Chapter 611: Ciri being sucked by the Dementors, warm light!
"Professor, isn't Peter Pettigrew dead? Also, how could Mr. Padraic and Ciri appear in the principal's office?"

Harry asked Professor Lupin puzzledly.

Lupin was silent for a moment, then said to him, "Maybe the map is wrong."

"It's too late, Harry. You have to go back. Remember, there is a man who escaped from Azkaban and is trying every means to find you. Your parents sacrificed their lives to protect you. Don't let them down. Protect yourself."

"I understand, thank you, Professor."

After thanking Professor Lupin, Harry turned and left.

Lupin stood in the hall, watching Harry's back as he left until he disappeared into the corridor.

"Mr. Padraic, come out. I know you are behind me. The Marauder's Map clearly shows your location."

After a while, Lupin turned around, holding the Marauder's Map in his hand, and spoke to the darkness behind him.

"What a magical prop! It can identify the name of anyone who moves in this castle."

Peter's voice came from the darkness, and his figure slowly appeared in front of Lupin.

"Perhaps you could explain to me, Mr. Padraic, why you are in the headmaster's office? You are not from Hogwarts, so I need to guess your intentions."

As he spoke, Lupin raised his wand and pointed it at Peter, ready to strike if anything went wrong.

Although it was the first time he met Peter, he knew that the other party was not an ordinary wizard.

The other party is not only the father of Raven, Tom, Loki and Mark, but also very powerful. Even Dumbledore admits that the other party's power is extraordinary.

"I don't think your wand will do anything, Professor Lupin."

Peter smiled at him and stepped forward.

Seeing that Peter seemed ready to take action, Lupin immediately chanted a spell, "Stupefy!"

However, before he could cast a spell at Peter, he saw Peter dodged the impact of the spell and swung his hands at him.

Then the wand in Lupin's hand flew out with a "whoosh".

Lupin was shocked and saw Peter appear in front of him.

Lupin, with beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at Peter in disbelief.

"You should hold your wand tighter, Professor Lupin."

Peter shook his head and spoke to him in a calm tone.

"What do you want to do? Mr. Padraic, this is Hogwarts. There are Dementors patrolling outside and many teachers inside. If you really have any ill intentions, I'm afraid you don't have any chance."

"Why would I do something bad, just because I appeared in the principal's office?"

Peter glanced at the moonlight on the ground and said to him, "On the contrary, in my opinion, it should be you, Professor Lupin, who has evil intentions."

"With such bright moonlight, aren't you worried that you will turn into a werewolf when you walk under it? I think the students of Hogwarts will be most threatened after you turn into a werewolf, am I right, Professor Lupin?"

When Lupin heard Peter say that he would transform into a werewolf, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"You...how do you know?"

"Not only do I know that you are a werewolf, Professor Lupin, I also know about your relationship with the murderer who escaped from Azkaban. You reminded Harry to be careful of the murderer, but your relationship is not shallow. Not only is it not shallow, it should be more accurately described as close friends."

"I even doubt that you are still in contact."

Peter shifted his gaze from the moonlit ground to Lupin's face. "Compared to me, Professor Lupin, who do you think is more dangerous?"

Facing Peter's questioning, Lupin's expression kept changing.

During the previous Boggart incident, he knew from the fear of Loki and Raven that Peter was not a simple person.

I didn't expect that the other party would directly tell me his biggest secret.

"I have no intention of harming my students, including Raven and Mark."

Lupin took a deep breath and spoke seriously to Peter.

"But you can't help yourself, Professor."

Peter shook his head and said to him, "But I don't really care about that, why don't we talk about Sirius Black, you know where he is, right? Professor?"

"No, I do not know."

Lupin, who didn't know what Peter was thinking and thought he would attack Sirius, said he was completely unaware.

"Don't worry, I just want to talk to him. I know everything that happened back then, and I have no intention of sending him back to Azkaban. After all, he is Harry's godfather, right?"

After hearing what Peter said, Professor Lupin's expression became more serious. "Do you know what happened that year? About Black being charged with murder."

"Of course, I am Raven and Mark's father, and I also treat Harry as my own child. I hope he has the right to know the truth. I can solve all this for him."

Peter tells the truth about Sirius Black.

Staring at Peter's seemingly kind eyes, Lupin was stunned for a while, then sighed slightly, "I didn't expect, Mr. Padraic, that you knew such a secret. Everyone thinks that Black betrayed Potter, but I know him, he is not that kind of person."

