Chapter 278 Rescue

"Buckbeak!" Harry exclaimed. He didn't want Buckbeak to be injured by the werewolf Lupine. In his opinion, between the hippogriff and the werewolf, the werewolf seemed to be more aggressive.

However, Buckbeak's bravery obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Buckbeak immediately fell in front of the werewolf Lupine.

Buckbeak stood up, supporting the ground with his two hind legs, and flapped his wings back and forth.

Fanlin saw Buckbeak hit the werewolf Lupine on the head with his front paws. A bloody wound appeared on the werewolf's right eye, and Buckbeak let out a shocking roar.

Several people were stunned to see the Hippogriff fight against the Werewolf, and the result turned out to be the Hippogriff's victory. This was obviously something that no one expected.

"Don't... don't hurt him, Buckbeak..." Hermione shouted, "He can't control it. It's not his own will to hurt us..."

The werewolf Lupine seemed to be seriously injured. Sirius' claws caught his left eye, and Buckbeak did the same thing as Sirius in a different position. This was obviously not something that was good for him. He couldn't see clearly. Qing, especially the right eye, Buckbeak's blow was so cruel, it was not comparable to the claws of a black dog.

Werewolf Lupine began to panic. The loss of his vision made him want to retreat, and Buckbeak seemed to have no intention of letting him go. Although Buckbeak stopped attacking under Hermione's restraint, as long as werewolf Lupine moved, , Buckbeak will immediately raise his paw.

"Ouch..."

The werewolf Lupine seemed to be speaking harshly. He roared at several people, and then without any hesitation, turned around and left them, running towards the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to find his companions. The wolf is a social animal, and acting alone makes him feel insecure.

"Thank you, Buckbeak..." Fan Lin said, and he gently patted Buckbeak's sharp beak with his hand, which made Buckbeak's wings relax.

Buckbeak stepped lightly on the ground, as if ready to join the fight at any moment.

"Poor Professor Lupin..." Hermione said, ruffling the hippogriff's feathers with her hands.

"Yeah..." Harry said, "I think Professor Lupine must be having a hard time tonight. Both of his eyes are hurt."

"However, now is not the time to worry about Professor Luping. As a werewolf, he can take good care of himself in the Forbidden Forest..." Fan Lin said, looking back at the original hillside.

"It's us who should be worried, Harry!" Fan Lin said seriously, "The two of us have already gone after Sirius."

The surrounding air suddenly dropped in temperature. From a distance, Fanlin could see a large shadow in the sky, which was the dementor that attacked them.

These dementors gathered in the sky, moving slowly like a dark cloud. They passed over the heads of the three people, and then the treetops of the trees in the Forbidden Forest were covered with a layer of frost.

"It's a dementor..." Harry frowned. The dementor flew too high and his Patronus Curse couldn't stop it at all.

"Let's go there quickly, if anything happens..."

"You guys go first..." Fan Lin said, he frowned. Because Lupine left, Peter Pettigrew had already left the hillside. Fan Lin could feel that Peter Pettigrew's position was about to leave his perception range. .

"You two go over there, if there's anything wrong..."

"It doesn't matter, my father will save us two..." Harry said quickly, he still wanted to believe that it was the Patronus Curse released by his father.

"I hope so..." Fan Lin didn't want to say more. Peter Pettigrew was moving a little fast, so he had to hurry up.

"Okay, then let's meet up at the Whomping Willow then!" Fan Lin said, "I will be careful not to be discovered."

Fan Lin waved at Hermione and the two. So far, Fan Lin finally determined the reason why he did not show up. Yes, he went to chase Peter Pettigrew, but this was obviously not an easy job.

"Animagus!"

Fanlin's figure changed rapidly in front of Harry and Harry, and his figure became distorted, like a whirlpool.

However, this phenomenon soon disappeared and was replaced by a white ferret lying on the ground.

This was the first time Fan Lin used Animagus in front of Hermione. At the Shrieking Shack, his figure was obscured by the light of Ron's curse, which made Hermione unable to see clearly at all.

It was obvious that Hermione was very interested in Fanlin's Animagus, which could be seen from Hermione's wide eyes.

But now was not the time for Hermione to study.

Fan Lin squeaked twice as a farewell to the two of them.

