The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Now Tom felt the time had come.

So he rushed out from the corner and switched into the basilisk form at the same time.

Tom's positioning is very accurate: he will be the support today and let the main C Dumbledore do the output.

What control skill is stronger than the hard control of Basilisk?

Tom turned into a giant snake more than ten feet long, snaked forward, and rushed towards Voldemort.

Of course Voldemort knew the basilisk and knew the horror of this creature. So even though there was a turmoil in his heart, he still made the correct reaction immediately: he closed his eyes and stopped looking directly at the basilisk. At the same time, Voldemort did not forget to pull a Horcrux beside him.

This is not a kind intention, but letting the Horcrux serve as a shield for him. The Horcrux also understood Voldemort's thoughts, so it quickly lowered its head, a trace of anger flashing across its face.

After the basilisk that Tom turned into appeared, Voldemort did not feel that he was doomed. Although the snake eyes of the basilisk are terrifying, as long as you don't look directly into its eyes, it will not be petrified.

Voldemort felt that he only needed to pay attention to it. Although it has affected his combat effectiveness, in a two-on-one battle with a Horcrux, his chances of winning are still very high!

Then Dumbledore's curse made Voldemort despair.

Dumbledore raised his wand and quickly created mirrors around his body. The mirrors reflected the basilisk's body and his eyes. In this way, no matter how careful Voldemort is, the probability of seeing the basilisk's eyes will be greatly increased.

Dumbledore's mirror completely extinguished the possibility of Voldemort's victory.

He could barely look in Dumbledore's direction! This is a hammer!

Voldemort suddenly felt that he had no chance of winning. You can't use your eyes to duel with a wizard like Dumbledore? To make matters worse, his arm was injured, and now his soul was being roasted.

He felt that he really had to withdraw. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.

But running away is also a kind of wisdom. After the Dementors returned to Azkaban, although they did not dare to get involved in the frontal battlefield between the three, they still played an extremely important role. They make this a place where apparation is impossible. So the simplest way to escape has been blocked.

Voldemort turned into a black mist, and at this moment, a violent explosion occurred around him.

Voldemort:!

It's his Horcrux that's causing trouble! It cast an explosive spell on the ceiling!

Azkaban was formerly the residence of dark wizards. After the dementors moved in, they had no intention of decorating and renovating the castle. Therefore, the interior of the castle was not as strong as the exterior walls. The Horcrux was successfully blown up with a "thunderbolt explosion" Half a corridor.

After Voldemort was hit by the shock wave of the explosion, his chest felt sweet and stars were popping up in his head, but he still focused on one direction and slid quickly against the ground. The Horcrux also took advantage of the chaos and ran towards the window in the corridor. An ordinary person would be disabled if he jumped from that height, but it had nothing to fear as a Horcrux, so it rushed directly to the window, preparing to take a leap of faith.

But at this time, Dumbledore's magic also came. Under the command of his wand, the water on the ground outside the prison rose up, flew in through the window, and hit the Horcrux in the face.

The water that was slapped became extremely thick, like glue, and quickly turned into a large cocoon as tall as a person, wrapping Voldemort's Horcrux.

In the blink of an eye, a pink, rippling, blurry figure shimmered and stood on the spot. It was obvious that the Horcrux was struggling to escape the watery cocoon that was suffocating it.

Water prison technique! Tom recognized the name of the spell Dumbledore had used.

Taking advantage of the chance that his body was entangled in the Water Prison Technique, Tom found the right angle and looked head-on at the Horcrux trapped in the Water Prison. The Horcrux was caught off guard and looked into Tom's eyes, and then its movements froze. .

Eyes of the Basilisk, activate!

Although Tom's gaze does not look at who is dying like a real basilisk, it can still turn people to stone. The Horcrux in the water prison was turned to stone by Tom's gaze. A gaze that had been weakened several times was not enough to permanently petrify the Horcrux, but with Dumbledore present, this time was enough.

