Chapter 51 Help

"How do you still have the face to say this family name from your mouth!"

Lily squeezed out these words from her teeth, her body was trembling, and there was no way to suppress the hatred inside!

Seeing her like this, the smile on Snape's face became more and more disdainful, became increasingly sarcastic, as he said slowly and reasonably.

"Why should not I have the face to say this family name, Lily, just because the man who has been bullying me since my student days is dead? Whose family now has a stinky reputation in the magical world? Well, that's something that would make me happy, and as for you--"

His smile grew unrestrained.

"Don't forget, I begged for your life, without me, you would have died that night with that damned pest and that little bastard! So, you are the one that supposed to be ashamed of how you spoke to your saviour like that!"

The sharp words pierced Lily's whole body like needles, she couldn't stand it any longer, and her hatred for Snape was transformed into killing intent, which manifested into a curse!

"Avada Kedavra!!!"

The ghastly white-green colour cut a straight line in the darkness, and like a venomous snake, it aimed at Snape to reap his life!

However, the black mist around Snape surged, it is a magic that he learned from his lord, which is a symbol of his status of being only under one person, which allows him to travel through the sky without any resistance even without relying on any means of flight.

Such dexterity allowed him to easily avoid the fatal killing curse, while he also aimed his wand at Lily.

"After all these years, all you have learned is to retaliate against your saviour?"

His whisper was like rainwater that burrowed into Lily's ears, and at the same time, an invisible sharp blade burst out from the tip of his wand, cutting through the dense curtain of rain!

The shield charm faithfully protected Lily from that spell, but the light blue glowing shield soon shattered!

The sound of Snape's incantation, which was recited before the sharp blade was formed, was drowned out under the heavy downpour.

"Sectumsempra!"

The first moment they were brought to the wagon by Fawkes, Kingsley and others did not hesitate to join the battle outside the wagon.

Except for Lily, who was fighting Snape one-on-one in very high, every other professor was facing double-digit numbers of Aurors and Death Eaters.

This is still the case even when Dumbledore already assumed eighty percent number of the pressure; even if the strength of Slughorn, McGonagall and Flitwick is second only to the top few people in the magic world, they still are not strong enough to completely ignore the number of enemies.

And only after Kingsley, Moody, and nearly other 100 Order of the Phoenix members joined the battle, was the pressure on the professors greatly relieved.

But McGonagall's face did not show any sign of relaxation, she raised her wand and shot down an Auror who tried to sneak up onto her side, and shouted in a serious tone.

"Did you leave someone to watch over inside the wagon, Alastor?! "

Moody screamed and cursed at the scumbags while using a blasting curse to blow up the shield charm of a group of Death Eaters in front of him.

"We are all just guarding the wagon outside right now! If anyone could get in, it would be only after we are all dead!"

"But there were already their people supposed to be in the wagon! If you all came out, then how would the children in the wagon be kept safe!" McGonagall's voice was urgent.

Beside her, Kingsley explained in due course.

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, it was Dumbledore's decision to provide reinforcements outside the wagon, so he would have arranged something for that."

His words let McGonagall's anxious heart settle down a bit, in their midst, Dumbledore is the absolute anchor, no one will doubt any of the decisions he made.

But just as McGonagall sighed in relief, a spell suddenly struck a fat figure, causing her pupils to suddenly shrink!

The green colour of the spell made it difficult to tell whether it was a killing curse or something else, but Slughorn's body fell helplessly from the sky towards the ground after that.

"Horace!!!"

***

The great hall was quiet.

The dim chandeliers swayed beneath the ceiling, reflecting on the pale, nervous faces of each and every student.

Filch, the only adult here, could not hide the panic and restlessness in his heart as he wandered back and forth between the students.

Jon huddled in the corner of the room after entering the great hall, he stared blankly at the door of the hall, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

"Don't worry, with the professor and the others, the school will be fine."

Neville whispered to comfort Justin, whose body was shaking from fear, and this time even Lavender, who had behaved very strongly in the past, pursed her white lips and sat on the floor holding her knees without saying a word.

They all saw the wizards in the sky as if they were dark clouds, and knew better than anyone else that this attack would be different from the previous two, just the difference in numbers, even if all the students are added in and then multiplied by ten, they are no match for these Aurors and Death Eaters.

Looking at Jon, who never made a sound since he came here, Ron, who is also worried about the battle outside, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"How come you become this depressed, Jon, cheer up a bit, you are not behaving like the Jon we knew before. "

Jon finally seemed to come back to his senses, he did not speak first, and instead let out a deep exhale, before looking at Neville and Ron with great seriousness.

"Can you guys do me a favour? "

The eyes of Neville, Ron, along with Justine and Lavender, all turned to him.

"Help me attract Filch's attention. "

Jon's voice was calm, but the other four looked at him like he was crazy.

"What are you thinking? "

Neville asked in a voice full of disbelief as he raised his voice, only to lower it again.

"I want to go out, but if I just go out like this, Filch will definitely try to stop me, so I need your help. "

Jon's voice sounded as calm as if he wanted to return to his dorm room right now to get something and then come back again, like an insignificant trivial matter.

Ron's voice, however, became excited and thrilled at this point.

"Did you notice something? Is it up to us to save the school now that the professors aren't on the wagon? "

Jon shook his head.

"Sorry, it's not about saving the school, I can't tell you what I'm going to do yet for some reason, but I'm not going to risk my life or endanger the school, can you help me? "

He looked at Neville, who was usually the most observant, and locked eyes with him.

Neville gritted his teeth, then suddenly turned his head to look at Justine.

"Are you physically ill right now, Justin?"

Justin looked at him with a blank face at first but soon responded as well.

"Ah, yes! I'm so sick, that I need someone to look after me."
