[HP] Devil is alive

Snape opened his eyes, staring fixedly at the stone slab that was very close to him.Consciousness slowly gathered, he suddenly pushed away the boy who was pressing on his chest, only felt that his chest was blocked, and his breathing was very difficult.Hitting the ground finally woke up Blake, who was also dizzy and sore.He sat up, a little dazed.The shadow of the friend's death has not dissipated, and the rapid development is beyond their acceptable range.Black was already very angry just now, but he never thought of taking anyone's life, including Snape, and he was just looking in front of him, deliberately ignoring what would happen in the end.

But now is not the time for burnout.Pedillo was almost a stranger to Snape.He quickly recalled the situation before he fell into a coma, and the position he was in now was obviously not familiar to them, and he might even be in the trap of the other party.He was very worried about the situation of the Messiah, and at the same time vaguely guessed that this group of people who came for the Messiah might be... his companions?

Snape kicked Black unceremoniously, and snorted coldly: "Stupid lion, can't you get up?"

"What did you say?!" Black immediately glared at Snape, stood up suddenly, only to find that the ground under his feet was uneven, and almost fell down again.Taking a closer look, what they were standing on was not the ground at all, but a big white snake coiled up!

It was only when Snape noticed this that he thought it was weird, since there was a huge coiled monster under their feet.It doesn't even have to stand up, just lying on its stomach like this is already taller than them.He couldn't help but despise the person who threw them here, at least they should be distributed evenly, okay? There is at least one-third of the space over there empty, so why are they all crowded here, making them look like they are on a hill? Yes, you can't go up and down.Lupine's position, still unconscious, looked dangerous.

Snape looked around, but couldn't find the door.I secretly prayed that it would be best for Nina to block it, otherwise they would be considered trapped here.But before that, what they need to do is how to wake up the big snake and Lupine.

While Snape was concentrating on studying Nina, Black secretly rubbed his face vigorously.He is already mentally prepared for Nina like this, no matter what she looks like, Nina is still Nina, this is the most important thing.Black couldn't help thinking of Pediru, if they were more tolerant and patient, wouldn't the situation be different?Blake clearly remembered the way his relatives got along with their friends-they had many "friends" who made noise in their world, but when they were quiet, there were not many people around them, and some even had only one or two people.Are they lonely?Blake didn't know that many people in his impression were like this.Ever since he was sensible, those people have been accompanied by one or two people.To this day, figures of those people can still be found in their lives.Blake has never been able to understand this state before, he is so young and full of enthusiasm, his life is like a grand party frozen in spring, the outstanding, handsome and brave Prince Gryffindor lives in the noisy , In the warm fiery red world.

But on this day, he suddenly felt homesick.Thinking of my own home in the City of Glory, by the small lake surrounded by green trees, four boys and one girl, lying on the soft grass, looking at the blue sky...

Gryffindor friendships shouldn't be so fragile.Blake still remembers that they said they wanted to be each other's lifelong friends.

"You..." Snape turned his head suddenly, seeing Black's red eyes, both of them couldn't help but startled.

"Is Nina awake at this time?" Snape was a little at a loss, always thinking that the white snake was Nina, and standing on it or her was weird.But there is no open space for them to gain a foothold here.

Black was about to laugh at "this question is very low-level", when he suddenly realized whether Snape was trying to find a way for him.He seldom loses his composure like this, and things like crying his nose rarely appear in Blake's childhood memories.After thinking about it, he is also very clear that Pediru's personality is different from theirs, not to say that one is bad, but that there will inevitably be conflicts when they are together... It is not anyone's fault.

Black decided to go down the steps Snape had given him, and it was hard to imagine how distressed Black would be if he was surrounded by a vibrant Gryffindor.James and Remus must have felt the same way, Snape's reticence at this moment is so sweet... Black thought with a wry smile.

"Conscious," Black said, suddenly thinking that there is still one person missing here, and looking at the ridiculously big white snake in front of him, sweating... "James..."

Snape's forehead twitched. "You better hope that stupid lion isn't down there."

The two stepped forward in silence, and first woke up Lupine, who was less difficult, and then the three of them figured out how to "friendly" wake up this big snake that could swallow them up in one bite. — She seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Suddenly, Blake had a flash of inspiration and thought of someone——

"Ah! Professor Voldemort!"

"!" The big snake suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes, and as if to show that he was not asleep, his whole body moved accordingly, and his head hit the top of the room hard, making a dull sound.

——This seemingly rough cave did not collapse.

The three people who almost rolled down in this earthquake-like fluctuation supported each other and stood in a state of embarrassment.The White Snake was so squeezed that he seemed very confused, so Lupine tentatively asked, "Nina?"

"Ah?" The big snake turned her head according to the sound, and really moved her whole body, and the three of them hurriedly told her not to move any more.Nagini, who realized how weird he was at the moment, was very wronged, "Why can't I change back?"

Ignoring its not-so-slender body and excessive volume, the tone of voice is pitiful...

Not knowing how to comfort her, Black first asked an important question: "Nina, where's James?"

