Chapter 791: Resurrection (Edited)

"Albus, why don't we try the green potion from the cave, meow?"

(ΦωΦ)

After slapping Voldemort to silence him, Fish suggested to Dumbledore.

"Hmph!" Voldemort made a disdainful grimace.

"No need, it seems that Tom doesn't mind if we do that," said Dumbledore, looking at Voldemort and gesturing with his hand.

It was possible that Voldemort was deliberately acting as a cover, but he wouldn't continue doing so. After all, Dumbledore wasn't accustomed to this kind of torture, even if it was Voldemort.

"Let's proceed with this," Dumbledore continued, looking disappointedly at Voldemort.

Seeing that Voldemort remained in the dark, Dumbledore felt no need to say anything more.

"Proceed with what?" Voldemort looked at Dumbledore insolently, relying on his Horcruxes to resurrect. "Are you going to lecture me again about your boring 'love'?"

"No, Tom." Dumbledore calmly said, "I admit that just taking your life wouldn't satisfy me, but... your presence is too dangerous for others..."

"Hahahahahaha!" Voldemort burst into laughter, "You don't want me dead, do you, Dumbledore? Don't you despise such cruelty? And... you should know that as long as you haven't found all my Horcruxes, then you can't truly kill me!"

"Perhaps," Dumbledore didn't argue with him, but raised his wand and aimed it at Voldemort.

"Do you really want to kill me?" Voldemort's smile quickly faded, his scarlet eyes narrowed, and he had a slight sense of foreboding.

Although Dumbledore hadn't been able to find his last Horcrux, Voldemort felt that something was wrong since Dumbledore had to fake his death to kill him.

However, before he could say anything else, Dumbledore answered his question with a practical response...

"Avada Kedavra."

There was a flash of green light, and Voldemort was dead.

On his face remained the astonished expression before his death.

"Oh..."

Dumbledore let out a long sigh as lifeless Voldemort fell to the ground.

One of Dumbledore's few regrets in his hundred years of life was not being able to guide Voldemort and discover his ambition and cruelty earlier, and now that he was likely to die for real, Dumbledore couldn't say how he felt.

Gathering his thoughts, Dumbledore turned to Fish and said, "It's up to you, Fish... if you fail, it won't matter, we'll just have to work a bit harder, and... Harry may have to take some risks."

He looked somewhat guilty at Harry.

"No, it's alright, Professor," Harry smiled.

He was willing to sacrifice himself, but his fear of death wouldn't disappear.

On the other hand, both Snape and Sirius had complicated expressions, and in the end, the two rivals tacitly placed their hopes on Fish.

"Don't worry, meow!"

(´ω´)

Fish patted their chest and said confidently, "The information Fish obtains when awakening those spells is never wrong, meow!"

With that, Fish transformed into their Tree form.

Although it's possible to use the resurrection spell without becoming a tree, Fish saw that everyone was very cautious and naturally chose the safest form for the first resurrection.

Fish pointed their branch-formed hands towards the fallen Voldemort, then held their breath and unleashed their resurrection spell, [New Life].

|つΦωΦ|つ

A vibrant emerald green glow appeared in Fish's hands, the two glows swirled around Fish's hands, and Voldemort's body gradually shimmered green...

"Ah!"

Harry suddenly screamed in pain, violently covering his forehead.

Of course, Fish heard Harry's cry of pain, but they didn't know if they would have to wait for years if they abruptly interrupted the spell now. So, Fish merely glanced at Harry from the corner of their eye and checked that he only had the same pain in his forehead. For the moment, Fish ignored it and continued to concentrate on their spell.

As the green light on Voldemort's body grew brighter and brighter, Harry could clearly feel something being torn from the scar on his forehead.

On the other hand, the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand also made a "click" sound.

"Does that mean...?"

Dumbledore looked at the Elder Wand with small cracks in his hand and, instead of trying to retrieve it, he surprised Voldemort by placing it beside him.

"Heh, heh!"

|??a??|

With a cry, Fish raised both fists in the air, and a pillar of bright green light synchronously emerged from Voldemort's corpse.

At the same time, the Elder Wand that Dumbledore had placed beside Voldemort suddenly snapped in two, as if a gust of black air had flown out of it and landed on Voldemort's body. Simultaneously, a pool of blood gushed from Harry's scar on his forehead, and another stream of black air mixed with the splattered blood, entering Voldemort's body as well.

"Hoohoo..." Harry fell to his knees, gasping heavily.

He felt as if something had been taken from his body, and even his powers had diminished.

But instead of feeling lost, Harry was surprised, if he was correct, that the fragment of Voldemort's soul that had been in his head, along with Fish's resurrection spell, had returned to Voldemort's body.

It was easy to check...

Harry tried to imagine Parseltongue in his mind, then asked Sirius, "Is Parseltongue what I'm speaking?"

"No! No!" Sirius shouted excitedly, guessing what Harry was plotting.

Just then, Voldemort on the ground opened his eyes.

"What's happening?"

He looked around in confusion, realizing that he was still in the Muggle house, and that nothing seemed to have changed except that Fish had turned into a strange tree.

"Hahahaha!" Voldemort burst into laughter. "Dumbledore, you're as hypocritical as ever! Disgusting!"

He thought he had just been hit by something that wasn't the Killing Curse, but perhaps a Stunning Spell or something similar.

"Nyahaha!"

(≧◦◡◦≦)

Fish, who had returned to their human form, also laughed. "Have you seen that, Minerva? Fish has indeed resurrected Voldemort!"

"Resurrected?" Voldemort's laughter faltered. "What are you talking about?"

However, Fish didn't even bother with him. Fish ran towards Professor McGonagall and said, "Fish is a bit tired, nya... wants to take a nap." With that, Fish transformed back into their cat form and jumped into Professor McGonagall's arms.

Before falling asleep, Fish cast a rejuvenation spell on Harry, healing his bleeding scar on his forehead, which completely disappeared along with the lightning-shaped scar.

"You should see that before doubting Fish, Tom." Dumbledore pointed to the broken Elder Wand beside Voldemort and said with a smile, "It was an impressive idea to make a Horcrux with the Elder Wand. I would have never thought that the wand I had been using would be your Horcrux. It's a pity that Fish's resurrection spell seems to bring back all the fragments of your soul with it."

Voldemort stared blankly at the shattered Elder Wand on the ground, unsure if he had heard Dumbledore correctly.

"So... accept death for real, Tom."

Dumbledore suppressed a smile, raised Narcissa Malfoy's wand with a compassionate look, and recited the incantation once again...

"Avada Kedavra."

"No-!!!"
