A Couple Who Survived the Disaster / The Chosen One Heads Toward Death

In a corridor of Hogwarts Castle, Fred was leading a group of students in a fierce battle against a small group of Death Eater. The enemy's offensive was so intense that they were forced to fight and retreat, leaving behind some comrades who could no longer rise from their feet...

But as Fred was directing the students to retreat, he failed to notice that a Death Eater had unleashed a Killing Curse at him in the chaos!

"Fred!"

Boom!

The students screamed in panic. At this critical moment, a wall as thick as an insurmountable chasm suddenly rose up in the corridor. The curse that should have been deadly slammed heavily on the other side of the wall, and in the end, only a violent roar was heard!

"Roar!!" Immediately afterwards, the students heard a roar of a ferocious beast, followed by a series of screams from the Death Eater!

"What is this?!" After the wall collapsed with a crash, Fred was shocked to find that the entire corridor was filled with the corpses of Death Eater!

Most of them had collapsed sternums and their bodies were covered with terrible claw marks, as if they had been brutally killed by a lion or tiger!

Coincidentally, Colin Creevey on the other side also encountered strange things.

Colin was only in sixth grade and came from an ordinary background; by all accounts, he should never have been allowed to return to Hogwarts. Yet, he still sneaked back to fight.

However, although he was fearless, he underestimated the cruelty of war and was soon driven to a dead end by a vicious Death Eater.

Just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly felt the world spinning around him. When he came to his senses, he found himself taken to Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor House!

"Mr. Creevey, what are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened suddenly. "As far as I know, children your age must be protected!"

"But... I have to fight too! Harry is fighting for us, and I absolutely cannot back down!" He argued defiantly with Professor McGonagall, while immediately trying to slip away, but she grabbed his shoulder!

"Mr. Creevey, your courage is invaluable, and I won't persuade you to desert... but you must promise to stay by my side!!"

(P. S., let me add a PS: Fred didn't actually die like that in the original story...)

Chapter 775 A Couple Who Survived the Calamity

Fred and his group of students safely rejoined the main force, and Colin was well protected by Professor McGonagall. However, they had no idea why such a strange thing had happened.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon continues to occur throughout Hogwarts.

Remus Lupin charged bravely across the playground, repelling wave after wave of Death Eater attacks. Even though he had neglected his training somewhat after getting married and having children, he remained a highly skilled dueling master!

Until he met Antonin Dolohov, an absolute powerhouse among the Death Eater!

Lupin engaged in a fierce battle with his opponent on the playground, but despite his best efforts, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

His comfortable family life eventually took its toll; he was no longer able to defeat the formidable foe before him...

"Petrificus Totalus!!"

"What..."

But just when Dolohov thought victory was assured, he suddenly felt his body stiffen, and the wand he held high could no longer be swung.

"Reducto!" Although Lupin didn't know what had happened, he wouldn't let go of the opportunity to defeat his opponent. He quickly unleashed a powerful Reductor Curse, which accurately struck Dolohov's body!

Having witnessed the enemy being blown to pieces by the power of the spell, Lupin finally had time to carefully examine Dolohov's back.

"Hmm..." came the girl's slightly panicked moan, seemingly flustered from witnessing death so close at hand, which allowed Lupin to pinpoint her location.

She was probably right in front of him, seemingly using Disillusionment Charm; Lupin could only see a rough outline, and judging by her height, she was probably a second or third-year student.

"Who are you? Are you a student of Hogwarts?" Lupin asked, puzzled.

"Who I am is not important... You should go find your wife now." However, the girl did not answer his question, but left behind a sentence and then disappeared on the spot.

"Is that... Apparition? But how did she do that?" Lupin frowned deeply, completely baffled by the situation.

However, the words the girl left behind jolted him awake.

"Tonks is here too?!" After his initial shock, Lupin quickly turned around and ran towards the distant castle.

Meanwhile, in the castle's passageways, Nymphadora Tonks is also searching for her husband.

She left their child with her mother and secretly came to Hogwarts alone, not for any other reason than to be with Lupin!

She had just heard from Aberforth Dumbledore that her husband was dueling with Dolohov, and therefore she was eager to find him.

However, in the corridor, Tonks unexpectedly encounters her aunt, Bellatrix Lestrange Lestrange, who has always hated her!

"Look at this, isn't this the bastard born of my useless sister? Where are you in such a hurry to go?" The crazed female Death Eater grinned maliciously. "Are you going to find your equally repulsive Werewolf husband?"

