Chapter 163 Chapter 163
You can't escape, Sofina!
There is no escape!
I don't know when, Voldemort still invaded my brain, leaving some threatening messages to disturb my mind, so that I dare not close my eyes at night.
Judging from Voldemort staying in the bank before, Harry and the others have already stolen the Horcrux hidden there, and I have also destroyed the crown, Voldemort is already in a hurry.
I hid alone in an abandoned house in Hogsmeade, healing myself silently. A large number of Death Eaters outside were patrolling the pickets, turning all places other than Hogwarts into my own territory.
I know that Voldemort didn't dare to break into Hogwarts easily. There are Dumbledore's cronies there, and now there is no Snape there to support him. Hogwarts is a fortress.So the safest place for me at the moment is also Hogwarts.
In fact, as long as I escaped to Hogsmeade, it would be easier for me to go back to school. Before, Draco and I often came to Hogsmeade through a secret passage in order to play truant.It's just that the outside is heavily guarded, so I must seize the opportunity.
I looked out from the crack of the sealed window, and the world outside was drizzling with light rain.There were a few tall people walking back and forth, wrapped in thick coats, talking and laughing.
When a few people approached slowly, I could see their faces clearly. It was Blaise and Goyle.
Their families have all invested in Voldemort's command, and they are living a prosperous life now.
"I really don't understand what else we are going to study. Hogwarts is like that. I also want to join the war with my brothers and serve the Dark Lord!"
"It is also the order of the Dark Lord that we go to school. I heard that Snape has rebelled, and Hogwarts is now back in the hands of those people."
"What? Snape rebelled? Whoever rebelled would not rebel! Could it be that Draco's incident was also because of..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, idiot! I heard that Snape met Sofina before his rebellion... You also know that what happened to Sofina's family, she must not be willing to do this..."
Immediately afterwards, their voices became smaller and smaller, and they walked slowly together, whispering in their mouths.
I was still hiding in the house, waiting for them to walk away slowly, until they disappeared, then I secretly opened a crack in the door and slipped out.
I ran all the way into the woods with my wand, not daring to stop for a moment.
As soon as I entered the forest, I didn't run for a while before I was covered by a strong hand and dragged all the way to a hiding place.
In a panic, I struggled to break free from this hand, looking at the three people in front of me, I almost cried out: "Harry...!"
Harry made a silent gesture to me.
"...Potter..." I lowered my volume and looked at them. They also looked like they had escaped from death. They were all dirty and their wounds hadn't been treated in time. "Why are you here? Thought you were already back at Hogwarts..."
"I was going to ask why you're here, Sofina...!" Harry looked at me.The last time we saw each other was not long after Christmas, and it was time for school to start again.
"Didn't Malfoy take you back to heal your wounds?"
He looked at me incredulously.
"Go back?" I smiled bitterly, "Where can I go back? After that, we returned to Hogwarts immediately, but Draco was arrested by his father because he let you go, so now I am alone... ..."
"You went back to Hogwarts, that Horcrux..." As Voldemort's last Horcrux, Harry naturally felt the other ones in his heart. He had already felt the same as Voldemort when the crown was destroyed.
I nodded.
"You destroyed the Horcruxes so easily!" Ron on the side had an exaggerated expression, "Do you know what we went through to destroy them? Merlin! I didn't believe it when Harry said it!"
"Because I know a lot of things, you know." I pointed to my head.
"What, what do you know?" Harry looked at me puzzled.
Hermione took the lead and walked closer to the depths of the forest, telling us to hurry up.
In this way, I joined the gold trio and acted with them.
"What do you know, Sofina?" Harry continued to ask the question just arrived.
It was only at this time that I realized that the three people who had been running around didn’t know what happened to me. They were obsessed with destroying Horcruxes and didn’t know the real me. Even if more than half of the people who know me now know that I have God's perspective.
My life experience is no longer a secret, so I told them the truth, from when Astoria got the truth mirror to why I destroyed the Horcrux, I told them all in detail.
The three of them were obviously shocked by my story. They didn't expect that I, who usually "hook shoulders" with Malfoy, would also have such a wonderful background.
"Meaning, you knew everything from the beginning?" Hermione walked in the front, she turned and walked backwards and looked at me, "Then why didn't you change from the beginning... I mean, you didn't Did you expect your result today?"
"Yeah, if changes are made, everything will be different." Harry echoed, his eyes were different from Hermione's. Hermione was just asking a question, and I heard a hint of it from Harry's words. Blame, "Voldemort would not have been resurrected, so many people would not have died for it, and the war would not have broken out."
"You think too simply, Harry." I looked down at the road under my feet, "I don't have that ability."
"So what are you doing now?" Harry asked.
The four of us were silent for a long time, and after Harry finished his last sentence, none of us wanted to speak again.
After walking for a while, I suddenly remembered something important. I walked to Harry's side and stuffed the bottle Snape gave me into his hand.
"What's this?" Harry asked.
