[HP] Mrs. Snape

Chapter 79 Phoenix Nirvana

Arya attended Dumbledore's funeral. She sat in the back row and watched quietly, her heart was empty. Until now, she still couldn't believe that Dumbledore was dead, at the hands of Death Eaters. He is so powerful, how could he be killed...

Most of the people around had the same expression as her, dazed in pain, Dumbledore is dead, but the mysterious man is still there, what should they do?

what to do?Arya didn't know anymore. When she got the news last night, she was in a Muggle bar two streets away from the Ministry of Magic. A "messager" from the Legal Affairs Department had something new to tell her.According to Arya's subordinates, within 2 minutes of walking out of the bar, the partner stopped her in a panic and stopped her, yelling: "Dumbledore is dead!"

What?Arya remembered that there was a buzzing in her ears at the time, and her first reaction was not to believe it!However, the facts made her not believe it. After 10 minutes, she confirmed the authenticity of the news. When she learned that the Minister of Magic had rushed to Hogwarts with someone, Arya fell to the cold floor , sitting in a daze, looking at the piecemeal, important, or worthless "news" on the table, she still didn't want to believe it, didn't want to...

Now facing Dumbledore's body, she had to believe it, Arya stared wide, she didn't want to cry, tears are a sign of weakness, but she couldn't control herself, the big bean Drops of water rolled down her cheeks, Arya held her hand tightly, restraining herself...

The mournful singing of the mermaid gradually dissipated, and the crowd gradually left. Arya stared blankly at the white arch. It was very strange that the place where the tall person lived after death was so small...

Andrew looked at him from afar, as if he wanted to come over, but Severus stopped him, she forced a smile at the child, shook her head, turned and left.The secret work she did could not be recognized on such an occasion, Arya gently wiped the foundation on her face with a handkerchief, turned and left with the crowd...

With Severus around, she was assured of Andrew's safety. He had been by Andrew's side during the funeral just now.

Quickly walking down the gentle slope, Arya looked back at the majestic castle. This was the first time she stepped into Hogwarts. Dumbledore had invited her back then, but she refused. Now that I think about it, it’s really I really regret it, if she had agreed, at least she and the professor could chat more...

With tears in her eyes, she walked slowly on the familiar streets of Hogsmeade, the thoughts in her mind flowed out uncontrollably, Dumbledore was complicated to her, Arya admired him, respected him...he His wisdom and kindness made Arya feel the warmth more than once, as if, like the warmth of her father, that was the warmth she had never had before...

Arya herself sometimes finds it ridiculous, but she can't control this kind of thinking. She knew from the first meeting that Dumbledore knew what she wanted to do, and she also knew that he would not expose her little tricks ...

After that, the contact gradually increased, and this feeling became deeper and deeper. There was a special tacit understanding between her and Dumbledore. She let Andrew contact him with confidence because she knew that Professor Dumbledore would not hurt Andrew. She trusted him. he!

She proposed to work in the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore smiled knowingly, without saying a word, and arranged her in the position she wanted most; Lido's surprised gaze, Arya knew, they thought of being together again; after being injured, when the idea of ​​forming an undercover news agent was still a concept in her mind, Dumbledore took the initiative to find her and put the intelligence network he had built up over the years Leave it to her to manage...

trust!Yes, they trust each other.There are even many things she won't tell Severus, but she is willing to tell Dumbledore. They write letters almost every week. He is like a real father, pointing her out and discussing which lemons with her. The ice cream is the best, the song is the most touching, tell her how to release the magic power in her body, tell her those long stories, tell her that love is more important than hate...

Arya quickly walked into "Alice's Ready-made Clothing Store". Sophie's father had already returned from Hogwarts' funeral, and was leaning against the counter in depression, "Hey, ma'am, you can't go there." He stopped Arya's footsteps, she was walking towards the basement.

"It's me, John," Arya said, covering her face, sobbing. "It's me, Arya, sorry. I want to be alone."

After seeing that it was the boss, John agreed, "Don't be too sad, boy, he, he is a great man." He whispered behind Arya.

