Chapter 959 Alive, But Already Dead

Even with so many patron saints participating in the siege, and Neville's silver lion patron saint as the main force, it was still unimaginable to completely defeat the enemy in a short period of time.

The big man's strength is amazing, and he has a very high resistance to magic. Even though certain characteristics of the Patronus Charm seemed to have a miraculous effect on it, it still felt like something was missing after all.

To be honest, in the situation where each of the patron saints was frequently defeated by the other party, the stalemate for so long was already the result of the hard work and persistence of the partners brought by Hermione.

"Sure enough...isn't it okay?"

Harry let his patron saint of the stag hop nimbly in front of him, but he himself seemed to be a little distracted from just now, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

That's right, even he himself probably doesn't understand... What kind of emotion does the depression in his heart represent at this moment.

Silently, Harry subconsciously tightened his grip on the brim of the Sorting Hat.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly felt a slight shock from nowhere.

Just when everyone was a little surprised, they realized that the big man who was fighting with many patron saints in the corridor ahead suddenly fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

"Boom!"

The heavy body suddenly fell to the ground, followed by the whole body, quickly contracted, and returned to the appearance of an ordinary human male.

And perhaps it was precisely because the mysterious force that supported his transformation suddenly disappeared, everyone's patron saints lost interest in it one after another, and each turned around and rushed towards the master who created him.

Watching the group of running silver animals turn into fog one by one,

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

"What happened just now?"

Neville, who stood at the front, glanced around with a puzzled expression, but when his gaze passed over Hermione and the others, he found that everyone was equally puzzled.

"I don't know," Hermione frowned, but her eyes still stayed on the fallen man, "but I think if I can wake him up—maybe I can know something."

After saying that, she passed by Neville and walked forward quickly.

Due to the astonishing strength of this man after his transformation, the battle just now has already scarred this corridor, and even walking on the ground full of depressions and cracks is very difficult.

Hermione came to the comatose man, but she saw that she first pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Xiao Wu's body, with a little sadness mixed in her expression.

"Confinement, relaxation and release..."

Although she wasn't sure that it would have much effect, she cast several movement-restricting spells in a row, trying to ensure her safety before trying to wake up the other party.

Then, she pointed to the other party and read clearly:

"Recover quickly."

It's a pity, at least Hermione understood that the last spell didn't work smoothly, because the man on the ground didn't even twitch his eyelids.

And during this period, everyone has already gathered around, looking at each other, most of them are at a loss.

This guy fell too suddenly, until now, no one knows what happened just now. And that weak but real shock—what did that represent?

"Would you like to... get a therapist to help? I think—"

"Don't look for it, I've brought Mr. Smethyk over!"

A familiar voice sounded from around the corner behind everyone, interrupting Ginny's whispered proposal abruptly. Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, and found that it was Sirius and the chief therapist from the biological injury department.

But Sirius immediately apologized and said:

"I'm sorry, everyone... I'm a bit late. I didn't expect him to be able to lift the petrification state by himself. This is indeed my omission..."

Just as the friends of .. were about to shake their heads to say that it was not his fault at all, another voice suddenly came from the other side of the corner of the corridor:

"Isn't Sirius Black going to apologize?"

Before the words fell, a familiar figure appeared from there, which immediately surprised everyone.

"Professor Sinista, why are you here?"

In everyone's impression, this professor has almost never been out of the castle. Except for going to the auditorium for meals three times a day, he basically stays in the Astronomy Tower and doesn't go anywhere.

It stands to reason that this professor is still very young, at most in his thirties, so students are usually very curious about this "surprisingly homely" professor.

However, Sinista actually came out today!

"Yes, that's the question!" Professor Sinista said with a smile, "Recently, under the entrustment of your Professor McLean, I did some research with a mysterious kid... and just now, you should The results of our research are already being felt."

At this moment, Hermione, who was standing at the other end of the crowd, couldn't help blurting out:

"Is it the shock just now?"

