A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 486 Tom's Final Plan

It was late at night, and the full moon hung high in the sky.

A black dot became increasingly conspicuous, piercing through the clouds and appearing above Hogsmeade Village.

William reached out and stroked Buckbeak's soft mane.

A winged beast with the head of a hippogriff... At first glance, it's ugly, but upon closer inspection... it's even uglier!

But it is very fast, and only Maxim's Divine Steed can compare to it.

Hermione sat behind William, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist. The girl turned her face to the side, pressing it against the boy's back, trying to feel his heartbeat.

Buckbeak flew down the street, gradually slowing down.

"Be careful," Hermione whispered, her lips brushing against William's ear.

"The same to you!"

She leaped off her horse and ran down the street.

William unconsciously rubbed his ear with his thumb and forefinger as he looked up into the distance.

He didn't come to his senses until Hermione put on the Invisibility Cloak and disappeared into the night sky.

The Aurors and Dementors of Hogsmeade were all transferred to the school.

But Tonks is still here, and if a battle breaks out, it will trigger the Howling Curse, drawing her over.

William and Hermione's use of the Time-Turner is illegal and must not be discovered.

Even if that person is Tonks.

Hermione had to stop her and prevent her from getting close to the Screaming Shack.

Whether Hermione could withstand an adult wizard... William had complete faith in her.

Anyone who underestimates Hermione will suffer greatly. Clegane is the best person to say this.

After all, his office was completely destroyed!

Buckbeak took flight again, soaring towards the Screaming Shack.

It fell onto the roof, its steel claws hooking onto the wooden house, revealing a large hole.

William reached out and touched Buckbeak, which lowered its head and rubbed against him affectionately.

After putting Buckbeak into the safety watch, William took out a rope and slid down it.

……

……

The passage seemed to stretch on and on.

Peter kept his head down and moved quickly through the crowd.

The last time I came here was last year when I was summoned by my master. Even earlier, many years ago, I came here with Lupin to transform.

Back then, they were the four raiders, the closest of friends...

But now... James has been dead for many years, and Lupin and Sirius will soon be going down to join him.

James will never be lonely!

Who caused all of this?

That's right, just as the master said: it's all the Dark Lord's fault! He caused all the tragedies!

Peter never felt he was wrong.

He didn't have James's talent, Sirius's illustrious surname, or Remus's resilience.

He wanted to live, to avoid being bullied, so he had no choice but to become a vassal of the strong.

It started with Jaime and his companions, then became the Dark Lord, and now it's a younger master.

During this time, he witnessed firsthand the wisdom of his new master. From the moment he was transformed into Ron, almost every step was perfectly executed.

He neither discovered them nor prevented them from being handed over to the Ministry of Magic.

The boy who miraculously survived was also in his hands... It was perfect!

Peter suppressed his excitement and strode forward.

The tunnel began to rise, becoming winding and twisting. Through a small opening, a sliver of light shone through.

Peter stopped, caught his breath, and looked back. The passageway in the distance was dark, leading to Hogwarts.

He had lived quietly here for so many years, even in the form of a mouse... He was actually a little reluctant to leave.

Peter turned away without looking back and quickly walked out of the passage.

This is a house, covered in dust. The wallpaper has peeled off the walls, there are stains everywhere on the floor, the furniture is broken, as if it was smashed by someone, and the windows are boarded up.

A door on the right was open, leading to a dark passageway.

Once he stepped out of the corridor and out of the outermost room... he would be completely safe.

Then, he took Harry to find the Dark Lord.

In the master's words: With Potter, he would immediately become the Dark Lord's most trusted person.

Whatever I did in the past, I will be forgiven!

This is his land of freedom.

Peter walked in with a heart full of joy, but his smile lasted only a second before his entire back tensed up and his scalp tingled!

A clear, cool voice rang out.

"You're so slow, Peter. I've been waiting for you for a while."

Peter stared blankly as a tall, slender boy stood in the middle of the room, smiling at him.

"Stark...you...what are you doing here..." Peter's voice was high-pitched and somewhat panicked.

"Of course I'm waiting for you." William's gaze shifted from Peter to Harry.

Harry stood blankly to one side, seemingly under the influence of the Imperius Curse and completely controlled.

"No wonder I didn't find you in the bathroom." He paced slowly around the room, leaving a trail of footprints.

"I thought you swam away from the toilet, but it turns out you used an invisibility cloak."

Then, using the Imperius Curse, he controlled Harry and tricked Lupin.

William looked at Peter, who held a shimmering silver robe in his hand.

"Harry's, right? Yeah, James used it countless times back then, and you must have used it too, so naturally you'd use it again."

"Will it be like this on Halloween too?" William stared at Peter.

"You were in the Gryffindor common room when you heard Black's voice. So you put on Harry's Invisibility Cloak, opened the door, and turned into a mouse."

The mouse was too small, and with the invisibility cloak covering its body, Sirius didn't notice you were right next to him as he walked through the passage.

Once Sirius encounters Professor McGonagall's guards, you should sneak out and lure the Dementors over.

At the school gate, when William was observing the Dementors, he even used the Summoning Charm to summon the Invisibility Cloak.

But there was no response.

At that time, he still thought Tom's little spy was a master of the Disillusionment spell.

Now I understand, I was wearing Harry's Invisibility Cloak.

It's unclear whether it was protected by an anti-theft spell or because it's a Deathly Hallow and can resist the Summoning Curse.

This was, undeniably, a mistake by Dumbledore.

He gave the Invisibility Cloak to Harry, hoping Harry would go on adventures. But Harry had lost the cloak more than once.

His carelessness caused a lot of trouble for this incident.

But overall, Tom is still the better one. After Peter became Ron, all his plans progressed step by step.

Every success is great, but if it doesn't work out, there are always backup plans.

If it weren't for the Time-Turner, William would probably have had to rely on Ravenclaw's ring to keep Peter at bay.

William raised his wand. He had been talking for so long, which had given Hermione enough time to set up the trap.

Now it's time to deal with Peter.

Peter raised his wand and roared, "Disarm you!"

But William was faster; he pressed his wand down, and Peter knelt on the ground, raising a cloud of dust around them.

The Howling Curse was triggered, and a tremendous sound echoed throughout Hogsmeade.

William ignored the voice and waved his wand.

Then, Peter's feet left the ground, his chest felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

After he fell to the ground, his entire chest was a bloody mess. He lay there, barely breathing.

William was almost stunned.

It wasn't because I was too strong, but because Peter was too weak.

He had deliberately held back, not intending to kill Peter. But the opponent's strength... was too weak; even Annie was stronger than him!

Harry, who had been standing blankly on the right, had a triumphant smile on his lips.

This is the master's last plan!

He instantly raised his wand and roared:

"Avada Kedavra!"

A flash of green light appeared.
