Chapter 114 The Silent Witch and Nagini
What—what's going on here?
The moment Loila used Apparition, she unexpectedly found herself in a narrow passageway. If she hadn't been lucky, Apparition alone could have trapped her in the wall.
But that's no longer important. What's important is—why is Mr. Lupin lying on the ground covered in blood, with a huge python in front of him?
"Mr. Lupin?!" Seeing Lupin seemingly faint in a daze, Loila quickly raised her wand and flicked it, sending the python flying. Then she immediately erected a barrier between herself and the python.
She immediately bent down to check on Lupin's condition—Mr. Lupin appeared to have been bitten by a snake, his entire body was covered in blood, and the blood was still gushing from the wound on his arm.
This is simply—a disaster—
Loila took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then quickly opened the Space Extension Book in her arms.
With one hand she held the wand and touched the wound on Lupin's arm, while with the other she rummaged through the book and found a bottle of white succulent.
Just like when she treated the unicorn, she quickly stopped the blood flowing like a river. "This snake must be poisonous," Loila thought, pursing her lips as she looked at Lupin's pale face.
Fortunately, she had a lot of potions in her spatial expansion book, including antidotes. Although Loila had imagined using them countless times, she never intended to give them to Mr. Lupin.
She picked up the antidote and gently waved her wand. The antidote floated into the air and tilted slightly at Mr. Lupin's lips. Then, Loila swirled her wand around to create a force that helped Mr. Lupin sit up.
Watching the antidote slowly being poured into Mr. Lupin's mouth, and seeing his complexion gradually improve, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, he had been woken up by Pu Rongrong—otherwise—
She bit her lip and slowly got up, then looked at the python that was constantly attacking the Ironclad Curse.
Why are there snakes again? She felt a little absurd for a moment—why did she always have to get along with snakes? And they weren't ordinary snakes either.
Loila immediately recognized that the snake before her was no ordinary python—it was a human transformed into a snake! In other words—
She is an Animagus.
But no matter what kind of Animagus you are, that's no reason for you to hurt Mr. Lupin.
Loila raised her wand at the python, ready to deliver a swift killing spell to send her to meet Merlin—but just as she raised her wand, Loila heard the snake hiss.
That was Parseltongue, and Roy had recently been practicing it: "He—he's here—I! Please save me—"
"I have no idea--"
"He'll be back!"
"And who are you—"
"pain--"
Seeing the messy words, Roy subconsciously wondered if his Parseltongue skills were inadequate—or so he thought.
Having deciphered a coded message himself—Roy pursed his lips and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
She was also using Parseltongue.
"I—I am Nagini—I am—Credence—Dumbledore—he—Voldemort—"
What the hell?! Upon hearing the name she uttered, Loila instinctively felt a chill run down her spine.
Dengdengdeng Blido?!
Why are you everywhere?!
As for Voldemort and the like, Royla didn't care at all; she was only thinking about the name Dumbledore.
She actually knew Dumbledore—could she be Dumbledore's pet? Or perhaps one of Dumbledore's henchmen? Loira thought it was perfectly normal for Dumbledore to have an Animagus as a henchman!
But if she's one of Dumbledore's people, why would she hurt Mr. Lupin?
Wasn't Mr. Lupin also working for Dumbledore?
Loila hesitated, gripping her wand, unsure whether to use the Killing Curse or the Crucifixion Curse, or perhaps use the Imperius Curse to control her first?
Just as Loila was thinking this, the snake in front of her began to twist again.
Ugh! That's disgusting!
Seeing the snakes coiled together, Loila instinctively felt physically uncomfortable. She trembled and took a few steps back, hiding behind the unconscious Mr. Lupin.
"ah--""
Then she saw a black-haired woman crawl out of the snake and she returned to human form.
More terrifying than a snake!
The sudden appearance of the stranger made Loila quickly pull up her hood and grip her wand tightly, her blue eyes sweeping across the woman's face.
It was a distorted face that made Loila's heart stop beating for a few seconds before she quickly closed her eyes.
