The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 634
The emergency meeting of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​over, and No. 12 Grimmauld Place is no longer the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, but this old house has not yet retired from the stage of history, and it will be given a new meaning.

A few days later, late at night, Ada appeared beside a dirty river with overgrown weeds and piles of rubbish.There is a narrow cobblestone alley beside the river bank, and the rows of old brick houses look very gloomy in the night.

Going down the alley, Ida walked into a street called Spider's End and stopped in front of the last house.The law enforcement team searched the place during the day because the house belonged to Severus Snape.

Recently, the Ministry of Magic has launched an all-out search for Snape, but like the rest of the Death Eaters, he seemed to be hiding in a gutter without any news, as if he had evaporated from the world.

After disarming the alarm measures left by the Ministry of Magic, Ada unscrewed the door and walked into the searched messy house: old black or brown books were scattered all over the floor, and tables and armchairs were also dumped on the ground.

The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. I floated the lit candle in the air, and Ada waved her hand to prop up the sofa.Sitting on the worn-out sofa, Ada raised her legs, as if she was the owner of the place.

When the candle was half burned, there was a sound of footsteps in the dilapidated house, and the sleepy Ada opened her eyes.

A man walked into the small living room. His long black hair fell on both sides like curtains, and in the middle was a sallow face and a pair of black eyes.

"Long time no see, Professor."

"I'm not a professor anymore." Snape laughed at himself. "I'm just a murderer."

By the faint candlelight, Snape looked at Ada quietly, this was the first time the two had talked since that "farewell".In just a few months, it seems like a lifetime away.

"I have to say, this meeting is very risky, your master won't find out, right?" Ada asked, "Do you need to help me choose a cemetery in advance?"

"Thanks to Dumbledore and you, the Dark Lord trusts me very much now." Snape said, "I don't need you to worry about my situation for the time being. You might as well think about what to do next."

Ada got up off the sofa and circled Snape twice.

She said: "Professor, I have been thinking why Professor Dumbledore trusted you so much, and even entrusted his life to your hands."

Even knowing that Dumbledore's death was inevitable, it's surprising how much he trusted Snape.Dumbledore was also questioned more than once by the Order of the Phoenix, and he always hinted that he had unbreakable reasons to trust Snape.

Trust is a luxury, and it is rare to trust a person to the extent of Dumbledore. If Glover Cecil knew about this, he would probably be able to rise from the grave.

"You don't need to know." Snape didn't pay attention to Ada's gaze, he sat on the vacant sofa, "I thought your curiosity would diminish with age, but it... Fewer."

Snape said about curiosity about [-] times, and Ida was tired of listening to it.

Snape's facial expression remained unchanged, and his black pupils were as deep as ever.

As Spy King, as a master of Occlumency, almost no one could peer into Snape's inner world.Voldemort can't, Ida can't, only Harry Potter can do it.

Ada, with her hands behind her back, was pacing in the living room. As she walked, she said, "It's fine if you don't want to mention it, but I don't have to know. My curiosity has not diminished, but I have learned to restrain myself."

"What an astonishing growth!" Snape said with sarcasm, and the smile pulled from the corner of his mouth made the sarcasm even fuller.

Ada stopped and looked at Snape with dissatisfaction. She was so considerate and returned with a taunt, wasn't it too much!
"What are your friends doing lately?" Ada asked, now is not the time to be awkward. "They are too quiet, so quiet that it is disturbing."

"Except for those disturbing attacks, there won't be any major actions for the time being." Snape replied, "Although Dumbledore is gone, you are still here. Your existence makes the Dark Lord very afraid."

Dumbledore was once hailed as "the only man You-Know-Who fears".Without Dumbledore, without the greatest threat, Voldemort should have done whatever he wanted, but the appearance of Ada forced Voldemort to continue to endure.

If Ida was alone, she wouldn't pose much of a threat, but she not only controlled the Ministry of Magic, but also had a certain influence on the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort, who was frequently frustrated, naturally had to treat it with caution.

"Can you force them to move?" Ada continued to ask, "Before the final battle, I want to cut off the wings of the Dark Lord as much as possible to reduce the casualties of my own people."

What Ada wanted was to set traps on the premise of protecting Snape, to kill as many Death Eaters as possible, to minimize their harm to the wizarding world, and to turn Voldemort into a lonely family.

If necessary, Ada could also sell some information to Snape, such as someone from the Ministry of Magic, or 12 Grimmauld Place.

Snape looked out the window, there was no moon or stars outside, it was pitch black.

Snape shook his head. He said, "It's difficult. The Dark Lord's target is Potter. Now, only Potter can make him move."

persistent!Very persistent!Voldemort's first downfall was because of Harry, because he wanted to do it himself.After making a comeback more than ten years later, Voldemort is still obsessed with Harry Potter, and he must kill the other party himself, and his head is strong enough.

Although a saint won't be knocked down twice by the same move, but Voldemort is a wizard, doesn't he know what it means to "repeat the same mistakes"?It's really brave and not afraid of difficulties?

"Harry Potter is not in danger of dying before the protective magic expires," Snape continued, "but I cannot guarantee when the Dark Lord will choose to do something to him."

It is possible to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Order of the Phoenix and kidnap Harry directly from Privet Drive; it is also possible to wait until Harry is 17 years old, and the Order of the Phoenix intercepts and kills him halfway when transferring him away.

Ada, who was fiddling with the candlelight, nodded. Both the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix have long been prepared for this.No. 4 Privet Drive is not only heavily guarded, even if Harry goes out for a walk, someone will guard his safety.

"Also, you have to be careful in the Ministry of Magic." Snape continued, "The Death Eater's infiltration of the Ministry of Magic satisfies the Dark Lord, which shows that there may be danger around you and Arthur Weasley .”

Do the same, assassinate Minister Arthur Weasley (or Ada), use this as an opportunity to launch a coup and occupy the Ministry of Magic.Once the Ministry of Magic becomes Voldemort's minion, the Order of the Phoenix will be unable to support itself, and the trend of the war will be greatly inclined to Voldemort.

"Understood, I will deal with it carefully." Ada said, "You should also be more careful, if something cannot be done..."

"Take care of yourself, and protect Harry Potter. You don't need to worry about my safety." Snape didn't appreciate it, he was not in danger of revealing his identity for the time being.

Then, Snape thought of something else, he said, "Has the Order of the Phoenix withdrawn from 12 Grimmauld Place?"

"It has been withdrawn." Ada flicked the candle brightly, "However, tomorrow will be the last time I will return there. If you want to bring people there, I'm afraid it will take another day."

Snape's expression changed for the first time tonight, he was puzzled, he had already withdrawn, why did he go back?Is that big dog that can bark so reluctant?

"There will be a wedding there tomorrow." Ada saw Snape's doubts. "The bride is Nymphadora Tonks, and the groom is your old acquaintance, Remus Lupine."

At such a difficult time, the Order of the Phoenix will be celebrating a festive wedding, which, hopefully, will bode well for the struggles to come.

Snape laughed inexplicably, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I have some ready-made wolfbane potions, and you know where I can find them."

After speaking, Snape fell into the darkness again, and the footsteps gradually became quieter.
