The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 682 The Last Horcrux

Snape walked out of the headmaster's office alone and appeared in the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle. No one shouted at him anymore, but no one made any noise.

Just a few minutes ago, everyone thought Snape was a murderer, and they wanted to kill him; now everyone knew the inside story, and knew that they had misunderstood Snape.

There was a sudden role change, from a traitor to a hero who returned from undercover, and everyone didn't know how to face Snape for a while, and then there was an embarrassing silence.

Ada glanced at the people in the corridor. She knew that everyone needed time to adapt, so she spoke first to break the silence.

"Professor Snape, is everything clear?" Ada asked.

In addition to being Dumbledore's undercover agent next to Voldemort, Snape also shouldered another important task. He wanted to tell Harry the whereabouts of the last Horcrux.

This matter is related to whether Voldemort can be completely killed, and it is also related to Harry's life and death.

Snape pursed his lips tightly, and he shook his head first, then nodded.

This guessing-like body language makes people puzzled, did they make it clear, or did they not make it clear!Anyway, Ada didn't understand at all.

Think about it too, Harry has to make his own choice between life and death, which is not an easy task.Once you make up your mind and make your own choice, there is no turning back.

"What's the matter?" Sirius asked alertly, "You brought Harry into the office alone, and what did you say to him?"

It wasn't that he didn't trust Snape, on the contrary, Sirius was the one who felt the most empathy among the people present.Because he used to bear infamy and was criticized by thousands of people.The reason why he asked this question was entirely because Harry was involved, so Sirius couldn't help but worry.

You don't betray people with good words, and you don't have good words to betray people.Although this old saying does not mean this, it is unexpectedly appropriate here.

Sirius was worried: Snape took Harry to have a private conversation in order to let Harry complete some extremely dangerous missions.

"You don't need to know." Snape raised his eyelids and glanced at Sirius, he still didn't say a word: Even if he knew, it's still powerless.

Harry is Voldemort's Horcrux, this is Dumbledore's last arrangement before his death, and he cannot tell anyone except Harry, only he can know.

If it wasn't for Ada's ability to replace Dumbledore and continue to play chess, if Ada hadn't guessed that Harry was also a Horcrux—Snape would even hide it from her.

The cruel truth, the cold truth, had to be faced by Harry alone.Because Harry was the child that was prophesied, because Voldemort chose him, chose to turn a baby who had just turned one year old into a savior.

"I am Harry's godfather, why can't I know?" Sirius emphasized, "I will take good care of him for James and Lily..."

Snape let out a piercing sneer, which interrupted Sirius loudly.

He said disdainfully: "Godfather? Take care? I just found out today that being imprisoned in Azkaban is also a kind of care! Also, if Potter lives with you, he will only be more like his stupid, arrogant, arrogant father."

Familiar places, familiar people, Snape and Sirius once again clashed after many years.

"A snot that doesn't wash your hair..."

"Arrogance, stupidity, self-righteousness..."

Fortunately, Ada pushed Snape away, and Lupine also hugged Sirius. Otherwise, the two of them would not be as simple as greeting each other with words, but would have rolled into a ball and exchanged the best fists with each other. best wishes.

"Shut up both of you!"

Professor McGonagall shouted, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was being liked by the two, but also because she was agitated.

When Snape and the Predator were still studying at Hogwarts, Minerva McGonagall was already the school's professor of transfiguration, so her words were still very powerful.Snape and Sirius closed their mouths at the same time.

Although he closed his mouth, Sirius still expressed his dissatisfaction with the snot-nosed man with his white eyes.

And Snape was even worse, he turned his head directly not to look at Sirius, and even gave him a "too lazy to talk to you" look before turning his head.

When it comes to pranks and sabotage, ten Snapes are no match for Sirius.But when it comes to the ability to provoke people, Sirius can't catch up with Snape.

The disdainful eyes and the movement of turning his head deeply hurt Sirius' "fragile" heart.

Sirius, who was furious again, wanted to speak again, but he just opened his mouth, and before he could even utter a syllable, Professor McGonagall's majestic eyes fell on him.

Sirius pursed his mouth in grievance, and shrank behind Lupine like a bullied dog.

Professor McGonagall turned his head and said softly to Snape, "Welcome... welcome back, Professor Snape."

These words seemed to have exhausted all the strength in Professor McGonagall's body. She let out a long breath, and her shoulders collapsed.

Snape wanted to say something, but found that he really couldn't think of the right words, and in the end he just nodded heavily with his mouth open.

Suddenly, dense explosions exploded in the ears, and then a scream of panic came.Everyone didn't have time to think about it, they ran across the corridor in a hurry, crowded in front of a window and looked out.

I saw colorful spells falling like a torrential rain, hitting the magic barrier covering the school one after another.Huge forces exploded one by one, and the terrifying impact made the magic barrier shake continuously.

The attack of the Death Eaters coalition has begun again!

"Now, please return to your respective positions. Protect yourself and everyone around you," Ada said in a deep voice.

Mr. Weasley and Kingsley ran down the stairs first. They had to get back to the playground as soon as possible and organize their defenses, where the Death Eaters would be the first to attack.

Professor McGonagall and the others followed closely behind and hurried back to the pre-allocated positions.The towering tower has a wide view, which is convenient for observing the situation and for casting support.

The one dragging behind was Sirius, who gave Snape an awkward look, and then reluctantly left with Lupine.

In fact, Sirius really wanted to see Harry walk out of the headmaster's office and confirm with his own eyes that his godson was normal.But the Death Eaters had already launched an attack, he needed to return to his position and complete the task assigned to him.

Snape also left after Sirius, and although he hadn't been assigned any defensive duty beforehand, he had assigned himself a mission to find Nagini.

The barrier protecting the school cannot stop Voldemort. Sooner or later, the Allied Death Eaters will attack. At that time, the two sides will fight hand-to-hand, and a scuffle is inevitable.

This chaos was what Snape wanted. The more chaotic the battle situation, the more Voldemort's energy would be drawn in, and the more chances he would have to kill Nagini.

The explosion of the curse was still ringing in the ear, and Ada was the only one left in front of the crowded window just now.Ada was waiting for Harry, and even more so for his choice.

As the child in the prophecy, as Voldemort's Horcrux, Harry's choice will affect the final direction of the battle.
