Chapter 330 Severus Snape

Since rescuing Harry from the devil a few months ago, this is the first time Snape has truly revealed his devil - a doe.

At that time, the reason he gave for learning how to be a devil was because he was very dissatisfied with Toby and wanted to kill him.

It wasn't until today that Toby truly saw Snape's determination.

He felt very absurd and ridiculous for a moment.

This was also the first question he blurted out subconsciously.

"So, you haven't given up on killing me, right?"

In front of the furious Snape, Toby involuntarily tightened his grip on the black walnut wand.

"I should have guessed that this was the case."

His tone became very strange: "Devil, not everyone can simply learn to be a devil. You have been taught by others. It was Grindelwald who taught you this magic. No wonder you are hearing him die.

The reaction will be so great in the future. When you heard me say that the Potters might still be alive, you were filled with disbelief. It’s not that you don’t believe that they are still in this world, but because you don’t want me to know this.”

"What did he promise to you, to resurrect Lily?"

Snape had remained silent since his first words, and the atmosphere in the Chamber of Secrets was gradually becoming more and more tense.

At this time, Grindelwald suddenly said: "We can never understand the people we think we know well. That was the case before, and it is still the case now."

"You have guessed wrong. Toby Highmore, Severus Snape is not mine. Speaking of which, I want to thank you for this. It's all because you brought me here and did it for me."

I have found a helper, now let everything end——"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Toby suddenly took action without hesitation, and the spell he threw went straight towards Snape, with an attitude that he was going to blow him to pieces, not even wanting to leave his bones intact.

Snape did not resist, and he finally showed all his trump cards at this moment - letting the deer devil jump into the armor that trapped Grindelwald.

The next second, just the blink of an eye, a huge figure appeared in the hall of the secret room, almost as tall as the statue of Slytherin, covered in pitch black, and the solid black mist dispersed and gathered together, standing between Toby and

Between Snape.

A devil as big as a giant blocked the explosion curse.

"oh?"

Grindelwald, who still couldn't move freely, looked at this scene: "I didn't expect this - the invincible Andros, his ability is so great. I didn't expect it, Toby, this is the devil you have been studying

, but you don’t even know his name.”

Toby raised his head and met his completely transformed collection. The dark magic array under the witch robe shone slightly, and a big hand fell on his shoulder without warning, preventing him from transforming.

The process of becoming a devil.

"Go ahead."

Dumbledore came up and said: "These people have achieved their goal. Go and protect Mason Gate. Toby, leave this to me."

"Don't let them succeed. No matter who these people are."

Toby looked back at Dumbledore, his eyes flashing with solid black light, and then took one last look at Snape from a distance.

"I understand, principal."

——

With a bang, James jumped out of the tree hole of the Whomping Willow with the panicked Harry. At this time, he had returned to his human form, and it seemed that he could not maintain his status as the patron saint of Animagus for a long time.

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer sounded in the darkness behind them, and Al was still chasing after them.

"Get up quickly." James urged Harry, who had weak legs: "Tonight is our last chance. We must not miss this full moon again - work harder, Harry."

When the two of them finally arrived in front of the castle gate, Harry turned his head and glanced behind him. He suddenly felt something strange.

"Why didn't Mr. Al chase after us? Did it drive us into the school on purpose so that Professor Heimer could catch us with his own hands?"

He guessed correctly. Ever since they ran away from the Whomping Willow, Al could no longer hold on. It had long since changed back to its Sniffling appearance, rolled its eyes in exhaustion, and was now in the secret passage.

It lay half-dead, silently waiting for Toby to send it good news.

The two people who escaped first didn't know this. After all, they didn't have a unique patron saint like Al.

"I'll try to convince him."

James tightened his wand and said.

The skeleton of Ignotus is in the Ancient Magic Office. If they want to get it, this is a hurdle that the father and son cannot get around.

While flying up the stairs, Harry was surprised to see the flaming bat suddenly flying over, holding its own invisibility cloak in its mouth.

James took the invisibility cloak and said: "It was originally a reminder I gave to Toby, but it seems that it is no longer needed now."

"No." Harry whispered: "Professor Heimer knew that you had been to the Veil Bar through this flame bat, and he guessed that it was specially given to him."

"No, that's not what I meant." James shook his head and said, "It's useless to just know this. The key lies in the flame bat, but it's not important now. Let's go."

Harry couldn't understand what James meant. He participated in Professor Hemmer's study of the flame bat, but had no idea what was wrong with this animal.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of the door of the ancient magic office in complete silence.

James opened the door cautiously and cautiously. He and Harry were surprised to find that there was no one in the room.

"Looks like I finally got lucky tonight."

James breathed a sigh of relief and said that he walked non-stop to the three skeletons in the room and saw the triangular pattern on the forehead of one of them, which was also the symbol of the invisibility cloak.

"Come here, Harry."

James turned around and said, "Tonight we will discover the secrets left to us by our ancestors."

Harry was still immersed in the shock of not being able to believe that it would go so smoothly. He walked over blankly and saw James placing the invisibility cloak between the two of them and Ignotus's skeleton.

"Summon your devil, only you can help me with this."

Harry did as he was told, and the rune snake with only one head left appeared in front of them, making James marvel for a long time.

The next process was much simpler. Under James's instructions, Harry worked hard to make the rune snake look more like a wizard's robe, its body became larger, and the snake's head covered James' head, and

The process of Toby's transformation into a devil is relatively simple.

