HP: The New God from Hogwarts
Chapter 125 I think he can save one more time
Newt and Sprout watched as the swans in front of them turned into bits of bright white light and disappeared into the night wind and snow.
They looked at each other, immediately put back the mandrake they were studying, picked up their wands and headed to the castle.
The moment before Cedric's green light hit him, he was thinking that he should let the Patronus Charm go to see Luna on his behalf, but he couldn't do that. He had to inform the professors and couldn't let that villain in Hog. Woz wreaked havoc.
When he left the principal's office and returned to the stairs on the fourth floor, he had already made up his mind. He used his flesh and blood to drag down little Barty to buy precious time for the professors to arrive.
The moment the green light hit him, he was still rejoicing. Fortunately!
Fortunately, little Barty met him who was not Luna. Fortunately, the first-grade child escaped. Fortunately, he bought time and the swan found Professor Scamander.
When Newt and Professor Sprout arrived at the third floor corridor, it was quiet except for Cedric lying lifeless on the floor.
The window in the corridor on the third floor opened a small crack, and the cold wind carrying ice and snow poured in from the outside, blowing the hem of the boy's windbreaker, the yellow Hufflepuff scarf flying up and down, his gray eyes widened, The pupils have dilated, lost their sparkle, and no longer shine with gentle light.
A teardrop slipped from the corner of his eye, and was blown away by the cold wind before it could reach his temples, evaporating in the cold air.
He held a lemon candy in his hand. Perhaps he was holding it too tightly. The candy had melted and deformed, leaving some bright yellow sticky candy stains in his palm. The sweet and sour taste was a bit bitter tonight.
"Sed!" Professor Sprout immediately rushed to his side, knelt on the ground and helped him up.
Newt squatted next to him, checked his body, and shook his head heavily at Professor Sprout: "He is already dead."
"Who on earth is this person? He killed this child so cruelly!" Professor Sprout's eyes were red, and the kind witch said this through gritted teeth.
"It's the Death Curse." Newt put his wand against Cedric's missing heart and detected the cause of his death.
The wind made a sharp whistle through the small crack in the window. Newt's eyes fell gently on that crack: "Someone sneaked into Hogwarts."
……
Momo walked to the basement with the diary in her arms, heading towards the fork in the Slytherin dormitory. Snape seemed to be standing there with Draco and Theodore, talking about something.
A panicked Slytherin girl bumped into her from behind. Without apologizing or looking back, she ran anxiously in the direction of Snape.
The girl pushed aside Draco and Theodore, grabbed the long hem of Snape's clothes, and cried out of breath: "Someone... a bad person ran into... Hogwarts, in... On the third floor, Senior Diggory...in order for me to escape..."
Snape recognized the girl as Edith Selwyn, a child of the Selwyn family, a first-year Slytherin pure-blood family.
"What do you think happened to Cedric?" Taowu had already walked behind Edith and pulled her arm.
Edith tried to calm herself down. One more second of panic meant another second of delay for Senior Diggory to be rescued.
The iconic silver hair and blue eyes made Edith immediately realize that the person holding her was the Hufflepuff senior Luna who Pansy had said was very difficult to mess with.
"Senior Luna, it's too late! Go to the third floor of the castle with Professor Snape to rescue Senior Diggory!"
Snape didn't hesitate at all. He glanced at Taowu and said, "Go over first and then talk."
Draco and Theodore also looked at each other and quickly followed them.
"Luna." Newt saw Taowu and shook his head at her, "We are all late."
Draco looked at Cedric, who was lying there motionless. The person who had been sitting with him in Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse in the morning was now lying here like a cold corpse. He couldn't control his hands. Live trembling.
This was the first time he truly faced death.
Edith's face turned pale. When she left, she had already guessed the outcome that Cedric would face, but she still felt lucky that maybe she would be able to call Professor Snape in time to save him.
"Cause of death?" Snape gathered his clothes and walked to Newt's side, frowning and looking at Cedric.
Newt answered him with a solemn expression: "Avada Kedavra kills with one blow."
There were soft sobs coming from behind Snape. The little girl pulled on the hem of her dean's clothes, her eyes were red, her face showed guilt and sadness, and she fell into deep self-blame.
But even if it happened again, she would still make the same choice because she really didn't dare to face such a murderer.
The old bat gently pulled on his clothes and tried to pull the hem back, but the girl's hands firmly grasped his clothes. He glanced at the girl crying, sighed and let her pull the hem of his clothes.
"Edith, tell me what happened at that time?"
The girl sniffed: "I heard my seniors talking about Boggarts, so I thought about sneaking into Professor Lupin's office to take a look, but..."
She pointed to the stairs: "Right there, Senior Diggory fell down. He seemed to be seriously injured. He told me to run quickly. I guessed there must be something terrible in there. I was so scared. I turned around and ran away..."
The more Edith spoke, the more she felt guilty, and tears flowed down like tap water. Momo was surprised that Slytherin could raise such a child with a strong sense of morality.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with her approach. She immediately made correct assumptions and judgments about her senior's instructions, quickly executed them, and found Snape, the strongest combat power she could find, in the shortest time.
If she stayed forcibly, it would be nothing more than a double kill.
Momo looked at Cedric's bloodless face, and she knew that this was done by Barty Jr. When he left Hogwarts, he bumped into Cedric here.
She walked to Cedric's right side and said to Professor Sprout: "Professor, please give way."
Professor Sprout knew that she usually had a good relationship with Cedric. He held her hand and shook his head at her with tears in his eyes: "Luna, don't be too sad."
Professor Sprout gave up the seat on Cedric's right, and Momo was squatting there. She noticed that everyone except Snape was looking at her with worried eyes.
Are you afraid that you will be too sad?
She unbuttoned Cedric's coat and shirt, exposing his chest.
"I think he can still save a little more."
