New Professor at Hogwarts - Chapter 267
c267 Bad news one after another
One day in July, after attending another meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, Xia Ran, Snape, and Dumbledore all left the Black Mansion.
“What was Voldemort’s reaction?” Dumbledore asked.
Snape replied: “He has ordered me to find an opportunity to assassinate you.” After a pause, he continued: “You are not the Minister of Magic, but to the mysterious man, you are a far greater threat than the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to assassinate you with only a certain risk than taking greater risks to assassinate the Minister of Magic.”
After all, the Minister of Magic is the head of the official organization. No matter how prestigious and powerful Dumbledore is, sometimes his influence is still inferior to that of the Minister of Magic.
“Dumbledore, where is the elf?” Xia Ran also asked.
Dumbledore said: “When Dobby came to clean the room, I pretended to reveal a lot of information unintentionally. I believe that when he learned about my death, he would take Harry away.”
“Then…when will we do it?” Xia Ran asked in a deep voice.
“In the next few days.” Dumbledore said worriedly, “We can’t delay it any longer. Enough people have died. This war must be ended as soon as possible.”
As he spoke, he looked at Snape and said worriedly: “Severus, do your best…”
Snape nodded calmly, obviously he had been on guard over the past few months.
Xia Ran breathed a sigh of relief and seemed a little eager to try? !
******
Sure enough, a few days later, a breaking news spread from Hogwarts to the entire wizarding world.
Dumbledore is dead! Died at the hands of Potions Professor Severus Snape!
According to the “Daily Prophet” report, combat professor Charan Frémont was the first wizard to rush to the scene of the incident. He saw Snape’s escape with his own eyes, but according to him, he did not realize it at the time. Snape rebelled and took refuge in the man who must not even be named, so he allowed Snape to leave, which undoubtedly made Sharon Frémont very regretful.
At the same time, Ciaran Frémont confirmed the news of Dumbledore’s death. He told this reporter: “Dumbledore died at the hands of Severus Snape. We will Hold a final funeral for Dumbledore, and at the same time, we will cooperate without any secrets with the Ministry of Magic to combat the growth of dark magic as much as possible!”
But can his words really come true?
You know, because of the news of Albus Dumbledore’s death, the wizarding world has been completely panicked. Countless wizards are panic-stricken and feel that their future is precarious.
So, let’s wait and see!
…
Hogwarts was holding Dumbledore’s funeral. Xia Ran waited for the funeral to be over and dug the grave in the middle of the night when no one was around.
And Harry Potter in Privet Drive also welcomed an uninvited guest.
“Penny, long time no see.”
In Harry Potter’s horrified eyes, he saw that Severus Snape, the Potions Professor whom he hated the most and hated him the most, actually visited the Dursleys, and he actually knew Aunt Petunia?
Aunt Petunia knows him too? !
Vernon Dursley and Dudley Dursley both looked confused and looked at each other, wondering if they had entered the wrong house.
Petunia looked very surprised and a little uneasy, and asked: “Severus, I haven’t seen you in many years, you are here…”
“I’m going to take him away!” Snape pointed at Harry and said calmly.
“no!”
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Harry himself, which didn’t surprise him, and the other turned out to be Aunt Petunia, which made Harry even more surprised.
“I’m sorry, I’m not here to ask for your opinion.” Snape said and took out the wand from his arms, with a firelight flickering at the tip of the wand.
The Dursleys suddenly screamed in horror.
Harry shouted: “Are you going to take action? Snape, aren’t you a member of the Order of the Phoenix? Aren’t you afraid of Dumbledore?”
“Dumbledore? Order of the Phoenix?” Snape smiled contemptuously and said, “There will be no more Dumbledore. He is dead. Potter, Dumbledore is dead!”
“impossible!”
It was the same two voices. This time, Harry didn’t bother to watch Aunt Petunia. He glared at Snape fiercely and said, “You lied! How could Dumbledore die?”
Snape did not answer his question. He looked sideways outside the Dursley’s house and saw a figure flashing by. He said slowly: “Well, it seems that the news of my coming has been spread. Potter, I I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I’m going to take you away and hand you over to the Dark Lord.”
The Dursleys seemed to be frightened, huddled on the sofa and shivering.
Harry wanted to pull out his wand and face the approaching Snape, but when he touched it, he realized that because it was summer vacation at the Dursley’s house, he had forgotten to bring his wand with him, and he had left it upstairs. in the bedroom.
Dudley Dursley didn’t know why, but he suddenly had the courage and shouted to Snape: “No, you can’t do this! Aren’t you Harry’s teacher…”
“Get out of the way!” Harry shouted.
Snape fired a spell, hitting Dudley’s side and hitting the window. The glass was shattered and shattered all over the floor.
Dudley was so frightened that Aunt Petunia and Aunt Vernon pulled Dudley and hid behind the sofa.
Snapped!
There was a violent explosion, and Harry only saw a familiar short figure standing in front of him, grabbing his hand and disappearing. He knew this feeling, which was that of apparating.
But he didn’t want to leave like this. What should his relatives – even if neither party recognized it, but the blood connection could never be broken – face the rebellious Snape alone?
After Harry was apparated away by the elf, there were several more explosions, and several figures came in from outside. Xia Ran took the lead and looked at each other with Snape, exchanging a covert look. , then Xia Ran shouted: “Everyone is petrified!”
Snapped!
Snape disapparated, and Xia Ran’s spell hit the dining table in the living room. The dining table immediately became petrified and cracked into seventeen or eight pieces.
“Leave, that coward ran away?” Sirius rushed into the room angrily, holding the wand, but Harry was nowhere to be seen.
“Where is Harry? Where has he been? Was he taken away?”
Sirius was extremely anxious.
Lupine, Mr. Weasley, and Kingsley followed closely.
They all looked solemn. After receiving the summons from Mrs. Figg at the funeral, they immediately ran out of Hogwarts and apparated to Privet Drive, but it seemed that they were still a step too late? !
The Dursleys had met Xia Ran and knew that he was Harry’s teacher. At the same time, he seemed to be here to save Harry. Petunia said tremblingly: “He was taken away by a little… no, an ugly little man. It was just right. Before you arrive.”
“Elf?” Xia Ran asked.
Aunt Petunia nodded, then shook her head.
Xia Ran didn’t care, but said: “Since he was rescued by the elf, Harry should be safe for the time being, but his relatives…”
Several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m afraid you have to leave Privet Drive!” Lupine looked at the Dursleys and said, “I’m afraid such attacks will happen again in the future, because you are Harry’s relatives, and in the eyes of the dark wizard, you are forcing Harry to The best person to show up!”
Xia Ran clearly noticed that Vernon Dursley’s expression suddenly became extremely confused.
