Hogwarts: I can inherit the legacy of the dead - Chapter 241
In the dark room, fire burned on a headless body.
Sirius only had time to see half of his face under the hood before he passed out and his body gradually returned to its original appearance.
The three Harrys in the corner watched this scene absentmindedly.
It all happened so fast.
Boguna almost drove them all to death by himself, but the next moment, he turned into a headless corpse, and his death seemed very easy.
And the person who killed him seemed to have only used a magic spell…
Ron, who was standing in front of Hermione, glanced at the corpse in the fire again. He seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on his knees on the ground, gasping for air:
“It’s finally over…”
“This is truly a nightmare.”
This sound woke up Harry who was lying on the ground. He saw Sirius bleeding profusely and quickly crawled over to hold up his head:
“Sirius…”
“Sirius, wake up, wake up quickly…”
“Take it.” A bottle of magic potion was thrown over.
Harry took it in his hand and subconsciously looked up.
By the firelight, he saw a familiar face under the black hood.
He was startled for a moment:
“Is it you?”
He had actually seen the man who killed Boguna in front of him. This man claimed to be a friend of his parents. He helped him kill Professor Quirrell in the room of the Philosopher’s Stone two years ago, and he also fought alone against Voldemort, who was briefly revived with the help of Quirrell’s body.
Meka Anders lowered his head and looked at Sirius: “Feed him this bottle of magic potion. It can help him stop bleeding, relieve pain, and save half his life. He will have to be sent to the hospital later. This injury is not serious. Chi He might die.”
Harry groaned, quickly removed the cork of the potion bottle, and poured the potion inside into Sirius’ mouth.
Hermione and Ron also came over at this time, helping to support Sirius so that Harry could give the medicine more easily.
Hermione looked up furtively and whispered, “Harry, who is this person?”
Ron couldn’t help but crane his neck to listen.
Harry looked up at Meka, who nodded and smiled.
After receiving the agreement, Harry said: “The room of the Philosopher’s Stone two years ago was the one who really killed Quirrell and drove away the mysterious man.”
“Is it him?” Hermione suddenly remembered what Harry had confided in them when he was hospitalized that year.
She quietly raised her head again, and sure enough she saw the long, fiery crimson hair under the hood. She met a pair of eyes shrouded in darkness, and quickly lowered her head.
After all, this was a wizard who could easily kill Boguna.
Meka Anders saw Harry feeding the potion, and then turned to look at the headless body that was burned by the fire, but was suddenly startled.
The fire burned through the clothes of the corpse, and a dark sculpture was exposed. Bathed in the fire, this thing caused a vibration in his mind, making him realize that it was a relic.
Meka quickly took out the sculpture and put out the fire. Seeing that the sculpture was not burned, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put it in his arms.
He pointed his wand at the headless corpse again, and the fire exploded, instantly burning the corpse to ashes, then blowing the ashes away, restoring the scene.
After doing all this, Meka was about to leave, but heard Hermione say anxiously:
“What’s wrong, there is Peter Pettigrew’s body in the attic. If anyone sees it, Sirius will be a prisoner for the rest of his life.”
Harry was startled and stood up quickly.
It turned out that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Sirius? Wouldn’t that make me waste my time and hand him over to Sirius?
Meka thought for a moment and waved his hand: “I’ll just go and tell me the specific location.”
Hermione hurriedly revealed the location.
Meka looked at Sirius on the ground again: “As for Sirius’s injury, you go find Remus Lupin. He and Sirius were once close friends. Tell him what happened and he will take Sirius for treatment. ”
Without waiting for Harry to reply, Meka jumped out from the window sill, and suddenly turned into a black shadow and penetrated the sky amid the exclamations of Harry and others.
…
In the attic, the blood on the ground flowed slowly, flowing back from the threshold into the house.
The headless corpse of Peter Pettigrew in the corner suddenly stood up, and flesh and blood poured from his legs and feet onto his neck, turning into a head that looked like a mouse.
A black mist poured in from outside the door. He opened his mouth and swallowed the black mist whale with Boguna’s old face. Then he burped, and his face suddenly changed from pale to a little bloody.
