Chapter 942 [Chapter 5] 27
He discreetly put a Silencing Charm and other anti-disturbance charms on the headmaster's office, and then asked the old headmaster, the only Slytherin before him, if "those little trolls who have been nasty for several years" are busy now What, and how did he offend him.
Phineas Nigellus glanced at him, and babbled that he was blindfolded with a black cloth, and called him back to the picture frame he had originally placed in the old house—the group of little trolls hijacked him and hung him in the black I don’t know where it went, and I asked him in detail about the small trolls in Dumbledore’s army who stole the fake Gryffindor sword and the details of their punishment, etc., and asked Snape I complained again.
Snape listened patiently, and finally he understood that Potter and his two good friends probably got a Horcrux of the Dark Lord by now, and they were trying to find something to destroy it.
It's almost Christmas now.Those three blindly conceited little giants wandered outside for several months, and the only result was this?
He was sullen, and remembered what Dumbledore had been kindly teaching him: 【Trust Harry, Severus.He is the boy who was personally marked by the Dark Lord in the prophecy, he has the ability and courage to complete his mission—]
Well, trust that Potboy with his brain stuffed with achnatherum.he thought wearily.
Maybe after a while, he'd have to find a moment when the Death Eaters or the Dark Lord weren't looking, and have the real Gryffindor sword delivered to that Potboy himself.Otherwise, if you really have to wait for that Potter to figure it out, I don't know how long it will take.Besides, the way to get the Gryffindor sword was too dangerous - he couldn't let Potter run back to Hogwarts at this juncture.Protecting other little trolls has made him exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted.
He calmed down and began to slowly think about the recent situation.
Although he is the headmaster of Hogwarts appointed by the Dark Lord, he still has to perform tasks like those low-level Death Eaters sometimes.The Dark Lord seems to like to use continuous killing to strengthen the determination of these generals under him to continue to follow him to the end.It may also be because the more innocent blood they have on their hands, the less likely they are to turn back.
Recently, when they were on missions, the fierce resistance they suffered from the Order of the Phoenix seemed to be a little weaker.This is also a matter of course.After Dumbledore's death, the Order of the Phoenix was basically leaderless—maybe the werewolf Lupine still had a little say when he was not transformed, but his little furry problem restricted him from playing his so-called Leadership; Kingsley Shacklebolt is busy protecting the Muggle Prime Minister; Alastor Moody is as mad as ever, his rough behavior is not enough to lead an organization that can stand up to Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic; other Order of the Phoenix Members either lack qualifications, prestige, brains, or abilities.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered another person.
The woman Dumbledore specially appointed to take over his job, Bigonia Columbine.
After Dumbledore's death, he has little need or need to connect with the Order of the Phoenix.So the chess piece of Bigenia was left idle—in other words, he hadn't seen her for a long time.
The woman said she was a Hufflepuff when she was at school.But there was always a strange sense of incongruity and subtlety about her, which made him feel unreasonably familiar.But he couldn't recall any interaction between them before they both performed missions for the Order of the Phoenix.He didn't even think he knew her or heard of her when he was a student at Hogwarts.
Now she too is gone.In the past few months, he had to follow the Death Eaters to the Muggle world to do bad things several times. Although some of their missions were interrupted by members of the Order of the Phoenix who arrived in time, he never saw her. .
The Dark Mark on his arm was aching again.Snape held his left arm and let out a long breath of patience and disgust.
Then he stood up abruptly and stepped into the fireplace in the principal's room.A burst of green flames rose, and his figure in black robe disappeared.
……
The Muggle streets on Christmas Eve have been completely decorated, and all kinds of Christmas-related decorations are hung in shop windows, lampposts, and tree branches along the street.This street is very bustling, and people who are making big purchases for Christmas fill every shop on the street.
But now everything has changed.
People in black robes with hoods and hideous masks had just left.There was a very violent fight in the street.The two sides of the fight are those who wear black robes and masks and others who dress more like normal people.Each of them held in his hand a strange little stick, about ten inches in length, from the tip of which emitted various lights like fireworks.Sometimes some innocent passers-by were hit by the green light from the tips of the sticks in the hands of those men in black robes, and immediately fell to the ground and died without saying a word.
The fight, which used small wooden sticks as the main weapon, lasted for about half an hour.A large crowd lay down on the road, causing casualties and injuries; buildings along the street were also affected and damaged in many places.
