Hogwarts Emerald - Chapter 679
c679 To alert the snake
With this indifferent attitude and her disregard for Voldemort, Ada’s silence at this time was more powerful than her words just now.
Voldemort’s punch with full power hit a ball of cotton directly. The cotton ball was soft and had no feel at all. The Dark Lord was really angry. He swore he had never seen anyone so angry in his life!
If a person’s brain is not used for a long time, the brain will rust and become dull, and the same goes for the skills of the mouth.
Voldemort is a good example. He used to be a very charming and eloquent person, but now… his mind is full of fighting and killing. The once eloquent Tom Riddle has long disappeared.
“He was born into a poor family but is extremely smart. Both his parents are dead but he is wise and courageous. He is a prefect and a model student in the school.” This was how most people evaluated Voldemort when he was studying at Hogwarts.
At that time, Tom Riddle was still a fledgling. At that time, he was still the best actor in the wizarding world. He was a handsome, polite, good boy with excellent morals and academics, and the most talented student at Hogwarts.
But in fact, Tom Riddle has recruited a group of Slytherin students for himself, calling himself Voldemort, and has shown his cruel, arrogant, and violent side in private.
All this was only known to Albus Dumbledore, the Transfiguration Professor at the time, and everyone else was kept in the dark by Tom Riddle’s rhetoric. Many people still expected Tom to become the youngest Minister of Magic.
Today, more than fifty years later, Tom Riddle has long abandoned his name and become the feared Voldemort. His wish to make “wizards around the world afraid to mention his name” has been fulfilled.
However, not only the world has forgotten Tom Riddle, Voldemort has also forgotten his past self. The obsession with blood, power, and fear of death gradually drove Voldemort to extremes.
He is no longer eloquent or eloquent, but has become a complete terrorist with the Cruciatus Curse in his left hand and the Killing Curse in his right hand.
The night wind was strong, blowing Ada’s long golden hair, and the long hair fluttering at the temples covered her beautiful face.
At this moment, Voldemort suddenly became angry and suddenly sent a killing curse towards Ada. After the spell was cast, Voldemort felt much happier and his anger was vented.
However, it is unrealistic to defeat Ada with just a sneak attack. As a nanny with “the thickest blood and the most severe beatings”, sneak attacks will not work on her.
And who is Ada? She is an old sap player.
The Elder Wand was raised slightly, and the originally flat land under his feet suddenly rose, blocking the flying killing curse. The frozen soil was shattered by the Killing Curse, but in an instant it turned into a sharp spear and stabbed Voldemort.
Snape, who had been fighting for a long time, also took action at the same time, but his target was not Voldemort, but the transparent magic ball that protected Nagini.
Voldemort suddenly waved his robe sleeves, and the clay spear returned to the ground, and then hit Ada with another killing curse. Voldemort really couldn’t put it down for this single-point instant kill spell.
Ada ducked sideways, and the Elder Wand was raised again, triggering the double-casting gift of relief and shooting out. The two spells went at the same time, causing Snape’s scalp to tingle in shock.
The black robe disappeared in a flash, and Voldemort chose to dodge rather than forcefully resist.
Seeing the deep pit that exploded after the spell failed, Voldemort was also frightened, but fortunately he did not block it.
Ada and Voldemort kept attacking each other, the two wands were waved out of the afterimage, and the two people’s spell casting speed was equally astonishing. Not to mention the power of the spell, many wizards would be unable to parry the attack speed alone.
Although they were attacking each other, Ada and Voldemort had completely different ideas.
Voldemort’s idea was simple, to vent his anger. Voldemort was venting his anger and regaining his previous composure. Of course, it would be best if I could defeat Ada directly.
Ada’s idea is also very simple, containment. Ada wanted to fight Voldemort to contain him and give Snape a chance to kill Nagini.
Horcruxes were destroyed one after another, and Voldemort had increased his protection of Nagini. Snape’s failed sneak attack was even more alarming, and he was afraid that Voldemort would never let Nagini out of his sight again.
If we don’t take this opportunity to try to destroy Nagini again, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult and even more difficult later.
Ada and Voldemort were fighting fiercely, but Snape made no progress.
Snape kept waving his wand around, trying everything from ordinary spells to dark magic, but he still couldn’t break through the glass-like protective shield.
Fortunately, there is no hope at all. Under the continuous bombardment of spells, the protective spell formed by magic power is gradually weakening.
Nagini, who was equally angry, could do nothing but raise her snake’s head and make threatening hissing sounds.
With the idea of giving it a try, Snape’s wand spit out a small piece of black fire. The devil’s flames from hell instantly surrounded the protective shield, greedily devouring the magic power placed on the protective shield by Voldemort.
Nagini’s hiss became shrill, it was afraid of the black fire!
The beloved Nagini was in crisis, and Voldemort became anxious. The yew wand chopped from top to bottom, and the miserable green spell reflected his pale cheeks green.
Ada raised her left hand, and a golden shield instantly appeared to block the killing curse. The green light was annihilated, leaving only a chilling muffled sound.
When Ada wanted to fight back, Voldemort had already distanced himself from her and rescued Nagini again.
I saw Voldemort waving his wand, and the protective ball in the fierce fire lit up with a soft light. The extremely weakened protective shield became solid again and flew towards Voldemort.
Voldemort was not idle while waiting for Nagini to fly towards him. He first pointed his wand at Snape and forced him back with two consecutive spells, and then a black light with an ominous aura flew towards Ada.
Voldemort’s ominous spell suddenly exploded mid-flight, and a ball of flame exploded near Ada.
At the same time, Voldemort himself also received Nagini, who had escaped from Li Huo. He took the big snake and turned into black mist and flew away from here without any hesitation.
Ada, surrounded by flames as tall as a person, could only watch Voldemort leave, watching the best opportunity to kill Nagini leave. Feeling a little annoyed, Ada’s wand suddenly pressed down, and the fierce flames immediately dissipated.
Snape was also watching Voldemort go away. The former Potions Professor and the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor felt extremely regretful. If only he could be faster and stronger!
After about a minute, Snape unclenched his white-clenched fists and walked towards Ada who was standing aside.
“You…” The words of concern were only the beginning, and Snape swallowed back the rest of the words. The girl in front of him did not need his care, he was still saved by her.
“I’m fine.” Ada said, “It’s good that nothing happened to you.” Although she felt a little regretful, it would be great if Snape could be rescued in time.
For Ada, Snape is far more important than the Horcrux Nagini. There is still another chance to destroy the Horcrux Nagini, but Snape only has one life, and if it is gone, it is gone.
“Was what I just said to Voldemort not poisonous enough?” Ada suddenly asked.
Her words were an attack on Voldemort, but they were also an attempt to attract Voldemort’s hatred, hoping to downplay the Dark Lord’s concern for Nagini and instead amplify his murderous intention towards him.
Unexpectedly, Nagini’s importance was the first in Voldemort’s heart, and this hatred could not draw her away at all. Is it possible that Voldemort also knew that Nagini was once a girl, and a very beautiful girl?
The sudden and untimely question made Snape confused.
After pondering for a few seconds, Snape said: “I don’t know if it’s poisonous or not. Anyway, if I were him, I would be very angry. You won’t be able to escape after a semester of confinement…”
Snape’s voice became lower and lower until it finally became breathy.
Snape suddenly thought that he no longer had the power to confine Ada, not because Ada had left school, but because he was no longer a teacher at Hogwarts.
“Let’s go, things here are settled.” Ada said, “Let’s go back.”
“Go back? Go back to where?”
Ada glanced at Snape strangely and said matter-of-factly: “Of course it’s Hogwarts, where else could we go!”
