The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 427 Severus Snape

Ever since he entered Hogwarts, Snape had said more than once that Ada's curiosity would kill her.

In the first grade, because of curiosity, he was almost killed by Foley in the Forbidden Forest; in the third grade, because of curiosity, he went to the fourth floor of the castle to investigate the Sorcerer's Stone; in the fourth grade, also because of curiosity, he began to investigate the secret room; in the fifth grade, he investigated Sirius Black, Part of the reason is also driven by curiosity.

Over the years, Snape has always persuaded Ada to quit her curiosity, but Ada has not changed after repeated admonitions, and her curiosity is still strong.

The eyes of the two people in the corridor met each other. There was neither sparks splashing nor lightning flashing. In the end, Snape standing at the door of the classroom was defeated.

Snape put away his wand and said, "Ask, if you want to ask anything. Today is the only chance."

The Potions Professor didn't know why he had a preference for the girl in front of him. He was obviously a self-righteous, curious little bastard who refused to accept discipline.

At first Snape just obeyed Dumbledore's orders, but now he got used to it.

Perhaps it was the occasional flash of light on Ada's body that warmed the Potions Professor's cold heart.Humans are complex animals, who knew!

"How did the professor know someone was eavesdropping outside?" Ada asked, "And how did he see through my disillusionment spell? The professor doesn't have Moody's magic eye."

Hearing Moody's name, Snape had a disgusted look on his face.

He said: "I didn't know that someone was eavesdropping outside. Those who understand my conversation with Karkaroff can't hide it, and those who don't understand don't need to hide it."

"As for your Disillusionment Curse, I also didn't see through it." Snape continued, "I was fooled."

"Uh... stupid... is it so accurate?" Ada didn't know what to say for a while, and the pretty girl was speechless.She thought that there was some flaw in her illusion spell, or that the sound of footsteps and breathing exposed her, but she didn't expect it to be a hoodwink!

After thinking about it, Ada felt that it might really be Snapmon's.

Only two professors, Snape and Karkaroff, were around here just now, and the rest were students, and she was the only one who dared to eavesdrop on the conversation of the two professors.

"That's right, it's a lie. Only you have the guts, and only you are so willing to meddle in other people's business." Snape said, "If you have nothing to ask, get the hell out."

ask!Why not ask!Fools don't ask!Ada immediately asked, "What does it refer to?"

In the conversation between Snape and Karkaroff just now, "he" refers to Voldemort, or Dumbledore, but what this "it" refers to, Ada is not very clear.

Under Ada's curious eyes, Snape hastily lifted up his sleeves, and then put them down quickly.Despite the Potions Professor's secrecy, Ada could see clearly that Snape had an ugly tattoo in the style of the Dark Mark on his arm.

"This is……"

Snape said: "The Dark Mark, Death Eaters have this brand on their bodies. He can use this brand to summon his servants."

Hearing this, Ada understood a little bit, and she said: "Karkaroff said: 'It is getting clearer', which means that the brand is getting clearer. And it is getting clearer, which means Voldemort is getting stronger and stronger, that's why Karkaroff is so panicked!"

"Don't say his name, don't show yourself with ignorance." Snape taught, "If you don't understand his strength and cruelty, don't learn from Dumbledore, it will only make you look stupid."

The mysterious man, the man whose name cannot be mentioned, and the Dark Lord are all synonymous with Voldemort, and the name Voldemort is taboo in the entire wizarding world.

Even Professor McGonagall did not dare to call Voldemort directly, because she is the dean of Gryffindor known for her courage.

Wizards are afraid to mention it, not just because of the fear brought about by Voldemort himself and his henchmen, not because wizards can't face up to this fear, but because Voldemort has cast magic on his name.

Once someone mentions "Voldemort", Voldemort himself will know that waiting for this person will be the Death Eaters who come to settle accounts, or the Dark Lord himself.

Except for Dumbledore and a few others, those who dared to call "Voldemort" by name were basically killed.

"His return is a foregone conclusion, it's just the difference between sooner and later." Snape calmed down, and continued, "I don't know what he wants to do, but the Triwizard Tournament must be a trap, full of unknown things. Danger."

The Triwizard Tournament was indeed the opponent's best choice. People from other schools entered Hogwarts, and good and bad people mixed together.But what is the specific plan of the other party?Purpose, or meaning, what do they want to achieve by doing this?

Was someone who stole Snape's private stash trying to make Polyjuice Potion out of the skin of the woodsnake?Infiltrating Hogwarts by pretending to be an outsider when the third item arrives?
Since Voldemort's "resurrection" is imminent, why did he come here to provoke Dumbledore? Shouldn't he act as low-key as possible and wait until Voldemort returns before making any plans?
"Professor, what do you think?" Ada asked tactfully.

Now Snape is the Potions Professor at Hogwarts and is trusted by Dumbledore, but what about after Voldemort returns?
Ada was eager to know what Snape would do.If possible, she didn't want to go to war with Professor Snape.

Snape lowered his eyes and seemed to be studying the dust on the ground. He said slowly, "I'm different from Karkaroff. I'm not a coward who can only avoid fear. I won't betray my colleagues."

The words to Ida are similar to the words to Karkaroff, almost the same hints, but the ideas of Ada and Karkaroff are very different.

Karkaroff thought that Snape was implying to himself that he had always been a Death Eater, and that staying at Hogwarts was a false refuge, and that he had been waiting for the day when the Dark Lord would come back and rule the world.

As for whether the Dark Lord would trust Snape, Karkaroff thought he would.The former Dark Lord trusted Snape very much and gave him a lot of "favor".

Unlike Karkaroff, Ada believes that Snape is expressing his position and will not betray his colleagues, which means that he wants to stand with Dumbledore to fight against Voldemort who is making a comeback.

Why do you think so, because Dumbledore trusts Snape, and what he himself has done these years is not like something that a [-]-year-old boy can do.

The Foley thing in the first year, it could also be said that Snape looked down on stupid Benedict Foley.What about Quirinus Quirrell in third grade, also because Quirrell was stupid?What about Sirius Black from last year?

That day in the Twilight Cabin, Snape was trying to kill Sirius.At the beginning, it was widely rumored that Sirius was Voldemort's second in command, and killing Sirius would not do any good to Er Wuzi.

It couldn't be because Voldemort was beaten by a one-year-old baby, Snape should avenge his old master!

Anyway, Ada felt that if Snape was a traitor, he might as well turn his back on him directly. I really can't explain what he did.If Voldemort continues to trust Snape, Ada will really suspect that the Dark Lord may have a hole in his head.

This kind of thing is better than killing the wrong one and not letting it go!If it were Ada, she would be a traitor with one knife, mercilessly, and never leave any possible hidden dangers.

Looking at the constantly changing expression on Ada's exquisite face, Snape said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, these are not your considerations. Take care of yourself, the third subject will never be like you It's as simple as you think."

"Where's Professor Dumbledore?" Ada asked, "What's his old man's plan? He's not someone who just sits and waits to die."

There was obvious displeasure on Snape's face, and he said: "If you want to know, you can ask him yourself, don't follow my words. Besides, I don't know what he is thinking, he never will Tell anyone about your overall plan."

Many times Dumbledore asks you to do something, and you may not even know the meaning of doing it.But when the other thing is over, you will find out that Dumbledore's arrangement for you has other meanings.

Unfathomable, except for Grindelwald, no one in this world may understand Dumbledore's brain circuit.

"There is one last point, you have to keep in mind." Snape continued, with a serious expression, "You have gained a lot of limelight, and the third project will definitely be targeted. Sometimes, giving up at the right time is not a sign of incompetence.

"You've done enough."