"I don't know." While worrying about his uncontrollable loud voice, Nagini struggled with how to change to a more comfortable posture.It has never carried anything since it has grown so big, and I am afraid that one will shake several people off.

"Can't you make it smaller?"

"No." Nagini slowly moved his body to the empty space in the room, at least to make it flat.

Don't say that the little snake is an incompetent little snake, in fact Nagini is also a hardworking little snake!Do you think it's easy to change from a normal snake to white skin and red eyes?Do you think it is easy to grow from two meters to more than 20 meters? It took hundreds of years for Basilisk to grow into Nagini as it is now, and Nagini, who has a similar physique except for appearance, was purely urged by external force to transform into a human form!

Speaking of Basilisk, why does Nagini feel that this place feels so familiar to him?It seems... as if... is one of Basilisk's many dens?

After the people on his back got off, Nagini let go of his body and rolled a few times in the empty stone room.The more they looked, the more Nagini felt that he had guessed right after measuring (…) with his body.Hogwarts is a treasure land full of magic power. The further you go underground, the closer you get to the magic circle set up by the Big Four, the purer the magic.Back then, the Big Four had their own precious pets. In order to meet their different growth requirements and provide them with a comfortable living environment, many underground secret rooms were specially arranged.It was only later that the owners of these secret rooms for pets died and left, and the Basilisk who was still alive naturally took over.Nagini has been tossing around with the Basilisk a lot, and there are many secret rooms here that just allow Nagini to roll a few times in it.

Nagini was overjoyed that he had found the answer, and excitedly sent out whistles that a few little wizards couldn't hear to greet his friends.Snape and the others saw Nagini twisting and turning like a convulsion, causing them to flee back and forth, and they were very puzzled, "Nina, what are you doing?"

"Do you know where this is?"

Nagini heard a slight response from a distance, and turned around happily, "This is Basilisk's home, just below Hogwarts."

"Basilisk?" Before they had time to rejoice at their position, the three of them agreed that this strange name... gave them a bad feeling.

As if to confirm their conjecture, the bare wall in front of them cracked soundlessly like a film, and a huge snake-like or lizard-like head suddenly popped out, about the same size as Nina, and it was frightening. Several young wizards almost fell backwards.

The green and black snake-shaped monster raised its body, and the second half of its body was pulled out from the wall lightly.And the wall recovered as if nothing had happened after its body left.It closed its eyes, but it didn't detract from its horror. The hard scales on the human face exuded a cold light, as if it could be cut if touched by human hands.The little wizards unconsciously approached Nina.At least, Nina looks much less lethal than this... snake.

[Nagini dear, you are so polite, did you bring some snacks? 】Basilisk is a genuine and highly poisonous monster. In addition, its voice is very hoarse if it does not speak for a long time. Even the same kind will feel that the snake skin is numb.However, Nagini is not an ordinary snake. The two snakes that belong to Slytherin and have the same mutation have an indescribable sense of intimacy with each other. Basilisk even treats Nagini, who is N generations younger than it, as a junior. with.

【———They are not snacks, we accidentally dropped them in. 】Seeing Basilisk Nagini's grievances boiled over again. The feeling of revealing his body in front of Basilisk is different from that in front of human friends, which is why Nagini subconsciously ignored Lupine and the others.

Hearing that the little snake was not happy, Basilisk "looked" at the few little wizards hiding beside Nagini with "loyalty".The pitch-black snake letter shows that it is different, even a little saliva is enough to kill a few weak humans.Not to mention the creepy feeling of being "stared" by a snake, it's not good!

With a new master, Basilisk, who was able to resume activities after a thousand years, but could only be an "eyeliner" underground at Hogwarts, finally re-tasted the sense of superiority that was feared and feared before, and he was in a good mood.

[It's so strange to say, if you didn't call me, I would still be sleeping. ] The incompetent antique "eyeliner" asked Nagini, who was smarter than him, strangely. After all, he had more contact with the outside world.

Nagini briefly told Basilisk how they came in. This area is Basilisk's territory, and no one knows the changes in various places better than it.Hearing that he was hypnotized on purpose, and that those guys were even more hostile to its territory, Basilisk was naturally very upset. In addition, he offended their little snake, and Basilisk became angry immediately .

[Found it, let's go there now! 】

"You guys come on my back..." Nagini just finished speaking, Basilisk hissed a few times back, and Nagini had to change his words, "No, it's on Basilisk's back."

No way, it would be nice if a certain confused little snake didn't lose itself, and let it lead people?Maybe they all got stuck in the secret room in the end.Without Basilisk leading the way, these walls wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

From what Basilisk senses, there are only two in the area that fit Nagini's description, the Messiah and an unknown human.Nagini knows that he must first find someone the owner cares about and make sure he is safe.What's more, as Basilisk said, there are no humans with the same aura as the few little wizards in this area. Except for the two with the strongest fluctuations, the other one is much stronger than the few little wizards. a place.