"Get out of the way!" Tonks raised his wand with a frosty expression.

"Hmph, you think I'll let you pass?" Bellatrix Lestrange flicked her wrist dismissively. "I think it'd be better to just send you straight to reunite with your Werewolf husband, hahaha!!"

I said... get out of the way!

A fierce battle suddenly broke out. The light of the curse illuminated the entire corridor, and the surrounding walls and floor tiles were immediately riddled with holes!

Tonks tried many times to break through the corridor to the Great Hall, but the ferocious female Death Eater was like a thick wall, and every time she tried, she was left battered and bruised.

Not long after, her wand was knocked away by the other party, and she accidentally fell to the ground.

"It's over! You filthy bastard..."

"By blood, shouldn't she be your niece?" At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in front of the female Death Eater, "You madwoman, killing Sirius wasn't enough, are you going to attack Tonks too?!"

"Who's speaking?!" Bellatrix Lestrange hurled a spell in the direction the voice came from, but it missed its target entirely.

But then the mysterious voice reappeared from a different location.

"Bellatrix Lestrange Lestrange... you will die here!"

"Are you kidding me... What kind of joke is this?! I'll kill you first! Avada Kedavra!!"

A terrifying green beam shot out, but it only hit the wall next to the corridor, and even blasted a large hole in the castle!

Not far from the huge hole created by the curse, an extremely dazzling beam suddenly shot out!

"Lumos Solem!!"

"Damn it!!" Caught off guard, the female Death Eater was directly hit and couldn't open her eyes for a moment.

She frantically cast spells in all directions, but none of them could effectively hit their targets. Even the spells aimed at Tonks were easily deflected by her mysterious opponent.

Not long after, she was hit by another Expelliarmus and helplessly lost her only weapon.

"Damn it! Damn it! Ugh!" After losing her wand, Bellatrix Lestrange screamed and tried to back away, but the next second, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine!

Because the tip of a magic wand was already pressed silently against her back!

"Bellatrix Lestrange Lestrange ...I told you, you would die." A mysterious girl's voice whispered from behind her. "Accept your fate, you will die by the Holly Wand!"

"What did you say..."

"Confringo!!"

Boom!!

A terrifying explosion suddenly struck, the violent blast silencing the female Death Eater's last words. The massive blast wave propelled her body high into the air, where she crashed into the corridor ceiling before slamming back to the ground!

She lay helplessly on the ground, a charred hole blown into her back, her heart shattered in the explosion.

After convulsing twice, she became lifeless again...

This female Death Eater, whose loyalty to Voldemort bordered on the pathological, was the culprit behind Sirius's death. In the end, while preparing to brutally murder her niece, she was killed by someone who never showed his face throughout the entire story!

"You... who are you?"

Tonks looked at the female Death Eater's body on the ground with lingering fear, then barely managed to look up at the mysterious reinforcement in front of her. The other party seemed to be wearing Invisibility Cloak, making it impossible to see their appearance.

But after hearing what the other person had just said, Tonks examined the exposed wand closely and was shocked to discover that it really was Harry Potter's Holly Wand!

However, when she tried to ask again, the person in front of her suddenly disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.

"Tonks!!" At the same time, an anxious call came from the end of the corridor.

"Remus?!"

Upon discovering that the person who arrived was Lupin, who looked extremely anxious, Tonks hurriedly and awkwardly got up and staggered towards her husband.

This couple, both survivors of the ordeal, embraced tightly in the tattered corridor...

Chapter 776 The Prophecy's Child, Towards Death

"Harry Potter, I'm speaking directly to you now... You let your friends die for you instead of standing up to me."

"I will wait in the Forbidden Forest for one hour. If you do not come to me or surrender after one hour, the battle will continue. This time, I will personally lead the charge! I will find you and punish every man, woman, and child who tries to harbor you—not a single one will escape!!"

A terrifying, somber voice echoed throughout the campus; it was Voldemort's ceasefire order.

With Hogwarts' defenses on the verge of collapse—or at least appearing to be on the verge— Voldemort ordered the Death Eater to retreat temporarily and decided to wait for Harry Potter's arrival in the Forbidden Forest.

This hour was a rare respite for the people of Hogwarts.

They huddled together in a disheveled state, tending to the wounded, collecting the bodies, and trying to cope with their various emotions.

The people who had encountered strange events gathered in small groups, recounting how they had been rescued and escaped under extreme circumstances.

A terrifying behemoth was helping them, easily dispatching enemies along a corridor; it seemed an unseen, You-Know-Who was secretly at work, and they even appeared to be able to Apparition throughout the school...

