Anita knelt down to pick up the wand, and suddenly found a pair of blood-red eyes, the cold vertical pupils locked on her without blinking.A large snake taller than an adult showed its sharp fangs at her and made a threatening sound of "hissing", while Bellatrix's wand was being pressed against its body thicker than a thigh by the snake Down.

"Give me the wand, Nagini," Anita said in Parseltongue, carefully approaching the wand as she stared into the serpent's eyes.

Nagini bared his teeth, put on an attacking posture, and said "hissing", "Little girl, you'd better not move around, lay down and tell me to keep an eye on you."

"Voldemort is not your master, Nagini," said Anita.

"Hiss, you sweet-talking little girl, I won't be fooled."

"Nagini, you should remember when you were a child. Think about it when you were in the orphanage, it wasn't Voldemort who picked you up, it was Tom, right? And in Hogwarts..."

Nagini leaped forward, and Anita slumped to the ground, avoiding Nagini's fangs.

Nagini stared at Anita coldly, the tip of her tongue sticking out from time to time was less than ten centimeters away from Anita's eyes.The way Nagini looked at Anita told Anita that if Anita said anything else, she would definitely attack, and this time Anita would definitely not be able to hide.

Damn it!Anita shut her mouth in embarrassment.

As a Slytherin who can speak Parseltongue, Anita likes snakes very much. She also has a basilisk, but she really can't like Nagini.Although Tom once said that Nagini was a cute little girl, but now Nagini and Voldemort are so similar that Anita hates her from the bottom of her heart.

Anita weighed the force gap between her and Nagini without a wand, and Nagini could summon Voldemort at any time, so she had to temporarily give up her escape plan.

Bellatrix covered her waist and stood up grinning.In front of Nagini, Bellatrix rarely restrained her usual arrogance. She looked at her wand, but did not take it, but asked carefully, "Master Nagini?"

Nagini withdrew his gaze from Anita, and turned to stare at Bellatrix coldly.

Bellatrix couldn't help shivering.Among the Death Eaters, the only one that Bellatrix believed in was Voldemort, and Nagini had a higher status beside Voldemort than anyone else, and Voldemort would feed the captives and the Death Eaters who made mistakes to Nagini eats.Bellatrix and other Death Eaters were asked to watch Nagini eat more than once, watching Nagini swallow people alive bit by bit.Therefore, although the Death Eaters take pleasure in torturing others, none of them is not afraid of Nagini.

Nagini hissed Bellatrix a few times in warning before slowly moving away from his body.

Bellatrix quickly picked up the wand. She glanced at Nagini, saw that the big snake was just staring at them, and did not make any other movements, so she roughly pulled Anita up.

This time Bellatrix was more vigilant, she stopped talking to Anita, but pointed at Anita with one hand tightly holding her wand, and grabbed Anita's hair with the other hand, and held her down for a while. A dark, steep staircase with a heavy iron door below.Bellatrix knocked on the door with her wand, muttered a spell, the door opened, and she shoved Anita hard.

"Stay here, little bitch." Bellatrix cursed sharply. "I'll treat you well when the master's business is done..."

The door was slammed shut, and the dungeon was pitch black, with no light or sound.

Hogwarts, Potions Professor's office, Severus stood in front of Dumbledore holding a wand, "I don't think killing people can solve any problems, Riddle."

"Put down your wand, Severus." Tom played with Dumbledore's wand, "I didn't intend to kill Dumbledore, or I wouldn't have used the Disarming Charm just now."

Severus and Tom glanced at each other before putting down their wands.

Dumbledore looked at Severus, then at Tom, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Let me borrow your wand," Tom said, handing Dumbledore the letter Harry had left behind.

Dumbledore quickly read the letter and frowned, "Can you crack the location corresponding to the Portkey?"

"Not enough time," said Tom. "I need at least a day to break the portkey without destroying it."

Dumbledore put on his glasses, examined the quill carefully, and shook his head in frustration. "I can't do better than you."

"We can only do what the letter says," said Tom.

"We can't do what the letter says." Dumbledore retorted, "There must be a trap waiting for you over there."

"We must do what the letter says. Anita is in Voldemort's hands," Tom said.

"we can not……"

Dumbledore was interrupted by Tom before he finished speaking.Tom pointed at Dumbledore with his wand and said, "You'd better play dead with my plan, or I don't mind letting you die. If it weren't for your stupid plan of 'Voldemort must kill Potter himself', I would have killed Potter's Horcrux long ago, and none of this would have happened."

