Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 584
c582 Snape arrives
With the help of the invisibility cloak, Harry arrived in Iceland by bus, subway and plane very smoothly.
It wasn’t until he set foot on Iceland that Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also very emotional.
Although this invisibility cloak brought him so much trouble, it also had its benefits.
At least it would cost him nothing to use Muggle transportation.
Of course, Harry encountered a lot of troubles along the way.
For example, someone almost discovered his presence on the crowded subway.
Another example is that when he climbed over the fence during the security check, the process was very thrilling. He had to carefully cover the corners of his clothes to prevent himself from being exposed.
Compared with these two things, the rare fact that the plane is full and there are no empty seats can only be said to be not worth mentioning.
With a long sigh of relief, Harry put on his invisibility cloak and walked out towards the airport exit.
Although it is already summer, the weather in this hellish place in Iceland is still cold. Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night here is huge, which is very unfriendly for first timers.
But none of this has anything to do with Harry. He is a wizard, and with the Warming Charm, he doesn’t need to worry about temperature issues at all.
What really bothered him was the crowds coming and going.
Yes, it’s the crowd.
In Harry’s impression, Iceland was a place that was off the beaten path and where no birds had a chance to poop.
Deserted is the most appropriate adjective to describe this place.
But when he came to Iceland, he discovered that this was not the case.
The density of people coming and going at the airport is even comparable to that in London.
Harry would not know that thanks to the Icelandic government’s support for the tourism and immigration industries, Iceland is now gradually moving in the direction of a tourist destination, which has resulted in a large population in several core cities in Iceland.
Of course, aside from the so-called core cities, the rest of Iceland is still barren wilderness and frozen soil.
On this side, Harry carefully followed the crowd and left the airport.
Like other airports, there are a large number of taxis gathered outside this airport.
And watching the crowd walking in front of him being slowly digested by the taxi, Harry could only stand there blankly.
Unlike public transportation such as buses and subways, taxis are not something he can do just by wearing an invisibility cloak.
Staring blankly at the long queue of taxis that gradually drove away, Harry could only embark on the journey alone with a dejected look on his face.
Although he had made countless heroic promises before setting off, at this moment facing this completely unfamiliar place, Harry’s heart was filled with a feeling of loss.
To be honest, he started to regret it a little.
But soon Harry shook his head violently, getting rid of the bad thoughts, and strengthened his belief again.
‘There is no turning back for you! ’
With this in mind, Harry found the right direction and started walking towards the wilderness outside the city.
He planned to follow his plan, stay away from the city, go to the wilderness to find a forest, and then build a wooden house to survive alone.
This is a very difficult thing for ordinary people, but Harry has absolute confidence in himself.
After all, he is a wizard.
With the help of magic, he didn’t need to worry about water sources and a series of other things that would make ordinary people desperate.
And he brought a “Wildness Survival Manual”. With the help of this book and magic, it is easy to survive alone in the wild.
Imagining the scene of living alone in the wild without restraint, Harry seemed a little excited and his steps became brisk.
He has even begun to fantasize about being able to mingle with the local wildlife in Iceland, hunting seals with polar bears, watching the aurora with penguins, galloping on elk, or finding some snow fairies and trading with them. Wine and food.
As for whether there are any of the above-mentioned animals in Iceland, Harry doesn’t know, but this does not prevent him from having endless fantasies about the future.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, this was not so much a great escape as a long picnic.
Driven by his good mood, Harry quickly left the city.
Then, the smile that had been on his face since the beginning disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion.
Reality slapped him hard in the face. There were no large groups of wild animals outside the cities in Iceland, and there were no forests everywhere.
There is only endless wilderness as far as the eye can see, and a winding highway with no cars on it.
Rubbing his somewhat stuffy chest, Harry continued to walk forward. Now he could only hope that there would be a different scenery ahead.
It’s a pity that he walked for more than half an hour without seeing any living creatures or large tracts of forest.
And just when Harry was starting to feel a little desperate, a small figure appeared on the horizon in the distance.
This excited Harry so much that he immediately took off his invisibility cloak and ran towards the man.
What excited him was that the other party seemed to have noticed him and began to speed towards him.
As the distance between the two grew closer, the smile on Harry’s face grew brighter.
Because he could clearly see that the person running towards him on the opposite side was not a magical creature or a mirage, but a real human being and an Asian man with yellow hair!
Although the other person’s image is a bit weird, this is the first human being he has met in more than half an hour. Through that person, he may be able to find a suitable place to start his journey of survival in the wilderness.
“Oh my God! I’m so happy to see you! My friend…”
Harry shouted excitedly, but he suddenly got stuck in the middle of his words, and the smile on his face turned into fear.
Because he discovered that the Asian man with yellow hair moved so fast that he almost dragged out the afterimage.
Moreover, although he had arrived less than fifty meters in front of Harry, he had no intention of asking for a speed bump!
It felt like the other party wanted to knock him to death!
“who are you!”
Harry roared heart-breakingly, and at the same time, he moved his fingers slightly, and a wand appeared out of thin air in his hand.
However, he received no response to his question. Instead of slowing down to respond, the yellow-haired Asian had a sinister smile on his face.
Then, under Harry’s horrified gaze, the man suddenly stretched out his arm, and then the muscles and clothing on the arm began to twist and deform in a way that was heartbreaking, and finally turned into a… A sharp blade with a gleaming handle.
Harry understood everything now. The Asian man appearing in front of him at this moment was none other than Victor’s mechanical clone.
