MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 1322 fear

  Chapter 1322 Dread

  Accompanied by a harsh creaking sound, the closed auditorium door was pushed open a gap at some point. Dawlish followed Filch through the half-opened door, and noticed the weird atmosphere at the opening dinner.

   Snape on the professor's chair frowned and looked at the visitor, not understanding why Aurors appeared in Hogwarts.

  However, Snape stood up amidst the whispers of the students, beckoning Dawlish to the small room next to the auditorium hall.

  Dawlish also hurriedly followed, the strange gazes cast by the students in the auditorium made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

   "The Daily Prophet intends to interview Hogwarts students?"

  Snape stared at the Auror in front of him, and repeated what the other party had said expressionlessly.

   "When will the "Daily Prophet" interview require the permission of the Ministry of Magic." Professor McGonagall, who walked into the room together, mocked sharply.

  She was in a bad mood.

  Because Hagrid told her that a girl was forcibly taken away by Death Eaters when the train just arrived at the station.

  She really couldn't understand that silly girl, why didn't she want to go with "Harry Potter", and had to come to Hogwarts to be caught by Death Eaters again?

   "Understood, I will arrange for a few students to be interviewed by the reporter of the "Daily Prophet." Snape guessed what they wanted to do, and nodded in agreement.

   "Let me arrange this matter." Professor McGonagall took the initiative to take over this task, and these small matters are usually handled by the deputy minister.

   "No, Alecto can handle this."

  Snape didn't give Professor McGonagall a chance, and went straight back to the auditorium to continue attending the unfinished banquet, leaving an annoyed Professor McGonagall behind.

   After the opening dinner, Snape, who had just returned to the principal's office, received an urgent notice to attend a temporary meeting.

   It is rare to encounter such a situation. After all, he himself is mainly in charge of Hogwarts, and he doesn't quite understand a simple attack, so a temporary meeting needs to be held for this?

   After rushing to the impromptu meeting, Snape didn't see the Dark Lord, only a group of loudly talking Death Eaters around the conference table.

   "Severus, take a seat first, the Dark Lord will be here soon." Yaxley saw Snape standing at the door of the hall, and motioned for him to take a seat first.

   "What the **** are you doing?" Snape asked, frowning.

   "It was just an accident."

   While speaking, Yaxley suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed his head slightly in respect to the figure behind Snape.

  The auditorium, which was originally noisy, fell silent instantly, and all the Death Eaters stood up from their seats one after another.

   Sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, Snape took the initiative to step aside and bowed his head slightly to pay tribute to Voldemort.

  After Voldemort walked to the main seat and sat down, he directly asked Snape beside him, "How is Hogwarts going?"

"As you wish, most of the students are already under control. However, there are still a small number of children from wizarding families who choose to drop out of school." After meeting Voldemort's scarlet eyes, Snape took the initiative to retreat and move away Sight, suggested, "I think that small part should belong to the rare diehards, it's better to teach them a profound lesson."

   "Pierce."

   Voldemort looked at the current Minister of Magic.

   "Master, I will deal with this matter immediately after I go back."

  Piers Thicknesse didn't look like the Minister of Magic at all, he looked like a real dog leg.

   "I heard that Harry Potter attacked those who searched the train this afternoon." Voldemort turned to Yaxley sideways. This was the main reason why he rushed back to England from abroad tonight.

   "Yes, master, they said they saw at least ten Harry Potters." Yaxley didn't dare to look directly into the Dark Lord's glasses, and lowered his head uneasily, "They came very suddenly, the person in charge of searching the train..."

   "You know I'm not asking about it." Voldemort interrupted dissatisfied.

   "We can't currently rule out that Harry Potter intends to use this to expand his influence, so that..." Yaxley glanced at Voldemort secretly, and said in a low voice, "...to lead everyone to rebel against the master."

  Voldemort was noncommittal about this, and turned to look at his other right-hand man, "Severus, do you seem to have any unique insights?"

   "Master, I think those Harry Potters are probably fake." Snape said his guess blankly after he noticed Voldemort's gaze.

"Fake?"

  A hint of imperceptible anger flashed across Yaxley's face, Snape's words almost negated his guess, and it was like calling him an idiot in public.

