On the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, Ivan slipped off Firenze's back.
"Let's separate here, Ivan." Firenze whispered, "Further ahead is your human castle, and I am not suitable to enter it."
"Thank you, Firenze!" Ivan waved his wand, Peter Pettigrew floated beside him, he took two steps forward, suddenly remembered, turned his head and said, "By the way, about your tribe what's in there"
"If you want it, you are welcome to our tribe at any time." Firenze raised his head to look at the sky and said softly, "The stars have told me that you may be the one chosen by fate. Good luck, Evan Mason!"
He turned around, left Ivan and Peter Pettigrew, and slowly ran back to the depths of the forest.
Aiwen waited until his figure completely disappeared, and took a last look at the unusually bright Mars in the night sky, and then walked towards the castle with Peter Pettigrew, who was unconscious.
He met Harry and Hermione in the hall a few minutes later.
"You caught Peter Pettigrew, you caught this traitor! I knew you would succeed!" Harry rushed over to look at Peter Pettigrew, completely putting aside the matter of the protector, all thoughts in his mind He was about to help Sirius wash away his grievances, he said excitedly, "Tell us, Ivan, how did you do it, I just saw Firenze on the Marauder's Map?"
Before Ivan had time to answer Harry, Hermione walked up to him.
There were crystal tears in her eyes, and emotions such as excitement, nervousness, and worry mixed on her face. She didn't speak, and stepped forward to hug him tightly.
"I'm fine, Hermione!" Ivan patted her on the shoulder lightly, "I met a centaur in the Forbidden Forest, Firenze helped me"
While climbing up a steep stone spiral staircase, Aiwen briefly told the two of them what happened in the Forbidden Forest.
"It's unbelievable, our place is not as smooth as yours!" Harry told the story of his and Hermione's encounter with the Patronus, "I don't understand, who summoned the doe?"
"I agree with Hermione, it should be Snape."
"Snape?!" Harry shook his head and said stubbornly, "It's impossible, why is he?"
"Okay, Harry! We are studying this later, and now we have an urgent time, and there are exactly ten minutes left. We have to go back to the ward, or let no one see us, before Dumbledore locks us up." Hey Min looked down at her watch.
Hearing Hermione's words, the three of them hurried to speed up.
The corridor of the castle was quiet, except for them, there was no one else, and even the portraits on both sides of the corridor were empty. Everyone seemed to be gathering at the tower, inquiring about Sirius Black.
It was not until they climbed to the fourth floor that they heard a rattling sound coming from the front.
"It's Peeves!" Harry murmured, signaling Ivan and Hermione to stop.
Ahead of them, Peeves appeared to be in high spirits, bouncing down the corridor ahead, having a good time.
The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly hid in an empty classroom on the left.
"He's scary!" whispered Hermione, putting her ear to the door. "I bet he's so happy because the dementors are coming to finish Sirius"
"He seems to be gone, we have to hurry up!" Ivan also lay on the door and listened for a while, and Peeves' gloating voice gradually disappeared in the distance.
"Three minutes left!" Hermione looked at the watch in her hand again.
The three of them slipped out of the classroom and ran. Ivan waved his wand wildly, Peter Pettigrew's body also accelerated, floating tightly behind him, looking extremely weird, like an extremely ugly human-shaped kite.
"Hermione, what's going to happen if we don't go back before Dumbledore locks the door?" Harry gasped.
"I don't want to think about it!" Hermione groaned, looking at her watch again. "One minute left!"
Panting, the three of them had already run to the entrance of the school hospital at the end of the corridor.
"I heard Dumbledore talking." Hermione said nervously, "Come on, Ivan! Come on, Harry!"
As they stooped down the corridor, the door to the ward opened, revealing Dumbledore's back in front of them.
"I've locked you here, and it's five minutes to midnight!" said Dumbledore. "Miss Granger, six turns is all you need, good luck!"
Dumbledore exited the room, closed the door, drew his wand and magically locked the door.
Ivan, Harry, and Hermione ran forward in panic. Dumbledore looked up, and a smile appeared under his long mustache.
"Huh?" he said quietly.
"Professor, we did it!" said Harry breathlessly. "We caught Peter Pettigrew."
"Good job, now leave him to me." Dumbledore looked at them with a wide smile, and he tapped his wand lightly, conjuring a stretcher out of thin air.
Peter Pettigrew, who had been floating in the air, fell on the stretcher. Ivan felt that he had lost control of him, and a powerful force instantly blocked his magic.
"Professor, I have something to ask you." Ivan said hastily.
He wanted to tell Dumbledore about Professor Trelawney's prophecy, and by the way, ask him what his plan was, the purpose of this evening's arrangement, and so on. Also, Ivan also wanted to know what Dumbledore thought of the fact that the treasure key left by Gryffindor, which was preserved in the centaur tribe, was split.
"Of course, Ivan, but not now, you need to rest." Dumbledore said calmly
"Professor, I also have something to tell you about the Patronus Doe," Harry followed up.
"The same goes for you, Harry, what can I say tomorrow!" Dumbledore seemed to be listening for any voices in the school hospital, "Very well, I think you are gone too. Go in, and leave the rest to me." Leave it to me, you three need to rest, I'm going to lock you up."
Ivan, Harry and Hermione slipped back to the ward, which was empty except for Ron, who was still lying unconscious on the bed.
The door lock slammed behind them, and Alvin, Harry, and Hermione each climbed back to their beds, and Hermione tucked the timer back under her robe.
Madam Pomfrey came back from her office shortly, checked on them, and gave them some chocolates.
Ai Wen ate two pieces, his consciousness became more and more heavy, and he gradually fell asleep.
He knew that this year's incident was finally resolved, he finally changed the plot, he captured Pettigrew Peter, and saved Sirius Black.
Ivan didn't know that what he did would have an impact on his future, but no matter what he faced, he was already prepared. He is going to gradually increase his own strength, first find a way to obtain the treasure key fragment left by Gryffindor preserved in the centaur tribe, and then (.)
