"Harry, how are you? Are you okay?"
Hagrid's hairy face swayed above Harry's head, blocking out the stars.
He shook Harry hard, but Elwyn asked him to be gentle. In Hagrid's hands, Harry was like a doll. Even if Harry was fine after being knocked out by Snape's spell, he would not be able to withstand such shaking.
"I'm fine, Hagrid, I'm fine!" Harry said, panting. "What about you guys?"
"Elwyn and I took care of the two Death Eaters in a few moves." Hagrid said. "A few spells hit me, but it's nothing. Those weak spells can't take my life."
"Then … what about Snape?" Harry asked again as he struggled to sit up.
In front of him, there was a deep wound under one of Hagrid's eyes. Blood was flowing down his cheek, and the wound was swelling rapidly.
Elwyn was leaning on his giant Twin Snake Cane, and he did not seem to be injured.
"He's gone!" Elwyn said, looking at the direction of the wall that was shrouded in darkness. "He's with Derek Malfoy. They appeared as soon as they left the school."
"What's going on? Why is Snape in such a hurry to bring Malfoy away? How's the battle up there? Also, Harry, who did you say died just now? " Hagrid looked back at the castle uneasily. "We should go back. It's a mess everywhere tonight, but don't worry, there's nothing Dumbledore can't handle …"
After a moment of silence, fear grew rapidly in Harry's body. He did not even dare to look at Elwyn and Hagrid. They did not know the terrifying news yet.
"Elwyn, Hagrid …" Harry cleared his throat. The mention of Dumbledore's death made his throat dry. "He killed …"
"Killed? You're saying Snape killed someone? Was it a Death Eater? Who did he kill? Speak clearly, Harry. "
"Dumbledore!" Harry said. "Snape killed … Dumbledore."
Hagrid stared blankly at Harry, the small part of his face peeking out from his fur blank and bewildered.
"What happened to Dumbledore?"
"He's dead. Snape killed him …"
"Don't say that," Hagrid said in a rough voice. "Snape killed Dumbledore. How is that possible?! Don't be silly. Harry, what happened to you? "
"I saw it."
"Impossible."
"I saw it, Hagrid." Harry repeated and turned his head to look at Elwyn who was unusually quiet. "Elwyn …"
"Yes, he's gone," Elwyn said. "Hermione and I saw him fall from the Astronomy Tower with our own eyes."
"You saw it?" Harry asked.
"We! We saw it. He's dead. " Elwyn paused here and continued. "I spent some time to find his wand and the Double Serpent Staff."
There was another moment of silence. It seemed that no one knew what to say.
"Elwyn, you, you found his wand?"
"Yes!" Elwyn took out the Old Wand. He had tried it just now. He could not control this wand.
The Old Wand only obeyed the strong. It now belonged to Derek Malfoy. He had defeated Dumbledore before he died.
Hagrid looked at the wand in Elwyn's hand in shock. He then shook his head stubbornly. His expression was full of doubt.
"What are you two doing? How dare you say it's Dumbledore … Impossible! " He said loudly. "I think it must be like this. Dumbledore must have asked Snape to follow those Death Eaters. I guess he can't reveal his identity. Alright, I'm going to send you two back to school now. Hurry up. Maybe the battle is not over yet. There might be something you need our help with. "
Elwyn and Harry did not argue any further. They followed Hagrid back to the castle.
They walked slowly because it was difficult for Elwyn to walk with the Double Serpent Staff. The staff was too big for him. Even though it was weightless, it was still inconvenient to carry.
Hagrid wanted to help him but was stopped by Elwyn. He could not touch it without the mark.
The battle in the castle seemed to have ended. Many of the lights in the windows were lit up. One could imagine the scene inside. Everyone was telling each other about the scene when the Death Eaters broke in.
The Mark of the Dark Demon shone in the sky above the Hogwarts School. This was the most ominous sign.
"Elwyn, Dumbledore, he …" Harry suddenly whispered. Only Elwyn could hear him. "Did he leave?"
"Yes. Just like he told us, he left this world with the help of the magic of the Double Serpent Staff. He went to the world created by the despicable Herbo to fight in the next great battle."
"But, I saw Snape kill him!"
"Death is the only way to that world," Elwyn said.
"It's Snape …"
"That's not important, Harry!" Elwyn said, stopping to look at Harry. "In fact, Snape was much better than the others. At least, he was better than Malfoy."
"What do you mean? Dumbledore trusted Snape, but he … "
"Snape killed Dumbledore. He can help him gain the trust of Lord Voldemort. This is beneficial to us," Elwyn said. "Snape is a member of the Order of the Phoenix."
"You still trust him?" Harry clenched his fists and asked in disbelief.
"Of course, because Dumbledore trusts him." Elwyn said. "Harry, I know what you're thinking, but the truth may not be what you see. Dumbledore trusts Snape, so we should trust him."
"Even if he killed Dumbledore?!" Harry raised his voice. "You weren't there, Elwyn. You didn't see the scene. Dumbledore begged Snape, but he was unmoved. This was not arranged at all. Snape is a despicable coward. He killed Dumbledore for himself. He is not as noble as you think. "
"Maybe. Time will prove everything." Elwyn sighed. Harry's prejudice against Snape could not be resolved with a few words.
Just like Hagrid, he still did not believe that Dumbledore would die. This was a deep-rooted belief in their hearts.
Snape, he was an excellent double agent. He could be described as great. He had suffered unbearable pain.
If Elwyn did not know the truth, he might have suspected Snape like Harry.
"Listen, Harry. The most important thing for us now is to hide the fact that Dumbledore left because of magic. We can't let Lord Voldemort know that he actually went to another space. We have to tell the others that he died. He was killed by Snape. That's what happened! "
"Will he come back alive?" Harry asked.
