A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 487 The Collapsed Screaming Shack

As the man who ruined the secret room plan and crippled himself... Tom harbored a great deal of resentment towards William!

This is somewhat similar to Harry's relationship with Voldemort, or Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald.

Of course, the "perfect couple" in the back... felt more resentment than affection!

The resentment is not the resentment of hatred, but the resentment of sorrow!

Tom felt no resentment or longing for William. He wished William dead!

So Tom remotely controlled his little mouse, directing it to play another game from afar.

He focused intently, devising a series of plans. He was even prepared to sacrifice pawns to slay William, this unparalleled dragon.

Tom was very confident, believing that his plan was intricately linked and almost flawless.

He also placed Peter's escape at nearly midnight, in Hogsmeade Village, far from the school.

This was to prevent William from using the Ravenclaw ring at the last moment and returning to the time loop.

Even so, Tom was still thinking about what would happen if he failed.

If William catches up to the Screaming Shack, Peter will definitely be no match for him... What should we do then?

Therefore, Harry is the final and most crucial link in the entire plan.

Tom knew William was very smart.

Even if you were an unparalleled genius:

You can guess that Scabbers is Peter; you can sense that Peter has become Ron; you can discover that Ron has become a groundhog, then Peter, and was sent to be a scapegoat...

William discovered all of this, but at the very last moment, could you still guess... that Peter used Polyjuice Potion to turn into Harry again?!

In Tom's words:

"If you survive all this... I'll take your last name and change my name to Tom Stark!"

The young, mysterious woman is just like Pantene!

Tom was trembling with excitement as the design project came to a close.

It culminates in a magnificent finale, and William... is both the final admirer and the victim.

That's so damn ceremonial!!

Tom even wanted to give himself a few Avada Kedavra shots and go remotely... to help out!

Peter was a very good pawn; he steadfastly carried out Tom's plan, and only revealed Harry as his trump card at the very end.

Peter's smile widened, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud with smug satisfaction.

But soon, the smile on his lips froze.

A flash of green light appeared, and at the same time, the broken four-poster bed in the room came to life.

It leaped from the ground and landed with a thud on the floor between William and Peter.

The incantation landed on the bed board, and the wood chips instantly shattered into pieces, scattering everywhere.

Peter panicked and couldn't help but ask, "This can't be... You know I've turned into Harry?!"

William ignored him, waved his wand, and the shattered bed coalesced into a rapier, which he slashed at Peter.

How did William know?

Of course he didn't know.

Otherwise, Peter would have already been caught outside the washroom. There would have been no need for him to come here!

Although William was unaware of this, he remained vigilant towards Harry.

Last year in the Chamber of Secrets, Tom put the Basilisk inside Harry.

Then, using Parsleyan to control him, they launched a surprise attack on William, who was fighting Tom.

If it weren't for that idiot Fox who blocked the Death Curse at the crucial moment, William would have been dead long ago.

A magician cannot be hit twice by the same move!

Tom's final plan was brilliant, but its biggest flaw was himself!

He's already done this once before, so why isn't William, who almost died because of it, on guard against this?

The moment he saw Harry, he was wary of a sneak attack.

Incompetent team members can be deadly sometimes!

Little did anyone expect that "Harry" wasn't Harry at all, but Peter in disguise using Polyjuice Potion.

Harry himself was transformed into Peter.

"Was it in the bathroom?" William suddenly realized.

William and Hermione found Harry at the bathroom door. Harry, by then, was probably already Peter.

He used the Imperius Curse to control Harry, switching identities in the bathroom. He then dressed Harry in an invisibility cloak and used the Imperius Curse to keep him by his side.

This is why Harry's name is shown on the map.

Because he was right next to Peter!

This was absolutely a brilliant move.

Someone else might have fallen for it. But unfortunately, Tom's old trick didn't work on William!

Screams and the clanging of rapiers echoed from the room.

Caught off guard, three fingers on Peter's left hand were sliced ​​off, as if chopsticks had been broken.

Peter's wand finally emitted black smoke, completely engulfing the rapier.

William's wand trembled, and Peter flew backward.

He swayed as he stood up, wand still in his hand, then swung his arm, and a spell shot out.

But the object of his aim was not William, but Harry, who was lying on the ground, barely breathing and on the verge of death!

William had no choice but to turn his wand, changing its direction. The rope on the ground, like a thin snake, wrapped around the obstructing Harry and hurled him backward with force.

The ground where he was lying was blasted into a large crater.

Peter missed his first attack, held his wand upright in front of his chest, and muttered a spell to himself.

William raised his wand, and a white light, like the bright moon in the sky, rolled and pounced towards Peter.

A huge crack appeared in the floor of the entire room.

The tip of Peter's wand suddenly thrust forward, also shooting out light.

As the two spells collided, the room crackled and popped continuously, producing a series of eerie sounds like soybeans exploding.

Then, the screaming shack seemed to be hit by a meteorite from outer space, and the room shook violently.

Clearly, this is the dark magic Peter used in 12 years—a spell that destroyed an entire street!

The white light was even more powerful; it cut through Peter's spell and enveloped him.

In his panic, he shrunk into a mouse to evade the surging magic.

In the brief moment, the white light slid past his buttocks, and a rat's tail fell to the ground.

Peter screamed in agony and, enduring the excruciating pain, crawled toward the mouse hole in the room.

The screaming shack could no longer hold on and was instantly reduced to ruins by the impact of the explosion.

William didn't give chase. If he had, Peter might have caught him, but Harry... he would have been dead for sure!

William walked toward Harry, who lay on the ground, his eyes wide open and trembling with terror.

His face had turned bright red, and his pale hands clutched his blood-soaked chest. He was barely breathing due to massive blood loss.

William lowered his wand and moved it along the deep gash in Harry's chest, chanting a song-like spell.

The bleeding gradually subsided, and he administered a healing potion to Harry, recited the spell again, and the wound finally began to heal slowly.

After three times, I poured a bottle of white phthalein onto my chest, and the scar finally started to disappear.

William stood up, staring silently at the nearly ruined Screaming Shack.

……

……

Hogsmeade Street

The devil's net lashed out wildly, pounding on the houses. Peruvian stealth smoke grenades created darkness that enveloped the streets, preventing even moonlight from penetrating.

Hermione was still pulling out all sorts of prank products.

She suddenly thought of a curse she had never tried before, but which could lure Tonks over and temporarily control her.

Hermione was about to cast the spell when she suddenly froze, turned around abruptly, and raised her wand.

The person behind him had already grasped the wand. William whispered, "It's me, Hermione."

Another blue light shot in from afar.

William grabbed Hermione's wand, gently flicked away the spell, and simultaneously cast a stun spell before retracing his steps.

Hermione was so startled that she leaned back, and William gently pulled her arm and back into his embrace.

"Let's go back."

William casually cast another spell, and a dazzling light exploded in the night sky.

Tonks hid behind a bunker, and a silver hare appeared beside her.

"Kingsley, requesting backup! Someone has violated Hogsmeade's curfew by using magic and triggering the Howling Charm."

But I was blocked; the other side was very strong! I estimate there were many of them, at least a whole team!

In the distance, William and Hermione, who were known as a team, had already left silently.
