Chapter 173: Master of sting – Ginny Weasley
Cyrus''s wand circled quickly around him, and the me dragon that had ttened the castle reached out its w to press the ck serpent into the ground.
The massive impact instantly cracked the ground beneath, turning bricks into dust!
"Sectumsempra!"
Cyrus shed with his wand, and invisible des severed the heads of several other serpents, leaving mirror-like smooth cuts!
<em>ng—!</em>
The des flew but were all blocked in front of Voldemort.
On the other side, Wormtail, fleeing with Harry, dared not stop for a moment.
He rode a broomstick, weaving through the dense forest, with McGonagall and the others following from a distance.
They hadn''t brought brooms with them, and though Wormtail''s was an old model, it was still faster than what they had.
"Put Harry down, you scummy bastard!" Sirius shouted without hesitation. He ran while transforming into a lean, long ck dog, sprinting swiftly through the snow-covered forest.
He wasn''t as fast as Wormtail but was much more agile.
It was extremely difficult for Pettigrew to fly in the woods, not to mention that he was carrying Harry, a very unruly boy.
McGonagall, being older, couldn''t keep up with their antics. She waved her wand, and the thick snow at their feet suddenly rose, forming several white, crystalline horses.
They grabbed the reins and began to chase Wormtail!
Spells flew back and forth between the two sides, with everyone trying to keep low, fearing a direct hit from the other''s spells.
Wormtail was nearly frantic, continuously casting the Killing Curse behind him. The green spells flew in rapid session, several times narrowly missing Sirius andnding in the snow at his feet.
A few of his spells almost hit Flitwick, but fortunately, Flitwick''s small stature helped him avoid death. However, his white horse wasn''t as lucky; a graze from the spell instantly drained its life, causing it to disintegrate into a pile of scattered snowkes.
Flitwick rolled on the snow in a panic, ending uppletely buried.
The more Wormtail ran, the more he felt his chances of escape increasing. An old-style broomstick was incredibly useful in such a situation!
"Avada Kedavra!"
In his Animagus form, Sirius found it difficult to retaliate. At this moment, Wormtail fired another spell, which exploded at Sirius''s feet, sending ice and snow flying. Though Sirius wasn''t hit, the ground beneath him gave way, causing him to fall into the snow.
Wormtail clicked his tongue in annoyance, seemingly disappointed that he had missed, but this also created an opportunity for him.
Without hesitation, he halted his broom and turned to point his wand at Sirius.
"You want to fight me?!"
Sirius quickly transformed back into his human form. Just as he took out his wand, intending to duel Wormtail, a Disarming Charm hit him. His wand flew high into the air, spinning in arge arc before disappearing into the snow.
"Hahaha, you''re dead, Sirius!" Wormtailughed triumphantly.
God knows how long he had waited for this opportunity!
Sirius wanted to kill him, but Wormtail also wanted to eliminate this threat.
"You''ve fallen into my hands, Sirius!"
"You despicable traitor!" Sirius snarled, ring at him. Being without a wand didn''t make him submit. Truth be told, he wished he could just bite Wormtail to death; only then would he feel avenged!
"Beast! Filthy, stinking rat!"
"Shut up! Crucio!"
"Ahhhhh—!!!!"
Without hesitation, Wormtail cast the Cruciatus Curse on Sirius, making him writhe on the ground in agony.
"Heheh! What do you know? He would have killed me! I had no choice!"
"Y-You deserve to die. I would rather die than betray my friends!"
Wormtail cast several more spells, and Sirius bit his lip hard. His face turned paler than the snow beneath him.
"Stop!"
Seeing his godfather suffering, Harry struggled more fiercely, using his head to butt Wormtail. Wormtail responded by elbowing Harry''s scar with great force, knocking him unconscious.
Then he looked at the nearly exhausted Sirius, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
"Don''t talk big, Sirius. I know you''ve always looked down on me! It was you who suggested switching Secret Keepers, and you who caused James''s death! Besides, if you miss him so much, I''ll send you down to meet him!"
His eyes turned red, and his wand glowed green.
"Confringo!"
A clear voice echoed through the forest, followed by a brilliant sh of red light!
<em>Boom!!!</em>
The entire forest seemed to shake. The explosion sent a gust of wind mixed with snowkes like sand, sweeping past Sirius''s astonished gaze.
Wormtail was dead—
In the distance, a red-haired girl on a broomstick still held her wand aloft.
She was very pretty, but her expression was as cold as iron.
Sirius couldn''t believe that such a powerful sting Curse hade from a young girl.
If the lower-tier Death Eaters had this kind of power, their casualties back then would have increased by at least ten percent.
Beside her was a tall, skinny red-haired boy with freckles on his face. His mouth was wide open, staring at the girl. Sirius recognized him as Ron, one of Harry''s best friends and a member of the Weasley family.
"Are you crazy? What if you had hit Harry?"
"Stop whining, I had my aim," Ginny retorted, giving him an annoyed look. She then dived down on her broomstick, scooping Harry out of the snow.
Ron hurriedly followed on his Nimbus 2000.
"Sorry, Sirius, we opened the gift you sent Harry a bit early," Ron said apologetically, though it was Ginny who was now riding the Firebolt.
"It''s alright, thanks to you two, otherwise Harry and I would be in real danger."
Sirius struggled to stand up and took Harry from Ginny''s arms. "How did you get here?"
"I managed to contact Mr. Cyrus, but I was still worried, so Ginny came up with an idea," Ron exined, ncing at the owl circling overhead.
He had found them by following the owl Cyrus had sent.
Ginny ignored their conversation and, with a cold expression, looked at ck:
"Where. Is. That. Fucking. Cyrus?!"
"Ginny you shouldn''t cur—"
"Shut Up!"
