Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 249 Snape's Resentment
Following Fudge's order, a row of Aurors standing behind him stood up in line, raised their wands and began to charge towards Whomping Willow.

The Whomping Willow moved very slowly in winter, and the huge branches were thrown towards them like a whip. It seemed that the movements were not large, but the twigs at the ends of the branches made a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.

"All protection!"

The Aurors shouted the spell in unison, and a layer of fluorescent protective shield suddenly appeared, resisting the attack of the Whomping Willow.

They formed a trapezoidal formation and began to sprint at full speed towards the trunk of the Whomping Willow.

The closer you get to the trunk, the more violent the Whomping Willow will be.

I saw it twisting its body crazily, and the branches all over the sky turned into afterimages, but it could only make a crackling sound like raindrops falling on the protective cover, and it couldn't hurt the Auror inside at all.

But the Whomping Willow didn't care, it still twisted its body crazily, even though many branches on its body had fallen off due to its excessive movements, it didn't hesitate.

The corner of Fudge's mouth twitched slightly in the distance. He didn't mean that he felt sorry for this internationally protected creature, but that once this matter was exposed, the tabloids would definitely make a fuss about it again.

He can even think of the headlines in the newspapers at that time!
"Shock!Secretary Fudge has nothing to do with international law!Indiscriminately harming internationally protected creatures! "

But now that he has no other choice, he can only hope that the Aurors can discover the mechanism of the secret passage as soon as possible, and try not to cause too much damage to the Whomping Willow.

It was as if the sky had heard the voice in his heart, and with the burst of cheers coming from the front, the violent Whomping Willow fell silent in an instant.

"Report! We found a secret passage!"

"Very good! Go in and check!"

There was a smile on Fudge's face, Snape's information was correct, there was indeed a secret passage hidden underneath.

"Mr. Minister, please allow me to go and investigate!"

Snape's iconic hoarse voice came, and Fudge showed a strange look on his face, and said with a smile:

"Professor Snape, it's too dangerous inside. I think it's better for you to stay with me. After all, you have made such a great contribution. If you, a hero, risk your life to explore the secret passage This is too much."

Fudge dares to swear, he has hinted clearly, in his opinion, Snape's active helping them is nothing more than wanting to gain glory, but he doesn't need to risk himself at all, just sit and earn the credit just like himself It's what smart people do.

It's a pity that Snape didn't seem to intend to accept his suggestion. His expression gradually became ferocious, and he said, "I have a big grudge against Black! If possible, I want to catch him with my own hands!"

Now Fudge was speechless, he looked into Snape's eyes, and nodded affirmatively after a while.

Snape who got the permission didn't speak either, and went straight into the tunnel.

After entering the tunnel, there was a rare smile on the corner of Snape's mouth, and he began to get excited.

He still remembered the scene when he was tricked by Black into the Whomping Willow attack range in order to follow the Marauders, and was almost beaten to death by the Whomping Willow. Now, after so many years, he finally entered this secret passage.

"Report, traces of animals crawling were found in the passage, after testing, it should be the footprints of cats and dogs!"

"Keep going!"

"understand!"

The Aurors in front were reporting to their captain, and after the report, they began to move forward quickly.

The tunnel was very wet and dirty, full of mud and roots from the Whomping Willow.

Snape was still wearing his iconic robes, which made it very inconvenient to move in this passage, and would be stained with mud at every turn.

But Snape couldn't care about it at all at the moment, he followed the Auror team in front of him and walked quickly, and after an unknown amount of time, he came to the exit.

He froze as he walked up the dirty exit stairs to the Shrieking Shack.

What appeared before his eyes was a clean and tidy room with a lot of brand new furniture.

The afternoon sun came in from the windows, shining on the reflective wooden floor, making the whole room golden.

Snape's fists were clenched tightly, he was almost certain that Black had once been hiding here, otherwise how could a room that had been abandoned for a long time have such a new decoration!

"Where did he go!"

Snape grabbed the Auror captain by the collar and roared.

