Chapter 149 The price of the ingredients for the joy potion will increase again

Since Dumbledore has decided to take action himself, Snape naturally has nothing to worry about.

Snape had enough confidence in the greatest white wizard of the twentieth century.

Although...Dumbledore is a bit of a cheat.

But just get used to it.

"Have you discovered the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality?" Snape asked expectantly.

The "vast" operation of the Ministry of Magic to search for dark magic items had spread throughout the British wizarding world as early as a month ago.

Alarming the snake had been successful, and Dumbledore kept staring. Snape felt that Dumbledore should have gained something.

"terribly sorry!"

Dumbledore said helplessly: "I found nothing."

Snape: Can I kill him?

"Lucius is very cautious. He sells a lot of dark magic items in Knockturn Alley, but there is nothing I want here."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore was also a little skeptical.

Perhaps Voldemort did not create the Horcruxes, or perhaps Voldemort gave the Horcruxes to other Death Eaters for safekeeping.

Bellatrix Lestrange!

The craziest Death Eater.

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly, and he analyzed secretly in his mind, "If Voldemort didn't create a Horcrux, what is the secret of his immortality? If he created a Horcrux, where would he hide it?"

Snape frowned and said, "Maybe you thought wrong from the beginning."

Dumbledore frowned and said nothing.

The method of making Horcruxes is recorded in the book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed". And Voldemort is a crazy worshiper of black magic. If he wants to prevent death, he cannot think of Horcruxes.

Of all Dumbledore's suspicions, Horcruxes were at the top of the list.

Once Voldemort created a Horcrux, he would most likely hand it over to Death Eaters loyal to him for safekeeping.

After all, Voldemort is not Andy, and he cannot put the Horcrux on a Muggle rocket and launch it into outer space.

"The Ministry of Magic's operation is not over yet. I will continue to keep an eye on Lucius."

Dumbledore said a little tiredly: "If I really guessed wrong, try another method!"

Maybe Voldemort's Horcrux was placed with Bellatrix, but Dumbledore would not release this crazy Death Eater.

That's too dangerous!

Snape was silent for a moment, feeling once again that Dumbledore was unreliable.

He trusted Dumbledore so much back then that he placed Lily's safety on Dumbledore.

The results of it?

Lily is dead!

But now, Snape has no other choice but to continue to trust Dumbledore.

"You'd better be careful."

Snape reminded: "I know Lucius, he will not let it go easily."

"Ah! Thank you for the reminder." Dumbledore nodded, as if he was truly grateful for Snape's reminder.

The veins on Snape's forehead were bulging.

If the strength gap between the two hadn't been too big, he would have taken out his wand and dueled Dumbledore long ago.

After giving Dumbledore a deep look, Snape turned and left.

It is foreseeable that the price of the materials for the joy potion may increase again in the recent period.

…

Back in the office, Snape couldn't catch his breath for quite a while.

In fact, Dumbledore is a trustworthy person in every aspect.

It's just that his reputation is so great and his strength is so strong that many people deify Dumbledore.

But he is only human!

Dumbledore is not omnipotent and he makes mistakes.

Thinking of this, Snape felt a little better.

Thump thump thump!

There was a knock on the door, Snape waved his wand, and the office door opened automatically.

"Professor Snape, hello..."

Filch stood at the door with some restraint, "Here is a letter from you...because your office is in the basement, so..."

Snape stood up and walked to the door. Filch quickly handed the letter to Snape and said hurriedly: "Then I'll leave first."

Snape closed the door and glanced down at the signature on the envelope.

Andy Collins!

Why would this guy write to me?

The veins on Snape's forehead bulged again. He always felt that Andy would not do anything good when he came to him.

After sitting on the chair and hesitating for a long time, Snape decided to read the content of the letter first.

Snape swore that if Andy dared to mention anything about the 'Upside Down Golden Bell' in his letter, or introduce his aunt to him, he would tear Andy alive next semester.

Open the envelope...

Snape's face gradually became serious.

More than?

The Malfoy house elf preventing Harry from returning to Hogwarts?

Is Hogwarts in danger next semester?

Andy's letter didn't contain much content. It mainly asked if Dobby was the house elf of the Malfoy family, and at the same time gave a general explanation of what happened to Harry.

On top of that, Dobby tells Harry that Hogwarts will be in danger next term.

Andy is not like Harry or Ron. They just rush into things when something happens.

As a student at Hogwarts, isn't it normal practice to approach a teacher when you encounter difficulties?

Snape's eyes flickered.

What happened to Dobby must not have been ordered by Lucius, and Draco wouldn't be so boring.

But... would a house elf act on his own without the order of his master?

If this is true...

That means Dumbledore's action was successful, but Lucius Malfoy wanted to send the dark magic items left by Voldemort to Hogwarts.

A house elf who worships Harry Potter?

Snape frowned in thought.

One thing is for sure, Lucius Malfoy will definitely find a way to get revenge on Dumbledore after he suffered such a big loss.

Sending the dark magic items left by Voldemort to Hogwarts is indeed very similar to Lucius' method.

In this way...

Snape stood up quickly.

No matter how much he didn't want to see Dumbledore, he had to report this matter to Dumbledore.

Principal's office.

Dumbledore placed Andy's letter on his desk, and his whole expression relaxed a lot for a moment.

This operation was successful!

"It seems that Collins is much more reliable than you." Snape directly started the venomous tongue mode.

"He did provide us with a very important piece of evidence!" Dumbledore did not refute.

He was not afraid of Lucius making small moves, but he was afraid that he would remain motionless.

"What on earth is that?" Snape asked intently.

"Perhaps...we will know what Voldemort left behind only when we see him." Dumbledore did not answer directly.

Dumbledore would never reveal the Horcrux matter easily.

Think about it, you can easily prevent death by just killing a person and splitting your soul.

How simple!
