Chapter 599 Abandoning the Car to Save the Commander

"Severus, will you watch over my son Draco as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?"

"Are you willing to do your best to protect him from harm?"

"And, if necessary...if Draco is about to fail...are you willing to carry out what the Dark Lord has told Draco to do?"

This is the unbreakable oath made by Severus Snape and Narcissa Malfoy. The content of the oath was told by Narcissa to Ada. Snape only said "I do" three times from beginning to end.

After hearing the entire content of the oath, Ada couldn't help but want to ask: Narcissa, why don't you just let Snape kill Dumbledore?

Before Draco carried out his first assassination plan, the mail-order opal necklace, Snape had been watching over him and wanted to help.

Unexpectedly, at that time, Master Malfoy was so confident that he disdained Snape's help and did not believe that Snape really wanted to help him. Therefore, Master Malfoy rejected his headmaster and his fellow Death Eaters.

Without any surprise, Malfoy's hasty assassination plan failed. Not only did he hurt the innocent Katie Bell, but the incident was revealed and he was imprisoned.

It seemed that Snape had violated the second clause of his oath by failing to protect Draco Malfoy.

But in fact, Snape has no ability to change the decisions made by Dumbledore and Ada. This is the difference between desperate efforts and hard work. Moreover, Draco Malfoy was only detained at the Ministry of Magic without a scratch on his skin.

The first two requirements are actually nothing, and it can even be said that they are not difficult at all. The requirement to take care of and protect to the best of our ability is the same as not being mentioned.

The real difficulty is the third clause of the oath, which is also Ada's biggest worry.

According to the Unbreakable Oath, when Malfoy was unable to complete the assassination mission, Snape had to complete the mission in his place and assassinate Dumbledore on his behalf. This was the problem.

The current situation is like this. Malfoy, who is being held in the Ministry of Magic, cannot continue his mission. According to the oath, Malfoy's mission will be completed by Snape.

Of course, Ron's poisoning had nothing to do with Snape, and his plan couldn't be so bad. In addition to Snape, there are others in the school who are completing tasks assigned by Voldemort.

But even if Voldemort appeared at Hogwarts, he would not have the confidence to kill Dumbledore, let alone Snape.

What's more, Snape is still a rebel among the Death Eaters. Even the clues about the Horcrux were passed on to Ada's rebel. Whether he has the will to complete the task is a question.

"What are you going to do? No, what are you going to do?" Ada asked, clenching her fists. A minute ago she wanted to use her fists to give Snape a pair of sunglasses.

Not knowing whether he didn't like the faint fragrance of Ada or was not used to being so close to others, Snape frowned and took two steps back.

"You are no longer a student of Hogwarts." Snape said calmly, his black eyes like a bottomless pool without any ripples.

"What do you mean!" Ada asked again, "You still want to say it has nothing to do with me, right?"

Snape said: "Since you already understand, why bother asking again. Or maybe Miss Drizzt likes to be nosy lately."

You, you have left Hogwarts and are no longer a member of the Order of the Phoenix. You should no longer be involved in the affairs of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix, and you should no longer care about the decisions of Dumbledore and me.

This was Snape's implication.

Although the words were said euphemistically and did not directly drive the person away, the essence was no different from "doing your shit".

Ada still understands Snape, and of course she will not be easily angered by him to the point where one Buddha is born and two Buddhas ascend to heaven. At this moment, she even wanted to say something: Changxing has been in a bad market recently! He really thinks of himself as a prince!

If someone else had talked to Ada like this, her hands would have been stretched out. You could choose between a big neck and a big mouth, but Snape was different from others after all.

And Ada also knew that although he said so, he definitely didn't think so in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what beauty looked like.

If Dumbledore and Snape really parted ways with Ada, how could they tell her the clues about the Horcruxes and allow her to set foot in Hogwarts?

Ada turned around and walked back to her previous position step by step. She raised the chair that had fallen on the ground and said, "You might as well tell me what kind of tombstone Mr. Snape likes. After you die, maybe When I’m happy, I can even give you a piece.”

Isn’t it just irritating, isn’t it just that you don’t talk to people, making it look like no one can!

"When did the Ministry of Magic switch to selling tombstones?" Snape said, "Is there too many casualties?" Sometimes, no matter what he said, as long as his voice sounded, people would feel inexplicably annoying.

"If you change your career to selling shampoo, the Ministry of Magic won't change your career. We just happen to know each other." Ada said, "I suggest you and Dumbledore prepare one each. Anyway, you two will need it sooner or later, and the second monument is half the price. ."

Having said that, selfishly speaking, Ada did not hope that these two people could be used.

Snape was in his prime and strong, so he probably wouldn't need it in the short term. Although Dumbledore was older, he was still in good spirits. If it weren't for the injuries on his hands, his body would look stronger than even Ada's.

But all this changed with the appearance of an unbreakable oath. Because of the existence of the oath, only one of the two can survive.

Or Snape could find a way to kill Dumbledore and survive.

But the consequences of doing so are obvious. With the death of Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix will inevitably decline. Snape may also be tolerated by everyone and can only turn around and embrace the darkness again.

Either Snape does nothing, breaks his oath, and waits for the punishment to come.

The consequences are equally obvious. Snape, who broke his oath, will only die. Dumbledore will live on, and continue to lead the Order of the Phoenix to resist Voldemort's horrific tyranny.

Unless someone else succeeds in killing Dumbledore in Malfoy's place, Snape will not be punished for breaking his oath. But the probability of this happening is extremely low.

Dumbledore and Snape, this multiple-choice question is very simple. Leaders and spies, which one is more important, everyone can weigh it clearly.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix would choose Dumbledore without hesitation, and I'm afraid Snape's answer would be the same. What's more, given his extremely poor popularity, as long as the other choice is not Mundungus, no one will choose him.

If the Order of the Phoenix were to engage in team building and everyone would play games like Werewolf together, Snape would have no gaming experience. Either he was first stabbed by a werewolf, or he was voted out for no reason. There was no chance that he would survive until the second round.

After a few words of bickering and taunting each other for a long time, Ada suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She was afraid that she would never have a chance to quarrel with Snape again.

That's right, Ada's choice was Albus Dumbledore, and she didn't even have much hesitation. Snape was indeed the younger one, but he was far less important than Dumbledore.

Dumbledore could suppress Voldemort and gain the upper hand in the duel, but Snape could not; Dumbledore could lead the Order of the Phoenix and unite all the members around him, but Snape still could not do it. Sirius and Harry were the first and second against him.

In this current situation, abandoning the car to keep the coach seems to be the most appropriate choice. Chess players usually use this trick to recover from disadvantages.
