Chapter 741 You're back!!
Darren ignored Hermione and the others' thoughts and waved his wand, moving the box away.
He then opened up the small passageway as well.
He was the first to rush in.
The look of pain still lingered on Snape's face.
But when he saw Darren, his eyes were filled with guilt.
"Sorry... take it..."
A bunch of silver things appeared in Snape's ears, mouth, and eyes. Darren waved his wand.
He collected all those things together and put them in a glass bottle.
Snape closed his eyes sadly and collapsed.
“Darren…”
Hermione called out softly.
But Darren didn't say anything.
He waved his wand, and a bunch of potions appeared beside him.
He poured the bottles down Snape's throat one by one.
I don't know how many bottles they poured.
He finally noticed that Snape's breathing had become steady.
It's obvious that this half-blood prince, the old sycophant who died in the Screaming Shack in the original story, survived.
"Darren, should we take him to the school infirmary?"
Hermione asked cautiously.
Darren shook his head.
He cast a Disillusionment Charm on Snape and then stuffed him into a cabinet in the Shrieking Shack.
“Darren…”
Harry wanted to say something.
But at that moment, a loud voice interrupted him.
It's Voldemort.
Voldemort's voice echoed throughout Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
"You put up a brave resistance."
Lord Voldemort admires your courage.
But you have suffered enormous losses. If this continues, you will die one by one, and the werewolves and giants will become even more frenzied.
Lord Voldemort does not want this to happen.
Every drop of a wizard's blood is precious, so Lord Voldemort will give you one hour.
I will order my Death Eaters to withdraw. You have one hour to settle the dead and let them leave with dignity.
Now, Harry Potter, I want to speak to you directly. I want you to come and face me instead of letting your friends go to their deaths!
I will wait for you in the Forbidden Forest for an hour. If you do not come out after an hour, the battle will continue, and I will personally take to the field!
"Harry Potter, I will punish every man, woman, old man, and child who harbors you, not one, for an hour!"
Voldemort's voice finally stopped.
Darren turned to look at Harry.
“Brother…I will go in your place. You only need to kill Nagini!”

"Don't talk nonsense, neither of you are allowed to go!"
Hermione shouted.
Ron's face still showed traces of fear.
He instinctively wanted to reach out to Ladaren and pull him away. But then he seemed to remember something and took a step back.
Darren's face turned pale.
But he pretended not to see it; he simply closed his eyes sadly.
"Let's go back first!"
Harry said softly.
The four of them walked silently into the castle.
The journey back was extremely quiet.
Ron looked guilty, as if he was trying to mentally prepare himself.
Hermione didn't react much.
As for Harry, he was lost in thought.
Darren pretended that he was still unable to extricate himself from the truth Voldemort had announced.
They returned to the castle with heavy steps.
The castle was very peaceful.
It was just ruins, looking particularly desolate.
Ginny and the others were crying around someone.
Darren looked around; the students weren't very familiar to him.
Even though he told himself that war is bound to end in death, a sense of melancholy still arose in his heart.
Hermione went over and hugged Ginny, and they both cried.
They kept walking.
Mrs. Weasley is comforting Tonks.
Tonks' mother knelt before her father.
They were sobbing.
“You’re back…”
But you can see that the werewolf bit his face.
Neville lay on the ground, covered in blood, but he was still alive.
Mrs. Pomfrey was treating him. Percy saw Ron.
He beckoned.
Ron returned to the Weasleys.
Harry and Darren are gone.
They continued walking forward in silence.
None of them spoke.
Harry wanted to say something to Darren, but he couldn't say anything.
He felt so sad he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry at all.
He thought they were the closest of brothers, but Darren had Voldemort's blood.
The more he thought about how his mother was conceived by Voldemort, the more painful it became for him.
They instinctively walked toward Dumbledore's office.
Standing at the door of Dumbledore's office, Darren thought he would have to guess the password.
But it's not necessary.
As soon as he arrived there, the two ugly stone statues in the office moved aside.
They revealed the staircase behind them.
Darren and Harry climbed up the stairs.
They stood in what used to be Dumbledore's office.
This round office is somewhat different from the previous ones.
The biggest difference is that all the previous portraits of the principal have been removed.
They all seemed to have run to the portrait at the very front of the castle to observe how things were unfolding.
