Chapter 556 London Idea King

Sleepiness in spring, fatigue in autumn, naps in summer, and sleepless months in winter and March. In the blink of an eye, August in England passed with great vigor, but no pink memories were left behind, only a long list of missing persons and dead persons in the newspapers.

The dark cloud of Voldemort still hangs over England, like the heavy fog that lingers in London, and like chewing gum stuck in the hair.

Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, was looking forward to seeing his customers, and the owners of the businesses in Diagon Alley were also looking forward to tears. Only Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes had a booming business and was packed with customers.

The three-piece anti-curse set in the store is in short supply. Even if you need to register your identity information and wand when purchasing, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of wizards. In such dangerous times, nothing can be more practical than a life-saving suit.

Wearing a curse-resistant cloak, a curse-resistant wizard hat, and a pair of curse-resistant gloves, this outfit looks cool even when walking in Knockturn Alley. It is simply a must-have for traveling at home and visiting relatives and friends.

Fast forward to September 1st of the same year again. This year’s platform nine and three-quarters has some new faces and fewer old faces. Every year on this day, the Hogwarts Express takes students to Hogwarts to begin their magnificent journey.

Different from the past, in view of the critical situation in the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic dispatched many people to protect this train carrying dreams.

There are Aurors on duty on the platform, and there are also people accompanying the train to protect it after it starts. There are even many Aurors stationed in Hogsmeade to protect the safety of Hogwarts students.

The same thing was that Harry's cards were as good as ever. Before Mr. Weasley could apply for a Ministry car again, Thicknesse lent him the Ministry's best car with a wave of his hand.

This card really makes Ada envious. The last time she used the ministry car was when Scrimgeour escorted her to Azkaban. This is the gap between people. The name of the Savior Star sounds louder than the French Devil.

But before Ada could sigh that her heart was as high as the sky and her life was as thin as paper, the news from Hogwarts almost shocked her jaw - Snape actually became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!

Yes, Ada heard it right, Severus Snape became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts and became a member of the annual faculty. What is this, a wish?

Snape is a master of potions and is also very good at dark magic. He was obsessed with dark magic when he was studying at Hogwarts. After becoming a faculty member at the school, he applied for this position more than once, and it was not until this year that he got his wish.

Ada would not write to Snape to congratulate her, but would wonder if there was any hidden secret behind it.

The statement of annual turnover is not groundless. Not only people like Quirrell and Lockhart will be cursed by their positions, but even outstanding people like Grover Cecil and Lupin are still unable to resist the curse.

Presumably Snape is no exception, which means that after the end of the 1995-96 school year, the former Potions Professor will most likely leave Hogwarts.

Who is Severus Snape? He is the spy king of the British wizarding world! Snape is Voldemort's confidant, the Dark Lord's spy at Hogwarts, a person Dumbledore trusts, and our intelligence agent who infiltrates the Death Eaters.

Such a person is placed in the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and may leave Hogwarts after a year, or it may not take more than a year. This... Ada is a little confused.

Her clever little mind is still not enlightened enough, otherwise she should say at this moment: The principal must have a deep meaning in doing this.

When humans can't figure something out, they want to hear other people's opinions, and Ada is no exception. It's not good to stay in the room alone and think blindly.

So Ada left the Ministry of Magic. She wanted to hear what the two idiots in the Weasley family thought of this change.

In Diagon Alley at night, there are only Ministry of Magic staff on duty. Although there is no one post every three steps or one sentry every five steps, they can communicate with each other, and there are all open sentinels, hidden sentries, and mobile patrols.

These people on the night shift work hard and have a serious attitude, but it is not easy to discover Ada. Although her Disguise Spell cannot match Harry's Invisibility Cloak, it is enough to hide it from ordinary people.

After bypassing all the checkpoints, Ada stood at the door of No. 93 Diagon Alley.

A familiar scene appeared, Ada knocked on the door, and George opened the door. The difference was that this time George was not surprised by Ada's arrival, as if he knew she would come.

In the small room upstairs of the shop, this is where the twins usually rest. At this moment, the three of them are sitting on the floor. Ada is looking forward to it, while Fred and George are frowning in thought.

The position that Snape had been dreaming of for more than ten years was suddenly obtained today. The twins also couldn't understand it. The guesses given by the two brothers even made Ada wonder if the two of them were taking advantage of her.

"I think so," Fred said suddenly. "I think Dumbledore may have some extremely dangerous mission for him."

Fred looked serious, and Ada stupidly believed him. She asked, "An extremely dangerous mission?"

"Yes, that must be the case," George said, taking over from his twin brother. "Because the task Snape accepted was particularly dangerous, even more dangerous than the current task, so Dumbledore gave him a little sweetener to satisfy his desire. wish!"

Ada was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses - isn't this just what you want to take, and you will definitely give it back! Is this Dumbledore's pua against Snape?

"Mission...mission..." Ada murmured, "What will this mission be?"

"I don't know." The twins said in unison, "We are not the roundworms in Dumbledore's belly, how can we know his thoughts."

Ada ignored the noises of the two brothers and was still immersed in her own world, thinking about what kind of task it would be. Dumbledore did not hesitate to let Snape become a professor.

After more than ten minutes, Ada, who was thinking hard, still had no clue, but the twins didn't want to wait any longer. They were not that interested in Snape becoming a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Anyway, they are not students of Hogwarts now, and they are not the ones who suffer, so why worry about that.

Unwilling to be left alone, the two brothers raised their arms and waved them back and forth in front of Ada's eyes, like two seaweeds drifting with the waves. They also made some strange syllables in their mouths, as if they were suffering from some serious illness.

"You should pay attention to us!" Fred complained, "Wobbling is also very tiring!"

"Besides greasy Snape, don't you have anything to say to us?" George asked, and he was hinting... no, he was making it clear, he was steering the topic to the topic of conversation in the office that day.

Fred and George's eyes were very bright, shining with a moving light. This light penetrated into Ada's heart, making her feel that she desperately needed the help of the twins. Without them, she could not accomplish anything.

After thinking for a while, Ada said: "There is really one thing. Maybe you can help with some ideas."

"Just tell me, my nickname is the Idea King of San Calchibo Village," Fred promised, patting his chest, and George nodded in agreement, his movements so large that he almost knocked his head on the ground.

"It's about Bellatrix Lestrange," Ada said. "The person we all know has given her a very important item for safekeeping. Where do you think she will hide it?"

The twins frowned again and kept scratching their smooth chins with their index fingers, as if this would help them think.

"At home?" Fred said, "Many people keep their things at home, right under their noses, and it is easier to protect them."

It sounds reasonable. Humans are also animals, and it is an instinct to hide valuable items in their lairs. Just like a cave full of golden treasures is always guarded by a dragon.

"Isn't it a little too easy, Fred?" George looked at his brother, "Home is indeed a good place, but I always feel that it is too easy to be guessed. And Lestrange is not imprisoned in Azka Has Ban been here for many years? It’s not impossible that her home will be visited by others, and Dunge is a good hand.”

Yes, thieves just like this kind of mansion that is deserted all year round, especially when the owner of the mansion is a lifelong member of Azkaban. But there is a place where thieves are almost never encountered, and where the owner is not searched when he is in jail.

"You've been making a lot of money lately, right?" Ada asked, having a big plan.
