Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 184 Peter's Past ([-])
At midnight on the appointed day, fierce battles had already begun in the sparse woodland not far from the Hegerks Cemetery.

The dazzling green spell swished past, breaking a few fragile branches from time to time. Seven Death Eaters in black robes and masks were rushing through the mud after the rain. Dozens of steps ahead of them, another People who were also dressed as Death Eaters were walking through the woods.

Peter was the head of the seven Death Eaters. He pretended to shoot with his wand and deliberately missed the spell. The tall figure running away in front of him was obviously Rodolphus.

Rodolphus should have known that the news of his betrayal had been leaked. The moment he saw the seven Death Eaters who came to kill him, he turned around and ran away with a bag of things.

The Aurors hadn't arrived yet. The area of ​​the woods was not small, and the visibility was poor. The Aurors had probably heard the sound of the battle, but they hadn't locked the exact location yet.

Rodolphus could not be allowed to continue running away, otherwise the six Death Eaters who had finally been lured would follow him out of the range of the anti-apparition spell arranged in advance by the Ministry of Magic.

"Stop!" Peter ordered sharply, "Danger ahead!"

"What?" a large Death Eater gasped. "He's going to run!"

"Shut up!" Peter cast a body-binding spell on him, and the big guy fell into the mud with a thud, "He's leading us into an ambush at the Ministry of Magic, don't you think your brains are full of snot? Is it a bug?"

The other Death Eaters were frightened by Peter, who had long been known in the Dark Lord's camp for his cruelty and murder.

"The bones reappear!" Peter raised his wand, and a huge luminous Dark Mark was launched into the night sky, "You all wait for me under the Dark Mark, the Ministry of Magic must think that we have killed the Dark Mark when they saw the Dark Mark. Without Rodolphus, they will be impatient."

"What about you, Mr. Pedillo?" a young Death Eater asked cautiously.

"I'm going to hunt down Rodolphus alone, and find out the truth about the people in the Ministry of Magic." Peter said in an unquestionable tone. He waved his wand and summoned a pony with a saddle, "You guys Hold your wands, stand back to back, and I'll grab Rodolphus and come back right away."

After speaking, Peter jumped on the horseback, and the pony's hooves kicked up the mud, and he ran forward with deep kicks and shallow kicks.Through the eyeholes in the skull mask, the Death Eaters looked at Peter's back with the eyes of a lonely hero.

Peter raised his lit wand, and Rodolphs' dark figure was getting closer and closer. Hearing the sound of horseshoes behind him, Rodolphs turned his head frequently and raised his wand to fight back from time to time, but Peter easily broke his spell. , continue to approach him.

It's not yet time for Peter to reveal his identity, at least he can't reveal his true position to Rodolphs. The best way now is to knock Rodolphs unconscious and make sure that the other Death Eaters have been silenced before fleeing.

"There are many obstacles!" He pointed with his wand, and the already exhausted Rodolphs was immediately knocked down to the ground, but in the process of falling, he used a purple-black whip-like magic, click The pony's head was shattered with a thud, and Peter rolled off his back onto the grass.

The two fell on the grass and wrestled together. They clutched each other's wand wrists and fought desperately. Peter quickly gained the upper hand. Hold the opponent, while twisting the weapon in the opponent's hand.

He found that although his enemy was tall, his wrists were very slender, his thin body couldn't support the black robe at all, and this person's breathing was also very delicate, not like a strong adult man at all.

"Who are you?" Peter's voice echoed through the skull mask, "You are not Rodolphus."

"Sir Peddie Road...?" came Léonie Lestrange's breathless voice from under the mask and hood.

Recognizing the familiar voice, Peter hurriedly jumped away from her, and she lay sprawled on the grass, panting as if trying to blow out her lungs.

"You...you kill me...I am the traitor, I wrote the letter signed by Rodolphus...I am still a cowardly little girl..."

"It's you..." Peter said.

"Yes," she raised her hand and lifted the mask, revealing a pale face, "I pretended to be obedient and cheated Rodolphs and Dolohov into trusting me. The Dark Lord's great treasure went to Gringotts, to the Lestrange vaults."

"I knew there were Death Eater spies within the Ministry, so I wrote a letter to the Ministry with the Lestrange arms and Rodolphus's signature, making up a convincing reason , so that I myself can at least live until the moment of joining the Ministry of Magic, and even if I fail, I can at least indirectly kill Rodolphus."

She smiled ironically, "Although Rodolphus Lestrange and I have the same surname and thin blood, there is no relationship between me and him. Killing is his favorite pastime. , I have never seen such a cruel man, except Antonin Dolokhov."

"I was going to take these secrets to my grave so that I could blame Rodolphus, but... Mr. Pedillo... I can't lie to you anymore..." Her eyes were wet with tears, and Peter held her up His shoulders pulled her to sit up and wiped away her tears.

"When we met in the tavern, Dolohov didn't send me to follow me. I came here to say goodbye to you. In order to ensure the success of the plan, I had to pretend to admire Dolohov, so I could only Desperately watching the enthusiasm in your eyes dim..."

There were sounds of fighting and running in the woods behind them. Five Aurors and six Death Eaters started a scuffle. The dense spells flew up and down among the tree trunks. They fought and retreated. The battlefield was a few meters away from Peter. Ten feet away.

Peter glanced back and put his hands on Leonie's shoulders. "Run away," he said hastily. "It's never too late to say anything."

She tried to stand up for a while, with a painful look on her face, the impediment spell must have hurt her feet just now.He took a closer look and found that her hands were also dislocated, and she shouldn't have twisted her wrists so hard just now.

Anxious and regretful, Peter put her on his shoulders and forced her to stand still, while he raised his magic wand to protect her. A red light came towards Leonie, and he deftly picked it apart spell.

"I am a traitor, won't you kill me?" she said with tears.

"Stop talking stupid things, protect yourself!" Peter protected her with his body, blocking another spell.

"Kill me quickly, or I will implicate you. It is impossible for me to live. There is no way to exit this terrible organization except death." She tremblingly said, "Before my body dies, my soul It's broken."

"Shut up!" Peter yelled. "Don't say anything unlucky!"

An Auror fell in the mud, and it was four against six.

Peter recognized Mad-Eye Moody. At that time, Moody's eyes and legs were still healthy. He used the terrain to face three Death Eaters at the same time, and the other three Aurors dealt with one each.

Peter let go of Leonie's shoulders, took a few steps forward with his wand gripped, and cast a Stunning Spell at a Death Eater next to Mad-Eye.At this moment, a green light flashed past Peter, and Leonie Lestrange fell down.

Peter removed the skull mask and knelt beside her, her hood slipping off and her smooth hair caught in the mud.

Fifteen years later, as Peter stood at Leonie Lestrange's gravestone, looking at her epitaph, he still wasn't sure whether the deadly spell came from a Death Eater or an Auror.

But he knew who had betrayed her.
