[HP] Subversion - Destined

The powerful green light sank into the snake's body, and the snake let go of Snape, let out a horrible hiss, rolled to the ground and convulsed violently for a few seconds, the movement became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped moving.

The spell drained the last of my magic, and the air was cold enough to frostbite my soul.I crawled over tremblingly, calling his name over and over again, "Sev...Sev..." I helped him into my arms who was lying in a pool of blood, and searched for the antidote on him, my hands trembling so badly that I could barely hold it Steady the bottle, "Sev...don't die, please..."

"Harry Potter!" Like thunder, Voldemort's voice spread to every corner. I raised my head in severe pain, and met those bloody eyes. The master's robes with a flat snake face were fierce and dark. His figure is like the most vicious curse, deeply branded in everyone's mind.He raised his wand high and folded his hands together, dark clouds billowed, lightning flashed and thundered, "Stupid and weak... Hahaha, hahahaha..."

"Boom—crack—!!!" A huge beam of light burst out of the clouds and struck at the last layer of Hogwarts' defense. , the castle was full of rubble, and finally someone could no longer bear such a terrifying scene, screaming and crying rang out.

"Hahahaha..." Looking at the approaching Aurors, Voldemort stopped laughing, and stared at me through the frozen air, "Harry Potter... You will lose everything. (You will lose everything.)" Sweeping proudly The nervous wizards waved their wands and disappeared without a trace.

Losing everything...losing everything... Voldemort's maniacal laughter echoed in my ears repeatedly, I subconsciously hugged the person in my arms, losing him means losing everything... no, I don't want to lose...

"Don't cry... Harry..." Snape's weak voice was covered with an ominous atmosphere, "Let go..." I shook my head desperately, choked up and couldn't speak, "If you don't let go...I'm really going to be strangled to death by you Cough cough...cough..." He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, and then coughed violently due to excessive emotion.

"You...Are you alright?" My eyes were blurred, and I could only see his pale face clearly.

"Relax, relax Harry! He'll be fine!" Madam Pomfrey approached us at some point, "You're going to make him very uncomfortable." She gently massaged my arm with one hand until the tight muscles Slack, expertly detecting wounds with one hand.

"Idiot...don't cry like a sick cat abandoned by its owner." Snape's voice was too low and hoarse, but he still refused to show weakness, when Madam Pomfrey was about to let him drink a bottle of silver-white shining potion She still turned her head in resistance, "That's enough... this bottle is unnecessary...!"

"Shut up! Harry, straighten his head!" The Queen of the Medical Wing sternly said, "Should I be glad you put the medicine here just in case? I knew that with your Personality absolutely wants to save Harry’s life until the end, isn’t it the blood donated voluntarily by unicorns? There are so many unicorns in the Forbidden Forest in the future, and you can make more than a dozen bottles if you randomly raise one in captivity! Now, give me a drink go down!"

"Who's crying! I'm not crying!" I wiped my face, raised my spirits and took the bottle of potion, "Do you drink it yourself or should I feed you?" I aimed towards the direction of the castle intentionally or unintentionally. How many pairs of eyes are watching.Snape struggled for a while, and finally swallowed the medicine with my hand.

"...Is the snake dead?" He struggled to sit up, still staring at the completely motionless snake warily.

Unnaturally, Sirius came over and added another note to the snake, "Dead. Deletrius. (Fade away without a trace)"

Seeing the corpse disappear, Snape almost jumped up: "Blake, you stupid dog! Ahem... Do you know how useful that snake is?!" His veins bulged, his eyes gleamed The human-loving light, the voice suddenly regained its power, completely unlike a person who almost died, "Snake teeth, snake skin, snake blood, snake venom, snake gall..."

"Severus? Snape!! Don't you want to live?!" Madam Pomfrey pressed Snape, who seemed to really want to get up and fight Sirius, and couldn't help shouting, "And you , Sirius, don't make any more trouble!"

Sirius was so angry that he stared at him, "I tell you Snape, no matter how many times you save Harry in the future, I will never thank you again! Fucking kindness is like a donkey's lung!" said He turned around angrily and left. Lupine behind him smiled at us apologetically and followed closely.

"Go to the medical wing!" Madam Pomfrey ordered with a wave of her hand.I held Snape up with difficulty, almost his entire weight on me.

"Let me help you." Tonks stepped forward to help me support him.

"Get out!" My cold gaze made her withdraw her hand in shock.He is mine, he is all I have, how can I let anyone take him away!At that moment, I almost wanted to destroy the whole world, everyone, everyone could hurt him, anyone who hurt him would die, he must die——

"Harry!" Snape's slightly warning voice woke me up from that weird state, "Empty your brain."

I took a deep breath, suppressing bloodthirsty thoughts with the help of my Occlumency ring.What's going on, why do I have such absurd urges?Could it be the damned Voldemort... I frowned and forced a smile to Tonks with difficulty: "Sorry. My mind was still stuck just now...you know..."

"It's okay, I can understand." She grinned at us heartily, "The Death Eaters have all retreated, and no one will attack you again." I nodded reluctantly, enduring all kinds of gazes behind me, Walking towards the castle step by step in silence, his back felt like needles...

The aftermath of the war was arduous. The professors were busy appeasing the little wizard who was still in shock. Aurors began to conduct a comprehensive search of the entire Forbidden Forest to ensure that there were no remnants of Death Eaters.The Ministry of Magic wanted to see me and Snape, but was temporarily stopped by Madam Pomfrey on the grounds that the patient needed to rest.

