The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 656 Severus Snape

The crescent moon was like a hook, and the mid-heaven had already passed, and Ada and Snape went back to the courtyard.

No one mentioned the temptation just now, as if the name Lily had never appeared tonight.

Snape's emotions were complicated, and he managed to suppress the pain in his heart, but when he looked up, he saw Ada's fair face and those big eyes, and the undercover ace was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

Severus Snape's character design collapsed at this moment, and the inscrutable image no longer existed.

Even if Snape wanted to speak harshly and get back the lost place, Ada, who was used to being shameless and shameless, would not take this.Point deduction is even more useless, let alone whether Ida doesn't care, Snape has no right to deduct points now.

This power now belongs to Professor Black of Gryffindor.

One month into the start of the school year, Slytherin House's score was firmly at the bottom, and it was likely to remain until the end of the school year.

It's not that Sirius deducted points so hard, it's mainly because without Snape's support, Slytherin House made too many enemies, which made their 97-98 school year "dire."

In the courtyard, Ada, dressed in starlight, asked, "How did Professor Dumbledore arrange it?"

"Harry, like Nagini, is one of the Horcruxes," Snape said. "It was an accident, so the Dark Lord himself didn't know that Harry was also a Horcrux."

Ada nodded, which was consistent with her guess, that Harry had unintentionally become Voldemort's Horcrux.

Lily's Passive Resistance Charm protected Harry that night, saving the young Harry from death.

After the rebounding Killing Curse hit Voldemort, although it failed to kill the Dark Lord, it successfully damaged his body and forcibly divided his incomplete soul.

This is a very troublesome matter, a troublesome matter that people can't help but smell fragrant.

The relics of the Big Four that were made into Horcruxes can be destroyed. After all, they are just dead things, but it is the greatness and magic of the Big Four that endow them with a different meaning.The Nagini that has been made into a Horcrux can also be destroyed. It is a ferocious big snake, and it is not a human being. If it is cut, it will be cut.

But Harry is different, he is human, or an acquaintance, Ida is not cold-blooded enough to easily raise a butcher's knife to a friend, and chop as soon as she wants.

Ada rubbed her fingers so vigorously that her fingertips almost turned red.She frowned and said, "You don't want to tell me, because you are afraid that I will kill him now?"

"Yes, you will hesitate, but you will in the end." Snape said heavily, "However, Potter cannot die by your hands. Potter must be done by the Dark Lord himself, and only by the Dark Lord." In order to destroy the soul fragments in his body."

As he said that, Snape suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, and a chill that did not belong to the autumn night spread in the courtyard.

Ada couldn't help feeling desolate.

I heard Snape continue to say sadly: "I always thought that I was protecting him for so many years, protecting Lily's son from growing up, but it turned out! I protected him...just to let him die at the right time !"

"I thought you could accept the result."

Ada's words were cold.From the day Snape knew of Dumbledore's plan to tonight, such a long time had passed, Ada thought he could face the result calmly.

"Just because I will carry out Dumbledore's plan doesn't mean I can accept it!" Snape said excitedly, "The person I'm protecting is Lily's son, not a pig waiting to be slaughtered!"

Tonight was the first time Ada had seen Snape so excited, so open-eyed.Ada underestimated Snape's feelings for Lily, and his feelings for Harry.

This feeling is undoubtedly contradictory and complicated.With a face similar to that of his father James and eyes exactly the same as his mother Lily, Harry's existence reminded Snape all the time that Lily was married to the annoying James Potter, and Lily was dead.

What mixed feelings would Snape have when he saw Harry again in 1991?
Ada couldn't imagine it.

"I know it's cruel to say that, but if there's no other way..." Ada said this in as gentle a tone as possible, "He has to die."

People die every day in this world, all the time, why can't this person be Harry Potter.Ada's character made it impossible for her to say such a sentence, and she didn't have to say it.

"I know, I know." Snape murmured, staring at the crescent moon in the night sky, dazed.

Although he also wanted to protect Lily's son, nothing was more important than eliminating Voldemort.For 16 long years and more than 5000 long days and nights, Snape has been waiting for the moment of revenge.

After a while, Snape adjusted his bad state, and his complexion and emotions returned to normal.Snape turned around, his dark eyes becoming dark again.

Snape pressed Lily's name to the bottom of his heart, and put Harry aside for the time being.

He said, "So, are you going to move forward with your plan?"

"Yes. If possible, I hope to end this war as soon as possible." Ada replied, "I am tired of opening my eyes every day, and there is a list of missing persons and a list of dead persons on the table."

War is the highest form of expression of struggle and the most violent means of settling disputes.War is ruthless and cruel, and it lasts forever, and no one can tell what will happen tomorrow.

Ada didn't want to continue living like this, and she didn't want to see her familiar names on these two lists.

"The plan is about to start. If my predictions are correct, the Dark Lord will move. His impatience is our opportunity." Ada continued, "I need to grasp his dynamics and adapt to the situation."

Voldemort used to live in Malfoy Manor, he should have known about the destruction of the diary, but he was not impatient because there were other Horcruxes backing it up.

Now that rings, gold cups, lockets, and crowns have been destroyed one after another, if Voldemort knew about these situations, he would probably choose to put all his eggs in one basket and advance the decisive battle.

This is exactly what Ada wants to see.

Be it Death Eaters, dark wizards, or dark creatures, they may be powerful, but they are a mob after all, and the scene of the decisive battle will inevitably be chaotic.

Chaos is opportunity, both a chance to deal with Nagini and a chance to kill Voldemort.Ada is confident of defeating the mortal Tom Riddle.

"You still have to be prepared." Snape said, "Your sowing dissension is not very clever, and Voldemort will not doubt Bellatrix's loyalty. Moreover, the purpose of your plan is too obvious, and he may also use Hide yourself deeper."

There is also a possibility that Snape didn't say it, that is, in order to maintain his "immortality", Voldemort continued to slice his soul to make new Horcruxes.

However, Ada felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Even in the magic world, splitting the soul is a violation of the law, and there must be a huge price to pay.

Voldemort's soul has been divided into eight parts. If it is cut again...won't his soul really come out through his nostrils?

As for alienating Bellatrix, Ada has no such idea.Voldemort doesn't trust anyone from the bottom of his heart, and discord has no effect on him.

Ada pretended to be profound and said: "Whether to fight or flee, we will see the outcome soon. I hope he won't procrastinate for too long. The longer he procrastinates, the lower his chance of winning."

"I see. I will pass on information about Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and Harry Potter to you as soon as possible."

Snape nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.

"Professor!" Ida shouted behind him, "dawn is coming, and before that, no matter how dark the world is, you can't fall down!"

Hearing this, Snape stopped in his tracks. He didn't look back, but said flatly, "Don't meddle in your own business."
