HP Polar Night

Snape knew he was doomed this time.

At that moment, many images flashed through his mind, the little monsters in the Potions class, Dumbledore's pink bow, the long table in the Hogwarts auditorium, the confrontation with the foursome when he was young, and Lily. The break with the Sorting Hat, the decision the Sorting Hat made to him, the night when he took the express train to the castle, the flower that came back to life in Lily's palm that afternoon...

He said calmly: "Master, I don't know..."

It's a pity that Voldemort has already given the final definition of this matter: "I understand your concerns, Severus. But I also believe that you are willing to dedicate everything to our cause, just like what you said when you took the oath, Isn't it?"

Snape kept his eyes fixed on the ground, he understood his current situation and what he was about to face.He has no allies, it has been like this since a long time ago, one step behind is the abyss, and behind him, there is no one.

Agares watched this scene quietly, and he knew what was going to happen. After all, his glance almost put a very heavy stake on Severus Snape's death.

This person was too sensitive, dealing with the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, and gaining the trust of the leaders of the black and white camps. There was no doubt that Snape himself was outstanding.

Especially when Agares indirectly proved through Harry that Snape was still working for the Order of the Phoenix, he was even more determined to get rid of the other party.Voldemort must die, and victory will go to all who are on the right side.Agares has planned for so long and paid so much, and he will never allow anyone to compete with him for the label of "double agent" and "bear the burden of humiliation".

Snape, not alive.

Voldemort released Nagini who was locked in a magic cage, and the white snake opened its fangs and bit Snape fiercely on the neck.He clutched his neck, deep red blood flowing from his fingers.He fell on his back, dropping his wand to the ground.Voldemort led Nagini towards the castle without looking back.

Agares didn't move, he lowered his head, his eyes fell on Snape's face.

"Take...give...he..." He pursed his lips.

A silver-blue substance emerged from his eyes, mouth, and ears.

Agares knew what it was.

He stood where he was, still not moving.

Snape looked at him, his face growing paler, his prominent eyes deepening.

"To...he...to...Pot..."

Finally, Agares smiled and raised the corners of his lips: "Okay, Professor." He raised his wand and collected the silver-blue things in the crystal bottle.

Snape finally looked at the sky, there were no stars tonight, the night was dark, and people were far away.

Agares didn't put down his wand for a long time, hesitation flashed in his eyes.

But there was not much time left for him to contemplate, and he must rush to Voldemort's side as soon as possible to avoid being suspected.

He said a spell to Snape, long notes, and he had to be very focused.

After the spell was finished, he put down his wand and left the scene.

Snape was lying alone on the ground, his eyes had lost their luster.

The Death Eaters failed to break through the defense circle of the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors. Similarly, the Light camp was unable to repel the opponent, and the two sides remained stalemate at the periphery of Hogwarts for a long time.

But everyone knows that this stalemate will not last long.

At this time, Voldemort made a request for Harry Potter to fight a duel with him. If Harry won, he would let the Death Eaters leave.Although Voldemort didn't say what would happen if he won, it was clear that this would be the moment when darkness would fully invade the wizarding world.

This request was naturally rejected by Sirius emotionally. He would rather face Voldemort himself a hundred times than let Harry go out to face even a Death Eater.

Within the short time limit given by Voldemort, the two sides entered into a temporary truce.

Harry naturally also heard Voldemort's arrogant declaration of war. He squeezed the wand tightly in his hand, wanting to go out and fight Voldemort.But no matter who it is, it is impossible to let him go out to fight.Harry, who was in a bad mood, sat alone in the corner and refused to communicate. Hermione considerately left him space and pushed the others to another long table.

But it didn't take long for Hermione, with a tense expression, to walk back to Harry with a familiar piece of parchment.

"Harry." She subconsciously lowered her voice and unfolded the parchment.

At a glance, he saw the name of the person who shouldn't be here: Agareth Black.

"He's in the headmaster's office!" Harry stood up abruptly.