"Professor Snape asked me to give it to you."
"Snape?" Harry looked at the bottle in his hand suspiciously.
I don't know how to explain it to him: "You can use Dumbledore's memory basin to see it when you go back... This is what the professor wants to give you, please keep it safe."
Harry felt baffled by what I said, and just casually put the bottle in his pocket: "I'm going back to Hogwarts to 'visit' him."
"Snape is no longer at Hogwarts." I followed him closely, "Voldemort found out about my destruction of the Horcrux. He wanted to kill me, but Snape saved me."
Harry was slightly taken aback: "What about him?"
"He was still haunting Voldemort when I escaped."
Harry didn't ask any more questions, nor did he speak any more. He just kept his eyes fixed on the front, and his steps became more and more steady.
In this way, there was silence between us again.
Maybe the three of them talked less before I joined. After all, after going through so many hardships, who has the energy to get together and chat on twitter.It's just that I'm here, and let them go silent and change the quality. If I want to say why, it's because I saw Ron who was uncomfortable all over.
He followed Hermione, looking around
Hermione is leading the way
I was at the back with Harry.
All of a sudden, the two people in front stopped.
"Death Eaters." Hermione looked at the shadow in front of her, and lowered her voice and called to us.
We, who were still suffering from silence just now, suddenly entered a state of alert.
"Front Street ahead, that's our only exit." Hermione's tone changed a lot, and only then did I realize that we had almost passed through the grove.
"But it's blocked, what should I do?" Ron looked back at their leader, Harry Potter.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I bit my lip and walked forward: "Let me hold them back, you take this opportunity..."
"No." Harry grabbed my arm, forcing me to stop.
I looked back at him, into his eyes under the glasses.
"I'm not sacrificing anyone else," Harry said.
"Then we can only force our way in now." Hermione walked over, "As long as we cross that street, we can return to Hogwarts."
"Then force it." Harry squeezed my arm slightly harder.
"We don't know the number of each other at all, and besides, almost all the patrolling here are adult Death Eaters, we are not opponents!" Although Harry's determination made me a little shaken, but in order to achieve the overall situation, I still opposed their suggestion, "Let me go out first, and you guys will follow..."
"Shut up!" suddenly Harry yelled at me.This sound scared everyone
I was pulled by his arm and stared blankly at him.
"Since you are following us now, don't mention your bad ideas! Ferrex!" It seemed that the Horcrux journey for the past few months had tortured him, "Take out your wand, shut your mouth, Keep up!"
After speaking, he let go of my hand, pulled out his wand and walked forward.
"He hasn't closed his eyes for two days." Hermione looked at me, shook her head helplessly, and explained what made Harry become like this, "He has lost a lot during this period, and he doesn't want anyone to stop because of injured while protecting him."
"I understand." I nodded
The savior also has the distress of the savior. Everyone put their trust in him and sacrificed for him desperately, but who really cared about his feelings?
Rather than sacrificing countless companions, I think Harry Potter is more willing to face countless enemies. Even if he is alone, he has no worries.
Unable to refute his wishes, we could only follow along with our wands, watching the street slowly appearing from the bushes, we couldn't help swallowing.
There could be a tough fight ahead.
Just as he was moving forward, someone stepped on a dry branch and made a clicking sound, attracting the attention of several Death Eaters patrolling the street.
As they approached the bushes where we were hiding, I just felt my heart beating faster and faster.
Harry stretched out his hand to instruct us not to move yet.
"Potter!"
A cry came from nowhere, which attracted the attention of the Death Eaters, and they turned around and ran in another direction.
"Quick!" We also immediately set off to escape from this place.
"This way!" Harry led us into an alley, the ground here was uneven, and the rain splashed by stepping on it could touch the knees.Of course, no one will take that much into account.
The three of us ran desperately behind Harry, for fear that the Death Eaters would find us and come after us.
Harry led us into a house in the deepest part of the alley.
The room is small and damp.The first time I jumped in, I saw a huge painting hanging on the wall. In the painting, a woman was standing, smiling gently at us.
"Why are you here! Are you playing hide-and-seek with those Death Eaters?" An old man stood in the room, staring at us with unfriendly eyes.
"My God, Dumbledore!" Ron cried out looking at his face. After receiving everyone's strange eyes, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, and asked Hermione beside him in a low voice. , "Did I admit my mistake?"
Hermione looked at him and nodded.
"Aberforth Dumbledore." Harry called out the old man's name accurately, "I know you."
"I know you too, Harry Potter." Aberforth brought out a plate of hard steamed buns and pumpkin juice from the cupboard, as if he had prepared the food long ago and was waiting for us here.
Seeing the food, Hermione and Ron almost jumped on it. They looked like they hadn't eaten for many days.Hermione was fine, and Ron almost shoved the china plate into his mouth too.
I looked at the bread, and my stomach was growling, but I stood still and didn't move.Hermione seemed to hear my stomach rumbling, she turned to look at me, and I gave her an embarrassed smile.
