Just as Voldemort and Snape were saying things that left everyone startled and confused, Fleur Delacour, who had appeared with them moments earlier, rode her Broomstick straight to Draco's side with unusual ease, unnoticed by anyone and with no one having the mind to stop her.
However, before she could speak, Hermione's slightly annoyed voice came through the badge on her chest. "Delacour, what exactly are you doing? Disobeying orders on the battlefield..."
"Have you forgotten? My Special Aerial Combat Squadron has a special status that allows independent operations. In an emergency, I can make decisions according to my own judgment."
"..."
Although her reasoning sounded valid, whether it was Hermione, Pansy, or the girls currently on the tower, all of them could not help rolling their eyes in exasperation when they heard Fleur's excuse.
Who would believe that?
After all, Fleur was clearly a member of the Round Table wizards, and she also had a Draco Constellation Emblem in her hand, yet in the end, she still chose this method to explain to Draco what had just happened.
Whatever she was thinking, everyone already knew it.
If they had not known this was a battlefield, Hermione and the others would surely have acted at once to stop this vixen Fleur from getting close to Draco.
In short, although Fleur's actions did carry a little private motive, it had to be said that Draco was indeed lacking information at the moment.
Especially information about his godfather, who had somehow done something to Voldemort.
While directing the Centaurs below into formation, Draco gave instructions to Hermione and the others who had just arrived on the battlefield, and at the same time, he did not forget to listen to the intelligence Fleur had brought.
More precisely, it was the message Snape wanted to pass on.
"You're saying Godfather already knows the location of the final Horcrux?!"
"Mm. Those were his exact words."
"His exact words?"
"Yes. We didn't quite understand it either, but Snape specifically emphasized that when we passed it on to you, we were not to miss a single word."
All right.
Putting aside whatever riddle Snape was playing at, information this important really could not be passed through the Draco Constellation Emblem.
At the very least, until the situation was clear, this was not something suitable for too many people to know. It also needed to be treated with caution.
"That's right. After we dealt with those Death Eaters, Snape arrived midway and told us to pass this on to you."
"I see..."
Just as Draco had previously told Pansy and the others, a powerful and trustworthy person had gone to Hermione's side.
And that wizard was naturally our Professor Snape. It was also because of his appearance that the Death Eaters, who could originally have held on for a while longer, collapsed outright.
But what Draco had not expected was that his godfather seemed to know quite a lot.
Whether it was the unknown Horcrux he had mentioned, or the unnamed wand Voldemort now valued so abnormally.
Only...
From Godfather's words, that Horcrux likely has not been destroyed yet.
Is it because it cannot be destroyed, or because... it must not be destroyed?
Just as Draco was thinking over the number of Horcruxes currently known to him, and feeling that something about Snape's wording was not quite right, Hermione's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his thoughts.
"Draco... doesn't that wand look a little familiar?"
"The wand."
"I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."
It was no wonder Hermione reacted that way.
Although every wand was almost unique, depending on a wizard's personality and choices, there was nothing strange about that in itself.
But in the wizarding world, there were always a few exceptional existences.
For example.
That legendary wand.
One of the Deathly Hallows.
The Elder Wand!!
