HP: Hogwarts Snake

Chapter 404 The Coldness of Being Needed

In Harry's eyes, Cynthia rushed over and pushed him away, saving him from a spell.

"You're here?" Harry, ignoring the eager gazes of the silver masks and the disarray he was in, flashes of surprise flashed in his emerald green eyes. He held onto Cynthia tightly, "Are you here for Sirius too?"

"Yes, fools met here because of fools," Cynthia pushed him away, swung her basilisk bone wand, and knocked down a Death Eater with a high shelf. "You can talk nonsense after you survive."

Cynthia was tricked by Maggie, but with her good magical talent and a super powerful wand, she helped Harry and his friends a lot. After a few spells, they almost gained the upper hand.

But then, the Death Eaters grew stronger.

Cynthia clearly felt this and became stronger unexpectedly.

The Death Eaters regained the upper hand, and Cynthia and Harry retreated in a hurry, running around in the huge Ministry of Magic.

While escaping, fighting back and screaming, Cynthia's eyes swept over every black-robed man with a silver mask, but she did not see Maggie's familiar figure among them.

Combined with the sudden increase in the strength of the Death Eaters, Cynthia was certain of one thing - Maggie was not among those who would carry out tonight's plan.

Annika had indeed lied to her a lot, but the information about the plan actually matched what Maggie had just said, so the information about Harry was correct.

She remembered Annika saying that this was the Dark Lord's mission.

Maggie's external identity is Voldemort's son, but she is not worthy of the title of Dark Lord.

Maggie only appeared in front of her, and hid in the dark, quietly strengthening the spells of those Death Eaters. It seemed that Maggie was not only not among the executors of the plan, but also should not appear in this plan.

It was very inappropriate. Maybe Voldemort had clearly hinted that Maggie Riddle shouldn't come.

Humph, he really cares about her and is willing to take the risk of being suspected to come and plot against her.

Cynthia sneered in her heart, but she also found a way to survive tonight.

Maggie would cast a spell on Sirius, but it also said that either he died or she died. Given that man's bad personality, the spell must have been cast when she had a choice, and she would have used enough hints to inform her of this choice.

Since he cannot show up, he can only cast this killing curse when others cast spells.

Then, just try your best to control the situation and not give him the opportunity to free ride, or create an event that prevents him from doing so when he has the opportunity -

Harry!

Cynthia thought of this savior and decided to drag him over to block the knife when necessary. In her impression, Maggie was cautious with this person.

In fact, it's not just Maggie. Many people are cautious about this boy. If they really want to kill him, it's just a matter of casting a curse. There are many opportunities to do so in school. He can even escape from Azkaban now. Even if he is tried and imprisoned for killing someone in school, there is a great possibility that he will be released.

Even if we take a step back and say that someone unfortunately died because of killing the savior, their family should still receive great help. Cynthia doesn't believe that there are no such cold-blooded speculators among the students' parents.

But the fact that Harry Potter is still alive and well today only means that there is not only no implied reward behind his death, but there is also a high probability that there is an order not to harm him.

As for why there was such an unreasonable order, Cynthia did not delve into it. She only knew that she would pull Harry over to stand in front when necessary.

As they fled, Cynthia moved closer to Harry.

She was just a little too focused on Harry. Cynthia White had been around selfless people for a long time, but her selfish nature did not change. After only focusing on Harry, she failed to wave her wand in time many times when she could have helped.

In this way, in the room with a platform that they finally rushed into, surrounded by more Death Eaters, only Harry and Cynthia climbed up the platform. They were holding wands and suffered less injuries than others.

"Potter, you're done! Hand it over! You have no bargaining power!"

Lucius was the first to remove his mask, a smug blush on his face. He held out his hand to Harry and asked for the prophecy again.

Harry was struggling in the face of defeat and listening to the roars of his companions fighting. Cynthia treated Lucius as a background figure and nonsense. She looked at the prophecy in Harry's hand and realized that this was also very important.

Along the way, she heard it. It was a prophecy between Voldemort and the Savior.

A prophecy containing information about Voldemort's death.

Maggie, who had marked Voldemort as an enemy from birth, definitely wanted this.

Ah, it seems that she really needs to have more self-awareness. Maggie is not taking risks for her.

"Give it to me, Harry," Cynthia finally understood this and held out her hand to Harry. Of course, she wanted to hold the magic wand in her own hands. "My wand and spells are more powerful. Give it to me, Harry."

Cynthia's voice sounded very anxious, and it sounded no different from those Death Eaters who were eager for their reward. Harry looked at her in surprise, but when he saw those green eyes, he handed over the prophecy.

At least those green eyes showed genuine happiness around Sirius.

The Death Eaters moved forward again, their eager eyes fixed on Cynthia who was holding the prophecy ball.

"Everyone, be careful," Cynthia, who had received the death-proof golden medal, immediately showed a different determination from Harry, "or I will smash it to pieces."

"Ah! Hmm-ah!"

Neville's suppressed wail rang out from the audience. The skinny Bella cast the Cruciatus Curse on him, then raised her eyes and looked at Cynthia cruelly and crazily. She screamed, "You dare not!"

"No! Leave me alone! Aaaah!" Neville cried, and then howled at a Cruciatus Curse.

Harry was extremely worried about Neville's wailing, and he was still thinking about Hermione who had been knocked down before. It was at this moment of guilt and heartache that Cynthia's cold voice rang out.

"It's no use to torture someone I don't know. I'm not that soft-hearted," Cynthia sneered. "Or do you think fulfilling Voldemort's wishes isn't enough of a bargaining chip?"

Harry looked at Cynthia in amazement, and the pressure on him inflated like a balloon - the people she didn't know came because of him, and he absolutely couldn't let them die.

For a moment, Harry regretted handing over the prophecy. At least the prophecy was in his hands, and he could still make some efforts for his friends in this helpless situation. However, in his peripheral vision, the Death Eaters' movements froze, and they exchanged hesitant glances, obviously shocked by Cynthia's words.

This ruthless approach is the right one, as it allows you to make the most of the only bargaining chip you have.

Harry understood this from the reactions of the Death Eaters, and his heart still felt as painful as a blunt knife cutting flesh. The knife was originally sharp, but it came from Cynthia's coldness, and then his indecision made the sharp edge dull, which tortured him even more.

But beyond the heart-wrenching torment, Harry was grateful for Cynthia's arrival and ruthlessness. He understood that this was exactly what they needed now.

"See? This is the real bargaining chip!"

Cynthia shouted loudly, speaking to both the Death Eaters in the open and Maggie in the dark.
