Chapter 1047 Curtain Call"Um?"
When Sirius saw Tao Yu and others appear, he was shocked, and then he was filled with endless fear.
how so!Why are there still students coming to this abandoned bathroom at this time? !He also saw Harry in the crowd, and even Peter Pettigrew holding a wand behind him!
That dead mouse that I can never forget even if it turns into ashes!
But soon, he saw the live map in Tao Yu's hand, and a glimmer of enlightenment came into his mind.
It turns out that this is what it depends on!
I'm afraid it was that dead rat that instigated them to come here!These Gryffindor bastards!Sirius was still capable enough to figure out the current situation immediately and make a quick assessment.
The only good news now is that this stupid Voldemort has lost his memory and doesn't know that his loyal servant is Pettigrew.
This may be the only chance at the moment!
This is Hogwarts. If we make enough noise, a professor will come.
Considering Voldemort's current condition, he shouldn't cause any trouble!Sirius found what he thought was the best solution immediately.
Then he looked at the people in front and spoke first."Aha, it turns out to be a group of little wizards. Let me see, isn't this my lovely child, Harry? Oh, you may not know, I am actually your godfather."
Sirius took the initiative to stand between Voldemort and the crowd, with his back facing Voldemort to block any possible sudden attack from the evil curse.
At the same time, a disgusting expression appeared on his face.
"I'm going to kill you! You traitor!"
Although the scar on Harry's forehead was quite painful at this time, his eyes were filled with anger, and he simply swung his hand and used the 'Knockout Spell' taught by Tao Yu.
Looking at the spell cast by the little wizard, Sirius felt a little admiration in his heart, but his face still showed disdain.
"It's just a spell..."
bang~The sudden hit and the huge impact made Sirius stagger and almost fall to the ground.
As an adult wizard, facing the simplified version of the 'Knockdown Spell', although he was not knocked away directly, he almost fell down.
After waving his wand and casting an 'Armor Charm', he was able to block the attacks from Ron and Hermione behind him.
The Iron Armor Curse also emitted a heavy 'clang, clang, clang' sound.
"Ahaha, it's an interesting spell. It seems to be a simplified version of the Disarming Spell. I've been imprisoned for so many years that I'm a bit behind the times."
After Sirius regained his balance with a clumsy backflip, he looked a little embarrassed.
A first-year wizard...
I almost flipped over.
He originally came out to attract hatred, but if he was subdued by the little wizard instead, he would be in tears.
Then he decisively set his sights on Pettigrew.
"So, Pettigrew, it seems that you want to come and capture the Dark Lord. Can you do it?"
After saying that, he didn't say anything else and directly cast an evil curse at Pettigrew, completely ignoring the little wizards who were unable to break his armor spell.
Focus all your firepower on the opponent's only adult wizard!"This is Hogwarts after all. Pettigrew is still an adult wizard after all. We need to work together to finish this quickly."
While waving his wand, Sirius also spoke quickly to his 'teammates'.
Pettigrew was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sirius' sudden spell, so he had to extend his wand to respond.
Although Pettigrew is not as strong as Sirius, he still has several dark magics obtained from Voldemort to strengthen himself.
Because he had no time to explain, he took the initiative to fight back with black magic and proved himself with actions!
Seeing Pettigrew's method, Sirius felt a little depressed, but he still said"Ahaha, let me see what you've learned, interesting dark arts, to use against me? What about the Unforgivable Curses?"Avada Kedavra!"
Sirius took the initiative to use the Unforgivable Curse, and the dark green light emitted a chilling feeling.
At least Sirius's murderous intent and hatred towards Pettigrew were real. Even though Sirius was not good at the Killing Curse, this spell showed its power.
Even Pettigrew didn't expect the opponent to be so fierce. He screamed and swung his wand to speed up and escape from the attack.
At the same time, Gao Shen shouted"Oh, classmate Tao Yu, come and help me, I can't stand it any longer!"
Pettigrew also gradually discovered the problem. It seemed that his master really regarded Sirius as a companion? !
Although he was still not sure what was inside, the always cunning Pettigrew decided to temporarily swap roles and called out to Tao Yu loudly.
"I have to hold the other two back. Sirius will be in your care. Just buy time. The professors will be here soon."
Tao Yu held the magic wand in his hand, showing no intention of helping.
The second half of Tao Yu's sentence also made Sirius happy. It seemed that they were not so stupid as to know how to inform the professor!
