Homecoming from Hogwarts

The broken snow falling from the gray sky wiped out all the noisy sounds, and even the wind wandering in the dead silent manor was quiet.

The world was so quiet as if all life had died.

But Voldemort, sitting on the marble steps, knew that it was just his illusion. At least, his stupid woman who was peeping from behind the curtains on the second floor was still alive.

She is indeed a stupid woman and she is guilty of a heinous crime.

She actually used the potion that Brian gave her to heal herself.

Although her panic was understandable under the circumstances, it actually led to serious consequences.

In the past, Bellatrix would undoubtedly have been executed for the crime of tarnishing the great Lord Voldemort's name.

Even considering her loyalty, the most he could do is let her go in peace before bestowing death upon her.

But in the end, he did not kill Bellatrix, for reasons he could not explain.

Looking at this hypocritical world that made him sick, Voldemort put on an indifferent face to hide his fear.

In the end what happened?
Why would he choose to forgive Bellatrix?

What had Brian done to him, what magic had he cast, what was he trying to accomplish?
unknown--
To him, this was what frightened him the most.

Isn't Voldemort supposed to be omniscient?

Why are there so many unanswered questions?

Voldemort stroked Nagini's head gently.

The war that just ended.
He failed miserably again.

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Brian had fought him off, and of course, Brian himself was hanging by a thread.

When he rushed towards him, he gave Brian a hard blow. It would be difficult for Brian to survive under that spell.

But. How is Brian now?

And what about Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two old guys who should have been in the grave waiting to be corrupted?
What are they doing over there now?
Celebrating their extremely lucky victory in defeating Voldemort?

All these questions need to be answered so that he can decide what to do next.

But no one went to find out the news for him.

Even with Voldemort's heart as cold as ice, he couldn't help feeling a little sad at this moment.

How could the great Voldemort fall to the point where no one is available to him?

No.
There is one more.

Voldemort turned his head and looked up at the second floor expressionlessly. The woman behind the curtain immediately looked away as if frightened, curled up on the bed and dared not move.

After hesitating for a moment, Voldemort finally did not give Bellatrix any orders.

Just because she served Voldemort.

Voldemort thought.

It would undoubtedly be very dangerous to sneak into Hogsmeade to gather information now.

But as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, confusion and anger flashed across Voldemort's blood-red pupils, as if this thought was very funny to him.

"Nagini—"

After a long silence, Voldemort patted Nagini, who was curled up in his arms. Nagini immediately stood up, her cold snake eyes reflecting his face.

"I need you to help me check the situation." Voldemort said in a cold tone.

As if sensing the coldness in his tone, Nagini's arched snake body shrank, and then she slid off Voldemort's body.

Watching the ripples in the air being smoothed out, Voldemort remained expressionless.

Under the current circumstances, it would be unwise to send Nagini out to investigate the situation, because Grindelwald and Dumbledore are both in Hogsmeade, and they might find Nagini and kill her.

but--
Voldemort's eyes dropped to the caduceus which lay beside him.

It didn't matter anymore, there was nothing for him to worry about.

He possessed supreme magical power. The double snake staff became his Horcrux, and even though Dumbledore and Brain knew his secret, they could not destroy it.

"Now, all we have to do is wait quietly."

Voldemort's whispers lingered in the silent world.

hiss--
The scent of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy mixed together and wafted in from the direction of the village.

Why are these two people mixed together?
Also, why was Narcissa Malfoy in Hogsmeade? Did she sneak away and betray her master?

And what are these humans doing?
Nagini's snake eyes flashed with human confusion.

But after a moment, the confusion in the snake's eyes disappeared, replaced by a hint of relief.

It couldn't gather information in public, but Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, who were away from the crowd, were suitable targets.

If it could kill Harry Potter here, it would definitely be rewarded by its master!
hiss--
With a hiss of excitement, Nagini disappeared into the alley.

It took off its disguise and swam quickly along the shadows, passing by human buildings, and soon arrived at the entrance of Hogsmeade village.

It was indeed only those two boys!
Lurking in a villager's pumpkin field at the entrance of the village, the snake's head quietly raised up and poked out its broad leaves.

They sat on a rock not far away, shoulder to shoulder, facing the direction of the wilderness, seemingly talking about something!
This is undoubtedly a godsend!
Nagini turned her head and looked in the direction she came from.

The wizards were all gathered at the end of the village and could neither see nor hear anything happening here.

It could kill Harry Potter first, then bring Draco Malfoy to the Dark Lord for questioning!

Nagini bared its ferocious fangs, crawled on the mud, and carefully left the cover of the pumpkin field.

The hard scales rubbed against the stones on the muddy ground, making a slight rustling sound, which was quite clear in the quiet snowy environment.

But fortunately, the two careless boys were so busy talking that they didn't notice.

Nagini tried her best to restrain her desire to kill. She carefully looked for every stone where she could hide her body, getting closer and closer.
"You don't know--"

Nagini was close enough now, only twenty feet away, that she could hear Draco clearly and could leap forward and grab Harry Potter by the throat.

"I don't want to admit it, but I've been targeting you because I'm jealous--"

It's now!

There was a flash of intense red in Nagini's snake pupils, and it suddenly jumped up from the ground, turning into a black shadow and pouncing towards Harry Potter. It seemed as if it had already seen its fangs piercing Harry Potter's throat!

However, it is not the only one that has been waiting for its opportunity!
"Do it, Malfoy!"

Harry suddenly roared, and he and Draco jumped at the same time. Turning around in mid-air, they could see the shock and anger in the snake eyes of Nagini who had silently touched behind them!
Hiss!

The snake's mouth with sharp serrated fangs spewed out a terrifying fishy smell, but neither Harry nor Draco showed any fear. All they had was rage that could burn everything!

Before they landed on the ground, the wands in their hands had already fallen!
The brilliant, thick red lightning and the cursed sword flashing with sharp black light simultaneously crossed the space and bombarded Nagini's head!