The movement here attracted the attention of other people in the hall.

Hermione sat him back down by pressing his shoulders. "Should I tell Sirius?"

Agares, who has been confirmed as a Death Eater, appeared in the principal's office at such a sensitive time, it was hard not to doubt his intentions.Harry was troubled.

"Talk to Professor Lupine, let's go together and see what he's going to do." Harry quickly came to a decision.Indeed, compared to the angry and disappointed Sirius, Remus Lupine will be more rational and calm when facing Agares.

Hermione also thought this was a better choice.

A few minutes later, Professor Lupine left the hall with Harry and Hermione, and Ron who must follow.

Agares obtained Voldemort's consent and returned to the castle on the grounds of sneaking into Hogwarts to inquire about inside information and the operations of the Order of the Phoenix to determine whether Harry Potter was still in the castle.

His route was very direct. Under the effect of the illusion spell, he bypassed all the security guards and went straight to the principal's office on the eighth floor.

He had to confirm whether the memory obtained from Snape was beneficial to him before deciding whether to give it to Harry according to Snape's last wish.If he hadn't graduated, he would have kept a pensieve in the Slytherin dorm before, after all, he usually has the habit of extracting memories and retrieving everything.

It's a pity that his Pensieve is not here now, and the only one that can be used is the one in the principal's office.

After easily confusing the gargoyle at the door and entering the principal's office, Agares went straight to the Pensieve.The phoenix Fox on the shelf has undergone another Nirvana shortly after the death of its owner, Dumbledore, and is like a baby bird at this moment.Even though Fox gave a shrill warning to Agares's invasion, there was no threat under Agares' spell.

Agares locked the door, placed a few forbidden spells, and then took out Snape's memory and poured it into the Pensieve.

Not long after he entered the memory, Hermione found his trail through the Marauder's Map, and soon rushed to the eighth floor with Harry and the others.

When they broke through the restriction and entered the principal's office, it happened that Agares had just left from memory.He was hit squarely by Harry's Disarming Charm, and the wand in his hand flew upside down, hitting Fox's shelf.

"Agareth's wand is flying!" Harry's fighting consciousness was already very strong, and Lupine couldn't react to a series of spells. Lost his wand.

Such a scene surprised Agares.

Even after subduing Agares, when Harry faced him, his eyes still shifted and he didn't say a word.

So it was Lupine who asked the question.

When asked about the reason for his visit, Agares was silent for a moment, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he returned to calm in an instant.

"Severus Snape is dead," he said.

The news came as a surprise to others.

Before they could ask more, Agares said again: "The Dark Lord confirmed that Snape was the one who killed Dumbledore."

Even Ron couldn't help showing a look of hatred, and Harry gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to kill Snape, the murderer.

"As for the truth, I think you will know after reading this memory."

The pensieve on the side is like a Pandora's box, tempting others to open it and release some unbearable evils.

Lupine had doubts about this, and Ron firmly believed that he could not listen to a word from the Death Eaters. On the contrary, Hermione always believed that Agares did not really join the Death Eaters camp.

"Harry, don't trust him." Seeing that his friend seemed to want to see the contents of the Pensieve with his own eyes, Ron quickly grabbed him.While stopping, he glared fiercely at Agares.

"I need to know the truth..." Somehow, Harry felt that he had to look at the contents of the Pensieve.It was a very wonderful feeling, like an obsession projected through time and space.

At Harry's insistence, no one else could dissuade him.So it was finally decided that Professor Lupine would enter the Pensieve with Harry, while Ron and Hermione would guard Agares.

Agares was still bound by the magic rope and sat on the ground. He looked a little embarrassed. After all, since he knew him, this man has always been a model of Slytherin etiquette.Take it easy and do a job with ease.

Hermione didn't think it was necessary for him to go to Voldemort and become a Death Eater.