Not upset?How can you not be sad?Arya quickly ran into the basement, lying on a cargo bag, unable to suppress the pain in her heart anymore, and cried bitterly.

It shouldn't be, things shouldn't be like this, obviously a few days ago they were still discussing the deployment in the Ministry of Magic, and the interesting things about Severus and Andrew at school, but suddenly people just disappeared like this Like Lin, gone... away from her.

Thinking of Lin, Arya felt even more uncomfortable. She slammed the door shut, covered her mouth and slid down on the wall, crying sobbingly. She had a feeling that Lin really died that day. Lin's last ray For her, the soul blocked Avada Kedavra, and disappeared. No one guards her anymore, no one...

Alia didn't know how long she had been crying. When she got up from the ground, her mind was blank. After crying for a while, her heart felt a little better. She wiped away her tears and stopped crying after today. With Andrew to protect, she must continue to complete the work assigned to her by Dumbledore!

She staggered against the wall and stood up, only to realize that she was hiding in the secret room in the basement, which led to her forest cabin.Just as she was thinking about walking directly from here, there was a sudden groaning sound, and the hairs all over Arya's body stood up instantly. Is there someone here? !Right here in this room!

She hurriedly backed up against the wall, and quickly drew out her wand from the wand cover on her cuff. Then, under the cover of her robe, Arya pointed the tip of her wand at the place that was not enough for two people to stand.

The groaning became louder. Arya listened carefully. It came from the bottom of the wall below her feet. There was a silver-white trace there. Arya recognized that it was an invisibility cloak. She covered her mouth with a thunderbolt. Unable to cover his ears, he opened the invisibility cloak, and then, as if he had cast an Imperius Curse, he was stunned...

Old John was dejectedly pawing at the bill on the counter with his wand. He was not in the mood to do business today, and no one was in the mood to buy clothes today. Dumbledore's death was a huge blow to British wizards, but for several For those who had lived in Hogsmeade all their lives, it was more like the loss of an old friend.

Sad cries came faintly from the basement. Old John's eyes were wet. He knew that the owner Arya was Dumbledore's good friend. The two of them had been to the shop together a few times, and it was inevitable that Arya would be sad...

"Hi, Arya," the basement door creaked, and Old John quickly looked at the young girl with concern, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

The poor girl's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. She seemed to have been hit hard, and she was in a trance.

"Oh, oh, it's all right. I'm all right." The poor girl nodded at him in a daze, then staggered away, almost tripping over the door when she went out, Old John shook his head pityingly, deeply sigh.Who wouldn't be sad? Hearing Sophie say that the poor girl has no parents and has a son whose father is unknown at a young age. Professor Dumbledore must have taken good care of her and her son, which is why she is so sad.

"Huh?" In a blink of an eye, the young boss came back, followed by the weird owner of the Pig's Head Bar!

"Oh, John, there are some silks I need recently in the warehouse. I'm going to move to Diagon Alley, and this gentleman is free to help." She explained, and then led the gloomy weirdo up the warehouse.

Are the shops in Diagon Alley reopening?Old John staggered up from behind the counter with a cane and a broken leg. He lay on the cash register and looked towards the underground warehouse. Unfortunately, the door was closed by Arya...

After a while, the owner of the Pig's Head Bar came out carrying a long box that was as long as a person. Old John quickly opened the door with his wand, and said to Alia, who was still pale behind him, "Do you need help calling a car?"

"Car? Oh oh, no need, no," she said with a smile before the tears on her face dried up, "No need, thank you, John, me, I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly opened the door and went out. John looked out through the glass door with his neck up. She followed the weirdo to the Pig's Head Bar...

Old John shrugged, and when the door jingled and customers came, he put the matter behind him with a quick smile.

After Dumbledore's funeral, Snape and the school teachers sent all the students away one by one, and after ensuring that they got home safely, they relaxed a little...

But it was just a little bit, the busyness of the past few days left everyone with no time to think about anything, but after seeing off the students, all the teachers were silent when they saw the empty castle...

Everyone sat in front of the round table in the auditorium, staring at the empty seat on the main seat, and no one was willing to speak for a moment.Every summer vacation, the deans of the four colleges will gather here after sending off the last student to have a drink for the year that has ended, and every year, the principals will attend this party...

