Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 423

It was a girl in a sky blue dress. She looked very similar to Dumbledore, but strictly speaking, she wasn't too pretty.

At least she didn't inherit Dumbledore's youthful appearance.

But at this moment, Dumbledore stared at the girl in a daze as if he had seen the most beautiful treasure in the world.

The girl looked at Dumbledore with complicated eyes, and after a long time, she slowly bent down and gently stroked the wrinkles on Dumbledore's face with her free hand.

"Brother, you are getting old."

An erratic voice came from the girl's mouth, and upon hearing that, Dumbledore's tear glands instantly collapsed. He cried loudly and grabbed the girl's hand, unable to speak for a while.

Mike on the side was also speechless, because at this time he was staring closely at Dumbledore's right hand, the skin that was originally yellow and wrinkled on it was rapidly turning pale, and then the color began to deepen again, and finally It turned out to be a black-red rotten spot.

Mike knew very well that it was Voldemort's curse, and it was also the culprit of Dumbledore's fall in the original book.

Facing the erosion of such a terrifying curse, Dumbledore should have discovered it immediately, but now he is completely immersed in the joy of reuniting with that figure, and he doesn't care about other things at all.

However, his only remaining warm moment can't last for too long!
"elder brother!"

The illusory figure named Arianna called Dumbledore again, but this time her expression became ferocious,
"I'm in so much pain! Why are you doing this to me?"

The girl's mournful wailing echoed in the courtyard, and Dumbledore froze in place.

Looking at his sister's ferocious face, Dumbledore said anxiously:

"Ariana, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for you! I'd do anything to make it up to you! Please!"

"Really?" the girl stared at Dumbledore viciously, and said slowly, "Then why don't you come and accompany me? My dear brother!"

Dumbledore was stunned, and the girl continued to say:
"Come on, brother, I'm really lonely by myself, come and stay with me. Aren't we brothers and sisters? As long as you die, then we can be together forever!"

The muscles on Dumbledore's face trembled, and he stared at the girl in front of him with wide eyes, as if he was surprised that his sister would say such a thing.

And as Dumbledore froze for a moment, the rotten black spot on his right hand grew explosively, covering Dumbledore's entire arm in just a moment, and even continued to spread towards his chest !
Mike couldn't take it anymore!

The purpose of letting Dumbledore wear the resurrection stone ring is just to poison Dumbledore. In the future, he will still rely on Dumbledore to take the lead in the battle against Voldemort!
But according to the current situation, if I continue to let it go, Dumbledore may die on the spot!

Thinking of this, Mike suddenly raised the holy sword in his hand, and slashed at the ring on Dumbledore's right hand!
"No!"

Dumbledore, who noticed Mike's movement, yelled and withdrew his hands to protect the resurrection stone ring, but all this was in vain. Dumbledore is not Gandalf who can practice both power and law. He is An ordinary old man, all his movements are completely in slow motion in the eyes of the experienced Mike!

"clang!"

The holy sword slashed heavily on the ring, and there was a crisp explosion.

But Mike's expression was ugly, because the holy sword in his hand didn't really hit the ring, but was blocked by a strange face that looked exactly like Voldemort!
"Ahhh!"

The strange human face standing in front of the holy sword screamed, but he refused to move away, and instead he firmly guarded the ring behind him.

And Mike also recognized the true identity of this face at this time!

If nothing else, this face should be the soul of Voldemort hidden in the resurrection stone ring!

But in this way, the problem also arises, as a Horcrux, isn't the soul division inside it the most important thing?

Then why does the soul in this resurrection stone ring protect the container in turn?
Mike fell into deep doubts.

It's just that the current situation doesn't allow him to hesitate too much, only to see Mike burst out, and the magic power in his body poured into the holy sword crazily!

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light erupted from the holy sword. Under the radiance of this light, Voldemort's soul and the figure named Arianna melted like ice and snow under the sun, until Finally disappeared completely!

"Hoohoo!" Mike panted and looked at Dumbledore, only to see that the latter had fallen down at this time. Mike stepped forward decisively to hug Dumbledore, and asked worriedly, "Dumbledore ,Are you OK?"

Dumbledore didn't answer Mike's question, he raised his arm, staring blankly at the resurrection stone ring on his hand and the completely eroded right arm, still chanting Ariana's name in his mouth .

Seeing this, Mike was not polite, he reached out and took off the ring on Dumbledore's hand.

And it wasn't until this moment that Mike realized that Dumbledore's entire arm was almost rotten, because he followed his action of pulling off the ring, and a small piece of flesh on Dumbledore's finger was also pulled off with him!

Even though Mike is a person who has seen the world, he felt some discomfort in his stomach when he saw this scene.

And Dumbledore also seemed to be awakened by the sharp pain. He frowned and stared at his arm and Mike with his eyes that had become clear again, as if he hadn't figured out the current situation yet.

When Mike saw this, he was about to explain to Dumbledore, but the latter said in a weak voice first:

"I did something stupid."

"That's right! That's right! The mightiest white wizard held a ghost girl's hand and wept bitterly, and was cursed by Voldemort because of it! How stupid!"

Faced with Mike's merciless curses, Dumbledore's pale and sickly old face couldn't help but flash a blush.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if to defend himself, but Mike interrupted him:
"Okay, stop talking about this, what should we do now? Your injury cannot be underestimated!"

Mike's expression was very anxious at this time, this is not pretending, he is really afraid that Dumbledore will die here just like this.