After confirming that Peter had no ill will towards Black, Lupin chose to believe Peter.

"I know he is hiding in the back hills. Maybe we can find him there. In fact, he hasn't had any contact with me since he escaped from prison." Lupin suggested going to the back hills to look for Black's traces.

……

Near the woods outside the castle, Ciri was waiting for Peter.

After obtaining the Sword of Gryffindor from the headmaster's office, Peter asked her to wait for him here for a while while he went to deal with some things.

Standing in the slightly cold night, Ciri looked up at the sky where the moonlight disappeared and was gradually covered by dark clouds.

A light drizzle began to fall from the dim sky, and a cold wind blew towards her.

"call!"

Blowing a breath into her hands, Ciri felt a chill enveloping her.

Logically speaking, her unusual physique would not be affected by cold or heat, and even if the weather was very cold, she would not be affected much. Why did she feel cold now?
Confused, she raised her head and looked towards the sky, only to see a black shadow floating across the sky.

Ciri's eyes fixed, and she immediately grasped the sword of Gryffindor that she had just obtained.

"Whoosh!"

A black shadow flashed through the woods in front of her.

Ciri looked towards the nearby lake and found that the lake was freezing quickly.

A group of dark shadows rushed over from the other side of the lake!
A dark shadow emitting a chill that touched the soul came over, covering the sky and the sun.

As the shadow approached, Ciri gradually saw the other person's face clearly.

The black shadow was humanoid, about 3 meters tall, wearing a black cloak, with only gray, withered hands exposed.

In Ciri's eyes, these dark monsters were like ghosts, without eyes and only a big hole at the mouth.

The monster seemed like a fungus that grew in the darkest and most humid places. A thick and cold smoke formed in its body kept approaching her.

Ciri raised the sword of Gryffindor and slashed at the attacking Dementor.

The invisible Dementor was chopped by the sword and turned into smoke and disappeared.

Ciri defeated the first approaching Dementor with ease, then dodged backwards, nimbly avoiding the Dementor that was charging at her head on, and then killed the Dementor behind her with a backhanded sword.

Although she didn't know what the monster in front of her was, Ciri, who had traveled in the Demon Hunter Continent for a long time, had a lot of such combat experience.

After killing several Dementors with her nimble posture and exquisite swordsmanship, Ciri retreated and used the rune given to her by Professor Peter to create a hurricane.
She engraved the runes on the sword of Gryffindor at an extremely fast speed, and then Ciri gritted her teeth and swung the sword violently with both feet.

A hurricane suddenly appeared and rushed towards the Dementors in the sky.

The strong wind accompanied by raindrops blew away the nearby Dementors, but soon the dense swarm of monsters surrounded her again.

After the besieged Ciri repelled the approaching Dementors, a Dementor from behind approached her face.

Ciri was caught off guard and was approached by the Dementors, and she immediately felt a chill surrounding her.

All the pain and confusion in my heart, and the unbearable memories of the past, all came to my mind in an instant.

In the blazing fire, the entire palace was burned down, the screaming crowd was driven away and killed by the soldiers, the blood dyed the ground red, and the flames burned everything.

Nilfgaard invaded Cintra, and all peaceful life was broken. Ciri, who lived with her grandmother Queen Calanthe, watched everything turn to ashes.

The massacre unfolded violently and bloodily before her eyes.

Queen Calanthe, the lioness of Cintra, refused to surrender and become a captive to be slaughtered.

Under her order, all the nobles in Cintra died heroically, with women killing children and men killing women. No prisoners were left, and Queen Calanthe jumped from the high tower.

A horrified Ciri watched countless women and children being killed and cried out in despair.

"no no"

The grandmother, who had always taken care of him and whom he regarded as the most important relative in his life, looked at him and jumped down from the building.

Blood splattered on her face, and the wailing and burning of flames outside the city spread all the way to the palace.

Her memory began to blur, and Ciri, who fell to the ground, gradually became weaker and more powerless.

The unbearable pain entangled her like a maggot attached to her bones.

Surrounded by pain and despair, she looked to the other side of the lake with blurry eyes.

A warm and warm white light suddenly came from the frozen lake.

It was as if the sunlight that dispelled all darkness illuminated the entire lake and sky.

Wherever the silver light shone, the Dementors screamed and fled.

"Pet-Peter!"

Ciri raised her head with difficulty and saw Peter's figure walking slowly towards her in the warm light.