"I made a mistake, Tom. I was too confident in myself. I underestimated Voldemort's control over Horcruxes." Dumbledore ignored the wand that could kill him at any time, and looked at Tom calmly. Say, "But Harry isn't just a Horcrux, he's a human being, a child like Anita. You and I both know you wouldn't kill Harry, Tom, not even for Anita's sake." .”

"For Anita, there is nothing I can't do." Tom said coldly, still pointing his wand at Dumbledore.

"I'm going to rescue Anita," Severus said, "Voldemort's residence is heavily protected, and I can't tell the address, and I can't take anyone there, but I still have permission to enter. I'll get Anita out."

Tom and Dumbledore looked at each other, nodded, and agreed to the plan.Dumbledore warned, "Anita must be a hostage that Voldemort is focusing on now, so be careful."

Tom said, "We have to be prepared for Severus to fail. If Severus doesn't come back by 11 o'clock, I will still bring Dumbledore's wand to the appointment."

"Do you have any plans?" asked Dumbledore. "You know, Voldemort will certainly use Anita to blackmail you."

"Not yet," said Tom. "We'll just have to play it by ear."

Suddenly, Severus' expression changed, and he grabbed his left forearm.Severus hastily took out a piece of parchment from the desk, and tapped it regularly with his wand a few times, a line of words emerged on the paper:

"Kill Dumbledore before 11 o'clock tonight."

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and said to Tom, "It seems that Voldemort doesn't think you will kill me either."

Tom sneered, "Voldemort just made double insurance. If I kill you, then it's best. If I don't kill you, for the sake of Anita, I will at least take your wand, then he sends someone else to kill you." It's so much easier."

"Then I'm leaving." Severus nodded to Tom and Dumbledore, and stepped into the fireplace.

"I'm going to tell Irene about Anita." Tom said, and walked out. "By the way," Tom turned his head and asked, "You should have more than this wand, right?"

"No." Dumbledore looked at the Elder Wand in Tom's hand, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, "This wand once belonged to an old friend of mine. I still have a wand, although not as powerful as this one , but it’s easy for me to use.”

"Very well, it looks like Voldemort is going to be disappointed," said Tom. "Also, if I were you, I'd check the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts wherever Potter has permission."

"It's been arranged." Dumbledore's face showed worry, "but it may be too late. It's 11 o'clock tonight."

"Eleven o'clock tonight," repeated Tom.

The two looked at each other with serious expressions.

Soon, Tom smiled, waved his wand casually, and walked out of the office.

The dungeon was pitch black, and Anita huddled in a corner, and the two walls behind her gave her a sense of security.It was very cold and damp in the dungeon, and Anita shivered a little, feeling like she had a fever.Anita's left cheek was in a burning pain, but compared to the previous Cruciatus Curse, this pain was nothing.The ground was sticky, and Anita tried to stand up so she wouldn't have to touch the ground, but she was so tired that it was all she could do to keep herself from passing out.Anita tried hard not to let herself think about what happened to the people who were locked in the dungeon before, so she left such a touch on the ground.

Anita didn't know how long she had been locked up. Reason told Anita that it wouldn't be too long, but her reason was gradually drifting away from her.Anita tried her best to put all her attention on how to save herself, but it was a bit difficult, her brain was still throbbing and throbbing, and in such a place without any light or sound, her brain couldn't help it. Random thoughts come up all the time.

Suddenly, the iron door opened, and the sudden light made Anita close her eyes involuntarily.

Anita listened tensely to the almost inaudible footsteps approaching her quickly. At this moment, she smelled a familiar smell. Before her drowsy brain could react, tears welled up in her eyes. came out - of course, this may also be caused by the sudden stimulation of the eyes by light.

Anita felt a cool hand brush her forehead, and she rubbed it habitually.

"Daddy," Anita murmured.

"You have a fever." Severus' deep voice whispered softly in Anita's ear, "It's okay, I'll take you out."

"Hmm." Anita's voice was very nasal

"Can we go? Apparation is not allowed here except You-Know-Who, we have to go outside the confines of the manor." Severus whispered.If Anita couldn't walk by herself, Severus would have to carry Anita out so he wouldn't have his wand in hand.

"No problem." Anita's eyes had adjusted to the light, and she looked at Severus brightly.

Anita stood up with Severus' support.

Just then, a sharp voice came from the door, "Severus, you shouldn't be here." Bellatrix pointed her wand at Severus, and she stared at Anita and Severus warily. Fleurs two.