Before the Muggle police cars and ambulances could arrive, the black-robed and masked figures disappeared laughing maniacally, and the others began to retreat.Then some people in extremely weird clothes appeared out of thin air, holding small wooden sticks and began to cast some strange spells on a large area.Finally, when Muggle police cars and ambulances arrived, the survivors and witnesses could only say that "some terrorists who had fled the scene" had committed the crime; but when asked to describe the appearance of those terrorists , they all shook their heads again, claiming that those people were all wearing black wool caps that covered their heads from the top of their heads to their chins, showing only their eyes and mouths. Member of a gang organization".
While the Muggle police were busy surveying the scene and the paramedics were busy treating the dead and wounded, no one found a young woman hiding there in the shadows at the end of a dark alley between two buildings on the street.
Liu Quan sat on the ground, leaning his back against the corner of the alley, leaning his head back against the wall, slightly closing his eyes, unable to bear the body pain caused by the high fever.
Although her life in the form of Bigonia Columbine hasn't caused her much trouble during this period of time, unfortunately, she has a bad cold and a high fever.
However, the Order of the Phoenix is currently seriously short of manpower, and it is very difficult to deal with the attack of the Death Eaters every time, so she has to show up.
But now, her whole body seems to be falling apart, and maybe it is not wise to join the Order of the Phoenix in this situation to fight the Death Eaters-but it happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to grab a bottle of potion and drink it. go down.What's more, during the battle, smoke is coming out of both ears?Do you still feel that your goals are not clear enough?Although she had put life and death aside, she didn't have to take the initiative to die.
The scuffle had lasted too long, and the Death Eaters' attacks on Muggles were getting bigger and bigger and more blatant.The Ministry of Magic has fallen, and the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix are understaffed, although her full-time job is a Hogwarts professor-well, she is not in name anymore; to be precise, she is the former Hogger who is on the run Professor Watts-but now she appears most of the time as a member of the Order of the Phoenix and a former Hufflepuff graduate, Biggonia Columbine. Without being a Hogwarts professor, she must prioritize protecting students and Therefore, she has participated in more and more battles during this period of time.
A series of symptoms such as shivering, loss of power, and lack of magic power caused by high fever attacked her in turn. After a life-and-death battle, she felt that the magic power and physical strength in her body had been exhausted, and she was no longer able to perform apparition. Magic, or find a fireplace to return to your hideout.
She gathered up her last bit of strength, cast an invisibility spell and an ignore spell on herself, and then planned to take a rest in this dark corner, and wait until she recovered a little bit of physical strength and magic power, and she could overcome the lack of concentration caused by the high fever. Apparate back.
Not far away, the originally bustling and lively streets were now in a miserable scene.Some of the destroyed buildings and facilities were still smoking. Apart from fragmented stones, bricks and concrete blocks on the ground, there were bloodstains and ordinary people who were injured and killed innocently.Muggle ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks all arrived with their horns shrill and parked all over the street.People's cries, cries for help, and the sound of running footsteps rang out indiscriminately. This corner of the world is completely a scene of doomsday.
Liu Quan quietly hid in the shadow of the corner, half leaning against the corner of the building behind him, his vision was slightly blurred due to fatigue and high heat.But looking out from her angle, the building facing the alley was the place where she had visited with Severus Snape on Christmas Eve many years ago.
At that time, the streets were still full of bustling and joyful scenes, and the air was full of joyful songs at Christmas time; the young man and his girl next door pushed open the door of the building together, only to find that they were standing at the same time. Under a giant mistletoe wreath.The people around them clamored with kindness and hilarity, asking them to follow the ancient tradition.
Those good times are far away from them.It's too beautiful to be true, and it's so warm that it's like a dream.
Liu Quan took a few breaths with difficulty, feeling his heart beating too fast was slowly calming down.
Blood was still oozing from the wounds on her body, and she was unable to heal herself with spells.She didn't even want to do it, because the physical pain would make her saner.
I heard that human suffering has an upper limit.If there is more physical pain, maybe the spiritual pain will be less, less.
After the attack just now, there are still street lamps that survived the disaster, dimly lit in the dark night.Liu Quan stared at the dim street lamp, and some shadows of the past seemed to appear in his mind.It's a pity that those shadows were too shallow and were quickly blown away by the night wind.
Suddenly, a tall figure hurried into the alley.The figure of the visitor blocked the light from the street, and Liu Quan, who was dizzy, woke up immediately.
