Chapter 127: I Believe in Him
Harry's gaze crossed Professor Lupin's shoulder, and he saw hundreds of spells flying in his direction at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The light of the spell was getting closer and closer, and Harry's eyes widened in horror, his face pale.
He had never faced such a number of spells before.
Harry was terrified, but when he saw Professor Lupin standing in front of him, as gentle and calm as ever, his courage suddenly rose from the depths of Harry's heart. As the oppression and fear of hundreds of attack spells dissipated, Harry realized he had to warn Professor Lupin to get out of the way.
"Get out of the way, Professor, get out of the way!" Harry screamed miserably, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Lupin was unfazed by Harry's shouts, and he turned his head back, not looking at the spell that was getting closer and closer behind him.
His body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth as if to say something to Harry.
However, transforming into a werewolf has deprived Lupin of the ability to speak, and he can now only make a strange sound.
Lupin gave Harry one last look and closed his eyes in resignation, the expression on his face full of pain.
Hundreds of spells were getting closer, the intense light was getting more and more dazzling, and the powerful oppression almost made Harry's eyes almost unable to open
Just as he felt hopeless, a huge dark blue shield appeared in front of them, blocking the incoming spell.
Hundreds of spell rays were instantly blocked, and ripples appeared on the shield.
It was Dumbledore's magic, and Lupin and Harry hurriedly opened their eyes. They saw Dumbledore break through the crowd and walk in behind him, with the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Hagrid, Aven, and Hermione.
All the young wizards stopped attacking, huddled together to let Dumbledore through.
Evan stood in the middle of the crowd and looked at poor Professor Lupin, as well as the pale Harry and Ron slumped in the corner.
"Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall looked at in disbelief as she covered her mouth with her hands.
Fudge and Professor Flitwick couldn't help but scream, and it looked like they might faint at any moment.
Hagrid looked worriedly at Harry and Ron to see if they were hurt.
Only Dumbledore, Snape, and Lucius were still calm, and Dumbledore's expression still didn't have the slightest wave, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
With a grim smile on his face, Snape looked maliciously at Professor Lupin in his werewolf form, while Lucius had a cold, contented sneer, his gaze roaming back and forth between Dumbledore and Lupin, as if he was plotting something.
Evan felt Hermione's cold little hand grip on her arm, her body trembling slightly, and he turned his head to give Hermione a reassuring look.
But Hermione still looked worried, she had just experienced a Greyback attack in Hogsmeade, and her memories of the horror of werewolves were still fresh.
Although she had known that Professor Lupin was a werewolf, she had never imagined that she would see the other party's werewolf form in this picture.
And the pale Harry and Ron beside him, both of whom had wands in their hands, could it be that Professor Lupin was attacking them, and were they hurt?!
Immediately afterward, Hermione spotted Ginny, who was crying quietly in the crowd.
She hurriedly let go of Evan and walked over to comfort Ginny in a low voice.
"The werewolf attack that happened inside the castle was not a surprise at all, and I knew it was happening from the first day of the semester. Snape whispered, a sneering sneer on his face, "I remember I reminded you of this, do you remember, Headmaster?"
Snape had spoken this to Dumbledore on Halloween night, and Evan remembered Dumbledore's answer.
"Of course, Severus!" Dumbledore said calmly, "If you live to my age, you will know that anything can happen in this world, and I am more confident in your potion level than this kind of accident, Remus took the wolf poison potion you concocted on time, right?"
"Of course, of course, he's completely harmless now, a tamed werewolf. Judging by Snape's expression, he was completely dismissive of such a statement.
"Good!" Dumbledore nodded quickly, turning his gaze to Harry and Ron in the center of the crowd, "Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, I hope you can explain to me what the hell is going on?"
"Professor, we," Harry said eagerly.
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Ron point at Professor Lupin and say in a dull, monotone voice, "This monster is attacking us, and he wants to bite me and Harry." ”
"You're talking nonsense, he didn't do it, he was" Harry looked at Ron angrily, he didn't understand why he was saying that.
But his voice was interrupted again, this time by Lucius Malfoy.
"Shocking accusations, I never thought the Hogwarts professor would be a werewolf!" Lucius said in an arrogant voice, "Moreover, he also attacked his own students on a full moon night, I am worried about the safety of the school, we must take immediate action, Minister?!"
"What did you say?!" Fudge was stunned for a moment before his shocked gaze moved away from Lupin in werewolf form, as if he had just reacted, and he said worriedly, "You're right, Lucius, I can't believe it either, the Ministry of Magic must"
"Connelly, we have to be careful before we make a decision, there must be some misunderstanding about tonight's events. Dumbledore looked at Fudge calmly, "I spoke to you about hiring Remus as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at the school before the semester began. ”
"yes, yes, you did talk to me, Albus!" Fudge twisted uneasily, he pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "But no one expected a werewolf riot, did I? It's not that I don't believe you, but in this situation, I think it's better for the sake of safety to prove that Lupin is absolutely safe"
"I can prove it!" Harry shouted, "I can prove that he is safe. ”
"Shut up, Potter, you don't know what you're talking about. Snape said with a look of disgust.
"Wait a minute, Professor!" Aven hurriedly stepped forward, "I think Harry is right, I also believe that this werewolf is safe, he is completely different from the werewolf we met in Hogsmeade, I trust him!"
