"All right!"
The blonde girl said loudly, "The Dark Lord Li Li's last Horcrux is the black cat that never leaves her side. She keeps it close and protects it every time she acts. Getting past the Dark Lord to kill that black cat is simply impossible!"
"So we need a suicide squad!"
Harry Potter, the Chosen One, declared firmly, "We need people to create the right conditions and give us a chance to destroy that Horcrux."
"I'll go."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a black robe who resembled a big bat stepped forward and spoke calmly.
"No, Professor Snape, you still have to..."
"We only have one chance. No one is better suited than I am."
As Snape spoke, he gazed steadily into Harry's green eyes. "Potter, you're far better than your father! The future is in your hands..."
"Avada Kedavra!"
Suddenly, the blonde girl swung her wand sharply and fired a green Killing Curse at Harry Potter.
At such close range, Harry Potter had no chance to react. He could only watch the green beam shoot straight at him, until a figure stepped in front of him.
It was Snape.
The instant the Killing Curse struck him, his body went rigid. His pupils rapidly dilated, losing their light. "Potter, live on..."
He used every last bit of strength to finish those final words, then collapsed to the ground.
Only then did everyone realize what had happened. They all pointed their wands at the sneering blonde girl and the utterly bewildered Edward.
"Expelliarmus!"
As he watched the wand fly out of his hand, Edward's face was full of question marks.
"???"
What the fuck?
Wasn't I a core member of the Resistance Army?
Wasn't I supposed to be one of the good guys?
