if i am not me

The rapid heartbeat roared in my ears, and the chaotic battlefield was in front of me. Every step I took was frightening, but Leo Potter didn't dare to stop at all.

He had already been hiding and unexpectedly encountered a dementor!

It's not that he has never learned how to call God for protection, but when he faced a real dementor, he understood why so many people's faces changed when they heard about a dementor.

It's so hard to find joy in that cold, fearful mood...

After releasing the summoning guard several times, the shadow of death followed him everywhere, and he had no choice but to run away.The scenery around him changed again and again, from sparse woods to low bushes. He was alert and resolutely ran towards the battlefield.

At least there were people from the Order of the Phoenix there.

When did things go off the rails?Leo panted heavily, while running wildly, he was distracted thinking about why he fell into this situation.

It seems that it started when the school was suddenly attacked...

He knew that Dumbledore and his father had important things to accomplish tonight, and that even Lupine and Severus had to leave Hogwarts, so when he stepped in to receive Dumbledore's request, he was undoubtedly delighted .

He always wanted to do something for them.

Dumbledore borrowed the Invisibility Cloak from him, but because he left too hastily last time, the Invisibility Cloak was still in Hogwarts.As for the box containing the invisibility cloak, no one could open it except himself.

It happened that his mother was worried about him staying alone in the base camp of the Order of the Phoenix, so she sent him back to Hogwarts.

It's a pity that the Death Eaters attacked the school frenziedly before they got the Invisibility Cloak and handed it over to the Aurors who came to meet him.

Leo knew that the Invisibility Cloak would play a big role tonight, so he followed Harry and the others anxiously to avoid them.He had to do well and find a way to get the Invisibility Cloak out.

So when Harry and the others left the Room of Requirement, he rushed out of this safe haven with the Invisibility Cloak in spite of everything.

and after?

Get caught, pass out, wake up to see Hermione feeding him medicine.

If he hadn't been injured too badly and the effect of the medicine was too slow, he would never have let Hermione, a girl, do such a dangerous thing.

But at that time, it was difficult for him to even move, so he could only entrust this important and dangerous task to Hermione.

He knew, in fact, he knew everything.

What do you want an invisibility cloak for?It was to save Neville.

The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​located in Sirius' mother's house, a very interesting house.I still remember how he marveled at the whimsy of the design when Sirius took him exploring the house.

And it was these not-so-dignified designs that allowed him to overhear some news in the Order of the Phoenix that he shouldn't have known.

Neville is a Horcrux.

To save him, the invisibility cloak is essential.

It was precisely because he knew the news that when Dumbledore approached him, he did not hesitate.

Time is precious.Dumbledore had planned for so long to save Neville's life, how could he be delayed because he delivered the Invisibility Cloak late?

So he told Hermione everything he knew.

He believed that the smartest witch in Hogwarts would definitely come up with the most suitable solution.

What Leo didn't expect was that he would encounter so many dementors.

There are more and more people who can see, but these people all have their own opponents, they can't pay attention to this little dwarf who is running fast, and naturally no one can help him.

Leo could only keep running, even if his heels were filled with lead, he couldn't stop for a moment.He was even thankful that Severus's medicine was really effective, and he successfully changed from a cripple who couldn't move to a "long-distance runner" in a short period of time.

He didn't remember how long he had been running, but when he found a large area suddenly vacated in the place where the most magic was concentrated, he realized that he had come to the center of the battlefield.

There, he saw Dumbledore and two other strangers, they were fighting fiercely, and the strong fluctuations of magic power made Leo startled from ear to ear.

The dementors chasing him all the way seemed to be stunned by the magic power in the center of the battlefield, and slowed down for a while, which made Leo, who was always watching the dementors' actions, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was so tired.

However, because of this relaxation, Leo, who didn't pay attention to his feet, tripped over a protruding stone and fell to the ground.

Dementors certainly wouldn't miss this golden opportunity.Rotten hands slipped out from under the cloak and bent down towards Leo.

There was pain in his knee, but Leo couldn't feel it.All the senses of his body were concentrated on the hands that strangled his neck, the wet and cold touch, and the rancid smell were tormenting his five senses.But what was even more frightening was that all his happiness was gone.

He seemed to be screaming.

But the fog still hung around him.Soon, he couldn't even make a sound.

Falling weakly to the ground, Leo, who was trembling all over, could only murmur in the end: "Mom..."

Suddenly, two silver lights appeared in his vision, getting brighter and brighter. As the lights approached, the cold feeling gradually disappeared from his body.

He warms up.

Two silver stags surrounded him, driving away the voracious eaters—the last thing Leo saw before he passed out.

On the other side of the battlefield, James, who was fighting fiercely with his opponent, seemed to hear Leo's scream.

He couldn't mistake his son's voice.Although Leo should be staying at Hogwarts well at this time, he subconsciously became nervous.Somewhere, he felt that he couldn't gamble on that slight possibility, otherwise he would lose Leo forever.

like he lost...

What to lose?

There was a sudden shock in my mind, and the feeling of dizziness was more intense than ever.

But he had no time to think.The wizard's intuition made him quickly look in a certain direction, and it was this glance that almost broke his heart.

A few tens of meters away, his son was lying on the ground unconsciously, surrounded by several dementors.

The body shook again.

Numerous pictures flashed through his eyes, and Lily's heart-piercing cries came from his ears. He saw a young child being hugged by Severus with a distorted face, but his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale and not alive. .

Kid is like Leo, but not Leo.

who is it?

Why is Lily so sad?

Why does the child appear to be dead?

"ExpectoPatronum! (ExpectoPatronum)"

Regardless of the Death Eaters who were attacking him, James instinctively shook his wand and shot in Leo's direction.At the same time, the same voice sounded nearby.

James, who came back to his senses, saw a stag that was the same as his Patronus come out of the sky, rushed towards Leo together with his Patronus, and they ran together, expelling the dementors around Leo until they hid again. into the darkness.

Lily's voice rang again.

Who is she calling?

Harry...who is it?
