Voldemort appeared so suddenly that Dumbledore had no time to react.
Dumbledore turned around with his wand in hand, but Voldemort had already raised his wand——
Time seems to stand still.
A ray of green light flashed from the tip of Voldemort's wand. At this most critical moment, Voldemort chose his favorite and best killing curse to send his guide in the wizarding world, his respected professor, and his lifelong enemy. Blessed Dumbledore is on his way.
Voldemort's unexpected trick earned him a rare opportunity in decades. At this time, Dumbledore had just issued a curse, and he was in a state where the old curse was gone and the new one was not born. Voldemort appeared on him again. The blind spot in his sight. Taken together, Voldemort really got a chance to kill Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore was not that easy to deal with. Seeing that he had no time to fight back, and the Iron Armor Curse could not withstand the Killing Curse, Dumbledore disappeared from the place like a gust of wind, and then appeared a few feet away, dodging Voldemort's Killing Curse lightly. .
But there was no look of loss on Voldemort's snake face at all. The corners of his mouth raised: Albus, do you really think I will forget that you have such a move?
The flame fragments transformed by the two fire snakes turned around and rushed towards Dumbledore's back. There was a heart-warming black hidden in the flames on the edge of the fragments. Obviously, the person who was hit by this fragment The consequences are not as simple as burns.
Now Dumbledore was really cornered.
A trace of joy flashed in Voldemort's eyes. He knew very well that even Dumbledore would be dead if he suffered this attack!
Just then, Hermione moved.
She darted behind Dumbledore with a quick step and spread her arms out, trying to use herself as a barrier to resist the curse for Dumbledore.
Everything happened so fast that Dumbledore and Voldemort didn't have time to react.
At this critical moment, a small translucent shield appeared on Hermione's chest, colliding with Voldemort's killing move.
From Dumbledore's point of view, he would call it the magic of love. But for Tom, he would only say that it is a self-defense gear he prepared for his girlfriend.
The small transparent shield flickered twice and then shattered, but its mission was accomplished. Most of the flames were blocked by it, leaving only the last small piece that broke through the air like a meteor and landed on Hermione's white collarbone. superior.
The flames penetrated straight into Hermione's smooth skin, leaving no scars, but the next second Hermione's neck was covered with a thin layer of black air, like a drop of ink dripping on white paper.
Seeing that his trump card was blocked, Voldemort let out an angry roar, but Dumbledore, who had narrowly escaped death, felt that every hair on his head stood up.
Hermione, who was hit by the magic, fell softly, her wand slipped from her hand and rolled to the side.
The girl was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Seeing that his carefully prepared killing move had been broken, Voldemort knew that there was no point in continuing to fight, so he decisively turned into a wisp of black smoke and fled away. Dumbledore had no intention of chasing Voldemort, so he rushed to Next to Hermione, she gently picked up this brave child...
Hermione, who was unconscious, was limp. She seemed to have been detached from her bones, slumped in Dumbledore's arms.
Dumbledore looked at Hermione with a rare trace of panic in his eyes.
He first put his wand against the spot where Hermione was hit, trying to remove the spell.
As he cast the spell, a black smoke wrapped around the tip of Dumbledore's wand. Seeing this, Dumbledore was delighted. He held his breath and tried to pull the black smoke out of Hermione's body.
It went smoothly at first. The black smoke was entangled with the wand and was pulled away inch by inch. But not long after it came out, the black smoke snapped, and the remaining black energy suddenly retracted into Hermione's body.
, allowing the girl's smooth and tender skin to continue to be shrouded in dark black.
Dumbledore was not discouraged. He stretched out his wand again, trying to draw out the black energy like last time. But this time, the black energy seemed to have learned a lesson and refused to be fooled.
Dumbledore sighed, the worst had happened.
He tried a few more spells, but with little effect. He only suppressed the magic spell in Hermione's body. Hermione didn't look strange now, except that the layer of black energy on her bones had disappeared.
. She seemed to be asleep.
In the process of fighting Voldemort's spell, Dumbledore figured out the nature of Hermione's injuries. Contrary to his initial expectations, she was not poisoned. It was Voldemort's curse that hurt her. This curse is like a tarsal bone.
The gangrene was firmly rooted in Hermione's body, devouring the girl's vitality.
Dumbledore was a little lucky, but luckily the Iron Armor Curse had offset most of the curse, otherwise Hermione might have been dead by now!
Dumbledore looked down at the pale girl, his heart filled with self-blame.
How was he going to face Tom? Tom trusted him so much and left her in his hands, but he betrayed his trust...
If Tom knew about it... Dumbledore drove the idea out of his mind. He was sure that the consequences of letting Tom know about it would be disastrous.
He turned to look at the place where Voldemort disappeared, with anger burning in his eyes. He vowed to make Voldemort disappear from the world forever.
But now he has more important things to do.
Dumbledore picked up the unconscious Hermione and ran to the infirmary. He needed Madam Pomfrey to help him stabilize Hermione's condition and hold her until Snape returned.
For a curse that is difficult to remove, a magic potion may work wonders.
Dumbledore planned to wait for Snape to come back and discuss Hermione's treatment plan with him.
…
Outside Strange Manor, Tom led his dementors to successfully reunite with the members of the Order of the Phoenix. Now, the strength of the Order of the Phoenix had greatly increased, completely overshadowing the remnants of the Death Eaters. At this time, if they
Joining forces to march to Strange Manor, the Death Eaters will only end up destroyed.
In front of the dementors, using apparation to escape is a luxury.
After reuniting, Tom signaled his dementors to control the captured Death Eaters first. While the dementors were busy arresting people, Delis communicated with the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix.
After just a few shallow conversations, Delis figured out the situation. He felt as if he was about to make a meritorious deed again.
As for Tom, his mood suddenly became worse, as if something bad had happened.
An unknown fire of karma arose in Tom's heart, making him extremely angry.
He looked around and finally set his sights on the captured Death Eater.
