Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts

Chapter 95 You tell him to come find me! I'm waiting for him! (3k)

All the children in the tent were driven out.

They were forced to stand side by side by the werewolves, and Graybury found a chair and sat down in front of them.

"Originally, I wanted to complete the glorious transformation of all of you, but unfortunately, not all of you are qualified to bask in the moonlight."

His eyes scanned the seven children, as if admiring the terror and despair on their faces.

As soon as Lupin struggled to his feet, two werewolves pinned him back down and tied him up with ropes.

"Wait! Fenrir! Didn't you say that these children would become one of us in the future? You said the werewolf pack would grow stronger! So why are you changing your mind now and killing them!"

He shouted desperately, trying to persuade Graybuck to change his mind.

Previously, Lupin's biggest advantage was that Graybury's ultimate goal in capturing these children was to transform them into a part of the werewolf race.

But he had no idea what Graybury had gone through that afternoon that made him choose to get rid of three of his seven children now!

Lupin wanted to protect all the children.

Whether they are little wizards or not, regardless of who their parents are.

He felt that these young lives should not be harmed.

However, Graybury acted as if he hadn't heard him at all. He simply waved to his men without turning his head, signaling them to find a way to shut Lupin up.

Soon, a petrification spell was cast on Lupin.

Apart from his bloodshot eyes, which he could still move, he couldn't do anything else.

The camp fell silent again, save for the sobs of the youngest child and Graybuck’s laughter.

“Everyone knows that I am a fairly enlightened leader! I will treat you the same way; I will allow you to decide your own fate from within.”

"You seven have 10 minutes to choose three people yourselves. Otherwise, if I choose for you, I'll choose one more person for every minute I waste. If you still haven't made a decision by the time you've had 14 minutes, then perhaps next month, when the moon is full, we won't really need any new companions!"

The older children's faces were filled with panic, while the younger children, who were only six or seven years old, only felt fear and helplessness.

The seven children began to look at each other, while all the werewolves around them watched the show. They enjoyed seeing friends who had once shared hardships now fighting to the death.

But at that moment, a boy with messy black hair walked out from there.

His face was very pale, and his breathing was rapid; it was clear that he was terrified.

Even so, he still stood up and stood opposite Graybuck!

When Lupin saw the boy come out, his pupils constricted, his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, and he frantically tried to break free from the spell binding him, but he could do nothing.

"You, you don't need to hurt them."

Harry's voice trembled, but he met Greyback's eyes directly without the slightest hint of fear.

"I am enough for you, just me."

When Harry came out, Hermione instinctively tried to grab his arm, but Harry didn't give her the chance. She could only watch as Harry walked in front of everyone, her eyes filled with tears.

The other children also looked at Harry, while the werewolves around him laughed when they saw him walk out like that and say those words.

Greyback looked at the boy who had stood up alone with interest and said sarcastically.

"Who do you think you are? Harry Potter, the boy known as the savior of the wizarding world? What gives you the right to take the lives of three children?"

Harry just stared straight into his beast-like vertical eyes.

“My name is Dudley Dursley, and my teacher is Severus Snape.”

After he uttered that name, all the werewolves who had been laughing instantly fell silent!

The smile on Graybury's face froze for a long time, before his expression turned cold and ugly!

He jumped up from his chair, grabbed Harry by the collar, and pulled him close, so that Harry could even smell the stench coming from Greyback's mouth!

"Snape's student!"

He said coldly.

Harry was breathing heavily and nervously, but he didn't show any fear. He kept his eyes wide open, staring back at Greyback.

"My teacher beat you all so badly this afternoon that you had to run away in a sorry state, right?"

The children behind Harry couldn't believe that these words actually came from Harry's mouth!

They stared in shock at the audacious boy who seemed to have never known fear, and even the werewolves around them were incredulous.

How dare a nine-year-old boy, Snape's student, do this in front of Greyback!

Greyback grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed, sharp teeth. He grabbed Harry by the collar with one hand and stretched out the other.

"The Daily Prophet! Bring me a copy of today's Daily Prophet!"

His request was quickly fulfilled.

One of his men brought him a copy of today's Daily Prophet, whose front page still featured news from the early hours of the morning about how they had captured a family of three Muggles and were torturing them at sea.

The newspaper's second page was still reporting on what had happened two days earlier.

After the Wizengamor trial concluded, everyone was acquitted, and the novel that had originally been published as a magazine but had already become famous throughout the wizarding world will soon be bound, printed, and sold as a formal book by the publisher behind the Daily Prophet.

For this reason, The Daily Prophet conducted a special interview with the author, Elder Wolpe, and the picture accompanying the interview was a group photo of Severus and his group of five raising a glass together at a German restaurant on the day the trial ended!

Of the five, Harry, sitting next to Severus, was also holding up his orange juice, smiling happily and showing off his neat teeth. He was facing the camera with his eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Greyback slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, then looked again at Harry, who was standing close by.

He laughed, a hearty and unrestrained laugh.

"Hahahaha! Snape's students were already in my hands! No wonder he was helping the Ministry of Magic! He was so eager to bring people to me! It turns out he was scared!"

The moment he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed again, and he slapped the werewolf who had brought the newspaper to the ground!

"A bunch of useless idiots! You caught this boy yesterday, why hasn't a single one of you recognized him after a whole day! If we had known his identity from the beginning, things would have been very different this afternoon and evening!"

The werewolves all lowered their heads meekly, none of them daring to answer his question.

But soon Greyback's gaze returned to Harry, as if he were looking at a rare treasure, his eyes filled with greed.

