Chapter 452 Snape, bad - no, not like that

Harry looked at the figure that flew upside down with a complicated expression. He felt that his body was stiff. It wasn't a magic spell, but it was born to make him unable to move.Tom had also crawled away at some point, leaving Harry alone on the stairs.

"Get out of here, quickly!" said Snape.

He grabbed the back of Draco's neck and shoved him out the door first.The rest of the Death Eaters followed, panting with excitement.When they disappeared through the door, Harry realized he could move again.It wasn't magic that made him slump against the wall in a daze, but fear and shock, and a tinge of mixed emotions.

Hera had undoubtedly lied to him for a long time, whether it was about Dumbledore or the last year, but now he was dying in front of Harry.

Sadness overshadowed all anger, driving Harry down the dark stairs.

This emotion is tearing at Harry's heart. He has to find Hera, he has to catch Snape, he has to kill Bellatrix. Somehow these things are connected. If these two things are done, maybe everything will be reversed, and Hera will not die.
He just thought about it.

Harry leaped across the spiral corridor, stopped when he landed, and raised his wand.Dim lights illuminated the dusty hallway, as if half the roof had collapsed.A fierce battle was going on in front of him, and he was trying to figure out who was fighting whom, when suddenly he heard the voice that made him hate shout: "It's over, it's time to go!"

Snape disappeared around the far corner of the corridor, and he and Draco rushed out seemingly unharmed.Harry chased after him, but a green light flashed suddenly, he had no choice but to jump aside to avoid it, and then rushed towards the crowd of scuffles desperately. He seemed to have stepped on something soft and slippery. He stumbled and saw two bodies lying face down in a pool of blood, but he didn't have time to take a closer look at who they were.But he saw the red hair dancing like flames, it was Ginny who was fighting the burly Death Eaters.The Death Eater kept casting spells at her, and she dodged left and right, and he laughed, "Crucio — Cruciatus — you can't keep bouncing around forever, baby —"

"There are obstacles!" Harry yelled.

His spell hit the Death Eater's chest, and with a howl like a hog, he flew up, hit the opposite wall, and slid down, out of sight, because Ron, Professor McGonagall, and Lupine were each fighting a Death Eater over there.A little further away, Tonks was fighting a huge blond wizard. The wizard's spells flew around and bounced off the walls, cracking stones and shattering windows...

"Harry, where are you from?" Ginny called, but Harry didn't have time to answer her.Head down, he sprinted forward, narrowly dodging an explosion overhead that sent a shower of debris.

"Over there!" shouted Professor McGonagall, and Harry caught a glimpse of a female Death Eater running down the corridor with her headgear in both hands, followed by a fellow.Harry tried his best to chase after him, but he tripped over something and fell down. He found himself lying on someone's lap. When he turned his head, he saw a pale Neville lying on the ground.

"Neville, you—?"

"I'm fine," Neville muttered, clutching his stomach tightly, "Harry... Snape and Malfoy... ran away..."

"I know, I'm chasing them!" said Harry, casting a spell on the ground at a large, blond Death Eater who was causing the most chaos, and hit him in the face, and he let out a snarl of pain, turned around and wobbled twice, struggling to escape after the Death Eater.

Harry got up from the ground and ran forward along the corridor, ignoring the sound of ping-pong-pong fighting behind him, the shouts of others telling him to go back, and the faint cries of people lying on the ground, lifeless...

He stopped at the corner, his sneakers slipped on the blood, and Snape was nowhere to be seen.Harry chased all the way out of the foyer and rushed into the dark field outside. He vaguely saw three figures running on the lawn. From the appearance, they were Bellatrix, and Snape and Malfoy were running behind.

As long as they've been running for a few minutes, they've left Hogwarts grounds and they can Apparate.
Harry gave chase, the cool night air tearing at his lungs.He suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him reflecting the outlines of the three people. He didn't know where the light came from, but he continued to chase wildly, and couldn't reach them and aimed at them and fired a spell——

With a loud explosion, a flying orange fireball flew in all directions, and Hagrid's cabin caught fire.

"Faggy's still in there, you demons—!" Hagrid snarled.He tried to fight Bellatrix, but the Death Eaters from behind had caught up, and they tangled with Hagrid, who defiantly ignored their spells, though it hurt him, but the anger drove him to pump his fists, and it took almost a few punches to bring down a Death Eater.

However, this gave Harry a chance to catch up with the man in front, and it seemed that Bellatrix was very interested in Hagrid.

"Crucio—" Harry shouted, pointing at the figure in front of him.But Snape blocked his spell, and Harry could see him sneering.

"Stop using the Unforgivable Curse, Potter!" Snape yelled amidst Hagrid's rage, the blazing fire, "You don't have the guts and the ability--"

"Quick ban—" Harry roared, he didn't understand why Snape stopped him, it was clear that he and Hera were good friends once, and Hera obviously trusted him so much.

Snape flicked away his spell lazily.

"Fight back!" Harry screamed at him, "Fight back! You betrayed Hera, you coward, you—"

"Coward, do you mean me, Potter?" Snape growled. "Your father never attacked me except four against one. I wonder what you'd call him?"

"Swoon-"

"Blocked again, blocked again." Snape sneered sarcastically, "I never betrayed Hera, my allegiance is only to the Lord Dark Lord from the beginning to the end." He broke Harry's spell again, and shouted at Bellatrix who was playing with Hagrid, "It's time to go, don't let the Ministry of Magic find us—"

"The obstacle is heavy—"

But before the spell could be finished, there was a sudden sharp pain, and Harry fell to his knees on the grass.All he could hear was Bellatrix's frantic screams.

