The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 600 Farewell Under Misunderstanding
The light in the classroom was getting darker and darker, and the light from the suspended candles could no longer dispel the darkness, just like Snape in Ada's eyes, his road had come to an end.

This classroom has seen many Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, and the curses that surround the position.

Some are as sad as Benedict Foley, with a small disaster in three days and a big disaster in five days; there are those like Quirrell and Lockhart, who are usually made things difficult by students, and a wave of curses are taken away by him at the end of the semester There are also those like Remus Lupine, who usually do not see the power of the curse and are loved by students, but cannot stay in the post due to various special circumstances.

Ada sat in the place she used to do. There were no other students around, and there was no sound of the professor lecturing. The dim light cast by the candle made her look a bit lonely.

Snapped!
Ada snapped her fingers, and a group of fluorescent light appeared on her fingertips. After she let go of her hand, it floated higher and higher, and the light group gradually became the size of a prophecy ball, exuding a shining light, soft and beautiful.

"Who poisoned Slughorn's mead?" Ada asked. "What a bad choice!"

She knew that Snape had no intention of telling herself their plan, no matter how much she asked, Snape would not speak.Breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line is not applicable to all situations.

Draco Malfoy and his successor, one who chose the curse of the opal necklace, and the other who chose to poison the drink, these two people seem to take Dumbledore too seriously.

Such a clumsy method will not only fail to harm the headmaster of Hogwarts, but will reveal his feet and expose himself.

Ada once chatted with Malfoy and wanted to know about his mental journey.

According to Malfoy, the core of his plan is the Vanishing Cabinet.Connect the disappearing cabinet in Hogwarts with the one in Borgin-Bock's store, so as to bring the Death Eaters into Hogwarts covertly, and kill Dumbledore from the inside out.

It can be regarded as a long-term and careful plan, but the premise of the whole plan is that the disappearing cabinet can be repaired.

As long as the Vanishing Cabinet can be put into use, Malfoy is half the battle.Even if the Death Eaters who entered Hogwarts failed to complete the task, he still had an explanation to Voldemort, and he would not be killed by Avada.

However, the difficulty of repairing the disappearing cabinet was far beyond Malfoy's expectations, making him feel that his future was bleak.

On the one hand, Malfoy felt the pressure from Voldemort because the task had not been advanced for a long time, and he couldn't meet the duties; on the other hand, he was worried that the disappearing cabinet could not be repaired, and his plan could not be carried out. This worry also made him unable to breathe.

Under the double pressure, Malfoy had no choice but to take the risk and ordered the opal necklace by mail.He thought, while repairing the disappearing cabinet, perfecting his own plan, while trying other methods, a two-pronged approach.

Months had passed now, and Malfoy's successor had made the same mistake he had made in oversimplifying assassination.I just don't know if this successor also has a more thorough plan.

"Theodore Nott." Snape gave the answer bluntly, "He received the same mission as Malfoy from the Dark Lord. The reason...you should be able to imagine."

Indeed, in a raid by the Ministry of Magic not long ago, the Death Eater Nott was arrested again.This Nott is Theodore's father, who was caught twice by the Ministry of Magic in more than half a year.

Theodore Knott was tall and thin, with buck teeth, a withdrawn personality, and few friends.

He was at the same level as Malfoy, and their fathers were both Death Eaters, and he was one of the few classmates of the proud Master Malfoy who got along with each other on an equal footing.

In Ada's eyes, Slytherin students are roughly divided into two categories, one is those she has beaten, and the other is that she has not.

Ida should have no impression of a Slytherin student like Nott who was two years younger than her, but before she came to school, she happened to know something from Draco Malfoy.

"What did Dumbledore say?" Ada asked again, "Give Theodore Nott a chance, like Malfoy?"

Arranging for two students to assassinate Dumbledore successively, the Dark Lord must have some serious illness in doing so.

It's not that Ada looks down on people, look at what Malfoy and Nott are doing!

Once someone clings to the poisoning (necklace) thing, the murderer will be found out soon, and the success will fall short.

Of course, these two students may also be bait placed in front of the stage, deliberately giving away their heads in order to cover other people's actions.For example, Severus Snape standing in front of Ada.

But in any case, Voldemort must have sliced ​​the brain when he did such a thing as giving away the head of the child of his subordinates.People with good brains can't do this kind of thing, what do you make those Death Eaters with children think?
This is not the only thing that can prove that Voldemort's brain is not good, and there is also pressing Ollivander.

Tom Riddle, a student, was handsome and charming. Even when he first revealed Voldemort's identity, his words were extremely demagogic and provocative, making people willing to work for him.

Today, Voldemort's only means of ruling the Death Eaters is killing, torture, and terror.Obtaining clues from Ollivander did not use the previous words to induce and confuse people, but to use the Cruciatus Curse to torture.

The contrast between before and after is obvious, and they are different people. I don't know whether it was the first failure that hit Voldemort too hard, or whether he really cut his own brain.

"You don't have to try to get me to talk." Snape said, "I will say what I should say. What I shouldn't say, one letter and one modal particle are superfluous."

Snape turned his back on Ada, flicking the burning candle with his fingers.

The candlelight became brighter and brighter, illuminating his face, neither sad nor happy, as if the unbreakable oath had nothing to do with him.

For Snape, every day of life was suffering, and death was the relief.He will not be afraid of death, and will even take the initiative to embrace death, but he cannot be so selfish, there are still many things waiting for him to do, and there are still people in this world who need him.

Silence, a long silence, the classroom was so quiet that they could hear the faint sound of the candle burning, and they could hear their own breathing clearly.

After a while, Snape's hard heart seemed to soften a little, and he said: "Death is everyone's way back, why do you make such a fuss. Just like the Chudley Cannons will be at the bottom of this year's league, it is destined what's going to happen..."

Before he finished speaking, Snape regretted his talkativeness.Some things are good for two people to know, and there is no need for a third person to get involved.

"Although you always make my teeth itch with hatred, and I can't relieve my anger even after beating you. I should be happy that you are going to die. The annoying disaster star is finally gone!" Ada said, "But those who you treated me Well, I can't forget it anyway."

Ada's tone sounded like farewell, obviously she didn't understand what Snape just said.Or maybe it was her habitual thinking that made her think that Snape was comforting her and saying goodbye to her.

"What can I do for you?" Ada asked, she didn't think Snape could live up to the unbreakable oath, and she didn't know how to help Snape, so she was going to leave.

Killed Albus Dumbledore instead?Whether you can beat it is a problem, and it is also a problem whether you can fight it.Or become the next Dumbledore, bound by rules?
"No, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes." Snape said, still turning his back to Ada, not daring to look at her.

If you misunderstand, you will misunderstand, and if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. You shouldn't have said that much.Snape thought so.

"I'm good at killing curses." Ada said again, "if you need it."

"Thank you, but there's no need for it," said Snape, with a sigh of relief in his heart. "Time will arrange everything."
