"Are you okay?!" Rui ignored Gibbon's injury, she was only worried about Luna and Delena.Delina's body still twitched slightly, but she was still conscious.Luna was able to stand up already, but her head was covered in cold sweat, and it looked like she was struggling.

"Not bad..." Delena struggled to stand up. "Malfoy just ran up..."

A dazzling green light suddenly exploded on the astronomy tower, and Rui rushed to the window and saw a huge Dark Mark floating outside.

"Malfoy is crazy!" She was stunned, but the Death Eaters didn't intend to give them a moment to breathe. Greyback's roar came from the other end of the corridor. Amid Selwyn's wild laughter, Neville was cried out in pain.

"You two go to Professor Swift!" Rey cast the Disillusionment Charm on them again, and gave them each a fake mouse firework. "Go through the passage behind the tapestry at the end of the corridor, leading directly to the fourth floor! If you don't see it right, blow up this firework. Remember? The Clear Water Curse—"

"——can make the fireworks burn and disappear, and make them magnify!" Luna replied quickly. "We're fine, you go, be careful and safe!"

"Okay." Rey nodded, and was about to step up the stairs to chase Malfoy, but felt that he suddenly hit an invisible wall and rolled down the stairs.

"Stupid!" Renata hopped in the portrait. "Gibbon is not dead yet!"

When Rui turned his head, Gibbon was grinning grinningly, trying to stand up unsteadily.There were several blood holes on his arms and body, and he was bleeding, but he raised his wand high as if he didn't feel it.Gibbon disarmed Rae before she could get up.

"Disarm you!" Delena went and returned, and Gibbon was disarmed inexplicably.When he clutched the wound in his abdomen and was about to retrieve his wand, Delena's shattering spell had already collapsed the porch, and Gibbon was crushed underneath, motionless.

Rey retrieved her wand, but she still couldn't get through the invisible magic barrier.At this moment, the Death Eaters had already fought ahead and arrived at the bottom of the stairs leading to the Astronomy Tower.

"Stop them!" Ron yelled. "Damned!"

Selwyn nimbly dodged Ron's spell and rushed straight to Rui: "Short, don't try to run!"

"You're the one who don't want to pass!" Rui knew that this barrier should be some kind of limited magic, since it couldn't pass through, then guard it to prevent Death Eaters from passing through.She made up her mind and focused on fighting Selwyn.The year-long physical training and actual combat training played a role at this time, she almost exhausted all the spells she knew, and fought back vigorously.Selwyn didn't seem to have expected that Rui had made such great progress. After being hit by a bat-spirit spell transformed by the Fire Phoenix Curse, the one-armed Selwyn was sent flying by Rui's petrification spell.

Rui gasped, Selwyn was a formidable enemy, and it was not easy to deal with him.The massive consumption of magic power triggered Rui's migraine, her left hand was already shaking unbearably, and her left hand clenched into a fist was clenched with sweat.But she didn't dare to relax at all, because Amycus and Alecto had rushed over, their opponent Tonks was lying on the ground, and Neville was lying motionless on a collapsed stone torch.

Rie saw Ron yelling Neville's name in pain; saw Lupine whose throat was almost slit by Greyback because he was worried about Tonks; The death curse of the blonde wizard; Professor McGonagall was tired of rebounding the spell for the wounded on the ground, because the spell of the blonde wizard flew around, threatening the lives of the wounded at all times.

She jumped up angrily, sparks burst from the tip of the hazel wand in her hand, and shot two stunning spells at the Amycus brothers and sisters who were running towards them with unprecedented speed and force.Amycus' spells and Ree's spells collided in the air, and magical sparks lit Alecto's hood.Alecto curses and throws spells at Rey, but they are all bounced off by Rey's spell.

"Two against one, you're so despicable!" Ron roared and rushed over, casting a very beautiful disarming spell on Alecto.Her wand flew into the air and was instantly shattered by Rye, who let out a sharp howl and simply jumped straight at Rye.Rey made a decisive decision, imitating what Fred did at the time, and gave her a stone with a catapult spell. Alecto was hit in the abdomen by the stone, and when he fell, he tripped Amycus who was trying to attack Ron.

"Severus!"

"Severus!"

Professor McGonagall's surprised voice came, and at the same time, Selwin and Greyback also shouted.Rey was trying to tie the Amycus brothers and sisters together with a magic rope. Hearing this, he looked up and saw Snape running over in a black robe, looking like a big walking bat.

Rie hesitated, both with her wand.On the one hand, she knew that Dumbledore trusted Snape very much, and even when she and Dumbledore cast the Loyalty Charm, the witness was the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor; but on the other hand, she did not believe that Harry was I'm lying - after all, Snape's preference for Malfoy is well known, and it's unclear whether his arrival is a good thing or not.

