Chapter 73: Dumbledore's Death

Under the moonlight, the Screaming Shed looked like a wild beast crouching in the grass, as if it could devour any creature that inadvertently ran into it at any time. The Dark Lord looked at Mel anxiously, with a frightening temper: "Where is the entrance?"

Mel didn't move, she stared at the Dark Lord, staying quietly where she was.

The Dark Lord quickly noticed Mel's abnormality, he stopped and stared at Mel: "So what?"

"We want three chapters of the law!" Mel said calmly, she knew that if she didn't make an agreement with the Dark Lord, after they entered, the Dark Lord would destroy her plan at any time.

"What?" The Dark Lord looked at Mel provocatively, as if Mel didn't give him a satisfactory answer, so he let Mel die without a burial.

However, Mabel Dalton was not intimidated.

She raised her index finger steadily: "First, you will do what I say, and you will never act without authorization."

The Dark Lord was silent for a moment, then agreed.

"Second, no matter what happens to Dumbledore tonight, don't be impulsive."

"What do you mean!" The Dark Lord's voice was sharp and harsh.

Mel was expressionless, "You will know after tonight. I will tell you no matter what you ask, but you must obey my orders tonight."

"—OK!" After struggling, the Dark Lord agreed.

"Okay! You cast the invisibility spell on us!" Mel breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the Dark Lord.

After the two disappeared, Mel led the Dark Lord into the screaming booth, and it took a long time for the two to come out of the damp secret passage.

Holding down the scar on the Whomping Willow, they drilled out of the hole, and the two walked towards the castle on the withered lawn.

Hogwarts was peaceful at this time, only a few corridor lights shone dimly through the narrow glass windows.

"Let's go to the Astronomy Tower!" Mel lowered her voice and pointed to the tallest tower. She couldn't see the Dark Lord, so she could only judge his location by the rustling sounds around her.

Along the way, the surroundings were quiet, and Mel's heart beat faster and faster, "At least, no one will die tonight except Dumbledore!" Mel comforted himself.

Their footsteps were very soft, careful not to waken the murals on the walls and the armor in the niches.

The wind on the observatory was very cold, and the shelf where the stargazing instrument was placed was whining by the wind.

Mel took shelter under a wall and rubbed her hands together to keep warm.

"What are you doing now?"

The Dark Lord's voice was so close that Mel jumped.

"Will Dumbledore discover us like this?" Mel asked him again in order not to make mistakes.

"As long as you don't make a sound, he won't be able to find you for a while!"

"En!" Mel nodded, only to realize that the other party couldn't see, and quickly answered.

"You remember to cast the Levitation Charm later!" Mel's nonsensical words made the Dark Lord very uncomfortable.

"When?"

"You will know when the time comes, and you don't need to do anything else!"

"Okay!" The Dark Lord agreed, usually he would never be so happy, but this time Mel emphasized many changes, which made him realize the importance of this matter.

"You swear!" Mel was still worried.

The Dark Lord was furious, and swore angrily.

This reassured Mel.

"How do you know that something will happen to Dumbledore tonight?" The silence on the tower made people panic, and the Dark Lord finally couldn't help breaking the suffocating silence.

Mel was flicking her wand boredly. After hearing what the Dark Lord said, she thought for a while and told him: "When we went to Voldemort's cave last time, I put a spell on the door. As long as someone opens that door, I will The wand will vibrate, and I will know that someone has touched the door. And the size of the wand vibration will tell me how magical the person is and how skilled he is in breaking the spell."

"Although Voldemort's magic power is powerful, he must have been very proficient when he opened the door, so I concluded that Dumbledore went to that cave tonight, and, according to Ron, this year Hogwarts was very uneventful. For reasons that cannot be said now, I conclude that Dumbledore is in danger tonight!"

Mel's voice was flat when she said this, masking her nervousness that she wasn't telling the truth.She not only made a warning spell in Voldemort's cave, she also cast a set of very insidious spells, which not only caused Dumbledore to lose too much blood, but also caused the curse that was suppressed on him to spread.

In this way, even if Dumbledore does not drink the poison in the stone basin, his current body will be too weak, and Dumbledore's weakness is very necessary for Mel's next actions.

As soon as Mel finished speaking, there was a creaking sound on the stairs, and Mel's hand was grabbed by the Dark Lord.

Knowing that the Dark Lord was out to protect her, Mel's heart warmed.