The small captain was frightened by the ferocious expression on Snape's face, he stammered and said, "No... not here, according to the traces, it seems to have gone to the east..."

Before he finished speaking, Snape turned into a black mist, broke through the window and flew out.

The squad leader glanced in shock at the direction where Snape disappeared, and after a while, he spat fiercely towards that direction.

And Snape didn't realize it, at this moment he was flying towards the east at a high speed.

To the east of the Screaming Shack was a wilderness. As soon as Snape looked down, he could see many Aurors searching in his direction, but their speed was too slow compared to his, Snape It whistled and flew over their heads, causing bursts of exclamation.

After an unknown amount of time, Snape no longer saw those Aurors in his field of vision.

At this time, a black dirty black dog also appeared in his field of vision.

Snape looked at it and saw that it was struggling forward in the wilderness overgrown with weeds. Based on the principle that it would be better to kill the wrong one than miss it, Snape shot a Bone Crushing Curse at it without even thinking about it.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp finger snapping sound, and Shuke, the house elf, suddenly appeared, using magic power to pull Blake violently, making him avoid the end of turning into a puddle of minced meat.

The red light hit the ground and made a big hole in the ground.

Black was taken aback by this sudden change, and after he realized it, he immediately faced Snape in mid-air, making a mouth-to-mouth gesture.

Snape's cold eyes glanced back and forth between Black and Shuk, and after a while he asked, "Whose house-elf are you?"

Shuke was trembling all over and looked very scared, but his teeth were clenched tightly, and he tightly protected Black behind him.

Seeing this, a possibility suddenly appeared in Snape's mind, and he pointed his wand at Black.

I saw the big black dog with messy hair suddenly howled like it was being held tightly by a pair of big hands. At the same time, his body was twisting crazily, the hair kept shrinking inward, and the flesh and bones began to swell. It became a middle-aged man.

Snape opened his mouth in surprise, but then the expression of surprise changed to ferocious again.

"Blake!"

Snape's voice was distorted due to excitement. Blake, who was lying on the ground panting, looked up at Snape who was eager to try, then turned his head to look at Shuke who was also trembling, forced a smile and said :
"How long will it take for your master to arrive? If he is later, we may be finished together."

"I... I don't know, the communicator has failed, and I can't contact the master at all!"

"Hehe, it looks like the Aurors have also cast a confusion spell on this area. Your garbage alchemy communicator is useless, throw it away!"

After finishing speaking, Black opened his chest in mid-air and roared angrily, "Come on! You stinky snot!"

"I really didn't expect you... You are an Animagus, and your transformation is a dog! Hahaha! This is really in line with your status, a mangy dog!" Snape fell to the ground and said with a wild laugh, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will hand you over to the Ministry of Magic, the dementors in Azkaban hate you so much, they won't mind giving you a kiss!"

After saying that, Snape raised his wand and pointed it at Black.

However, before he could release the spell, a translucent spell flew from a distance and rushed towards Snape.

"boom!"

Snape's reaction was very quick, and with a backhand swing of his wand in his right hand, he smashed the incoming spell into pieces.

"who is it!"

Snape let out a stern roar in the direction of the curse, and then saw Mike and Lupine approaching from afar.

As soon as he got close, Lupine yelled at Snape in rough clothes: "Snape! Black is innocent. It was Peter Pettigrew who killed Lily. Peter is still alive..."

I have to say that Lupine still has some wisdom. He knows that Snape is anxious to kill Black not because they have bullied him, but because Black killed his lover Lily.

But he ignored the current environment. Lupine directly stated the fact that Snape liked Harry's mother in front of Mike, a student, which made Snape extremely embarrassed.

Angry and angry, Snape waved his wand at Lupine and Mike regardless, and cursed at the same time:
"Lupine! Mike! You two attacked the professor. I think you are Blake's accomplices!"

Seeing this, Lupine hid Mike behind him, and raised his wand high in an attempt to block Snape's attack.

The three curses issued by Snape formed a long beam of light in mid-air, and hit Lupine's shield in an instant.

