Chapter 656 Severus Snape

The crescent moon was like a hook, long past its zenith, and Ada and Snape returned to the courtyard.

No one mentioned the temptation just now, as if the name Lily had never appeared tonight.

Snape had mixed emotions. He finally suppressed the pain in his heart. When he looked up, he saw Ada's fair face and her big eyes. The ace undercover was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

Severus Snape's character collapsed at this moment, and his enigmatic image no longer existed.

Even if Snape wanted to make some venomous remarks to regain the lost situation, Ada, who was used to being shameless and shameless, would not accept this trick. A big weapon like deducting points is even more ineffective. Not to mention Ada's concern, Snape doesn't have the power to deduct points now.

That power now belongs to Professor Black, Gryffindor.

One month into the school year, Slytherin House's scores were firmly at the bottom, and it was likely to remain so until the end of the school year.

It's not that Sirius deducted points severely, but mainly because without Snape's support, Slytherin House had too many enemies, which made their 97-98 school year become "in dire straits."

In the courtyard, Ada, who was covered in starlight, asked: "How did Professor Dumbledore arrange it?"

"Harry, like Nagini, is also one of the Horcruxes." Snape said, "This was an accident, so the Dark Lord himself didn't know that Harry was also a Horcrux."

Ada nodded. This was consistent with her guess. Harry had unintentionally become Voldemort's Horcrux.

That night, Lily's Passive Resistance Charm protected the young Harry from death.

After the rebounding curse hit Voldemort, although it failed to kill the Dark Lord, it successfully damaged his body and forcibly divided his already incomplete soul.

This is a very troublesome thing, a troublesome thing that makes people can't help but spit out the fragrance.

The relics of the four giants that were made into Horcruxes can be destroyed. In the final analysis, they are just dead objects, but it is the greatness and magic of the four giants that give them a different meaning. Nagini, who was made into a Horcrux, can also be destroyed. It is a ferocious snake, and it is not a human being. Just chop it down.

But Harry is different. He is a human being and an acquaintance. Ada is not cold-blooded enough to easily raise a butcher knife against her friends and chop them off at will.

Ada rubbed her fingers so hard that her fingertips almost turned red. She frowned and said, "You don't want to tell me because you are afraid that I will kill him now?"

"Yes, you will hesitate, but you will definitely do it in the end." Snape said in a serious tone, "However, Potter cannot die in your hands. Potter must be done by the Dark Lord himself, and only the Dark Lord. Only by destroying the soul fragments in his body.”

As he spoke, Snape suddenly laughed, his laughter getting louder and louder, and a chill that did not belong to the autumn night spread in the courtyard.

Ada couldn't help but feel desolate.

I heard Snape's voice continue sadly: "I always thought that I was protecting him all these years, protecting Lily's son from growing up, but what happened! I protected him... just to let him die at the right time. !”

"I thought you could accept this result."

Ada's words were cold. From the day Snape learned about Dumbledore's plan to tonight, such a long time had passed, and Ada thought he had been able to face the result calmly.

"Just because I will implement Dumbledore's plan doesn't mean I can accept it!" Snape said excitedly, "The person I protect is Lily's son, not a pig to be slaughtered!"

Tonight was the first time Ada had seen Snape so excited, so arrogant. Ada underestimated Snape's feelings for Lily and also underestimated his feelings for Harry.

This feeling is undoubtedly contradictory and complicated. With a face similar to his father James, and eyes exactly like his mother Lily, Harry's presence reminded Snape all the time that Lily was married to the annoying James Potter, and Lily was dead.

What kind of mixed feelings will Snape have when he sees Harry again in 1991?

Ada couldn't imagine it.

"I know it's cruel to say this, but if there is no other way..." Ada said this in a tactful tone as much as possible, "He has only one way to die."

People die every day in this world, people die all the time, why can't this person be Harry Potter. Ada's personality prevented her from saying such a thing, and she didn't have to.

"I know, I know." Snape murmured, looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, dazed.

Although he also wanted to protect Lily's son, nothing was more important than destroying Voldemort. For sixteen long years, more than five thousand long days and nights, Snape had been waiting for the moment of revenge.

After a while, Snape adjusted his bad state, and his complexion and emotion returned to normal. Snape turned around, his dark eyes becoming dark again.

Snape kept Lily's name deep in his heart and put Harry aside for the time being.

He said: "So, you are planning to move forward with your plan?"

"That's right. If possible, I hope to end this war as soon as possible." Ada replied, "I am tired of seeing a list of the missing and a list of the dead on the table every day when I open my eyes."

War is the highest form of struggle and the most violent means of settling disputes. War is ruthless and cruel, and it lasts forever. No one can tell what will happen tomorrow.

Ada didn't want to continue living like this, let alone see her familiar names on these two lists.

"The plan is about to begin. If what I predict is correct, the Dark Lord will take action. His impatience is our opportunity." Ada continued, "I need to grasp his dynamics and adapt accordingly."

Voldemort once lived in Malfoy Manor, and he should have known about the destruction of the diary for a long time, but he was not impatient because there were other Horcruxes to back it up.

Now that the rings, gold cups, lockets, and crowns have been destroyed one after another, if Voldemort knew about these situations, he would probably choose to make a desperate move and advance the decisive battle.

This is exactly what Ada wants to see.

Whether they are Death Eaters, dark wizards, or dark creatures, they may be powerful, but after all they are a ragtag group of people, and the scene of the decisive battle will definitely be chaotic.

Chaos is opportunity, both an opportunity to deal with Nagini and an opportunity to kill Voldemort. Ada is confident of defeating the mortal Tom Riddle.

"You still have to be prepared," Snape said. "Your attempt to sow discord is not clever. Voldemort will not doubt Bellatrix's loyalty. Moreover, the purpose of your plan is too obvious. He may also Hiding yourself deeper.”

There is another possibility that Snape did not say, that is, in order to maintain his "immortality", Voldemort continued to slice his soul into new Horcruxes.

However, Ada felt that this was unlikely.

Even in the magical world, cutting a soul is against the rules, and there will definitely be a heavy price to pay.

Voldemort's soul has been divided into eight parts. If it is cut again...will his soul really not escape along his nostrils?

As for alienating Bellatrix, Ada has no such idea. Voldemort didn't trust anyone from the bottom of his heart, and alienation had no effect on him.

Ada pretended to be profound and said: "Whether he fights or flees, we will know soon. I hope he won't delay for too long. The longer he delays, the lower his chance of winning."

"I understand. I will pass on the information about Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and Harry Potter to you as soon as possible."

Snape nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, he walked out without looking back.

"Professor!" Ada shouted after him, "The dawn is coming. Before that, no matter how dark the world is, you cannot fall!"

Hearing this, Snape stopped and did not look back. He just said calmly: "Don't meddle in other people's business."
