Chapter 90: It's Her?!

Chapter 90: It's Her?!

"Why is there no one on the map? Has he already jumped inside? Fuck" Neville was moving stealthily on the second floor, and he checked the map, but he found no one was near the second-floor washroom and it was clearly empty.

While he was cursing his luck, he suddenly saw two Aurors coming down from the fourth floor, he knew he could not run straight anymore.

Finding no other option, he took out the portkey he was using as a necklace for this special purpose. It was a simple locket, but this was his key to jumping the Hogwarts apparition rule.

Tonight, he had to avoid the eyes and ears of Aurors, Professors and the great Dumbledore. Moving without alerting them was really hard and hence, Neville had to prepare himself for this in advance.

He does not have an invisible cloak, but he does have the skill to make his own portkeys. In the wizarding world, the most common thing to travel is Portkey and to use one, one must know his precise destination.

"Hooo.." Letting out a big puff of air and calming his emotions, he grabbed the portkey with his hands, and he was soon sucked inside before being thrown off on top of the place where the snake-marked tap should be present in the washroom.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Did you hear that?" One Auror asked another.

"Nope. Maybe those elves." The other older one replied.

"Yeah! Those are really working hard today. Moving here and then jumping to another place to decorate. Wish I could own one. My wife is killing me with all the nagging about homework."

The Auror said sadly, and both walked crossed the third and then second floor. The hallways were empty, and they made sure no lovers or night walkers were on some adventure hiding somewhere.

Headmaster Dumbledore felt a slight tingling but before he could grasp it, it disappeared.

"These elves are truly working hard on Halloween" Headmaster chuckled.

This slight apparition where it was done in a few seconds was only allowed inside Hogwarts for today and the Elves were doing it constantly today to prepare for the big feast.

No, he was not looking in the air like a fool but listening to the sounds on the ground. However, he found the only sound in the room was from these two humans and other than that, the flickering of flames inside the snakes' statue that were present on the sides of chamber.

"Okay not bad not bad.." Giving himself more confidence, Neville took out the pure vial of Mandrake Juice and drank it in one gulp.

It was fucking horrible. Neville can swear he had never drunk anything more bitter and worse than this potion.

"Hello, Harry Potter. You know ever since I met this weak girl, I had learned so much about the outside world, about you, about me that I cannot believe it!

A baby A newborn baby killed me!" Daphne Greengrass spoke in a strange mix of man-woman language.

Daphne waved her wand and Harry who was floating and flapping his hands was suddenly smashed to the ground in front of her feet.

Daphne stepped on Harry's head and kicked it to one side so she could see the bruised and battered face of Harry Potter. The Greatest Saviour of the wizarding world who managed to kill him.

"Potter. Potter Potter. How could I fall so low! It seems. I did make a lot of mistakes" Daphne spoke and tried to use her wand again but suddenly Harry moved.

"Expelliarmus" Harry shouted loudly and used his wand to attack Daphne Greengrass whose wand flew out of her hand, and she fainted after the attack.

"Wellwell. There is something about you" A floating translucent body of a young man, almost eighteen, handsome with a charming face appeared in front of Harry.

Harry could not recognise the spirit.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, or you may know me better as The Lord Voldemort!" The spirit spoke and he walked towards a large statue of snake's head.

"Open!" Lord Voldemort ordered, and the snake's head slid slowly down.
