Lily Evans' wand was still pointed at Snape's chest. But Harry laughed angrily when he heard her, and said in a breathless tone, "...... I also saw Philius lying on the floor in front of your office!"
Snape replied dryly, "That's right, I also let Granger and ...... What is the mad girl of Ravenclaw, is it that Lovegood ?—— take care of him, lest he collapse or freeze to death there. ”
Harry's anger was almost burning to the top. This despicable Death Eater attacked Professor Flitwick long before he went to the Astronomy Tower!
And then his surprise climbed to a new peak at the same time, for he heard Professor Evans say, "Yes, I almost stepped on them when I came out." ”
Harry's eyes widened in surprise, and then he saw Snape's emotionless eyes sweep towards him like a blade, and said, "...... It's clear that your resistance to the Unconscious Charm is much higher than that of Philius. You Gryffindors always have a strange power that can recover quickly. ”
...... What is he talking about?!Is he saying that earlier tonight, he not only locked Professor Evans in his office, but also attacked Professor Evans with a stun charm?!
Moreover, this villain did not forget to viciously attack Gryffindor with words at this time!
Harry jumped up in anger and pointed at Snape and shouted, "Professor Evans, catch him, he killed Dumbledore......"
Lily Evans looked back at him because of his shout. At the same time, Snape suddenly jumped backwards, rolled on the ground, and grabbed his wand in the dark grass - he must have seen it there a long time ago——!
Harry had forgotten to retrieve his wand, but Professor Lily Evans was standing in his way. He saw her swift move to block Snape's attack, and she didn't hesitate as if she had made up her mind.
"I can't pretend any longer, you chose your path, I chose mine. ”
Harry couldn't help but look up at her when he heard her say this, only to find a strange sadness and determination in her beautiful green eyes. Then, for some reason, he quickly turned his gaze to Snape across from him, and was surprised to find that he was trembling slightly. Harry wondered if this sentence was so lethal.
By the time Harry tried to figure it out, Lily Evans and Severus Snape were already fighting. Their fight was in a way very beautiful, with all colors of light flying through the air except the green ones, and they flickered and moved as if no one was hurt.
Harry had to admit that it looked like a close fight, so though he finally remembered to retrieve his wand from the grass, he couldn't decide whether he should come to his aid, for he feared that his presence would drag Professor Evans back and make a break in the wicked, gloomy old bat—
In the end, it seemed that Professor Evans was superior - Harry was surprised to find that she had also created Snape's own spell - and she sent a "Blade of Shadow" to Snape, and although Snape resisted, he seemed to stumble on the uneven hillside grass, lost his balance, and staggered back a few steps. Professor Evans seized the opportunity to cast several spells at him, and he stumbled backwards. Harry sat up, his head still dizzy from the hit on the ground, and Snape running as hard as he could, and Professor Evans seemed to be a step too late—Snape had already apparitioned outside the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Harry and Professor Evans, the only person he could now trust, lingered for a moment. Professor Evans didn't chase Snape anymore, but turned back to Harry's side, crouched down to take a closer look at Harry's injuries, and tried to give Harry a brief treat. Just then Hagrid and Toothtooth returned from the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid said that he was tending to the Tree Cauldron in the Forbidden Forest, but he heard movement outside the woods, and when he arrived, he found that his cabin had been burned down - he first angrily scolded the evil Death Eaters, and then asked Harry hopefully, "Dumbledore has something to do, right? There's nothing Dumbledore can't take care of......
Harry felt a sour nose and hot eyes. He was speechless, and Lily Evans seemed to quickly take over the whole scene. She picked up Harry and beckoned Hagrid to walk in the direction of the castle, telling Hagrid tiredly and succinctly as she walked that Dumbledore had been killed by Snape.
They returned to the castle and saw the crowd gathered and Dumbledore's body in the center of the crowd. Phoenix Fox hovers in the sky, singing a strange and poignant elegy. Harry made his way through the crowd, knelt next to Dumbledore's body, and began to sob. Ginny stepped out of the crowd and walked over to Harry, hesitated for a moment, then gently took him into her arms, stroked his unkempt black hair, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly. Tears also rolled down her eyes.
Professor McGonagall slowly drew his wand and held it high into the sky, the tip of the wand glowing slightly. Then more people joined in the mourning ritual, also drawing their wands and using a fluorescent charm, then pointing the tip of the wand to the sky. The faint light that danced at the tip of their rod was like a candle, reflecting the tears on everyone's face. The hideous black mark in the air has slowly dissipated at some point.
