Chapter 61 60

The crowd rushed in, spells from both sides swept in the chaos, the black smoke from the Death Eaters was entangled with the white magic of the professors, I resisted all kinds of spells flying in front of me, at this moment, I heard the rumors again. There was a deafening roar, and everyone present was stunned for a moment. It was as if thousands of people climbed over an invisible wall and entered the castle, declaring war.

Suddenly, a loud shout came: "Hagrid!"

It's a crowd of giants, they're running this way, they're calling for Hagrid.

"Glop! Is that you!" Hagrid responded to the voice, and he rushed to his team regardless.

However, at this moment, at the moment when the giant team arrived, countless sharp arrows suddenly flew from the sky, and they rained down one after another, hitting Dolokhov and scratching Evira. Caused a panic.

"And us!" Along with the shout, came the sound of thousands of hooves from the galloping horsemen.

"Very good! It's all here!" Father's tone revealed incomparable cruelty, he raised his wand and shouted at the Death Eater army: "My loyal friends, followers, wipe them all from now on , don’t keep any of them, let’s create a new one that belongs to us! Brand new! Magic world!”

"Kill them!" Bella was shouting, Evira, Murciber and all of them began to respond, as if everyone's eyes were full of killing demons at this moment.

But when they were rushing towards each other to kill each other, Neville had long since disappeared. I tried to find him in the chaotic crowd, but something even more terrifying happened, and Harry's body was also gone!

"No!" I shook my head, and a terrible hypothesis emerged in my mind.

At this moment, I heard Nagini's roar, and on the stone steps of the castle, I saw Neville, who actually pulled out the Gryffindor sword from his battered hat!

The ruby ​​engraved on it exudes a blood-colored dazzling light at this moment.

"Nagini! Come back!" I yelled hoarsely through the crowd.

However, at this moment, Nagini had already entangled Neville, and seeing that his fangs were about to pierce Neville's arm, at this moment, Neville raised the Gryffindor sword with his other hand.

"Avada!" I leapt forward, hugged Nagini, and shot the spell at Neville with impeccable force.

"Bang!" was heard, and the spell was blocked by Neville with the Gryffindor sword. The Gryffindor sword broke instantly, and the last blade fell straight to my back.

"Randolph!" Nagini, who was in my arms, suddenly roared hoarsely. It swung me out with a spin of its tail, and the cutting blade fell completely, and Nagini's head fell off.

I froze in place, I knew it was him just now: "Dad..."

With the disappearance of the Horcrux, the father let out an extremely angry roar, and his wand burst out with great force, causing everyone to be scattered to the castle wall in an instant.

However, this did not scare them. On the contrary, more people gathered in front of the castle, wizards from Hogsmeade village, St. Munger's healer, and even house elves. Each of them held a wand or a weapon, Everyone's so messed up and tired, but they're still fighting us.

I knew that this was not the way to go, I looked for Lucius in the crowd, and I shouted his name: "Where is Lucius! Lucius Malfoy!"

Evira pulled back from the melee: "No one saw him, not even Draco and Narcissa!"

"Damn it!" I cursed, and Lucius broke his promise, maybe they'd run away long ago.

There is no way, now facing more and more people who are more and more unwilling to compromise, we can only solve it by ourselves.

"Avada!" The light of the wand hit the group of people trying to come up in front of them. Among them were students who had studied together at Hogwarts, and ordinary people who had no fighting power. However, war is like a cruel armored vehicle. Get them all involved and die here.

My father was confronting the three professors, McGonagall, Slughorn, and Flitwick at the moment. Their light was in opposition to my father's green light. I stepped on the corpse and attacked Flitwick from behind. , Flitwick fell down, and the strength of Slughorn and McGonagall began to weaken instantly, and finally his father threw them into the air and onto the ground.

Then my father pointed his wand at McGonagall and Slughorn on the ground, and suddenly, a voice appeared: "Stop! Voldemort! Tom Riddle!" It was an extremely clear and loud voice, with calmness and firmness from the crowd.

Everyone was shocked, they stopped fighting, and at this moment, the father turned around in disbelief: "Harry Potter!"