"The Order of the Phoenix doesn't have a so-called mark. If there is one, it's a phoenix, not a griffin. As far as I know, it's Albert Anderson's patron saint." Snape turned away the ugly Yaxley With a glance, he continued, "Besides, I heard people say that it is the badge of the Defense Association, which means that the attacker is a member of the Defense Association. Recently I heard that the activities of the Defense Association are very ordinary, and this is most likely Albert Anderson's Conspiracy."

  After sensing the Dark Lord's bad mood, Snape paused for a while, and after confirming that the Dark Lord was not angry, he continued to tell the information he knew.

   "As far as I know, that Mudblood formed the Defense Association when Dumbledore was still alive. He seemed to have expected such a day, so he planned to use it to rebel against his master."

  After listening to Snape's analysis, he didn't pay much attention to Voldemort in England recently, and quickly figured out the situation in Britain.

   That insidious Mudblood who brought the Ministry of Magic to the table last time is going to bring Harry Potter to the table this time?

This is indeed something he would do, but the only thing that puzzles Voldemort is that Harry Potter is not Scrimgeour, and he does not have the power of the Ministry of Magic to use. Could it be that Mudblood wants to use the Order of the Phoenix? ?

   Voldemort denied this possibility.

  Since the loss of Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix has also become a low-level organization, and there is no power to resist them at all.

  Even Voldemort didn't figure out what Albert wanted to do for a while.

  However, the more he was confused, the more he feared Voldemort. He believed that the other party would not waste their efforts, and there must be some terrible conspiracy brewing, which made Voldemort instinctively feel that the situation was not good.

"Find Harry Potter as much as possible, and I will allow you to deal with him on the spot if necessary." Voldemort's words caused quite a stir in the hearts of the Death Eaters, and none of them expected that the Dark Lord would allow them to kill Harry Potter. harry potter.

   "Compared to Harry Potter, that damned Mudblood is more difficult to deal with. I have to admit that I really underestimated him before." Voldemort's eyes flashed dangerously.

  Especially after the last battle with Albert in the Sea of ​​Azkaban, Voldemort's desire to get rid of Albert became more and more intense, even surpassing Harry Potter unconsciously.

In the depths of Voldemort's heart, no one else similar to Dumbledore is allowed to appear, especially the Mudblood in front of him is more terrifying than Dumbledore, but he has never forgotten that the other person has just turned twenty years old and is far from reaching his peak , the future has infinite potential.

  This made Voldemort even more eager to get the legendary invincible wand. As long as he had that invincible wand, he would be confident that he would wipe out that Mudblood the next time he saw it.

   It wasn't that Voldemort was afraid of Albert Anderson, but that the Death Eaters really couldn't stand his scourge.

  Voldemort could not care about the life and death of the Death Eaters, but once the Death Eaters suffered heavy losses, even he would be troubled. No matter how powerful he was, he needed someone to help control the Ministry of Magic.

   "Master, maybe I have a chance to find the location of that Mudblood, or the location of the Defense Association headquarters."

   After getting Voldemort's permission, Yaxley revealed his recent series of arrangements.

"Ever since I found out that the people in the Defense Association like to loot our people, I asked them to carry some items with tracking spells with them, so that after the things were snatched by those shameless people, they could follow those spells. The item finds the location of the other party."

"You did very well."

  Voldemort looked at Yaxley, satisfied with his left and right hands.

"One more thing, my lord," Yaxley reported, puffing out his chest. "We've captured old Hopkins' whole family, and I think he'll surrender soon. As long as Scrimgeour can be dismantled The shelter below, the family members who control the group of Aurors, I believe that those Aurors will really bow to their masters and compromise, and dare not continue to divide Yin and Yang.

  The Death Eaters looked at Yaxley in surprise, they didn't expect him to do so many things quietly.

   "Severus, I wonder if you have anything to add?" Yaxley raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly and looked at Snape.

   "I suggest that it's best to overestimate that Mudblood as much as possible." Snape hesitated for a moment, before reminding him, "If he's really that easy to kill, he should be dead by now. However, he's still alive..."
