and hit her heart directly.But the beast did not attack again, and its tone gradually became weird and anxious.

Zoe quietly raised her head and opened her eyes in shock. What did she see?A werewolf!There is still a tattered wizard robe on her body, and the robe with many patches looks so familiar. Apart from Professor Lupin, there is probably no wizard that Zoe has ever seen wearing this kind of clothes. Decent clothing too.

"Oh my god, the professor didn't drink the medicine..." Zoe murmured to himself, the werewolf seemed to be on guard, as if he could no longer spend any energy on Zoe's side.It stands upright with its forelimbs, which makes it look taller. The long face with dense hair can't help swaying to the left and right, its big nose sniffing the remaining smell in the air.

It stared in one direction, its sharp teeth were wide and its hair all upright, which made it look stronger.The werewolf squeezed a nervous whimper from his throat, stepped back a few steps, and looked back in Zoe's direction again. He wanted to think about whether or not to consider this girl who smelled good before he left. Chinese meal with fruit belly.

But when it tentatively walked a few steps here, it stopped.Howling long to the sky, he ran away into the depths of the forbidden forest.It wasn't until the werewolf's footsteps were too far to hear that Zoe got up from the ground confused.She patted the dirt on her body. Because the Forbidden Forest was covered with lush branches almost covering the entire sky, almost even the light would be swallowed in the middle of the night, but the werewolf did not take Zoe to go deeper, and the moonlight tonight is It was so bright, the dark clouds dissipated again, and the moonlight passed through the gaps in the leaves, faintly visible.

You have to leave here quickly.Zoe stumbled and walked a few steps forward. She felt pain all over her body, and her consciousness was almost fainting, but she couldn't do it because of the pain.The Forbidden Forest at night is more gloomy than during the day, because it is so silent that you can't even hear the birdsong.

Zoe supported the tree trunk and walked slowly in the direction she had predicted when she brought it back.When a person is alone in a quiet place, it is inevitable that he will not be thinking wildly.As for why it was in the hands of the werewolf as soon as he opened his eyes, if it was Zoe in the past, he would only feel that he violated, but would not know what happened, just like in the second grade.

But even if she knew the reason, she could do nothing.Because it seems that the initiative lies in the other person in the body, she can only accept passively, she doesn’t even know what Max did when using her body, but when you wake up, you can’t stop what happened. Whatever happened, even your consciousness has jumped through time and space, but at a loss.There will be a second, third, and countless times after the first time. She finally realized that she must not let up on Max.
