Chapter 25 Sauron's Killing Intent

Section 1

Hager was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and Dumbledore was forced to resign and spread rapidly in the school. Most of the students were surprised that Hager was the suspect in the secret room attack. Although not all students were friends with Hager like Harry and others, it was still difficult to associate the tall and rough hunting ground guard with Slytherin's heirs.

As for Dumbledore's departure, the students were more worried, just as Connelly Forge said that day in the wooden house - at such a moment, who could protect Hogwarts except Dumbledore? Especially Isabella, the attack of a pure-blooded Slytherin, made the students in the school panic, and no one could guarantee that they were not the next victim.

Summer has arrived quietly, with bright and warm sunshine shining on Hogwarts, but the atmosphere in the castle is as gloomy and depressing as ever. Everyone in the castle seems to be unable to be happy. Professor McGonagall's lips are always tight, Snape looks even more gloomy, Fred and George seem to have no interest in making pranks, Ginny seems to be sick, and even Draco, who has always been arrogant in front of Harry and Ron, seems to have lost his energy. Every time he meets, he just looks at each other coldly, and then turns away.

The only exception seemed to be Gidro Lohat, who jumped into the classroom, and the classmates stared at him in surprise. Every other teacher in the school seemed more serious than usual, but Lohat looked relaxed and happy.

"Okay, okay," he said happily, "Why are you all slapped with faces?" Everyone exchanged angry eyes, but no one answered.

"Didn't you notice it?" Lockhart said, slowing down his speech, as if they were all a little slow, "The danger has passed! The criminal has been taken away."

"Who said that?" Dean Thomas yelled.

"My dear young man, if the Minister of Magic had not 100% convicted Hagrid, he would not have taken him away." Lockhart said, in that tone, as if someone was explaining that one plus one equals two.

"Oh, that's not necessarily." Ron said, his voice louder than Dean's.

"I'm confident that I know a little more about the truth about Hager's arrest than you, Mr. Weasley," Lockhart said in a smug tone.

Ron was about to say he didn't think so, but stopped before he finished speaking because Harry kicked him hard under the table.

"We were not present at the time, did you forget?" Harry whispered.

However, Lockhart's disgusting joy, his confession that he had long thought Hagrid was not a good man, and his words that he believed the whole thing was over, annoyed Harry. Lockhart seemed to have forgotten that he had certainly boasted about his long time ago that he had known that Sauron was Slytherin's heir, and Harry wanted to point the book "Walking with the Ghoul" at Lockhart's stupid face. But he had to write a scribbled note to Ron: "We'll do tonight."

That night in the wooden house, Harry learned that Sauron had cleared the suspicion from the Ministry of Magic, which made him very happy. Dumbledore's departure made Harry very uneasy. If Sauron could come back, Harry would have more courage and confidence in his heart. Hagrid told Harry that they could follow the spider to find clues, but following the spider into the dangerous Forbidden Forest made Harry hesitant. Originally, Harry was counting on his brother, but Soren still did not come back. For this reason, Harry went to Professor McGonagall, but she said she didn't know more about this than Harry. In the end, Harry and Ron decided to act on their own and follow the spider into the depths of the Forbidden Forest...

Section 2

Lucius sat alone on the sofa, reading quietly, and a small glass of red wine was placed on the table next to him. His wife Narcisa went to France, and Draco was in the huge villa of Hogwarts and Malfoy Manor, and now he was the only one who was himself and the house elf. Lucius was surrounded by a faint anxiety and uneasiness. He could feel that a dangerous atmosphere was approaching. Taking a sip of wine and feeling the bitter mellow fragrance, Lucius showed a self-deprecating but calm smile. He knew that some things were what he had to bear as a man, a husband, and a father - this was his responsibility.

On a summer night, the cool evening breeze blows with the freshness of the plants. Suddenly, Lucius stood up and looked out the window vigilantly - it was too quiet, everything around him became silent, the night birds no longer chirped, the grass insects no longer chirped, as if all life had disappeared, and only the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass was heard.

Lucius stood on the balcony, frowned and stared out the window. The cold moonlight poured on the ground, highlighting the darkness and mystery of the night. As if suddenly emerging from the air, a figure walked out of the darkness in the distance, walking towards the villa without any haste, as if the darkness extended to this side. Even though he was used to the strangeness of the dark wizards, Lucius still felt a hint of chill, but he took a deep breath and his eyes became firm. Holding the wand in his hand tightly, Lucius suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared again. He stood in front of the door of the villa, looking calmly at the person who was slowly walking towards him - tall and thin, like a withered tree, wearing a black robe, hiding his face in the shadow of the hood.

Lucius's pupils shrank suddenly, and the man got closer and closer. He stretched out his thin and pale hands and took off his hood. His pale and weird face looked particularly terrifying under the moonlight.

——"Lucius, you look good..." The cold and hoarse voice made Lucius shudder.

"Black--Your Highness the Dark Lord..." Lucius said in a shocked tone, but immediately his tone became mixed with joy and reverence, "I am so excited that you have returned."

"Yes." The voice was cold and cruel, "but I have to say that you did a good job in Hogwarts..."

