A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 580
Dumbledore handed the confused Umbridge to the Auror of Hogsmeade village. She was very roughly excavated by Voldemort for her recent memory. Now her mind is not very clear, and she may even have sequelae.

Then he took some time to reassure the panic-stricken villagers of Hogsmeade village, "except for the wind and sand these two days, there will be no other impact." After that, he came to the Pig's Head Bar.

Aberforth sat by the door of the bar, tired and bruised.

"You shouldn't have run out, you're too badly injured—"

"Let me lie among the corpses?" Aberforth roared angrily, "Why don't you try?"

Dumbledore was slightly silent, "Okay, then I'll take you to St. Mungo's, you need to be treated."

"It's not a big problem, that bastard wanted to see me beg for mercy, but I didn't do what he wanted," Aberforth said gruffly, spitting bloody spit on the ground, "You came sooner than I thought .”

But Dumbledore insisted on taking him to the hospital.In St. Mungo's, Dumbledore took the time to chat with the portrait of Dai Lisi De Wente.Dai Lisi Deventer was the headmaster of Hogwarts and also served as the therapist of St. Mungo. She is a well-known wizard and has portraits in many wizarding institutions.

"The Ministry of Magic is very busy, those dark wizards completely disregarded the secrecy law, and directly blasted a big hole through the welcome entrance—" the old witch with long curly silver hair said incessantly.

"The red phone booth?" Dumbledore interrupted her.

"Yeah, a lot of Muggles have seen it," said Dai Lisi angrily. "The Ministry of Magic will be busy with this matter for a long time. I don't want to delay the trial of the Wizengamot because of this, the Ministry seized A lot of dark wizards," she added.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Probably not so soon, the trial at war last time lasted a long time. But our new minister is all right, she'll take care of it...how's the situation at school, Minerva Pai Patronus told me something, and I want to know the latest progress."

"Oh, they're really getting more and more capable, those little guys!" Dai Lisi said with great interest, "It really opened my eyes, they don't seem to want to rest assured to wait for the support of the Ministry of Magic, but to solve the problem by themselves — they even formed a reinforcements out of the school to help the nearby Hogsmeade village deal with the Inferi and Dementors around them. Exciting!"

"Minerva agrees?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"The objection is invalid, and the students are very enthusiastic..."

Ten minutes ago—

Felix, Harry, Sirius and others returned to school, and Ron, Neville and Fred trotted over.

"How's the situation?" Ron looked at the people who came back, "We found Avery on the road, he fell badly enough, we didn't dare to move him, and left him where he was, waiting for the professionals to deal with it .Where's Umbridge?"

"She ran," said Harry curtly.Ron stared, and Harry added: "But her plot failed, and Professor Haip appeared at the 'critical moment'—" He sneaked a glance, and Felix smiled at him, not refusing This rhetoric.

This made Harry very depressed.He hinted so clearly, but the professor still didn't respond, well, he planned to pull Ron and Hermione in private to help analyze.

"Okay, I got a small role, I see." Ron smacked his lips, and then he said with some excitement: "Neville just made an idea, which I think is pretty good. Do you want to hear it?" He looked looked at Harry, and looked at the others.

Everyone looked at Neville, and Neville said shyly, "There are quite a few infernal corpses and dementors outside, and some of them may have gone to the next-door Hogsmeade village. There are many wizarding families living nearby, not all of them. Can handle all these things…”

"You want to support Hogsmeade?" Harry said surprised, and Felix looked over, which was an interesting idea.Harry praised without hesitation: "Neville, your idea is very good, we can really help."

Neville shook his head, "I was just making a suggestion, Ron, Luna and the others helped to perfect the plan, especially Luna, she solved the problem of not having enough brooms—"

"Is she coming too?" Harry asked, looking in the direction of Hagrid's hut, and easily spotted Glop - he was too big, walking around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with the help of Glop Positioning, Harry faintly saw a few small dots around him, he tried his best to catch the yellow-haired person, and he found it, Luna was stroking the black winged horse-shaped creature——

"Thestrals?" He was both surprised and enlightened.

"Our broom has been robbed, and we have to use our brains to find a replacement." Fred said with a smile. Moody's magic eyes looked over, and he shrank his neck nervously. "Just kidding, Professor Moody, don't take it seriously!"

