Chapter 867 Snake Cave and the World of Life and Death
In the hall of Riddle House, Snape gradually broke away from the memories of the past, clenched the wand in his hand, and prepared to complete the last task assigned to him by Dumbledore, to kill the big snake Nagini...
If he was not mistaken, this should also be the seventh Horcrux that Voldemort will destroy!
In addition to Harry, Hufflepuff's gold cup may have been destroyed by Ivan. The evidence is that after Voldemort learned that Gringotts was breached by the "Dark Lord", he was furious and asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of this thing. .
If Voldemort fails to make a new Horcrux during this period, then after he kills Nagini, Voldemort will lose his immortality. Once he loses in the battle, what awaits him is eternal death!
"What a pity..." Snape sighed. If arranged properly, he could completely eradicate Voldemort with the help of Ivan Hals.
But at the beginning, he was very worried about something happening midway, so he didn't dare to involve the other party. Now he can only watch this opportunity pass by.
Sighing secretly, Snape quickly adjusted his mentality. There was no need to push too far. The core of this plan was to remove Harry's Horcrux identity, and secondly, to ensure the safety of the two of them. Too many risky moves would only increase the risk. He is more likely to be exposed...
"It's time to take action..." Snape glanced at Harry who was lying on the ground unconscious. After thinking about it, he cast a Disillusionment Curse on him with his backhand, took a deep breath, and used The magic dragged Harry and walked together towards the basement of Riddle House.
Since the attack on Gringotts more than a month ago, Voldemort had hidden Nagini. Even he didn't know the specific location, but Snape guessed that Nagini was still in this room.
After all, Voldemort doesn't have that many trustworthy people to build a second safe house, and Harry has the ability to sense the big snake. Even if Voldemort puts Nagini in the deep mountains and old forests, Ivan will still - Hals was found out.
As for why you need to take Harry with you during the action?
Of course, because Voldemort could come back at any time, he didn't have the time to move Harry to a safe place and then return to carry out the mission. It would be better to just take the unconscious Harry with him, which would be more convenient when the time comes!
As Voldemort's "most loyal" subordinate, Snape was very aware of the deep connection between Nagini and Voldemort.
Snape estimated that when he attacked it, Voldemort would sense it, so he had to move quickly throughout the whole process. He had to kill Nagini and successfully retreat within a few minutes!
While thinking about countermeasures in his mind, Snape walked towards the depths of the mansion. A strange whining sound came from the ground. Snape's spirit was shocked. He knew that he had guessed correctly. , Nagini is indeed still hiding in this room.
However, as he gradually got closer, Snape soon realized something was wrong. The low hissing sound was gradually becoming louder and noisier. The stone tiles on the ground were covered with slippery slime. After seeing the scene ahead clearly, Snape couldn't help but tremble all over.
Tens of thousands of snakes of different sizes are crowded together in a room of 100 square meters. Looking around, there is a scene of big snakes twisting their bodies and entangled with each other...
…
Am I dead?
Harry was floating in the air, asking himself over and over again in his heart. He couldn't feel everything in the outside world, but what was very strange was that his consciousness was awake, so he clearly remembered that he was killed by Voldemort. The curse struck...
By the way, there is Snape, he betrayed everyone... Harry suddenly thought of this, and a wave of anger rushed into his brain, forcing him to open his eyes.
All he could see was a vast expanse of white. He looked around and felt like he was lying in a bright mist, surrounded by hazy, illusory and ethereal...
Harry sat up quickly, and then noticed a more serious problem - he was naked!
Although there seemed to be no one else here, this discovery still made him feel embarrassed. He immediately forgot to think about whether he was dead or alive, eager to find a piece of clothing.
For some unknown reason, when he came up with this idea, a robe had already appeared next to him. Without thinking too much, Harry quickly put the clothes on, and then he was in the mood to explore where he was.
Could this be what happens after death? Harry stared around, remembering the robe that suddenly appeared just now, and realized that he seemed to be able to control this place...
Sure enough, when his thoughts arose, the surrounding scene changed according to his thoughts. The white fog gradually receded, and a tall, bright hall soon appeared in front of his eyes.
Everything was just as he imagined, except for the strange object that appeared inexplicably not far in front of him.
Harry walked a few steps and saw clearly that it was a naked child. The red skin was very rough and looked like it had been peeled off. He was lying on a seat shivering. Below he was struggling to breathe.
Harry was very scared. Although the thing was petite and weak, it still frightened him.
After hesitating for a while, Harry mustered up the courage to move over little by little.
The weird baby-sized child was curled up on the ground, letting out low whimpers. Harry didn't dare to get too close, but he could actually feel its pain.
"You can't help it, Harry."
A gentle, familiar voice came from behind him, and Harry turned his head in surprise. Dumbledore, wearing a dark blue robe, was walking towards him.
Harry forgot all other things for a moment and spoke anxiously. "Professor, Snape... Snape betrayed us, and he also brought me to Voldemort... and then Voldemort used the killing curse on me..."
"You can speak slowly, Harry, we have plenty of time." Dumbledore comforted softly, and then continued. "In fact, I'm very curious about what happened in the magical world during my absence."
Harry's excitement calmed down a little, and he told all the things that happened after Dumbledore's death from the beginning, and focused on Snape's betrayal of his trust and bringing him to Voldemort.
Dumbledore listened quietly and did not express any opinions. It was not until Harry finished speaking that he suddenly apologized. "I hope you can forgive his behavior, Harry."
"What?!" Harry was stunned for a moment.
"Because Severus did this according to my instructions." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said in praise. "I have to say, he did a great job, at least much better than I expected!"
