Hogwarts Card System Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Feng Shui Suppresses Snape

“Ah!” Peter suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground, bouncing like a lively shrimp on the dusty floor.

The Cruciatus Curse was a continuous spell, so the green magical light remained connected.

“Who?!” Sirius shot a spell towards the door. The spell passed through the door panel without a sound.

The Cruciatus Curse didn’t even waver.

Lupin’s reaction was to cast a spell on Peter, hoping to block the Cruciatus Curse. But after casting two spells in a row, he also failed!

The intruder was incredibly powerful!

At that moment, the entire wooden door suddenly exploded, turning into countless splinters that shot into the room.

Sirius and Lupin cast defensive spells, but Peter, lying on the ground, was pierced by dozens of splinters.

However, compared to the mental torture of the Cruciatus Curse, the pain from these splinters was already blocked out.

A figure drifted into the room like a ghost, his black wizard’s robe billowing like a storm cloud.

Snape’s eyes glowed with a dazzling blue light, an extreme surge of magic. At this moment, he was like a magical bomb!

Compared to the “unambitious” Sirius and Lupin, Snape had made progress during his years as a professor, or rather, he had begun to completely overpower his old rivals.

Now, extreme negative emotions of anger and regret filled his mind and body, making his conviction sharp and almost tangible.

In this state, even if Dumbledore were to arrive, Snape could hold his own for a few rounds. Let alone Sirius and Lupin.

And Ted’s three years at school had indeed somewhat spurred Snape, who had shown signs of revitalization in all aspects.

Sirius cast two or three spells in quick succession, his casting swift and concealed, but Snape’s black robe billowed, swallowing all the spells without a trace.

At this moment, his appearance was as terrifying as a new Dark Lord!

Seeing that Sirius’s spells were ineffective and Peter Pettigrew was rolling on the ground howling, Lupin quickly spoke up: “Snape, Peter didn’t mean to betray James and Lily!”

Sirius also roared, “Damn it! Stop the Cruciatus Curse!”

Perhaps hearing Lily’s name, Snape seemed to regain some composure. His eyes still flickered with blue magical light, and he spoke in an extremely hoarse voice: “Unintentional? Heh heh~”

He forcefully flicked his wand, and the green spell violently twitched. Peter on the ground bounced around like a madly flopping salted fish.

“Kill me! Kill me! Sirius, kill me! Lupin, kill me!”

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I was wrong, I’m sorry~”

At this point, Peter was a mess of snot, tears, urine, and feces.

The Cruciatus Curse was a spell that directly harmed the spiritual core, and its effects were mostly permanent.

The pain was unbearable, and prolonged exposure would damage the soul. That’s why it was classified as an Unforgivable Curse.

At this moment, Peter would rather die.

He was already somewhat incoherent, with only strange roars coming from his throat.

Snape’s somewhat ethereal voice sounded again: “After Lily died, I investigated. This filthy rat had already defected to Voldemort several months ago, but at that time, only Voldemort and Bellatrix knew about it. The Prewett brothers died because of information he betrayed…”

The Prewett brothers were Molly Weasley’s two older brothers, both members of the Order of the Phoenix. They were killed by Death Eaters in an encounter.

“After Voldemort disappeared, Bellatrix contacted him and had him lead Lily and Potter into the encirclement…”

“Unintentional? Heh heh~”

“It’s a good thing you didn’t die! I still have a chance to avenge Lily!”

Sirius and Lupin immediately fell silent. Lupin even began to tremble.

Sirius suddenly remembered something and grabbed Peter’s hand, rolling up his sleeve. A faint tattoo of a skull spitting a snake appeared on the inside of his left forearm.

“You, you…” Sirius suddenly felt dizzy, blood rushing to his head, with only a roaring sound in his ears.

However, Peter could no longer answer him.

Because his will was too weak, his spirit too scattered, not to mention the adverse effects of being a rat for over a decade.

His soul was already damaged, and he had lost his will. Only faint twitches remained.

Snape’s face darkened considerably. He had just begun his revenge, but his enemy was in this state.

It was this filthy piece of trash that caused Lily’s death!

He waved his hand, and Peter’s neck split open halfway with a “splat,” blood spraying and almost covering the entire room.

What a magnificent, wandless, silent, instant Sectumsempra.

Snape stood at the doorway for several seconds, then looked at the two who were already somewhat numb.

Sirius and Lupin had endured too many shocks today. First, a friend who had been dead for over a decade suddenly resurrected, then possibly a traitor, then being helpless.

Then their old rival arrived, revealed the truth, and then killed him!

Heh heh… Why was all this so cruel?

Snape looked at the two with a hint of disgust. In this war of life and death, it was because they were such weak fools who treated killing as a game that Lily died so tragically.

