Chapter 926 Harry is discovered

There is a saying that when Snape said the name Grindelwald, not only Voldemort was silent, but even Kyle, who was eavesdropping outside, was confused.

What's the situation? Why did Snape suddenly mention Grindelwald? He has been out of the wizarding world for almost seventy years. He never leaves Nurmengard without stepping back. This is a bit unreasonable. Bar.

However, Lucius seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. After a moment of silence, he began to echo Snape's words frantically.

"Yes, Master, Severus is right, it must be him!"

"Draco...he can't have the Elder Wand."

"Master, Draco..."

"Quiet, Lucius." Voldemort's voice was soft but unmistakable.

Lucius Malfoy immediately did not dare to speak anymore, and Kyle could only hear the dull sound of footsteps coming from the room.

"Give me an explanation, Severus." Voldemort asked: "Why should I believe you, an imprisoned loser? What qualifications does he have to control the Elder Wand? Or, you don't want Draco to help me. Take control of the Elder Wand.

"If I remember correctly, you seem to be Draco's godfather."

Kyle suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from the room opposite, blowing on his body like a knife.

There was no emotion in Voldemort's voice, and there was an undisguised murderous intent. He could feel that as long as Snape said the wrong thing...or Voldemort thought that he said the wrong thing, he would not hesitate. to kill him.

The rustling crawling sound from before appeared again, this time accompanied by frequent hissing sounds, as if several snakes were spitting messages at the same time.

It looked like it was the rune snake Harry was talking about, and it was also a Horcrux that Voldemort carried with him.

In fact, the rune snake is also related to Kyle.

Originally, the Horcrux should have belonged to the blood-cursed orc named Nagini...a snake transformed by a pure-blood wizard, and also the perfect container that Voldemort loved most.

Voldemort was very demanding in selecting Horcruxes, and could even be said to be perfectionistic.

Except for the first training diary, his remaining Horcruxes...the crown, the golden cup, the locket, and the resurrection stone are all legendary treasures with special significance.

Therefore, as the last Horcrux he chose, of course he couldn't take it lightly.

Blood-cursed orcs are rare, and snake-like blood-cursed orcs are even rarer. Although Nagini is a snake, he is essentially a pure-blood wizard. Even if he is made into a Horcrux, his soul of Voldemort will not be tarnished. .

What a perfect container, Voldemort was so satisfied.

Unfortunately, this container was taken away from him, and on the night he returned from resurrection, he was forcefully dragged away from him by Kyle.

There was no conspiracy, just an unreasonable robbery with Dumbledore by his side.

Voldemort also searched for it, but found nothing. Nagini seemed to have disappeared from the world, and all traces of magic he left behind were wiped clean.

Having no choice but to find Nagini, Voldemort resorted to the next best thing and chose the largest rune snake in the Albanian forest as his Horcrux.

This is why he hates Kyle so much.

The hatred between Voldemort and Harry stems from fate, and they must kill each other... and the relationship between Voldemort and Harry is purely new and old hatreds that have accumulated little by little.

The gold content is quite high.

…

"Although this is just my guess, I think it is very likely." Snape's calm voice came from the room. He was not nervous because of Voldemort's attitude.

"You are confident, Severus."

"I just thought of it," Snape said, "Master, you must know that the owner of the Elder Wand was once the dark wizard. Dumbledore defeated him and took away the Elder Wand as a trophy."

"Of course I know that."

"That's what I want to say." Snape continued: "You defeated Dumbledore and took the Elder Wand from him, and the situation was almost exactly the same as it was then."

Even if he couldn't see the situation in the room, Kyle could guess that the expression on Voldemort's face must be very proud at this time.

Although he used some dishonorable means, he did defeat Dumbledore and took away his wand. This is true and a victory worth remembering.

"But you do not control the Elder Wand."

Snape's voice continued.

"And this happened before Draco killed Dumbledore. From this point of view, defeating the opponent does not gain the favor of the Elder Wand, only killing him can."

"Severus, I never knew you liked to say such useless things."

Voldemort said coldly, "That's why I need Draco's help."

"But Master, Grindelwald is still alive." Snape said.

His words also caused the room to fall into silence again.

"According to our inference, if the Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its previous owner, then Dumbledore, who did not kill Grindelwald, naturally cannot own the Elder Wand.

"Maybe he, like you, is just for temporary use..."

"Bang bang!"

Something seemed to be smashed in the house, a series of explosions sounded, a hole was blown out of the door of the passage, and something seemed to have rubbed Kyle's hair.

But Kyle stood there, motionless.

Although he had been thinking about how to make the crack in the door bigger so that he could see clearly what was going on inside, he didn't want to make the crack so big.