"Come on," McGonagall took the lead in raising the cup, took a breath, and said with a sob: "Cheers to us sending away another group of students!"

The other three raised their glasses silently. The crisp sound of the glass made people feel shocked. After taking a sip of wine, everyone fell silent again. In previous years, it was the headmaster who took the lead in toasting. With him, no matter how tired they were, everyone would It's all smiles...

"For Headmaster Dumbledore," McGonagall raised his glass again, "into Albus."

"Join Albus." Everyone whispered.

The last supper of this school year was delicious. After the hasty end, Snape was about to go back to the cellar when McGonagall stopped him.

After Flitwick and Professor Sprout walked away, McGonagall asked, "Severus, what are your plans in two months?"

Intend?Snape looked at the wrinkled McGonagall calmly, and said softly, "Didn't we discuss it just now? As long as there is one student, the school will remain open."

His answer seemed to dissatisfy McGonagall, she sighed, stared at him like a vulture, and shook her head: "You know that's not what I said, Severus." She looked at his arm .

Of course he knew what McGonagall wanted to ask, but he didn't want to talk about these things. After looking at McGonagall with a solemn expression for a while, Snape tightened his hands and said softly: "As usual, continue with me. work." Then, after thinking for a while, he added, "This is the task assigned to me by the headmaster, of course it was before his death, but after all, the portrait of Albus is still in the headmaster's office, isn't it?"

McGonagall nodded and approved his words. Although the portrait of Albus in the principal's office has been asleep during this time, at least part of his memory is still there, isn't it?

"Then," McGonagall pursed her lips, looked at the expressionless Snape, with some worry flashing in her eyes, and said heavily, "Then you must be careful, Severus."

Snape nodded to McGonagall, turned and left.His arms were burning hot, and the Dark Lord was calling to him.

When he arrived, a small party was about to start. Everyone was sitting around the long table, and there was silence except for the sound of his leather shoes on the stone floor. Snape paused, and Blake was sitting In his place - to the right hand of the Dark Lord.It can be seen that many people are very jealous of this position, Bellacritus almost tremblingly stared at the smiling Dark Lord, as if looking at the most handsome man in the world, even though that smiling face was almost invisible in Snape's eyes It's exactly the same as Andrew's giant tortoise named Dudu.

The pause was almost invisible. He calmly walked to Blake's vacant position, ignoring everyone's mocking and even malicious gazes. They seemed to hope that he would make a noise.

Sit down with a blank expression, as if hypnotizing yourself, put on a set of thoughts in your mind that you want that person to see: there was originally his place!How can Blake, who is weak and incompetent and only begs him, win the favor of the great Dark Lord!That task was originally his!Little Malfoy didn't have the ability to kill Dumbledore at all!Damn, give Blake a head start...

The number of people gradually increased, filling up the table that was almost as long as the long table in Hogwarts. Among them, Snape found a few faces that often appeared on Arya's desk, and those people I don't know whether it is fear or excitement, my legs are shaking non-stop.But even so, they all looked around nervously at the same time. They seemed to be a little curious about the people at the top of the long table, and their eyes kept gliding across their faces.

Snape noticed that the Dark Lord was looking in his direction, and that a small Death Eater next to him was shaking his teeth with excitement... and Snape himself remained expressionless.

The Dark Lord seemed pleased with what he saw, grinning with an almost toothless mouth...

Tonight is "New Year's Eve," said the Dark Lord, welcoming the new Death Eaters.The Death Eaters laughed like crows, Snape wondered, what's so funny about that?Was it to cater to the Dark Lord's rare good mood and sense of humor?

"Of course, my dear Blake also brought good news. Hogwarts is about to usher in a new headmaster." The clear and high-pitched voice continued.

Snape's mind froze, how could it be?Dumbledore had just died, and the necrotic Ministry of Magic would appoint a new headmaster so quickly?

"Of course not, Severus," the Dark Lord said slowly, looking at him, "the Ministry of Magic will soon become the efficient and fast Ministry of Magic, not the Necrosis."

