Chapter 344 The Mysterious Patron Saint
In the depths of the Forbidden Forest, the dazzling white light did not dissipate, but went straight into the sky.
The clouds floating in the sky, at the outermost edge, began to roll up rapidly, like a lotus flower that had already bloomed, and turned into a snow-white flower bud again.
Rove stood by the window and looked up into the distance, but the white light made him almost unable to open his eyes.
Hermione suddenly reached out and pulled out her Time Converter from her collar, only to see the hands of the gold-hand timepiece at the end of the converter trembling and buzzing.
This was the first time Hermione encountered such a strange situation, she was a little at a loss and said, "Rofe, what's going on?"
Rove took the warm time converter. After looking at it for a while, he didn't find any clues, so he looked at the principal's portrait on the wall and asked:
"Professors, does any of you know what's wrong with this time-turner?"
The old principals are well-informed, and soon a red-nosed wizard wearing a monocle said in a deep voice:
"I've seen this kind of situation. It's the hour reversal spell in the time converter, which resonates with a similar force... Children, hold down the pointer, don't let it take you back to the past."
"Thank you, Professor Fusco." Rove followed suit and quickly pressed the hands of the watch with his thumb to prevent it from turning randomly.
The Time Converter quickly returned to calm, and the bright light in the depths of the Forbidden Forest disappeared at the same time. Although it was silent, it was so powerful that it completely disrupted the sea of clouds in the sky.
Rove turned his head to look out the window, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "It seems that Professor Dumbledore should have gone to the Forbidden Forest."
This wave of white light seems to be very powerful, and it is unknown what happened to the Forbidden Forest.
"Then what shall we do next?" Shirley asked in a low voice, "Still going to the Gryffindor lounge?"
"Go!" Rove nodded and said, "Our plan remains the same... catching Peter is the top priority."
If Dumbledore is in the Forbidden Forest, it doesn't matter if they go or not, they won't be able to help much; if Dumbledore is not in the Forbidden Forest, then they can't go.
The unknown is even more terrifying. Rove will never put himself, Shirley and Hermione in that kind of unknown danger.
"Our plan remains unchanged. I will hide in George and Fred's dormitory for a while, and you will block the corridor with smoke bombs..."
The boy wanted to say something else, Xue Li suddenly pointed out the window, and said in a soft voice:
"Look, what is that!"
Rove looked out the window for the third time tonight, his eyes widened, and he saw a dazzling silver creature running in mid-air, galloping towards the principal's office.
It has a proboscis snout and is covered in fuzz...it looks like a sniff.
The silver snuffling, after passing through the window, jumped towards the wall, pointed its claws, turned towards the other wall, and bounced towards Rove, its speed had completely slowed down.
It landed gracefully on the ground, staring at Rove with a pair of big silver eyes.
Hermione was half excited, half surprised: "A patron saint!"
She had consulted the books and knew that the Patronus Charm was a very profound magic, and many adult wizards were unable to cast it.
The silver snuffling, after landing on the ground, tilted its head, and raised its paws towards the window.
"It seems to let us follow it." Shirley said strangely: "Rove, do you know who this guardian spirit is?"
Rove shook his head and said suspiciously, "I've never seen a patron saint in the shape of a sniff."
Dumbledore's Patronus is a phoenix, Professor McGonagall's is a cat, Snape's is a doe...
Luo Fu carefully thought about all the wizards he knew, but none of them had a patron saint in the form of sniffing.
The boy frowned and tapped his fingers lightly. The rhythmic sound of tapping echoed in the principal's office.
The Patronus apparently told them to go with it.
The Patronus Charm is a very special kind of magic that all Death Eaters, except Snape, cannot use.
So, this is definitely not a trap Peter summoned.
Besides, it is impossible for Peter to know that he is in the principal's office at this time!
But this kind of patron saint of unknown origin, Rove will definitely not leave rashly with it.
Just when Rove was hesitating, Xixiu walked to the side of the boy, and it rubbed its head against his arm affectionately.
Rove immediately felt a sense of warmth, like a fire in winter, covering his whole body, making him feel warm both physically and mentally.
Although Luo Fu didn't know this patron saint, he could feel the closeness of the other party's heart, which was a kind of blessed soul that was in harmony with each other.
Without any hesitation, he said decisively: "It seems that the plan will be changed, we will not go to the Gryffindor lounge...follow it!"
Rove took out the broomstick from the box, took Shirley and Hermione with him, and flew out of the window directly.
Rove didn't fly high in the sky. He was afraid of attracting the attention of the dementors, so he just walked along the lawn and swept towards the low sky on the edge of the castle.
After the sniffing head arrived at the Whomping Willow, it completely dissipated.
Rove landed from mid-air, and he frowned: "Is it telling us to go to the screaming shack?"
When the Whomping Willow felt a wizard approaching, its branches shook wildly.
Rove opened his box, sniffing and rushing forward, it dodged between the branches, like a mouse with full agility.
After it approached the Whomping Willow, it rested its front paws on a knot in the trunk. The Whomping Willow seemed to have turned into stone and stopped moving, and all the leaves were still.
The three of them walked towards the Whomping Willow, and slid down a dirt slope until it turned into a very short secret road.
They walked along the winding and secret passage, and after walking for a long time, they finally came to the end:
It was a dusty house with wallpaper peeling off the walls, stains all over the floor, pieces of furniture broken and windows boarded up.
At this time, there was a creaking sound from above, and someone seemed to be moving upstairs.
Rove made a silent gesture, and he walked in the front, climbing a staircase that was about to collapse.
Everything was covered with a thick layer of dust, but there were footprints on the stairs.
The three of them held their breath as much as possible. After climbing to the second floor, they followed the sound and walked towards a room. There was movement behind the door, but the door was closed.
Rove held his wand and pushed open the door.
There was a shabby four-poster bed, the curtains all around the bed were full of dust, and a small figure was sitting on the bed sobbing.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the man raised his head in horror, and met the uninvited guest's eyes.
Rove was full of surprise, he narrowed his eyes, he was stunned at first, then quickly smiled and said:
"Peter Pettigrew... Long time no see. I miss you so much!"
