Chapter 213

H . P . S . T Chapter 213: Fighting the Inferi

Seeing Hermione’s legs trembling slightly, Evan approached her .

Hermione turned her head and looked back at Evan uneasily . Panic showed in her brown eyes, as if she was to say something, but she opened her mouth and nothing came out .

Evan knew that she should be nervous to the extreme .

Compared to the rest of them, she was the only girl present, facing monsters like the Inferi . The pressure put upon her must be immense .

Without hesitation, Evan gently held Hermione’s little hand, her palm was all sweaty .

Hermione, like a frightened fawn, subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back .

Evan didn’t let go, then she seemed to realize that it was him holding her hand and her face turned red .

“Evan…”

“Don’t be afraid, Hermione” Evan comforted her and said, “We’ll be all right, believe me, no matter what dangers may come, I will protect you . ”

“I know, I believe you,” Hermione nodded stiffly . With a reassuring smile, she took Evan’s hand and said in a firm voice,” I said it before; I’ll always believe in you . ”

Looking at Evan and Hermione whispering, Harry hesitated for a moment and quietly moved forward to Sirius .

He also had something to say to Sirius, his godfather .

“Harry, are you scared?” Sirius did not look back . He looked gloomy as he looked at the lake in front of him .

“I’m not scared,” Harry shook his head, unsure, “But I’m a bit nervous . I never thought that things would turn out like this…”

“Yeah, I didn’t think things would develop like this . ” Sirius was silent for a moment, and said with a complicated look: “I thought my brother Regulus was a stupid weak fool, but he was braver than I thought . In order to stop Voldemort’s plot, he paid with his life . I thought that Pettigrew was trustworthy, and suggested that he should be James and Lily’s Secret Keeper, but he was a despicable traitor . It was me who killed James and Lily . ”

Harry heard Sirius speaking about his parents, and didn’t know what to say .

He didn’t know how to comfort Sirius . In his opinion, Black didn’t have to blame himself for the death of his parents .

“Sirius…”

“I have been looking at the wrong person, I didn’t think about it, and I never thought of it…” Sirius’s mouth showed a bitter smile, frustrated, “It’s all my fault . I screwed up everything, that was the case with James, and the same goes with Regulus . If I could have talked to him that year, he probably wouldn’t have died… ”

“He is a hero, Sirius . ”

“Yes, he is . ” Sirius wiped his eyes and said with relief, “Harry, although I have been always misreading people, there’s one thing I’m sure about: you’re very much like your father, James . This is something that that I can’t be wrong about . I am proud of you . ”

Harry looked at Sirius . Although he had always heard others say that about him, said by Sirius, it was especially meaningful .

“Well, this is not the right place for such a pleasant chat . ” Sirius regained his usual regard and continued . “Come on, you can stand in front and let me see your dueling skills . ”

When everyone signaled that they were ready, Dumbledore tapped the stone basin with his wand and made a faint echo .

In the stone basin, the center of the green liquid, which could not be touched by anyway, suddenly appeared a ripple, spreading from the inside to the outside .

It was like a signal . The surface of the lake was no longer mirror-smooth; it was churning .

Evan looked up and saw a large herd of Inferius appearing in the dark lake .

White heads and hands were emerging from the dark water, men and women and children with sunken, sightless eyes were moving toward the rock .

“Petrificus Totalus!” yelled Harry in panic .

He pointed his wand at the nearest Inferius, and a red light hit him . He fell backward into the water with a splash; but immediately scrambled to his feet .

His withered hands crawled across the lake . His hollow, misty eyes stared at Harry . He was dragging his waterlogged rags behind him, and his sunken face looked grim and disdainful .

“Don’t worry, Harry, it shouldn’t be done like that,” Sirius said . “The Full Body-Bind Curse does not have such range . You have to wait until they get into the right range to attack . ”

Harry nodded, held his wand in his hand and kept an eye on the Inferius .

Two seconds later, the Inferius climbed onto the rock, holding up his white hands by the lake and crawled forward as if to pounce on Harry .

“Petrificus Totalus!” Harry bellowed again, swiping his wand through the air .

The red light flashed, the Inferius stumbled and fell down to the ground without scrambling to his feet .

“A good attack, that’s what it’s like, aiming at their heads . ” Sirius waved his wand and screamed a few spells . At the same time, he knocked down the three or four Inferi and shouted excitedly . “Good, Harry . Let’s try the Impedimenta and the Incarcerous Spells . You have learned these two spells I believe . ”

On the other side, Evan and Hermione were also fighting .

It could be seen that Hermione’s theoretical knowledge was very strong . She knew a lot of curses, and she mastered the specific skills of their casting . However, she was weak in actual combat ability, and she always shot off or pissed the critical hit .

Evan knew that this was mainly due to a psychological factor .

Although Hermione didn’t say anything, and she didn’t want Evan to worry about her, deep down she was afraid of those Inferi .

For this, the others had no way to help . Only Hermione could overcome it .

Evan looked at Hermione while knocking down a few Inferi .

He turned his head and looked at Dumbledore . The Headmaster held his wand and didn’t attack . He kept watching them all the time . There was no emotion in his blue eyes .

Evan thought about it and understood that Dumbledore was protecting them . He began to try stronger magic .

A white light flew out from the end of his wand . But though gashes appeared in their sodden rags and their icy skin, they had no blood to spill . They walked on, unfeeling, their shrunken hands outstretched toward him .

Evan nodded . As he had imagined, a spell like Sectumsempra, which had a greater damage to the body surface, was of little use against the Inferi .

They didn’t feel pain, they were not afraid of such injuries . That didn’t even slow them down .

With such enemies, this powerful magic wasn’t as useful as the Full Body-Bind Curse, Impedimenta and other magic of that kind .

Evan tried to attack a few more times . Dumbledore had just said that the best way to deal with the Inferi was to use fire, but Regulus had not yet been found, and it couldn’t be done . He was not in a hurry, but instead treated those Inferi as experimental subjects, ready to try Transfiguration and several other powerful spells .

A few days ago, he had a duel with Snape, which gave Evan a great inspiration . He had never thought that magic could be used in that way before .

He was going to practice with these Inferi, which was a rare opportunity, not only without danger but also to improve his spell-casting skills .