Even if Hogwarts cannot use Apparition, it can just delay for a while!As for the first half of Tao Yu's words about restraining Voldemort and Quirrell, Sirius didn't take it to heart at all.
I just feel that the freshmen these days are so fierce.
Even for a Gryffindor, it's hard to have the courage to say such words.
However, Sirius was worried that Voldemort would be enraged and curse him directly, so he quickly said"Don't be angered by him. The biggest trouble now is the damn Peter. If we kill him together, he will soon be unable to bear it. The attacks of these little wizards will somewhat restrain me."
Sirius had just finished speaking when the Shield Charm on his body was clanged again by Harry and the others, forcing him to cast another one, giving Pettigrew a chance to catch his breath.
But Sirius's words to divert hatred were of no use. Voldemort, who possessed Quirrell, had no intention of taking action. He just took temporary control of Quirrell's body and stood aside solemnly with his wand in hand.
However, Sirius, who fought hard, was still a loyal subordinate in Voldemort's eyes. He held his wand and explained:
"What he said before was not wrong. He was indeed trying to contain me. This is the troublesome guy I mentioned before. Don't treat him like a child."
Voldemort's words made Sirius a little confused. He always felt that everyone at the scene was acting like him.
It was funny at first when Pettigrew asked a student for help, but the student ended up saying something like he wanted to contain Voldemort.
The most exaggerated thing is that Voldemort actually admitted that he was restrained!
Have you figured out that I'm a fake?
Why don’t you just come and be straightforward!Fortunately, he just wanted to delay time until the professors came over. If Voldemort didn't take action, he didn't urge him to do so, lest the other party come to his senses.
No matter what, the student is now under control and he just needs to keep doing well.
Although Sirius was a little overwhelmed by the harassment from Pettigrew and several other young wizards like Harry, he had already done his best to achieve the current results at this nearly desperate moment.
Even if he was misunderstood and attacked by the professors later, he would accept it as long as Harry was fine. It was all his own fault.
However, we must find a way to expose Peter's mask at the last minute and not let him stay with Harry forever.
"Or, just kill him!"
The murderous intent in Sirius' heart swelled again, and he cast another Killing Curse, causing Voldemort to look at him twice.
Although the means are a bit crude, the killing intention is real...
At this time, Tao Yu also took a step forward leisurely.
"It's not good to just stand here and watch. Senior Tom, how about we have a practical lesson?"
"Okay, let me see how much you have learned..."
Voldemort also walked over to the side, raised his wand and formally welcomed Tao Yu's invitation...
When Tao Yu and Voldemort stepped out at the same time, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed. The original wave game between Sirius and Pettigrew instantly became a foil.
Even though the two of them hadn't done anything, they seemed to have automatically become the center, and an inexplicable aura echoed along their positions.
"Avada Kedavra……"
Voldemort waved his wand casually with a calm expression, and a dark green deathly light shone, and he started with the Killing Curse.
This attitude really made Sirius, who was arguing with Pettigrew, change his expression.
Did Voldemort really regard the other party as his opponent? !Facing this attack, Tao Yu just casually flicked his magic wand.
"Mirror Deflection"
shuh~A round mirror appeared out of thin air in front of Tao Yu, blocking the deadly light of Avada Kedavra.
Although the mirror screamed and shattered after being hit, part of the light from the Killing Curse actually shot back towards Voldemort, but Voldemort calmly took a step to avoid it."That's amazing. You were the one who taught those little wizards the simple spells. You simplified the Disarming Spell so that they could use it easily. Now you've transformed the Armor Spell into a spell that can bounce back. Your talent and ability are even better than mine."
As Voldemort spoke, a magical storm began to rotate around him.
Correspondingly, a magical cyclone that was completely opposite to Voldemort's appeared beside Tao Yu.
Not to mention Voldemort, even Sirius and Pettigrew had their eyes wide open at this moment.
Can you use magic to resist the killing curse?
Even though Pettigrew knew that Tao Yu was no ordinary person, he did not expect that he had the strength to confront his master head-on!
Sirius felt that his world view had collapsed. He felt that his brain had been eaten by Dementors in Azkaban, and that this world was no longer normal.
The arrogant Voldemort even admitted that another wizard's talent was superior to his?
"Thank you for the compliment."
As Tao Yu spoke, he waved his magic wand. Every time he waved it, a crack seemed to appear in the surrounding space, and beneath the crack was a new magic mirror.
The images constantly reflected by the mirror made everyone on the scene become layered, and after a moment it seemed to have turned into a mirror maze. Even the battle on Sirius' side became chaotic!