Only Victor in this world would pursue him so closely, and only Victor would use such a weird transformation!
For a moment, Harry’s face turned pale, and he knew very well that he was no match for the other party.
But that doesn’t mean he has to sit back and wait for death!
“Expelliarmus!”
A red light flashed from the wand in Harry’s hand and shot straight towards the Victor clone that was charging towards him.
This is the first dueling spell Harry has learned, and it is also the most proficient offensive spell he has used.
However, how could such a simple attack hit the target easily?
I saw Victor stepping on his feet, and the speeding figure suddenly changed direction and easily dodged the red light.
Then, Harry’s next curse arrived.
This time, he obviously learned the lesson from the last time. Instead of using a straight beam spell, he used deformation, turning the entire ground between the two of them into a swamp.
It has to be said that Harry does have some talent in the transfiguration technique, and he used this transfiguration technique very well.
But it was still not enough to see in front of Victor. Victor’s clone just jumped lightly, and relied on the inertia brought by high-speed movement and strong body strength to easily cross this large swamp. Arriving above Harry.
Immediately afterwards, the corner of Victor’s clone’s mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and the sharp blade transformed from his right arm was raised high and slashed at Harry!
This frightened Harry greatly. From the movements of Victor’s clone, he felt endless killing intent.
He knew very well that the other party had no intention of capturing him alive.
Everything the other party did was to kill him!
The fear of death caused Harry’s body to begin to tremble violently. He wanted to do something with the wand in his hand, but at this moment his stiff limbs could not move.
In the end, Harry could only grit his teeth and close his eyes, waiting for death to come.
“ting!~”
A crisp sound of metal colliding came from above Harry’s head, causing Harry’s ears to hurt.
But what surprised Harry was that there was no pain in his body.
He reached out his hand and groped around his body in confusion, but still didn’t find any injuries, and then hesitantly opened his eyes.
At this moment, what caught his eyes was the clone controlled by Victor.
But what was different from the menacing appearance before was that he was actually lying on the ground at this moment, and there was a terrifying slash mark on his body, which spread from his neck to his lower body, almost killing him. The whole person was cut into two pieces.
But the strange thing is that Victor’s clone, which suffered such horrific injuries, is still struggling to move, and there is no blood on the scene.
Harry turned his head in confusion and saw that what appeared inside the horrific wound was not black-red blood and colorful internal organs, but a large flat piece of silver-white metal.
Moreover, those metals seemed to still have life, and were constantly flowing like liquid at this moment, pulling on the huge wounds and slowly repairing themselves.
This unexpected scene immediately made Harry overjoyed. After reacting, he turned around and rushed towards the city.
Although he said he didn’t want to harm innocent people, when things came to pass, the fear of death still made him instinctively flee towards the place where the crowd gathered.
Unfortunately, he had just taken a few steps when a big, slender hand with five fingers grabbed his back collar and dragged him back fiercely.
“ah!”
The huge force coming from his neck made Harry scream. When he looked up, he saw a wizard wearing black robes, with a hooked nose and greasy hair.
“Snape! Why are you here?”
Harry yelled in surprise.
He never expected that he would meet Snape here. When he thought about it, Snape should be in his own laboratory and continue tinkering with potions.
But then a terrible suspicion arose in his mind.
“Are you here to steal the Deathly Hallows too?”
Harry used a question, but his tone was extremely certain.
Because other than this, he couldn’t think of any reason for Snape to be here.
However, facing his question, Snape glanced at him with the contemptuous look that Harry was most familiar with, and said disdainfully:
“idiot!”
After saying that, he put Harry down and then continued:
“Just stay here and don’t go anywhere. Do you understand?”
Harry nodded when he heard this, but as soon as he landed on the ground, he spread his legs and ran wildly.
But unfortunately, Harry did not master the fast movement spell similar to the Apparition spell, so he was soon captured by Snape again.
“I told you to stand still and don’t move! Don’t you understand?”
Snape got close to Harry’s face and growled at him close up.
Harry gritted his teeth and glared at Snape with his green eyes.
Harry’s eyes were filled with moisture brewing from fear, which made the green in his eyes become more vivid.
Snape looked at those eyes, with an angry expression on his face. He was stunned for a moment, and then explained in a much more relaxed tone:
“Maybe you should use your troll brain to think about it! How do you know he is the only one who comes to kill you? What if he has accomplices and you happen to be too far away from me and I can’t save you in time? ”
Hearing this, the muscles on Harry’s face twitched twice, he grinned, and said in a sarcastic tone:
“So, you are here to protect me?”
Snape was silent. He looked down at Harry’s disgusting face. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:
“Yes! So stay here for me!”
Harry snorted coldly, looking very unconvinced on the surface, but after Snape let go, he had no intention of running away.
Don’t get me wrong, Harry doesn’t smell great.
In fact, he had never imagined Snape’s words from the beginning to the end. In his opinion, if Dumbledore was still alive, Snape might still be able to protect himself because of Dumbledore’s orders, but now Dumbledore With Lido gone, Snape wouldn’t be so kind.
The reason why he stayed was because he saw that Snape wanted to capture him alive.
You must know that although both Victor and Snape were aiming for the invisibility cloak in his hand, the former wanted to kill him directly.
In this case, it would be better to listen to Snape first, and then laugh and watch their dog eat dog.
While Harry was thinking about the pros and cons, Victor not far away also completed his self-repair and slowly stood up.
