Just then, the sounds of fighting came from below.
One of them shouted, "Up there, they've blocked the stairs. Smashed! Smashed! "
It was the voice of Mad-Eye Moody. He was not far down there and would be coming up soon!
"Quick, Draco, do it!" the fierce-looking man urged angrily.
But Malfoy was shaking so badly that he could not aim.
"Do it!"
"I told you to do it, did you hear me!"
"Draco, do it, or get out of the way and let us …" the woman shrieked. Just then, the door to the wall burst open again!
Snape stood there with his wand in his hand, his dark eyes scanning the scene in front of him, from Dumbledore, to the three Death Eaters and Malfoy.
"We've got a problem, Snape!" The burly Amicus said, his eyes and wand fixed on Dumbledore. "This kid doesn't seem to be able to …"
But someone else said Snape's name very softly.
"Severus …"
This voice scared Harry more than anything else he had experienced all night. Dumbledore was begging. This was the first time.
Snape did not speak. He stepped forward and roughly pushed Malfoy to the side.
The three Death Eaters moved to the back without a word. Everyone was looking at him.
Snape stared at Dumbledore for a moment. The rough lines on his face were etched with deep hatred and disgust.
"Severus, please …"
Snape raised his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore.
"Avada Death!" A green light shot out from the tip of Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore's face squarely.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and everything seemed to be frozen.
The colors disappeared quickly and the sounds of fighting were turned off.
There was only black and white left in the scene!
Harry's scream of terror was choked in his throat. He could not make a sound, nor could he move. He could only watch helplessly as Dumbledore was knocked into the air.
The power of Snape's Slaughtering Curse was so strong that Dumbledore was sent flying, along with his tightly gripped Twin Serpent Wands. They seemed to pause for a second under the shining skull, then Dumbledore, like a large, broken doll, slowly fell on his back, falling over the wall's opening and disappearing.
Harry felt like he was sent flying too. This did not happen, this was impossible …
"Get out of here, quickly!" Snape said.
He grabbed Malfoy by the scruff of the neck and shoved him out the door first, followed by the burly Death Eater siblings, both panting with excitement.
It's over, it's all over!
Dumbledore said he was going to leave this world tonight. This was part of the magic left behind by Salazar Slytherin. He would go to another world to fight the soul of the despicable Herbo. Dumbledore said he had to see Snape before he left because he had something important to tell him. Dumbledore trusted Snape. Dumbledore …
Harry had imagined what would happen tonight. He had thought of many possibilities, but none of them were like what happened before his eyes. He thought Dumbledore would leave peacefully. He did not expect Dumbledore to be killed, killed by Snape. This was impossible.
Despair enveloped Harry. He could not believe what had just happened.
Dumbledore was dead. He was killed by Snape, who he trusted the most.
When Snape, Malfoy, and the Death Eater siblings disappeared from the door, Harry realized he could move again.
Dumbledore's magic had lost its effect because he was dead!
It was not magic that made him slump against the wall, but fear and shock.
When the ferocious-looking Death Eater was the last to leave the tower and was about to disappear from the door, he pulled off the Invisibility Cloak.
"Petrify them all!"
The Death Eater staggered as if something hard had hit him on the back, and then he fell like a wax figure. But before he could touch the ground, Harry had already leapt past him and was running down the dark stairs.
… …
After dealing with Fenrir Greyback, Elwyn and Hermione got back on their broomsticks.
They flew to the Astronomy Tower at the highest point of the castle. This was the fastest way to get there.
Elwyn briefly told Hermione about tonight's situation while worrying. He was most worried about whether they could make it in time. He was not sure how long Dumbledore could last. The castle was in a mess now. If Snape did not get there in time...
The Dumbledore who suddenly disappeared and the Dumbledore who was killed were two completely different concepts.
"Oh my god, what is that! Look at the Astronomy Tower, Elwyn, it's... Professor Dumbledore! "
Hearing Hermione's voice, Elwyn also looked up. Under the green light of the Mark of Darkness, he saw Dumbledore falling on his back.
He was like a big ragged doll, lifeless.
Dumbledore was dead!
Elwyn stopped his broomstick and watched this scene quietly.
Under the shining skull mark, the two pythons on the double snake scepter opened their eyes and slowly moved. They wrapped around Dumbledore's arm. The air was distorted, and the dark green energy gate connected to the broken void appeared again. Death was waiting on the other side of the gate.
Then, there was a flash of light.
Dumbledore's body disappeared into thin air. He had left this world.
Death was the only way to the space where the evil god was. He was about to start another great battle.
Goodbye, Dumbledore!
Goodbye, Professor!
"Elwyn, Professor Dumbledore is dead?" Hermione murmured in disbelief.
"No, he just left," Elwyn said softly. "Finally, one day, the professor will come back."
He said this to pay his last respects to Dumbledore, hoping to see him again.
Then, Elwyn turned the direction of the broomstick and flew toward the double snake scepter. A new battle had begun …
… …
Inside the Astronomy Tower, Harry jumped over the last ten spiral stairs.
He had to catch Snape. He had to catch Snape.
This was the only thought left in his mind. He firmly believed that as long as he caught Snape, everything would be reversed.
Harry stopped after landing and raised his wand.
The dim light shone on the dusty corridor. It seemed that half of the roof had collapsed. A fierce battle was going on in front of him.
In the corridor, there were people fighting almost everywhere. A chaotic battle was going on.
Harry tried to figure out who was fighting with who. Suddenly, he heard the voice that he hated shouting, "It's over. It's time to go!" He saw Snape disappear at the far corner of the corridor. He and Malfoy seemed to have rushed out unscathed.
"Catch him, catch Snape!" Harry shouted.
At this moment, the burly Death Eater Amicus pounced on him. A green light formed at the end of his wand.
He pointed at Harry and screamed, "Drill Bone!"
