Esther didn't rest long before joining the rescue team.

The number of people who died in this war was greatly reduced compared to the original work, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

Draco did not follow him. He had a special status. Even though he had just followed David and the others to fight in the Astronomy Tower, most people did not trust him, or did not trust a Slytherin, so he did not understand. Come join in the fun.

The potions prepared by Esther, except for those used on Professor Snape and a few bottles she accidentally broke, were all used for the injured.

Even though Esther had strictly prevented underage students from leaving before the war started, there were still some who sneaked over, and most of them were Gryffindors.

To be honest, it was both unexpected and reasonable for Gryffindor to sneak over, but she could only sigh when she saw their injured and painful looks.

"Take a rest." Qiu saw her face turned pale when facing these injuries and said, "There was also a hint of tiredness in her tone, but more of numbness.

Esther looked at her, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

At this moment, Dumbledore walked into the auditorium, causing a wave of excitement in an instant. Everyone stood up and looked at him.

He walked towards the corpses first, with a sad look on his face.

"Albus!"

Professor McGonagall and the other Order members who were still able to move had gathered around him.

"Bless Merlin! You have made such a big joke on us!"

Professor McGonagall almost cried.

Dumbledore smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I came a little late."

"It's not too late! Voldemort doesn't know yet that you're not dead!" Sirius said excitedly. After he finished speaking, he asked, "Where's Harry? Let's discuss how to fight Voldemort later."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, the expression on Sirius' face froze, and a bad guess spread in his heart: "Where is Harry?"

he asked again.

"he's gone."

Dumbledore replied calmly.

"Where are you going?"

"Forbidden Forest."

SiriusXin immediately turned around to look for Harry, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Let me go! I'm going to the Forbidden Forest! To stop Harry from dying!"

Sirius stared at Dumbledore angrily: "Why did you let him die? Obviously we are all here! We are all here!"

Everyone else also looked unbearably worried.

"If I could kill Voldemort, I would have killed him a long time ago and would not let this war happen. But I can't kill him, and you can't kill him either."

Dumbledore was still calm. The conflict between them attracted more people to watch. Neville whispered with a stunned look on his face: "I...I just met Harry. He was wearing an invisibility cloak and told me that he had something else." Things needed to be done, and he told me to kill the big snake next to Voldemort when I had the chance, but I naively believed him when he said he was not going to find Voldemort!"

Ginny looked at Neville who looked remorseful and couldn't help but shed tears.

She stood on the periphery of the crowd, heard Neville say these words, and was about to turn around and sneak away, but fortunately Esther noticed and caught her.

"After listening to Dumbledore's words, maybe things will turn around?"

she advised.

"But how can Harry be Voldemort's opponent? This is simply going to die!"

Ginny almost collapsed. She looked at Esther's calm expression and suddenly reacted. Like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, she asked: "Esther, do you know something? I feel like I know It’s as if Dumbledore is not dead at all, is this part of your plan?”

Esther nodded and said to her: "Continue to listen to what Dumbledore has to say."

Sirius was still talking angrily to Dumbledore over there, and Dumbledore said to him: "Do you remember that prophecy?"

Kingsley on the side was the first to tell the content of the prophecy. This prophecy was familiar to wizards and everyone present had heard it.

"so what?"

Sirius still asked.

"This is actually just the first half of the prophecy, and there is also the second half. Voldemort has been wondering what the second half is about all these years, so he designed Harry to break into the mysterious office. Fortunately, he didn't get the prophecy. ball, so he never knew what the second half was about.”

Having said this, Dumbledore glanced at Esther, who smiled back.

"What's in the second half?"

Now not only Sirius was curious, but everyone was curious.

"He who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord walks in

Born into a family that had resisted him three times

Born at the end of July

The Dark Lord would mark him as his nemesis

But he will have powers unknown to the Dark Lord

One of them will die at the hand of the other

Because two people cannot both live.”

Dumbledore read out the complete prophecy word for word, and the second half of the prophecy made everyone present change their expressions.

"One of them will die by the other's hand..."

Sirius repeated desperately: "What kind of broken prophecy is this? Doesn't it mean that Harry is going to die? He is only seventeen years old, how can he be Voldemort's opponent?"

"Oh, Albus." Professor McGonagall's voice was trembling: "I think you must have taken a foolproof plan, right? Just make sure that Harry can defeat Voldemort and win, and then let it pass with confidence, right?"

Dumbledore said: "I did make a lot of preparations. I faked my death earlier just for this day. Even from the beginning, I never thought about surviving. Someone saved me... This is another matter."

After he said this, everyone who was worried at first felt a little relieved. Since so many preparations had been made, Harry should be fine.

"But, I'm sorry."

Dumbledore's next words deeply lifted the hearts of everyone who had just let go.

"I'm sorry, in my plans Harry had to die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly solidified.

Everyone seemed to be petrified by the petrification spell, and their expressions were distorted and stagnant. After about a few seconds, Sirius found his voice and asked in disbelief: "Why? Why does Harry have to die? You planned this?" For a long time, is it just to let Harry die?"

"Yes." Dumbledore glanced in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Harry should have arrived at the Forbidden Forest.

"There's a saying that means risking your life to survive. The next thing we have to do is wait for the news of Harry's death. This is related to whether we can successfully defeat Voldemort in the end."

……

On the other side, Harry had entered the Forbidden Forest as Dumbledore expected.

He took out the resurrection stone and went to die calmly accompanied by his parents.

In a daze, he suddenly thought of what Esther said long ago when she joked with them that she could read palms:

[But Harry, you have to remember that fate will never be merciful to a person. From the moment you are chosen, the gears of fate have already turned. Don’t be afraid of death, and don’t dwell on the pain. Reunion and separation are always the same. It is eternal and changes in cycles. 】

Thinking about it now, I always feel that Esther at that time seemed to have seen through all the time and saw the final scene of him walking on this road with a determination to die.

He suddenly realized that those words were not addressed to the thirteen-year-old him, but to him at this moment.
