Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

The one-sided crushing victory continued; Dumbledore and Grindelwald joined forces, and the Death Eaters had no way to deal with them.

The Hogwarts students relaxed, while the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic gradually joined the battle, attacking the Death Eaters from the sidelines, trying their best not to affect the two big shots' performance.

"Potter".

Harry, who was questioning Hermione about his experiences at the edge of life and death, suddenly heard Snape calling him and looked at him strangely.

However, Snape didn't say anything. He first looked at Hermione, who was standing to the side. He had heard that Hermione had fainted, but now she seemed to be alright.

Then Snape said to Harry in a low voice, "Come with me, you're all alone."

With that, Snape turned and walked into the castle without looking back.

Harry and Hermione exchanged a puzzled look, but Harry obediently followed them, only reminding Hermione before leaving to look after the advanced class.

"Professor, where are we going?"

On the way, Harry asked Snape curiously.

Although he didn't get along well with Snape, at this crucial juncture, he couldn't possibly go against Snape.

"Principal's Office."

"?"

Professor Dumbledore is right outside, why would he go to the principal's office?

Or are you going there to retrieve something?

Although Harry was puzzled, he refrained from asking because he could see that Snape's expression was not very good.

The two arrived at the headmaster's office, and Snape skillfully opened a hidden compartment in the wall, revealing the Pensieve.

Then Snape pulled a memory bottle containing white silk threads from his pocket.

He turned to look at Harry, and for the first time Harry saw hesitation on Snape's face.

Especially since the object of this hesitation was Harry.

But in the end, Snape silently beckoned to Harry, signaling him to come over.

This simple waving gesture felt strangely incongruous to Harry.

Because Snape always coldly ordered him around, this friendly gesture of beckoning like a kind elder made him feel somewhat out of place.

Harry clearly realized that something big was about to happen, and slowly moved closer.

Unlike usual, Snape showed no impatience with his slow movements, simply watching him quietly.

"The principal said that you have to make the choice yourself."

Snape said calmly, then handed the memory bottle to Harry.

Harry took the memory bottle, looked at it in his hand, and then looked at Snape.

Snape looked toward the Pensieve, and Harry understood what Snape meant: he wanted him to look at the memory bottle right now.

Harry unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the white memory thread into the Pensieve.

Then he lowered his head.

......

Memories are shrouded in a layer of gray.

Harry finds himself still in the headmaster's office, with Dumbledore sitting alone at his desk.

His eyes seemed to pierce through the barrier of memory and reality, staring directly at Harry, who belonged to the bystander.

"Harry, if you are seeing this memory, it means we have reached a critical moment."

"I can't tell you these things in person, perhaps because I'm dead, or perhaps because I'm too busy to care about you."

"But none of that matters. What matters is the choice you make next."

A hint of guilt appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"Harry, do you know why you have a mental connection with Voldemort?"

"Why do you have a Parsley voice like Voldemort?"

"This is because a part of Voldemort's soul is living inside you."

Harry was initially puzzled as to why Professor Dumbledore would suddenly say these things, but upon hearing the end, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Back then, Voldemort used the Killing Curse to kill you, but it was deflected by Lily's magic, and the Killing Curse struck his own soul instead."

"His soul was thus split, and one part of it attached itself to the only living thing at the scene, which was you, Harry."

"You are Voldemort, a Horcrux that was accidentally created..."

At this point, Dumbledore fell silent, seemingly considering the words he would use next.

Harry understood Dumbledore's meaning.

Voldemort's Horcruxes must be destroyed...

Therefore, he must die...

Otherwise, they would not have been able to truly defeat Voldemort.

"The only way I can think of that can both protect you and make Voldemort's remnant soul disappear from your body."

"It means having Voldemort kill you himself..."

"Harry, I have no choice but to gamble. I told Kevin not to stop Voldemort from using your blood to resurrect himself, all for this moment."

"I bet Lily's magic will protect you, and at the same time, it will allow Voldemort to resonate with the remnant of his soul within you."

"That way, when Voldemort uses the Killing Curse to kill you, the curse might strike his own remnant soul instead, and your soul might remain unharmed."

"But that's only in theory. The most likely scenario is that you and Voldemort's remnant soul will be destroyed together."

"I'm so sorry, child..."

That's the end of my memory.

......

Harry jerked his head up, panting heavily.

Snape stood quietly beside him.

He rested his hand on the Pensieve, seemingly digesting the contents of the meditation.

"Professor, why do I seem to have no choice..."

After a long silence, Harry suddenly smiled helplessly.

Knowing the truth, he could no longer choose to live a life of ignominy.

He had considered fighting Voldemort to the death, and even thought about spending his entire life with Voldemort.

I never imagined that I would obediently let Voldemort kill me.

That's quite sarcastic.

No, you still have a choice.

At this moment, Snape spoke slowly from the side.

"Kevin already knew about your situation and has developed a spell to sever the soul. Once we find the location of Voldemort's remnant soul within you, we can destroy him."

"Severing the soul?"

Harry looked up, remembering the Avada Kedavra that Kevin had used on him during the holidays, which he said was prepared to deal with Voldemort.

Was it actually prepared for him?

No wonder they asked him if he felt relaxed when they used it on him; they wanted to see if they could cut off Voldemort's remnant soul.

Harry's eyes gradually hardened; he knew what to do.

As previously stated, he will not run away.

Kevin and Dumbledore have done so much for him; he cannot let them down.

According to Hermione's intelligence, Voldemort and Kevin are currently fighting in a valley not far from Hogwarts.

......

Rumble!

Explosions occurred one after another.

In the valley, Kevin and Voldemort had been fighting one-on-one for quite some time.

Dozens of flaming spears were fired like raindrops, seemingly without regard for their own lives.

On the other side, dozens of thunder spears also came flying.

The Flame Spear clashed with the Thunder Spear.

The entire valley echoed with the sound of explosions and terrifying shockwaves.

"The Edge of Avada!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the explosion occurred, Kevin unleashed a spell.

However, Voldemort also found a way to deal with this move. Just like blocking the Killing Curse, there was an obstacle in the middle.

An earthen wall suddenly rose up, blocking Kevin's attack.

Before Kevin could continue his attack, his feet suddenly sank into a muddy swamp.

The mud gripped Kevin's feet, making it impossible for him to move.

Two giant rocks suddenly appeared and hurled themselves at Kevin.

However, before the boulders could fall, flames rose from Kevin's sword, extending the blade's edge. With a single swing, he shattered the two boulders.

At the same time, a stone wall suddenly rose from the swamp beneath Kevin's feet, pushing Kevin's body out of the swamp.

Voldemort took the opportunity to create distance.

He had come to realize that there was no advantage to fighting Kevin in close combat.

So he decided to use his immense magical power to overwhelm Kevin.

With a wave of his hand, dozens more lightning spears were generated.

Just as they were about to attack Kevin, a voice suddenly rang out!

"Kevin!"

Kevin and Voldemort both looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then Harry appeared, wand in hand.