"No, Buckbeak...that's not food!" Hermione quickly grabbed Buckbeak. Just now, this stupid hippogriff wanted to pick up Fanlin with its mouth. In its eyes, Fanlin was just It's a food, uh... living food.

Fanlin was shocked. He didn't dare to stay too long. Hermione didn't have the strength of Hagrid, and the girl couldn't catch Buckbeak at all.

Fan Lin rushed forward quickly. His speed was extremely fast. In the night, Fan Lin was like a white light, disappearing from the sight of the two of them in a flash.

"Let's go, too!" Hermione urged, still holding Buckbeak's rope in her hand.

"Okay!" Harry nodded, "Maybe you will be interested in my father!" Harry said, he untied the rope around Buckbeak's neck.

"Okay, big guy... should be more comfortable now." Harry said, he gently patted Buckbeak's wings, and then followed Hermione to the lakeside of the Forbidden Forest.

He had been there twice, once to visit Norbert, the majestic Norwegian Ridgeback, but Norbert had been put into a taming suitcase by Hagrid. When Norbert was older, Hagrid was considering letting Norbert go to the Forbidden Forest completely, but before that he had to teach Norbert a lot of things.

The second time was a few hours ago, when he, Vanlin and Sirius were attacked by Dementors in the Forbidden Forest. It was a terrifying experience.

As Harry ran, he remembered the situation at that time. He was the first one to faint except Sirius. Dementors favored him, and this was the case when he first encountered Dementors on the Hogwarts Express.

Harry shuddered.

"Fortunately, I have my father." Harry thought to himself. This was also the reason why he was keen to go to the lake. He wanted to see his father clearly, even though he was already... dead.

Suddenly Harry felt a little lost. He felt that his idea was a little unrealistic.

The trees were retreating rapidly beside the two of them, and the air around them became colder and colder. This was the work of the Dementors. They were getting closer and closer to the Dementors.

A little shining silver light came from the direction of the lake, but this silver light was soon swallowed by the night. It was the Dementors that surrounded them.

Only a glimmer of silver light could be seen in the air. They had to speed up.

Harry ran faster and faster, but the light of the Patronus Charm did not become brighter as he approached. On the contrary, the light became dimmer and dimmer. This was because his and Vanlin's magic power was constantly consumed.

However, Harry's heart became more and more unconfident. He was afraid that he would run over and there would be no one.

Hermione was left far behind by him. Harry heard Hermione's shouts, but he didn't pay any attention to them at all.

He had to see... He had to know... Harry's mind was filled with his father... If that man were him... He had to know, had to see... The lake was getting closer, but there was no one there.

On the other side, he saw a small silver glimmer - that was his imagined Patronus... There was a bush right by the water. Harry hid behind the bush, looking desperately through the gaps between the leaves. The silver glimmer on the other side suddenly went out, and he was trembling with fear... Any time now - "Come!" he murmured, looking around, "Where are you? Dad, come -"

But no one came. Harry looked up at the circle of Dementors by the lake. One of them was lowering its turban. The rescuer should be here by now - but no one came to help this time...

Harry was still waiting, he grabbed his wand anxiously.

Just on the other side of the lake, the past him had completely lost his magic power, his Patronus Charm was broken, and then... Vanlin stood up, and Harry saw Vanlin's Patronus Charm again, it was a ferret.

But the spell was not so bright, as if its light was swallowed by the Dementors.

Finally, the Patronus Charm released by Vanlin completely lost its effect, and Harry saw the ferret running in the air being torn apart and swallowed by several Dementors.

Harry's body was surrounded by coldness, and he was a little desperate. Not far in front of him... but there was no one.

From a distance, Hermione's voice came over, she was coming, no one would appear, and he finally realized... the person who released the Patronus Charm was himself.

"Harry!" Hermione shouted, she ran over, her body was hiding behind the trees, but the dense Dementors in front of her scared her, and she couldn't see the shadows of Sirius and the other two.

Harry looked back at Hermione, and Buckbeak also stepped on the ground with his front legs uneasily. He couldn't hide here anymore.

Harry suddenly jumped out of the bushes where he was hiding, and he stood in the position where he found his father... himself, and he raised his wand, just like protecting Sirius at that time.

"Epecto Patronum!" (To be continued)
