"What about the students in the school? I remember that the school was still in session yesterday." Hermione asked Moody nervously after going down two flights of stairs, "Where are they now? Have they left here?"

"All the students are in the castle, because we really didn't expect that Voldemort would directly launch the Armageddon today." A trace of regret flashed across Moody's face, "The result of our discussion with Albus last night is that today Voldemort will be in the magic If the Ministry fights us, at most some Death Eaters will come to Hogwarts to harass and drag down the people in the castle."

"So we thought it might be safer for the students to stay in the Hogwarts castle, but just to make sure nothing major would go wrong. We still had most of the guards in Azkaban to protect the castle. That's why The reason why we can persist until now, if we only rely on the professors, the protective layer would have been broken five or six minutes ago."

At this time, they had quickly walked into the foyer of the auditorium, where the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall, was standing here directing several senior students to set up defense lines in the castle. After hearing the sound of the stairs, she turned her head and saw everyone who was going downstairs.

"Ryan, Lupine, how did you get in?" Professor McGonagall first showed an excited smile, and then quickly turned into disbelief. "I remember that all the secret passages were blocked."

"There is one left that basically no one knows about. Its entrance is in the Pig's Head Bar." Ryan said, "This is what Aberforth, the younger brother of Principal Dumbledore, told us today."

"There is still a usable passage, which is great." McGonagall let out a long sigh of relief, and then said to the two senior students standing there. "Seamus, you and Neville are going to call Professor Flitwick now, and then go to the basement kitchen with him to take the junior students hiding there to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, where there is a passage leading to the Pig's Head Bar, I will Send a few statues to help you."

"By the way," Ryan stopped them and handed over a pink gem the size of a thumb as he watched Seamus and the man prepare to set off after receiving the order. "When you open the door, just think we need a way to the Pig's Head Bar. Remember to bring this gem, as long as this gem is in the room, those traps will not activate. Two minutes after the gem leaves or the person holding the gem closes the door trap. will be reactivated."

"Understood." Seamus nodded, took the gem and ran towards the kitchen, while Neville ran out of the gate to inform Professor Flitwick who was in the courtyard now,

"Okay, follow me to the courtyard." After watching the two men running towards their respective goals, Professor McGonagall said to Ryan and his group of reinforcements. "We'd better procrastinate for a while longer and give those lower grade students enough time to evacuate."

"Understood, Professor McGonagall." Ryan and the others said in unison, and then raised their wands and aimed at the shield in the sky to inject their own strength. With their help, the already shaken shield stabilized once again.

The next ten minutes were a pure tug-of-war. The Death Eaters outside directed the obsidian puppets to beat on the protective cover, and at the same time, they continued to release magic to the protective cover to consume the magic power in the protective cover. And Ryan and the others added magic power to the shield from time to time to make up for those that were consumed, and the battle situation became stalemate.

"My mission is complete." Just after Ryan and the others injected a batch of energy into the magic shield, Professor Flitwick walked out of the gate of the castle with Seamus, Neville and seven or eight armors. "Those lower grade students were sent out by me, they should be safe now."

"That's good, that's good." Professor McGonagall relaxed a lot with the naked eye, but at this moment, a few strong lights suddenly shot from a distance and hit the protective cover, which was translucent like frosted glass. Immediately a large number of cracks appeared.

Under everyone's nervous eyes, these cracks spread faster and faster, and the area covered by them became larger and larger. Finally, when the cracks covered the entire protective cover, the entire protective cover turned into fragments all over the sky like a light bulb that fell on the ground.

"Is Voldemort crazy?" As a wizard of the same level as Voldemort, Ryan knew that the curse that shattered Hogwarts Castle with one blow was definitely not a simple release. When this kind of decisive battle broke out, he gave up his reason and went straight to the present step at the cost of huge consumption.

But soon Ryan figured out the reason, because as the protective cover was shattered, a strange, mournful scream was also heard by everyone. As a person who can understand Parseltongue, Ryan recognized that the content of Voldemort's cry was a name: Nagini.

"This is, what happened to Voldemort's snake?" After being instilled with knowledge before, Hermione naturally understood Voldemort's roar. To her surprise, from Voldemort's roar, she could hear that something bad happened to the Horcrux Nagini, which was supposed to be the main focus of this battle.

"I'm not too sure." Ryan shook his head. "But something must have happened. The blow just now was not something that could be done simply. What he did must be because of some important problem with Nagini that caused him to lose control of his emotions for a while. Of course, from that roar It can also be heard that he is indeed in extreme anger right now."

Ryan and their guesses were very close to reality, and now Voldemort was standing in a room on the Quidditch pitch. There was a mess in front of him: Nagini, who should have been quietly staying in the protective cover, had turned into a snake-shaped black ash on the ground, and a silver dagger inlaid with rubies was thrown aside.

Snape, who was sent here by him to look at Nagini before, had marks left by two huge snake teeth on his neck, and black blood was pouring out from these two big holes. His complexion was pale, and the fire of life in the depths of his black eyes was rapidly dimming. Voldemort could clearly see that Snape was now dying.

When the puppets attacked from the lake tens of minutes ago, Voldemort decisively abandoned the army cut off from the rear and accelerated towards Hogwarts Castle. He believed that under the leadership of Bellatrix, that part of the army should be able to hold back the enemies in the direction of Hogsmeade, so that Ryan and the others could not pull out their hands to rescue the school.

When Voldemort came to the city, in order to ensure the safety of his Horcrux, he let Snape and Nagini stay in a room in the newly occupied Quidditch pitch to take care of Nagini. Pu is one of his most reliable Death Eaters. At the same time, out of uneasy reasons, he took Snape's wand away. Voldemort believed that in this way, Snape, who had no wand, could not hurt Nagini who was hiding in his protective shield anyway.

But now he realized that he had made a big mistake, Snape was definitely not as loyal to himself as he acted, and that rare magic dagger showed that he had been planning what happened today for a long time. This also means that the great Dark Lord was actually deceived by a person with Occlumency, and the price is the most precious Horcrux.

"It's a good thing I don't only have this one Horcrux." Voldemort took a deep breath and said to himself, then asked calmly while looking at Snape who was lying on the ground. "Tell me, why are you doing this?"

He was curious from the bottom of his heart, because Voldemort thought he had given Snape absolutely enough knowledge, wealth, status, and trust. He really couldn't understand why Snape did what he did when he was about to win.

After all, for a wizard, if he loses his wand and wants to kill a giant poisonous snake like Nagini with a short dagger, he must die. Especially in the current scene, Voldemort could judge that Snape let Nagini bite him on the neck when Snape used the dagger to destroy the magic protection, and then gave it a fatal blow with the severe pain and suffocation. Voldemort didn't know what made Snape die so decisively and generously.

At this time, Snape's condition was already very bad, and not only blood was bleeding from his body. And a silver-blue substance, neither gas nor liquid, rose from his mouth, ears, and eyes.

After hearing Voldemort's question, Snape made a terrible wheezing, clucking, clucking sound from his throat. Then he looked up with the last of his strength and watched Voldemort utter a word.

"Lily..."
