if i am not me

Hiding his figure and slowly approaching the open space for the duel, Harry bit his lips, and wiped his hands on his robes, trying to wipe off the excessive sweat on his palms that almost made him unable to hold his wand steadily.

Everything that happened before caught him off guard.Touching the broken necklace on his chest, looking at Neville who had already taken the wand and Riddle standing opposite him, his mind was in chaos.Why did this unexpected situation happen.Why did Riddle make this decision against his nature, why didn't he kill Neville immediately after his resurrection, why did he give him a chance to save Neville?

...Countless thoughts collided in his mind, but he couldn't calm down and think about it.

It seemed that something was tempting him, but he couldn't take it easy anymore.

Originally, he didn't want to expose himself, because he thought that at least in the matter of Voldemort's resurrection, history would not change.

However, it turned out that he was wrong. Not only was the resurrected man no longer the original Voldemort, but Neville was also in a terrible situation - there was no wand that could restrain Voldemort, and there was no key to the Goblet of Fire to let him escape...even The backup he had prepared before had not made any movement now.

Thinking of this, Harry tried his best to restrain the urge in his heart to rush out immediately. Although the distance between him and Neville is less than ten meters, after all, he is not yet fully capable of taking Neville away. grasp……

By this time, Riddle and Neville had raised their wands to their chests.Of course, this scene seemed very funny to Harry, no matter because of their identities or their strength.But he didn't have time to think about whether Riddle deliberately wanted to insult Neville's dignity. At this moment, he tried his best to adjust the state of his whole body so that he could seize that opportunity, the moment when Riddle chanted the curse. , the chance to save Neville...

Quietly, he extended his wand out of the invisibility cloak and pointed it at Neville. Harry used the darkness of the night to hide his tracks.

After a few seconds, Riddle moved.

Fortunately, Neville was not slow, as soon as he saw Riddle's slight shaking of his hand, he immediately raised his wand - the training in the past few years was not a good show.

They waved their wands and started chanting loudly, and now!

Harry, who was ready to go, pointed at Neville's wand and drew the arc required for the spell at an extremely fast speed, and shouted in a low voice: "Accio Neville (Neville is coming)!"

Suddenly, a great pull spread from Harry's arm holding his wand to his whole body.At the same time, he also heard a very familiar voice in the cemetery, "Protego (armor protection)!"

Hearing the sound, Harry's pupils shrank sharply, but his heart, which had been suspended high, suddenly relaxed.However, the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and he still firmly pulled Naville in the direction he was in - anyway, Neville is also a person, it is impossible to really fly towards him like an ordinary object, only He was able to wear the protective spell blessed by that voice in a very weird posture, and he stumbled and was sucked by him.

Voldemort's attack missed, the red light hit a bush, and there was a sound like something was corroding.But he didn't seem to mind. When he saw Neville's body changing direction in a very strange way, a smug look flashed in his eyes.

However, after only a moment, the joy turned into jealousy and hatred because of the blue light on Neville's body.

At this time, Harry saw Neville getting closer and closer to him. After thinking for a while, he withdrew the Flying Charm without hesitation, and instead used a magic spell that he had just learned from the black book on Neville. The ancient spell to come.

Neville fell to the ground because of the suddenly withdrawn spell, but just when he was still dazed about to get up, a golden light enveloped him.A series of changes made Neville panic, but his body still instinctively wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so when he rushed towards the spell like a golden cover regardless of whether there was still an unknown danger, he was hit staggered.

At this time, Harry had already retracted his wand into the Invisibility Cloak, and a slight sense of loss of strength swept over his body, but he still turned around and ran out of the cemetery after the golden light completely covered Neville—since the man came, Then he can and must leave.

And all of this happened in just a few seconds.

Voldemort glanced in the direction Neville was in, and it was as empty as before.If Neville hadn't been inside that golden hood right now, he might never have known that just before that boy was so close to him...

But after only one glance, he withdrew his gaze and looked in another direction, where an old man with silver hair and long beard was coldly pointing at him with his wand.

"Dumbledore..." Voldemort stretched out his tongue and licked his parched lips, and smiled coldly, "You old fellow has a good nose, and you actually found it here."

"Tom..." Dumbledore looked at the 16-year-old Voldemort in front of him, and the shock in his heart might not be much less than that of Harry.It's just that the expression on his face is still faint, and he said in a very calm tone, "Long time no see."

