Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 582 Snape Arrives

With the help of the invisibility cloak, Harry successfully arrived in Iceland by bus, subway and plane.

It wasn't until he set foot on Iceland that Harry felt relieved, and at the same time, he was also very emotional.

Although this invisibility cloak has brought him so much trouble, it also has its benefits.

At least he wouldn't have to pay to use Muggle transportation.

Of course, Harry encountered a lot of trouble along the way.

For example, he was almost discovered on a crowded subway.

For example, when he was going through security check, the process of climbing over the fence was very thrilling, and he had to carefully cover the corners of his clothes to avoid exposing himself.

Compared with these two things, the rare fact that the plane is full and has no empty seats is nothing to mention.

Taking a long breath, Harry put on his invisibility cloak and walked towards the airport exit.

Although it is summer now, the weather in Iceland is still cold. And the temperature difference between day and night is very large, which is not very friendly for first-timers.

But these have nothing to do with Harry. He is a wizard and with the warming spell he doesn't need to worry about the temperature at all.

What really gave him a headache was the people coming and going.

That’s right, the crowd.

In Harry's impression, Iceland is a place where few people go and no one lives.

Deserted is the most appropriate adjective to describe this place.

But when he actually arrived in Iceland, he found that this was not the case.

The crowds coming and going in the airport are so dense that they can even be compared to London.

Harry didn't know that, thanks to the Icelandic government's support for the tourism and immigration industries, Iceland is now gradually moving towards becoming a tourist destination, which has led to a large population in several core cities in Iceland.

Of course, apart from those so-called core cities, the rest of Iceland is still barren wilderness and frozen land.

On this side, Harry carefully followed the crowd and left the airport.

Like other airports, there are a lot of taxis gathered outside this airport.

Harry could only stand there as he watched the crowd in front of him slowly being eaten up by taxis.

Unlike public transportation such as buses and subways, taking a taxi is not something he can do just by putting on an invisibility cloak.

Staring blankly at the long line of taxis gradually driving away, Harry could only embark on his journey alone with a dejected look.

Although he had made countless bold statements before setting out, facing this completely unfamiliar place, Harry's heart was filled with a feeling of loss.

To be honest, he began to regret it.

But soon Harry shook his head violently, threw away the bad thoughts, and reaffirmed his beliefs.

'There's no turning back!'

Thinking of this, Harry found the direction and began to walk towards the wilderness outside the city.

He planned to stay away from the city, find a forest in the wilderness, and then build a wooden house to survive alone.

This is a very difficult thing for ordinary people, but Harry has absolute confidence in himself.

After all, he is a wizard.

With the help of magic, he didn't have to worry about water or a host of other things that would make ordinary people despair.

He also brought a "Wilderness Survival Handbook". With this book and the help of magic, it was easy to survive in the wild alone.

Imagining himself surviving freely in the wild alone, Harry seemed a little excited and his steps became lighter.

He had even begun to imagine himself getting along with the local wild animals in Iceland, hunting seals with polar bears, watching the northern lights with penguins, riding on elk, or finding some snow elves and trading wine and food with them.

As for whether there are the above-mentioned animals in Iceland, Harry doesn't know, but this does not prevent him from having endless fantasies about the future.

Perhaps deep down in his heart, this was more of a long picnic than a great escape.

Driven by his good mood, Harry quickly left the city.

Then, the smile that had been on his face since the beginning disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion.

Reality gave him a hard slap in the face. There were no large herds of wild animals or forests everywhere outside the cities in Iceland.

There was only endless wilderness and a winding highway with no cars on it.

Rubbing his stuffy chest, Harry continued to move forward. Now he could only hope that there would be a different scenery ahead.

What a pity, he had been walking for more than half an hour without seeing any living creatures or large tracts of forest.

Just when Harry was beginning to feel a little desperate, a small figure appeared on the distant horizon.

This made Harry so excited that he immediately took off his invisibility cloak and ran towards the man.

What excited him was that the other party seemed to have noticed him and began to speed up and rush towards him.

As the distance between the two grew closer, the smile on Harry's face grew brighter.

Because he could clearly see that the person running towards him was not a magical creature or a mirage, but a real human being, an Asian man with yellow hair!

Although the other person's appearance was a little strange, this was the first human he had met in more than half an hour. Through that person, he might be able to find a suitable place to start his wilderness survival journey.

"Oh my God! I am so glad to see you! My friend..."

Harry shouted excitedly, but his words suddenly got stuck halfway through, and the smile on his face turned into fear.

Because he found that the Asian man with blond hair moved so fast that he almost left an afterimage.

Moreover, although he was already less than fifty meters ahead of Harry, he showed no intention of speed bumping!
It felt like the other party wanted to knock him to death!
"who are you!"

Harry roared heartbreakingly, and at the same time, he moved his fingers slightly, and a wand appeared out of thin air in his hand.

However, his question did not receive any response. Instead of slowing down to respond, the blond Asian man showed a grim smile on his face.

Then, under Harry's horrified gaze, the man suddenly stretched out his arm, and then the muscles and clothes on that arm began to twist and deform in a tooth-grinding way, and finally turned into a sharp blade shining with cold light.

