Chapter 966 [Chapter 5] 51
The look of blank astonishment on Voldemort's face was fleeting.
So did Snape's face.
It never occurred to him that it was possible, but he suspected that the fake Lily knew all about it from the start - knew that the Elder Wand's next owner after Dumbledore was the tall, thin boy with the short platinum hair and the timid look, not Him, Severus Snape!
He heard Voldemort say softly: "But what does that matter? Even if you are right, Potter, what does it matter to you and me? You no longer hold that phoenix-feathered wand: we duel only by skill... ...After I kill you, I will deal with Draco Malfoy..."
"But you were too late," said Harry. "You missed your chance. I beat Draco Malfoy a few weeks ago, and I took this wand from him."
Harry shook his hawthorn wand, feeling all eyes in the Great Hall on it.
"So, that's how it ends up, isn't it?" Harry whispered, looking at Voldemort's ugly, twisted snake face, "Does the wand in your hand know that his last master was disarmed? If it Know... now I am the true master of the Elder Wand."
Snape gritted his teeth.
...so this is the truth of everything?The savior boy Harry Potter is the current owner of the Elder Wand?
So what is the purpose of all that fake Lily is doing?Misled Voldemort into thinking that she was the true owner of the Elder Wand, just to wash away the suspiciousness in Voldemort's mind of Severus Snape who shot and killed Dumbledore?Or... is she trying to cover the golden boy Harry Potter?Was it Dumbledore who told her to do these things?Or did she do it voluntarily?What is her purpose? !
Snape felt that he knew more information now, but it didn't help him sort out the truth.His mind was like a mess, like a dense fog, covering the fake Lily's real face and real motives, making him unable to see or think clearly.
There was silence in the field at some point, until someone called out his name.
"Look at what kind of traitor is hiding in the shadows over there." Voldemort casually pointed at the door with the Elder Wand in his hand.In the direction he pointed, the group of shivering students seemed to want to evade for a moment, but in the dark corner behind them, a man in a black robe walked out slowly, passing through the group of shivering The little trolls, who were exposed to the cold winter wind, stood in front of them, facing Voldemort without saying a word.
The eyes of others turned to him because of this.There was a burst of exclamation in the crowd, and there were surprises, admiration, anger, hatred, and shrinking eyes staring at him.But none of this seemed to affect the current headmaster of Hogwarts, who was appointed by Voldemort himself. He still stood upright in front of the group of Hogwarts seniors and some of his colleagues. , just a little behind Harry Potter, the savior boy who had just been resurrected from the dead, also facing the Dark Lord holding the Elder Wand.There was no expression on his pale face, and he looked straight at Voldemort with emptiness in his eyes.
"Severus Snape—" Voldemort drew out.Every syllable of his name rolled slowly on the dark lord's hideous, snakelike tongue, bringing up a feeling of suffocation and disgust.
"I guess you didn't bring me what I wanted, huh?" Voldemort began again, looking closely at Snape's face appreciatively.
"It is true that you no longer obey my orders, Severus, my once loyal servant." Voldemort stroked the nodules on the Elder Wand in his hand, and said mockingly and regretfully, "We will soon Success, kill all those who are of impure blood or dare to resist the Dark Lord, dominate the entire wizarding world-and you choose to betray me at this time? I have to say that the timing and direction you chose is really terrible-and The abilities you've shown aren't commensurate at all. Are you sure you're not under the Imperius Curse or the Love Potion?" He hissed, as if remembering what Harry had just said.
"Who did this Potter just say you... had a crush on? His mother?... Oh, that's amazing, haven't you ever had the slightest affection for Lily Evans?" He seemed to have Forgetting that more than ten years ago, the young Snape once begged him to spare the life of Beryl Foggton, and laughed at the man in black robe who was as silent as ever in front of him, acting as if Snape Betrayal seemed especially intolerable to him.
"That woman saved your life - I was going to kill you," he admitted bluntly, "Maybe I should have done that, and maybe you wouldn't have made another stupid choice - you now Going to side with Potter? Do you think that by doing so, the things you did before can be treated as if they didn't exist?"
He grinned, revealing a malicious grin. "Wake up, Severus. These disgustingly righteous people will never forget that you killed Albus Dumbledore, no matter how many convincing reasons you have—"
Snape opened his mouth and finally made a sound.
"I don't care if what I have done will be understood or recognized." He said hoarsely. "I just think this should end, and you should not live in this world, sir."
Voldemort looked as if he had heard something wrong, with a startled look on his face.But only for a short moment, he grinned again and shook his head regretfully.
"Look what I found—" His tone seemed to be full of pity and regret, and he dragged his voice, his blood-red vertical eyes fixed on his biggest opponent and most loyal servant in front of him.
