Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 160 The Wise Voldemort! Two Consultations!

Ecclesia reluctantly submitted, ceasing her struggles and no longer attempting to communicate with Voldemort's main spirit.

But under the protection of Occlumency, she cursed Voldemort in her mind once again.

You bastard, why did you set up a curse for no reason?

Miracles? Miracles that specifically torment our own people?

Being your subordinate is the worst luck imaginable!

Eckeris cursed inwardly, feeling deeply resentful.

The fighting spirit that Voldemort had managed to muster earlier dissipated as Voldemort's main spirit retreated.

She mustered her strength to say something to Snape and Dudley, but before she could utter a word, she fainted.

"Huh? Professor Ecclesia, you're not dead, are you?!"

When Dudley saw that Ecclesia looked like she was about to die, he panicked and quickly reached out to feel her pulse.

Before Dudley could even feel her pulse, a scorching wound appeared on Ursy's wrist where he touched her.

Ecclesia, who had fainted, did not wake up from the pain, because the pain she was in was far greater than the pain caused by the burns.

But her brows still furrowed slightly involuntarily.

Dudley quickly moved his hand away, cursing Eckeris in his mind.

You bitch, you're already on the verge of death, yet you still harbor murderous intent towards me!

Dudley knew very well that this was a weakened version of the maternal love protection magic on him, which backfired on Eckeris, who had murderous intent towards him.

But even though it's clear, this matter can't be discussed openly.

While remaining vigilant to prevent Voldemort from resorting to desperate measures, he quickly spoke up, shifting the blame to Snape:

"What did you feed Professor Ecclesia just now? Why does she have burns on her wrists now? Did you deliberately poison her to hasten her death so you could get rid of her?"

"you……"

Snape was furious. He glared at Dudley and held back his curses for a long time before saying in a cold voice, "I gave her a general-purpose, potent antidote, which may not be suitable for the octopus spider's venom."

Upon hearing this, Dali did not take advantage of the chaos or press his advantage.

He could sense that Snape was being lenient with him.

Perhaps because of the previous beating and torture incident, Snape shared some of his guilt towards Harry and Aunt Lily with him.

Dudley was dismissive of this, but he also temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​further disgusting Snape.

"Let's go! You carry Professor Eckeris, and we'll take the aerial passageway to the safe house ahead. Her injuries are too serious; she needs to get back to the school hospital for treatment as soon as possible!"

Dali stood up and said calmly.

"Me? Carry her on my back? Dream on!"

Snape couldn't stand this. He immediately withdrew his hand, which was supporting Ecclesia's head but covered by his robe sleeve, stood up, and retorted, "Assistant Dursley, you're so strong, why don't you carry her? I think the burns on her wrists are..."

"Shut up! Stop trying to smear me! I'm only eleven years old! Eleven years old! You want me to carry a twenty-eight-year-old woman? Do you know that's child labor abuse?"

Dudley frowned, interrupting Snape's inappropriate words, and retorted coldly without showing any weakness.

"Hmph! I'm not going to stoop to your level!"

Snape was furious and stopped arguing with Dudley. He pointed his wand at a large piece of spider web scattered on the ground and turned it into a stretcher, which floated in the air.

Then, using the levitation spell, he lifted the unconscious Eccless and moved her to a stretcher.

"Let's go!"

Snape said something, then maneuvered the stretcher toward the entrance of the safe house ahead, and quickly followed.

Dudley's gaze was fixed on the two dead adult eight-eyed spider corpses on the ground. Just as he was about to take them, Dumbledore's voice came from behind him.

"Severus, Dudley, what happened? The other professors were worried about you, so I came back to check, but... what happened to Professor Ecclesia?"

Dumbledore's sudden appearance caused Snape to stop in his tracks, Dudley to halt his movements, and the eight-eyed spiders crowding the surrounding corridors to flee in terror, quickly moving away from this place of trouble.

Only the old, frail spider Aragog, whose crawling speed was much slower, was left to take the blame, but none of the group paid any attention to the old spider.

Voldemort's main spirit on Ecclesia's belly used Ecclesia's unconscious hearing to hear Dumbledore's voice, and he was immediately filled with pride for his brilliant decision.

How could the ignorant and reckless Ecclesia be as insightful as the wise and intelligent Dark Lord?

The suggestions they made were all foolish and misguided!

Seeing that the pesky eight-eyed spiders were gone, Snape and Dudley also left the safe house. They removed the protective barrier and met up with Dumbledore, briefly explaining what had happened.

On the surface, both Snape and Dudley only knew that Ecclesia had inexplicably run back to the labyrinth and, for some unknown reason, had clashed with the eight-eyed spider, resulting in both of them being injured. They were able to arrive in time to save her.

So Dumbledore didn't hear anything useful on the surface. He cast several powerful healing spells on Erkris on the stretcher, exchanged a brief conversation with Snape and Dudley, and then quickly took Erkris back to the castle.

Snape quickly followed.

He had previously captured more than a dozen adult giant spiders alive using traps, and selected those with high blood concentration to obtain several large bottles of giant spider venom. His wish had been fulfilled, and for the time being, he had no lingering attachment to this maze.

Dudley, however, lagged slightly behind and stored the two dead eight-eyed giant spider corpses into his personal space.

Then they followed Dumbledore and Snape on their journey back to the castle.

After the group returned to the castle, Dumbledore naturally took Eckeris back to the school hospital immediately, which prompted Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, to let out a sharp, piercing sound.

He muttered to himself, "We can't let Professor Ecclesia go to the Forbidden Forest again."

Going there once is like taking a stroll in front of death!

Snape was also dragged to the school hospital by Dumbledore. He didn't want to stay there any longer, but he couldn't refuse Dumbledore's request to help Ecclesia detoxify and heal her wounds, so he had to stay for the time being.

Dali went to the auditorium and saw students and faculty from the four colleges having dinner.

Apart from Hagrid, who was cooking for himself in his cabin and not here, and the few from the school hospital, everyone else was present.

As Dumbledore had instructed, he summoned all the professors who had nearly finished their dinner to the university hospital.

Before Professor McGonagall left, she asked Dudley what had happened.

Dali answered truthfully:

Professor Eckeris returned to the maze and killed two adult giant spiders, but she herself was bitten on the left leg by a giant spider and was poisoned.

As for why she went back alone, Dali didn't know.

All Dudley knew was that Professor Snape had also returned to the maze and had even found Professor Ecclesia, who was injured and lying on the ground, before him.

Upon hearing these pieces of information, Professors McGonagall and Sprout immediately began to imagine what had happened.

It must have been Snape who was eyeing the potion ingredients from the giant spider, so he went back to the labyrinth first, where he was seen by the lovestruck Professor Ecclesia and followed her into the labyrinth.

However, the two got separated in the maze and did not meet at first. Professor Ecclesia even attacked the giant spider in order to help Snape collect potion ingredients, which led to her tragic death!

Dudley was stunned by the two professors' analysis and was full of admiration. He nodded repeatedly in agreement and urged the professors to go to the school hospital for another expert consultation with Eckeris.

After the professors left, the Dursley teaching assistant held the highest position in the entire auditorium.

Dudley did not go to the Gryffindor long table to have dinner with his cousin and friends.

Instead, he walked up to the small platform where the faculty and staff were seated, stood in the middle, cast a 'loud voice' spell, and began to address the students of the four colleges.
