Chapter 959 [Chapter 5] 44
Snape slowly raised his head, his eyes were burning with fire, and he could not help but stare angrily at the door where the woman disappeared.
The door had been silent since it was closed, so quiet that he almost wondered if Voldemort had placed some kind of anti-tapping spell on the door; until now, he finally knew that the woman was alive just before the scream.But now?What's going on inside that door now?
His breathing became much heavier in an instant, and he felt that in the suddenly terrifyingly silent and suddenly empty hall, it seemed that only his own breathing sounded, whistling like a dilapidated bellows.
"What? Severus? What do you want to say?" Voldemort asked with an artificially strange expression and a soft, almost dangerous tone.
Snape clenched his teeth, feeling the veins on the side of his cheek tense from too much force.His voice sounded like it was squeezed out of his teeth.
"... yes, my lord, I want to say... my hatred for her has never been greater than it is today."
Voldemort studied him thoughtfully, slowly turning the Elder Wand between his fingers.
"Really? Severus, don't you get mad at that? I heard that you once acted like a fool in love in front of her—you know, whenever someone wants to tell me something old Anecdotes from the year." He stared playfully at Snape, and said slowly, hissing like a poisonous snake.
Snape didn't avoid his gaze, glanced at the closed door with a gloomy look, and said coldly: "My master, you must have heard some shameless and whimsical rumors. I don't love her. I hate her……"
"Oh?" Voldemort laughed slowly, spreading his hands slightly, the Elder Wand resting between his fingers.
"How interesting. Tsk tsk." He shook his head, curled his lips contemptuously as if regretting the final result between the two men and women who were almost married.
Snape lowered his eyes respectfully and docilely, and didn't say much.
Voldemort seemed to have finally lost interest in the life and death of the Hogwarts Muggle Studies professor. He closed his fingers again, held the Elder Wand, and said, "Now I have conquered this wand, Severus. Conquered this one." wand, and finally conquered Potter."
Snape responded in a low voice: "Master, only you are the only object of its allegiance, there is no doubt about it."
Voldemort laughed and said, "Severus, you have been a good and faithful servant, and I regret what must have happened. For that, I allow you to go and say your last goodbyes to that woman. Take my Nanny by the way. Ginny to Hogwarts."
Snape hesitated, and for a moment he seemed a little dazed, as if he wasn't sure if Voldemort's order was a temptation; Is the corpse a new way of torturing people that Voldemort came up with?But he quickly calmed down, stooped expressionlessly, and said, "Yes, master." Then he turned and walked towards the door.
He stood still in front of that door, hesitated for a moment, put his right hand on the door handle, turned slightly, and the door opened in response to the sound.
He walked in with a vigilant face, all the muscles in his body tensed, like a bow ready to go.At first, he didn't seem to know what kind of scene he was really looking forward to seeing. There was a slight confusion and nervousness in his eyes, and his hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched into fists, so hard that the backs of his hands turned white.
Finally, his eyes slowly lifted up, and he scanned the room quickly, his face suddenly became bloodless.
He turned back quickly and said hoarsely to Voldemort who was still standing in the middle of the hall: "Master, there is no one in there...she—that woman is gone! And...Nagini is gone too!"
Voldemort's face suddenly darkened.He sped across the hall to the secret execution room, and Snape quickly moved aside to give him the doorway.
Voldemort only glanced into the room, and his blood-red snake eyes stood up, exuding an aura of extreme anger.
"Nagini! That disgusting Mudblood stole Nagini!..." His voice broke off, and he closed his eyes as if feeling something.Then, he opened his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered Snape: "Go and get Nagini back for me, right now!"
Snape responded, as if he was also a little overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events, but his calmness took effect almost immediately. He bowed to Voldemort with a calm expression, and was about to turn around and leave.
Voldemort called to him again behind him, his tone extremely venomous.
"Also, fruited that Mudblood for me. Kill her as soon as you find her! You know?"
Snape paused slightly, and immediately replied, "Yes, my master."
……
Severus Snape faces a test when he Apparates to the outskirts of Hogwarts.
He had two choices: one, follow Voldemort's instructions to find Lily Evans and Nagini's whereabouts; -'s repeated emphasis and persuasion, as he promised, to return to Hogwarts to defend this great school and its teachers and students.