The pylon door was pushed open, and Malfoy's pale face was exposed through the crack of the door. He looked terrified, and it took three swipes of the wand in his hand to successfully cast the Dark Mark.

A snake spitting out a letter protruded from the green skull, and the disgusting Mel wanted to vomit.

Mel clenched the Dark Lord's hand tightly, signaling him not to act rashly.

When Malfoy's thin figure left, Mel became more nervous. She warned the Dark Lord in a low voice, "Remember what you promised me, don't let us regret it afterwards!"

Her response was the Dark Lord's cold snort.

Mel rolled his eyes at the air, and didn't care whether the other party could see or not, otherwise his chest would be really stuffy.

The waiting time was really long, and the surroundings were so quiet that only his own heartbeat could be heard. Just when Mel himself doubted whether Dumbledore would come tonight, the sound of two broomsticks flying across the sky came over. , and then Dumbledore landed on the observatory.

There was severe pain in Mel's hand, but she didn't dare to scream, and further squeezed the Dark Lord's hand, hoping that he would not be impulsive.

There were four people on the observatory at the moment, but three were invisible, and everything seemed to be Dumbledore talking to himself.This scene is weird!

"What does that mean?" asked the invisible Harry to Dumbledore. "Is the mark real? Someone really was - taught?"

Dumbledore was clutching his chest with his blackened hand.

"Go and wake Severus," Dumbledore ordered Harry weakly but clearly, "tell him what happened and tell him to come to me right away. Do nothing else, don't Talk to no one, and don't take off your cloak. I'll wait here."

Mel felt that the Dark Lord's hand began to tremble, and her hand was already numb, but she dared not let him go so that the Dark Lord would not be impulsive.

"But—" Harry hesitated.

"You swear to obey me, Harry - go!" Dumbledore's voice was irresistible.

Mel heard Harry's footsteps hurrying towards the door of the spiral staircase, but as he approached the iron door, she heard running footsteps on the other side of the door.

Then, everything happened very quickly, and Dumbledore pinned Harry so that Malfoy didn't notice Harry's presence.

Dumbledore's body was weak, but he tried to save Malfoy's soul nonetheless, and the two discussed Malfoy's lame plots of the year.

Mel didn't pay attention to this at all, outside the door, in the corridors of Hogwarts, there was chaos.The sound of curses, screams, footsteps, cries, all this mess made Mel extremely anxious.

The empty, flustered feeling of forgetting something very important enveloped her again.

[Mabel Dalton, you must concentrate, the things in front of you are the most important thing! ] Mel couldn't help but silently recited these words to calm himself down.

Malfoy was not as courageous as he thought. Although he removed Dumbledore's wand, he pointed at Dumbledore's wand, but it kept shaking.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps thumping up the stairs, and in the blink of an eye, Malfoy was thrown aside, and four men in black robes broke through the door and swarmed around the wall.

Mel's heart went cold when he saw the Death Eater next to the door.The man was long-limbed, with matted gray hair and whiskers, and the black Death Eater robes clenched uncomfortably around him.His voice was odd, a hissing growl, and his dirty fingers had long yellow nails that were bloodshot.

Fenrir Greyback, the werewolf who bit Professor Lupine!

...bitten Bill too!

……just now!

Mel's whole body began to convulse, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Her body, which was already leaning against the wall, slipped to the bottom of the wall.

The Dark Lord's hand, which had been tightly held, was weak and let go.

The Dark Lord sensed Mel's strangeness, his hand regained its usual strength, and pulled Mel up.

He whispered in her ear, "What's wrong with you?"

The arrogant voices of the four Death Eaters were too noisy to cover his voice, and Dumbledore was so weak that he couldn't find it.

Hearing the Dark Lord's question, Mel was shocked and thought of the purpose of coming tonight. At this time, Snape's arrival had already attracted everyone's attention.

Trembling all over, Mel rolled and crawled along the base of the wall and threw himself in front of Dumbledore.Dumbledore begged Snape, "Severus..."

Snape pushed away those who blocked him, raised his wand, and moved closer to Dumbledore, and then Mel heard Dumbledore's weak pleading: "Severus...please..."

Dumbledore's pleading was like a signal. As soon as he finished speaking, Mel, who was close to him, clasped his good hand with both hands.

Dumbledore was shocked, and he wanted to tilt his head, but a merciless "Avada Kedavra!" interrupted his movements.

He was shot into the air, passed through the green Dark Mark, and disappeared into the dark night without a sound.

Following him, there was also the invisible Mel!