"Eat." She broke off the bread in her hand and handed it to me, "You must be starving too."
"Thank you." I took the bread and stuffed it into my mouth.
"It seems that you have brought an unexpected visitor, Potter." Aberforth stretched his neck and looked at me standing behind them.
"Sofina is our partner," Harry explained.
"Partnering with Death Eaters?" Aberforth laughed twice, "It's really your style."
Harry turned his head and glanced at me, he adjusted his glasses: "She was also forced, Sofina has now betrayed Voldemort."
Aberforth raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Your courage is commendable. Since you betrayed Voldemort, why don't you destroy the mark on yourself?"
He points to my arm.
"In the past few years, many people said that they were forced to become Death Eaters, but they all kept their marks and waited for their master's rebirth. Are you the same? Miss?"
"No." I hurriedly explained, and pulled my sleeves, "Can this mark be destroyed? How to do it? I don't know."
"It's very simple, I can help you, it depends on whether you are willing or not."
"I am willing!"
"The process can be painful."
"I will!" I walked up to Aberforth and raised my arms under his face, "Voldemort will track me because of the mark, and I must destroy it."
"Hahaha... good! She's a tough girl!" Aberforth pushed a bench in front of me, motioned for me to sit down, and then took out his wand.
At the same time, Harry and his party began to observe the room seriously, especially the huge painting on the wall and the woman in the painting.
"We want to go back to Hogwarts." Harry looked at the painting and said the purpose of this trip, "Can you help us?"
Aberforth gestured on my arm with a wand, like a doctor holding a needle: "Go back? Why go back? I think you should run for your life now?"
He suddenly poked his wand into my arm, and a sharp pain came to me, and I couldn't help but scream.
The other three looked back.
"Hold it! It's just so painful!" Aberforth restrained the arm I wanted to retract with force, and he slid his wand over the tattoo, which felt like peeling my skin.
"You should have made this kind of awareness when you chose to betray the mysterious man! Pain is the only price you have to pay!" Aberforth yelled at me, and I was so frightened by his aura that I shut my mouth , I could only grit my teeth and take a deep breath.
Aberforth watched me obediently shut my mouth, then nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Harry and the others who were terrified: "Leave when you have enough rest, I don't want you to implicate me."
"Leave, where are you going?" Harry was puzzled, he thought the old man in front of him would give them a helping hand.
"Go anywhere, run for your life, stop doing these fearless struggles." Aberforth said, "Once Albus dies, You-Know-Who has already won."
"He'll never win," I said, holding back the pain.
Aberforth glanced at me, didn't speak, and still helped me remove the mark seriously.
"You let us run for our lives? But you helped us!" Harry took out a mirror from his pocket, then pointed to another mirror on the wall, "You reminded us through this double-sided mirror, right? Dobby! Dobby was also sent by you."
Aberforth didn't seem to hear him, just focusing on the movements of his hands.
"Since you helped us, why did you let us give up?"
"Because my brother died!" He glanced at the woman on the wall, "Although he died well."
"What does it mean to die well!" Aberforth's attitude made Harry a little angry, and he pinched the mirror in his hand firmly, "Although I don't know what happened between you brothers, when Dumbledore died, he still Still feeling guilty! You haven’t seen him go mad because of guilt! You shouldn’t jump to conclusions!”
"Guilty?" Aberforth couldn't see any emotion on his face, "Have you seen it?"
"I've seen it!" Harry yelled, "I've seen Albus Dumbledore who is so confused and helpless!"
In great people, there is also the most vulnerable side.
Aberforth scratched all the tattoos on my hand with his wand, and I broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
But at this moment of confrontation, I knew I shouldn't speak up.
The last step was done, and Aberforth let go of my hand.
"But he's dead."
"It is precisely because he is dead that the rest of the work will be done by me."
"Do you think you kids can win?"
Aberforth stood up and dropped his wand carelessly on the table.
"You're free from Voldemort," he whispered to me.
I looked down at my battered arm, which was healing rapidly due to Aberforth's magic, but the pain didn't ease at all.
"I can win." My voice was hoarse and weak.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that?" Aberforth looked back at me, thinking I was just talking to myself.
I looked up at him: "I said, we can win."
Aberforth laughed. He thought I was ridiculous.
Seeing that I was in a cold sweat, Harry walked over, held my shoulder, and wanted to say something, but I interrupted him: "No matter how powerful Voldemort is, he will never be able to defeat Harry Potter, This has been proven 17 years ago. Whoever can kill him the first time, why can't he kill him the second time."
"It was an accident that time, but this time he was fully prepared." He sighed and shook his head
"We're well prepared, Aberforth," Harry said, "You're Dumbledore too, and I'm sure you'll understand me."
"Dumbledore?" Aberforth murmured his own name in a low voice, his expression was a little dazed. It took him a long time to recover, and he smacked his mouth, "If you want to die, go..."
