Chapter 242: Snape's Advice
Run!
Run fast!
What kind of person was this? How could such a person exist? To actually suppress Iron Claw in strength and snap Iron Claw's neck with one hand. Was this guy a humanoid troll?
Silver Fang had never run this fast before. Even when being pursued by Ministry Aurors previously, Silver Fang hadn't run this fast. This time he was truly frightened.
Bang!
Just as Silver Fang was fleeing forward, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, crashing into the ground in front of Silver Fang and creating a huge crater. The black shadow also shattered, blood and flesh splattering throughout the entire crater.
Iron Claw?
Although the corpse had been smashed beyond recognition, bloody and mangled, Silver Fang still recognized Iron Claw's identity from his clothes and build.
Just then, Silver Fang suddenly heard a loud crash behind him.
Turning to look, he saw Sean walking out of the crater created by his landing.
To this day, Sean's flying and landing remained a minor problem. Fortunately, his physical condition allowed Sean to recklessly free-fall, though it was somewhat wasteful of the ground.
Seeing Sean appear, Silver Fang immediately tried to continue fleeing.
But just then, Sean suddenly let out a light grunt. His body rapidly melted and twisted, transforming from that ordinary blonde man who looked to be in his early thirties back to Sean's original appearance.
Having returned to his own appearance, Sean then realized that when he drank the potion, he had calculated the time for returning to Hogwarts. But suddenly encountering these two werewolves, Sean had forgotten about the Polyjuice Potion. The effects wore off at this moment, returning him to his original appearance.
Overlooked.
What bad timing.
But it didn't matter. The other party would be dead soon anyway.
Gripping his wand, Sean walked step by step toward Silver Fang.
At this moment, Silver Fang watched Sean approaching him. He also recognized Sean's identity. If it wasn't their mission target, who else could it be?
"How is it you..."
Hearing this, Sean's eyebrow raised slightly, and his steps also stopped: "You know me?"
Just as the words left his mouth, Sean suddenly remembered the person they had mentioned needing to monitor in their earlier conversation. Suddenly understanding, he asked again: "Your target in Hogsmeade is actually me?"
Looking at Sean, Silver Fang suddenly realized that this Hogwarts student they thought they could casually manipulate, even wanting to capture and transform, possessed terrifyingly powerful strength. Such a person… he had to relay information about him to his king!
Thinking this, Silver Fang turned to flee.
But just as he lifted his foot to run forward, Silver Fang's body suddenly lost balance and fell directly to the ground. The next second, intense pain struck. Silver Fang roared lowly and looked at his legs, only to see that his legs had somehow been severed at the knees, with large amounts of blood spraying from the wounds.
Sean gently waved his wand. Seeing the other party about to run, he had directly used Sectumsempra to sever the other's legs. At this moment he was very glad that the other's magical attainments weren't high, so he hadn't learned Apparition. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be easy for Sean to keep him here.
"Seeing that you know me, your target should be me."
Sean walked before Silver Fang, looking down at Silver Fang lying on the ground. Under the night sky, a crescent moon hung behind Sean's head. His gray eyes appeared cold and indifferent in the moonlight. In Silver Fang's eyes, the current Sean seemed like a cold, merciless deity, making his heart involuntarily tremble.
"Tell me, who sent you here."
The clear, cold voice awakened Silver Fang. He looked at Sean, gritted his teeth hard, then suddenly raised his wand, wanting to make one last desperate attempt. But in the face of absolute strength, Silver Fang's counterattack had no meaning whatsoever.
A red light flashed by, and Silver Fang's wand flew away, landing at Sean's feet.
Taking a step forward and directly crushing Silver Fang's wand, Sean pointed his wand at Silver Fang and said indifferently: "You should know that in the magical world, memory isn't something solid. On the contrary, before some wizards, memory is the least solid thing."
"My king will come find you, and that will be your death!"
"I'll send him to reunite with you, I guarantee it."
"Ahh..."
Silver Fang opened his mouth and lunged at Sean, wanting to get in one last bite.
But before he could get close, Sean stepped on his body, pinning him directly to the ground. This step caved in his chest, shattered his bones, and caused blood to spray from his mouth and nose. Clearly Silver Fang wouldn't survive. Just as Silver Fang was in his final moments before death, Sean raised his wand and aimed it at Silver Fang's blood-stained head.
"Legilimens!"
Scene after scene played before Sean's eyes like a movie.
When Silver Fang died, Sean had just finished reading his memories.
Looking at Silver Fang, who had lost all signs of life, Sean stepped back and gently traced an arc with his wand, drawing out a thread of bright flame.
"Incendio!"
Boom!
Iron Claw's corpse, Silver Fang's corpse, and the two severed legs all burst into flames at the same time, quickly turning to nothing.
Having dealt with the bodies, Sean waved his wand again. More flames rose up, completely enveloping this area of wilderness in fire, thoroughly incinerating everything here without leaving the slightest trace.
After doing this, Sean used magic to extinguish the flames. Only after confirming no sparks remained did black smoke swirl around him, carrying Sean's body up into the air and disappearing into the night.
When Sean returned to Hogwarts, it was already very late.
He silently returned to the Slytherin common room and was preparing to return to his room when he suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting in the common room. And the owner of this figure was the last person Sean wanted to see.
Severus Snape!
Quickly adjusting his condition, Sean said to Snape with an apologetic and fortunate expression: "Sorry, Professor. I've been feeling rather troubled recently, so I snuck out for a walk."
Snape stood up from the sofa and walked forward two steps, moving away from the shadows that had shrouded him. Under the pale green light reflecting from the window, he looked at Sean: "Sean, do you know the Prior Incantato charm?"
Of course Sean knew it.
But with Snape suddenly mentioning Prior Incantato, how could Sean respond?
Looking at Sean, Snape spoke again: "I don't want to know what you did, but there are many people who want to know what you did. In the school, in the Ministry, throughout the entire magical world. Such people are not few. You need to know how to deal with Prior Incantato!
Also, tomorrow at noon, come to my office and give me the thesis. Don't forget!"
