Orochimaru travels to Hogwarts

Chapter 97 The Rising Dragon from Harry Potter

Chapter 97 The Rising Dragon from Harry Potter (Two chapters followed by a day off, then 10,000 words the day after tomorrow)

The Forbidden Forest once awoke.

That time, Professor Quirrell used Transfiguration to transform all the withered branches and leaves in the Forbidden Forest.

Some of them became upright tree-men, while others became wriggling snakes and pythons. However, compared to the shapeshifting army created by Professor Quirrell, the shapeshifting spell cast by Voldemort wielding his wand was far more terrifying.

Orochimaru, who had just stabbed Voldemort with a kunai, was now wearing Harry's Invisibility Cloak, observing Voldemort who was now acting as if nothing had happened.

This feels really strange.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and began to think calmly.

Was his use of the Flying Thunder God technique to reach Harry's side today, using a kunai inscribed with the Flying Thunder God symbol, part of Dumbledore's plan?

If not —

Can Harry handle Voldemort by himself?

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Harry, who had already returned to his original form and was running away into the distance to avoid the shapeshifting army.

How could a first-year wizard possibly handle such a Transfiguration army?

But----

Orochimaru then turned to look at Voldemort, who was casting magic to awaken the entire Forbidden Forest, and felt it was very illogical.

If, in Dumbledore's calculations, this was originally a trial given to Harry by the old white-bearded wizard, how was Harry supposed to pass it?

Orochimaru flashed and appeared beside Harry.

Before Harry could speak, he simply draped the Invisibility Cloak over Harry, and the two of them vanished from Voldemort's sight.

Although the shapeshifting army in the Forbidden Forest was more powerful than the one Quirrell had summoned, Harry and Orochimaru possessed the most amazing invisibility cloak.

Wearing the Invisibility Cloak, Harry and Orochimaru could only be vaguely sensed by Voldemort's soul.

But this is not a solution.

As time goes on, the Forbidden Forest army, awakened by Voldemort, is conducting a thorough search for the hidden Harry and Orochimaru.

It's only a matter of time before they are found.

"Can you still use that space-traveling magic?"

Harry lowered his voice and asked softly.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes as he responded to Harry's question.

"No matter what god it is, we're now hiding under the invisibility cloak. As long as we return to the castle quietly, Voldemort will be helpless."

Harry said in a low voice.

The situation was too dangerous, so he abandoned his plan to fight Voldemort to the death at all costs.

He's a Gryffindor, but that doesn't mean he's willing to risk his life for nothing.

Especially now.

Orochimaru, who was being questioned, was currently preoccupied with his previous speculations about Dumbledore.

He had vaguely found an answer, but the answer was too bizarre for him to accept.

"Harry, do you think Dumbledore would believe that you could actually defeat Voldemort all by yourself?"

"What, me?"

Harry was taken aback by Orochimaru's words.

He wanted to defeat Voldemort; he dreamed of it.

But he only knows one weapon to eliminate you. How can he possibly defeat this dark wizard?

If they were to meet on a narrow path with no way out, he would certainly fight to the death.

But now that he's wearing an invisibility cloak and has Orochimaru by his side who can teleport, he doesn't think it's a wise thing to risk his life for a single attack.

But----

"What do you want me to do?"

Harry asked in a low voice, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He trusted Orochimaru more than anyone else, and he trusted his partner. Since Orochimaru said it was possible, he was willing to take the risk and try it.

Because he was a Gryffindor after all, wasn't he?

"if----"

Orochimaru, while rapidly moving with Harry, quickly analyzed, "I didn't appear in the Forbidden Forest. How would you deal with Voldemort if you encountered him?"

"Run first, if we can't escape, we'll fight him to the death." Harry looked at his father's killer in the distance with a complicated expression. "What else can I do?"

That's the crux of the problem.

How do I spell it?

Orochimaru looked Harry up and down, observing this wizard who, through his training, could fight using his intuition.

If, just if—

Without appearing himself, what would Harry do after being cornered by Voldemort while wearing the Invisibility Cloak?

One shot, and you'll be taken down by that weapon with the red light that knocks Voldemort down.

Then, taking advantage of the moment Voldemort's weapon fell, Harry rushed forward and fought Voldemort to the death, dragging the situation into a scenario that Harry excelled at.

Since I don't know many spells, why don't you just not use spells?

Orochimaru felt as if he had vaguely grasped the battle tactics that Dumbledore wanted Harry to use.

"Now I'm giving you a choice, Jiraiya."

Orochimaru took a deep breath, sensing the state of his body.

The effects of the Eight Gates Formation are gradually fading, and the rations he carries are insufficient to replenish his losses.

Or in other words, he underestimated Voldemort, the man behind Professor Quirrell.

For an ordinary wizard, the battle would be over the moment he stabbed his opponent in the abdomen with a kunai.

But Voldemort was different.

If only I had the chance to properly study Voldemort, who was possessing the back of Professor Quirrell's head.

Orochimaru slowly licked the corner of his mouth and whispered in Harry's ear.

He already has a battle plan.

It's very risky, but worth a try.

"It's up to you, Jiraiya. Will you choose to fight, or will we retreat?"

Orochimaru finished explaining his plan and then waited for Harry's response.

At this moment, an unusual light flashed in Harry's green eyes.

"Why not give it a try? With you here, you'll never let me die, right?"

Harry said with a smile.

"What if?"

"Then bring me back to life!" Harry laughed. "I think you can do it."

it is good!

Orochimaru no longer hesitated and gripped the kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique mark tightly with both hands.

Although he didn't know why he was able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique so skillfully at this moment, he was happy to accept it.

That's inexplicable. Isn't it just a synonym for magic?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru suddenly ripped off his invisibility cloak, raised his right hand sharply, and shot out the Flying Thunder God kunai engraved with the spell.

His hands never stopped, fluttering like butterflies, and in an instant, he had completed the hand seals.

The Sword Shadow Clone Technique!

He had poured all his chakra into the shuriken flying everywhere, causing them to rain down like a storm on Voldemort.

The little wizard had exhausted all his tricks.

Voldemort coldly surveyed the rain of kunai flying towards him, and lightly waved his wand.

For a wizard like him who has become a miracle, silent spellcasting has long been a skill he can use at will.

The spell, fraught with obstacles, was unleashed before Voldemort in an instant, freezing all the flying thunder god kunai that filled the sky almost in the blink of an eye.

Just then, the kunai closest to Voldemort suddenly flashed and transformed into the figure of Harry Potter.

He didn't even wait for Voldemort to wave his wand before instinctively slamming his hands onto the ground.

Harry slammed his hands down on the ground, and using the recoil, he kicked Voldemort in the chin.

He remembered this move very well.

He never imagined that one day he would be able to use that kick on Voldemort.

Wizards don't fight like that.

But he is Jiraiya, Orochimaru's partner, and this is his fighting style.

Voldemort watched in horror as Harry's flying kick bypassed all the barriers of his spells and landed squarely on his chin.

Bang!

Voldemort was sent flying backwards, soaring into the sky like a cannonball.