"Professor, you can't go up yet." Rey's body moved before her brain, trying to block Snape's unplanned pace with her tiny body of just over five feet.Snape didn't pay attention to Rey's words at all, he was still running fast, his big scary nose seemed to be about to poke Rey's face.

"Get out of the way, you idiot!" Renata hopped her feet in a painting next to Rey. "Stay out of there—no!"

Rye had barely caught Snape's movement when he was thrown into the air and fell hard to the ground.She fell dizzy, her ears were buzzing, and all the bones in her body seemed to be broken.She could barely feel any external changes, and she couldn't lift any strength in her body, feeling powerless and sweeping her whole body like a tide.The simple act of opening her eyes has become an impossible task for her.

After about a few minutes, consciousness slowly returned to her.When she struggled to open her eyes, what she saw was Qiu Man's face full of worry and concern. "Are you okay?" Qiu straightened her body and made her sit against the wall. "I checked and there is no problem with the internal organs. Is there any pain?"

"I'm fine." Rui felt his voice flickering. "What's going on, why are you here? Those Death Eaters—"

"Professor Swift led the DA members to repel them," Qiu said with a little excitement. "Ernie, Justin, and Boot are with them. There are about five or six Death Eaters there. I saw Delina, and she said you're here alone, so I came over."

"Selwyn..." Rui felt a little clearer. "And Snape, he shot me flying, he's not right, Cho—"

Qiu's expression darkened: "They escaped." She paused. "Just now, Harry chased after them. Neville and the others were injured, and Professor McGonagall took them to the medical wing."

"Harry...Harry..." Rae shook his drowsy head. "Harry is back, what about Dumbledore?"

Qiu was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

Ruiyi only looked around at this moment, and found that apart from the two of them, there were only ruins left on the entire eighth floor.Not far away, Gibbon was still buried under the broken bricks, motionless, and seemed to be out of breath.

She supported the wall and stood up, and walked towards the window with Qiu's support.They passed the window frame that was blown beyond recognition by the curse, and saw many people standing under the Astronomy Tower.Some were in pajamas, others in school gowns, and most held lighted wands.

Then with the lights of those wands, Rye saw a man lying on the ground in the crowd, and a tall figure parted the crowd, and then a tall, thin man knelt beside the lying man.

Lying on the ground is Dumbledore.

The night was very quiet, so quiet that Rui could clearly hear the cries of the people on the ground from a height of tens of meters.Hagrid's cries were the loudest, drowning out almost all whispers and sobs.

"he died……"

"how can that be possible……"

"But what's lying there is indeed..."

"...Look, Harry..."

"Who did it..."

"no doubt……"

Dumbledore is dead.

Ray slid to the ground.

Fox sang a mournful dirge, and Rye was reminded of many things by it.This gentle and loving old principal is a beacon in Ray's life, and Ray will never forget the trust and support he gave him.

But he is gone.

Like Sirius, there's no turning back.

When she returned to the medical wing under Qiu's strong request, there were already many people there.Neville, Baker Boot and Tonks were all lying on the bed, but Bill's bed was the most crowded.The Weasleys were guarding Bill together with Fleur, on Fleur's beautiful face that always exuded a mysterious light, there were crystal tears hanging at the moment.

"Rye!" Mrs. Weasley ran to hug her. "They said you were thrown off by Snape—"

"It's nothing." Rey replied blankly. "I'm all right—where's Bill?"

Fleur let out a loud sob, and Rye saw that Ginny actually handed her a dirty handkerchief.

"A lot of things, Rye..." Tonks said, standing aside in despair. "us……"

"Snape," Rey's memory seemed to be stuck in ten minutes ago. "Snape, he shot me flying, and then what? Why did Professor Dumbledore—"

"He killed Dumbledore," said Hermione softly, sounding like she had a bad cold. "Harry said he saw Snape kill Dumbledore."

"He's so weird," Monlisa sobbed beside Baker Boot's bed. "We saw him with the Death Eaters, and Baker used offensive spells on him. But for some reason, he just ran and had no defense at all, and the spells still all bounced. Even when I was with Ernie When I used Fire Phoenix on him, a silver shield appeared behind him—"

"what?!"

Rui's suddenly amplified voice startled everyone. "What did you say?"

Mon Lisa was stunned: "I said he summoned a silver shield..."

Rey ran away, ignoring the calls of the others.Now she is full of thoughts to find Renata, she wants to ask this demon, she wants to ask what her heart is made of!

"Renata! Renata!"

She yelled as she ran.

"Where are you, Renata!"

"If you're looking for the girl on the Astronomy Tower," a portrait kindly reminded her. "She has returned to her place."

