v4 Chapter 193： under that tree

Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts.

In that one-on-one duel, he survived and completed his own mission.

When he returned to Hogwarts, although he was mentally prepared, Dumbledore was still nervous when he saw the traces of those battles.

Fortunately, everyone lived up to Dumbledore's trust, and Hogwarts survived the catastrophe without any risk. When Dumbledore returned, everything was settled. The teachers and students of the Order of the Phoenix, Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic completely defeated the Japanese magicians and American purgers who dared to invade. Many of them were Died in the battle, and all those who didn't die were captured. The dementors who came from Azkaban are taking these dejected guys to Azkaban prison, waiting for them to be punished by life rather than death .

There was no joy on the face of Professor McGonagall, who had won the victory. Seeing Dumbledore appear, she hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Dumbledore's expression changed suddenly.

Hermione Granger is dead? ! Tom Yodell disappeared with her body? !

This was a bolt from the blue for Dumbledore.

"Show me the way."

Dumbledore was very aware of the consequences of this, so he hurried out of the castle and showed himself the way with his wand. After a few spells, Dumbledore found the man he was looking for, Tom Yodel.

He was sitting under a big willow tree on the edge of the black lake with Hermione's body in his arms. Hermione's head was resting on Tom's knee, Tom closed his eyes, he put his arm around Hermione and the other held his wand, and they both seemed to be asleep.

Dumbledore walked gently in front of the two of them and stood silently, like a marble statue.

"Buy them here." He instructed Professor McGonagall, who was chasing after him. Right now, he only felt powerless, as if all the bones in his body had been removed.

…

The ice-cold tip of the staff left his throat, and his eyes fell into endless darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a human voice resounded in Tom's ears.

"This way."

Tom opened his eyes and found himself back in the same old place: the platform of King's Cross.

But he is very clear that this is not the station in reality, this is the place where people will go after death.

Thanks to having died once, Tom is very familiar with this place.

As for why he is here? The cause of death is the death curse. After finding a place to his heart's content, Tom cast the unforgivable spell on him with Hermione in his arms.

He believed that Hermione was waiting for him at the station, and he couldn't keep Hermione waiting—he was going to come here and take Hermione back.

It's just that the experience this time seems to be a little different from the last time. In front of Tom is a young man in the uniform of a conductor who is leading the way for Tom.

Tom stopped, and the young conductor turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Won't you hurry up? It would be bad if you miss that train." The young man had blond hair and a very handsome face.

"Who are you?" Tom didn't want to be led by his nose, he had to figure out the situation.

"I'm an ordinary conductor." The young man showed a standard smile, "Send the guests on the train - if you don't want to take the train, there are other options. The customer is God."

Tom frowned.

After seeing Tom's expression, the young man thought for a while, "Are you asking about my name? I don't actually have a name. If you insist on having one, you can call me Avada."

"Avada?" Tom had a vague guess about the identity of the person in front of him.

"Yes," the young man nodded as if he had seen through Tom's heart, "don't you always say that Avada is dead, so my name is Avada is reasonable. The train is about to leave, are you going? "

Tom followed in Arvada's footsteps. No matter what, he had to go to the platform first.

It's just that this young man named Avada in front of him made him a little worried. He was worried that the guy had ruined his good deeds.

God of death, how could he allow the dead to escape from the palm of his hand?

The platform was not far away, and Tom was quickly brought to the platform, where a red steam train was already parked.

On the platform, a figure was looking out on tiptoe.

"Hermione!" Tom recognized the man at once. He rushed to Hermione's side in three steps and two, and hugged her tightly.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Hermione wiped the corners of his eyes, but her own eyes were also red.

"Why did you come here too?"

"miss you."

After a simple conversation, the two fell into silence with each other, and then looked at Avada in unison.

"You can get on this train together and start your new journey. Trust me, you can continue to accompany each other." Arvada shrugged and urged impatiently.

Tom shook his head. At this moment, there were bursts of phoenix chirping in the distance from the platform.

"Mr. Arvada, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, we don't plan to start a new journey - our journey has just begun!"

Hermione pursed her lips and said nothing, but held Tom's arm tightly.

Apparently, Arvada didn't like Tom's answer.

"Why break the rules?" He looked at Tom with dissatisfaction. "You've broken the rules once."

"That's not too much this time, isn't it?" The golden-red phoenix landed on a nearby lamppost, looking sideways at them.

Arvada was silent for a moment, as if being kicked, agreeing to Tom's request aggrieved.

"Okay, I hope next time I see you, you can follow the rules."

"Thank you." Tom and Hermione smiled. But when he was about to take the Phoenix back to the world of the living with Hermione, Arvada grabbed Hermione's hand.

"You can, she can't." He said seriously.

Tom: …

Hermione's smile froze.

"Be accommodating." How could Tom possibly accept this condition? The purpose of his coming here was to bring Hermione back. If it was according to what Arvada said, why would he be working so hard?

It is not difficult to see that he can jump between life and death repeatedly This guy, Arvada, obviously has a flexible bottom line, so it is not impossible to make a deal with him and fish out Hermione. possible.

Arvada closed his mouth, he looked at Tom, thought for a moment, and took out a golden scale from his arms.

At one end of the scale is a bright red heart.

"Pay enough price, and I'll allow you to bring one more person back - this is the bottom line!"

Tom held out his hand to Death and began offering chips to the other end of the scale.

When he started offering offerings, Tom understood the scope of offerings—what the **** of death wanted was not something real, but something ethereal, so he decided to give it a try.

He intends to put his own system on it.

He succeeded.
