The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 677 The Crisis of the Half-Blood Prince

There was a sneer on Voldemort's face, as if he was mocking Snape's devotion to Lily, but also mocking Snape's weakness.

It was Snape who revealed the content of the prophecy to Voldemort, and it was Snape who knelt down and begged Voldemort to save Lily from death.

Useless affection, Snape was incapable of protecting Lily, he counted on his master to spare Lily's life, and he hoped that Dumbledore could protect Lily.

As everyone knows, Lily and James, who had mistrusted others, eventually died at the hands of Voldemort, leaving only one-year-old Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived.

"It's touching, Severus." Voldemort didn't get angry when Snape pointed his wand at him, he ignored Snape's behavior completely.

From Voldemort's point of view, Snape could not pose a threat to himself, and life and death were only in his hands.

"Since when did your act of betraying me begin," Voldemort went on, "the child I thought was prophesied, the Mudblood's child... was it then, Severus?"

Snape's right hand clenched his wand even more firmly, and he said, "Yes. As long as someone can protect her, I will give everything I have in return."

"For a Mudblood, you betrayed the great Lord Voldemort!" Voldemort continued, "For a Mudblood, you protected Harry Potter!"

"Lily's not a Mudblood!" Snape growled.

His wand trembled slightly, and the invisible blade slashed at Voldemort.However, Snape's sneak attack did not work, Voldemort's body did not break open, and no blood gushed out.

With a simple flick of his sleeves, Snape's signature spell was dispelled.

Voldemort hadn't waved his wand, as if Snape had never betrayed him or laid a hand on him.For a moment, an illusion appeared in Snape's heart, making him think that he could get out of this wooden house and continue to live.

Then, Voldemort's intentions became clear.

The big snake Nagini's body rolled and burst out suddenly, its bloody mouth opened wide, and its sharp fangs continuously enlarged in the field of vision.Nagini charged at Snape like lightning.

Snape flicked his wand quickly, and the air in front of him was condensed into a solid wall.It's just that the air wall can stop the rushing Nagini, but it can't stop Voldemort.

With a slight wave of the yew wood wand in Voldemort's hand, the solid air wall was easily broken like tofu, and the big snake Nagini violently attacked again.

Just when the stinky snake mouth was about to bite his neck, and the sharp fangs were about to pierce the skin and inject venom, Snape felt a tremendous force coming from the back of his neck——

Snape's body flew back stiffly, smashed through the wall of the wooden house, and fell to the open space outside the house.

The body touched the hard ground, and the pain spread all over the body.Before Snape could feel the pain in his body, he raised his wand again and fired several spells at the cabin.

The simple wooden house collapsed and collapsed in an instant.

Voldemort was unscathed, and beside him floated a star-spangled, transparent sphere of magic, within which Nagini the Serpent was securely housed.

"Esmeralda Drizzt!" Voldemort said coldly.The Dark Lord's hatred of Ada skyrocketed, reaching Harry Potter.

Anyone who is spoiled by one person repeatedly wants to cut that damned bastard into pieces.

"You are too harsh on my professor, Tom." Ada said in a normal tone, as if she was chatting with an acquaintance.

Snape broke away from the battle and sneaked away without being noticed by anyone.No matter how sharp Voldemort's eyes were, he couldn't duel with Ida while observing whether Snape escaped.

Never, never, never, Snape should not have recklessly attempted to kill Nagini.

Indeed, due to the large number of Horcruxes, Voldemort's connection with each Horcrux was very weak, and even the Horcruxes were destroyed one after another, Voldemort did not notice it at all.

But Nagini is different from other Horcruxes.

Before becoming Voldemort's Horcrux, Nagini was a snake, a snake completely under Voldemort's control, which is extremely rare in Parseltongue.

Nagini is also closely related to whether Voldemort can survive-before Voldemort regained his physical body, he ordered Foley to continuously draw venom from the big snake, and use Nagini's venom to make potions to obtain a basically usable form.

On Christmas Eve in 1995, Nagini broke into the Ministry of Magic at night and attacked Mr. Weasley who was on duty.

At that time, Harry witnessed the whole process of the attack from Nagini's perspective.Harry was able to issue an early warning and saved Mr. Weasley whose life was hanging by a thread.

Before that, Harry could only establish a spiritual link with Voldemort, and could only see what Voldemort saw.

There are too many examples to prove that Nagini is different.

It was precisely because of Nagini's extraordinary nature that he was able to pass on the situation of the cabin to Voldemort on the front line as soon as it sensed Snape's killing intent.

At that time, Voldemort and Ada were fighting fiercely, black and blue flames were entangled with each other, and the sparks splashed out were enough to kill the people around them.

But when he learned that Nagini was in danger, Voldemort withdrew without hesitation and returned to the cabin to rescue Nagini.Allowing the fire to spread in Hogsmeade may even destroy the coalition forces under his command.

For Voldemort, Nagini is his last Horcrux, the last guarantee of his immortality, and there must be no accidents.

When the Death Eaters are exhausted and exhausted, they can be re-recruited and re-trained. If Nagini is gone, they will really be gone. Voldemort cannot bear such consequences.

Making a Horcrux itself is a very difficult task, which can be called against the sky.And Voldemort has made six Horcruxes (he didn't know that Harry was also a Horcrux), which is something that no one has done before.

Whether the soul can be split again successfully, Voldemort himself is not sure.

So for Voldemort, Nagini at this stage is the most important and the highest priority, and even Harry Potter has to go back a little bit.

On the premise of ensuring Nagini's safety and his own immortality, kill the prophesied nemesis Harry Potter.Voldemort could not tolerate the tragedy of 1981 happening to him again.

That's why Voldemort broke away from the front line, desperate to go back to the cabin to stop Snape.

And why did Ada follow and save Snape in time?

The answer is actually very simple. When Voldemort came, Ada naturally followed.

Although it is not clear why Voldemort suddenly chose to run away, driven by curiosity, Ada followed all the way and followed Voldemort to leave Hogsmeade.

Although there was a delay on the way of tracking, Ada arrived at the cabin at the right time.

"A professor to you, but a dirty traitor to me." Voldemort said coldly, "A traitor who can betray a great and noble cause for the sake of a mudblood."

"Great? Sublime?" Ada asked back. "You seem to have misunderstood these two words, Tom."

Ada stepped forward with the Elder Wand in hand, keeping Snape behind her.

She continued: "Your mother, Merope Gaunt, is a pure-blood, and your father, Tom Riddle, is a Muggle. No matter how much you hide it, you can't change the fact that you are a half-blood wizard. According to the pure blood you promote In terms of bloodism...how, you kill yourself?"

This is a fact that Voldemort does not want to admit, but has to admit.Even after Voldemort had killed his Muggle father, old Tom Riddle's blood still ran through his veins.

"I have already purified my blood, since I abandoned the name Tom Marvolo Riddle." Voldemort said.

"If purifying the bloodline means splitting the soul, and then using a few dangerous black magic transformations to make yourself inhuman...then I have nothing to say." Ada teased.

Voldemort was furious, but he didn't fight.

He said, "Albus Dumbledore is dead, easily defeated by my plan. You'll be next, Drizzt."
