Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

In Malfoy Manor, Voldemort sat at the top of the long table, stroking the wand in his hand as if absentmindedly. "Although it is a confident work by Mr. Ollivander, it is still close. Lucius, has there been any news from Cyrus?"

"Master, according to the time agreed with Lord Cyrus, it will be tonight."

"Haha...Okay...Carlo, then you brothers and sisters will follow Lucius and enter Hogwarts. Dolohov, you and Barty will train the new werewolves together." , it’s been too noisy lately.”

So after the Death Eaters left, Voldemort sat alone in the room, and his low laughter kept coming, which was creepy.

Hogwarts was still peaceful, except for Draco, who was pacing nervously back and forth in the deserted corridors. Just go to the Room of Requirement and open the Vanishing Cabinet at ten past ten, no big deal. Will my father also come with me? What if the mission fails and everyone finds out... It shouldn't be a problem for Cyrus to be here too, but in this case, Dumbledore will really be killed by her. Will other people... also be killed by Death Eaters...

Draco, who was nervous, walked into the cafeteria unconsciously and heard the conversation between Harry and Caddy. He was some distance away from the two of them and could only hear some snippets.

"The person who cursed you..."

"The necklace...the Imperius Curse...Dumbledore...I remember..."

Until Cady's eyes moved to her, Draco's breath took a breath, and she remembered! ? How can it be! It cannot be exposed at this time. After thinking about it, he turned around and left quickly, but Harry, who had always been suspicious of him, followed closely behind.

Draco rushed into the bathroom and stood by the sink, constantly pouring ice water on his face to force himself to calm down.

"It was you who cast the curse on Katie and the others. What else did you do?! What is the mission Voldemort gave you!" Harry walked slowly towards Draco, the wand in his hand already pointed at him.

Several flying stones were thrown from Draco's wand, and Harry hurriedly ducked sideways into the compartment. Draco's actions had confirmed his suspicions, and Harry no longer held back.

Under the mutual attack between the two, the water pipe was broken by the magic spell, leaking water continuously, and the bathroom floor was soon covered with water. Seeing Draco running in front of him about to escape, the anxious Harry cast out a magic spell, "God's Edge is Shadowless!"

The air blade passed directly through the compartment and struck Draco's back at high speed. A figure appeared and knocked down Draco, who was about to be hit. Slughorn fell straight down holding his stomach that was scratched by the curse. Blood flowed out uncontrollably, staining a large area of ​​water under his body red.

"Professor! Professor! How are you! Professor!!!"

Draco hurriedly helped Slughorn up and used his wand to cast the hemostatic spell over and over again, but to no avail. Harry looked at Slughorn in disbelief, his face getting weaker and weaker. He stood there in a daze, and a black shadow directly knocked him away. Snape walked up to Draco and the two of them, and looked solemn when he saw the wound on Slughorn's abdomen. He glanced at Harry who was stunned and quickly pulled out his wand.

Harry, who was shocked by the power of the spell, kept waving his hands, "No...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...Professor Slughorn..."

Snape raised his eyes and glared at Harry who had escaped, but did not immediately go to treat Slughorn.

"Save him quickly!" Draco looked anxiously at Snape, who had been standing in front of him. When he thought Slughorn was about to bleed to death, Snape slowly squatted down.

The obscure and long spell was uttered, and then the wound on Slughorn's abdomen gradually healed. Draco breathed a big sigh of relief and patted Slughorn's face gently, "Professor, Professor, are you okay?"

"Ah...ahem, it's such a dangerous curse." Slughorn coughed a few times and then cast a grateful look at Snape beside him. He looked at Draco again, with a hint of emotion in his tone. Severely, "How can you use such a powerful spell to quarrel between classmates! Mr. Malfoy, come to my office for solitary confinement at night. I will inform Professor McGonagall about Potter."

Cyrus said this on the surface, while thinking about the clues just now in his heart. Although Harry was stopped from using the Shadowless Blade to attack Draco, the sir appeared later than he thought... When he walked into the bathroom just now, he felt the peeping eyes behind him. Fortunately, he didn't use magic. The curse can block the magic edge without a shadow or restore the injury by oneself. He's still testing me...but it's a bit strange for Slughorn to show up to protect Draco.