No matter in terms of Agares' life experience, his relationship with Harry, or even his own excellence, the status of a Death Eater can only be a burden to Agares.Even though others thought that he became Voldemort's lackey because of his admiration for the Dark Lord and his pursuit of black magic, Hermione always had doubts.

She thought that Agares was not Voldemort's person, or that he had no allegiance to anyone from the beginning to the end.

Either Voldemort or Dumbledore.

At this moment, when Harry and Lupine were both trapped in Snape's memory, Hermione finally couldn't help asking Agares.

Agares wasn't surprised at all that Hermione could see that this witch was, after all, one of the few people he thought wise.Given time, Hermione will definitely have a lot to offer in the wizarding world

"This war belongs to the wizarding world, not Dumbledore alone or his Order of the Phoenix, Hermione." According to the plan, at this moment he must also slowly express his position to others.So Agares did not refuse to answer Hermione's question.

His acknowledgment caused Hermione to have such a look on her face: "Then you are also an opponent of You-Know-Who? A lurker among the Death Eaters?"

Ron on the side showed a distrustful expression, but unfortunately, he never had many opportunities to express his views in front of Hermione.

Hermione easily suppressed Ron's remarks, and then looked at Agares expectantly.

Agares followed her wishes and continued, "Compared to the Order of the Phoenix, don't you think you can play a greater role among the Death Eaters?"

"Hermione! Don't be fooled by him! He's just a huh huh..." The latter words were blocked back by Hermione's vigorous deadlock.

Although she already believed in Agares' anti-Voldemort stance emotionally, Hermione still retained her reason and did not untie Agares' shackles. "And what about Harry? What's going on between you and Harry?"

Hermione endured her friend's various behaviors after being "broken in love" for a long time. Since it can be proved that Agares still belongs to our camp, does that also mean that Harry and Agares will return to each other after the war? good possibility?

The think tank is also an emotional expert, even though she is as smart as Hermione, she often feels tired.

But if Harry can reconcile with Agares, it will be worth the fatigue!

Mentioning Harry, Agares fell silent again.

This time, his expression was not so calm.

Hermione, who was always paying attention to him, didn't miss this expression, but before she could ask any further questions, the door of the principal's room was knocked open with a bang.

Sirius ignored Hermione and Ron pointing at his wand, and came directly towards Agares: "Is he dead?"

Agares understood who he was in an instant, and Hermione quickly realized who he was.

"Dead, at the hand of his master."

The man who had always been regarded as Snape's deadly enemy didn't show the slightest expression of happiness after hearing the news of his death.On the contrary, there are complex emotions in the eyes.

Seeing this scene, Agares was naturally able to confirm that it was Sirius who was in private contact with Snape during this period.This incident must have been planned by Dumbledore, to make two enemies who were recognized as impossible to cooperate with become the closest comrades-in-arms, let alone the Death Eaters, it is estimated that even the people inside the Order of the Phoenix could not believe it.

After understanding this, Agares raised the corner of his mouth and uttered the most terrible question.

"Since that's the case, then you also know the relationship between Harry and the Horcrux?"

What Horcrux?

Hermione and Ron looked at each other.

Sirius' face turned pale in an instant.

Harry and Lupine, who had just finished reading Snape's memory and still hadn't recovered from their shock, left the Pensieve, and happened to hear Agares' question and Sirius' expression that he didn't have 300 taels of silver here.

Lupine couldn't help but took a step forward: "Siris! Are you really..."

Surrounded by everyone's eyes, Sirius showed pain on his face, and he couldn't help looking at Harry, the child he swore to protect with his life and everything.

"I won't let you face him, Harry, I swear to James and Lily, I will never..."

What responded to him was Harry's unbelievable and deeply sad eyes.

The author has something to say:

A lot has happened during this time~

left a city

Self-cultivation

By the way, I finally have time to write my ending~

Thank you fairies for waiting

There are about two or three chapters left for the story of Agares to end~

In the original book, Snape died under the gaze of the same emerald green eyes as Lily's. For him, it was probably a relief.