"I have to remind you," Felix interjected, "Your ideas are very good, but you have to get the school's approval first... The one who decides right now is Professor McGonagall." He ran over, with half of his hair loose, looking menacing.

"Uh..." Harry was stunned, and looked at Felix tentatively, "Will you speak for us, Professor?"

Felix blinked, "I'd love to be on your side, but... I have to maintain the relationship with my colleagues, so it's up to you to convince her." Harry stared at him dumbfounded.

In the end, Professor McGonagall was persuaded, but she strongly urged several professors to accompany her.Led by Sirius, Flitwick, Sprout, Tonks, the Longbottoms, and Emmeline Vance, more than thirty students rode brooms and Thestrals into the sky.

The students rushing out of the castle looked at these people like heroes and applauded enthusiastically.

Harry circled the sky on his own Firebolt, watching with excitement as students and professors set off from the brightly lit Hogwarts campus to Hogsmeade.Turning around, he saw Draco Malfoy in the crowd - he stayed at school, his eyes fixed on the sky.Harry saw unwillingness and jealousy in Malfoy's eyes, but unexpectedly he didn't hate this look, because he suddenly realized that Malfoy wanted to be a member of the broomstick support Hogsmeade.

Unwillingness and jealousy can also be called envy in other words.

Those who remained did their jobs.

Moody took care of the captured dark wizard, Madam Pomfrey treated the little wizard who was scratched by a necromancer or tripped over a stone, Kingsley returned to the Ministry of Magic, and Felix and Professor McGonagall stayed at the school to appease — ordering the students back to the safety of the castle, to be precise — they were so excited tonight that they seemed to want to party all night outside.

"We can move the kitchen outside until those people come back from Hogsmeade."

"Do you think they'll bring back some Honeydukes candy by the way?"

This idea was quickly suppressed by the dark forces on the campus headed by Professor McGonagall. Although the sky above Hogwarts was as bright as day, the outside of the castle was not safe. Maybe there was an infernal corpse or dementor hidden in a corner Strange.

They have to go through it carefully.

Later, Dumbledore returns to school.He checked with Moody, McGonagall, Felix, and Snape one by one, and the night gradually deepened.Snape was in his office, feeling the heat and pain in his arm, and stood up expressionlessly.

The Dark Lord was calling him.

……

"So you came to see me empty-handed, Severus?"

"Master, I have done everything I can. It wouldn't be better if I exposed myself." Snape lowered his head and said, "Please allow me to explain. I dare not hide anything." A ray of moonlight pierced through the broken The broken windows sprinkled on his body, making his face very pale against the background.

Voldemort sat in the dark, with no light around him, and the snake stick in his hand made a "hissing" sound.He had seen fragments of what Snape had done, from Umbridge's memory, but he was still filled with anger.

Snape waited for a moment, saw that Voldemort did not stop him, and then said:
"You asked me to play by ear, and I did: I provided Umbridge with the password of the headmaster's office at a critical moment, and then lured Potter away who rushed over. Then the army of ghouls broke in. Although Dumbledore Lido was not there, but McGonagall immediately exercised the rights of the vice-principal: summon the other three deans and all the professors. It would be too suspicious if I didn't show up. You know, I didn't gain much trust in the Order of the Phoenix. Too many people stare at me.

Sirius Black and I are enemies, and I don't have much friendship with Minerva McGonagall. Harry Potter and his friends are even more hostile to me. Potter has the original Marauder's Map in his hand , even if you tell me how to hide myself, but I can't do it easily, it will arouse even greater suspicion.

I have a teacher-student relationship with Felix Hemp, but the last time I took the liberty to inquire about the information on the crown, it may have consumed some of my trust. As for Dumbledore, he never puts secrets in one basket, just like he did this time Secretly arranging members of the Order of the Phoenix to enter the school... He must have sensed something, but I have no idea.

I even feigned a mistake to stop Potter when he tried to catch Umbridge, but Felix Hemp suddenly appeared and derailed the plan.

After Dumbledore came back, he took the locket and the crown away, and I didn't have any chance to intervene. "

Snape recounted the incident, and at this point he frowned suddenly, "There is something very strange, I don't know if I have been exposed: I once hinted to Umbridge that I was a spy, but She was caught by Dumbledore. In case she confesses anything—”

"Don't worry, I've messed with her mind." Voldemort's high, clear voice came through the darkness.

"Felix Heap is a master of memory..." Snape reminded.