Harry now understood everything. The Asian man in front of him was none other than Victor's mechanical clone. Only Victor would chase him so relentlessly, and only Victor would use such a weird transformation!
For a moment, Harry's face turned pale. He knew very well that he was no match for the other party.

But this doesn't mean he has to sit there and wait for death!
"Except your weapons!"

A red light flashed from the wand in Harry's hand and shot straight towards Victor's clone that was rushing towards him.

This was the first anti-personnel spell Harry learned for dueling, and the most proficient offensive spell he had ever learned.

However, how could such a simple attack easily hit the target?

Victor stepped on the ground at high speed, then suddenly changed direction and easily dodged the red light.

Then, Harry's next spell came.

This time he had obviously learned from his last lesson and did not use a direct beam spell. Instead, he used transfiguration to turn the ground between them into a swamp.

It must be said that Harry did have some talent in Transfiguration, and he performed this sex change spell very well.

But it was still not good enough in front of Victor. Victor's clone just jumped lightly, and with the inertia brought by high-speed movement and powerful physical strength, it easily crossed the large swamp and came above Harry.

Then, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Victor's clone's mouth, and his right arm turned into a sharp blade, raised high, and slashed towards Harry fiercely!

This scared Harry a lot. From the actions of Victor's clone, he felt endless murderous intent.

He knew very well that the other party had no intention of capturing him alive.

Everything the other party did was to kill him!

The fear of death caused Harry's body to tremble violently. He wanted to do something with the wand in his hand, but at the moment his stiff limbs could not move.

In the end, Harry could only grit his teeth, close his eyes, and wait for death to come.

"Ting!~"

A crisp sound of metal colliding came from above Harry's head, which made Harry's ears hurt.

But what surprised Harry was that he didn't feel any pain in his body.

He reached out his hand doubtfully and felt around his body, but still found no injuries. Then he hesitantly opened his eyes.

At this moment, what caught his eyes was the clone controlled by Victor.

The only difference from his previous aggressive appearance was that at this moment he was actually lying on the ground, and there was a horrific cut mark on his body, spreading from his neck to his lower body, almost cutting him in half.

But what was strange was that Victor's clone, who had suffered such horrific injuries, was still struggling and there was no blood at the scene.

Harry turned his head in confusion, and saw that what appeared inside the horrific wound was not black and red blood or colorful internal organs, but a large flat piece of silver-white metal.

Moreover, the metal seemed to have life. At this moment, it was flowing like liquid, pulling the huge wound and slowly repairing itself.

This unexpected scene immediately made Harry overjoyed. After he reacted, he turned around and rushed towards the city.

Although he said that he didn't want to implicate innocent people, when the situation came to an end, the fear of death made him instinctively flee towards the place where the crowd gathered.

Unfortunately, he had just run a few steps when a big hand with five slender fingers grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him back violently.

"what!"

The huge force coming from his neck made Harry scream, and when he looked up, he saw a wizard wearing a black robe, with a hooked nose and greasy hair.

"Snape! Why are you here?"

Harry yelled in surprise.

He never expected to meet Snape here. He thought that Snape should be in his own laboratory still tinkering with potions at this moment.

But then a terrible guess arose in his mind.

"Are you here to steal the Deathly Hallows as well?"

Harry used a question, but his tone was very certain.

Because other than this, he couldn't think of any reason why Snape would be here.

However, in response to his question, Snape glanced at him with the contemptuous look that Harry was most familiar with, and said disdainfully:
"idiot!"

After saying that, he put Harry down and continued:
"Stay here quietly and don't go anywhere, got it?"

Harry nodded rapidly when he heard this, but as soon as he landed, he started running wildly.

But unfortunately, Harry did not master the quick-movement spell like the Apparition Charm, so he was soon caught by Snape again.

"I told you to stand still and not move! Don't you understand?"

Snape got close to Harry's face and growled at him at close range.

Harry gritted his teeth and glared at Snape fiercely with his emerald green eyes.

Harry's eyes were filled with moisture brewing from fear, which made the green in his eyes even brighter.

Snape looked at those eyes, and the angry expression on his face froze for a moment. Then he explained in a much more relaxed tone:
"Maybe you should use your giant brain to think about this! How do you know that he is the only one who wants to kill you? What if he has accomplices and you happen to be too far away from me, and I can't save you in time?"

Hearing this, the muscles on Harry's face twitched twice, and he grinned and said in a sarcastic tone:

"So, you are here to protect me?"

Snape was silent. He looked down at Harry's disgusting face, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes! So you stay here!"

Harry snorted coldly, looking very unconvinced on the surface, but after Snape let go of his hand, he no longer had any intention of running away.

Don't get me wrong, Harry, this is not really fragrant.

In fact, he had never imagined what Snape would say from the beginning to the end. In his opinion, if Dumbledore was still alive, Snape might still protect himself because of Dumbledore's orders, but now that Dumbledore was gone, Snape would not be so kind.

The reason he stayed was that he saw that Snape wanted to capture him alive.

You know, although Victor and Snape both wanted the invisibility cloak in his hand, the former wanted to kill him directly.

In that case, it would be better to just listen to Snape first and then watch them fight each other.

While Harry was thinking about the pros and cons, Victor, who was not far away, completed his self-repair and slowly stood up.