Hearing this, Riddle laughed arrogantly, "It's been a long time indeed. The wrinkles on your face show that you don't have much time to live." As soon as he finished speaking, a green light flashed from the tip of his wand , Shooting straight at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore has been paying attention to Riddle's every move, so as soon as he noticed that there was a change in him, he immediately dodged the attack at a speed that would never appear on the old man in the eyes of others.For a moment, the two rushed towards Neville as if they had a tacit understanding, and at the same time stretched out their hands towards Neville who was still standing in the golden light at a loss.

However, they found that they couldn't do it, because the cover made of golden light suddenly stood on both sides of the cover, pointing their wands at each other again.

"You've changed a lot. I'm surprised." Seeing that Neville would not be in any danger for the time being, Dumbledore said to Voldemort slowly, and stroked the surface of the cover with his hand that was not holding the wand.

Voldemort did the same thing as Dumbledore. Hearing this, he lowered his eyelashes and rolled his eyes. He sneered again and said, "I told you before, I have defeated death."

"Maybe, Tom..." After hearing what Voldemort said, Dumbledore just blinked lightly, "But you have to know that there are actually many things more terrible than death."

As soon as the words fell, Neville saw Dumbledore wave his wand lightly, and then found that Voldemort had to dodge the attack in a very embarrassed posture.

"Damn it! You can't kill me, Dumbledore." Realizing his embarrassment, the anger in Voldemort's eyes rose even more violently, as if he would turn into a poisonous snake and bite the old man's artery if he had the chance.

But Dumbledore didn't say anything anymore, he just waved the wand that made Voldemort fearful again.

Neville had never seen such a fight.

Every spell seemed to contain great power, but they missed the spells attacking them again and again.Those spells cannot harm themselves, nor can they harm the other party.And after the two of them dodged, those spells either hit the golden screen protecting him, or hit some other objects in the field, making loud and strange sounds from time to time.

The stele was cracked, the bushes were scorched, and even on the originally flat ground, there was a big crater that looked like it was blown out by some heavy object.

The cemetery has changed beyond recognition, but they are still attacking and defending.

As for him, he could only look anxiously at their constantly changing figures, and foolishly watched all this through this extremely strong hood.

Finally, just when Neville felt that the spells that bypassed Dumbledore were about to break the golden screen, Voldemort stopped suddenly - Neville could see clearly that he was bleeding.

Dumbledore finally took advantage of his full attack on the protective barrier and wounded the man who had always seemed strong.

Voldemort felt the viscous wetness, and a surge of hatred occupied his chest, but his brain, which was originally full of crazy thoughts, also woke up with the tingling and coldness brought by the blood.

The red eyes dimmed instantly, and Voldemort secretly pinched his long fingernails into the palm of his hand, exchanging the pain for his rationality and calmness at this time.

Sure enough, the time was still too short to swallow it completely...

Thinking of this, Voldemort quickly moved away from the hood where Neville was.Then, under Dumbledore's defensive eyes, he pulled Wormtail who did not know when he appeared behind him, and disappeared into this messy cemetery with a "snap".

Neville stared dumbfounded at the empty field in front of him, and couldn't react for a while.It wasn't until Dumbledore stood in front of him that he said in a daze, "School, Headmaster?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, pressed his hand on the golden barrier that had obviously weakened a lot, and said, "It's all right, kid."

Except for the knife cut by Wormtail, Neville actually didn't have any major injuries, so he shook his head hastily, and then looked at Dumbledore worriedly, "Principal, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled slightly, and gave Neville a very reassuring smile, "I'm fine." But then he frowned, stroked the obviously weak golden barrier, and asked , "Neville, is this...?"

Dumbledore's question made Neville a little confused, "Didn't you add it to me?"

"Of course not, kid." Neville's answer made Dumbledore pause for a moment. It seemed that the kid didn't know that other people were helping him.Thinking of this, he pressed the barrier even harder.

Who is the one?To be able to use this long-lost defensive spell, although it didn't last long enough...

"Not you?" Unexpectedly, this barrier was not set up by Dumbledore, Neville knocked on the golden cover that still trapped him in place, and suddenly remembered the weirdness of his body before.

At that time, he seemed to hear someone shout "Accio Neville" in a low voice.

"So there are others helping me..."