Isn't it Christmas Eve? Why do I have to see something so terrifying—so horrible!
"Help—help me—Credence—"
The woman's voice came intermittently. Loila gritted her teeth and slowly opened her eyes—the woman was lying on the ground, weakly reaching out her hand towards Loila, but she could only touch the barrier between them.
Wait—wait a minute—after carefully observing the woman's eyes, Roy realized something.
She immediately raised her wand and flicked it lightly.
"All curses will end."
A pale golden light enveloped the woman, causing her to tremble and collapse to the ground.
She was under a death curse—Roy discovered this through her eyes; that is to say, someone controlled her to attack Mr. Lupin—
How is this getting more and more complicated! I don't even know what Mr. Lupin is doing here, what he has encountered, or who this woman is—I seem to be just a wizard who came here to rescue my friend.
Seeing that the two were still unconscious, Roy subconsciously thought of the last time he had frozen Mr. Lupin in place—
Thankfully—thankfully they were still wearing clothes this time. "Where am I—." Lupin opened his eyes again and saw his tent and a little sunlight.
He didn't think he was already dead—Lupin subconsciously thought he was dead and wanted to reach out and touch himself, but as soon as he raised his right hand, he felt a sharp pain.
His arm was wrapped in a layer of white gauze—yes, he had been bitten by a snake.
Lupin took a deep breath and looked around, and then he saw a woman with long black hair lying next to him.
"—"
Lupin's lips twitched, then he immediately rolled over and got up! This was not only because he was sharing a bed with a strange woman, but also because this woman was an Animagus with a deadly venom.
But as soon as he rolled over, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. He couldn't help but groan in pain, and then rolled off the bed onto the floor in a rather disheveled state.
"Lupin—Mr. Lupin?" As if hearing the commotion inside the tent, a somewhat familiar voice came from inside, and Lupin was startled involuntarily.
"Miss Hamilton?" He looked in surprise at the tent entrance as a girl with long silver hair and pointed ears walked in.
She wore the familiar awkward smile that Lupin knew so well, and the hood that he knew so well was on her head.
Why would you—
"Ah—Mr. Lupin—please—please don't get up yet—" Seeing Lupin sitting on the ground, Roy quickly ran over to him and reached out to help him up.
But with her strength, it seems a bit difficult.
Looking at the girl who was trying so hard to pull on his clothes, Lupin felt a sense of unreality.
Why are you here?
"Ah—" Roy was taken aback by his question, then subconsciously said, "Is this—is this a private—space?"
"No—that's not what I meant." Lupin quickly shook his head, saying before Loila's face turned pale, "What I meant was—how did you know I was here—"
"And how did you—save me?"
"Ah." Loila looked relieved upon hearing this. It seemed that if Lupin had said that this was a private space, she might have really left in an awkward manner.
"Because—because of the necklace—" Roy pursed his lips and said, "Do you remember—that Christmas—the Christmas present?"
Her words made Lupin nod knowingly. He only remembered that the necklace could block the spell, and he had completely forgotten—
Forgetting it will also tell Miss Hamilton that she is in danger, and it also has a locating function.
It might sound a bit too private, but it truly saved my life.
Lupin smiled gently as he watched Loila explain the principles of the magic array, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
"Ah—" He suddenly let out a long breath, then closed his eyes and lay down on the floor. This sudden action startled Loila, who was giving a long speech.
"I'm just—just a little tired," Lupin muttered. "Can I rest for a few minutes?"
"Of course—of course you can—but still in bed—" Before Roy could finish speaking, he heard Lupin's steady breathing.
Mr. Lupin seemed too tired—his injuries hadn't fully healed, and he was bleeding a lot—Loy pursed his lips and gently waved his wand, covering Lupin with a blanket.
Alright—I still have work to do—Loila shook her head and walked out of the tent.
Her boots and socks were stained with Mr. Lupin's blood, and she needed to clean them up—and incidentally, she also needed to hurry and inform Miss Lovegood so she could contact the man.
