Hogwarts Homecoming

Chapter 298: Choice

Professor Lupine's friend?

Harry froze for a moment, he subconsciously wanted to look at Lupine, but when his eyes moved up, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the expressions of Ron and Hermione, they both had expressions of frozen breathing, as if they had seen a ghost .

"What's going on, you know this guy?"

"He is Greyback, the leader of the werewolves. I have seen the wanted photos of the Ministry of Magic in the book."

Hermione's voice was shaking as was her body.

That is, a notorious criminal? Harry instinctively thought of it, but judging from Ron's terrified expression, it seemed that it was not that simple.

"Don't tell me you don't know Greyback, Harry--" Ron said coldly, not even daring to look at the man, looking down,

"Greyback is particularly cruel. He likes to deal with those underage children, but instead of eating them, he turns those children into the same kind by biting them. He uses this method to expand his power."

Harry froze, turned into a werewolf?

A cold air rushed to his forehead from his stomach, and in a blink of an eye, fine drops of cold sweat appeared on Harry's forehead. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he was to be turned into a werewolf, Dursley Don't even think about staying with the family, he can only wander around the world.

"As Ron said—" Professor Lupine said bitterly with his back turned to them, "that's why I became a werewolf."

"What do you want, Greyback!"

Hagrid roared angrily, "Warning Hogwarts and the centaurs at the same time, you know, if you dare to do this, Dumbledore will not let you go!"

"Oh, why do you think so?"

Greyback's voice sounded very smooth, but his eyes were always cold,

"We're very sensible, aren't we, Hagrid? Over the years, we haven't hurt those little fools who sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, and we haven't messed with the horsemen either. Werewolves have always been good neighbors, haven't they?"

Looking at the posturing Greyback, Lupine took a deep breath and asked with a cold face,

"Then what is the purpose of your presence here tonight, Greyback?"

"People who betray their fellow countrymen are not qualified to talk to me."

Greyback snorted contemptuously, and he glanced at Lupin, his eyes with vertical pupils showed a malicious light.

"State your purpose, Greyback."

Snape said in a moaning tone, and even the three of Harry could hear the danger in his tone.

"You've been doing pretty well under old man Dumbledore's protection all these years, Severus—"

Greyback didn't seem to notice the aggressiveness in Snape's question at all, he sneered slowly,

"And we've been hiding and lingering on the trail of the Ministry of Magic, why haven't you thought of taking care of your old friend, Severus, after all, we've worked together before—"

Harry couldn't help giving Snape a disgusted look.

There were rumors in the school that Snape was once Voldemort's minion, but now, this rumor was confirmed.

"Either make it clear, or get out of here, Greyback!"

Surrounded by a large group of werewolves, it is impossible not to be nervous, especially since Harry and the others are still here, if these little wizards are injured tonight, it is unimaginable that Dumbledore and Hogwarts will suffer What kind of criticism, Hagrid growled in a low voice, and the angry appearance of a twelve-foot-tall behemoth really gave people an unusual deterrent, Greyback slightly restrained his posture, and smiled coldly,

"An old friend wrote us a letter saying that tonight we will meet someone here tonight whom we've been looking forward to seeing day and night—"

Gregg looking for Blake?

This was the thought that instinctively popped into Harry's head, but then, he realized that something was wrong, the person who wrote the letter definitely had malicious intentions.

"Maybe Scabbers—"

Hermione said quietly.

When the matter developed to this point, it was completely out of the hands of the little wizard. The three of Harry could only stay quietly in the protective circle and wait and see the development of the situation.

"--but I think we've been deceived,"

Greyback's tone was cold,

"I took my compatriots to search the vicinity, but I didn't find the person we wanted to kill, but accidentally saw a good show--"

Lupine was about to say something, but Greyback suddenly pointed his eyes at Sirius, and went on,

"Perhaps, this is a gift from a well-meaning person. You know, the life of werewolves is very difficult, and there are not many opportunities for us to get fifty thousand gold galleons—"

Sirius was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed a murderous look.

"Werewolves don't want to be enemies of Hogwarts, Hagrid—"

Greyback put his hands behind his back with no expression on his face, and gave a command to the werewolves hiding in the darkness, and then pointed at Sirius and Remus with his shining silver finger,

"Give us Black and this traitor, and then you can leave with the others, Hagrid."

Hearing this request, Snape's eyes moved, and he squinted at the two named by Greyback, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth

"A reasonable request, I think it can be satisfied, then, what do you two say, now is the time to reflect the heroic and fearless spirit of sacrifice—"

Harry thought that Professor Lupine and Black would definitely reject such an unreasonable request, but unexpectedly, after he looked at each other, Lupine actually said with a sullen face,

"If we stay, are you really willing to let them go, Greyback?"

"Professor Lupine!"

Hermione changed back to her original address, and she exclaimed in disbelief,

"You can't make deals with werewolves, they can't be trusted. Oh, sorry, I mean, they can't be trusted with werewolves."

Maybe it's because Hermione started calling him Professor again, Remus looked happy and said with a gentle smile,

"You don't understand the situation, Miss Granger."

"No, Remus!"

Hagrid also said roughly,

"Professor Dumbledore will not agree with your decision, we have to go back to Hogwarts together!"

It wasn't just Harry and the three who were surprised by Remus' decision, Snape was also included. When he heard that Remus and Sirius really stayed willingly, the joy on his face disappeared, and his expression turned very ugly.

"So, how did your discussion go?"

Greyback admired his metal hand against the scarlet moonlight, and said impatiently, to be honest, according to his wish, none of these people would try to run away tonight, but the werewolf also has enemies that he cannot afford to provoke. , if he really did this, I'm afraid he can only take the whole tribe and move out of Europe.

"Hagrid, we have to make sure Harry and the others are safe."

Lupine said emphatically.

"No!"

Harry yelled fiercely. He obviously realized that if Professor Lupine and Black were really left here, then they must be in trouble.

"If we want to go, we must go back together!"

"You're as brave as your father, Harry."

Sirius blew his nose and said sentimentally,

"But Remus is right, you should leave, this group of werewolves is not something you guys can handle."

The decision between Sirius and Remus made Hagrid hesitate a bit. It's not that he didn't know the importance, but he also knew that if Remus was left here, the group of werewolves would definitely not let Remus have anything. Good end, and Sirius must be killed. They will give his body to the Ministry of Magic for a bounty. The Ministry of Magic also hopes that Sirius will die as a criminal rather than a wronged hero.