Voldemort sneered a few times.

"If they investigate, they'll find that Umbridge has identified a whole host of spies, and you're just one of them. You didn't tell Avery who you were, did you?"

"No. I've been cautious," Snape said.

"That's not safe," Voldemort stood up and paced the empty room. "Is he in St. Mungo's now?" Snape nodded and said, "Avery is seriously injured, it seems to have hurt his head, and he is still alive for the time being." Didn't wake up."

"Then don't wake up," said Voldemort murderously.The "hissing" sound of the snake stick became louder, as if there were hundreds of snakes hiding in the room.

"Master? You still want me to go back to school?" Snape asked in a low voice, showing a hint of dissatisfaction just right.

"You don't want to, Severus?" Voldemort asked softly.He came, bathed in the moonlight, his bare pale skin seemed to glow.In that serpentine face, a pair of red eyes stared at Snape.

"No - of course - not -" Snape stammered, "I thought - this time I could - could come back - to join the Death Eaters."

Voldemort watched him for a moment in silence.

"Are you tired of years of undercover work?" he said unhurriedly, twirling his staff with his fingers, "I need you to do one last thing for me, Severus. After that, you can return to the Death Eater family."

Snape looked up excitedly, then lowered his head again, "Thank you, Master. I am willing to serve you, just like I did ten years ago."

"Very well. Dumbledore and I agreed to a duel, and there must be a death...but I didn't set a specific time, do you know why?"

"I don't know, Master," said Snape.

"How is the wound on Dumbledore's hand?" Voldemort suddenly changed the subject.

"He suppressed the injury to his right hand, and needed to take potions every once in a while. I've never seen such a powerful magic, stronger than any curse, and most people would die long ago—"

"I have faith in my magic," said Voldemort, and Snape shut up.

After a long time, Voldemort said: "Weaken Dumbledore as much as possible, Severus, but don't kill him, I want to see him fall in front of me. Your talent in potions is unmatched , I believe you can do things without anyone noticing."

"But it's possible that Dumbledore could sense..."

"It will be too late then, Severus. You have already retired, and I will return all the glory that belongs to you. So be bold, Severus, and I will wait for your good news."

……

"Voldemort is ready to give up on you."

said Dumbledore in a low voice, and Snape stared at him.It was already early morning, but Dumbledore showed no signs of falling asleep. He was neatly dressed, sitting at his desk, playing with a black gemstone ring in his hand.

"He wasn't sure if Umbridge would leak the secret. Those words were just to comfort you. I guess he has other tasks for you? And it's time-sensitive?"

"He asked me to poison you," said Snape coldly, "the sooner the better."

Dumbledore smiled.

"Ah, that's it. This may be the biggest risk tonight. When Voldemort left, he had a bad temper. He hasn't been in a good mood recently...I've been worried that he will take your anger out on you."

　　[Here, let me explain whether the Flying Curse can work on Horcruxes:]

　　Examples that can be referred to in the original work are as follows:

　　1. The original text never directly said 'Horcruxes are immune to the Flying Curse'. The trio failed to summon several times because of the special environment, such as the cave where the locket is hidden (the Horcrux is even a fake), the ancient spirit Pavilion, Room of Response;
　　(The original book would rather describe it as '(The House of Requirement) refuses to hand over its collections easily' than directly say that the Flying Curse does not work on Horcruxes);
　　2. The trio has been using the Flying Curse to summon Horcruxes from the beginning to the end. Even after holding the locket for a period of time, they did not give up the Flying Spell. Maybe it indirectly shows that the Flying Spell is useful?

　　3. I mistakenly thought that the movie had adapted this passage, but I found out later: In the movie, when the trio went to Gringotts to find the gold cup, what Ron said that kind of magic won't work in here. The literal translation is 'That kind of magic doesn't work here (referring to the vault)', not the Chinese translation "that kind of spell doesn't work on Horcruxes".

　　4. In addition to Voldemort, as the two people who know Horcruxes best in the original book: Dumbledore and Hermione, neither of them explicitly opposed the use of the Flying Curse, and the latter Hermione tried to use the Flying Curse to summon Horcruxes many times.

　　[To sum up, I don't think the Horcrux itself has the attribute of being immune to the Flying Curse, but a protective spell can be added to prevent the Flying Curse, but this additional spell can be lifted. 】