As he thought about it, the hard touch of the wand appeared on his forehead. Snape's eyes were cold, and the halo between the wand appeared, "I'm sorry, Professor. You can't tell anyone what happened today, just forget it all."

"Professor Snape! No!" Draco tried to take the wand out of Snape's hand, and Snape's tightly pursed lips suddenly curled up in a very shallow arc. The original white halo between the staff turned black, and the curse with a curse passed over Slughorn's growing black hair. When Snape fired the curse again, Slughorn beneath him had disappeared.

Cyrus, who reappeared from the black mist, had completely released his transformation spell. He tsked at Draco with a hint of distress, "If I can't find any clues from myself, how about starting from Draco?" Severus Hey, this will arouse suspicion."

He slowly walked towards Snape, who was stiff, and pressed down the wand in his hand. He put his hands on the man's neck, raised his head and gradually moved closer, stopping when he was about to touch his lips, "When I think about it, it's been a long time since I saw you in your original form. How does it feel to save your enemy with your own hands?"

A push came over him, and Cyrus' eyes moved to the corner of Snape's mouth who was pushing him away. Blood dripping with the smell of potion, Cyrus's smile became even wider, "There is a potion to remove petrification hidden in your mouth... You bring me surprises one after another. But this is really good." Really? We have to take action tonight. If you want to have a direct fight here, I have no problem with it."

A ball of black flame ignited in Cyrus's hand, "But with my fighting style, how many people here will not see the sun tomorrow?"

The conversation with Dumbledore a few days ago gave Snape a headache. He clearly told Dumbledore about Voldemort's plan, and why he had not taken any action yet. Do we really have to wait until the Death Eaters invade the academy? Why is it necessary to die?

"Kate, hurry up! Professor Slughorn is seriously injured, inside!"

Harry's voice and the footsteps of the two people came from outside the door, and the black flames were extinguished instantly. Cyrus smiled and waved to Snape, whose face was extremely dark, "See you tonight, Severus."

Cyrus, who changed his appearance in an instant, turned around and opened the door, just in time to bump into Harry and Harry who hurried in. "Ouch, running in the corridor is prohibited."

"Professor Slughorn, are you okay?! Let Kate see your injury."

"It's okay, but Harry, you get the confinement tonight. Go find Professor McGonagall yourself tonight." Slughorn looked at Snape, who was still holding the wand tightly, "Severus is very He kindly treated me. By the way, Mr. Malfoy, don’t forget to come to my place for confinement at night.”

"I think it's his headmaster's decision how to punish Malfoy!" Snape fiercely dragged Draco out of the bathroom, not forgetting to look back and slash Slughorn before leaving.

"Of course, Lord Dean." Slughorn smiled slightly and gave way.

"Professor, you can't ask Malfoy to leave! He has put a curse on Katie, I promise!" Seeing that Snape was about to take Draco away, Harry had to ask Slughorn for help. Unexpectedly, someone also pulled Harry by the collar, and Kate dragged Harry away angrily.

"I spilled a lot of potions and came here in a hurry. Also, are you that familiar with me? You still call me by my Christian name. Come with me and pay for the potions!"

Slughorn looked at the two people dragging students in front of him and couldn't help but regret, why didn't I bring a camera...

In the early hours of the morning, when the clock rang, the disappearing cabinet in the Room of Requirement was pushed open with a click.

"I thought you would sit in the principal's office and eat dessert." Cyrus walked up to the observatory, his face looking particularly pale against the moonlight.

Dumbledore had his hands behind his back. He had been waiting for Cyrus. "The tooth-strengthening agent you made is very effective. I want to protect my teeth temporarily." His face was gentle, still looking like a kind old man. "Thank you, Cyrus. It must be cruel for Draco to leave such a matter to him."