He could even see Voldemort's face clearly, that pale, snake-like face.

Snape was opposite him, with a calm expression. Lucius was kneeling on the ground, hugging the frightened Draco tightly. His face was as pale as marble. If you only looked at his appearance, it would be difficult to imagine that he was actually a person. living person.

Kyle was a little nervous, not sure whether Voldemort could see through his disguise. He could only hope that he couldn't...

Fortunately, Voldemort's mind was on another matter and he did not look back, nor did he notice that there was an entrance to such a secret passage in the room.

Kyle breathed a sigh of relief. Just in case, he took two steps back gently and hid himself in a corner, further away from the door.

In the room, Voldemort was pondering something, and he suddenly felt that Snape's words made sense.

Yes, Dumbledore didn't kill Grindelwald, so how could he have the Elder Wand.

But in this case, wouldn't his carefully arranged act of snatching the Elder Wand from his hand become a joke?

Voldemort's face turned green and red, and a sense of humiliation of being played suddenly came to his heart. He could no longer control his emotions and waved the wand in his hand.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

Lucius and Draco fell to the ground at the same time, their whole bodies curled up into a ball, their hands clutching their necks, and a terrible huffing sound came from their throats.

To Voldemort, casting the Cruciatus Curse on two targets at the same time was as easy as eating.

Snape was watching from the side, with an indifferent expression, as if what was suffering was not his friend and godson, but two bugs that could be seen everywhere.

Narcissa had fainted before, but she escaped this time.

Kyle heard a sudden heavy breathing in front of him. It should be that one of the three Harrys was frightened by Voldemort's Cruciatus Curse and subconsciously made a sound.

This made his heart skip a beat, and he looked nervously at Voldemort's side face in the room.

fine……

The painful whimpers of the Malfoys echoed in the room, and Voldemort was unaware of the movement.

"Do you think I should go to Nurmengard, Severus?"

After an unknown amount of time, Voldemort finally calmed down and lifted the Cruciatus Curse from Lucius and Draco.

But they were still lying on the ground, opening and closing their mouths as if begging for mercy.

"Master, we have seen it many times. I don't think anyone else can be your match for the superb and extraordinary magic you perform with this wand."

"But Harry Potter is still alive." The Elder Wand turned at Voldemort's fingertips.

"My yew wand obeyed me perfectly, but it failed to kill Harry Potter. Once it failed, once I felt its resistance.

"Can you believe it, Severus, Harry Potter actually blocked one of the Dark Lord's attacks with a ridiculous disarming spell. My wand didn't want to attack him."

Snape lowered his head and said nothing.

Kyle was thinking about when Harry and Voldemort had met.

The failure is easy to understand. It was more than ten years ago when Voldemort was killed by the rebound of his own death curse.

So what is the conflict?

To be honest, Kyle didn't remember Harry and Voldemort ever coming face to face... except for the Triwizard Tournament.

He remembered that when he was transported to the unknown hill by the Triwizard Cup that was converted into a portkey, Voldemort had completed his resurrection ceremony and controlled Harry.

Maybe the two of them had briefly fought before he went there.

Needless to say, the result was that Harry was completely defeated, otherwise he would not have been controlled.

"I don't want that to happen a third time." Voldemort walked to the rune snake and traced his finger across its middle head.

"Ollivander told me about my brother's wand under torture and told me to use someone else's wand."

"I am willing to serve you." Without any hesitation, Snape took out his wand and handed it over respectfully.

But Voldemort didn't move.

"Then can you guarantee that your wand has no so-called 'brothers'?" Voldemort picked up the wand between two fingers, looked at it for a while, and then put it down again.

Snape shook his head.

He didn't know much about wands at all, and he didn't even know what a brother wand was. It couldn't possibly be the core of a wand from the same magical animal.

A dragon's heart tendon can make at least five wands, and a unicorn's is even more exaggerated. One tail hair can make three wand cores, and it is not a one-time use. Three or five wands can be taken every year.

Is it possible that these wands can't attack each other?

The wizarding world has long been in chaos. After all, there are not many unicorns in the UK.

Or it might be the characteristic of phoenix tail feathers. As far as he knew, Voldemort's and Harry's wands both had phoenix tail feather cores.

He didn't know what was going on, so he wisely kept silent.

"None of us knows whether the wand in our hand has a brother with deep feelings." Voldemort said softly: "So I need a most special wand...for example, the old man who will not pity anyone and only respects strength. Magic wand, destiny stick...

"Do you understand? Severus."

"Yes, Master," Snape said, quickly putting away his wand.

"But Master, if you go to Nurmengard, what should we do about the battle here? Our attack is being disrupted by them."

