The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 654 Harry's Secret

Duff Town is a Muggle town with a population of less than [-] people. It is rich in single malt whiskey. Sirius once stayed here briefly when he was a fugitive, and was accidentally seen by the Muggles here.

Ida came to Duff Town in the north of Scotland, naturally, not to buy whiskey here. When she entered the town, the clock tower of the town had already rang midnight.

After tightening the cloak on her body, Ada walked all the way north. After walking less than a mile, a magnificent stone castle came into view.The huge stone castle is like a giant beast crouching in the night.

Everything about this military castle is impressive, from the 13th-century curtain wall to the ditch that surrounds the castle.

It is a pity that one of the oldest stone castles in Scotland has long been destroyed, leaving only broken walls to tell the past glory of Balvini Castle.

Through the arches of the castle and past the dilapidated buildings, Ada entered the wide courtyard, where the person she wanted to meet was already waiting for her.

In the abandoned castle in the middle of the night, the figure in the courtyard does not belong to the handsome and brave prince, nor does it belong to the bewitching and handsome vampire in the story. The flying black robe belongs to Severus. He doesn’t like to wash his hair. .

"If you don't come again, I'm leaving."

Turning around, Snape said slowly, the evening wind ruffled the hair on both sides of his cheeks, hoping it wouldn't rub his face with oil.

"I'm glad I didn't come too late. You didn't leave, and you didn't freeze." Ada said, although her mouth was harsh, her body was honest, and she expressed her apology with body language .

Snape didn't look at Ada, he walked up and down the grass in the courtyard, he didn't know if he was warming up or moving his numb legs and feet.

He said: "I'm a wizard, not an incompetent Muggle. Also, can we not choose a place like this next time we meet, that's where that stupid dog was found. You know, every time we meet we risk Great risk."

Ada nodded like a chicken pecking rice, but unfortunately the night was dark, and Snape, who was pacing back and forth, didn't look at her.Knowing her mistake, Ada changed her performance to the cold air around her.

"I don't think we will have to meet in this way soon." Ada said firmly, "Slytherin will also welcome their headmaster back. But they shouldn't welcome you, right?"

Snape stopped and looked at Ada intently.Suddenly, Snape jumped up to Ada in two steps, and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"The plan is going well, your nasty Potter baby has found the whereabouts of the diadem," Ada replied, biting "hate" hard on purpose to test Snape's reaction.

"One step closer to killing him," Snape murmured, taking a few steps back.

For more than ten years, Snape had been looking forward to that moment, no matter who killed Voldemort in the end, as long as the Dark Lord was dead.The hatred for Voldemort is why Snape lurks beside him, and it is also one of the motivations for Snape to live.

Through the moonlight, Ada looked at Snape, the potions professor's lips trembled slightly with excitement.

She said, "Yes, there is only the big ugly snake left. Just kill the big snake, and the Dark Lord will return to his mortal body."

The most frightening thing about Voldemort is not his extreme spells, but his Horcruxes.The Dark Lord who cannot be killed means invincible.If Voldemort wasn't so afraid of death, and he chose to fight Ada with his life, maybe the person who is in love now is Ada.

After all, no matter how thick Ada's blood bar is, she only has one life, but Voldemort used the Horcrux to unlock the blood bar.

"Nagini, Nagini..." Snape repeated the snake's name, "I'll find a way."

Snape's eyes were firm, but he didn't say what to do.Either keep Nagini out of Voldemort's sight, or just kill Nagini.

Ada took out a short knife from the cloak. It was a simple short knife with no decoration on the handle and scabbard.

After handing the short blade to Snape, Ada said, "Hold it, and be prepared."

"This is?" Snape took the dagger and pulled it out of its wooden sheath.

The blade didn't shine with a cold light, nor did it feel breathtaking. The blade looked gray, as if it hadn't been polished by a craftsman.

"Don't lick! See the blood seal the throat!" Seeing that Snape drew out the dagger, Ada said hastily.She was afraid that Snape would test the knife with his finger, or stick out his tongue and lick it like a fool.

Snape retracted the knife while looking at Ada with caring eyes for the mentally retarded.

He said, "What's the point of this knife? You don't seem like someone who would do that kind of useless work."

"I specially asked the goblin to create this, which is a mixture of basilisk fangs and venom, although it looks a bit inconspicuous." Ada explained, "You must pay special attention when using it, and it will be scratched by this knife. Pi, you're dead. Unless you can find Fox before the poison hits."

There is no cure for the venom of the basilisk, and only the tears of the phoenix can save it.

There are two phoenixes known to be tamed by wizards in this world, one is Fox and the other is called Spark.After Dumbledore's death, Fawkes disappeared, and Sparks was far away in New Zealand, the mascot of the Quidditch team Mottola Macaws.

"It's difficult to harm Nagini by ordinary methods. The Fiercefire Curse can do it, and so can this short knife with basilisk venom." Ada continued to explain that it was because of this short knife that she was late tonight.

A total of three such knives were forged, and the first one was given to Snape. Due to the short production time, there was no time to decorate it.Of the remaining two short knives, Ida kept one for herself, and the other for Harry's self-defense.

"So, that's why you called me out tonight?" Snape asked.

If it's just for a short knife that can kill with one blow, the meeting tonight is really speechless. It's not like he doesn't know the Fiercefire Curse, it's one of the compulsory courses in black magic!

"Of course not, I have a question for you, a very important question." Ada said, she stared into Snape's eyes, her question was related to the victory of this war.

Ada put away her joking look, and she asked seriously: "Harry, Harry Potter, did Dumbledore have any instructions for him before his death?"

Harry can communicate with Voldemort's mind, think what he thinks, and see what he sees. How this dangerous and ingenious connection came about, Ida has always been curious about it.

Harry's abnormal reaction when in contact with the Horcrux made Ida suspicious.

Could it be... On the night of Voldemort's murder, when the curse hit Harry and bounced back to Voldemort, the Dark Lord's soul was cut again, and one piece of remnant soul escaped, and another piece of remnant soul was attached to the only person in the house. On living things...

So Harry and Voldemort's minds are connected to each other, and Harry has an abnormal reaction when touching the Horcrux?

The matter was so important that Ada did not dare to jump to conclusions, so she chose to meet with Snape and ask about it.After all, in Dumbledore's last year, Snape was the closest person besides Harry.

"No." Snape said flatly, as if talking about an unimportant matter.

"Look me in the eyes!" Ada exclaimed. "You're lying, Severus Snape!"

The deep, jet-black eyes met those emerald green pupils for only a moment, and Snape looked away as if stung.

Snape tried to calm himself down and not let himself be affected by those eyes, but as a master of Occlumency, he seemed to have forgotten how to close his brain at this moment.

You're lying...you're lying...you're lying...short words echoed in Snape's ears and mind, and the Potions professor had a splitting headache, like being encased in a continuously tightening iron hoop Live the same.

Suddenly, the severe headache disappeared in an instant, and Snape, who was sweating profusely, looked up at Ada, who was facing away from him.

"Don't do anything, don't disturb Dumbledore's arrangements."

Snape knew that Ada failed to read his own memory, but Snape also knew that the other party had got the answer he wanted.

Seeing Ada walking towards the outside of the castle, Snape ran over anxiously.While running, he shouted loudly, "Where are you going?"

"Send him to see Lily Potter." Ada didn't stop, but turned her head and replied, full of killing intent.
