Chapter 1243 Unacceptable Truth(1/2)
"Harry!"
As soon as he opened the door and walked into the principal's office, Harry heard a cry of surprise and almost bumped into Mrs. Weasley who came out.
"It's great that you're okay, Ally."
Fleur also stepped forward to hug Harry and kiss his cheek.
"How's the situation over there in the Astronomy Tower?" Professor Slughorn asked nervously, "Where are the Death Eaters and what's going on with the Dark Mark."
"The battle at the Astronomy Tower is over. Everything went smoothly. Basically no one was injured. When we rushed over to deal with the Death Eaters who were blocking the way, Dumbledore had already successfully dealt with the Death Eaters who tried to murder him.
only."
Harry placed the Phoenix chick in its ashes-covered nest, took out the Marauder's Map from his robe pocket, turned it to the location of the Astronomy Tower, and asked casually: "Are there any other members of the Order of the Phoenix coming?"
"Only Wade Dallow Digg came here first." Fleur said, "However, he should have gone out not long ago. Didn't you meet him?"
"No, Mr. Di Ge probably went to the school gate to help. Some Death Eaters destroyed the school gate and directly led people to invade Hogwarts. Everyone is going to the gate to reinforce now. I suspect that those guys are actually trying to attract our attention.
." Harry found the location of the Astronomy Tower on the Marauder's Map, and his expression suddenly froze because he didn't see Dumbledore's name on the Astronomy Tower, but Snape and Malfoy were still there.
there.
"How is this possible!" Harry couldn't help but scream, unwilling to believe his guess.
"I have to go to the Astronomy Tower." Harry ran towards the Astronomy Tower at an alarming speed.
After Mrs. Weasley and Fleur exchanged glances, they quickly chased after each other, leaving only Professor Slughorn with a confused look on his face.
On the top of the Astronomy Tower, Bella, who was reawakened by Snape, looked at Dumbledore's body in disbelief. She could not imagine that Snape had succeeded in killing Dumbledore with a sneak attack.
So what’s the point of her and other people’s previous efforts and sacrifices?
"This is the original plan. What makes you doubt my loyalty to the Dark Lord?" Snape glanced at Bella and said coldly: "There is no need for you to be angry. If I can't even deceive you, I'm afraid.
There is no way to deceive Dumbledore so easily and kill him in a sneak attack when he is relaxed."
"But, having said that, Alecto is much smarter than you. That guy probably saw this, so he escaped first."
"How do you know that coward didn't run away because of fear?" Bella's face turned red and she roared angrily at Snape.
However, no one paid attention to Bella's quibbles.
At this moment, the Death Eaters all looked at Dumbledore's body with disbelief, and some Death Eaters even shouted excitedly.
After seeing Dumbledore's crushing strength, they never imagined that they would be the ultimate winner.
"If I were you, I would keep my voice down instead of shouting at the top of my voice to let everyone know we are here." Snape glared at Bella dissatisfied and continued to untie Dumbledore to the other Death Eaters.
The spell. If the person cannot be fully awakened after using the Restoration Charm, Snape will directly slap them several times to forcefully awaken them.
"Without Dumbledore, do you think those professors and members of the Order of the Phoenix would be our opponents?" Bella said contemptuously.
"Don't forget that there is Albert Anderson. God knows if that guy will pop out suddenly." Snape looked at the group of Death Eaters eager to cause trouble, frowned and reminded, "I still want to
Go back to the Dark Lord to claim the glory that belongs to me. If you want to seek death, don’t drag me into this. I plan to leave this damn place now.”
"There are still people below who have been subdued by members of the Order of the Phoenix. Aren't you going to save them?" Charles couldn't help but ask.
"They are handed over to you!" Snape looked at the stranger: "You take them away from the Forbidden Forest when the time comes, and I won't wait for you."
Charles scolded Snape countless times in his mind, but he did not move. Those so-called colleagues were just strangers they had chatted with, and they were not worth risking their lives.
"Bella, you brought them here, you handle them yourself."
After speaking, Snape motioned for Malfoy to follow.
"Are we really going to jump right from here?"
Malfoy stood at the crenellation of the wall and looked down, the night wind from the tower making his face twitch.
"Why don't we take the stairs?" he suggested, "and we can also rescue those who were subdued by members of the Order of the Phoenix..."
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from below the Astronomy Tower, startling the Death Eaters who were whispering.
"That's too slow. The sooner you leave, the better. Don't forget that there is also Albert Anderson. That guy is as powerful as Dumbledore. I don't believe this ambush was not done by him." Snape
Without giving anyone any time to hesitate, he jumped directly from the top of the astronomy tower.
Malfoy hesitated for a moment and jumped down too. Now he had no choice but to trust Snape.
A scream came from below, and finally Snape recited a shock-absorbing spell, successfully suspending himself and Malfoy in mid-air.
"I definitely don't want to experience it again."
