Hogwarts God of Ice and Fire

Chapter 699: Neville vs. Nagini

As Voldemort's Horcrux, Nagini follows Voldemort almost all the time and is under his protection.

Only for a few hours in a week did Voldemort allow Nagini to leave Avery Manor and go hunting in the nearby primeval forest, giving her a small amount of free time. This was also Voldemort's preference for Nagini.

After all, even the Death Eaters in Avery Manor were not allowed to leave Avery Manor before Voldemort led them to attack Hogwarts Castle. They were forced to practice methods of plundering star power in preparation for war.

Fortunately, except for the Hufflepuff gold cup, Lynn and Irina destroyed Voldemort's other Horcruxes in secret, and Voldemort was not aware that all his Horcruxes had been destroyed except for Nagini and Harry Potter, who even he himself did not know.

Voldemort naively thought that the only Horcrux he had discovered was a Hufflepuff gold cup.

Otherwise, Voldemort would never have allowed Nagini to leave Avery Manor, giving Lynn the opportunity to take advantage of her.

A week after Harry got his memory from Slughorn, Lynn captured Nagini in a primeval forest fifteen kilometers away from Avery Manor, and after temporarily controlling it with a full-body binding spell, she used Apparition to bring it to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

In fact, if Lynn was willing to conduct a thorough search, he might be able to discover Nagini's location through him, and then follow the clues to find the coordinates of Avery Manor. After all, Avery Manor was not protected by the Fidelius Charm.

But that would take too much time, and besides, he couldn't actually kill Voldemort until all the Horcruxes were destroyed, so there was no need for him to do that.

"Irina, go get Neville."

Lin En landed on the ground, cast a few full-body binding spells at Nagini on the ground, and then spoke to Irina who had been waiting for a long time.

Irina nodded slightly and threw a sword over. It was the Sword of Gryffindor.

Ever since Lynn and Irina pulled the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat when they killed the basilisk, the Sword of Gryffindor has been kept in the headmaster's office.

It was not until Lynn discovered Nagini's whereabouts and was about to kidnap her that Irina went to the headmaster's office and borrowed the Sword of Gryffindor from Dumbledore for Neville to use when completing the assessment.

Lynn took the Gryffindor Sword. He glanced at Nagini who was lying on the ground unable to move. With a wave of his wand, an illusion array was created with Nagini's position as the center.

Of course, this is not a complete illusion. It does not give the person who enters the array a complete illusion, but changes the person's cognition, just like twisting the giant snake Nagini in front of him into the appearance of a giant snake that originally existed in the Forbidden Forest.

This is also to make the appearance of Nagini in Neville's eyes more reasonable.

Lynn flipped his left hand, and an alchemical detector appeared in his hand. Under the scan of the alchemical detector, the data of the Gryffindor Sword and Nagini were all entered into the illusion array.

When Neville walks into the illusion, Nagini in his eyes will turn into another giant poisonous snake, and the Sword of Gryffindor in his eyes will turn into the same silver sword as the one he had experienced in the illusion test.

About fifteen minutes later, Neville, led by Irina, came over with some trepidation.

"Come on, Neville," Lynn waved to Neville calmly and said, "I guess Irina has told you what happened?"

Neville nodded a little nervously and said, "Well, Irina said that you plan to choose me as the successor of the DA Army, but...can I really do it?"

Lin En smiled and said, "Believe in yourself. Of course you can do it. Come forward, Neville. Just like you did in the illusion test in the past six months, use the silver sword in your hand to kill the big snake. This is your test."

Neville looked towards the center of the illusion, at the giant snake that couldn't move.

Neville wiped the sweat from his palms, nodded vigorously, and stepped into the illusion array.

Neville's mind was filled with what Lynn and Irina had said about the assessment that would allow him to become the successor of the DA Army, but he did not notice that he could still see the giant snake outside the illusion even though he had not yet stepped into the illusion.

The moment Neville stepped into the illusion, everything in front of him changed.

Under the cognitive modification of the illusion array and the alchemical detector, Neville felt as if he was in a huge arena, and a huge, patterned venomous snake was lurking not far from him.

Outside the illusion, Lynn threw the Gryffindor sword in his hand, causing it to stick into the soil at Neville's feet.

In the illusion, Neville only saw a silver sword appear out of thin air and inserted at his feet. He pulled out the silver sword and looked at the big snake in the distance with a look full of fighting spirit.

"The curse stops immediately!"

Outside the illusion array, Lynn gently shook the wand in his hand, removing the full-body binding spell on Nagini.

After the restraints were released, Nagini immediately showed its ferocity. Its thick and long snake body suddenly sprang out and rushed straight towards Neville's face.

Neville subconsciously dodged to the side, avoiding Nagini's rebound and swung his sword at Nagini's vital point.

The threat of death made Nagini the whole snake nervous. It twisted its body in the air, trying to avoid Neville's sword of Gryffindor, but Neville's sword of Gryffindor followed the twisting of Nagini's body and kept changing the angle of the sword!

In the end, the Gryffindor sword grazed Nagini's vital point. Although it did not hit Nagini directly, it left a nearly one-meter-long cut on its snake body!

Scarlet blood splashed out, staining the soil of the Forbidden Forest red. The sudden pain made Nagini roar in agony, and the murderous intent in her eyes became even more intense.

Nagini was afraid of the sword of Gryffindor in Neville's hand, so she did not dare to get close to Neville for a while.

But this does not mean that Nagini has no other means of attack.

It opened its mouth wide and a ball of smelly snake venom spurted out directly from its mouth, heading straight for Nawei's face.

Under the cognitive modification of the illusion array, the ball of venom turned into a dark purple horrible liquid in Neville's vision, which made Neville roll two or three times in a row. After avoiding the ball of liquid, he looked at Nagini in the distance in shock.

Nagini spit out venom several times in succession, but Neville dodged it all. Looking at the figure holding the Gryffindor sword approaching her, Nagini had no choice but to pounce and bite Neville.
