Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 356 Letters
Wiltshire, England.

Malfoy Manor is a stately manor house surrounded by elaborate gardens, with fountains and free-roaming white peacocks, giving visitors the feeling of walking through smoke as they pass through the wrought-iron gates.

However, such a beautiful manor, now there is a kind of gloomy atmosphere hovering in it, which cannot be dissipated.

Just as humans are regarded as animals, wizards are also considered magical creatures, but unlike other magical animals, wizards' wisdom and learning ability are far from comparable to those of magical animals. The means possessed by wizards are naturally not magical animals. Comparable.

Especially the one staying here at this moment is one of the two peaks in the magic world.

There was a blazing flame burning in the luxurious fireplace, and the swaying firelight caused the chandelier to reflect a strange light, causing a deathly silence around a long dark table.

"Among you, can anyone tell me why my treasure was taken away?"

This voice rang out, breaking the silence. After these words came out, several Death Eaters sitting here couldn't help but tremble, as if a cold snake had wiped its neck with its letter.

These words were not loud, but after the hoarse voice was uttered, there seemed to be an indescribable magic power, and everyone fell silent for a moment!
"Hahaha! It seems that you don't know it!" Voldemort was as round as a snake, and his pale face with nose and nose looked hideous and terrifying even when he smiled.

He stood up suddenly, his slender and tall figure made him seem to exude a strong power, as his scarlet eyes glanced, the Death Eaters sitting here couldn't help trembling, forcibly enduring their fear.

"Perhaps... Maybe there are spies among the people present." At this moment, a cold and sarcastic voice suddenly broke the strange silence.

"Oh? Severus, is this your guess?" Voldemort asked with a grin as he stroked the dark tabletop with his palm, which was much longer than ordinary fingers, tapping his five fingers briskly.

Severus Snape was seated next to Voldemort's right hand, which not only showed that he was relied on by Voldemort, but also reflected his strength, otherwise he would not be able to sit securely here.

Snape looked tall and strong, even if he was just sitting there, it was very obvious. The dark black wizard robe covered his body, matching with his stern face, it set off the mysterious wizard robe slightly. Look serious.

"I think he is a spy! Otherwise, why did he come here suddenly when Gringotts was attacked? And brought news of the Elder Wand?!"

Before Severus Snape could speak, crazy and vicious voices suddenly sounded from the side.

Suffering such a 'false accusation', Snape looked indifferent, turned his head slightly and glanced at the woman who spoke.

Facing Snape's sideways gaze, this haggard and pale middle-aged woman with an extraordinarily crazy temperament immediately looked at him with sharp knife-like eyes, and her pale teeth were exposed at the corners of her slightly parted lips, as if A devil who wants to drink blood.

"Bellatrix, although the treasure stolen this time is in your treasury, so far no one has blamed you, not even the Dark Lord." Snape kept his indifferent expression all the time, like a Ice, even the words he spit out seemed cold.

"Lestrange, any speculation needs to be supported by evidence. Of course, Snape, I have always admired you." Voldemort glanced at Bellatrix Lestrange with a warning look, Then he spoke reassuringly to Snape.

"Yeah." Snape responded with a light nod, not as fearful as other Death Eaters. Perhaps it was for this reason that he was always trusted and relied on by Voldemort.

Voldemort took a deep look at Snape, then glanced at the other Death Eater followers, raised his arms and raised the wide sleeves of his robes, surging magic power swept out, sweeping the scene like a hurricane, leaving only the wizard robes Severus Snape dressed like a priest.

Seeing this scene, Snape's dark eyes trembled for a moment, but then he stabilized and waited quietly for Voldemort to explain his intention to keep him.

Voldemort walked slowly around the conference table with his robe in his hands, with a hint of longing in his expression, which made his hideous and terrifying face look a little peaceful.

But this tranquility didn't last long, and it was broken immediately, the yearning expression gradually turned into greedy desire, and the sense of being bound to gain grew in his scarlet eyes.

"Snape, are you sure the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands?" Voldemort's hoarse voice was filled with impatience, but he finally endured it, but the burning heat in his scarlet eyes couldn't be concealed .

Hearing that he was asking about this matter, Snape secretly relaxed in his heart, then frowned and showed a hesitant look.

"Why? Can't it be confirmed?" Voldemort immediately asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Snape looked at Voldemort, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Dumbledore didn't trust me, and he was so guarded against me. When I found the Elder Wand by accident, I never saw it again. Pass."

"Oh? That means you can't be sure that the Elder Wand is still in Dumbledore's hands?" Voldemort narrowed his eyes, the scarlet eyes flickering with divine light, and asked in a low and soft tone.

"That's it." Snape silently nodded his head like a deep and quiet stagnant water.

"Dumbledore, this old and immortal guy! Huh!" Voldemort suddenly twisted his body, and the majestic magic bombarded out wantonly. The invisible turbulence instantly turned into a sharp blade, and the luxurious sculptures, hangings and other accessories were blown away. Everything was destroyed instantly and turned into a mess!
Looking at Voldemort's thin back, Snape frowned slightly, and held the wand tightly with his wide and warm palms in his sleeves. His eyes were tangled and hesitant, but he soon returned to his calm and watery posture.

