Hogwarts: My Yorozuya has no taboos!

Chapter 68 The Golden Legend of Hogwarts

Boom!

Two dazzling golden rays of light swept across the fourth-floor corridor!

It's as if a high-speed train is speeding through a completely enclosed tunnel, the mobilized air making a rumbling noise, and the strong wind pressure lifting up a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, exposing floor tiles that have been covered in dust for centuries!

In the blink of an eye, Ares had crossed half a mile of the fourth-floor corridor from the trophy display room and stood in front of the three little wizards, Fred, George, and Lee, who had stumbled into a desperate situation!

【We're doomed!!!】

[They went too far!!!]

[I'm going to die!!!]

The moment the door opened, in that fleeting, eternally frozen moment, all three boys thought they were having a nightmare.

There was no hospitable Mr. Lu Wei in this room, only a dog.

Yes, it had three heads, three pairs of menacing orange-yellow eyes that darted around, three constantly twitching noses, and three drooling, ferocious-looking dog-like creatures.

Its enormous size occupies every inch of space from the floor to the ceiling!

At that moment, the three boys realized that Dumbledore's prohibition of them from entering the corridor and his warning of the possible tragic death was not just his sense of humor, but a real warning!

The monstrous dog, thicker than the four legs of an African elephant put together, had its front paws raised to their highest point, with sharp claws at least two feet long and gleaming coldly. The next second, Jiujiang appeared above their heads.

Hopeless!

The same desperate thought arose in the minds of the three boys!

Amidst the deafening roar of the three-headed dog, the three boys smelled the foul stench of the air—their fate was to be torn to pieces by the dog's claws, swallowed, digested, and turned into stinking excrement.

In a daze, the three boys seemed to see Death appear, sharpening his scythe and raising it menacingly.

They can't do anything.

I can't cry, I can't scream, I can't escape.

The three boys could only stand there, filled with fear and despair, watching the claw that was judging their fate approach inch by inch... Their lives were down to the blink of an eye!

Then-

Clang!

Amidst the Cerberus's continuous howls, a clear, crisp sound of a string being plucked suddenly broke through!

Immediately afterwards, Fred, George, and Lee noticed that the world in front of them had changed—just as the calm surface of the water reflecting the clear moon was disturbed by an unexpectedly falling withered leaf... The world in the three people's field of vision also 'shaked' unintentionally.

Someone forcefully cut in between them and the three-headed dog!

It was a man with black hair and a thin back.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of the three boys, the man exuding a cool aura made a 'comical' gesture.

He slowly raised his right hand, opened his palm, and met the three-headed dog's paw, which was a hundred times larger than him!

Does he think he can stop it with sheer force? That's ridiculous!

The three boys, whose faces were still etched with fear, thought to themselves...

But they couldn't laugh, not because they were grieving for their impending deaths, but because the figure in front of them radiated a certain energy that seemed to clamp down on their throats like iron clamps, suffocating them!

Boom!

The deafening bang seemed to make the three boys, who were helplessly waiting for their deaths, feel dizzy and nauseous!

It was very painful, but death did not come!

A wall suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking the Cerberus's powerful claw attack!

It wasn't a real wall made of thick granite, but rather a wall made of solid "crystal bricks".

Under the faint moonlight, the crystal wall shimmered with a faint rainbow of colors, a truly magnificent sight!

"roll."

The three boys heard the man speak again, his calm voice like rumbling thunder, carrying a terrifying majesty!

[So cool! His voice even echoed!]

Fred's frozen thoughts began to flow, and he inwardly gave a shout of praise. Then, he saw a scene that was enough to make one's blood boil—

The man's thin body began to radiate a fierce wind forward. The wind was so intense that the three-headed dog, which was momentarily stunned after the attack was blocked, scrambled to the corner of the room and curled up as much as possible. Its three huge, ferocious heads were buried in its two front paws, and it kept whimpering!

Once the three-headed dog was no longer a threat, the man turned around—

It's Professor Delfino!

This didn't surprise the three boys too much—they had recognized him from his back long ago, and besides, what wizard at Hogwarts at that time, apart from Professor Dumbledore, could have such abilities?!

However, the Professor Delfino in front of him was not the usual lazy and unpretentious professor.

Professor Delfino, who turned to face them, had a calm expression, but his whole body was surrounded by an aura that made them tremble... even to the point of fainting. His eyes were not the clear black they usually had, but rather seemed to contain two golden suns!

Those two flames were so intense... as if they were about to leap out of the 'holder's' eye sockets; just glancing at them would cause a burning pain in the eyes.

George Weasley moved his dry lips, as if to say something—

Ares raised his hand again to cover his eyes, his thin shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

A moment later, he removed his hand from his hiding place, and his eyes no longer shone with golden fire as before. His intense gaze softened considerably, though two golden sparks, like candles, still burned in the center of his pupils.

"Take your things and come with me."

Ares calmly watched the three dumbfounded boys, then walked steadily past them and out of the room.

Fred, George, and Lee looked at each other without saying a word. They obediently shouldered their packages and followed Professor Delfino dejectedly.

The night remained deep as the group slowly walked out of the corridor located to the right of the stairs on the fourth floor of the castle.

"Achoo!"

Standing at the corner of the stairs, Ares abruptly stopped and sneezed. He rubbed his nose with a finger, glanced casually at the lion tapestry hanging to the floor, and muttered something under his breath.

"This is terrible, I'm allergic to the smell of hair oil... You three, come to the third floor and follow me to my office."

With that, he went downstairs on his own.

Fred, George, and Lee naturally dared not voice any objections and obediently followed him downstairs.

Darkness quickly swallowed their footsteps, and the castle returned to silence.

A gentle breeze entered the castle through the corridor, stirring the hanging tapestries.

In the crisp, cool air, Severus Snape broke free of his illusion and revealed his true form.

Watching the direction the group had left in, Severus moved his lips, his sallow face darkening with an unprecedented gloom...
