[HP] Mrs. Snape

Chapter 75 Preparations before the war

The situation is getting worse and worse. People are missing or dying every day in the newspapers. The Dark Mark appears everywhere. Fear permeates the entire wizarding world. Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are no longer as lively as they used to be. The head flashed past the shop in a hurry, Alice's ready-made clothing store in Diagon Alley was closed, Sophie's baby was just born, and Arya couldn't let her take risks, after paying Sophie a huge commission , Arya disposed of all the things in the store.

Lupine was too busy to take care of Hogsmeade's store. He was busy with the Order of the Phoenix. Sophie recommended her father to her, and Arya readily agreed. It must be kept, it was the last line of defense Arya left for Severus and Andrew, and only the three of them knew the tunnel under the shop leading to the forest villa.

In the following days, Arya rejected Severus' proposal to send her and Andrew away again. There was no escape, and no one could escape this situation.Besides, is it safe abroad?After realizing how brutal the Death Eaters are, Arya understood that hiding cannot escape the pursuit of Death Eaters and Voldemort.

Besides, the days without Severus felt meaningless to her.She finally had a home, and what she has to do now is to protect this home.

"Simple-minded! Thinking ideally!" If Lin was here, she would definitely teach her like this. Lin is always swift and resolute. She taught Arya to put herself first in everything and to protect herself to the greatest extent. Arya has always learned well However, after dying once, Arya thought about many things clearly. She, Andrew, and Severus have long been a whole, and one is indispensable!For this family, she is willing to give everything!

In the sight of Severus almost killing her, Arya walked out of the house that was cast with a secrecy spell, hiding in the nest like a mouse, watching her family risk their lives outside, Arya can't do it!

"When did your brain look like a stupid Gryffindor!" Severus, who was in the Order of the Phoenix at that time, yelled, gnashing his teeth, which made Blake, who was from Gryffindor next to him, want to rush over in anger. Arya put down the pen in her hand, wrapped her arms around Severus' neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth. The effect was very good. Severus, who was furious, fell silent instantly, and Blake, who jumped up and yelled "snot man", did as well. There was silence.

"We are a family, Sif." Arya explained at the time: "Didn't we agree to be together forever?"

Severus didn't speak for a long time, quietly looking into Arya's eyes, and Arya also looked up at him, clasping her hands tightly, even her cold fingers couldn't resist the heat wave in her heart.

After that day, Severus no longer prevented her from going out to activities, but kept urging her to learn spells. Needless to say, Arya also attached great importance to this. It seemed that after her heart became firm, the wand became very useful, Ellie Apart from developing secret members for the Order of the Phoenix, Ya's main thing now is to practice spells with Andrew's textbook and notes.

Arya's current job is somewhat similar to that of an underground party. She uses her contacts in the Ministry of Magic to secretly find those who admire Dumbledore and actively lobby them!Slowly the scope of this work extended beyond the Ministry of Magic.

In fact, there is no need for them to do anything at the stage of implementation, just for future consideration, Arya must ensure that she has established a huge intelligence agency, which is divided into several layers, from the most intimate secretary of the Minister of Magic to the most common Every floor has its own person, and each floor has its own person in charge. This person in charge also has his own upline directly under him to ensure a single-line connection. In case something happens to one person, there will be no Let the entire intelligence network be implicated...

Only Arya and Dumbledore knew about this intelligence network from its establishment to its final determination of personnel, and even Severus was only vaguely aware of the existence of this information, but Arya never revealed the specific list and information. It’s not that she doesn’t trust him, it’s just that once the secrecy rules are established, Arya must take the lead in complying with them, and it’s also related to highly confidential intelligence work. There is another more important aspect, she must let Dumbledore treat her and Severus absolutely trusted it!Only in this way, he will first worry about their comfort and Andrew's safety at the critical moment.

Although a leader like Dumbledore is sometimes unpredictable, should he join Voldemort?It's not within the scope of Arya's consideration at all. Dumbledore's boss who treats everyone with the greatest tolerance, and that bloodthirsty boss who is extremely unstable and kills at every turn, which one do you choose?

neutral?Ha, if you don't have strong strength during the war, are you qualified to be neutral?Besides, Severus himself has already been deeply involved, unless Voldemort is destroyed, there is absolutely no way for their family to live a stable life!Arya must speed up this process as much as she can!

And the base of Arya's work was chosen in the forest cabin, which was the cabin where Severus did the werewolf experiment!Her job was inconvenient for too many people to know about, even though they were all members of the Order, and Dumbledore, after visiting the forest, agreed.

"No one can enter this forest without your permission, Arya." When Dumbledore came to the cabin for the first time, he carefully inspected the forest that was almost a hilltop and said, "This It is an ancient magical heritage, and its last owner must have been a powerful wizard."

wizard?Arya wasn't sure if her grandmother, whom she had barely met, was a wizard?But I've never heard of it before. Ms. Jessica didn't mention her biological mother, but she has a very good relationship with her stepmother!In the Philip family, the name of Ms. Jessica's biological mother had never been heard.And when Arya received the letter from the lawyer that year, she mistakenly thought it was her mother's stepmother, which was a rare generosity.

It's a pity that grandma has been dead for many years, that is to say, grandma knew she was a wizard at the time, so she left such a forest full of protective spells to her mother?

No matter how you guess, you can't know the truth. Alia has lost contact with her mother in the United States and her father in London. In the past few years, don't talk about phone greetings, even Christmas cards have never been exchanged. .Therefore, when arranging for Andrew in case of an accident between himself and Severus, his original closest parents were the last option in the most desperate situation.

