Chapter 177 Where Are We Going, Dad?
The round, bright and clear moon rose from the gray clouds, emitting a cold light, making the fields appear exceptionally white.
Afro, squatting under a tree treating her wound, looked at the cold moonlight shining on her arm, and a huge panic rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Professor Lupine?"
Lupin, holding his wand to send Snape out, looked up at the full moon in the sky. His dark pupils gradually turned into a deep green as the moon rose.
"Remus, my old friend, have you taken your medicine today?"
Sirius ran a few steps and hugged the trembling Lupin. Afro glanced at Snape lying unconscious on the ground and answered his question nervously.
"I'm afraid—no."
"What should we do now?" Ron staggered to his feet, dragging his injured leg. His trembling voice revealed the panic in everyone's heart.
"Go find Madam Pomfrey!" The calm Hermione immediately helped Ron up, and Sirius also restrained Lupin who was struggling in pain, wanting to drag him to the school infirmary.
However, it was too late.
Lupin, who transformed into a werewolf, was incredibly strong. He quickly broke free from his restraints, became taller, and his tattered windbreaker was torn. The werewolf's figure gradually became clearer under the moonlight.
A wolf howl resounded through the sky.
"Professor? Professor Lupin?" Afro took a cautious step forward and tried in a low voice to awaken the last bit of humanity in Lupin's heart.
"Afro, don't go." Ron supported himself on one leg and reached for the corner of the girl's clothes, ignoring the wound on his other leg.
Aphrodite responded with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a wolf's howl.
"Run!" Snape, who had fainted on the ground, woke up suddenly. Despite his headache, he opened his arms and stood in front of the four children.
Lupin, who had turned into a werewolf, swung a claw and hit them directly.
Just as the werewolf was about to bite Snape, a black shadow pounced from the side and knocked the werewolf to the ground.
"Sirius!"
Harry watched Sirius, who had transformed into a black dog, chasing and biting the werewolf. The huge disparity in the contest made his heart pound.
Snape, without his wand, still stood in front of the children, protecting them with his arms.
Afro looked at Snape who was protecting them. Time seemed to stop for a moment, and her heart felt like it was hit by something. It was not painful, but an indescribable dullness.
She seemed to see a different Snape, another side of him that was sarcastic.
Sirius was afraid that too much fighting would hurt Harry, so he led the werewolf in another direction.
However, Harry, who was also worried about Sirius, broke free from Snape's protective circle and ran in their direction.
"Harry!"
Avro also wanted to follow, but Snape, who had already separated himself from a child, held her arm tightly and prevented her from leaving.
This thrilling struggle did not last long. About half an hour later, Dumbledore and a group of professors arrived, carrying two unconscious people on stretchers.
----
The morning light shone through the carved windows, and the faint mottled sunlight sprinkled on the white bed. His wing-like eyelashes trembled twice, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Harry? You're awake." Afro noticed that the boy in the bed had woken up, and leaned over to use the back of her hand to measure the temperature on his forehead.
Harry, whose thoughts were still obsessed with the second before he fainted, sat up suddenly and held Aphrodite's hands.
"I saw my parents."
Aphrodite was stunned for a moment, but soon she remembered the plot. What Harry saw was just himself traveling through time and space.
"I should have believed you, but Harry—"
"I know, but I really saw it. They came to rescue Sirius and me."
Harry was so excited that he tried to describe the incredible scene, but he knew no one would believe him. But he was not wrong, his parents might still be there.
The guardian beast like him seemed to be still before him.
"Harry, let's take a rest first and then go find them, okay?" Afro helped Harry lie down slowly and tucked the quilt for him carefully.
Harry held Afro's wrist and felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at the girl who was busy doing things for him.
He really wanted to introduce Afro to his parents.
Hope they are still there.
"Will you accompany me to look for it?"
"Of course, we'll go when you get better."
Afro's hand was held and she had no way to leave, so she sat on the edge of the bed and gently patted Harry's chest through the quilt to calm him down.
"Now, you need to take a good rest."
"Where's Sirius?"
"Don't worry, Sirius will go through some procedures and then be released."
Dumbledore pushed open the door of the school infirmary and looked at the two young men who were pressed closely together with a smile on his face, the smile on his lips almost reaching the sky.
Hermione followed behind her and took out the food and put it on the table.
Dumbledore patted Ron's leg that was hanging in the air. The feeling from the wound made Ron, who had been pretending to be asleep, grimace in pain.
"What kind of punishment will he receive? Peter Pettigrew." Harry seemed reluctant to pronounce the man's name, and his voice became softer and softer as time went on.
Dumbledore gave them a meaningful look and walked towards them slowly. "Perhaps it will be the same as what happened to Sirius, or perhaps even worse."
"What about Hagrid? Will he come back? And my parents..."
The second half of Harry's sentence was drowned out by the loud ringing of a bell, as Dumbledore's attention was drawn to the swinging pendulum.
"Time is so mysterious. Countless secrets are hidden in time. I think Miss Granger will find a way."
Dumbledore raised his right hand and rubbed it in the air. "About three turns will do."
Along with his voice, the system prompt sound in Da Afulo's mind also rang out.
"Side Quest - Time Traveler: How cool it is to travel through time and space. Please rescue your friends in the past. Reward: 100,000 points. If the mission fails, 100,000 points will be deducted."
"Is your mission voice-controlled? That's timely!"
However, her complaints will not receive any response because there is no reason.
After Dumbledore left, Harry and Ron looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the purpose of Dumbledore's words.
Hermione didn't give Afro a chance to speak. She took out the necklace and hung it around Afro's neck.
After hesitating for a second, she included Harry in the circle.
"What is this?" Harry reached out to touch the golden pendant, but was slapped by Hermione.
"I guess that's the secret to Hermione being able to take so many classes at once."
The two girls smiled at each other. Countless words were expressed in their smiles, without the need for excessive explanation.
"Where are you going?" Ron, who was unable to move, propped up his upper body and shouted.
And his words and the flashback scene disappeared into time.
Countless conversations and figures flashed beside them, slowly freezing in the sunny, empty school infirmary.