Snape looked around for a while, then slowly spread his right hand.A note appeared out of nowhere in his palm, slowly floated up, and opened automatically in his palm.
This is what the fake Lily stuffed into his hand quickly when she turned around to him after being hit by his Cruciatus Curse.It has to be said that under the situation of enduring great pain, she still maintained strong control over her body and will, and she managed to accomplish this without anyone noticing under the eyes of the Dark Lord.
Now the note was lying in his palm, with his familiar font on it.
【Now, your reputation is clear at Hogwarts.survive.Forgive me for actually not having any secrets about Lily to tell you.I'm sorry I lied to you again; however, I promise this will be the last time. 】
Such a few simple words, which seemed to have nothing to do with each other, made Snape stunned.
This is the... last words that fake Lily left him?Or the last entrustment?or hope?or explain? ——Oh, whatever it was, she couldn't explain it to him now anyway.
At that moment, the empty scene in that room appeared in his mind again.
There were indistinct bloodstains on the carpet, signs of struggle all over the room, overturned chairs, silver plates, and candlesticks lying on the floor; yet there was no sign of her anywhere—nor of the serpent so prized by the Dark Lord. trace.
A strange and bold conjecture suddenly appeared in his mind——
If by the time he opened the door she had died like Beryl Potter in the house in Godric's Hollow on Halloween 1981, and the snake Nagini was still there—
So, what's next?what will happen to himWhat would the Dark Lord have planned to do to him? ...
He hadn't forgotten what the Dark Lord had said to him through gritted teeth earlier - about whether he was the real owner of the Elder Wand - and that the Dark Lord had planted an anti-apparition at Malfoy Manor The Transfiguration Curse; all that should mean that the Dark Lord really wanted to kill him.
Then what?Why is he still standing here alive?
...That's because——because of the disarming curse she cast on Dumbledore the night he fell from the Astronomy Tower after chasing him here, and then in front of those Death Eaters!
Moreover, it was also because - she did not know how to take Nagini from Malfoy Manor!And for some reason that he didn't know, Nagini was very important to the Dark Lord; the Dark Lord couldn't just kill him until he got Nagini back, because the Dark Lord needed someone on his own. Find Nagini for Harry Potter while he's busy!
This thought seemed to make him feel a little dazed, surprised and at a loss for a moment.In that daze, his eyes fell, and fell on the last sentence in the note in his hand.
The handwriting that wrote that sentence was particularly messy and crooked. It was obvious that this note was written in a hurry, and it was even ended in a hurry due to lack of time; Like a needle stuck into his eye, he couldn't help but feel a prickly pain.
【Sorry, I lied to you again; however, I promise this will be the last time】
...Say it so--such an understatement, and it's so natural!No guilt at all for doing something wrong!There is... no sincerity at all! !
His face twitched violently a few times, his teeth were clenched, and there were inconspicuous veins on his cheeks, but the movements of his hands were extremely quick and slight.He folded the note again and put it back in his pocket.
...now, where would Severus Snape go?
The fake Lily had hinted that she had helped him clear his name, and that he would not face charges of ignorance when he returned to Hogwarts.He guessed that the fake Lily must have directed Professor McGonagall or someone else respectable to the old bee's memories of their secret promises and missions.
And he still has unfinished business.He also wanted to find that impulsive and brainless Potboy, and then follow Dumbledore's instructions to send that Potboy to die.Although the fake Lily kept emphasizing that the Potboy would be fine if he did so, he was still worried about whether this risky plan would be as safe and reliable as she promised.
But they don't seem to have a better way to defeat the Dark Lord right now.
Snape stood on the hillside of Hogsmeade, looking at the lights of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, and how many huge holes had been broken in the sky above Hogwarts Castle. A faint layer remains, which looks like a rag of a spell shield.
He knew that now that all the Death Eaters - including the Dark Lord himself - had assembled near the Forbidden Forest and that Hogwarts was about to be breached; he didn't have much time to carefully consider the two options, He must make a choice now.
His cheeks were tense and his teeth were chattering.Then he resolutely rushed down the hillside, towards the Hog's Head Bar.
