A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 1107 The Last Horcrux

Spider's End Alley

Wormtail stood in the living room, looking fearfully at Sirius, Lupin, and Snape.

Following Tom's orders, after obtaining the Dark Lord's rune, he stayed at Snape's house.

He wasn't just sitting there doing nothing; he had just been feeding the little pet.

This snake ancestor, having followed the Black Demon King for several years, has grown increasingly temperamental and even wants to eat human flesh char siu buns.

This area is an abandoned industrial park, and most of the Muggles have moved away. Only Snape still lives here. Where are we going to find human flesh?

The insect's tail had no choice but to catch some of its own kind—rats.

He was hesitating about whether to mix in some rat poison when Snape returned.

If it were just him, that would be one thing, but he also brought back two familiar faces that Peter feared to the core—Sirius and Lupin!

Upon seeing the two of them, Insect Tail's face changed, his body trembled, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hello, Peter," Lupin greeted cheerfully. "It's been almost seventeen years, hasn't it?"

"Lu... Ping... Sirius..." Peter's voice was high-pitched, and a single tuft of hair on his bald head trembled.

"My friends... my old friends... what are you doing here...?"

"Of course I'm here to kill you, to avenge James and Lily."

Sirius Black's face flashed with excitement, and he said with murderous intent, "Or did you think I came here to catch up with you?"

As the two men approached, Peter suddenly burst into tears, looking like an oversized bald baby, trembling on the floor.

"Sirius, Sirius, please don't kill me... I didn't mean to hurt them... You're out of prison now... I've been punished too."

"Have you been punished?" Sirius shouted.

"Yes, you... although you were imprisoned for twelve years and lost your freedom, I also lived in fear for twelve years!"

This kind of mental torment is also very painful...

Sirius was so angry he laughed and reached out to grab the insect's tail.

He quickly dodged away, then grabbed Snape's leg and cried out in a hoarse voice:

"Severus, save me! We're all Death Eaters! If I die, the Dark Lord won't forgive you..."

Snape delivered a powerful flying kick, sending Peter flying more than a meter away. He gripped his wand tightly and said with disgust:

"Wormtail, my hatred for you is no less than that for the two of them, understand?!"

You shouldn't have killed her...you shouldn't have..."

Peter didn't know who "she" referred to, but he still cried loudly, seemingly in unbearable pain.

But his eyes darted around, and suddenly he raised his wand.

All three wands were pointed at him at the same time, and he was sent flying backward, crashing hard into the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, Peter slowly regained consciousness, struggled to open his eyelids, his expression dazed and his vision blurred.

Sirius strode over, grabbed the insect by the neck with one hand, and slammed it against the wall.

Peter's feet were off the ground, his back against the wall, and he was struggling to breathe.

"You bastard, seventeen years ago, you used this same trick to blow up half a street and then ran away from me."

Trying to pull the same trick again today?!

Lupin said softly, "It's time to put an end to all of this."

Wormtail desperately clung to Sirius's arms with both hands, making a last-ditch effort.

Sirius Black reached out and drew his wand, gently pressing the tip against Sirius's forehead, and coldly smiled:

"Peter, are there any last words...?"

The insect, its tail pointing towards the air, cried out loudly:

"Master...Master, I'll stay here as you said, please come and save me..."

Sirius Black looked down at the traitor, a smirk playing on his lips, and said mockingly:

"Wormtail, William asked me to pass on a message to you."

It was your second master, Tom Riddle, who told us about your presence here.

He's given up on you and wants us to deal with you.

The insect tail was stunned. He wasn't too angry; he just lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"How could this happen? No, I've done so much for him... Master, you promised me eternal life..."

Why did he abandon me... I trusted you so much!

He looked up at Sirius, his voice choked with emotion, and asked, "It shouldn't be like this, should it?"

The middle-aged man, who had been abandoned, was in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

It's unclear whether he regrets helping Tom, betraying Voldemort, or betraying James and Lily.

But none of that matters now; he is about to face his final judgment.

Lupin remained silent.

Sirius Black concluded, "Wormtail, do you remember, a long time ago at Hogwarts, you asked me... what Gryffindor is?"

Recite what I said to you back then, and I'll consider sparing your life.

Peter looked up in confusion, as if trying to remember.

But he really couldn't remember.

Sirius raised his wand and said softly:

"Respond to loyalty with love, to heroism with honor, and to...betrayal with revenge!!"

Peter suddenly realized that this was Gryffindor.

A light flashed, and he collapsed to the ground, his pupils rapidly dilating.

……

……

Snape pushed open the door and entered Wormtail's room.

He was looking for the serpent, but it escaped very quickly.

He raised his wand, about to pull back the covers on the bed, when a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the corner and bit at his forearm.

Snape rolled on the ground to avoid the snake's head, then leaped up again.