"Oh, Severus, if I remember correctly, wasn't that last sentence I used to describe that filthy Mudblood?" he asked Snape, his tone soft and considerate.
The expression on Snape's face was blank for a second, and he quickly replied in a tone that couldn't be more flat: "It was she who answered you, sir."
"Oh, oh, oh—that's what that filthy Mudblood said before he died too! Thanks for reminding me—" Voldemort looked a little exaggeratedly surprised, and he turned to Harry with a strong tone of voice. Obvious sarcasm. "Potter, it seems that what you thought was far from the truth - you have been deceived! You want to fight the Dark Lord for those gorgeous lies, how ridiculous!..."
Harry looked slightly dazed for a moment, but he quickly strengthened his convictions and shouted, "No! That's impossible! Everything I said was told to me by Dumbledore and Professor Evans! They Having given their lives for what they believe in, you now intend to despicably smear their reputation!..."
Voldemort chuckled, as if he had just heard some very funny joke.Instead of trying to convince the stubborn Harry, he turned his gaze to Snape behind Harry.The latter's face was still blank and expressionless.
"What about you? What do you say, Severus?" he asked softly.
Snape was silent for a few seconds, then he squirmed his lips and replied calmly: "I don't think it's just Lily Evans or me, but most of the people present, that you shouldn't live in this place anymore. World, sir. I'm sorry, but I'm just stating a fact."
Voldemort's blood-red vertical eyes narrowed slowly.The smile receded from his face like a tide.
"You have the same absurd logic as Dumbledore," he said with great sympathy and regret. "The Dark Lord doesn't need such a stupid servant, even if he is loyal enough."
Snape was silent.
The magical sky above their heads suddenly burst into a golden-red light, and a small half of the dazzling sun appeared on the windowsill closest to them.The sun shone on the faces of both Voldemort and Harry Potter at the same time, and Voldemort's cheeks were instantly flushed red.
The ray of sunlight seemed to be some kind of triggering spell; the two of them raised their wands almost simultaneously.This action was like some kind of silent order, and at that moment, the other people in the field all acted almost at the same time.
Whether it's the people from Hogwarts or the Death Eaters, everyone is running, looking for a suitable hiding place while defending against possible attacks from the opponent, and at the same time sending out attack magic attacks to anyone on the opponent. curse.
Almost at the same time, Voldemort and Harry had exchanged a few attack spells quickly - they both dodged the other's attack one step faster - and Harry suddenly crouched low, avoiding the Elder Wand in Voldemort's hand Another red light was emitted.He seemed to think that it was unwise to go head-on like this, so he rolled sideways on the spot, hid behind a half-blow-down wall, and planned to continue attacking the Dark Lord.
Of course Voldemort couldn't stop there, and he ran after him as fast as he could, ignoring all the other spells flying towards him as if he was immune to all other attacks.
Snape moved along with those who started the fight.He shot quickly, and quickly brought down several of his former colleagues wearing hoods and masks—Antony Dolokhov collapsed with a scream in front of him, and he put away his wand expressionlessly and looked back He went, and happened to see a few steps behind him, the short Charms professor Flitwick was holding the wand he had just drawn, staring at him a little blankly.After a while, the little professor's stern face quickly softened, and he showed him a slightly distorted but kind enough smile.
"Well done, Severus!" he yelled at Snape, before turning and hastily running in the other direction to free the students who had tangled up with the other Death Eaters.In the melee of giants, centaurs, stone statues, house-elves, and normal humans, his diminutive figure was remarkably agile.
Snape was momentarily bewildered.He still remembered the panic he had fled the castle in a hurry the night before—Professor Flitwick was chasing after him in his pajamas, holding his wand, screaming "Stop! You're not allowed to kill anyone at Hogwarts!"; If Professor McGonagall hadn't rushed out of the crowd to confront him, he guessed that Dean Ravenclaw would have rushed forward without hesitation and planned to compete with him.
But now the little Head of Ravenclaw was applauding his actions benevolently, as if the confrontation and fierce battle in the Hogwarts Great Hall the night before had never happened.
... all this because of his own choice?Or because of everything that fake Lily did?
Before he could think clearly, he heard a woman screaming.
"Don't touch my daughter, you bitch!"
He reacted suddenly, and while gripping his wand again, he ran quickly towards the source of the voice.He saw Molly Weasley running, throwing off her cloak and freeing her arms; about 50 meters away from Voldemort, Bellatrix was dealing with three people at the same time: Hermione, Ginny and Lou Na.And Molly Weasley was running towards them.Bellatrix turned around on the spot, saw the new challenger, and laughed hoarsely.