He looked at the source of the black mist outside the door and smiled a bit:
“What a fool. He died without even doing a small thing.”
“You actually have such a wild idea that you want to share immortality with me…”
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the attic.
Looking far away, a black shadow suddenly fell in the night sky, and his figure suddenly grew, transforming into a tall young man with red hair and a shawl, and a serious expression.
He looked at the tall red-haired young man and said:
“It’s you.”
“Thank you so much for sending the soul of this idiot Boguna.”
“It tastes good.”
“Mysterious man?” Meka Anders’ heart sank as she looked at his completely different mental state from before, guessing that the injuries in his soul had greatly improved.
He asked: “Have you hidden it in Peter Pettigrew for a long time?”
“No.” The mysterious man shook his head and said, “I have been with Boguna, but then he seemed to have some objections to me, so I left.”
“He is too greedy. He always wants my most precious knowledge, so he is always on guard against me.”
“But he doesn’t know,” the mysterious man suddenly laughed,
“He had thoughts about me, and I had thoughts about him, so I made some tricks in his body and waited for him to die and eat his soul.”
“This kind of wizard soul soaked by time is hundreds of times better than those beasts. It’s really unforgettable.”
“That’s why I’m especially grateful to you…”
Meka’s brows furrowed as she heard this, and she quietly took out her wand from her sleeve.
The mysterious man saw his actions, but didn’t pay attention. Instead, he looked into the distance and said:
“Someone is here, it’s really lively.”
“Peter Pettigrew?” a middle-aged man’s voice asked in surprise.
Meka turned around, and saw a middle-aged man with gray temples hurried over from the corridor. He was wearing an old suit-like robe and had a short beard. He looked calm and capable. He was none other than Remus Lupin.
Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester.
He glanced at Mekka, then turned to stare at Peter Pettigrew, and said:
“What’s going on, Wormtail?”
“Didn’t you die more than ten years ago?”
“Your fingers are still kept by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. They say they are your remains…”
The mysterious man looked at him with a sneer on his face and said to Meka:
“Look, people here are so stupid. To this day, they still can’t figure out the truth of what happened more than ten years ago.”
“There is no benefit to you here. Why not follow me? I can help you become the richest person and the most powerful wizard in the world…”
Professor Lupine had already frowned, holding the wand in his hand, and he could already tell that something was wrong.
He asked: “If you are not Wormtail, who are you?”
“Why did you break into Hogwarts?”
The mysterious man seemed too lazy to tell him. Meka saw Professor Lupine looking towards him and said:
“Wormtail is dead. What’s inside him now is the Dark Lord who once started a magical war. You can also call him other names, such as…”
“The mysterious man…” Professor Lu Ping took a deep breath, his face became solemn, and he raised his wand and pointed it at the mysterious man:
“Thirteen years ago, you killed James and Lily.”
“Now, how dare you show up at Hogwarts.”
The mysterious man looked at him and smiled:
“I have killed too many people. I really can’t remember who the two people you mentioned are.”
“However, I am still recovering from my injuries. I have more important things to do next, and I don’t want to conflict with you.”
“Have you really thought about trying to stop me here?”
“Why not?” Maekar raised her wand.
Professor Lupine didn’t speak, but the light of the curse already appeared on the wand.
“Is that so? That’s fine…” The mysterious man opened his hand and suddenly laughed wildly:
“Then come on.”
His body suddenly swelled up, the waves of flesh rolled, the skin burst open, and frightening black lights emerged from it.
“Not good!” Professor Lu Ping exclaimed, and a white barrier suddenly appeared.
With a bang, the flesh and blood exploded into a mist of blood. The surging force directly blasted through the barrier, flipping Professor Luping’s figure more than ten meters away and slamming it onto the floor of the corridor.
At the same time, a black shadow flashed past.
Meka had turned into a bat and flew into the sky. He stared intently at the blood-colored air waves rolling below, not daring to get close.
The mysterious man looked at the embarrassed Professor Luping on the ground, and then at the bat high in the sky:
“Since you won’t stop me, I’ll leave.”
He laughed loudly, and his broken figure suddenly turned into a thick black fog and swept away.