Rui returned to the eighth floor again, she was out of breath, her ribs hurt, and her lungs seemed to be slowly being cut with a blunt knife.The eighth floor was still in ruins, and Gibbon's body was still buried under the masonry.

"Renata!" Rey's voice echoed in the corridor.She ran over the collapsed stone torch, stepped over Gibbon's hand stretched out from under the ruins, turned around the corner where a piece was missing, and stumbled to Renata's portrait. "Renata! Come out, come out!"

Renata was sitting on the swing, watching her intently.

Rye put her hands on her knees and gasped loudly, a bellows whirring in her throat.Whether it was lack of oxygen or shame at being so stupid, she looked up with tears in her round brown eyes.

"You devil," she sobbed loudly. "It's Snape you're protecting, it's Snape you're saving, and it's the traitor you're saving Cedric's life! Spy! Bastard!" She wiped away tears. "And I, I'm an idiot, a fool! I did your bidding and became an accomplice to Snape! You knew he was going to kill Dumbledore, you knew it!"

Pain, guilt, grievance and fear finally came together, knocking Rui down hard.She couldn't accept the fact that Dumbledore was killed by Snape, and she couldn't face the fact that she was an accomplice in the murder.The truth was so heavy that Rae nearly fell to the ground.

"I told you, Wood." Renata looked at her with pity. "No one can change fate. Dumbledore will be killed by Severus, that is fate."

"It's not!" Rui roared angrily. "There are so many opportunities, there are so many possibilities, as long as you are willing to say a word, as long as you are willing to reveal a little bit of information—"

"I said--"

"you have not!"

"I said!"

Renata also suddenly became angry. She jumped off the swing and shouted in an unimaginably sharp voice: "I warned him not to blindly believe in the Deathly Hallows! But the old bee is not! He must go!" Wear that ring! Don't you see? If he doesn't wear the ring, then he won't be cursed, and he won't be weak! What can the potion in the cave do to him? It's him He chose death himself, he chose Severus himself, and this - is - fate!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Rui stood up, forcefully tore off Renata's portrait from the wall, and folded the frame into several sections.But Renata had already jumped into the other portraits, and while running, she said loudly: "He is too stupid, he believes in his own ability too much! Do you think Severus wants to do this? He Neither! It's all Dumbledore's—"

"Broken to pieces!" Rui didn't listen to what Renata was saying at all. At this moment, her mind was full of evil thoughts that turned from embarrassment into anger, and she wanted to "kill" the portrait.

Kill this portrait who keeps playing around with everyone, kill this portrait who uses Cedric's life as an experiment, kill this portrait who lures himself into a trap step by step, and finally makes himself an accomplice!

"Are you crazy?! You are an out-and-out lunatic!" Renata jumped back and forth between the portraits, but Rey's spell followed her and refused to stop. "Even if you destroy all the portraits, it's useless, you still can't change the facts! Don't be serious with fate, Wood! That's impossible!"

"Shut up!" Rui blew up an astronomical map, with a terrifying expression on his face.

"Ha! Then you go and try it! You go and try it!" Renata laughed strangely, and jumped into another painting. "You can fight fate, you can fight death for Fred!"

Ruiyi's raised arms froze, and she asked softly, "What did you say?"

"Fred is going to die." Renata seemed satisfied with Rey's performance. "But I can tell you how to keep him from dying if you—"

The photo frame she was in was suddenly blown to pieces, and Renata appeared in another portrait in a panic, and then she saw Rey standing in front of her like a statue.

"You are crazy!" Renata was still scolding. "It's just a little favor, don't you want to watch Fred die?!"

"He won't die." Rey said coldly. "Maybe in your old world, he would leave me. But in my world, he will never do that."

"I'm dying of laughter, your world—"

"Yes, it's my world." Rui interrupted Renata. "Or, it's our world."

"you--"

"Shut your mouth, Renata!" Rey yelled to stop her. "I don't want to listen to your 'fate theory' anymore! I don't believe in fate, and I don't believe in anything from you so many years later. I only believe in Fred, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Kim Ni, Qiu... I believe in myself, I believe in all of us. Because this world belongs to us, our destiny is our own, and there is no need for you, an outsider, to tell us what to do!"

"I was wrong before, but I won't be wrong again from now on! Just wait and see, no matter what the ending will be in your world, in our world, it will only influence our choices!"

"This is our destiny!"

Rui Yi strode away from the eighth floor, and finally let go of her left hand that had been tightly clenched.The sweat in the palm of the hand gradually evaporated with the circulation of the air, like the tear stains on Ruiyi's face, leaving only shallow, almost unrecognizable traces in the end.

That was her, the symbol of her own destiny that she swore to guard.
