if i am not me

He quietly looked at the old man floating in mid-air due to magic power, and suddenly realized that they were really old.The hair colors used to be different, but now they are all the same, only strands of gray and white remain.The lively and agile young man is still unable to withstand the erosion of the years.

For a moment, Dumbledore seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago, so long that he had not come to Hogwarts to be the headmaster, so long that he met him with swords...so long...that he saw him for the first time That day.

But history cannot be changed. After all, they will go to the road of their own choice at the fork in the road of fate, and when they meet again, it is already the current situation.

Dumbledore wondered if he was lucky.In many cases, he is secretly pessimistic—this pessimism is not aimed at others, but at himself.No matter how great others boast about him, he himself knows that he has always had many, many regrets in his life, and these regrets cannot be uttered, but they will not be lessened in his heart.But today, on such a day, he saw this person again who he thought he would never see in this life.

Is it luck or misfortune?

"You must like this gift very much."

Riddle's smile was so bright that many Death Eaters couldn't help showing surprised expressions.

Merlin, they rarely saw the master express his emotions so "frankly".

And Riddle did not let go of Dumbledore's chance to lose his mind. He knew the true meaning of throwing stones into trouble. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Gellert Grindelwald's appearance, he wanted to hit Dumbledore even further.The greatest wizard of the century?No, he wants everyone to see that Albus Dumbledore is just his defeated opponent!The greatest wizard is him!

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to raise his hand again, "But it's more than that."

As the voice fell, a Death Eater suddenly appeared behind Riddle, and in his hand, he was holding a black leather bag that was almost as tall as a person.

"Look at my second present for you, Dumbledore!"

With a sharp wave of the magic wand, the tightly tied rope on the black leather bag fell instantly, and even the black leather bag automatically exposed the contents inside.

The magic that previously illuminated the battlefield was gradually weakening, so that when everyone looked into the bag, they felt that the shadows were burning and they couldn't see clearly.

"people?!"

"who is it?"

"Who?!"

"Seems to be……"

"No, it's too far away to see clearly."

Listening to the voices coming from every corner of the battlefield, Riddle smiled maliciously again.With a wave of his hand, there was another dazzling white light, which clearly illuminated the situation in the center of the battlefield, and made everyone finally see clearly who was in the black leather bag.

"It's the Boy Who Lived!"

"Longbottom?!"

"Why is he here?"

Compared to Gellert Grindelwald, Neville's sudden appearance obviously made the Order of the Phoenix completely panicked, and the noise spread from the center layer by layer like waves, causing the originally quiet battlefield to become strangely noisy.

Some Death Eaters may not know the true meaning of the master's capture of Neville Longbottom, but members of the Order of the Phoenix know what it means.

Among those they had sent to protect Neville - there was a traitor!

Seeing the distorted and angry expressions of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, Riddle couldn't help but let out an ironic chuckle, and looked at Dumbledore, "Leo Potter?"

Therefore, the effect of setting up doubts is excellent.In some people's eyes, the fact that the minister's son is a hostage is enough to make some people fearful.If you can catch it, you can make good use of it, and it's a pity if you can't catch it. His goal has never been that milk baby.

This group of people boasted that they carefully protected the boy who was able to defeat him in the prophecy, but still let him seize the loophole and steal this so-called "old enemy".

It's ridiculous to think about it.

Just such a brat who can be rounded and flattened by him is actually considered to be able to defeat him!

The prophecy is not the most ridiculous thing. The most ridiculous thing is that Dumbledore, who has been shrewd all his life, actually believed the prophecy, protected the so-called "Boy Who Lived", and carefully cultivated it, hoping that this boy will one day Suddenly Merlin possessed his body and defeated him.

Do not!Do not!Do not!

Riddle sneered.

He didn't know whether he should yell at Dumbledore for his intelligence or thank him for being stupid.He would never miss this kind of good opportunity to catch them all at once.

To be honest, since his resurrection, he has had enough of the feeling of restraint, and he will not be comfortable for a day without getting rid of Dumbledore, the old man.Plus the so-called prophecy and the Boy Who Lived...

Gee!

In short, today is completely over!

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Order of the Phoenix, Riddle excitedly sent out a signal. In an instant, the Death Eaters moved again, and the Order of the Phoenix was obviously caught off guard, and the situation was very passive for a while.

If any Muggle could see the current scene, he would definitely think that he was watching a holographic magic blockbuster. In the movie, people wore strange robes, and different colors divided them into different camps. Small wooden sticks of different colors attack each other.Of course, humans can only be regarded as a foil. The most amazing thing in this movie is the various grotesque creatures, some of which look like fairies in fairy tales, while others are strange and eye-opening.They are either attacking each other, or fighting with humans. The whole scene is full of violence and blood, but it reveals a trace of dark beauty strangely, making the people in it crazy.

But in this thick and colorful picture, the most eye-catching ones are still the few people standing in the center of the storm.

Seeing Neville, Dumbledore couldn't help hesitating when he made a move.Del had no scruples and began to shoot all kinds of evil spells at Dumbledore unscrupulously.Of course, he also kept a proper distance, trying not to let the two "hostages" get out of his control.

Naturally, Dumbledore would not stand and be beaten. For a while, the eye of the storm also began to release dangerous signals. The humans and creatures surrounding the two of them dispersed one after another, not wanting to be affected by this terrible magic power.

A duel between two of Britain's most powerful wizards is something no one else can take part in.

Lying on the grass, Harry, Draco, and Ron secretly watched the situation on the battlefield through the blockage of a giant monster corpse. There were fires, thick smoke, roars and screams everywhere, and the spells like fireworks had no clue Running around like crazy, made their journey extremely difficult.

If they hadn't cleverly applied the blood of a werewolf on their bodies before, they wouldn't have been able to get here in a battlefield where so many strange creatures coexisted.

Still, Harry insisted on moving on.

If he didn't know what happened tonight at this moment, then his previous life would be in vain.

Harry does not deny that the reborn self is a selfish person, for the sake of those he loves, he can even abandon some things that were once important to him.But in the same way, in order to protect the one he loves, he can also pick up the things he once abandoned.

In any case, Voldemort - must die!

Draco and Ron had the same thought.If Draco was able to stand on the same front with Voldemort, since his father made that choice, they must stand against Voldemort, whether for themselves or for the family.Not to mention Ron, the whole family is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and they have an endless relationship with Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the battlefield, the three of them ran all the way from the edge to the center of the battlefield. Because of this, they didn't miss the scene where Riddle threw Neville.
