Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort - Chapter 256

c256 new prophecy

“Hedwig, how did you get here?”

Cyrus made a gesture before she fell to the ground. He released magic, dragged Hedwig and brought her to his side.

Hedwig seemed to have gone through a long journey. She looked very tired. Her feathers were a little messy and her expression was a little weak. She looked like she hadn’t eaten much for a few days.

Cyrus wanted to know what made her so urgent that she didn’t even care about eating in order to deliver the letter.

He cast a summoning spell, got some water and food, and let Hedwig have a good rest. Then, he took out the envelope she brought.

Not surprisingly, this was a letter from Harry.

Opening the envelope, Harry’s handwriting was very sloppy. He seemed to be very anxious to deliver the letter to Cyrus, so he didn’t even have time to write a formal greeting.

Of course, Cyrus didn’t care about these.

[Cyrus, I have to tell you something. It’s about the prophecy that you once let me pay attention to–】

Prophecy?

Cyrus was stunned.

He thought of how he had asked Harry to pay attention to whether there were any prophecies about him. The divination teacher at Hogwarts was a wizard with a real gift for language. Although her bloodline was already thin, she could always glimpse some future scenes and get inspiration without knowing it.

She predicted that Harry would become Voldemort’s enemy and destroy Voldemort.

It must be said that even with the intervention of Cyrus, this prophecy could not be said to be broken. In the matter of destroying Voldemort, Harry did play a role that made light of a heavy task.

Originally, the second prophecy made by Ms. Trelawney was related to Voldemort’s resurrection, but when Pettigrew had already returned to his master, that prophecy was not spoken from her mouth.

Now, a new prophecy has appeared again.

Without looking down, Cyrus had a hunch that this prophecy must be related to the god of death.

In fact, it was just as he expected.

The letter reads:

[The god of death is looking for his three sacrifices. No matter how time changes, He will get the souls He was supposed to get.

[They defeated the powerful enemy together and received the praise and gifts from the God of Death. The oldest one got the invincible Elder Wand. He praised the infinite magic power of the Elder Wand, but was secretly attacked and his life was taken away. ]

“The story of the God of Death and the three brothers?” Cyrus frowned. It sounded like this so-called prophecy was just a re-enactment of the story of the three brothers. He could recite the following content even without reading it down.

The second of the three brothers was an arrogant wizard. He was determined to humiliate the God of Death, so he asked the God of Death for the power to revive the dead. Later, he resurrected his deceased lover, but was tortured by his coldness and ruthlessness and chose to commit suicide.

Sure enough, the content of the prophecy written by Harry was also similar.

As for the third part, there was not so much content boasting about the wisdom of the third brother. The God of Death still took his third sacrifice, and then, the unstoppable death finally came to the world.

Cyrus suddenly had an indescribable feeling. He looked at this story that he had heard countless times, and felt that it seemed to be more than just a story.

“The prophecy talks about three sacrifices, not three brothers.” He thought, “Dumbledore was the first one. He held the most powerful old wand, but was killed by the death. The remaining two people will not be me and Grindelwald, right?”

This thought popped up in Cyrus’ mind.

“He will get the soul that originally belonged to him.” Cyrus repeated.

According to the original story, Dumbledore will indeed die, and not long after his death, Grindelwald will also be killed by Voldemort. In this way, the death will naturally take away the souls of both of them.

As for the third one…

[The invisibility cloak protects the third sacrifice, but he will eventually be alone and will be tested by death again at the end of his life]

[No one can escape the judgment of death]

“Is it me?”

In fact, because of his existence, Voldemort did not have time to carry out his reign of terror after his resurrection, and almost no wizards died tragically. He changed all this, so it is not surprising that the death would target him.

It’s just…

“My soul doesn’t belong to anyone.” Cyrus sneered.

Death?

It sounds like that, but what about the reality? Isn’t he just a guy who can only trip people up in secret?

