HP: Let professors walk towards the light

During this period, apart from daily work and classes, I was too lazy to show my presence in front of other people. Privately, I also needed to perfect the magic of soul possession and prepare to deal with the upcoming "great changes" in the wizarding world. Also, I asked Lucius to find out the whereabouts of the current Death Eaters. Although that guy was very reluctant, he still owed me a favor - oh, I mean I concealed the diary.

When troubles pile up, time will be compressed. The end-of-year dinner of this school year ended with Potter destroying the evil black magic props and saving the "innocent" classmates from the predicament to win the house cup for Gryffindor.

In the days leading up to the Quidditch World Cup, I was groping in the Albanian forests, and if my deductions were correct, I would have "stumbled upon" the Dark Lord as a belated servant.

Sadly, I even wandered deep into the forest for two whole days without any news, except for... a very special shed skin of a viper.

There are usually all kinds of creatures living in the center of the forest. According to my observation, there are basically no other creatures or even magical creatures living nearby except for traces of various snakes. In fact, this should be considered good news, at least it proves that there used to be something that they couldn't get close to but was loved by snakes, plus the unusually large viper skin.

I am basically certain that Voldemort did live near here. Based on the clues that have been discovered, since it is certain that Voldemort is indeed in this forest, it is only a matter of time to find him.

The Quidditch World Cup is in late August, so I have plenty of time to waste in this forest.

The Dark Mark on his arm remained the same as before, a dim and thin layer that proved Voldemort's weak state. It was now impossible to communicate with this empty mark.

The sky gradually darkened, and the already dim forest became even more difficult to see at night, so we just found a flat place to rest.

Just as he was about to start arranging "Safe Guard" and "Universal Protection", he caught a glimpse of a flash of light coming from the corner of his eye. His fighting instinct drove him to throw a disarming spell at the opponent with the wand in his hand, but unfortunately the two spells collided and exploded in the air. Although he didn't expect the opponent to stand still obediently.

The sudden attack really disrupted my thoughts. I haven't seen any other person here in the past few days. Naturally, I don't find a random place to stay every day. So can we say that it is too timely?

The opponent's spell was obviously aimed at him. After casting another spell, he quickly used the surrounding trees and terrain to hide his figure. The opponent seemed to be very smart and did not expose himself.

The brightness around me has completely dimmed. It would be a very foolish idea to act rashly without knowing the opponent's position, but I can't just sit here and wait for the opponent to come to me.

Then, let's use Draco's specialty - an accidental escape.

Snakes don't need light, and the most unexpected means are often the simplest. He sent the black snake out of the shelter, moved his position, and waited for "good news".

In the pitch-silent night, even the sound of one's own breathing seemed to be amplified dozens of times.

Suddenly, a light coming from not far away successfully kicked off the competition.

However, the opponent could have been announced to leave the field at the same time as he was exposed. A few consecutive shattering shots were enough to split the cover and hit the opponent. But the magic shot from the left front protected the opponent at the critical moment. He was really well prepared.

"Go to hell, how dare you trick me? Avada Kedavra!"

It was a deep and deep male voice. The man was obviously enraged and angrily uttered a killing curse, but it was still a little off target.

After dodging a beam of green light coming from the direction of the explosion, there was movement in the front left. Someone was approaching this side. If it was just that one person, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with him, but the other person's companion might be a smart one, and it's not certain if there are other people nearby.

If you don't know the other party's true purpose, there is no need to fight them to the death here. Although it is very annoying, the plan has been disrupted and you can only leave this place first.

I threw out a few "Shadowless Swords" in those two directions, followed by a few consecutive Phantom Displacements to blur my movement path. After confirming that the other party was not following me, I quietly returned to Spider Tail Alley.

There was nothing strange about Spider's Tail Alley, and the barrier set up near the house when I left showed no signs of intrusion.

What does it mean that he came to me tonight without any warning? Judging from the way he attacked, he should not be just a dark wizard. He must be a Death Eater. He has a plan and a purpose. Could it be for Voldemort?

But after staying in Albania for nearly ten days, let alone Voldemort himself, I really doubt whether I should overturn my previous reasoning. If Voldemort is no longer in that forest, then what are those two people doing today?

It seems that I need to have a good talk with Dumbledore.

?

"Severus, I will hold a small gathering at 8 Grimmauld Place on August 13th. Of course, that is for us to discuss things better. You can tell everyone what you have experienced then."

When I arrived at Grimmauld Place, I happened to meet Kingsley Shacklebolt who came with me for an appointment. It seemed that the Ministry of Magic had also made arrangements.

After a polite greeting, he knocked on the Black door.

It was indeed an unexpected person who opened the door.

Hermalena opened the door and didn't seem surprised by my arrival. She welcomed us in with a simple "welcome".

"Why are you here?" Shaker took the lead and walked into the living room to greet others. I turned my head to look at Hermalena.

"I didn't expect that there would be such an important event today. Even Mr. Shacklebolt and Mr. Moody are here. Harry just said there was a dinner party today, and Hermione invited me because I live alone anyway." She shrugged with an innocent smile on her face.

I looked towards the living room, and sure enough, Dumbledore had arrived long ago. Black was of course there, Alastor Moody was leaning in the corner in a daze, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were sitting on the sofa. There were quite a few people present, including six red-haired people alone. Fortunately, the group of children nearby did not make any noise in such an occasion.

"Has anything happened to you recently?" Hermalena asked back.

Thinking about what happened before, I shook my head. Since the plan had not started and had not caused any serious consequences, there was no need to tell her to avoid worrying her.

"Severus, you're here. I'm sorry to have to notify you at such a last-minute notice. I hope I didn't disturb you." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Remus will probably be a while late, so when everyone is here, we adults can chat for a while and let the children play by themselves. It's still a long time before dinner."