In the bright secret room, the killing intent was agitating, and the soaring magic power formed an invisible barrier. During the fierce collision, the broken stones and cracks were quickly repaired by the full magic power.There was no voice, and they were fighting with their lives from the moment they met.The long silver claws unceremoniously tore apart the solid body of the rock guard, and a water-colored film stood up with a wave of his hand, blocking the golden fireball attacking from the front.It wasn't over yet, the thorns that sprang out from the ground in a circular shape stabbed at the moment the boy landed, piercing through the boy's body.He exploded like a balloon, and the blood all over the sky turned into blue wind blades, forcing the old man to retreat steadily, only to block the attack by swinging a thick earth wall.

The magic power here was so pure and sufficient that the two of them were evenly tied, unable to do anything to each other for a while.This was the only chance. Yashin, who had several cuts in his exquisite mage robe, dodged the devil's melee attack, and for this reason scrapped a clay substitute again.He had to come out to take risks and hide it from others, hoping that this battle could restore the lost confidence of mankind and the trust that was about to collapse.He can't allow, can't allow human beings to give up the Central Continent, to give up their blood relatives and people who are still waiting for them there.What hope is there if they abandon each other when God will abandon them? !

The old man felt the signal from the half-elf hiding aside, getting faster and faster, just like his breathing and heartbeat, which were unbearably fast.The demon on the opposite side showed a cruel smile, his eyes were stained blood red with hatred, telling the indelible estrangement between them.How could such a demon give them salvation? !And he will never believe in God.

They are coming!

The inconspicuous little rabbit hiding in the corner instantly turned into a slender boy, and the coquettish curse pattern emerged as the seal was released. The boy who crawled over it was not as long as elves, but it was obviously different from ordinary people's ears.Beautiful, but also strangely ugly, like a terrible poisonous snake coiled in the shadows, crawling across the handsome face of the young man, letting the dirty black texture cover his whiteness.He raised his hand and tried his best, the moment the barrier was erected, a dark green giant snake rushed out of the wall, with sharp fangs in its wide open mouth, and its face with eyes closed was still ferocious, as if the coming...

Success or failure depends on one stroke, the magic circle that leaves only allows two people to pass through, risk his life, and take this damned demon away!Yassin couldn't distract himself from thinking about what the boy had done, and he couldn't see clearly whether the pattern on the boy's face represented attack or defense. He could only trust his child, he would definitely be able to block those two big snakes and a few unworthy children.

The icy-faced boy stood on the edge of the barrier, looking coldly at the two big snakes trying to break through the barrier.They looked at each other through the invisible barrier, and could only feel the coolness of the barrier, as if they were separated by an invisible gap.His scarlet eyes were cold, and Snape saw himself in them, not as close as ever.They all looked at each other with such indifferent eyes. The warmth of cuddling each other before was just an illusion. In their lives, the only shining light was the one person and one demon fighting desperately behind them.

— Laila, you won't let me down.

The young man moved the corner of his mouth with difficulty, as if he was smiling, and the last grain of sand had fallen from the invisible hourglass—its name was fate.Snape raised his hand as if feeling something, and found that there was no more barrier between them.He raised his hand, as if touching his cold fingertips, and then staggered away. The figure of the young man flashed in front of his eyes, and he heard the sound of a sharp weapon passing through the flesh.

In Laila's memory, what she heard the most was the story of jihad, the war between humans and demons, seemingly hopeless, but miraculously won in the end.It was the first time he came into contact with the power of the devil so closely, even though he folded it by an unknown amount, it still defeated all his defenses in an instant, tearing his heart apart while breathing.

"Laila!"

Only then did they know the boy's name. It was the last voice that Laila heard from the old man who was guarding him behind him, with emotions of anger, disappointment, and pain.

— Laila, my child...

——Follow me tomorrow... Activate the attack boosting circle... Maybe you will die... No... Yes... Maybe you can survive...

—It’s okay, teacher.

That wasn't their plan, and Lyra shouldn't have activated the defensive circle in the final showdown!Yassin will be one step behind Messiah, at which point Laila will appear to block Messiah and hold him back.Messiah's strenuous blow must not be blocked by Laila, but Yassin will do his best to risk his life, and use Laila's boost to give Messiah a fatal blow!

Instead of damn him blocking it himself!

The leaving magic circle opened at the same time as Messiah's attack, and Yassin and his unwillingness left with the white light of the teleportation circle.

The last sound and light went away, and his body was no longer under his control.Laila thought, he has been sorry to three people in his life, the Messiah who wrongly loved him and missed a harmless animal for the third time, the boy who was just like him in the distance but was deceived by him, and the teacher who fell short because of him ...

However, I was not the last to leave.Lyra suddenly felt morbidly proud.

He closed his eyes tiredly, breathed, little by little, and gradually disappeared, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.On the other side of eternity, there is no harm, no resentment, and no abandonment.

……

The next day, two types of articles were repeated in the newspapers, those mourning Voldemort's sadly deceased youngest son and those exposing the evils of the Ministry of Magic.But in itself, they are all just welcoming the Lord to ascend to the supreme throne.

Even in the prosperous age, not all places can be infected by this splendor.But under the suppression of the big background, how many people's attention can these tiny corners attract?And in some corners, not many people will know who left, who was sad, and who was happy.