Although the method of pretending to be the god of death is a bit clumsy, fortunately this method is still effective.

"Tell me, what is my wish?"

James's voice sounded from under the snake's head, and almost instantly, Harry saw that the scene in front of him had completely changed. This was a scene that he had not witnessed with his own eyes when he and Toby summoned Cadmus last time.

At that time, he closed his eyes at Toby's instruction, but this time he didn't need to, because he was also half a wizard who accomplished this magical ritual.

The skeleton in front of him turned into a living person, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of Harry and James.

"Revenge." Ignotus gave the same answer as the two brothers.

"Now you can tell your wishes." James said, suppressing his excitement.

He was about to learn the secret of his ancestors' victory over death.

Ignotus was about to open his mouth, but something strange seemed to appear on the screen, causing him to turn his head and glance - James and Harry saw the shock in his eyes at the same time.

"We must hide now!"

Ignotus shouted: "Hide somewhere where no one can find you!"

James and Harry were stunned at the same time, but the scene continued. Death seemed to refute Ignotus's wish, because he quickly changed the conditions and said: "Then it's at my expense.

I will never be able to reunite with my family and brothers, as long as they can still live well, but the prerequisite is that they are not allowed to be found by that person - that's fine!"

This wish took effect, and the picture gradually began to disappear.

James felt cold all over.

He never expected that what he saw was the scene of his ancestors running away in panic. This was completely different from what he had imagined.

There is no such thing as a person who has defeated death. The story distorts the real experience and gives him hope that he never had.

Now, hope has been dashed.

Harry also stood there blankly, and a terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Who is that person?"

At this time, a friendly voice sounded from behind the two of them.

"I think, if my guess is correct, Ignotus should be referring to me."

James turned his head suddenly and saw an old man walking out of the cabinet in the corner of the room, looking at them with a smile.

"You've always wanted to see me, James."

Ajinbad, the principal of Wagadu, said gently: "Now you finally got your wish, but why can't you be happy?"

"Is it because of your child?"

He walked over slowly, and even though he didn't make a move, James' arm suddenly shook back, causing his wand to fly out.

James immediately used his other arm to protect Harry tightly behind his back.

"This matter has nothing to do with him!" James said in a panic.

"No." Ajinbad shook his head and said. His movements were very slow, but nothing could stop him.

"Harry Potter is the only Horcrux left after I killed Voldemort. He is very important and is related to whether I can achieve my goal of eternal life. I must take this child away - I see it in your eyes

I’m confused.”

Akinbad turned to look at Harry and said, "You are wondering why I didn't become like Voldemort, because he split his soul so many times that he became distorted."

"As the creator of the Horcrux, I must say that the way he used it was too crude - follow me, child."

Ajinbad—or rather the despicable Herbo, grabbed Harry's arm, and even though he didn't use much force, Harry couldn't even resist.

In James's desperate eyes, the magic ball floated to Herbo's side. He took Harry to the Mason Gate and finally said: "It's time to meet the real Death."

The frightened Harry was led by Helbo into the dark Mason Door. They appeared on the other side of the door and came to the equally dark ancient magic office.

"Who are you? How did you survive until now?"

Harry said in disbelief, all he could do now was ask questions.

"Of course it's because of the Horcruxes."

Haierbo said gently, like a professor teaching students.

"Toby should have told you that you are also a Horcrux. What did he say at first? Is it because of Voldemort? No, you are my Horcrux. I have noticed the flaws of the Horcrux a long time ago.

, compared with dead things, living people have more value, so every once in a while, probably more than two hundred years, I will replace the Horcrux, and it is never too many, which will make me become less

Be like myself again.”

"I don't understand." Harry asked bravely: "Why does it have to be me?"

"It seems you really don't understand."

Haierbo said slowly: "That's not the case, Harry, because you were the only one who met the conditions at that time, a baby. Even I have never tried this. But your father is already dead, he

You have to die like this once, only then can I have the opportunity to take the initiative to bring you here. And your mother, let’s see, we have finally reached the question you are interested in, right?”

"Yes, I can tell you the good news, Harry, your mother is still alive, but no one knows about it - oh, it should be said that there is one person, Severus Snape, he is an unexpected surprise

, you really should have seen the way he cried while hugging his head, it should be very relieving for you - after all, he always likes to embarrass you."

"Snape" Harry murmured in disbelief: "He is also yours. Why."

"Because he loves your mother deeply, that's why he is willing to help me." Haierbo looked at the shock in Harry's eyes with satisfaction: "I really like the feeling of revealing other people's secrets. That is what I have learned in my long life."

There are very few things that can interest people.”

Harry saw Halbo picking up the magic ball and staring at it with great interest.

"You can't use it." Harry said abruptly: "Only Professor Highmore, only he can -"

"But I don't have to use it." Haierbo interrupted: "As long as I have it, it is enough - look back behind you."

Harry turned his head subconsciously, and what he saw almost frightened him.

A monster wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a pharaoh mask on his face was standing quietly in the corner. It stared at the two people who suddenly appeared without saying a word, and its eyes were focused directly on the magic ball.

"This can save us a lot of trouble." Haierbo tossed the magic ball twice and said: "After all, the outside is still out of control, so we must be careful - I mean careful with you, if you die early

That's the real trouble, after all, I didn't prepare any other Horcruxes."

Harry vaguely heard the sound of carriage wheels coming from outside the door.

"Here they come," said Herbo.