Then there was only an explosion, and the shield was shattered, and Lupine himself flew upside down.

Mike, who was hiding behind Lupin, shook his head. Lupine's strength was really bad, and his bumpy and wandering life all year round made him have no time to continue to think about the improvement of his own strength.

This caused his strength to be 01:30 worse than Snape who had been staying in Hogwarts.

Snape didn't want to kill them at all. He didn't use any too advanced spells just now, just three times to kill Lupin.

"It looks like I have to do it myself!"

Thinking of this, Mike took out a long sword shining with golden light from the bag of the Untraceable Stretching Curse, and confronted Snape with a wand in one hand and a sword in the other.

Snape couldn't help laughing when he saw Mike's appearance of wanting to fight him. In his opinion, a third-year student like Mike who wanted to fight him was looking for death, even if Mike was from Hogwarts The same goes for dueling champions.

Not to mention the difference in strength between the two, even Snape with combat experience is far behind Mike by a large margin.

You must know that Snape was a Death Eater back then, and he was one of Voldemort's most powerful subordinates. There are countless wizards who died under his wand.

And what about Mike?Duel champion?
This title was a complete joke in Snape's eyes.

Actual combat is not a duel. In the eyes of a top expert like Snape, Mike's duels are almost like children's fights.

Snape just wanted to laugh a few words, but before he could open his mouth, Mike flicked his wand, and an invisible spell was released.

"Shen Feng has no shadow!"

The Shenfeng Shadowless Curse has no trace of casting at all, and the firing speed is extremely fast, and ordinary people cannot guard against it at all.

However, Snape is the creator of Shadowless, and there is no one in this world who understands this curse better than him.

I saw him wave his wand vigorously, without even reciting the spell, just relying on the magic power condensed on the wand to disperse Mike's sharp edge without a shadow.

"How dare you! Attack me with a spell I created!"

Snape roared crazily towards Mike's position, the series of events today had made his emotions completely out of control, and he couldn't maintain Occlumency anymore.

But when he calmed down, he found that the place where Mike was originally standing was already empty.

Suddenly, Snape felt a killing intent coming from behind him.

It turned out that Mike's sharp attack did not intend to hit Snape at all. He was sure that Snape would be furious when he saw him use this spell, so he deliberately used it to attract attention.

While Snape was distracted, Mike quietly activated the Wind Speed ​​Curse and Disillusionment Curse.

During this period of time, Mike has not let go of his physical exercise, which makes Mike's physical fitness better and better.

And this strong physical quality also makes the effect of the Wind Speed ​​Curse more and more perverted. Now Mike's speed under the Wind Speed ​​Curse is really fast to the point where you can't see it clearly if you don't pay attention.

Ever since, under the blessing of these two spells, Mike took the golden sword of victory and oath and turned into a phantom completely, and rushed to Snape's back to strike a heavy slash!
Mike didn't stay strong in this attack. In his opinion, if a master like Snape couldn't even deal with this situation, then his death would be for nothing.

And things went as he expected.

When the Sword of Victory and the Oath was about to hit Snape's head with the sound of breaking wind, the wand in Snape's hand suddenly made a series of sounds like firecrackers exploding. Immediately afterwards, Snape in front of Mike disappeared. The traces, the swords of victory and oath also slashed fiercely on the ground, stirring up a large amount of dirt.

"Shape-changing?!"

Mike murmured instinctively, and it took only a moment for him to get a general idea of ​​what happened.

Sure enough, the next moment, Snape's voice of chanting a spell came from not far behind him.

"Shen Feng has no shadow!"

An invisible blade swept across, easily tore through the shield that was automatically released by the duel champion badge, and slashed firmly on Mike's chest.

Immediately, a terrifying cut mark appeared on Mike's chest, and he was also sent flying by the shock wave carried by the spell.

Large streams of blood sprayed out from Mike's chest like a fountain, instantly staining a large piece of withered grass red.

And a little further away, Black and Lupine, who had witnessed everything, shouted in unison:
"Mike!"