Snape shivered suddenly, bowed his head respectfully, and saluted the Dark Lord. His low profile and calm attitude seemed to make the Dark Lord very satisfied, and Snape felt that he should be satisfied, after all, in a group of either It is not easy to find a loyal and capable subordinate who is neither humble nor overbearing, but also loyal to him, among those who are silent or half crazy.

"Where did you just say, yes, the headmaster, the headmaster of Hogwarts," a breath spewed out from those slender snake-like nostrils, making him even more weird, "Blake told me Hogwarts The Watts board of directors has already elected a new headmaster. Of course, when all members of the board of directors have passed, the role of the Ministry of Magic is already insignificant. Severus, as the teacher of Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Slater Dean Lin, do you want to know who this person is?"

Of course, the Dark Lord's eyes and tone made him think of a possibility, Snape looked at the Dark Lord nervously, "Severus Snape, the information you provided recently is very reliable, we have destroyed I have captured three dens of the Order of the Phoenix, and I will provide you with reliable and effective information and rewards for your loyalty to the Dark Lord, and you will become the new headmaster of Hogwarts!"

really!He looked at the Dark Lord in ecstasy, leaned quickly, and said flatteringly: "My master, here, thank you for bestowing such a high honor on your loyal servant, I will definitely live up to your entrustment."

Blake glanced at Snape with a puzzled expression, he seemed a little surprised how could a person even speak such righteous words of flattery? !

Headmaster of Hogwarts?Merlin knew that his gratitude to the Dark Lord at this moment was definitely from the bottom of his heart!To succeed Dumbledore as Headmaster of Hogwarts?Even though the headmaster was just a puppet to help him manage the little wizards in the eyes of the Dark Lord, Snape didn't care, as long as he sat in that position, no one could pull him down unless he died!

The meeting was followed by revelry, the Dark Lord leaving with his pet snake, the house-elf at the Malfoy mansion serving up bottles of schnapps, and the Death Eaters laughing around the Dark Lord's new favorite, Blake, or Stuart. Nep laughed wantonly and made noise.

Finding a gap, Snape held the glass away from the reveling crowd, and he didn't take a sip of the liquid in the glass.

Facing Blake Yaoyao's hesitant expression towards him, he was extremely calm at this moment. Seeing Blake's eyes full of fear because of the touch of the Dark Lord, he confirmed that Blake was controlled by others, and That person was just killed by him a few days ago...

He also knows that Blake, who is one of the board members of Hogwarts, must have contributed a lot to his being the headmaster. It is impossible for Voldemort to succeed in coercing and luring all the ancient wizard families, and he believes that the list of candidates must be endless. He was alone, and Voldemort hadn't trusted him as much recently, especially after Blake killed Dumbledore...

And it is very likely that this is also Dumbledore's idea at the same time. Dumbledore's plan is always in the cloud and people can't see clearly. From this year, except for school affairs, Dumbledore rarely assigns him extra tasks. , Arya quietly told him, this is probably because Dumbledore is changing his position!

But what is the new position that Dumbledore wants?Snape couldn't help thinking of the conversation that happened a week before Dumbledore's death that night. Dumbledore told him with a solemn expression that after his death, after Voldemort took control of the school, he needed to do everything in his power to protect Hogwarts student, and he handed him a memory, a memory that the Dark Lord handed to Potter after his death, when he set up protection for the serpent...

At that time, he thought that the death Dumbledore mentioned was when the black curse on his right hand spread and died, and he would protect the school students, of course he would!His son is still studying at Hogwarts!And this is the duty of a principal!

However, with Dumbledore's sudden death, and apparently premeditated killing, what does his last entrustment mean?Why Nagini?What kind of mission did Dumbledore give Potter?He really wanted to talk to Arya, she was always so sensible, but, under the witness of Moody, an unbreakable vow made him have to grit his teeth and complete the task...

Seeing the group of lunatics in front of him getting more and more troublesome, Snape looked at the pale-faced Malfoy family not far away, turned and left.

He wanted to see Arya, after all that had happened, he wanted to go back to that warm home, to see his lover and his son.