The moment this name sounded, I was hit by the Kedavin Curse in a trance, a coldness swept from head to toe, and I knew that everything was going to end!That boy really escaped death!I close my eyes and let out a breath.

"You are still alive! What a boy who survived! Well, well, then I don't mind killing you again!" Father's scarlet eyes were fixed on Harry, as if he was a prey ready to be torn apart, " Little boy, who do you want to help you today?"

"I don't need anyone's help, because today I am standing here without fear, and I will fight you for those who died and everyone I want to protect!"

Immediately there was cheering and screaming from the crowd, shouting Harry's name, and the inspiring excitement came from all directions.

The father sneered: "Really? Is it up to you? Tell me, who else do you want to be your shield."

"No one." Harry said simply: "Your horcruxes have been wiped out, wake up, repent, Riddle!"

"Horcrux?" Father said in a very soft voice, and then laughed again.

Harry didn't understand what he meant, but I knew it. I thought of that night, when my father spared no effort to repair his soul, and I quietly clenched the locket on my chest.

At this moment, Evira came running and whispered to me: "He's coming, Lucius is here!"

I was surprised to see Lucius who suddenly appeared in the ranks of Death Eaters, with a silver Death Eater mask on his face, I stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "Why is it so late! You Do you know that you almost ruined our business!"

"The Forbidden Forest has been occupied by the centaurs, and there are also giants. They have united and surrounded the school. God knows how difficult it is for me to get that shipment in!"

"I can't control that much, now, Evira, you and Mulciber, by the way, and Yaxley also called him, you guys take advantage of this, while Harry and my father are deadlocked Go and pay attention, you give me all the goods to surround the castle, and don't let me miss every exit and every gap!"

"Merlin, there are [-] tons here, are you going to use them all? I have tried its effect, just a little bit can cause a huge explosion, Randolph, what do you want to do?" Evira asked incredulously I.

"Are you going to destroy the castle?" Mulciber also said in horror.

"Quiet! Do as I say, immediately!" I commanded them.

After Evira and Mulciber left, Lucius was surprisingly quiet. He didn't ask any questions, but from his calm mood, I already vaguely guessed something.

"Is there anything you want to say to me, Lucius?"

He looked up at me, and after a while, he said slowly as if he had decided something: "I'm leaving, Randolph."

I frowned slightly, and then smiled sarcastically: "That's right! As expected of the ancient Malfoy family, they really know the situation in a small way, and they have a far-sighted view—"

I should have taken his betrayal lightly, because it was expected, but for some reason, I still felt an unprecedented loss in my heart.

"I know you have saved Draco many times, Narcissa and I are grateful to you, really, but please forgive us." He lowered his head and said to me sincerely from the heart.

"Actually, this war is completely meaningless. Harry has been resurrected. The prophecy 17 years ago is being fulfilled. No one can escape. Randolph, didn't you already know that?"

"Shut up!" I pointed my wand at his neck, "It's not the last moment yet!"

"Don't lie to yourself, you know. If you're not afraid, why did I send fifty tons of poppy, and why did Evira and the others spread all around the castle?" He looked at me His eyes said softly: "It's all over!"

"Even if we don't get out alive, I can still kill you now, Lucius!" I warned him.

"You can do this, you have the right to do this!" He touched the eye that I couldn't see, "Your eye is to help Draco kill Dumbledore when he was injured on the Astronomy Tower, yours The wound was also bitten by a werewolf when saving Draco. I am willing to pay you with my life for these, but, I beg, let my son and wife leave. They should not be involved in such a cruel war .They are innocent."

They are innocent!Neville said the same.

What about me, am I not innocent?Wasn't my father and I innocent in the penniless orphanage?

Who caused the war!Why did all this happen!Merlin!

Seeing Lucius close his eyes calmly, I finally put down my wand, knowing that I couldn't do it at last: "You go—"

He looked at me puzzled, I turned around and said hopefully: "Give all your love to Draco, he will be proud of having a father like you."

He was stunned, and we were all silent for a while. A long time passed, until all the clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, and he said for the last time: "Take care!"

When the back of Lucius finally completely disappeared, I fumbled for the last cigarette from the pocket of my robe, lit it with my wand, and exhaled a circle of smoke.