If he dares to show up, Cyrus doesn’t mind competing with him!

After putting away the letter, Cyrus raised his head. He noticed that everyone in the courtroom was looking at him. They looked solemn and even worried. This made Cyrus laugh.

Obviously, when a person’s strength is strong enough, his every move will attract attention.

You don’t have to speak loudly, but the sound can be deafening.

“Mr. Cyrus, is there anything?” Babajid thought about it, hesitated again and again, and asked.

Although Cyrus just lowered his head to read a letter, his frowning and thoughtful look at that time scared many people. Who knows what was written in the letter? Cyrus seemed to be a person who could decide the life and death of the magic world. They could ignore anyone and anything, but they couldn’t ignore him.

“Nothing, Mr. Akinbade.” Cyrus said with a smile.

He did not intend to reveal the prophecy, but just said: “Mr. Ajinbad, thank you for defending me just now.”

The old wizard nodded. He looked very old, but he still had energy: “I just trust Dumbledore’s judgment.”

He said: “Albus believes in you, otherwise he would not cooperate with you.”

Even though Dumbledore is dead, his influence is still there. Especially those wizards who were in the same era as him, they understood the meaning of this name best.

Finally, Ajinbad pleaded with red eyes: “Can we find the murderer?”

“Of course, even if it’s just for myself, I will find him.” Cyrus nodded.

Slowly, those people left. Bella and Cassandra came up to him. Neither of them asked Cyrus what happened because they believed Cyrus could solve any problem.

It was Cassandra who asked, “Do you want me to kill that Nuno Busch?”

In response, Cyrus laughed. He shook his head and said sympathetically: “Why bother? He is pathetic enough without a brain.”

Meanwhile, at Hogwarts.

“I hope Cyrus can receive the letter soon,” Harry said.

Now, he still thinks of Trelawney’s madness that night. She seemed to be sleepwalking, and like a delirious madman, she walked to the tower where Dumbledore fell and muttered to herself.

At that time, the lower grade students were still taking astronomy class. The professor of the astronomy class was very surprised that Trelawney, who usually had been hiding in the tower, suddenly came down. As a result, she went crazy in the observatory. In the end, most of the students in the school were Ran over.

She turned a blind eye to the crowd of people watching her, her eyes were shining like the legendary Third Eye.

Then, Professor McGonagall hurriedly evacuated the crowd, and Harry and the others were lucky enough to stay and hear the prophecy.

This time, even Hermione, who least believed in divination, had nothing to say, and Trelawney fell into a coma soon after telling the prophecy, and is still lying in the school doctor’s office.

Apparently, her divination ability had backfired on her, and Madam Pomfrey didn’t feel so optimistic.

“Because what she predicted was not an ordinary person, but a god.” She guessed, “Trelawney’s magical power is not enough to support her blasphemy.”

Madam Pomfrey even believed that Trelawney could receive this revelation, perhaps as a warning from Death himself.

The prophet was unconscious, which cast a haze on Harry and others.

Without missing a moment, he wrote to Cyrus immediately.

“The prophecy may not come true.” Ginny said, “At least Cyrus will never die!”

She said it very forcefully and decisively. On the one hand, Ginny did have great confidence in Cyrus. So far, Cyrus has only lost one battle. That time he had just been resurrected and his magical power was far from its peak when he met Dumbledore holding the Elder Wand.

Cyrus hasn’t lost to anyone since.

Even if the opponent this time might be the God of Death, Ginny imagined that there would be no exceptions.

On the other hand, she is also giving herself confidence.

“If Grindelwald and Cyrus join forces, the chances of winning will be even greater,” Hermione said. Her eyes subconsciously looked towards the atrium of the castle. Everyone knew that Dumbledore was buried in that direction.

Ron shook his head, obviously scorning Hermione’s words: “Come on, he’s almost crazy.”

He was referring to Grindelwald.

