Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 330 Severus Snape

It was the first time Snape had really revealed his own devil - a doe - since he had rescued Harry from the devil a few months earlier.

At that time, the reason he gave for learning the devil was because he was very dissatisfied with Toby and wanted to kill him.

Toby hadn't really seen Snape's determination until today.

He felt very absurd and ridiculous in an instant.

This was also the first question he subconsciously blurted out.

"So, you haven't given up on killing me, have you?"

In front of the furious Snape, Toby involuntarily clenched the black walnut wand tightly.

"I should have guessed that was the case."

His tone became very weird: "Devil, not everyone can learn the devil easily. You have been taught by others. It was Grindelwald who taught you this magic. No wonder you are hearing him die The reaction in the future will be so big, when you heard me say that the Potters may still be alive, you were full of disbelief. It’s not that you don’t believe that they are still in this world, but because you don’t want me to know this.”

"What did he promise you, to bring Lily back to life?"

Ever since Snape uttered the first sentence, he had remained silent, and the atmosphere in the hall of the Chamber of Secrets was gradually becoming more and more tense.

At this time, Grindelwald suddenly said: "We can never understand people we think we know. It used to be like this, and it still is like this now."

"You guessed it wrong, Toby Highmore, Severus Snape is not mine, and I have to thank you for that, it's all because you brought me here and you did it for me The helper I found, now, let it all end—"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Toby suddenly made a move without hesitation, and the spell he cast shot straight at Snape, with an attitude of blowing him to pieces, and he didn't even want to keep his bones intact.

Snape didn't resist, he finally showed all his trump cards at this moment - let the doe devil jump into the armor that trapped Grindelwald.

In the next second, just in the blink of an eye, a huge monster appeared in the hall of the Chamber of Secrets, about the height of the statue of Slytherin, covered in pitch black, and the solid black mist dispersed and gathered together, standing between Toby and between Snape.

A monster as big as a giant, it was it who stopped the Explosive Curse.

"Oh?"

Grindelwald, who was still unable to move freely, looked at this scene: "I didn't expect this - the invincible Andros, his ability is so great. Unexpectedly, Toby, this is the devil you have been studying , but you don’t even know his name.”

Toby looked up at his completely changed collection, and the dark magic circle under the witch robe flickered dimly. A big hand landed on his shoulder without warning, preventing him from transforming. The process of becoming a devil.

"Go."

Dumbledore stepped up and said, "These people have achieved their purpose, go and protect the Mason Gate, Toby, leave this to me."

"Don't let them succeed... whoever these people are."

Toby glanced back at Dumbledore, a solid black light flickered in his eyes, and then gave Snape a last look from a long distance away.

"I see, Headmaster."
-
With a bang, James jumped out of the tree hole of the Whomping Willow with the panicked Harry. He had already returned to his human form at this time, and it seemed that there was no way to maintain the state of the Animagus patron saint for a long time.

In the darkness behind them came the sound of approaching footsteps, and Al was still in hot pursuit.

"Get up." James urged the limp-legged Harry. "Tonight is our last chance. We must not miss this full moon again - work hard, Harry."

When the two of them finally came to the gate of the castle, Harry turned his head and glanced back, suddenly he felt a little strange.

"Why didn't Mr. Al chase after us? Did it drive us into the school on purpose, so that Professor Highmore could catch us with his own hands?"

He guessed right, ever since they ran out of the range of the Whomping Willow, Al couldn't hold on any longer, it had already changed back to its sniffing appearance, rolling its eyes tiredly, and it was now in the secret passage Lying half dead, silently waiting for good news from Toby.

The two who escaped first didn't know this. After all, they didn't have such a peculiar patron saint as Al.

"I'll try to convince him."

James said, gripping his wand tightly.

The skeleton of Ignotus was in the Ancient Magic Office. If they wanted to get it, this was a hurdle that their father and son couldn't get around.

In the process of flying up the stairs, Harry was surprised to see that flame bat flying over suddenly, with his invisibility cloak in its mouth.

James took the Invisibility Cloak and said, "It was originally a reminder I gave Toby, but it doesn't seem to be needed now."

"No." Harry whispered, "Professor Highmore knew through this flame bat that you had been to the Veil Bar, and he guessed that it was specially given to him."

"No, that's not what I meant." James shook his head and said, "It's useless to just know about it. The key is the flame bat, but it's not important now, let's go."

Harry couldn't understand what James meant. He participated in Professor Highmore's research on the flame bat, but he had no idea what was wrong with the animal.

It didn't take long before the two came to the gate of the ancient magic office in silence.

James opened the door vigilantly and carefully, and he and Harry were surprised to find that there was no one in the room.

"Looks like I got lucky tonight."

James said with a sigh of relief, he walked non-stop to the three skeletons in the room, and saw the triangular pattern on the forehead of one of them, which was also the symbol of the invisibility cloak.

"Come here, Harry."

James turned his head and said, "Tonight we will discover the secrets left to us by our ancestors."

Still immersed in the shock of not being able to believe it would go so smoothly, Harry walked over in a daze and saw James put the Invisibility Cloak between the two of them and Ignotus's skeleton.

"Summon out your devil, only you can help me with this matter."

Harry did so, and James marveled for a moment when the rune snake appeared before them with only one head left.

The following process was much simpler. Under James' instructions, Harry worked hard to make the rune snake more like a witch's robe, with a bigger body, the snake's head covering James' head, and The process of Toby's transformation into a devil is very simple.