Lucius was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully, "It is my honor to serve Your Highness..."

The next moment, without any warning, Lucius disappeared from the spot instantly and flashed a few meters away. He held the wand in his hand and looked at the other party vigilantly - a green light hit the place where he had just stood, burning a melting pit on the ground.

"Hmph..." The cold laughter - "You actually saw through it, but it doesn't matter..."

The tall and thin body, like a skeleton, turned into a vague black mist, condensed again, and turned into a child. His eyes slowly opened, his golden standing pupils were as cold as a knife.

"You are indeed here." When facing it, Lucius calmed down, "What is your purpose?"

Sauron curled his lips, "Simple, take your life."

"No room for anything?" Lucius didn't seem nervous.

"Since you have cast your bargaining chips," Soren looked at him coldly, "then you must be prepared to lose everything."

Lucius looked at Sauron, "Do you know, you seem to be more cruel than him." He took a deep breath and said freely, "It seems Dumbledore is right, I underestimate you. I only have a small request--my family has nothing to do with it. If I die, let them go."

Sauron sneered and waved his wand, and a dazzling green light gushed out. Lucius pressed his wand in front of him, and the death curse seemed to hit an invisible barrier, reflected back, and was scattered in front of his chest by Sauron. Taking advantage of the gap, Lucius pointed the wand at Sauron-"Avadassori!"

"Involuntary struggle." Sauron defeated the spell again, and the death spell turned into a ball of green light, but Lucius disappeared from the spot and flashed behind Sauron. A strong magic wave came. Lucius instantly released a spell, and the bright red light shot towards Sauron's back, but it was annihilated in the black flame that suddenly ignited on Sauron.

Lucius was startled, and the flames appeared instantly and extinguished in an instant. Sauron suddenly appeared behind Lucius and pointed it gently at him with his magic wand. Lucius flew out as if he was hit by a rhino, landed on the ground, and a trace of blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth.

"It's over." Sauron raised his magic wand, and the green light gathered at the tip of the stick, emitting a terrifying magic wave. "Avada..." Sauron did not finish pronunciating the spell, but waved the wand to the bushes beside him, sweeping over like a wave with green light, igniting the dense bushes into a pile of dead branches. While waving the stick, Sauron stretched out his left hand, and then, it seemed that an invisible blade was chopping on the water surface, and a ripples appeared in front of Sauron.

"Snape..." Sauron gritted his teeth and looked at the person who appeared in front of him, with resentment and murderous intent in his eyes.

"Severus..." Lucius looked at his close friend, mixed with gratitude and concern, "Why are you here?"

Snape glanced at Lucius who was lying on the ground, and said nothing, staring at Sauron with a serious expression, holding the wand in his hand.

"Touching friendship." Sauron's voice was low and cold, and his undisguised murderous intent was shocking. "Since you are here too, let's die here with him."

"I know you hate me, and you also know you want to kill me," Snape said calmly, staring at Soren's shocking eyes, "but I still want to stop you-for you, and even for her..."

"Shut!" Sauron shouted, "How dare you lift her in front of me?" Sauron waved his wand violently, and the red light shot straight at Snape, and the air around him was extremely restless, as if it was a twisted mirror. Snape held the wand with both hands, and a silver shield appeared in front of him. The moment the shield contacted the spell, a violent light burst out. The spell was offset, but the shield was also shaking. Snape's face was turned on.

He became pale, and he pursed his lips tightly, while Sauron continued to wave his wand like a whip, allowing his violent murderous intent and violent magic to exert freely. Spells continued to hit the shield in front of Snape. Soon, the shield was broken, and a spell flew towards Snape's chest, but it was then blocked by Lucius beside him. Sauron frowned, held the wand high above his head, and shouted: "Black of flames!"

In an instant, as if he was in a sea of ​​flames, the surging flames rushed towards Snape and Lucius like a tide. Snape held the wand tightly, with a trace of determination in his eyes. He closed his eyes, held the wand with both hands and turned forward. Then, a thin but dazzling silver flame ignited around him. The surging sea of ​​fire was blocked in front of the thin silver fire in front of him, and passed by him and Lucius, turning the grass and trees in the garden behind him into ashes.

Sauron looked at Snape and the silver flame in surprise, but when he noticed Snape's increasingly pale face and the blood oozing out of the corner of his mouth, he sneered clearly.

"Does life burn?" Sauron put down his hand holding the wand, "You are really amazing, Snape, but - it's time to end."

Soren's whole body instantly turned into a surging black flame, leaving only his golden standing pupils, illuminating cold light. He opened his arms and looked at the dark night sky-

——"Cry——"Raging magic waves spread from Sauron, an indescribable sense of contradiction, without any sound, but the scream that annihilated everything exploded directly in the human soul, and the whole world instantly became silent.

Snape and Lucius's faces instantly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood was spewed out suddenly. The thin silver fire was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

Snape and Lucius' eyes slowly became dull, and the whole soul seemed to be about to dissipate in this silent scream. Suddenly, a surging golden fire burst out, surrounding the two of them. The golden flames were bright and dazzling, diluting the cold night a lot.
