Harry blinked at the two silver Patronuses shining brightly, at the stag and doe cuddling together in the night sky.
"Harry, I can't believe it!" whispered Hermione. "It's incredible that you summoned a Patronus that would drive away all those dementors. It's very, very advanced magic, you know."
Harry didn't answer her, he stared blankly at the silver doe.
His intuition told him that there must be some unexplainable close relationship between this doe and his patron saint! If his patron saint is a stag like his father, then this doe, can it be
"Don't!" Hermione seemed to understand what Harry was thinking very well. She stretched out her hand to hold him gently, and murmured, "You have done a good job, we can only stay here now, we must not interfere any more "
Harry didn't seem to hear what she was saying, he turned around suddenly, threw Hermione away, and rushed towards the foyer on the first floor, his heart was beating wildly, he had to find out who summoned the Patronus .
If both his and Dad's Patronuses were stags, then the doe was likely summoned by his mother.
Otherwise, such a coincidence would not be possible.
That's right, the other party must be my mother, she is not dead yet!
Thinking of his mother made Harry gasp a little more.
In the dim, narrow corridor, he rushed downstairs as fast as he could. He had to know who it was, and he had to see his mother.
Then Harry stopped abruptly behind the huge curtain on the second floor.
He heard a voice coming from the hall downstairs, and just a few seconds before he rushed down, the professors and students who had been having dinner in the auditorium all came out, and they were surprised to see what happened before them , discussing in panic.
Panting for breath, Harry hid behind the curtain and peeked into the hall on the first floor. He saw Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid
There were more than a dozen people in the hall, but not his mother.
Would she go outside the castle to save herself? Harry moved forward again to get a better view.
"What are you doing!" Panting, Hermione chased after her. She dragged Harry back behind the curtain and said angrily, "We must go back, Harry, you will be found!"
"We can't go back, I have to know, who summoned the Patronus?!" Harry said reluctantly, "I have to know"
"There are so many people outside, it's possible for anyone!" Hermione looked out of the curtain cautiously, and then she grabbed Harry's arm violently, "Look, it's Snape, he is leading us a few Come back to the castle."
Snape summoned four stretchers hanging in the air, and the lifeless bodies of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Sirius Black lay quietly on the stretchers, and Black was still firmly bound with black ropes.
The people in the castle greeted him, but Harry was dragged back by Hermione.
They returned to Professor Lupin's office on the third floor in silence, and no one spoke.
Harry felt a mess in his head, if his mother had summoned the Patronus, where was she now
Just outside the castle, Snape rescued him, Hermione, Ron, and Sirius. If he had been there, would he have seen her
The next second, Harry suddenly remembered the Marauder's Map that had been in his arms all this time, and he hurriedly took it out, hating himself for not thinking of it just now.
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong!" Harry tapped the Marauder's Map with his wand, and hurriedly lowered his head to search.
He saw himself, Hermione, Ron, and Sirius in the foyer on the first floor. In fact, almost everyone in the castle was concentrated there. Harry's eyes hurriedly searched the castle, but he didn't see his mother.
"Don't think about the Patronus, Harry! It can't be your mother, it must be some professor who summoned the Patronus, and it just happened to be a doe." Hermione also came over, "Think about it carefully. , it was Snape who brought the four of us back, maybe he summoned the Patronus"
"Snape?!" Harry froze for a moment.
"That's right, he was the only one there."
"That's impossible, Snape's Patronus can't be a doe!" Harry shook stubbornly, he would rather believe that Professor McGonagall summoned the Patronus than Snape.
"Compared to that Patronus, you should be more worried about Ivan and Sirius!" Hermione looked at the watch and said nervously, "It's almost time, why hasn't Ivan come back? It's a distance from Colonel Dumbledore Lock Hospital There are forty-five minutes before the door of the ward, and we must get back there before anyone notices that we are missing."
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry's thoughts turned to Ivan and Sirius again. If Ivan didn't catch Peter Pettigrew, then they must find a way to save Sirius and prevent him from being sucked away by those dementors soul
The dim office was silent, Harry and Hermione waited.
They saw from the Marauder's Map that Professor McGonagall sent the three of them to the school hospital, and Professor Flitwick locked Sirius at the top of the tower. As for Snape, he left the castle again, as if looking for something, and Hagrid was with him.
Harry immediately became nervous, what were they looking for, could it be his mother? !
They approached the Forbidden Forest, and a few minutes later, Harry saw Ivan's name appear on the edge of the Marauder's Map, and they sent him back to the castle.
Snape didn't go out again, he went to the place where Sirius was held at the top of the tower, and they didn't know what they were talking about. After a while, Dumbledore's figure appeared in his office, and he walked directly towards the ward without pausing.
"There are still fifteen minutes left, why hasn't Ivan come back?" Hermione said anxiously, staring at her watch.
Harry shook his head, his mind full of ominous premonitions.
If Ivan didn't catch Peter Pettigrew, then they must find a way to save Sirius, but Snape has been guarding the top of the tower.
With him around, they wouldn't stand a chance.
As time passed, Harry clenched his fists. He knew he had to give it a try. Just as he was about to act, he saw Ivan's figure reappearing on the edge of the map. Peter the Dwarf, and Firenze the Centaur.
Harry still remembered that he had met this centaur in the Forbidden Forest in his first year, who had saved him from Voldemort.
He didn't know why Ivan was with Firenze, he didn't have time to think about these things, and they ran down in a hurry.
Harry thought excitedly, as long as he catches Peter Pettigrew, he can prove Sirius' innocence. He can move out of the Dursleys and live with his godfather next summer vacation. Best Christmas present ever.
Then he thought of the silver doe Patronus.
If not his mother, who summoned it
Could it be Snape, as Hermione said? (.)