Seeing that the Horcrux was turned to stone, Dumbledore lifted the water prison spell on himself. The Horcrux lost its support and fell to the ground, becoming Dumbledore's prisoner. Unfortunately, Voldemort himself took advantage of the chaos and escaped. In this ambush, he left a heavy price - he lost a Horcrux and was hit by Dumbledore's curse. In the days that followed, he was going to suffer a lot.

Tom returned to his human form and stood beside Dumbledore, looking at Umbridge who fell on the ground with a strange expression.

"Professor Dumbledore, you don't want to keep it alive, do you? This is that person's Horcrux!"

Tom was really worried that Dumbledore would be soft-hearted and make a big mistake.

Dumbledore waved his hand, indicating that Tom didn't have to worry, he still had this hard heart.

"I'm just lamenting the fragility of life." Dumbledore looked at the corpse on the ground and said with emotion.

"She was still a living person just now, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the body was turned into a Horcrux by Riddle. This operation of Riddle really shocked me... but it is indeed effective. Without you, I'm afraid You will suffer a loss." In Dumbledore's mind, the decision he just made could only be described as a narrow victory. Without Tom's final sneak attack, the confrontation between him and Voldemort might have lasted for a long time.

"——Also, that was really a powerful transformation." At the end, Dumbledore did not forget to praise Tom's transformation into a basilisk.

Dumbledore turned a blind eye to Tom's transformation. He wasn't going to get to the bottom of it and find out why he could turn into a basilisk. In Dumbledore's view, every little wizard has his own adventures. It is normal for Tom Yoder to be a little special. As long as he uses this power on the right path, he will be fine.

Is there anything more "righteous" than fighting Voldemort?

Tom looked at Umbridge who had hardened on the ground, feeling completely unmoved. Doesn’t he still know who Umbridge is? A typical wallflower who helps the tyrants do evil. To die here and leave a passable reputation is the best ending for her.

"Hurry up and destroy the Horcruxes to avoid long nights of nightmares." Tom urged. He really didn't want any more trouble to happen.

Destroying a Horcrux requires special means. To this end, Dumbledore stretched out his left arm, and then a misty song sounded in the void from far to near. Soon, Phoenix Fox appeared in front of the two of them, clutching the Sorting Hat.

After throwing the Sorting Hat at Dumbledore's feet, Fawkes flew away angrily. Tom had sharp eyes, and he vaguely saw the phoenix rolling its eyes at Dumbledore before flying away.

"A real Gryffindor can always get help from the Sorting Hat." Dumbledore, who was despised by his own pet, did not have the slightest sense of being despised. He proudly showed off to Tom like a child, showing off the secrets from the Sorting Hat. The sword of Gryffindor taken out.

Tom:…

The one who can pull out the sword in the lake is King Arthur, and the one who can pull out the sword in the hat is Gryffindor?

Tom's eyes were attracted by the Gryffindor sword. This sword was all silver and looked quite gorgeous. The hilt was inlaid with rubies and the name of Godric Gryffindor was engraved on the sword.

Having made armor before, he immediately recognized that this sword was made of magic silver.

"The relic of Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts," Dumbledore introduced to Tom, holding the long sword in his hand: "It was made by goblins and has some quite peculiar properties, such as being able to Absorb things that can strengthen it. Gryffindor took it with him on adventures and killed countless dangerous magical animals and monsters. Its sword was enchanted with magic, enough to destroy Horcruxes."

Dumbledore held the sword, raised it high above his head, and stabbed Umbridge's body on the ground.

The sword of Gryffindor was inserted into Umbridge's chest, and Tom seemed to hear a shrill scream. A stream of black smoke came out of Umbridge's body, and a small amount of black blood spilled from her chest.

Under the intense stimulation, the Horcrux broke free from the basilisk's petrification and twisted like a snake. However, the Sword of Gryffindor locked it firmly on the ground like a nail driven into the ground.

Dumbledore remained expressionless, unaffected. He thrust the sword hard into the Horcrux until the Horcrux stopped struggling completely.

"It's over." Dumbledore pulled out the sword. The moment he pulled it out, streams of black blood and wisps of black energy gushed out from the wound.

Soon, the blood in Umbridge's corpse drained away, and the entire body shrank. The originally not tall body was now shrunk into a small ball.

