war and peace

Harry landed with a man and a snake, and was a little staggering because of the heavy weight on his body.

The new place was the camp where they had been stationed.Spring has come, the snow on the ground has completely melted, and the small water flows to the bottom of the potholes and lowlands, forming a gurgling stream.A few strands of green emerge from the crevices of the stone, and the thin leaves sway gently in the breeze.Looking around, the field is fresh green, and the sky that has just rained faintly shows a high blue blue.

This is definitely a rare beauty in London, which is rainy all year round.However, Harry didn't care to appreciate it. He felt that the person he was holding seemed to be bleeding out. "Heal quickly!" He laid the person flat on a large rock, pointed at the wound and shouted quickly, but it didn't work, the wound was still bleeding.He had been wanting to do this since he regained consciousness just now, but he knew it was futile.Ordinary healing spells are of no help to the wounds caused by black magic, and without the corresponding counter-spells, it may even be impossible to heal the wounds.Harry racked his brains to recall the healing spell Snape had cast on Malfoy in the bathroom, but could only vaguely remember a few syllables... oh, how he hated himself for being completely petrified by then!

"Where are you talking about?" Harry finally gave up this hopeless thought, and then looked around.He couldn't remember all the spells, and using them rashly would undoubtedly have unpredictable consequences. "is it here?"

The big snake was entrenched beside Voldemort, its two golden eyes fixed on the wound across his chest for a moment. "It's here...you did this?" The first sentence was completely subconsciously answered, and the tone of the latter sentence was almost out of anger.

"It's true that there is no one here, but I thought there would be at least a house or something in the place you mentioned..." Harry was still looking around, and after listening to it all, he realized that the big snake wasn't talking about a roof or something. "I didn't mean to do it...he used the Imperius Curse on me," said Harry hastily.Although he would definitely make a move, he definitely wouldn't use a black magic killing spell - especially after he already knew the power of Shenfeng Wuying.

Nagini said something in a low voice that sounded like "I just knew it".Then it swam again and straightened its front half: "What are you going to do now, huh?" It showed two long fangs, and its posture was full of vigilance.

Harry knew he had to reassure the snake first. "Believe it or not, I don't want to hurt him. This spell is the same, and the previous killing curse is also the same. They are not from my original intention." His eyes moved to the person on the ground, whose face was already white . "Can't you really take us to a safe place for treatment first? Voldemort looks bad."

"Of course there is such a place, I'm just not sure about you...but..." The big snake stared at him again, and then said with determination: "Let's go, use your hovering spell." Swim to the large loose and overgrown grassland.

Harry followed it, stepping on it and discovering why Nagini had asked him to use the Levitation Charm.What he had thought was grass was not grass at all.Those plants are not tall, the edges of the leaves are grayish white, yellow green or light red, and the ends are curled downwards.It was sphagnum moss...there was a swamp below, and a swamp that stretched as far as eye can see—he knew now why they hadn't found anything the last time they were here.

But Harry's levitation spell could make Voldemort weightless, not himself.He stepped back immediately, thinking that Voldemort could keep aloft while walking, and thinking that Nagini might have equated him with his master's level.But actually, if Voldemort didn't mean it... Harry took another look at the unconscious man.The blood on his front placket had clotted into lumps, sticking hard to the skin, but the man's wound was still bleeding.

As a snake, Nagini didn't have Harry's problems.It was so anxious that it rushed far away, only to find that Harry was still in a daze. "Okay," it turned back angrily, "come up, I'll take you there. If I didn't know how to spell..." it muttered very unhappily. "You really do exactly what Foddy said."

Harry was rarely embarrassed.He had known for a long time that his magic level was not as good as Voldemort's, but he still felt uncomfortable being so directly despised by a snake.He walked up to the snake and stood on it, then noticed its last words. "What did Voldemort say about me?" Although he felt that it was not a good time to ask this question, he couldn't help asking.Maybe Nagini's words can explain his doubts from the side...

The body of the big snake advanced quickly on the peat swamp, avoiding several mud puddles, obviously it was very familiar with the terrain. "Occlumency as bad as hell," it said in a tone of disapproval, "of course, I suspect that few people's Occlumency can fool Foddy at all; With the Disarming Curse, the Killing Curse probably will never succeed..."

Harry actually blushed, ashamed.His Occlumency can be said to be vulnerable... and the Disarming Charm, no wonder he was found in the seven potters in the morning, because he used the Disarming Charm on Stan Sampak... as for possibly forever The death curse that didn't succeed is probably true, otherwise why is Nagini still alive and well?Uh, Nagini?Harry felt he had caught on to something he hadn't known before: "My Killing Curse didn't work? So you didn't die, but the soul piece..."

"Don't think too much, that's what Fudi solved by himself. It's completely unreliable to count on you, and you can't succeed after being hit by the Imperius Curse!" Big Snake said very unhappy. "Your spell has failed, and you have to make Voldy finish it yourself!" It disliked Harry's magic level very much, not only because he was indeed inferior to Voldemort, but more importantly because of the latter point.Just such a stupid guy, how can it be worth it for Fudi to do this?

"I..." Harry was tongue-tied again.He thought he had destroyed the Horcrux on the snake, but it turned out that apart from the reason for the Death Curse, was Voldemort designing even the result of the Death Curse for him?He also sent the sword in an oblique way... After all, among the six Horcruxes, was he the only one who solved the diary himself?He couldn't be cruel, but someone had planned for him in advance.Since July last year, he has been living in the illusion created by this person; but he didn't know it at all, and thought that things were going well.