"Don't worry, you little brat, you're incredibly useful. As Snape's student, you're far more useful than the others! I won't kill you. Even if they all die, I'll keep you here until the full moon!"

Harry's eyes widened, and his breathing became more rapid. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome after he had volunteered to step forward!

He struggled in Graybuck's grasp and cried out.

"You coward! The teacher beat you so badly you ran away like a stray dog! And all you can do is take it out on innocent people!"

"So what!"

Greyback laughed heartily.

"Do you think he would still acknowledge you if he knew his student had turned into a werewolf? Do you think he would still have the same reputation after I killed a few of his offspring and claimed that I did it under his coercion?"

Harry stopped struggling and stared at Greyback in disbelief. Still young, he couldn't understand how someone could be so shameless.

This infamous werewolf leader seemed to have no bottom line whatsoever; even within the Death Eaters, he was known behind their backs as "the carrion beast."

Because his behavior and style are completely out of character.

"Aren't you afraid, aren't you afraid my teacher will find you?" Harry's voice trembled as he uttered the last threat he could think of.

But even he could hear how powerless his threat was.

Greyback casually tossed Harry onto the grass, and immediately a werewolf stepped forward and pinned him down, preventing him from struggling.

He looked at the remaining six children and shouted in a cold and arrogant voice.

"Looking for me? I'm right here! If Snape is capable, send him to me! I'm waiting for him!"

The night was silent, and he burst into laughter once again.

However, just two seconds after his laughter rang out!

An invisible blade silently pierced the darkness of the night!

I felt almost nothing; it was like a slightly stronger gust of wind blowing past me.

No one reacted, neither the werewolves, nor the children, nor even Graybury, who was still yelling!

Until the spell struck the extremely arrogant werewolf leader precisely, the smile on his face seemed to be paused, freezing in an instant.

With his innate werewolf-like abilities and troll-like magic immunity, he was completely unable to resist this curse!

The next second, starting from his hips, his entire lower body began to detach limply from his body!

The gushing blood and a painful howl marked the end of the werewolves' feast in a crimson hue.

The scene where the werewolf was found earlier was criticized by the leader for not noticing Old Lupin's arrival, but it was revealed as soon as the protagonist appeared. The handling was indeed very rough; I was rushing to write 10,000 words a day. I'll take some time today to optimize that section and see if it improves the reading experience.

Chapter 96 Isn't this my nephew Remus Lupin?

Everyone present was stunned by this scene.

No one could figure out what had happened!

Greyback's lower body was neatly severed, and his upper body fell to the ground, blood gushing out continuously.

The extremely evil black magic continued to damage his body through his wounds, causing him pain. His miserable howls sounded like he was being tortured by a thousand cuts!

Lupin, who had been struggling and staring wide-eyed on the ground, was stunned.

He was certainly familiar with the spell, for this dark magic was invented specifically to deal with him! Or perhaps it was one of the four of them!

There is only one person in the entire magical world who can use it!

Only that one person could use such a spell to create such a terrifying cutting effect!

What Lupin found truly unbelievable was that, just a second ago Graybuck was shouting, the man actually arrived the very next second!

The children had no idea what was happening; they just screamed in fear, clinging to the nearest friend, too afraid to look at Graybuck's miserable state.

Harry, pinned to the ground by the werewolf, stared blankly at the scene.

He had never seen this magic before, nor did he know who had used it.

The other werewolf wizards only reacted after Greyback's pitiful howls rang out. They all drew their wands, but before they could even find out who the enemy was!

More than ten spells shot out from all directions at once!

Kingsley and his men burst from the shadows of the woods, brandishing their wands, and most of their spells landed on the werewolf wizards.

But a few werewolf wizards still managed to react, including the one who had pinned Harry down!

In his panic, he tried to grab Harry and use Apparition to escape immediately, but after reciting the spell, he did not disappear as he wished.

This land has been shrouded in anti-apparition magic, and Kingsley and his men had made thorough preparations in advance as instructed by someone!

This time, no one will be allowed to escape.

Just as the werewolf was about to use Apparition again in despair, a beam of crimson light suddenly struck him, freezing him in place and rendering him incapable of casting spells in response!

Harry finally found an opportunity to escape from the werewolf. He ran to the group of frightened children and loudly comforted them.

"Don't be afraid! Everyone, stay on the ground and don't move! Our rescuers have arrived! Our rescuers have arrived!"

He was brave and smart enough to know that the most important thing right now was to make sure the children didn't run around and get hurt.

The Aurors were quickly clearing out the werewolf wizards.

Although some people may think that the people in the Ministry of Magic are unreliable, for most wizards, being able to join the Ministry of Magic and become an Auror means being among the elite of Hogwarts' graduates throughout history!

Extremely important defensive spells like the Ironclad Charm are not commonly used by ordinary wizards, and even employees of the Ministry of Magic's non-Auror division may not know how to use them. However, becoming an Auror requires everyone to master them.

So, after Greyback, the werewolf's head, was taken down, the whole situation became one-sided.

In less than three minutes, the once noisy werewolf camp, filled with shouts and cries, fell silent once more.

All the werewolves were subdued, and only then did three figures emerge from the shadows.

When the flickering light of the campfire illuminated the faces of the three men.

Harry shouted excitedly!

"Teacher! I knew it was you!"

Hermione, her eyes still brimming with tears, stared blankly at one of the figures holding a spear, her voice murmuring as if she were talking to herself in disbelief.

"Dad, Dad."