"What disappointing news." Voldemort said softly, "My most elite troops, the noble Death Eaters, actually fell in front of a group of teachers, half-bloods and mudbloods.

"Severus, do you think I still need such trash?"

"This is because... we were betrayed." Snape hesitated. "Those wandering wizards rebelled. Not only did they leak our battle plan, but they also attacked us from behind."

"Barbolenis..." Voldemort's hand stopped on the head of the rune snake, his scarlet eyes full of anger, "He will know how heavy the price is to pay for betraying the Dark Lord.

"Well, even waste has its value. It would be a pity to throw it all away."

"It's time to end this farce." Voldemort stood up, looked at Draco Malfoy lying on the ground, and flicked the wand on his fingertips.

After hesitating for a moment, he did not choose to kill the other party.

Not out of pity, but they are still useful.

Of course, if the trip to Nurmengard didn't get the results he wanted, he would still kill Draco without hesitation.

"Let me find the boy, Master." Snape continued: "I will bring Potter to you. I know he is in the castle."

"No, Severus, Harry Potter is not important, the real problem is the other boy." Voldemort said calmly: "I hope you can bring him to me, you know what I'm saying is who."

"But Master, Harry Potter..."

"I said he's not important." Voldemort interrupted, "It's a very interesting thing. Do you remember what we just said?

I say none of you know Potter as well as I do, he will bring himself to the door, I know his weakness, he is unwilling to watch others being knocked down around him, and will do anything to stop it.

"I let him find the opportunity to kill me, and took the initiative to expose my weakness. You see, and then he came as expected."

"boom!"

Without any warning, the entrance to the secret passage suddenly exploded, blowing the door to pieces.

Harry and Ron were thrown to the ground by the explosion, and the invisibility cloak was ripped off their bodies, and then Hermione was also exposed.

Only Kyle, who had changed his position in advance, was not affected by the explosion because he was blocked by a stone wall at the corner.

Seeing the three people who suddenly appeared, everyone in the room had different expressions. Lucius and Draco had numb faces.

Of course, they had always had this expression before Harry came, or everyone would look like this after being tortured by Voldemort with the Cruciatus Curse.

Narcissa was still unconscious, and not even the explosion could wake her up.

But Snape's expression was wonderful. He seemed not to have expected Harry to appear here. His mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide, and he subconsciously took out his wand.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but although he was looking at Harry, the tip of his staff was faintly facing Voldemort's back.

But he quickly adjusted the position of the wand, and no one present noticed this, including Voldemort himself.

At this moment he was looking at the disgraced Harry with interest.

"I've been wondering why you didn't come, Potter." Voldemort turned his head, "I thought I didn't know you well enough, I thought you were afraid, but I didn't expect you to find another way that I didn't know."

He looked at the secret passage.

"It seems I still understand you, right..."

"Run!"

Without any hesitation, Harry, Ron, and Hermione began to roll and crawl towards the direction behind them.

Because they knew that Voldemort would definitely kill them if they stayed here.

Harry blamed himself, he had been fooled again.

He saw the rune snake and came over excitedly, completely unaware that Voldemort was here.

Even if he discovered it later, he did not run away immediately, but hid there and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"sorry……"

Ron apologized as he ran, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't made the noise, the mysterious man would never have discovered us."

"Stop talking about this now!" Hermione's leg was cut open by a sharp stone, but she seemed not to feel it and ran towards the exit quickly.

She had a plan in mind, very bold, but it might seriously harm Voldemort.

That's the Whomping Willow at the entrance to the passage.

She knew that plant was very special, especially powerful.

If any wizard is whipped by its branches, even the professors at Hogwarts will be injured.

Therefore, only Professor Sprout, who is proficient in herbal medicine, can take care of it on weekdays.

It is not difficult to tell from what Voldemort just said that he did not know that there was a secret passage in Hogwarts that led directly to the Shrieking Shack, and naturally he did not know what was at the entrance of the secret passage.

This is their chance.

If they could run out first and anger the Whomping Willow, they might not be able to give Voldemort a surprise.

Being whipped hard by a branch thicker than an arm would definitely be uncomfortable even for Voldemort... Hermione thought to herself.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they can run out of the passage before being caught by Voldemort.

"Merlin please..." Hermione prayed in her mind and quickened her pace again.

For the first time, she felt that it was good that the passage was narrower, at least it could slow down Voldemort's pursuit of them.

The three of them ran all the way, but if any of them could look back at this time, they would find that there was actually no one chasing them.

Well, that's not the case. Voldemort and Snape were indeed chasing the three of them, but it was a little different from what they imagined.

Voldemort was walking leisurely in the secret passage as if he was taking a walk, and he had no intention of catching them immediately, just like a hunter playing with his prey.