"Let me kill him, let me kill him, and my lord will reward me!" Bellatrix's scream pierced Harry's head like a needle, which made him have a splitting headache.

"No," snapped Snape, slapping the wand roughly out of Bellatrix's hands, and he yelled, "Did you forget your order? Potter belongs to the Dark Lord - let's leave him alone! Go! Go!"

Bellatrix curled her lips, bent down to pick up her wand, and reluctantly followed Snape towards the school gate.

Harry struggled to raise his head, he felt that it almost used up all his strength, he let out a cry of anger, regardless of his own life, he stood up again with his fingers on the grass, and staggered towards Snape.

"Shen Feng Wu—"

Snape flicked his wand and the spell was swept aside again, but now Harry was only a few steps away from Snape and could finally see Snape's face clearly.Snape stopped sneering or sneering, a face full of anger reflected in the flickering firelight.Harry was trying to say a spell with all his might, but he had run out of strength.

"How dare you use my spells on me, Potter? I invented them - me, the Half-Blood Prince! You're going to use my inventions on me? Like your filthy father, aren't you? I say no. No!"

Snape raised his wand, just when Harry thought he would use the Unforgivable Curse and closed his eyes in despair, he heard Snape continue to speak: "I will not kill you, my revenge on your father will not end so easily, Potter, live with hatred. Remember us you hate."

He lashed the air violently with the arm that held his wand, while an invisible hand whipped Harry's face like a whip, and Harry fell to the ground with a thud, starry eyes.

When Harry woke up, Snape had long since disappeared, and Hagrid's cabin was still burning. Hagrid passed out on the grass next to him, holding Fang in his arms, and they passed out together.

Harry struggled to his feet, stumbling around for his wand, hoping to continue the pursuit, but Professor McGonagall, who rushed out of the castle, shattered his illusion.

"Potter, it's great to see you're fine." Professor McGonagall said with a sad face, "Our loss tonight is a bit too great."

"Professor, it's Snape and Malfoy! They let the Death Eaters into the school, giving that lunatic Bellatrix a chance to kill Hera!" Harry didn't know where the power came from, and he shouted loudly, "They planned to let Malfoy do it, but he didn't dare!"

"Potter, I know what happened to Hera made you very sad, but you can't slander a professor who fought hard tonight." Professor McGonagall didn't take Harry's rudeness to heart, and she spoke with a choked voice, which made Harry feel cold. "Professor Snape is wounded, he was shot by Death Eaters to save me."

"How is that possible!?" Harry said incredulously, "I saw him clearly—yes, Hagrid! Hagrid must have seen it just now, we were fighting them!"

"Resuscitate quickly!" Professor McGonagall also noticed Hagrid lying on the grass beside him, and quickly took out his wand and pointed it at Hagrid.

Hagrid stumbled to his feet, holding Fang in his arms, his face was black and gray, and there was a deep gash under his eye, the blood was still flowing, and the gash was swelling rapidly.

"Hagrid, what's the loss here?" Professor McGonagall asked, she kept wiping her tears with her hands, but she still couldn't stop, as long as she closed her eyes, she could see everything that broke her heart under the castle.

"It's not too bad," Hagrid said, looking back at the fire spreading into the vegetable garden. "It's not too bad, just lost a few Bowtruckles. We've got Hera, don't we? He'll take care of everything, I trust him."

"Hagrid Hagrid" Professor McGonagall wanted to continue speaking several times, but was interrupted by the surging emotion in his chest.

"He" Harry cleared his throat, though his head was buzzing with pain too.

"What the hell happened, Harry, Professor McGonagall? I saw those Death Eaters run down from the castle and set my house on fire." Hagrid said in a panic. He realized that something extremely bad had happened, but he couldn't figure out the situation now.

"It was Bellatrix, she killed it." Harry said slowly, his throat dry with shock and smoke, "Hagrid, she killed it."

"Hera." Professor McGonagall pronounced the name and let out a mournful cry. She was in a trance and almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Hagrid helped her in time.

Hagrid stared blankly at Professor McGonagall, the small piece of face exposed between the hairs was dazed, Fang in his arms slipped to the grass, and he didn't notice.

"Hera, Minerva?" Hagrid asked again in disbelief, he couldn't believe his ears.

"He's dead, the Death Eaters killed him," said Harry in a low voice, hanging his head.

"We lost again." Hagrid collapsed on the grass, but thanks to his height, he was still able to support Professor McGonagall, who had passed out.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Harry looked up.

It's Snape!

"You bastard!" Harry roared angrily, and was about to pull out his wand and aim it at Snape who came to the door. "Swoon-"

"Enough, Potter!" Professor McGonagall yelled, and she had already stabilized her body. "How long are you going to make trouble?"

Snape approached, his face was indifferent as usual, but the robe on his chest was torn in a large piece, dried blood was clotted on it, the right sleeve was missing, and it was still dripping blood.

"What's going on here?" Snape said coldly, "Minerva, we'd better go back to the castle, the Death Eaters are probably hiding in the castle, we have to check it out."

Professor McGonagall nodded sadly, her tears were like broken pearls, she rubbed her face vigorously with her cuff, and followed behind Snape.She seemed to have thought of something again, turned around and said to Harry:

"You'd better stop talking about those unrealistic fantasies, Professor Snape and I are tired tonight."

"But he obviously—" Harry had just finished speaking, before Snape and Professor McGonagall left in a hurry.

"What are you trying to say, Harry?" Hagrid sat there, staring blankly in the direction of the castle.

Harry put his hands down, looked at the figure running towards the castle, and asked, "You saw that, didn't you, Snape was with the Death Eaters, and they escaped."