Cyrus glanced at Dumbledore's body and his eyes darkened. She asked Kate to investigate. Sir was not studying the potion formula given by Cyrus. Perhaps Dumbledore didn't even tell Mr. Dumbledore about the death-suspending potion. He didn't even have a hint of dark magic in his body, let alone wearing any alchemical products.

"Really... But in the long run, as long as his mission is completed, it will be good for him and Malfoy. It will be beneficial."

"This kid is somewhere between black and white."

"Not kind enough, not cruel enough. That's why he can't do anything.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs.

Cyrus walked up to Dumbledore, with black flames already overflowing from his palms, "In this case, let's end this quickly."

"I think the reason why Voldemort asked other Death Eaters to come with him is because he needed them to witness the scene of you killing me. You have been there for so long, and you are still under surveillance. Besides, he also needs Another thing about me.”

"If I want, I can escape surveillance at any time. The Elder Wand is not a problem at all... Even if I regret it now, it won't work."

"I have always failed. No one can save me, and no one can protect me. At least, this is the only thing I can do."

Dumbledore was silent for a long time. He looked at Cyrus, but his deep blue eyes seemed to be looking behind Cyrus. "Now, come and complete your mission."

Before he finished speaking, Cyrus' whole body tensed up instantly, and a green magic spell rushed towards Cyrus' back. She knocked Dumbledore away and they fell aside.

"Alert like a wild animal..." Snape stepped out of the shadows, and cursed smoke filled the surroundings.

When did he start here? ! Cyrus did not feel or see any magical aura other than Dumbledore's when he walked into the observatory. His eyes glanced at the pendant on Snape's chest, an alchemical product that blocked magic and existence! Turning her head to look at Dumbledore, who was taking out a silver lighter from his pocket, Cyrus's pupils trembled. The sense of threat that was more urgent than before made her hurriedly get up and move away.

"Dumbledore, what on earth are you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, a dazzling white light enveloped her. The originally dark sky was covered with a layer of silver light, and the entire observatory suddenly became bright. The walls and stairs are all tinged with illusory light. The originally narrow space was widened ten times, and Hogwarts Castle was gradually dismantled, with bricks floating in the air from time to time. And there were only three of them in the entire space.

"I have never heard that the Deluminator can pull people into other dimensions." Cyrus casually waved a magic spell at the wall next to him, and the fragments of the blown wall flew out in all directions, and quickly returned to their original state. . This space isolates all attacks. The mist that originally surrounded Snape was also isolated... Could it only pull in living beings?

"Are you afraid that I would destroy the castle and harm the students of Hogwarts?"

There was no answer from Dumbledore, his robes rustled in the wind, and the wand in his hand emitted a bright blue light, while Snape's face was expressionless, with cold eyes flashing. The two of them floated up, their figures instantly disappeared into the illusory space, and came to Cyrus.

A sneer sounded, black fire emerged out of thin air, darkness enveloped her, and her entire body disappeared. Dumbledore waved his wand, and a streak of flames streaked across the void, turning into a red phoenix and rushing toward Cyrus, who reappeared in the sky. At the same time, the medicine bottle in Snape's hand emitted a strange light, and a black mist overflowed and flew towards Cyrus. Sharp blades of air struck from all directions. The bricks and tiles of houses floating in the air gathered together, and instantly transformed into a huge giant guard and rushed towards Cyrus.

Cyrus's eyes were flashing with complicated emotions, and the black fire was raging like a violent wind.

"Want to stop me here or kill me? It seems that this battle is unavoidable, but fortunately it is in an isolated space."

Where Cyrus stood, a tide of countless air blades emerged. The streams converged, the tide surged, and huge waterspouts rose into the sky. The giant snake with faint blue flames exposed its fangs and surrounded her body. The hot red flames struck all around, scorching everything in its path. Even the walls that can be restored are much slower to recover. The skeleton Death God wearing black robes and holding a scythe was ignited with black flames. He placed a faintly shiny dagger in front of him, and his red eyes were filled with a dangerous halo. Cyrus's figure became illusory and difficult to distinguish in the eyes of Dumbledore and Dumbledore.

"Since you want to do more, come on."