"I saw Dragon!" Hagrid's booming voice broke in, his tone tinged with a sob. "It's a Norwegian Ridgeback, just like Norbert, but unfortunately, it's a mindless creature... Waaah, how could it attack a descendant of Aragog, and it even burned my beard!"

The Death Eater had previously released a swarm of Acromantula into Hogwarts, and these infamous 'ingrates' immediately launched an indiscriminate attack, also kidnapping Hagrid.

However, he was suddenly attacked by a female Dragon in front of his hut, which quickly wiped out all the spiders!

"Awoo! Awoo awoo!"

Meanwhile, in a field outside Hogwarts, the indiscriminate Dragon Hagrid spoke of was also accusing the foolish Half-blood- Giant.

Norberta had a great time in this battle. Harry cast a powerful Disillusionment Charm on it, and any Death Eater dared to approach Hagrid's Hut were all turned into scum. It even managed to kill a real Giant in hand-to-hand combat!

However, it was also hit hard by the Giant's club, and its back still aches to this day.

The reason it kept berating Hagrid was because it had rescued Hagrid from the spider, but the spider had pulled at its neck to prevent it from roasting those eight-eyed bastards, saying stupid things like, "They are all descendants of Aragog, you can't not distinguish friend from foe..."

In a fit of anger, Norberta set fire to Hagrid's beard and burned it off.

However, Harry ignored Norberta's complaints and was busy comforting the two girls.

Although they were only involved in the chaotic battle for a short time, they all endured immense pressure... Luna Lovegood witnessed a death at close range, while Hermione directly killed Lestrange himself!

At this moment, the three of them were resting next to Zouwu, with Harry gently holding Hermione, hoping she could recover as soon as possible.

"Don't worry... I'm fine." The girl's body trembled slightly, but she managed to shake her head. "I had to take this step eventually, and besides, the Loony must have been quite frightened too."

"I'm fine..." Luna Lovegood said softly, but moved even closer to Harry.

"You two have really suffered..." Harry sighed with heartache. "But thankfully, this war is almost over, and it will be much easier for us to continue our journey."

"But is it really going to end so easily?" Luna Lovegood asked worriedly. "If Voldemort hadn't killed Snape for the Elder Wand, Harry Potter wouldn't have received Snape's dying guidance. Would he still have the courage to go to the Forbidden Forest?"

Indeed, in their current dark timeline, the addition of Cedric Diggory and Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch Jr. to the Death Eater has rendered Dumbledore's plan regarding the Elder Wand ineffective.

Draco Malfoy used Expelliarmus to knock Dumbledore's wand away at the Astronomy Tower, but he wasn't disarmed by Harry Potter at the Malfoy Manor later... Cedric Diggory blocked it for him, so Harry Potter later used Cedric Diggory's wand.

Because of this twist of fate, Malfoy remained the master of the Elder Wand. Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch Jr., the Death Eater's strategist, easily deduced this and casually had Voldemort 'defeat' Draco Malfoy, officially becoming the master of the Elder Wand.

"He will go," Harry said in a deep voice. "Harry Potter is different from me; this is the only way he can fight Voldemort ... If this Prophecy child, whom everyone is protecting with their lives, cannot muster this courage, then there is no need to change this history. Besides, I feel that Dumbledore might have a backup plan."

The so-called backup plan, of course, is that Resurrection Stone.

The Prophecy son is persuaded by the very family he cherishes to go and die...

"So, shall we stick to the original plan and leave after confirming Nagini's death?" Hermione asked hesitantly. "Voldemort is now the true master of the Elder Wand. Can the people of Hogwarts really defeat him?"

"If they can't defeat him, it only means that the chosen one of Prophecy is useless." Harry shook his head. "At least... I won't deal with Voldemort at this stage, because this isn't Harry Granger's destiny, it's Harry Potter's destiny!"

He had to rescue the person, hold out until the very end, and even fight Voldemort for him... Harry had no intention of getting involved that much.

What he wanted to see was a happy ending where Harry Potter successfully saved the world, not him, this alternate-time counterpart, helping him clear everything away!

"It's almost time; we should go and observe the Child of Prophecy's performance."

Harry slowly stood up, shrunk Zouwu and Norberta, and put them back in his pocket.

"Prophecy... I do have a fitting Prophecy here too~" Just as she was about to don the Invisibility Cloak along with Hermione, Luna Lovegood took a light puff of smoke from her pipe and exhaled a hazy wisp of mist.