"These mirrors are not ordinary mirrors. Not only do they reflect spells, but the images they project are also controllable?"
After Sirius made two simple attempts, he was also shocked.
Mirror reflection can be selective!
You can constantly fold the opponent's image, making it impossible to distinguish true from false, and you can selectively rebound the spell, all of which can be turned into something beneficial to the opponent!The appearance of the mirrors seemed ordinary, but they instantly changed the battlefield!
"amazing."
Voldemort was also quite moved. Although he had sensed the power of this little wizard when they first came into contact, he still did not expect him to be so powerful!
After all, the other person’s age is there!Moreover, the magic storm that was formed was something that Voldemort had only seen on Dumbledore besides himself. He even vaguely felt that the other party's magic power was even greater than his own?His talent, magic power, and intelligence all surpassed himself!"But unfortunately, this is not your home ground."
Voldemort grinned, and his words made Sirius secretly feel that something was wrong. This was Hogwarts, but the other party had been acting calm and composed. He might have some hidden card!Sure enough, as Voldemort spoke the snake language, the faucet in the bathroom began to change, separating and combining to form a giant hole.
And Harry also heard the other party's words clearly.
"He's calling the basilisk?! He's the one who opened the secret room! Be careful, everyone, put on your magic lenses, and don't look directly into the basilisk's eyes!"
Harry's words also awakened Pettigrew.
Originally, after seeing Tao Yu's strength and age, he was considering whether to change his allegiance.
As long as he kills Sirius, he will still be a hero fighting against the Dark Lord and can return to the sunlight!But when the secret room was opened and the loud noise of the basilisk moving was heard, Pettigrew had already given up the idea.
Perhaps, this little wizard has extraordinary talent and unlimited potential, and can even start to fight with the Dark Lord now.
But after the basilisk joined, everything changed!
Before the professors arrive, the other party will surely die on the spot!No matter how talented you are, it's meaningless if you die!Making the best choice at the most appropriate time and relying on the strong is what Pettigrew is best at.
The reason why they are hanging out with Sirius and the others in school is simply because their team is strong enough!When it comes to the critical moment, Pettigrew never lacks this kind of courage.
Being able to become a Gryffindor, he also has another side of himself.
Watching Sirius' distraction over there, Pettigrew began to gradually change his position, and began to follow the mirror and grope towards Tao Yu's body.
After all, when they started to divide the positions, the two sides were still clearly separated, and he was closer to Tao Yu!As the vibrations grew louder, the huge snake head of the basilisk appeared behind Voldemort. Its huge brown eyes, which represented death, were filled with murderous intent.
It was okay as Sirius had his back to the basilisk, but Harry and the others had to keep their heads down while putting on the magic lenses that were specially distributed to them.
Even if the eyes are protected by lenses, they will at least be petrified!And now that this place is petrified, it is no different from being dead.
The combat effectiveness under this circumstance can be said to be greatly reduced.
Pettigrew also lowered his head and said to Tao Yu"Student Tao Yu, come here quickly, you retreat first, I will cover you."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to move closer to Tao Yu.
Tao Yu did not make any comment on this.
Only Sirius noticed something was wrong. Pettigrew was definitely not that kind!
But now he could only stand between the basilisk and the little wizard to avoid a sudden attack from the basilisk. His position was restricted, and he could do nothing except cast a few spells which were deflected.
Just when Sirius was about to open his mouth to remind him, Pettigrew had already raised his wand."Avada Kedavra……"
A skilled killing curse came directly towards Tao Yu.
Such a close distance was completely unexpected and beyond everyone's expectations!After hearing the Killing Curse, even Harry and the others looked over subconsciously, and saw Pettigrew, with a cruel face, casting the curse and hitting Tao Yu.
For a moment I had no idea what was happening.
"No! This is a killing curse!"
Hermione screamed. This was the Unforgivable Curse, a spell that would kill anyone!
Why, why did Pettigrew suddenly launch a surprise attack on Tao Yu.
Even Voldemort was stunned. He had just summoned his trump card, how come it turned out like this?
What happened to Pettigrew?"Great Master, something may have happened to you and you may have forgotten something. In fact, I am your loyal servant. I was the one who betrayed the Potters. It was Sirius who hunted me down and faked my death, and then the crime was pinned on him."
Pettigrew first expressed his loyalty through his actions, and then began to give a very weighty explanation.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you, you damn rat!"
Sirius was like a madman at this time, constantly throwing spells at Pettigrew, and at the same time blocked Harry and the others.
