Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

After suppressing Mike, Link's consciousness finally returned to his body again.

And the moment he opened his eyes, what came into view was Emily, with red and swollen eyes, her hands clasped together in prayer, as well as Skar, Arkam, and Yoyo encircling him and watching.

Compared to Emily, Skar's reaction was obviously much quicker.

The instant they saw Link open his eyes, they howled and pounced on him, working hard to lick Link's face.

And then, they were all driven away by the jealous Arkam.

"Link! Are you alright?"

Emily also reacted, loosening her clasped hands, caressing Link's cheek as she choked up and spoke.

"Of course, I'm perfectly fine!"

While saying this, Link's gaze fell on the pendant of Spiritual Elixir swaying in front of Emily's chest.

Just now, Emily had been holding that thing in both hands while praying.

And at this moment, it was already empty inside.

Obviously, this was probably the reason why his Brain Seal Technique experience had surged just now.

"Phew! Thank you, Emily."

Letting out a long breath, Link said sincerely, "I'll personally make another one for you."

Hearing this, Emily didn't reply, just stood there smiling while wiping her tears.

Of course, at such a critical time, Emily didn't act sentimental.

She quickly adjusted her mood and recounted everything that had happened while Link was unconscious.

And when he heard that Professor Snape, even with a wand that had been destroyed by one-third, still went alone to pursue Sirius's group, Link's brows furrowed deeply.

It had to be said, Snape's action was definitely impulsive.

A wand damaged to this extent was almost equivalent to losing the ability to cast spells.

In such a situation, he absolutely would not be a match for Sirius Black and Lupin.

This gave Link the urge to immediately go support him.

But at this moment, there was still another matter waiting for Link to handle.

That was Peter Pettigrew.

Although, as bait, Peter Pettigrew was now useless…

Link knew very well, later, it would be Peter Pettigrew who secretly went to bring the original Voldemort out from the deep mountains and forests, and helped him successfully resurrect.

For the sake of the next few years' stability, Peter Pettigrew had to die.

Then the problem came, exactly which path should Link prioritize?

After a brief thought in his mind, Link looked gravely at Arkam and Emily and said, "Emily, I have a very important task for you to do!"

"Uh, y-you say…"

As if frightened by Link's sudden seriousness, Emily stammered.

"Professor Snape will definitely have trouble over there, I must go support him immediately."

Link said, "But I also don't want to give up on Peter Pettigrew. So, I need you to take Arkam, Yoyo, and these surviving Skar to kill that filthy old rat!"

Hearing this, Emily's previously panicked expression gradually steadied. Without much hesitation, she immediately nodded.

Then, Link smiled faintly, pressed the tip of his wand against Arkam's head, and used magic and a sensory spell to break the seal on it.

Amid the unique hissing of snakes, Arkam finally returned to its original form.

Arkam was ecstatic; just like it often did in the past, it coiled into a "snake pancake" centered on Link and kept hissing at him.

Link also laughed.

Although Peter Pettigrew was cunning and knew secret techniques, Skar, who had already memorized his scent, would definitely be able to find him again.

And in terms of battle, Emily, Arkam, and Yoyo were not to be underestimated.

After calming the excited Arkam, Link carefully helped Emily onto its back, then, still somewhat worried, instructed,

"Your safety is the top priority!"

"Don't worry!"

Emily smiled and nodded, then rode Arkam away into the wilderness, accompanied by Yoyo and a group of Skar.

After seeing Emily off, Link quickly drank two bottles of potion, then transformed into a phantom and followed Snape's footprints to give chase.

———

At the same time, about two kilometers from the site of the Shrieking Shack, in a small valley, Lupin and the others were standing opposite Snape.

Sirius looked furious.

Originally, they had had a chance to immediately catch up to and seize Peter Pettigrew.

But to their surprise, with the help of Polyjuice Potion and Snape's specially enhanced booster potion (a potion that could temporarily strengthen physical qualities), Snape had found them quickly.

This gave Lupin quite a headache.

He frowned, somewhat helplessly saying to Snape, "Severus, you saw just now, Peter Pettigrew really isn't dead. I think that's enough to prove we weren't lying. Our urgent task now should be to capture him, then let the truth come to light! Don't you think?"

"Whatever truth or not has nothing to do with me," Snape said coldly. "I need you to hand those three children over to me."

"You want me to hand Harry over to you? Dream on! You snot-nosed git!" Sirius roared angrily first.

But hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in Lupin's eyes.

Because in his view, handing Harry and the others to Snape was actually a pretty good choice.

On one hand, he knew Snape would absolutely not harm Harry.

On the other hand, if they wanted to keep pursuing Peter Pettigrew, bringing along these three burdens really wasn't ideal.

Thinking so, Lupin turned to look at the three little ones behind him with a questioning gaze.

Sensing his look, Ron was the first to nod repeatedly like a pecking chicken.

This was no surprise, because in his eyes, although Snape wasn't a good person, at least he was more reliable than the crazy Sirius Black.

Hermione kept her head down, silent.

As for Harry, the instant he met Lupin's gaze, it was like being pricked by a needle, he jumped up, speaking loudly and clearly, one word at a time, "I will absolutely not go back with him! I will catch Peter Pettigrew myself! And personally avenge my father!"

As soon as these words came out, Sirius was overjoyed, giving a thumbs-up, "Hahaha! Well said, Harry! You're exactly like your father!"

Hearing this, Harry forced a smile at Sirius Black that looked worse than crying.

Lupin sighed deeply.

He had to admit Sirius was right, Harry and James were indeed exactly alike, equally stubborn and headstrong.

Only now, what to do about Snape?

Honestly speaking, if they really fought, the five of them together wouldn't be a match for Snape.

And just as he was tangled in thought, Hermione, who had been silent at the side earlier, suddenly spoke.

"P-Professor Lupin, I don't believe Snape would be so concerned about our safety. But he still put in so much effort to catch up to us. So, I think the person he really wants to find should be you."

Hermione paused, then hesitantly asked, "So, is there some kind of grudge between you?"
