Chapter 123

Just as lupin, who turned into a werewolf, fiercely rushed to Maka again, Maka retreated and steadily pointed the tip of the wand to the ground between lupin and him.

"To pieces!" "bang!"

With the explosion, large pieces of mud and stones mixed with turf splashed, and lupin, who was rushing towards him, was shrouded in it.

Although the momentum is very strong, it obviously will not cause any harm to the werewolf. Such acts seem to be superfluous.

But at the next moment, Maka pointed his wand in Lupin's direction - more accurately, he aimed at a large mass of mud that hit Lupin's arm!

What is he doing?

If someone is watching at the moment, there must be such doubts. It's just a pity that there is no audience here. No one can see the magic spell application skills he wants to show next.

The lump of mud deformed in mid air, quickly wound around Lupin's left arm and turned into an iron ring with metallic luster.

"Float off!"

This was the last spell. Maka controlled the iron ring and directly let Lupin's feet off the ground. Then he threw his wand violently, and the iron ring dragged lupin to fall at Maka's feet.

Maka, who had been waiting there for a long time, raised the syringe firmly held in her left hand, stabbed it smoothly on the side of Lupin's neck and pushed the medicine into his body.

This is a beautiful combination application of magic spells. Each magic spell is closely connected with the next one. It is fast and accurate. It skillfully weakens and avoids the effect of the direct effect of the magic spell on the werewolf.

However, the type and power of the magic spells used did not exceed the scope of ordinary students. In theory, any senior student in Hogwarts can do it.

Lupin, who was injected with medicine, was still struggling, trying to get up from the ground. After a while, he finally fell asleep.

It has to be said that werewolves have terrible resistance.

Seeing that lupin had calmed down, he had time to look at the castle, and then dragged lupin all the way to Hagrid's cabin with the floating spell.

Soon, he found black who had changed back to human shape under beating willow, but he didn't find any trace here.

"Where's Peter?" Marca asked Blake, who was sitting next to the secret way.

In fact, he had guessed roughly without asking.

"... he ran away again!" Black's eyes flashed with anger, and his dirty face was terrible.

Maka glanced into the secret road that had been opened, and there was nothing in it. Needless to say, black must have searched the scream shed, but he obviously didn't find it.

He turned his head again and looked at lupin, who was still sleeping. His eyebrows could not help but frown tightly.

Although Maka doesn't know when Pettigrew Peter escaped, it will never be now.

To tell the truth, he didn't care too much about it, because he had already decided to face Voldemort on his own strength - that guy would certainly come back. I'm afraid the result would be the same with or without dwarf Peter.

But now things still deviated from his expectations, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Although he has left behind, the inexplicable advance of Peter's escape time has added an unknown factor to the original plan..." Maka kept thinking in her heart and shook her head after a while. "Forget it, let's find out about lupin first!"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with dwarf Peter's escape..." he couldn't help thinking so.

Wolf venom medicine needs to be taken in advance. Now it won't work if you pour it down, so you can only wait honestly.

As for the weak period after returning to human form, it doesn't matter much.

At Marca's urging, black took lupin with him to the scream shed so that the searchers wouldn't find them.

It was not until the sky was bright that lupin gradually recovered.

"Professor Lupin?" "lupin."

Marca and black shouted at lupin who had just opened their eyes.

"Well... How..." Lu Ping understood himself just halfway through his words. "I changed again? And still... Didn't wolf venom work?"

He looked up in a hurry. He was about to ask something, but he saw black immediately.

"Sirius?"

Black nodded in silence as a greeting.

Lupin looked at him intently, with some suppressed emotion in his tone: "why did you come out, Sirius?"

Black had no expression on his face. He sat still. After a few seconds, he said dully, "I have to do something..."

Marca shook her head and said, "Professor Lupin, he came out to catch dwarf Peter."

"What?" lupin suddenly turned to Maka.

"Do you know Ron's pet mouse?" Marca asked back. "The one called speckle."

A trace of surprise appeared on Lupin's face, but that was all. It can be seen that in fact, he had already had some speculation in his heart.

"That is to say - but -" lupin turned back and looked at Blake intently, as if reading his mind. "Why didn't he reveal the truth before?"

"Unless -" Lupin's eyes suddenly widened, as if he were looking at something other than black, and his focus shifted to the air in front of him.

"Unless he's the one... Unless you... Changed it without telling me?"

Black looked up at Lupin's face and nodded slowly.

Despite his weakness, Lupin struggled to get up, walked to black, grabbed his hand and pulled him up. Then they held him together like two brothers.

"Friendship between men?" Marca touched her chin, revealing a thoughtful look.

They patted each other on the back and sat down separately. It seems that they need to have a good chat - especially about dwarf Peter.

"Professor Lupin," Maka said first, "I think before that, I have to understand the problem of wolf venom... Is the medicine bottle still on you?"

"It's in my office, but it hasn't been lost yet. Let's go and have a look later," lupin said. "In fact, I'd like to know what went wrong... I hope I didn't hurt anyone."

Maka shrugged and said, "no, you jumped out of the window as soon as the transformation howl was over. Then you ran towards me and didn't have a chance to hurt others."

"Oh -" lupin asked nervously, "are you okay?"

"Of course, I injected you with some medicine that can make you sleepy. There's no problem," Maka said, holding her hand, saying it's nothing.

Lupin had long been used to Maka's strange performance. When he confirmed that Maka was not injured, he couldn't help but bend his fingers and knock the iron ring still hanging on his arm.

"So, what did you do to me?" he couldn't help asking.

"You know, werewolf's skin has a strong anti magic effect, so... I can only rely on something else to bring you down," Marca explained. "Otherwise, it's really difficult to get close to a standing werewolf."

"... I really want to add some points for you." lupin said bitterly.

"That's not necessary," said Marca, standing up. "Professor Lupin and uncle black, you talk about the past here, and I'll go back to breakfast first."

Looking at the back of Maka's departure, they couldn't help looking at each other with a trace of wonder in their eyes.

……

Easter holidays are not really relaxing.

Third graders have never had so much homework. Neville seems to be nervous about breaking down, and he is not the only one.

"It's also called a holiday!" cried Seymour Finnegan in the common room one afternoon. "The exam is still far away. What are they doing?"

But no one is as busy as Hermione.

Even though she has stopped taking divination classes for some reasons, she still has more classes than anyone else.

In the evening, she is usually the last to leave the common room; The next morning, she was the first to go to the library. She already had a shadow under her eyes like lupin, and the endless busyness seemed to make her a little nervous, giving people the feeling of tears at any time.

Ron has taken over the Buckbeak case.

When he didn't do his homework, he was absorbed in reading thick files. The titles of these files were: psychological Manual of winged animals on the eagle head horse, poultry or monster?, study on the barbarity of winged animals on the eagle head horse, and so on.

Recently, he was completely immersed in it and even forgot to be fierce to crook mountain.

At the same time, Harry had to find time to do his homework after Quidditch training every day, not to mention discussing tactics with wood endlessly.

Incidentally, Gryffindor's game against Slytherin will be played on the first Saturday after Easter.

As for Marka, after he detected the sugar in the bottle of wolf venom, he already had a number in his mind - it must have been the hands and feet secretly made by dwarf Peter.

Although I don't know when and how he did it, the suspicion is almost clear at a glance.

Now, most of him has gone to his old master to show his loyalty - or simply to seek asylum. Who knows?

It's no use thinking any more. Maka decides to solve the matter of Buckbeak first. Although he missed a whole day because of the accident, it was not so urgent after all.