Harry felt a sudden surge of anger.Why would that person do this?Do you expect to make up for it by doing so?The more Harry thought about it, the angrier he became.Why did that person make his own decision for him?No matter how bad his Occlumency is, it can't be used as a reason for such a thing!

He was silent, and Nagini did not continue.Soon they were on the other side of the swamp, on solid ground.On the opposite side was a hillside covered with tall euonymuses.Harry still saw no sign of the building, but he said nothing, just followed the swimming snake.The hovering spell was not removed, because the trunks were straight and the forest was spacious, unlike the Forbidden Forest where there were sticking out branches everywhere.

As Harry walked, he stared at the pale face in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotions that he didn't know.He was tense just now, but now the quiet atmosphere made him relax slowly.He really hated this man very much, hated him for killing his parents, and Sirius, indirectly on the false appearance made by the Department of Mysteries; Lose the Horcrux and win the final duel - but not to mention Dumbledore's deliberate concealment, he can't turn a blind eye to recent events.He is very confused... What is the most correct way to do it?

But even so, Harry felt he had made the right choice.He certainly couldn't let Voldemort die like that, and while the Order of the Phoenix probably wouldn't kill him (Harry thought it was basically difficult, only slightly possible), he didn't yet know why Voldemort would do it.Yes, ask why first, and then decide what to do next... If Lupine knew about this, he would definitely say he was credulous again.But he wasn't afraid that the story was false, and whether there were Death Eaters ambush in front of him - because he couldn't think of why Voldemort had to act to such an extent.If there is a real problem, then he died half a year ago.But he really didn't understand why Voldemort would do this...

Thinking of Lupine, Harry finally realized that there were still a lot of people at Hogwarts who didn't know what he had done.If he left without saying goodbye, they might be worried, right?And Hagrid, and Mrs. Weasley... But Hermione should have already guessed the facts, there's no big problem... He reached out and took the other hand that was hanging down, coldly, and suddenly hoped that there would be the same Subtle heat flow.

There was a ray of skylight in front of the forest, and it seemed that it was coming to an end.Harry had braced himself to face a horde of Death Eaters, but there was no one there.After a sudden enlightenment, he found that they had almost reached the edge of the lake, and the water surface was calm and dark green.The sun has risen, reflecting a brilliant golden light on the layers of leaves.Then he noticed the buildings hidden in the lake and mountains, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The rising sun shone on the castle spire.Then it went over the lake, and across the stream, and across the plain, and finally landed on the tower of another castle.

The alarm has been dropped, because the Death Eaters are truly gone for good.The main members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered in the principal's office to discuss the current situation.Hermione was sitting in the middle of a group of people, and she was undoubtedly the most likely to know the inside story after Harry left-her voice was so loud that almost everyone heard it.

At this time, the principal's office was silent.At everyone's behest, Hermione had just told about everything she and Harry had done while they were in exile together. "That's how it turned out," Hermione concluded, rolling her eyes back and forth across several faces, "whether you believe it or not."

Ron's eyes widened indistinctly, his mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "So...Hermione, did you help Harry escape Voldemort?"

"It's too dangerous, I should have stopped him a long time ago! I thought it would be better to do it in the Forbidden Forest, but..." Kingsley-Shacklebolt looked very regretful, and Mr. Weasley had the same expression with him and Lupine.The big half-blood giant stood in the corner, shocked and worried, his mouth opened and closed, unable to express his thoughts.

"Escape? Did you understand what I said?" Hermione said impatiently, "He can make himself invincible! As for the danger, are you sure we were not more dangerous before? Then I can still stand here properly?"

Ron opened his mouth, looking very unconvinced.Then he changed his suspicious expression again, "Are you really Hermione? Haven't you been cast with the Imperius Curse by the mysterious man?"

"It was Harry who was cast with the Imperius Curse!" Hermione was furious, "It wasn't me! And Voldemort fell into a coma after being injured, he can't continue to control Harry's every move!" She glanced at the headmaster's office again. Everyone, including Dumbledore's portrait: "I knew it would be like this!"

"So you were guarding against me from the beginning, Hermione." Dumbledore smiled wryly.When Hermione narrated just now, she deliberately bypassed the part of his dark history, and she presumably knew everything about it. "Aberforth probably told you all about our family. You've always been the clearest one, I must say."

Hermione was still sitting there with her hands folded, her expression a little calmer.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Dumbledore's reaction was much calmer than theirs, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.Moreover, Dumbledore said that Hermione knew about their family?whats the matter?And Dumbledore said Hermione was sane?

"I think the matter of the sword alone can be confirmed. Hermione is telling the truth. The real Gryffindor sword and the sorting hat were given to Voldemort by Snape as early as October last year. No one can tell the truth." Get it from another source," said Dumbledore slowly.He took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose with one hand.

Someone started cursing in a low voice, nothing more than saying that Snape was a traitor.

"That's exactly what I want to say. Severus is not a traitor, he is an undercover agent of our Order of the Phoenix. He didn't kill me, I made him do it." Dumbledore didn't stop them from speaking, but his tone was slightly improved a bit.But even if he doesn't, there's enough to say to grab everyone's attention.

"What?" Kingsley was the first to speak out, his face full of disbelief: "Dumbledore, are you crazy?"

"That's what Severus told me at the time. I think, in the current situation, it's pointless to keep this secret, and Severus will take the blame he doesn't deserve. Although according to my plan, which will probably continue until his death." Dumbledore put his glasses back on.Instead of facing the fingertips in the usual position, his hands were resting on the table, palms down. "It's a long story. But before I begin, please accept the greatest apology a portrait can express."
