HP: Embrace the Darkness

Aces raised his hand, tapped his fingertips on the small flying ball, and the magic flowed, imprinting the Surveillance Charm and the Disguise Charm.

Then let the two small flying balls fly.

The small flying balls rose up staggeringly, one flying towards Voldemort, and the other flying towards the way Voldemort came.

The little flying ball flying towards Voldemort flew high into the sky, diligently transmitting the picture to its owner.

In the picture, Lockhart is holding a piece of paper with his dog legs, and a translucent figure is floating on the paper, talking frantically.

Across from them, Ginny and Ron fell to the ground, unconscious, and the only one standing was Harry, the savior.

Voldemort's mouth kept moving and his hands waved from time to time, speaking passionately.

It was a pity for Asseth that this spell could not transmit sound, otherwise he could still hear what Voldemort was saying.

While feeling pity, he casually looked at the scene of another small flying ball coming through.

The screen was pitch black, and Asseth was about to look away when he suddenly noticed the skin-like object in the corner of the screen.

Ok?

His expression suddenly became serious, and then changed from seriousness to surprise.

Merlin's beard! That is……!

After seeing that thing clearly, Asseth's eyes lit up, and his eyes were exactly the same as Draco's when he saw the rocket crossbow, shining brightly.

It was a huge snakeskin.

Aces swallowed hard and couldn't suppress his surprise. If his previous guess was correct, then this was the skin of the basilisk.

Basilisk skin! Excellent potion material!

Artes could already predict Snape's happy expression when he saw this snake skin.

He glanced at Harry hesitantly and then at the snakeskin in the picture.

what to do? I really want to get the snake skin, but...

After hesitating for less than a second, the balance in his heart tilted rapidly, and Asseth stood up honestly and walked towards the passage.

It doesn't matter, he can't die. He doesn't believe that Dumbledore has no back-up plan.

Asseth casually comforted his injured conscience, put on the improved Disillusionment Charm, and walked towards the basilisk's skin openly, relying on the fact that Voldemort's current state was not as good as before.

As he carefully walked all the way to the passage where the basilisk skins were placed, Asseth's eyes brightened even more.

The entire passage is quite large, but the basilisk's skin is so big and long that it almost occupies the entire passage.

He suddenly felt that he couldn't imagine seeing the Potion Master's smiling face every day.

"cough cough"

Coughing twice to suppress the fantasy in his heart, Asseth walked closer and started processing the snake skin.

This place is not far from Voldemort's position, so the sound cannot be transmitted, and Voldemort is still indulging in speech, so there is no need to worry too much.

Aces simply raised his hand and used the divine blade to cut the snake skin.

He patiently followed the lines, cut the snake skin into equal parts bit by bit, and carefully folded them together. His seriousness and meticulousness were no less than inscribing magic inscriptions.

Although the snake skin was big, Asses was not slow at all, and he collected all the snake skin in about ten minutes.

During this period, he also took the time to glance at the progress on the other side. Seeing that the basilisk and Harry were still entangled, he was not in a hurry and made more meticulous movements with his hands.

After taking away the last piece of snake skin, Asseth calmly took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped off the debris that had just spilled on his hands.

After making sure it was wiped clean, he threw the handkerchief to the side. The flames that appeared out of nowhere rose up and swallowed up the soft handkerchief. The handkerchief turned into powder and merged with the ground debris.

On the other side, Voldemort drove the basilisk and knocked Harry to the ground again, laughing loudly: "Savior? Nothing more than that."

Harry fell to the ground and stared at Voldemort, his heart filled with powerlessness and fear.

"clatter"

There was a crisp but slight snap of fingers, and neither of the two people present noticed the movement.

Only Ginny, who was lying on the ground, moved her ears slightly and opened her eyes quietly.

There was another snap of her fingers, and Ginny pulled out her wand at some point. Fierce fire shot out from her wand, directly igniting the paper ball in Lockhart's hand.

The laughing Voldemort seemed to have his throat suddenly strangled, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

He looked at Ginny in confusion.

He yelled at Lockhart: "Idiot, use the spell quickly."

Lockhart waved his wand frantically.

He knew what spell to use, but the problem was that he didn't know how.

The fire grew bigger and bigger.

Harry fell to the ground and looked at Ginny in surprise.

The snap of fingers sounded again, mixed in with Voldemort's scream, and no one heard it.

Only Ginny pointed her wand at Harry.

"fainted"

Her voice sounded, and Harry on the ground didn't understand why Ginny attacked him until he lost consciousness.

After doing all this, Ginny collapsed to the ground.

Voldemort, who was burned by the fierce fire, understood something instantly and looked up into the shadows.

"Yes--"

Before he finished speaking, the fire was raging even more fiercely.

The tongue of flames that was half a man's height almost caught Lockhart, causing him to roll back in fright.

But his luck was so "good" that the splashing flames ignited his colorful robe. The flames followed his robe and soon burned his whole body.

Arthas raised his eyebrows and waved his hand slightly. The flames on Lockhart's body weakened a bit.

When he was cutting the snake skin just now, he felt a large ball of blazing magic power moving in the air.

If he guessed correctly, it should be Dumbledore's phoenix. The presence of the phoenix is ​​equivalent to the presence of Dumbledore's spy, so Lockhart is temporarily useful to him and cannot die yet.

Lockhart was still smart at the critical moment of life and death. He didn't care about Voldemort at this time and found a place to shrink in.

The fierce fire continued to burn, and the flames drowned out Voldemort's shrill screams, and only a ferocious black shadow could be seen rolling and struggling inside.

In the end, the paper ball turned into ashes and was blown by the basilisk's breath, all over the sky.

Aces: "..."

Did I crush Voldemort to ashes?

Does anyone believe me when I say I didn’t mean it?

This is a good question. Asseth's eyes drifted for a moment, thinking about this excellent question.

Voldemort died and the Chamber of Secrets fell into silence.

The three people were unconscious. Lockhart, who was huddled in the corner, did not dare to make a sound or even look at them.

In the silence, Asseth did not move and stayed quietly in the shadows. The phantom spell on his body has not been removed.

"Chong-"

The crisp whistle sounded from far to near, and the secret room gradually lit up.

A large fiery red bird carrying flames landed next to Harry, and glanced confusedly at the circle of people lying on the ground.

It looked at Harry and then at Lockhart, the only one who was awake.

Lockhart actually didn't understand what was going on. Now that he saw Dumbledore's phoenix, he immediately realized that reinforcements were coming and stumbled out.

He met the Phoenix and wanted to grab its feet, but the Phoenix waved its wings slightly and avoided his hand.

Before Lockhart could reach out his hand again, the phoenix disappeared.

Aces watched this scene calmly, secretly raising his perception of magic to its highest level.
