Chapter 425: Snape's Defection, Eleanor Prewett

"Severus, it seems that you are not having a good time under the dark magic." Dumbledore teased, looking at the pale-faced Snape.

"The Dark Lord is coming, and he will kill Lily." Snape's eyes were filled with mixed emotions, regret, worry, fear...

"The prophecy..." Dumbledore immediately thought of the reason, "But the prophecy is not about a woman, but a boy born in July."

“Yes, but he thinks it’s her son and he’ll go after them!

Hide them, hide them, please." Snape used the brain block technique to suppress all emotions, leaving only... begging.

"So what will you give me in return, Severus?" Dumbledore walked towards him, the glow of the Unbreakable Curse gleaming on his hand.

"Everything." Snape stretched out his hand and held it. The thread of flame flowed in the hands of the two men. Dumbledore completed the spell alone, which originally required three people to cast.

This silent transaction was hidden in the cover of night. Even Senior Tom himself did not expect that his most promising junior had already defected.

.....

The riots in the wizarding world are still going on, but the storm never affects the eighth floor of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries.

After a busy day, Eleanor Prewett left the Department of Mysteries with the child who came into her life four months ago.

From then on, her life was not limited to the study of magic, but of course she also had to spend time taking care of the little guy.

However, perhaps because she was obsessed with research on the deep world when she was pregnant with him, the child is still asleep. Therefore, Eleanor Prewett had to ask her best friend to help prepare the potion so that the sleeping little guy could absorb nutrients normally.

"Hey, Eleanor, is this your child?" A large group of silent young ladies came towards them, looking at the child in Eleanor's arms curiously.

"Although his eyes look like Gideon, which is not good, his looks must be like mine. I have a feeling that he will be a great beauty when he grows up." Eleanor boasted to the Silent ladies in front of her.

"That's great, I also want such a cute child.", "Slurp, a replica of Eleanor.", "I'll catch him when he grows up.".....

"Hmph, don't even think about it, you little sluts." Eleanor hid the baby in her arms.

"Cough cough." A cough was heard, but it sounded like there was some inexplicable messy aura surging.

"Ah, the director is here.", "Run!"...

All the silent ladies who had just gathered around Eleanor ran away, revealing an old fox in a white and gold robe walking towards her.

"Good afternoon, Director." Eleanor greeted him.

"Well~, good afternoon, Miss Prewett."

The director's words sounded strange, but Eleanor didn't have time to think about it, so he continued to speak.

"Is this your son? He seems to be a very noisy little guy." There was some kindness in the director's eyes, but more of it was meaningful.

"Well, I actually hope he would be more noisy, it's all because of me..." Eleanor looked depressed.

"Relax, the little guy will be healthy soon." The director said comfortingly.

"Thank you for your blessing." Eleanor nodded.

"By the way, about the Prewett family..." The director glanced at the jewel earrings on Eleanor's earlobes, was distracted for a moment, and finally did not say what he wanted to say.

"It's nothing. I'll give you a vacation during this period. After all, your research has affected your children. You should spend some time with them." The director waved his hand and approved Eleanor a full seven months of paid vacation.

"Wow, that's great. Thank you, Director." Eleanor excitedly accepted the vacation and left the Department of Mysteries happily.

Before returning to the old Prewett house in Biberil Village, Eleanor had to take her son to Godric's Hollow.

Lily had written to Eleanor to tell her that the medicine she had ordered was ready and asked Eleanor to take some time to pick it up. So she brought her son to visit and meet Lily's son.

knock knock.

Eleanor knocked on the Potter family's door, and when the door opened, a witch with long fiery red hair poked her head out.

"Eleanor!" Lily wanted to give her a hug excitedly, but when she noticed the child in Eleanor's arms, she stopped leaning forward.

"Come in." Lily took Eleanor into the room and took the baby from her arms and put it in her own child's crib.

At this time, little Harry, who still had no scar on his head, looked at the new toy in front of him and decisively chose to pull his little toy. Fortunately, the sharp-eyed Lily discovered it in time, otherwise the baby's chastity would be lost.

"Well, did you record it?" Rada glanced at Arthur who was fiddling with her monocle nearby.

Arthursi didn't say anything, but just turned around and gave her a thumbs up.

Just as the two mothers were chatting, the door was opened again. This time, in came Lily's husband, James Potter, and his three good friends, the Marauder Trio.

"Oh, Eleanor is here too." James came in and paused slightly when he saw Eleanor sitting with his wife.

"Haha, Eleanor, do you want to stay for dinner with us?" Sirius next to her was not polite at all, acting as if he was at home.

"No need. I'll come and get the potion. After all, you know the child's physical condition." Eleanor sighed.

"But, he hasn't been named yet? He's already four months old." As a reliable adult, Lupin's focus is naturally different from others.

"It's all because of that idiot Gideon. It's such an important moment." Eleanor pouted angrily.

"Well, he also wants to fight against the mysterious man." Lily reached out and smoothed Eleanor's frown.

Then she took out a cloth bag from behind. Judging from the magical fluctuations emanating from it, it should be an alchemical tool. Anyone with a sharp eye could spot the Pwett family emblem engraved on the lock of the cloth bag.

"This is the potion I made for you. It should be enough for you to use for several months." Lily handed the cloth bag to Eleanor.

"Haha, I love you so much, Lily." Eleanor gave her a hug.

Without staying any longer, Eleanor took the cloth bag Lily gave her, picked up the child and prepared to leave.

"Oh, by the way, I would like to invite you to my house for dinner next week." Before leaving, Eleanor extended an invitation to the Potter family.

"Of course..." Lily was about to agree, but was interrupted by James.

"I'm sorry, Eleanor, because of some things in the Order of the Phoenix, we may have to carry out a special mission later, so I'm sorry." James declined tactfully.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back. Remember to notify me as soon as possible." Eleanor winked at Lily, then Apparated and disappeared.