Malfoy felt that his pants were wet. Jumping off a high tower was definitely not a good experience, especially after looking at the broken body next to him.
"Get out of here, quickly!"
Snape reached out and pushed Malfoy to remind him that it was time to leave.
When the other Death Eaters saw Snape and Malfoy jumping, they all looked at each other. In the end, they did not choose to save their colleagues.
After all, they are all unrelated strangers, and no one would make fun of their own lives.
The Death Eaters who felt that they had been tricked by Snape were all angry at Snape's actions, but they also admired him. Not everyone could successfully kill Dumbledore.
Facts have also proved that only Snape successfully did it.
However, just as Snape said, there is an equally difficult Albert Anderson who has not yet appeared. Leaving here as soon as possible is the wisest choice.
The Death Eaters jumped off the astronomy tower one after another like dumplings.
By the time Harry rushed to the top of the Astronomy Tower, there was no one else here except for the two Death Eaters who had been knocked down by Dumbledore's curse in the previous battle and whose lives were still unknown.
"Oh, no, no, why, why is this happening!"
Harry reached out to pick up Dumbledore's body and gently called his name, trying to wake up the sleeping old man, but he knew that Dumbledore was already dead, he was already dead.
"Traitor, you damn traitor, I will definitely kill you, I swear I will kill you." Harry walked to the crenellations of the astronomy tower wall and looked down, looking at the blurry ground, knowing that the group of death eaters
The disciple jumped directly from the tower and escaped.
"You can do it Harry, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Harry gritted his teeth, tightened his wand, stuffed another elixir into his mouth, and jumped off the top of the astronomy tower.
The night wind whistled in his ears, and Harry felt that his tears and nose were about to flow out.
Before falling to the ground and turning into a pulp, the Elixir of Fortune gave Harry a lift, and used the shock-absorbing spell at the most critical moment to successfully prevent Harry from falling into a pulp.
Harry struggled to get up from the ground, glanced at the corpse of the Death Eater smashed to pieces next to him, and continued to chase forward. He would not easily let go of the traitor who killed Dumbledore!
Outside the Forbidden Forest, Bella, who had just burned down Hagrid's hut to vent her anger, was laughing crazily, as if this was the only way to vent her suppressed emotions.
"Who is there, come out!"
Snape suddenly raised his wand and pointed it somewhere in the woods.
"It's us. It seems that you succeeded."
Alecto appeared in front of Snape with the first two people to evacuate. After looking past Snape to observe the remaining Death Eaters, she turned her head and said to her colleagues beside her: "Look, I can tell you."
That's right, Snape succeeded, he succeeded in killing Dumbledore!"
"Okay, you won!" Avery shrugged, not caring at all about the content of the bet with Alecto, and turned to the people behind him and shouted: "Bella, and you, it's time to retreat.
.”
With that said, Avery raised his wand and fired green retreat sparks into the sky to fulfill the promise.
"What are you doing?"
Bella frowned slightly and glared at Avery who acted strangely.
"I need to warn the people over there at the school gate, lest the whole army there is annihilated." Avery withdrew his gaze and explained to everyone, "When Snape successfully killed Dumbledore and retreated, I
The agreed green sparks need to be fired to remind them to retreat."
"We should go." Alecto reminded.
No one will look for trouble with Avery. Although the actions just now may indeed cause trouble for them, this place is already outside the school and they can use Apparition to leave at any time.
"you……"
Snape, who was just about to apparate away with Malfoy, realized that something was wrong. They had clearly left the scope of Hogwarts, but they still could not apparate.
"It's not enough here, we have to walk a few more steps into the forest." Avery seemed to see the confusion on Snape's face, and explained: "You have to stay far away from the school before you can Apparate and leave."
Snape frowned and looked at his old classmate, then continued walking inside with Malfoy. Bella and Alecto were noisy from behind, obviously because of Alecto's escape just now.
After Snape successfully killed Dumbledore, the Death Eaters were in a particularly happy mood. Although they paid a huge price for it, it was all worth it.
Without Dumbledore as a roadblock, no one can stop the Dark Lord, not even the Ministry of Magic.
However, no one noticed the dark shadow approaching quietly, and a ray of magic even flew out of the dark forest without warning, silently knocking down Malfoy who was following Snape, not only causing his hand to
The wand flew out of his hand, causing Malfoy to faint immediately.
"who?"
Snape pulled out his wand and looked ahead warily.
"Good evening everyone, it looks like you had a great time tonight!"
A sudden voice came from the forest. Under the gaze of all the Death Eaters, Albert Anderson walked out of the forest, stopped in front of all the Death Eaters, and looked at them with a smile on his face.
It's a bit like looking at meat on a chopping board.
"Albert Anderson!" Bella growled through gritted teeth, and the spell in her hand flew towards Albert faster than her voice.
"You really look like a mad dog, Bella!" The tree next to Albert seemed to come to life, bending down to block Bella's Avada Kedavra on behalf of Albert.
"Come together and kill him!"