And Dumbledore also showed a gratified smile on Mike's anxious face. He patted Mike's shoulder with his intact hand, and said slowly:
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Take me to Severus and he'll fix me."

Looking at Dumbledore who was still smiling and comforting him, Mike felt uncomfortable, but in the end he nodded silently, and walked quickly out of the yard with Dumbledore in his arms!
……

No. 19 Spider's End Lane, in an ordinary brick house.

Snape, who was wearing gray pajamas, sat up from the bed, stretched his body and stood in front of the window.

Summer nights are always extremely short. Although it is only five o'clock now, the sun is already hanging in the sky and throwing golden sunlight.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with Spider's End Alley. The houses here are too dense, so dense that the bright sunlight in the morning can't even shine in.

This is the place where Snape grew up. Although the living environment here is very bad, and even outsiders see it is full of stench and garbage everywhere, there is no hope at all, but in Snape's view Here is a very good settlement.

Because he once spent the best time of his life here, when that girl still belonged to him.

Looking at the dim light outside the window, the dirty water flowing slowly by the roadside, and the garbage everywhere, Snape sighed slowly, turned around and picked up his wand from the bookcase beside the bed, and then left bedroom.

Outside the bedroom is a living room that is not spacious. Of course, as one of the characteristics of the old-fashioned brick house, this living room also serves as the kitchen.

And because the area of ​​this brick room was too small, this living room also served as a study room, and Snape arranged two full bookcases of books here for recreation during vacations.

It's just that in this way, the living room occupied by sofas, bookcases, kitchen utensils and other items became even smaller. Snape even had to be careful when walking.

But he obviously doesn't care about these, or in other words, he's already used to it.

I saw Snape waving his wand expressionlessly, and following his movements, the teapot on the coffee table beside him automatically brewed tea, and the old-fashioned gramophone placed on the bookcase also automatically played music.

It was a lilting piano piece, the name of which Snape didn't know, as it was an inheritance from his mother, but there was no doubt that it cheered people up!
The corner of Snape's mouth curled up into a smile, and he followed the melody, nodding his head, and walked in the direction of the kitchen table shaking step by step.

That's right, he was going to make himself a hearty breakfast.

Originally, this kind of work could be done using magic, but Snape didn't think so.

From his point of view, cooking is as rigorous as making potions, and to make delicious food requires the same concentration as making potions.

I don't know if his experience in making potions played a role, anyway, Snape's cooking skills are pretty good, which even his godson Draco doesn't know.

Fried sausages, fried bacon, fried eggs, toast...

Seeing one after another of the ingredients being made by himself and added to his dinner plate, Snape had already started to think about his plans for the next day.

Maybe, after eating a hearty English breakfast, I can listen to music and read a book for a while, not the kind of esoteric and boring potions books, but simple novels!
Then spend two hours cooking an exquisite steak Wellington at noon!
In the afternoon, you can go to the basement to make potions to pass the time...

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Snape's mouth became even brighter.

Unfortunately, the accident happened suddenly!
"boom!"

A burst of explosion sounded from behind Snape, he turned his head in a panic, and saw an explosion in the small fireplace behind him, the ashes in the fireplace were flying wantonly in this small living room, making those who were originally The old furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Immediately afterwards, two figures walked out of the ashes while coughing.

"Hey! Good morning! Professor Snape!"

Mike's familiar voice came from the smoke, and upon hearing that, the blue lines on Snape's face exploded instantly. He raised his wand and raised his hand to give Mike the stinky smell that disturbed his perfect morning. Boy a little color look.

But the next moment, Snape's movements froze suddenly.

Because he finally saw clearly the figure who came with Mike, it turned out to be the pale and weak Dumbledore!

"Sorry." Dumbledore forced a smile, "To interrupt your rest, Severus."

Dumbledore's words made Snape put down his wand, and through the dust gradually dissipating in the living room, Snape also noticed the injury on Dumbledore's right arm.

"Are you injured?" Snape said solemnly, "This is... a curse! A very vicious curse! Are you going to fight the swamp witch one-on-one?"

"That's a long story, Severus. I went with Mike last night..."

"I think maybe now is not the time to talk about this?" Mike interrupted the conversation between the two, "Principal Dumbledore's condition is very bad now, Professor, you should treat him first."

Hearing this, Snape's expression became ugly again, and he even had a faint tendency to get angry.

But seeing Dumbledore's weak appearance, Snape finally helped Dumbledore up and led him to the basement.

Mike followed decisively, but just as he took a step, Snape in front turned his head and shouted sharply:

"Stay here and don't move!"

Raising his eyebrows, Mike didn't speak, but waved his hand in dissatisfaction and then backed away.

To be honest, he didn't really want to watch Snape's healing process. Compared to this, he was more interested in the legendary Snape's home.

Thinking of this, he reached out and wiped the phonograph that was still playing in the bookcase.

However, just as his hand touched the wooden body of the phonograph, Snape, who had already gone to the basement, suddenly poked his head out of the aisle and screamed:
"You are not allowed to touch anything! Otherwise, I will lock you up for a month when school starts!"

Mike was taken aback by the sound, and he instinctively raised his hands above his head.

"Understood! Professor Snape!"

Hearing this, Snape nodded in satisfaction, and then disappeared into the aisle.

And Mike curled his lips in disdain, a month of confinement?You scare ghosts!
Shaking his head sneeringly, Mike finally noticed the kitchen counter where Snape was when they came.

He walked slowly towards the kitchen counter, and saw a hearty breakfast that had already been placed on a plate and was still steaming!