Liu Quan also drew his wand and pointed it to the sky, and whispered, "Fluorescent flickering." ”
A glimmer of light shone on the tip of her staff. She looked up at the glimmer of light, and behind it the vast expanse of darkness shrouded in dense layers of dark clouds.
She couldn't save the old headmaster's life, because it wasn't her mission, and it threatened to alarm that damn "plot inertia" - oh bastard! hell of the inertia! hell of the mission!
She hated these moments, and every moment like them was when she began to doubt her own abilities, and doubted that the whole task could be completed. She held her wand up to the sky, looking up at the little brightness that jumped on the tip of the wand, but thinking of the man who had fled in a hurry as if she had been unable to resist her fierce attack, the vile and vicious Death Eater who had lurked the deepest, Severus Snape at the moment.
Dumbledore could sacrifice everything, including his own life, for the greatest good. So in his eyes, others should be the same. Everyone now only scolds the gloomy and cold former Potions professor who was already unpopular for betraying Dumbledore's most cherished trust, and who would know that everything he did completely lived up to Dumbledore's most cherished trust?
...... I'm afraid that even he now thinks that he has betrayed his relatives and is isolated. Willow Springs remembered the look on Snape's face when their gaze first met on the hillside outside the Forbidden Forest.
At that time, there was tension and timidity on his face, and at that moment he seemed to be like a child who knew that he had done something unforgivable, but still naively hoped that he could be forgiven for some reason, but reason told him that it was impossible.
He didn't seem to know that she was fully aware of what had just happened on the tower, and understood him sincerely, and he looked at her as if he were ready to lose all his friends and dearest, but could not help but expect her to let go of his mistakes and let go of his mistakes as easily as she had done before, for the reasons of regret or love that he had rejected and despise, and not give up believing in him.
At that moment, if Harry wasn't around, if Hagrid wasn't all the rage, if Bellatrix or some other disgusting Death Eater hadn't gone far...... Liu Quan really wanted to leave everything, and rushed forward to hug the man who had just sent his most trusted and reliable elder and leader to a dead end, and put it in his ear, telling him clearly: It's okay, I understand you, I know all the reasons behind this, you have done the bravest thing and the bravest choice like Professor Dumbledore, I am proud of you-
Unfortunately, she couldn't.
At that time, Harry was still lying on the ground, glaring hatefully at the man who had silently protected him for six years. He, like everyone else, expected her to attack him, avenge Dumbledore, hurt him, and make him miserable. At the same time, she has her mission, her choices, and her mission to complete. And in order to accomplish this, to put an end to all this unbearable darkness and suffering, she can't do it now.
So she attacked him as Harry wanted, pushing and aggressive, uttering the most stinging words, using the most ferocious attack spells he had ever created, completely ignoring his repeated concessions and mercy - almost all of his defensive spells were used, and even if he used attack spells, the target would always be missed—he didn't want to hurt her at all, but she intended to kill the last bit of extravagance he had ever hoped for her.
In the end, she did succeed. She saw the despair in his eyes, and then he turned away from her side again. In his eyes, she may be nothing more than a blind madman, who, like the members of the Order of the Phoenix, has nothing to rub a little sand in her eyes, and looks down on him as a two-faced man who walks in the gray area on the edge of a cliff, just as Gryffindor and Slytherin hate each other.
Liu Quan's eyes were filled with tears at some point, slowly flowing down her cheeks. She stubbornly continued to look up at the night sky, which was full of heavy haze and dark clouds, and there was not a single trace of the stars and moon that Dumbledore loved.
It's up to us to do the rest. She thought.
In her mind, the book of poems that Dumbledore had given her this evening had been specially returned to her had been written by a great Muggle poet.
Dumbledore had instructed Dobby to bring her the book of poems, saying that he had finished reading it and thanking her for her generosity, but when she opened it, she saw one of the pages circled in faint golden ink.
I have kissed the world with my eyes and arms, I have hidden it in my heart layer after layer, I have drowned its day and night with my thoughts, until the world and my life are one. I love my life because I love the light of heaven that is woven with me. 】
[If leaving this world is as real as loving this world, then the encounter and separation of life must be meaningful. 】
In that moment she understood. These were Dumbledore's last words to her.
Dumbledore had completed his life's path and mission. Next, they had to grope their way through the darkness on their own.

So in fact, the girl and the professor are just acting.
In fact, the professor didn't put the girl unconscious in his office before going to the Astronomy Tower.
Under the premise that the two of them have not rehearsed their lines in advance, they can actually act so well, which can be regarded as an alternative tacit understanding [Hey!
