Chapter 200 Ending (Catching Insects)
Chapter 200 Ending (Catching Insects)
On the other side, at Hogwarts.
In the field of the second round, everyone was in a noisy and panic because of the sudden disappearance of a warrior and a hostage.
Queenie and Hermione stood up in the audience, craned their necks, and Ron burrowed into the crowd, looking for news.
But to Hermione's surprise and suspicion, Principal Dumbledore showed no intention of maintaining order at all.In fact, he was hurrying towards the castle.
Both Dumbledore and Snape had guessed in advance that the fake "Umbridge" and "Karkaroff" would make some moves in the second level; however, they did not expect that the Dark Lord would be so bold as to use Harley To attract attention, even, it is very likely that two conspiracies are going on at the same time.
However, Snape has no time for him for the time being, so he can only resolve the current crisis in the campus as soon as possible, and then go to look for Harry. Merlin blesses him not to be late.
Dumbledore said that on Harry's side, he would recruit other members of the Order of the Phoenix. Snape snorted coldly, completely distrusting the abilities of these people.
*****************
Bellatrix Lestrange, who had been hiding on the Durmstrang ship since the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament, finally waited for the opportunity to flex her muscles.
She walked through the deserted castle silently, and almost all the students and teachers went to watch the second level of the game.It doesn't matter if she meets nosy students, she can kill them at will.
She remembered that it had been a long time since she had prostrated herself on the ground and kissed the foot of her master's robe because of this task.She is very sad about this, because loyalty to her master is the whole meaning of her life; at the same time, she hates all the wizards like Dumbledore even more, because they make the master great and cannot tell the world.
Of course, Bellatrix hated Harry Potter the most—a hatred so deep that... hundreds of Cruciatus couldn't express it.
Because Harry Potter is essentially the woman the master gave the most attention to, Bellatrix couldn't help gnashing her teeth every time she thought about it, and imagined herself eating her flesh and drinking her blood.
Fortunately, the master at least entrusted herself with the important task of stealing some Ravenclaw treasure, and only herself... which made her very grateful.
So what if you need to sneak into Hogwarts, where Dumbledore sits?She thought she could even dig out her own heart with her bare hands, if the Master asked.
And the master's preparations are always perfect, she just needs to enter this mysterious room and find a crown...
"So, centuries of students have been using this room to hide things?" A cheerful voice suddenly sounded behind Bellatrix, and she immediately raised her wand and turned around, but her Cruciatus Curse was blocked by Dumbledore. Lido disappeared with a flick of a wave...
Bellatrix was trembling all over, this kind of magical power that was almost parallel to the master... When did the old guy follow her!
"Hogwarts always has so many secrets, but Tom actually discovered it." Dumbledore smiled, and with almost admiring eyes, he checked the castle room where the two were - there was almost a cathedral here It is so big, and the beams of light cast by the high windows look like a city full of high walls. These "tall buildings" are all piled up of items hidden by Hogwarts people in the past.
"I think I finally understand where all the broken furniture that was consumed in the castle ended up," Dumbledore chuckled. "It was all hidden here by lazy house-elves..."
Bellatrix hated Dumbledore's hypocrisy and leisure since she was a student. She really wanted to tear the old face in front of her and see if his fearful expression was more exciting than others...
With a wave of her wand, the pile of debris beside Dumbledore collapsed towards the old man.Bella originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to escape—the crown was not taken for the time being, and the owner's treasure could not be exposed.
But what she couldn't understand was that Dumbledore's spells seemed to be able to release two at the same time—the moment he blocked the collapsed object, Bella was also blocked by an invisible force from escaping.
"Surrender, Bellatrix. You have chosen the wrong path, and you are wasting your talents and your life."
It was this annoying tone of exhortation again, Bella sneered, her eyes were crazy, "You shouldn't waste time with me, old guy. While you are talking nonsense, your precious little princess Harry Potter, is Tortured to death by the master."
Dumbledore paused, "Some of us are already dealing with it. As for you, the best choice is to take the initiative to put down the wand."
"I don't think so, useless old thing, you always act like you think you're better than everyone, you're so high up...it's disgusting," she made an exaggerated motion to vomit, and actually pressed the She glanced at the brooch hidden in her chest, which was given to her by Narcissa.
"She wants to escape!" A person jumped out of the dark and cast a restraining spell on her, but this person was still a step too late.But his appearance made Bella roar.
"Snape! You betrayed..." Bellatrix disappeared in place before finishing her sentence.