"What are you still standing there for? Run! Call the professor!"
Harry, who was still waving his wand subconsciously and attacking Sirius's Shield Charm with the Repulsive Spell, was also a little dazed at this moment.
what happened?
Why did Sirius, whom I had been chasing, start protecting me instead?
Pettigrew is the one who rebelled?
But after all, the words have been made clear and he has understood it.
But when he saw Tao Yu who was hit by the Killing Curse, Harry went completely crazy. He endured the pain on his forehead and threw all the spells he could at Pettigrew like a madman.
But for a young wizard who has just started to learn magic, it would be good enough if he can play a certain role and provide assistance under Tao Yu's simplified version of the spell.
It is obviously impossible to pose a real threat.
"Oh, is that the case..."
Tao Yu's voice suddenly came from the direction of the basilisk, interrupting Pettigrew's endless chatter.
The figure that was hit by his killing curse gradually faded, as if it was just a mirror condensed in the void.
Now Tao Yu was already standing on the basilisk's head, looking down at everyone.
The wand in his hand released a red light, which connected to the basilisk.
The basilisk seemed to have completely obeyed Yu Taoyu's orders and began to brutally target Voldemort and Pettigrew.
"The Imperius Curse?"
Voldemort felt the basilisk was out of control and felt a little bit unbelievable.
The basilisk is very resistant to spells!Even he was not sure if he could use the Imperius Curse on the basilisk!
"It has been slightly modified to reduce its effect on humans, but strengthen its effect on magical creatures. I would like to call it the 'Taming Spell'."
Then Tao Yu casually pointed at Voldemort.
"Tear them apart."
Hiss~The basilisk roared and charged directly towards Voldemort, and in the mirror world that was left behind, Tao Yu's figures also cast various spells one after another to hinder it.
There were many obstacles and he fell to the ground dizzy. Various different spells appeared from different mirrors. Although the effects were not as good as those released by Tao Yu himself, they instantly formed a situation of many against one.
"Damn it!"
Voldemort had never expected that his trump card would become someone else's weapon!This is still Hogwarts, and the professor will be arriving soon, but it’s too late to save the situation!
Pettigrew was even more confused. No, I just made my choice. I just turned against you. How could you do this? !"This time, you win! But you only destroyed one of my Horcruxes! The final victory will still belong to me!"
Green fiery cracks began to appear on the surface of Quirrell's body as he was possessed by Voldemort. It seemed that green flaming magma was flowing in the cracks, and the scorching power could no longer be contained by his body.
"Hook him."
Tao Yu gave the order again, and the basilisk immediately coiled up with its extremely long body, blocking Voldemort in the middle, making it impossible for any escape.
Then there was a horrific explosion, and the spurting fire rushed out and touched the basilisk's tough body.
The floor and ceiling of this bathroom in Hogwarts shattered with a loud bang, there was a violent vibration, and a fierce fire spread.
The basilisk's magic resistance also caused it to scream, its body covered in blood and flesh, and even the fierce flames continued to burn the basilisk like maggots in its bones.
The previous self-explosion, if it weren’t for the basilisk’s powerful anti-magic ability that served as a shield to block the greatest aftermath.
Everyone at the scene except Tao Yu must die.
Even now, it is still a mess, with most of the basilisk's body missing.
Moreover, the dark green flames were still spreading to the two adjacent floors above and below. The protective spell of Hogwarts itself was broken, and it was impossible to stop the raging of the flames.
"Everything is silent."
Tao Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a trace of solemnity in his face. Magic power surged all over his body, and with the waving of his magic wand, he extinguished large tracts of fierce fire and stopped it from spreading.
The air was filled with the aroma of roasted snake meat.
The remaining body of the basilisk was still sizzling with oil.
However, the basilisk's vitality was indeed extremely strong. Although it lost half its life in this attack, it still survived tenaciously. It just closed its eyes weakly and lay on the ground, not even sticking out its tongue.
Seeing this, Tao Yu also took out a bottle of healing potion from his body. After smashing the magic wand, it turned into mist and sprinkled it evenly on the wound of the basilisk. Then he jumped down, glanced at the other people at the scene, and finally stopped his gaze on Pettigrew.
"Did you just hit me with a killing curse?"
Pettigrew looked at the huge scene of destruction in front of him with a confused look on his face. Seeing Tao Yu extinguish all the Fiendfyres with a single spell, he also began to understand why Voldemort was so wary of him before.
You are so capable, why didn’t you say so earlier?Aren’t you just cheating me?(End of this chapter)