Snape fell asleep quickly because of the effect of the medicine. Originally, he should have been sent to St. Mungo's for such a serious injury, but because the potion he made with unicorn blood was the only holy medicine for healing in the world, the snake's venom was very painful. It will be neutralized quickly, and there is no fatal danger.But because of the rapid spread of the venom and the excessive blood loss, he still had to recuperate for a period of time before he could fully recover.

St. Mungo's sent to Hogwarts with a large supply of medicine to help the wounded wizards in battle.In addition to these adult wizards who have fought, there are also young wizards who are overly frightened, have overdrawn magic power, and have been scratched by gravel. a lot of.

I quietly looked at Snape's face softened by his deep sleep, and after stating what happened before Hogwarts was attacked, I remained silent.After listening to the second half of Professor McGonagall's supplement, Dumbledore pushed his glasses (he used the identity of the portrait after death to prevent anyone from breaking in during this chaotic period), "It seems that this is just Voldemort's A trial."

"Test? Just the temptation almost ruined Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall gasped, his face pale, "When did the Dark Lord have such powerful power?"

"No, his strength has not recovered, so we can only invade Hogwarts by surprise by taking advantage of Hogwarts' defense loopholes and using the lax psychology of the Ministry of Magic to control a large number of dementors. Once our strength is concentrated, They will have to retreat." Dumbledore tapped on the handrail with a serious expression, "His last attack was obviously for deterrence, but it was able to shake the foundation of the castle... When his image of invincibility is deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone, want to It's even harder to kill him."

Seeing the depressing silence in the arena, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Okay, don't be so serious, this trial may not be good for us. First of all, we have solved another Horcrux," he swept across me intentionally or unintentionally. forehead, "but the most important thing is to let the world realize how bad things have gone - the Ministry of Magic can no longer fool around, and can no longer interfere with the teaching at Hogwarts. The school's trustees They are all nobles. Nobles are usually selfish, but they are very afraid of death. In the past, they could turn a blind eye and let the Ministry of Magic mess around for the sake of their interests. Now even their heirs are threatened, so it is impossible Just sit back and watch."

Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "One thing I don't understand is that the Dark Lord should also know that the snake is one of his remaining Horcruxes, so why didn't he protect it well, instead, in this tentative action Sent out to attack Harry?"

"Although it is an incomplete soul, it can still have self-awareness after being strong enough, just like Ravenclaw's crown and diary. Voldemort should have realized this, so he no longer trusts his pet snake , may imprison it in the name of protection." Dumbledore paused, "The attack this time should be the snake's own initiative."

"Self-assessment?" Professor McGonagall repeated in surprise.

"From Bellatrix's sentence 'Harry Potter is the prey of the Dark Lord' and they never kill Harry, it can be seen that Voldemort told them that he should kill Harry himself, so naturally he will not let him No matter who intervenes, the snake violated his orders today and wanted to kill Harry. It can be seen that this Horcrux has autonomous consciousness. Therefore, after the death of the snake, Voldemort did not overreact. Disposing of this Horcrux without anyone noticing it is exactly what he wanted." Dumbledore's extremely methodical analysis left us speechless.

"In any case, the most urgent thing now is to check the protection system of Hogwarts, otherwise the lives of the students will not be guaranteed. In addition, Harry, please encourage the members of the DA, you have done a good job."

As Dumbledore said, after this incident, under the deliberate guidance of some reports, public opinion overwhelmingly pointed to the Ministry of Magic's negligence, Umbridge was suspended for review, Minister of Magic Fudge resigned, Hogwarts Finally no longer subject to the Ministry of Magic.

Hogwarts resumed normal teaching order after a three-day break from classes. Although Snape was still a little weak, he insisted on going back to class. According to his original words, it was because he couldn't tolerate other people ruining his Potions.As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, since Snape had no extra energy, Professor Flitwick could only temporarily take it.

After witnessing the transformation of my Animagus, I feel like I have jumped from a monkey in the zoo to a mascot for people to look up to - except for the internal members of DA, no one dares to They were flattered to chat with me, ask questions, or even say hello, and it was like a Kings Parade wherever I went.

On the contrary, Snape's status at Hogwarts has not changed much. Although everyone knows how powerful he is and knows that he will protect themselves, not many people can bear his Slytherin-style awkwardness. It is said that everyone has a certain sense of security about his existence in their hearts, but as long as the personality of the Snake King remains unchanged, points and venom will be deducted, and the bitter life will still be the same as before.

Snape's influence now is mainly reflected among the parents.When Umbridge was domineering, he did not fear the power and taught the students secretly, so that the DA members could calm down and protect themselves in the face of crisis (in fact, the Patronus Charm was useful at that time), through the recitation of the students, to the In the eyes of the parents, a good professor in the new era is formed who is strict in teaching, rigorous in style, and silently cares about students but never speaks out or is even misunderstood. He receives a bunch of thank you letters all day long.

The change that pleased me the most was Sirius’ attitude towards Snape. Although they still bickered when they met, the smell of gunpowder was significantly reduced. Lupine once talked with me in private, and Sirius’s suspicion of Snape decreased. Many, now the quarrel is more about jealousy and unwillingness.

The end of the term came in a blink of an eye, and everyone passed the exam successfully. George Fred, who finally graduated, resolutely opened a Weasley joke shop in Diagon Alley despite the opposition of his family.Cedric, who graduated in the same year, entered the Ministry of Magic under the arrangement of his father.

Although aware of the coming of darkness, the optimistic little wizards are still looking forward to the summer vacation as in previous years. When the Hogwarts Express is carrying a car full of reluctance and laughter, the irresistible shadows are quietly gathering. Come……