Why did Lily follow such a group of fools?!

At the thought of this, his heart ached intensely. He unconsciously raised his wand and pointed it at Sirius and Lupin.

Lily died, why are you still alive!

Lupin sensed this and secretly became vigilant.

Just then, another voice suddenly came from outside the door: “Ah, what a twist and turn, one surprise after another. Good afternoon, Professors~”

Ted had arrived. If he hadn’t, things here might have turned into a huge brawl.

“Harry and the others are underground, being surrounded by a group of monsters. Fortunately, they’re quite strong and are now out of danger,” he said.

Indeed, at the mention of Harry, all three present showed a change in expression.

The tense atmosphere, where they wished to send each other away, dissipated.

…

At this moment, the小伙伴s had just emerged from the underground labyrinth.

After dealing with the Smokers, there was no longer any danger. However, the exit door had stumped them.

This was something Ted hadn’t expected. It was an old magical door left by the original owner over a hundred years ago, and it was quite difficult to open.

But he always used teleportation and never went through doors, nor did he plan for the小伙伴s to go through them—he would teleport them back whether they succeeded or failed.

However, due to Snape’s unexpected intrusion, he had to come to the rescue, and the situation there became a stalemate.

Hermione tried to dispel the magic on the door, but after five or six minutes, there was no progress. Harry, impatient, went up and struck it with a magic club!

Who knew the door’s counterattack would be even fiercer, knocking Harry back over three meters.

Hermione became angry and pulled out a dagger made from a basilisk fang, stabbing it directly into the door. The magic door made a strange “sizzle,” and all the magic on it broke and dissipated, the door panel also pierced.

Jerry was startled, staring at the long dagger: “Hermione, what kind of skeleton key is that?”

Hermione rolled her eyes: “Ted made it. It’s the Dagger of Universal Rune Breaking, made from a basilisk fang!”

Ron blurted out: “No wonder it looks so familiar!”

With the door broken, the group finally rushed out to the surface and saw the long-awaited sunlight, especially Ron, who was being supported by Neville and Jerry.

He had already been prepared to die, to buy his companions a chance at survival.

This was truly a narrow escape from death!

Just as Ted found the trio in the Shrieking Shack, the小伙伴s were also met by Malfoy, who had come looking for them.

It turned out Malfoy had come because he was worried when Harry suddenly went offline.

Ron, however, was picking a fight with him, and Malfoy, seeing him limping, also taunted: “If you can’t control your mouth, your leg will suffer sooner or later.”

Ron was furious: “He cursed me! He cursed me! Brother, are you going to help me?!”

Jerry turned his head: “Don’t move, I can barely hold you up. Can you lose some weight when you get back?!”

Ron: “No!”

It was a coincidence that it seemed everyone was active in Hogsmeade Village today.

The six hadn’t walked far when they ran into Professor McGonagall.

Turning the corner and encountering a professor, it was too late to avoid her.

Professor McGonagall looked sternly at the five who were covered in dust, as if they had just cleaned a chimney.

And Ron, with a dangling leg, being supported by two others…

She asked, “Excuse me, gentlemen and ladies, why is it that whenever something bad happens, you are always nearby?”

Ron made a strange face and mumbled: “I suspect their bad luck is affecting me~”

Everyone looked at him askance: If our luck hadn’t combined with your bad luck, you would have died countless times! Don’t you have any self-awareness?!

Jerry chuckled: “My brother, just count, has your leg ever been intact for a single year?! You need to reflect on yourself!”

…

The小伙伴s were sent back to the castle by Professor McGonagall, and the matter at the Shrieking Shack was also concluded.

Sirius and Lupin decided to secretly bury their former friend. This matter would no longer be brought up; they would simply say Peter died in battle back then.

Ted, meanwhile, helped Snape leave.

Although Snape seemed unharmed after taking several spells, scaring Sirius and Lupin quite a bit.

But wizards are not berserkers; how could he be truly fine?

However, Snape’s magical outburst at the time was truly fierce, and he felt no pain from the damage he took.

But he couldn’t hold on for long after leaving the Shrieking Shack—his leg was also injured.

However, at this moment, his face was expressionless, his eyes hollow, and even Ted couldn’t sense any mental activity from him, as if his brain had short-circuited.

This incident was also a significant blow to him, like tearing open a wound and licking it raw again.

They were all unfortunate souls.

Speaking of which, the Shrieking Shack really clashed with Snape.

He had secretly followed the Marauders, and almost got killed by the werewolf Lupin in the Shrieking Shack.

Twenty years later, this whole incident happened again…

Perhaps it was because Snape’s fate was that of “Great River Water,” but the Shrieking Shack was a “Wildfire Spreading” formation? So he never had a good time there?!

Ted began to idly calculate Snape’s fortune~