"Yes, Miss Granger, you are for Gryffindor... oh!" Sinista was stunned, and then couldn't help but said, "Your answer is still as fast as usual, I almost thought we were still in class up!"

When Hermione heard this, a subtle expression appeared on her face.

Sinista paused for a while, and continued:

"Well, all in all, we seem to have arrived in time—is that black wizard who fell on the ground? It seems that Hai Erbo himself hasn't appeared yet?"

"I think so," Hermione explained to Sinistra from the other side of the crowd, "that this guy sneaked into St. Mungo's pretending to be injured, and then took advantage of a confusion to make a move... I think Sirius should have told you about this, right?"

"That's right," Sinista nodded, "and I think he must have been manipulated to a certain extent...Of course, the man who manipulated him is most likely 'Despicable Haierbo'."

"'Manipulation'...is it the Imperius Curse?"

Hermione quickly thought of the famous black magic, one of the three Unforgivable Curses, from this word, but Sinista did not agree with it.

"If it's the Imperius Curse, he's probably still fighting with you!" She thought for a while, then asked, "Did he fall at the same time when you felt the shock just now?"

"Ah, yes!" Ginny, who was following Hermione, nodded repeatedly, "I can see it very clearly, almost at the same time!"

"Then it's definitely not..."

As Sinista spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"The Imperius Curse does not require the caster to form a continuous connection with the caster, and his fall represents that kind of manipulation is closely connected with the caster."

After thinking about it, she immediately turned her head to Sirius and said, "Oh, what I'm most worried about now is that Hai Erbo may be hiding somewhere nearby."

There is actually not much basis for this speculation, because there is a huge gap between Haierbo's magic and modern spells, and it is difficult to rely on experience to judge between the two.

If it is to control magic from a long distance, it is probably not difficult to do it under the hands of an ancient wizard.

"I'm going to check it out again!"

As soon as Sirius heard this, he immediately planned to check the nearby blocks outside St. Mungo, but he was stopped by Sinista in the next second.

"The inspection is necessary, but it only needs to be searched inside St. Mungo's. Because now the spaces inside and outside the hospital are no longer connected-at least in theory."

"The formation just now?"

Sirius reacted immediately, and after seeing Sinista nodded, he turned and left clearly.

On the other hand, Hermione was obviously very interested in what Professor Sinistra mentioned.

"The space is no longer connected?" She asked in surprise, "This... can it really be done? As far as I know, even the Untraceable Stretching Curse just extends and overlaps the space..."

As a professor at Hogwarts, Sinista naturally likes students who ask questions. But it's a pity that after all, she is only a wizard who specializes in astronomy, and she is completely confused about space theory.

"Unfortunately, I just listened to what other people said," she patted Hermione on the shoulder and said, "Also, it's not the time to talk about this—Sirius alone is definitely not enough, and we must act quickly Get up!"

"Ah! Sorry..."

Hermione secretly thought that she had committed an old habit again, and got carried away when encountering profound and interesting knowledge. After a small apology, the gang of ... hurriedly searched around St. Mungo.

And she herself, with the only group of people left, brought the man who fell on the ground back to the devastated temporary ward.

Seeing the mess in the room, the therapist Smethyke who came with Sirius simply didn't care so much, and did a physical examination for this person on the spot.

To be honest, he was a little nervous during the whole inspection process, for fear that the man lying on the ground with his eyes closed would suddenly raise his hand and break his neck.

You know, all the shocking dilapidated scenes around are almost all created by this guy alone.

After a while, Mr. Smethyker retracted his wand and straightened up, then shook his head towards Sinistra and Hermione.

"There is no sign of life at all, but the body still maintains a certain degree of activity. In fact, even if he dies in the next second, I will not feel any surprise, but..."

He finally hesitated and said:

"How did a man who should have died a long time ago cause all this?"

"People who should have died a long time ago?"

Sinista repeated this sentence in amazement, and even got Smethyk's affirmation.

"Yes," he said, "I think he's dead long ago."