The snake's tail struck the spot where he had been a second earlier, instantly cracking the floor.

Snape retreated quickly, but the room was too small, and the snake's tail wrapped around his ankle, twisting its body.

They forcibly pulled him off the ground like a radish, spun him around, and threw him out, knocking down half of the bookshelf.

As the Neferpitou snake leaped forward, it lunged at Snape's head, but Snape swung his hand away.

"The Divine Blade is Without a Shadow!"

As the Neferpitou's blood gushed forth instantly, its speed did not diminish. Using gravitational potential energy, it slammed into Snape and quickly coiled around him.

The snake suddenly exerted its strength, its body swelling to the size of a bowl, as if trying to strangle him.

With a magical shield around him, Snape calmly reached into his pocket and pulled out the Sorting Hat.

Dumbledore had him bring it, and told him that it contained weapons that could destroy Horcruxes.

Snape reached into his hat, paused, and then pulled out a silver object with a gleaming handle inlaid with rubies…

etc.

Severus Snape,

A Slytherin,

The Gryffindor sword, a symbol of courage, has been summoned!

As Neferpitou tried to escape, before it could get away, Snape casually sliced ​​off one of its heads with a swift sword stroke.

Snape twisted his body, bent over to dodge the steel tail of the serpent, and swiftly slashed his longsword across, severing its tail before plunging it into the serpent's body.

Snape rode on the thick snake's body, running forward at high speed.

The sword in his hand cut through flesh and blood, and the wound quickly tore open and widened.

When he reached the highest point, he swiftly swung his sword again, sending the last head flying into the air.

The snake's body continued to move forward.

The snake and the Horcrux are dead!

Snape, sword in hand, pushed open the door and went out.

He glanced coldly at the corpse of the insect tail, then looked at Sirius and Lupin, who had been waiting for him.

Sirius looked back.

Their eyes met, but neither said anything sarcastic, nor did they start a fight.

Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the other was not injured.

They used to hate each other so much that they wanted to kill each other. Now, things may have eased a bit, but they still dislike each other.

Although we dislike each other, it doesn't stop us from being comrades-in-arms at this moment... fighting side by side!

……

……

Gringotts

A team led by Hermione and Fleur is heading toward Bellatrix's vault.

Breaking into Gringotts' vault is actually quite simple; you only need two things:

typical,

key.

Tunnels can't be dug; Gringotts' vaults are located deep underground, and the wizarding world doesn't have tunnel boring machines.

It would take countless years to dig through, not to mention the magical protection surrounding it.

But William had long ago stored a vanishing cabinet in his vault, so he could return at any time.

This is equivalent to infiltrating silently.

As for the key, all you need to do is grab a high-ranking British Gringotts executive and bring him into the vault.

Therefore, they traveled smoothly without any obstacles and were not even discovered by the fairies.

Upon arriving at Bellatrix's vault, under Fleur's control, the fairy placed her hand on the wood, and the vault door disappeared, revealing an opening.

The vault, having been untouched for over a decade, also triggered a magical alarm.

The seven-person team, consisting of Cedric, Cho, Anne, the twins, Tonks, and Neville, immediately placed their hands on the fortress to block the goblins.

Hermione and Fleur led Bellatrix into the vault.

The cave was filled from floor to ceiling with gold coins and gold goblets, silver armor, and the fur of various strange animals with spines or drooping wings.

The potion was contained in a bottle, and there was also a skull still wearing a crown.

Hibiscus gazed at those things, trying to find the golden cup William had mentioned.

Hermione warned, "Don't touch it! It has the Fireball Charm and the Replication Charm on it!"

Bellatrix has been captured for over a year now, and under the influence of truth serum, what can't they get out of him?!

However, the Fire Curse and the Copying Curse only target intruders and are ineffective against the vault owner.

"Go and find what Voldemort gave you," Hermione commanded Bellatrix to go forward.

She walked into the mountain of gold and, in a corner, took out a small cup:

This is a gold cup with two exquisite handles.

It once belonged to Helga Hufflepuff, then passed to Hepzba Smith, and was eventually stolen by Tom Riddle and made into a Horcrux.

But now, it has fallen into Hermione's hands.

All she needs to do is destroy it to destroy the last inanimate Horcrux.

Just then, Anne rushed in and whispered urgently:

"Hermione, have you found it? The goblins are attacking us with a fire dragon, and we can't hold on much longer."

"Found it, let's go!" Hermione pulled out the Vanishing Cabinet and looked at Fleur:

"Tell William we've found the Golden Cup...he can kill Voldemort without worry."

……

……

(P.S. Let's make the most of this book's remaining value.)

Darker than twilight, crimson than blood, appear in the flow of time, and in your great name I offer my sacrifice in this darkness…

—Glory to Slytherin.

Those of you who are interested can take a look.