"Go back, you have gained a lot today." Dumbledore happily extended his arm to Tom. He first took Tom out of Azkaban, and then used Disapparation to take Tom back to Hogwarts.

When Tom and Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, Voldemort also returned to his loyal Malfoy Manor.

A burst of black smoke rolled by, and a livid-faced Voldemort appeared in the garden of Malfoy Manor, causing the white peacocks in the garden to fly in all directions.

At this time, Voldemort was far less calm than when he had just set off. His wizard robe was torn in tatters in the battle, and his entire left arm was wrapped with Dumbledore's golden flame, which brought him all the time. Come to pain.

Voldemort had been running away just now and didn't even have time to clean up the flames on his arms. After returning to Malfoy Manor, he finally had the energy to deal with the tarsal fire. As an ancient pure-blood family, the Malfoy family naturally has the means to hide its lair. Without Lucius's consent, not even Dumbledore could break into this place.

In other words, this place is safe for Voldemort. He stretched out his wand and tapped his left arm several times. The golden flame disappeared, revealing the black and withered forearm burned by the flame.

Although the flames on the surface disappeared, Voldemort could still feel the burning of Dumbledore's curse on his soul, and death by a thousand cuts would not be as painful as one ten thousandth of it.

Dumbledore's curse is equivalent to giving Voldemort a state of limbo, allowing him to feel the pain at the soul level every minute. It is an extremely terrifying magic. Moreover, this curse will gradually destroy Voldemort's soul, which means that Voldemort's life has entered a countdown. Without the Horcrux, he would die in agony. This process may last one year, five years, or even ten years.

ah--

Voldemort cast several spells in succession, but nothing could relieve his pain. Finally, he was so angry that he roared angrily, and the wand suddenly flew into the air, followed by streaks of green light, killing all the living creatures in the garden.

The first second Voldemort stepped into the manor, Lucius Malfoy noticed it. But he was smart enough not to run to greet him immediately. Because he was good at observing people's emotions, he found that Voldemort's state seemed not quite right.

After Voldemort broke out, he couldn't help but be afraid: if he had run out just now, he might have been used by Voldemort to vent his anger on him. In a rage, Voldemort would not think too much. Even a Death Eater like Lucius would just kill him.

After Voldemort vented his anger on the white peacock, he felt a little calmer and began to think about solutions.

Seeing that his master had regained his composure, Lucius slowly stepped forward, ready to give his master a greeting. It's not that he likes to get into trouble, it's just that he can't avoid it.

This is his manor, and he will face Voldemort sooner or later.

Voldemort, who was thinking about countermeasures, his eyes lit up when he saw Lucius, and he suddenly thought of a wonderful solution.

With a little sacrifice, he could relieve this pain.

Then Lucius heard a sentence that shocked him.

"Lucius, where is the notebook I asked you to keep?"

…

On the sea, a small fishing boat was drifting with the waves. The sailor standing on the bow of the boat fishing rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have just seen a figure on the water.

His life was at stake, so he quickly told his companions about the incident. The two quickly stopped the boat and searched the sea.

"I think I saw someone!"

"Where?"

"Disappeared again..."

"I'll stop the boat first."

…

Just as the two of them stared wide-eyed and hurriedly searched for traces of the person who fell into the water, a soaked and white hand suddenly grabbed the side of the boat, and then a black-haired woman climbed onto the boat.

It was hard for Bella to imagine what she had been through, but when her feet hit the solid deck, she knew she had survived.

"Are you okay? William, go get a blanket and make a cup of hot tea!" The sailor heard the noise and ran towards Bella. In his hurry to save the drowning man, he didn't notice the thread hanging from the corner of the woman's mouth. A dangerous smile...

A few hours later, a sailboat trembled and ran aground on the beach. A woman with a yellow face fell off the boat and walked toward the distance with a swaying step.

On the floor of the cabin, two corpses lay crosswise, their wide eyes full of confusion and incomprehension. If they had heard the story of the farmer and the snake when they were children, the two of them might not be so confused. What they saved was a venomous snake with a pure bloodline!