Although the method of pretending to be a god of death is somewhat clumsy, fortunately, this method is still effective.

"Tell me, what is my wish?"

James' voice sounded from under the snake's head. Almost instantly, Harry saw the scene in front of him completely changed. This was a scene he hadn't seen with his own eyes when he and Toby summoned Cadmus last time. At that time, he closed his eyes under Toby's instructions, but this time he didn't need to, because he was also a half-wizard who accomplished this magical ceremony.

The skeleton in front of him turned into a living person, and the appearance of the other person was somewhat similar to that of Harry and James.

"Revenge." Ignotus said the same answer as the two brothers.

"Now you can say what you want," James said with suppressed excitement.

He is about to learn the secret of his ancestors' victory over death.

Ignotus was about to open his mouth, but there seemed to be something strange in the picture, which made him turn his head to take a look - James and Harry saw the shock in his eyes at the same time.

"We must hide immediately!"

Ignotus shouted: "Hide where no one will find it!"

James and Harry were stunned at the same time, but the scene continued, and the god of death seemed to refute Ignotus' wish, because he quickly changed the conditions and said: "Then it will be at my expense, Let me never be able to reunite with my family and brothers, as long as they are alive and well, but only if they are not found by that person-this will do!"

The wish came into effect, and the picture gradually began to fade away.

James felt cold all over.

He never thought that what he saw was the scene of his ancestors running away in a panic, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

There is no one who conquers death at all, and the story twists the real experience, giving him hope that he never had.

Now, that hope has been dashed.

Harry also stood there dumbfounded, and a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Who is that person?"

At this time, a friendly voice sounded from behind the two.

"I think, if I'm not mistaken, Ignotus should be referring to me."

James turned his head suddenly, and he saw an old man coming out of a cabinet in the corner of the room, looking at them with a smile.

"You've always wanted to see me, James."

The principal of Waggadu, Akinbad said gently: "Now you have finally achieved your wish, but why are you not happy?"

"Is it because of your child?"

He approached slowly, without making a move, but Jaime's arm jerked back, sending his wand flying.

Immediately James wrapped his other arm tightly around Harry's back.

"It has nothing to do with him!" James said in a panic.

"No." Akinbad shook his head and said, his movements were very slow, but nothing could stop him.

"Harry Potter is the only Horcrux left after I killed Voldemort. He is very important to whether I can achieve my goal of immortality. I must take this child away-I see in your eyes confused."

Akinbad turned to look at Harry and said, "You're wondering why I didn't turn into a ghost like Voldemort, because he split his soul so many times that he became distorted."

"As the creator of the Horcruxes, I must say that the way he uses them is too rough—come with me, boy."

Aginbad—or despicable Haierbo, he grabbed Harry's arm, obviously not very hard, but Harry couldn't even resist.

Under James' desperate eyes, the magic ball floated to Haierbo's side, and he brought Harry to the Mason Gate, and finally said, "It's time to meet the real God of Death."

Harry, who was terrified, was taken by Hai Erbo to the dark Mason Gate, and they appeared on the other side of the gate, and came to the same dim ancient magic office.

"Who are you? How did you survive until now?"

Harry said in disbelief that all he could do now was ask questions.

"Of course it's because of the Horcruxes."

Hai Erbo said gently, as if a professor was teaching a class to a student.

"Toby should have told you that you are also a Horcrux. What did he say in the first place? Was it because of Voldemort? No, you are my Horcrux. I have noticed the flaws of Horcruxes long ago , compared with dead things, living people are more valuable, so I will replace Horcruxes every once in a while, probably more than 200 years, and never too many, it will make me no longer like Myself."

"I don't understand." Harry asked desperately, "Why does it have to be me?"

"It seems that you really don't understand."

Haierbo said slowly: "It's not like this, Harry, because you were the only one who was eligible at that time, a baby, even I had never tried this before. But your father is dead, he You have to die like this once, only in this way can you take the initiative to bring you here. And your mother, let's see, finally came to the question you are interested in, right?"

"Yes, I can tell you the good news, Harry, your mother is still alive, it's just that no one knows about it - oh, there is one person, Severus Snape, who was a surprise , you should really have seen the way he hugged his head and cried at that time, it should relieve your anger—after all, he always likes to make things difficult for you."

"Snape" Harry murmured incredulously, "He's yours too. Why?"

"Because he loves your mother deeply, so he is willing to do things for me." Hai Erbo looked at the shock in Harry's eyes with satisfaction: "I really like the feeling of breaking other people's secrets, that is the feeling of my long life There are not many things in the world that can make people interested."

Harry saw Hai Bo picking up the magic ball and staring at it with great interest.

"You can't use it," said Harry abruptly. "Only Professor Highmore, only he can—"

"But I don't have to use it." Hai Erbo interrupted: "Just having it is enough—look behind you."

Harry subconsciously turned his head, almost unnerved by what he saw.

A monster wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a pharaoh's mask was standing quietly in the corner. It stared at the two people who appeared suddenly without saying a word, and its eyes were focused on the magic ball.

"This will save us a lot of trouble." Haierbo threw the magic ball twice and said, "After all, the outside is still out of control, so we must be careful—I mean be careful with you, if you die early That's the real trouble, after all I haven't prepared any other Horcruxes."

Harry faintly heard the wheels of the carriage rattling outside the door.

"Here they come," Haierbo said.