Maybe, never seeing each other again and forgetting each other is the best ending for each other. Maybe many years later, she will attend the funeral of Mr. Dashwood and Ms. Jessica Phillips, if they inform her.

Every day, Arya made sure to screen the collected information and report it to Dumbledore in time, and then he would arrange specific personnel to work. Slowly, Arya also learned about Dumbledore's arrangements among the Death Eaters, and sent On the one hand, the people of the Order of the Phoenix monitor those known Death Eaters. Among the Death Eaters, besides Severus and Blake, Dumbledore also has other spies, but Arya is not sure who they are. .

It is very difficult to plant spies inside the Death Eaters. The reborn Voldemort seems to distrust wizards very much. There are very few wizards in the new team, and almost all of them are on the periphery. The core members are basically old Death Eaters. Arya didn't dare to contact these people directly, so she could only arrange some people to inquire about the news. According to the information Arya collected, giants, infernal corpses, werewolves and even goblins are all important members of Voldemort's new team...

After school started, Severus had a lot more freedom. During the summer vacation, he had been monitored by someone assigned by Voldemort. The two of them had to find a good opportunity to meet each other so that they could not be suspected.Now through the tunnel, Arya can see Severus at least twice in three days. Although they are more often in meetings, seeing him, holding hands, and a small parting kiss make Arya feel at ease. .

The school is not very peaceful, Dumbledore has rarely been in school recently, and Professor Severus and McGonagall are in charge of almost all the affairs of Hogwarts, and the restless atmosphere has made the students suffer a little bit. Affected, students are constantly being told that something happened in their home...

Severus was very concerned about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, especially the students above the fourth grade. He did not teach the students step by step according to the contents of the textbook like Lupine did. Almost all the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes are practical now. Operations, how to quickly cast effective protective spells, and even offensive spells are his teaching goals.

Arya understood that in the face of an increasingly chaotic situation, Severus hoped that the students could at least learn some useful spells to protect themselves. This Dumbledore also agreed, but, facing such painstaking efforts, many students Couldn't see it, or Severus was too harsh in class, and Arya could often hear the students who came to Hogsmeade on weekends cursing Severus in whispers.

And Andrew, after failing twice, successfully became Slytherin's Seeker this year, he was very excited about this matter, and when he came to Hogsmeade on the weekend, he jumped up and down and said to Arya The thrill of the selection at that time, "Almost, almost got hit by the Quaffle! I dodged, swish, flipped behind the broom, a carp jumped the dragon gate, jumped up from the broom, and caught the Snitch!" Andrew's face was rosy when he said it, and Arya would never tell Andrew, who felt like a hero, that his father had told her that the end result was that he fell heavily from the air, almost broke his cervical spine, and lay down in the hospital wing for three days. God can get out of bed and walk...

Arya is very happy that Andrew is carefree. He is still young and shouldn't worry about those outside things. The impact of his own injury on the child during the summer makes Arya feel heartbroken when he thinks about it. Andrew is in During the summer vacation, she hardly left her side.

Now Arya meets Andrew almost every week in Hogsmeade, and the sense of security that his parents are by his side makes Andrew quickly forget his sorrow, and he is gratified to be happy again.

Severus told her that Andrew was now either on the court or in the library continuing his research, and that his inner circle was solid and safe.

With the deepening of intelligence work, Arya gradually understood the path arranged by Dumbledore for Severus, and it is very likely that Dumbledore took the initiative to reveal Arya.

Voldemort wanted to use Severus to spy on Dumbledore and Harry Potter, and Dumbledore also ensured that Severus was the only person for this task, and asked Severus to reveal some information about himself or Potter to him from time to time. The enemy, even if Voldemort has doubts about Sever, he can't do anything about him, so he can only continue to use Severus, who can get in close contact with Dumbledore and Harry Potter, to inquire about news, and he The improved wolf, poison, medicine, and potion are also a bargaining chip for Voldemort to win over werewolves...

In other words, Arya analyzed alone, that is to say, regardless of Voldemort and Dumbledore, for different purposes, they all wanted to place Severus in Hogwarts.

This is good news for their family, at least Voldemort will not send Death Eaters to Hogwarts directly to kill people!

And based on what Severus said, Arya guessed that Dumbledore probably gave Blake a part of the work that he originally wanted to assign to Severus!

The huge wealth of the Blake family and the status of the Hogwarts school board have made Blake's status among the Death Eaters significantly increased. Several times it is clear that Arya has received certain information here, and Dumbledore will deliberately make a decision. Arrangements for unknown members of the Order of the Phoenix to deliberately enter the Death Eaters ambush, and during several such ambushes, Arya quietly observed that Blake was involved in the operation, that is to say, Blake has now replaced Severus Part of spying?

Some specific things Dumbledore never disclosed to Arya.She didn't intend to spy, trust is mutual, how much she trusts Dumbledore, how much trust Dumbledore will give her in return, Lin taught her to look at people since she was a child, how to see through the essence of a person, although human nature is very Complicated things, but, like peeling an onion, peel this person layer by layer, remove the false and keep the true, from the outside to the inside, look at the innermost core of a person, and you will judge how you should treat this person up.

In this regard, Arya has almost never missed a hand. The handsome and humorous boyfriend Big Joe, Arya immediately ran away when she saw his dark and cruel nature!

There was also Severus, the meeting was not pleasant at first, even though he had been obsessed with her, Arya still made up her mind to approach this man slowly, precisely because she saw through his loyal and affectionate nature ;As for Dumbledore, Arya knows better, Severus once said that he sometimes hates the way she thinks about things, because it reminds him of Dumbledore!Arya smiled at the time and took this sentence as a compliment. Maybe when she reaches Dumbledore's age, she will be more like him. In essence, they are the same kind of person...
