Chapter 174: Waiting for the Rabbit's Ambush
As Peter Pettigrew's shrill shouts echoed through the dimly lit foyer, Snape's memories returned to that night twelve years ago.
That night, by the time he got the news and rushed to the house, it was in ruins.
He had already made up his mind to protect Lily under the Dark Lord, and he was willing to pay any price for it.
Even if he openly rebelled against Voldemort, even if he died.
But all he saw was her body, lying there lifeless.
She's dead, she's been killed by Voldemort!
In the days that followed, while all the wizards were celebrating the news of Voldemort's downfall, Snape locked himself in the room alone. He blamed himself for not telling Voldemort about that prophecy, Lily wouldn't have died, he had killed her.
Thinking of this, Snape wished that the person who died was himself.
Later, Dumbledore told him that after receiving his own warning, Lily and the Potter had planned to hide with the Loyalty Charm, an ancient magic that could keep secrets in a person's soul forever.
This secret will never be discovered unless the confidential person voluntarily divulges it.
Under the protection of this spell, even Voldemort himself could not find them, which was originally the most foolproof way, but they chose the wrong secret and mistakenly believed the Sirius Black.
Blake betrayed them, and he divulged the location of the house to Voldemort.
If the school days were just about hating each other, then after Black killed Lily, hatred grew in Snape's heart. For twelve years, countless days and nights, Snape wanted to kill Black with his own hands to avenge Lily.
But now he hears the truth, and everything was done by Peter Pettigrew.
The hatred for Blake was transferred almost instantaneously to Peter Pettigrew, to this tiny guy he had never noticed before.
Snape clenched his wand in his hand, he was going down to kill this dastardly traitor.
He moved slightly, then immediately hesitated. He didn't want anyone else to know his feelings for Lily, and in the dimly lit foyer, the conversation was gradually over, and Blake was going to kill Peter Pettigrew, maybe letting him do it was the best option.
Evan hid behind the curtain, and he glanced strangely at Snape beside him.
Snape looked like he was about to act, but he stopped again. He didn't know what he was thinking, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his body was constantly trembling slightly, and he spoke of the monstrous anger in his heart in a wordless way.
Evan didn't have the time to guess what Snape was thinking, his attention was entirely focused on Peter Pettigrew, and he had to find a way to catch this guy before he could run away or die again.
He secretly looked out, and it was undoubtedly the strangest feeling of his life: standing behind a curtain on the second floor, and seeing himself in the foyer on the first floor.
"Sirius, you can't kill him!"
"Harry, do you know what you're doing, this scoundrel has cost you both of your parents!" Blake roared, "this groveling filthy fellow will be unmoved to see you die." You heard what he just said, his own stinky skin is more important than the lives of your whole family. ”
"I understand!" Harry gasped, "he killed my parents, he framed Professor Lupin, he controlled Ron, he tried to kill Aven, I won't forgive him for doing these things, never!But you can't kill him, Sirius, I don't think my dad would want his best friend to kill someone!Especially killing this kind of person, it's not worth it!"
The conversation continued in the foyer, and Evan saw Harry stop Sirius.
They decided to hand Peter Pettigrew over to Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic to get him the price he deserved. Then, Ron, who had been standing in the corner, began to walk towards Peter Pettigrew, who had collapsed to the ground, and Evan knew what was about to happen, and he wanted to stop Ron, but he didn't know what to do.
He had to be careful not to be seen.
Evan hesitated for a moment, giving up his intention to act, he had to act within the limits of the rules, and if something unexpected happened, then there would be irreparable consequences.
There have been countless times in history when similar things have happened, wizards have confused in terms of time, they have attacked their sudden appearances, and many people have gone insane because of this, mistakenly killed their past selves or future selves, and even caused time and history to be distorted.
You can't change time, it's one of the most important laws of the wizarding world.
If you want to catch Peter Pettigrew, you still have to find a way in the Forbidden Forest, and Evan is ready to wait until Peter escapes into the Forbidden Forest.
He glanced at Snape again, then turned and jumped lightly onto one of the ledges and slipped out of the castle.
By the darkness of the night, he slipped down the lawn in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
Evan Animagus is a black cat in his form, and the sky outside is dark enough to be fearlessly discovered. Even if you accidentally find it by someone in the foyer, you can only see the hazy shadow of a small animal flashing through the grass.
Lying in the grass next to the Forbidden Forest, Evan did not rush into the Forbidden Forest, he saw Peter Pettigrew holding Ron hostage and walking out of the castle, they quickly approached the direction of the Forbidden Forest, Peter Pettigrew had the excitement of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and the originally dull expression on Ron's face suddenly became painful and distorted.
Evan knew that Ron was about to break free from the Imperius Curse.
Right next to the grass where he was hiding, Ron suddenly rebelled violently.
He gripped Peter Pettigrew's right hand, which was missing a finger, and struggled with all his strength to snatch his wand.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ron cried out against Peter Pettigrew, "I'm sorry, Harry, I'm sorry, Aven, I'm sorry, Hermione, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you, I shouldn't have disbelieved you, look at what I've done."
"Damn, shit, what are you doing?!" Peter Pettigrew screamed, frantically chanting incantations and waving his wand to stop Ron.
Hiding in the grass, Evan quickly pounced, passing under Peter Pettigrew and tripping over him, interrupting Peter's spell casting.
Bang!
Peter and Ron Pettigrew fell to the ground with a heavy blow, splashing up large clouds of dust.
Evan saw himself, Harry, Hermione, and Blake approaching quickly, and he hurried back into the grass next to him.
Next, Peter Pettigrew will be cornered and use the powerful evil black magic. Evan knew that there should be nothing to do here, and he had to go into the Forbidden Forest in advance to lay in ambush, wait for the rabbit, and wait for Peter Pettigrew.
By the way, there are also those painful eight-eyed spiders waiting for him to deal with. (To be continued.) )