“He wanders around the castle in filth every day, like a walking zombie. Do you know how many days he hasn’t cleaned himself up?” He said in disbelief, “If everyone hadn’t been afraid of him going crazy, someone would have killed him long ago. Kicked out.”

He told the truth.

In fact, Harry felt that Grindelwald now looked very much like a person. His beautiful eyes had long since lost their light, and they were as hollow as if someone had dug them out.

He was lifeless. When standing in the sun, he seemed to be lying in a cold, smelly ditch.

When Harry expressed his feelings about Grindelwald, Ginny, Hermione and Ron immediately thought of another person – Severus Snape.

Today, the prince’s story is no secret to the four of them.

Snape also met Harry’s mother again through the Resurrection Stone, and this time, Lily finally forgave him.

She had no reason not to forgive. Although Snape was the murderer who ruined their family’s happiness, they lived in the era ruled by Voldemort. Even if the Dark Lord didn’t know the prophecy, they might have died fighting the Death Eaters. .

At least now, Harry survived and Voldemort was finally dead.

Snape played a crucial role – Lily was very happy that her former friend could return from his lost ways. The regrets and unhappiness in the past had long since disappeared in the face of death, not to mention that she was not entirely fond of Snape. Terrible memory.

At least, in 1971, the boy who walked out of Spider-End Alley still gave her great childhood memories, preventing her from being isolated because of her abilities, and letting her know that having magical talents was not a bad thing.

Snape looked much better now than before. He finally seemed to crawl out of the soil, and sprouts sprouted again from his rotting body. Maybe he couldn’t fall in love with anyone else, but at least he knew he was still breathing.

“Maybe he will feel better after seeing Professor Dumbledore,” Ron said.

“No!” Harry shook his head vigorously.

He knew what Ron meant. There was a resurrection stone in Cyrus’s hand.

“Have you forgotten the prophecy?” Hermione also scolded, “And that fairy tale – if Grindelwald really used the Resurrection Stone to force Professor Dumbledore to stay in this world, then there would be no need to wait for Death to do it, he would do it himself It will go crazy first.”

A cold Dumbledore is suffocating to think about.

“I’m most worried about Cyrus,” Harry said. “I gave him my cloak.”

This statement made both Ginny and Hermione scream.

“What are you doing, Harry?” None of them understood why Harry did this. “The prophecy said that the cloak could not help him escape the fate of death.”

“You’re hurting him!” Ginny was angry.

But Harry shook his head.

“Haven’t you all discovered?” he said, “There are some prophecies, and sometimes the more you prevent it, the more likely it is to happen!”

“More than ten years ago, Voldemort thought he could strangle me when I was young. As a result, fragments of his soul fell into my head, and I became his weakness and the key to his death.

“It was his own choices that caused all of this to happen.” Harry said, “But if we go the other way and adapt to all of this, maybe there will be a turn for the better.”

After he finished speaking, the other people were silent for a while, and then Ron said:

“You’re starting to sound more like Dumbledore, Harry.”

This brought the topic to the ground again.

Harry was wondering, wasn’t he? Are you starting to sound more and more like Dumbledore?

Soon, he realized that this was indeed the case.

If it were before, he wouldn’t have thought so much, but now, he tried to think from a different perspective and tried to find the answer in another way, but he still realized the difference between him and Dumbledore.

He didn’t become as smart as Dumbledore, but became cowardly.

He had to admit that he was scared.

But he can even overcome death and even take his own life, so what else is there to be afraid of?

He asked himself, and soon got an answer.

There is nothing terrible about his own death, it can even be said that he has already died once. But he was afraid that one day he would wake up and hear the news of Cyrus’ death, not only Cyrus, but also Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville… and many others.

Before this, he had never thought that these people would leave him.

But Dumbledore’s death told him that this was not the case. Anyone could die, even the greatest wizard could not escape death.

That was Death, the Death who made the Deathly Hallows, the Death who killed Dumbledore…
