The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 659 The Uneasy Voldemort
In the slightly dim room, people were crowded and kneeling, including core Death Eaters like Bellatrix, as well as dark wizards recruited by Voldemort after his return.

When Voldemort led the crowd to attack Azkaban, he not only rescued the imprisoned Death Eaters, but also rescued a group of dark wizards, and these people also gathered under his command.

The composition of the Death Eaters has always been complicated. There are those who follow Voldemort loyally, those who are cowardly seek refuge, those who are ambitious to show their prestige, and those who are cruel by nature and follow for better violence.

Everyone in the room was facing the same direction, kneeling neatly in a semicircle.Although many of them were trembling, none dared to make any sound.

Snape was also kneeling, the only difference being that he was holding a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, which he was reading.

"...It is reported that in recognition of Regulus Black's heroic actions against the 'Mysterious Man', the Ministry of Magic and the Order of Merlin are considering posthumously awarding him the Order of Merlin, First Class..."

After reading the newspaper, Snape knelt down like other Death Eaters, not daring to look at Voldemort, who had his back to them.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive. The wizards didn't know why Voldemort was angry, but they knew how quiet it was at this moment, and how violent the storm would be later.

"Read it again!" Voldemort's voice was high-pitched and cold, as if fingernails were scratching across the blackboard, which made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"...It is reported that in recognition of Regulus Black's heroic actions against the 'Mysterious Man', the Ministry of Magic and the Order of Merlin are considering posthumously awarding him the Order of Merlin, First Class..."

Snape read it again, without his peculiar, slightly higher-than-whisper pitch.Like a machine, Snape read out the content of the newspaper without emotion, the content that made Voldemort angry.

Rage and fear burned in Voldemort's heart.

It was the only thing that frightened him - but it couldn't be true, he couldn't figure out how... yeah, that's what he should have thought when he saw Kreacher the house-elf!
Lord Voldemort should have thought about it earlier, the damned house-elf had escaped from the cave, and Regulus Black was the owner of the elf, so he would definitely ask Kreacher.

Kreacher, who is bound by the magic of the house elf, will obey his master's orders unconditionally, answering every question!
Caves, lockets, and Horcruxes are no longer secrets!

The traitor, Regulus Black, knew Lord Voldemort's secret.Now the secret is known again by dirty Esmeralda Drizzt.Who else knows the secret but her?
"Severus," Voldemort called softly, the words sounded like the hiss of a snake, which made people feel creepy and shuddering.

Snape's body trembled involuntarily, he crawled forward half a body, and replied in fear: "Yes, my master."

"Tell me, you have been with Albus Dumbledore for so long, has he ever gotten anything special. Think about it."

While Voldemort was questioning, the room remained chillingly quiet, and the Death Eaters didn't dare raise their heads, or even take a breath.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and the big snake Nagini slid past many Death Eaters and coiled around Voldemort's feet, making a hissing sound that everyone could not understand.

"Yes, master, the diary you used 50 years ago. Lucius Malfoy stuffed the diary into Ginny Weasley's old book, causing the Chamber of Secrets to be opened that year, releasing the basilisk within. "Snape said truthfully, "The basilisk just petrified a few students, and was killed by Dumbledore before it could clean the school."

Bellatrix on the side glanced at Snape resentfully. Regulus Black had already appeared, and Snape pulled out Lucius Malfoy again. They were all her relatives. This was not a scam. person!

Voldemort turned around suddenly, and Bellatrix immediately lowered her head in fright, not daring to move.

Voldemort walked slowly to Snape, who knew about the destruction of the diary.The Horcrux was destroyed, and Voldemort didn't notice it. He attributed it to being a ghost at that time, so he couldn't sense it being destroyed.

Now, Voldemort has regained his body, but he still can't sense whether the Horcrux has been destroyed, especially the locket that fell into the hands of Esmeralda Drizzt.

Snape's answer about the diary was not what Voldemort wanted to hear.He continued, "Any more, Severus?"

"And... and..." Snape thought carefully for a while before continuing, "There seems to be another ring. Dumbledore went out for a while, and when he came back, he suddenly had a black ring on his hand .”

"Say it again!" Voldemort's voice grew louder, fear filling his heart.Dumbledore, Dumbledore, that old guy who deserved to die long ago!
Snape lowered himself down to look more loyal, and said tremblingly, "Ring, Master, a black ring with what appears to be a black stone embedded in it."

Horcruxes are Voldemort's hope of immortality - the diary has been destroyed, the locket is in Drizzt's hands again, the Gaunt ring has been taken by Dumbledore, do they know anything else?

"Bella," Voldemort walked up to Bellatrix, "tell me, did you take good care of what I gave you?"

"Master, I—I hid it—right here..." Bellatrix said in a panic. She didn't know what the golden cup was for her master, and it should be as important as the diary and the ring.

Voldemort raised his hand to stop Bellatrix, and the Dark Lord had seen where she hid the cup - Gringotts, Lestrange's vault.

It's an ingenious place.

Even if the Ministry of Magic took orders from Drizzt, she wasn't as pedantic as Dumbledore, but it was still hard to imagine Horcruxes being hidden in Gringotts.

Voldemort had already thought about why something happened to the Horcrux.

Knowing his middle name, Dumbledore can deduce his relationship with the Gaunt family, so he can find the ring hidden in the wooden house.

Even without Regulus' betrayal, Dumbledore could still find the cave and find the locket according to his life in the orphanage.

The cup is hidden in Gringotts, it should be safe, they can't think of it there; the diadem is hidden in Hogwarts, even if they knew it was in the school, they would never find that place, it is the deepest secret of Hogwarts.

But just in case, Voldemort decided to go and see for himself. He wanted to ensure the safety of his Horcrux, and Nagini, he had to protect Nagini.

Before leaving, however, there are still some things to deal with.

Those who knelt before him had heard too many secrets. They knew about the diary, they knew about the ring, they knew about Gringotts... Only the dead keep secrets.

The yew wand suddenly appeared in Voldemort's hand, and the wand suddenly fell from the air. Green light shot out, and a kneeling wizard died.The rest of the people scattered and fled in fright.

Snape and Bellatrix rushed for the door, leaving everyone behind.

At this time, whoever runs out first will have a chance to survive, and whoever stays in the house will only be killed by the angry Voldemort.

The Dark Lord was furious, and his wand fell again and again, and Nagini also attacked and bit the wizards in the room. Those who did not escape were killed, and no one was left alive.

Standing among the dead bodies on the ground, Voldemort calmed down the anger, panic, and anxiety in his heart.

Impossible, how is it possible!He is the great Lord Voldemort, if the Horcrux is destroyed, he will definitely sense it, he will definitely.So, they should still be safe.

There was a hissing sound from Voldemort's mouth, and the snake Nagini immediately slid to his side.

If Ada or Harry were here, they would have heard what Voldemort was saying—

"Someone has discovered our secret, Nagini. I will stop them and kill them all. You must stay with me and stay with me until I kill them all."