When Meka saw this scene, she suddenly flapped her wings and chased after him.
But before long, he gave up.
The black mist transformed by the mysterious man suddenly dispersed in the air and disappeared into the dark night.
Not even a trace remains.
“After the mysterious man absorbed Boguna’s soul, he seems to be much stronger than the remaining soul from two years ago…”
“But fortunately, Peter Pettigrew’s body is left…well, at least half of his body is left here…otherwise his recovery would have been delayed.”
Meka looked back at Professor Lupine, who was holding on to the railing and gazing here. He stopped staying and turned into a black light and disappeared into the night.
…
“The mysterious man took over Wormtail’s body and appeared in Hogwarts…”
“An unknown wizard also appeared, and it seems that he has trouble with the mysterious man.”
Professor Luping looked solemn and stared at the place where the black mist had gone for a long time.
He turned his head to look in the other direction and sighed: ‘
’ “It’s a pity. If Professor Dumbledore was here, there might be a chance to keep him.”
“It just so happened that at this time, he was out.”
“Tonight’s matter is so big, I need to make it clear to Professor McGonagall first…”
Professor Lupine cleaned up the scene and turned towards Professor McGonagall’s office.
Halfway through, he was suddenly startled.
On the cobblestone path, boys and girls carried people and hurried on.
Professor Luping rushed over and frowned when he saw the man being carried with his long hair disheveled.
Then he looked at Harry and others who were busy and sweating profusely:
“What’s going on?”
“Why are you still out here so late?”
“Also, who is this person you are carrying?”
Harry was suddenly stopped and startled. He looked up and found that it was Professor Lupin he was looking for. He was surprised:
“Professor, you came just in time.”
“This is Sirius…”
“Sirius?!” Professor Lupin was shocked. “How did you meet him? Are you all okay?”
“We are all fine.” Hermione responded quickly:
“But Sirius is in a very bad condition. He lost a lot of blood and needs urgent treatment…”
Professor Lupin was startled and looked at the expressions of several people. They looked anxious and did not seem to have fought with Sirius.
He looked at Sirius who was placed on the ground and saw the white bones exposed on his back and half of his bloody internal organs.
He remembered that Peter Pettigrew, who was rumored to have only half a finger left, had just appeared in front of him. He was in good condition and only missing a finger.
He lowered his voice: “Tell me what happened to you tonight.”
Harry hurriedly explained to him everything that happened tonight, and finally he said anxiously:
“Professor, Sirius is innocent.”
“If it weren’t for him tonight, we would have died long ago.”
“You must save him.”
After listening, Professor Lupin looked at Sirius, who was unconscious on the ground, with complicated eyes.
He still remembered that when he heard that James and Lily died because of Sirius’s leak, he ran to Azkaban and took the opportunity to visit and scolded Sirius.
But at that time, Sirius did not refute at all, and looked silent. At that time, he thought Sirius was guilty because of betrayal and told on him, and he dared not respond. Now think about it, he should be a manifestation of despair.
A close friend died and was framed, but no one believed that he was innocent.
If it were me, I would probably be the same.
Professor Lupin squatted down and sniffed Sirius’ breath, then looked at the wound on the back of his head and said:
“You guys should hurry back to the dormitory. A lot of things happened tonight, and it might still be dangerous outside.”
“Forget it, just follow me. If any professor talks about it, just say you’ve been following me.”
He helped Sirius up and ran towards the school hospital.
…
In the Gryffindor dormitory.
A night light illuminated a corner of the bed, and Maeka took the black sculpture taken from Bogunner’s body in his hand.
He checked it and found that the sculpture was carved of a tall wizard in a robe.
But what was surprising was that the wizard had all the facial features on his face, but no nose, which was actually somewhat similar to Voldemort.
This made Meka stunned:
“Is this really Voldemort?”
“So, the owner of this relic is actually a loyal follower of Voldemort?”
He looked out the window, listened to the sound outside gradually subsided, and went to bed holding the sculpture.
In the dream, Meka read the life story of the owner of this relic, and felt a little amused:
“This person’s last wish was to become a follower of Voldemort.”
“To become a member of the Death Eaters?”