Dumbledore looked silently at the place where Lestrange disappeared, "You exposed yourself, Severus, it was too reckless."
Snape also had some regrets, but he was more angry. Seeing that they almost broke Voldemort's left and right arms once and for all, he missed the opportunity. "You should stop her in time! You're too slow! Maybe Lestrange is right, you're really old and useless!" he said mercilessly.
"That's a special portkey from the Malfoy family." Dumbledore didn't take Snape's angry words to heart at all, he strolled around the courtyard, wandering among the piles of sundries, "ah, I guess... ...that's the thing."
His eyes were full of respect, and he slowly took off a rusty and dark crown, "Rowena Ravenclaw's treasure."
Afterwards, he walked swiftly, left the mysterious utility room, and walked towards his principal's office, while Snape strode after him.
And there was already an owl from the Ministry of Magic waiting for him in the headmaster's office.
"It seems that our little warrior has once again proved his unparalleled courage," Dumbledore smiled at the unfolded letter, "Harry killed Voldemort."
Snape's eyes widened, and he firmly grasped the armrest of the chair, "Are you sure? You still have a Horcrux in your hand!"
"We can only know the details when Harry returns," Dumbledore quickly replied with a text message, letting out an owl. "In any case, even if Voldemort is not dead, at least he has lost his body that can move freely again."
"And now," the old principal put the crown on the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a basilisk fang sealed in a glass container, "I believe that it is most appropriate for you to destroy this Horcrux."
"Me?" Snape held his breath, he couldn't explain what he was feeling at this moment...excited?pleasure?Nothing seemed quite right, "Why... me?"
"I hope this brings you some kind of 'break', or 'end'." Dumbledore's fingers were spired again, blue eyes flashed behind half-moon glasses, "I was never a 'revenge' This behavior is surrounded, but I understand its irreplaceable role in clearing the knot, and I will not prevent others from obtaining some kind of peace from this behavior."
"You know what I mean, Severus," he said in a low voice, each word struck Snape's heart, "maybe you can avenge Lily through this."
Snape let out a long breath, his body stiffened, his heart was about to jump out of his chest.Ask yourself, he has never had such extravagant expectations...
And when Dumbledore offered him this opportunity, he suddenly felt... Maybe he could really avenge Lily... Thinking of this, he panicked and found that his eye sockets started to heat up.
As if afraid of Dumbledore's remorse, Snape immediately picked up the basilisk fang.
"The lack of any protective magic on the diadem may have come from the urgency of time, or the fact that Voldemort was just so arrogant that no one would ever discover his secret." Dumbledore leaned back in his chair with a calm expression, "You must act quickly, don't give the soul here any chance to perform, you are much stronger than him, Severus." "
Snape nodded, and with a decisiveness that surprised Dumbledore, he poked directly.
The diadem screamed in pain, leaving black blood—
"It's not only for Lily, but also for Harry." Snape slowly lowered his fangs and whispered to himself.
He didn't use much energy, but he felt tired now... However, it was a kind of calming fatigue, like just finishing a good morning run...
He found himself not enjoying the process very much, maybe his reflex arc was too long?He sincerely hopes that the sense of enjoyment that should be born will increase with the increase in the number of times of aftertaste in the future.
"It's a pity for the Founder's Treasure," Dumbledore shook his head lightly, "but I believe Rowena Ravenclaw will not want her crown to be stained with evil. Ah - Harley has arrived."
He waved his wand, and the door to the principal's room opened, and a girl in a wet gown with curls sticking to her cheek walked in.
Snape rose to meet her, wanting to tell her the good news—another Horcrux had been destroyed.
But when his words reached his lips, he was suppressed by an invisible atmosphere, and Harry stared at him with unpredictable eyes.
He noticed that she was holding a bloody samurai sword in her hand, but it wasn't the weapon that surprised him the most—it was the girl's eyes, she had never looked at him like this before.
Halle has always been a decisive person, and she is no different today.
"Was it you who told Voldemort the prophecy and caused him to come after me as a baby?"
"And... just like that, killing my parents?"
The author has something to say:
*I replied to a little angel before saying that all the bosses in this article are from the HP series. In fact, it is not very accurate. I should fight a few bat-type minions later.
*Ha 6, Chapter 24, the original words "The streets and alleys are piled with crumbling broken furniture, which may have been stuffed here to hide evidence of wrong magic, or hidden by those house elves who maintain the castle's dignity. got up."
Therefore, it is a reasonable guess based on the original book that the house-elf stuffed the furniture in.