"I heard that Dumbledore gave you the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Is that true, Severus?" Voldemort calmed down his anger, turned around and looked at Snape with a slightly complicated expression.

In fact, no matter how angry he is, it will not help. Although Dumbledore is old, his peak is long gone, and his reaction speed has slowed down when his magic power drops, he still cannot be underestimated. In the battle at the Ministry of Magic, although he was almost suppressed Dumbledore was defeated, but going one step further would be to defeat him, but it was impossible to remove him.

As for sending Draco Malfoy to assassinate Dumbledore, it was purely his punishment for the old Malfoy's unfavorable performance.

"Yeah." Snape nodded.

"Hehe! It's not easy to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, you have to be careful." The corners of Voldemort's mouth curled up slightly, his chin lifted slightly, and a look of pride floated on his face.

'The curse really exists? ' Snape looked at Voldemort's figure, thoughtful from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord Dark Lord, I can't stay away from Hogwarts for long." Snape bowed and said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Voldemort nodded lightly, squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, and said with deep meaning: "Severus, Hogwarts is the future of the wizarding world. After I rule the wizarding world, you will be Hogwarts." Greatest principal ever!"

Snape was shocked for a moment, and after expressing his thanks with a moving expression, he left Malfoy Manor.

Watching the disappearance of Snape, Voldemort looked sideways to the dark corner, from which Bellatrix Lestrange emerged.

"Snape can't be trusted! It's no coincidence!" Bellatrix Lestrange said gravely.

"Oh? Don't you think the unbreakable oath can't bind him?" Voldemort laughed hoarsely, and said proudly: "Even though Snape is an excellent pure-blood wizard, the ancient curse can withstand the ravages of time." The test has been passed down to this day, and it has been proved that it has the nature of 'immortality', such an existence is always extraordinary, and even I cannot break the curse."

"But we all know that oath is a joke!" Bellatrix Lestrange frowned and said sharply: "Little Malfoy failed to assassinate Dumbledore, and neither did Snape." in this way!"

"But there is no evidence for your suspicion, Bella." Voldemort was a little impatient, and waved his hand: "If you still insist on this, then find evidence, and also, get rid of those two Death Eaters directly. Now is not the time to speculate."

After saying this, Voldemort stepped into the fireplace with his robe in hand, and disappeared without a trace in the dark green flames.

Bellatrix Lestrange, who stayed where she was, looked gloomy and uncertain. At this time, Kreacher, the house-elf of the Black family, appeared flickeringly. Looking at the mess, she immediately cast her magic power to levitate it up, and then Under the action of magic, it was like going back in time, and soon these ornaments destroyed by Voldemort's vent were restored as before.

After finishing this task, Kreacher leaned towards Bellatrix Lestrange with bright eyes, as if begging for praise from his master.

However, what he ushered in was completely different from praise.

boom!
"Get the hell out of here! You dirty old thing!"

Bellatrix Lestrange was about to vent, Kreacher came to her side, kicked her up immediately, kicked her down mercilessly, and walked away vigorously Got here.

Kreacher clutched his chest and coughed violently. He stood up and looked sadly at Bellatrix's retreating figure. His thin and slender figure was full of loneliness and pain.

……

Hogwarts.

The owl, who was a postman in the wizarding world, walked along the castle wall, got inside, spread out familiarly, and flew towards the positions of the little wizards and professors in the castle.

The gatekeeper of the school, Mr. Argus Filch, held his cat named Mrs. Norris, and kept a close eye on the little wizards as usual. Whenever a little wizard violated the school rules, he would immediately report to the professors, and let the professors punish them. make punishment.

For a Squib born of a wizard, that was the most pleasing thing he could do.

Although the famous Auror disappointed him a little, he had experienced too many disappointments, so he was only lost for a short time, then he calmed down again, continued his previous work, and never tired of it.

Fluttering! ~
At this moment, an owl suddenly flew over his head, startled Mrs. Luo Lisi who was in his arms broke free from her embrace, and quickly ran out.

"Hey! Please keep order! Otherwise..." Filch shouted and jumped around to direct the owls, but was suddenly slapped on the face by something.

"Damn it! You can't see it right..." He took off the things on his face, gritted his yellow teeth and yelled violently, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he stuffed the envelope in his hand directly into his arms.

"What are you hiding, Mr. Filch?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded from the side. Filch stiffened his neck and turned his head to look sideways. The cute first-year wizard looked at Filch curiously. His big juicy eyes seemed to be able to soften people's hearts.

"What are you hiding? It's mine!" Filch was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, made a frightening expression on purpose, and glared at the little witch viciously.

"Hehe! Yes, I believe Mr. Filch." The little witch blinked her watery eyes, and suddenly grinned, showing her teeth with braces, and then she waved at the 'little wizard's enemy' Filch. Waved and politely said: "See you later, Mr. Filch!"

The ringing laughter ran away, leaving behind Argus Filch who was a little confused. He held the letter hidden in his clothes, slowly took it out and looked down, then took a deep breath and opened it. The envelope, the words that caught his eye conveyed bad news as usual, but for some reason, he just shrugged his shoulders. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't have much resentment anymore.

At the same time, Gao Feng also received a letter. The signature on the letter was very clear, that is to say, there was no such dazzling swashbuckling text, but only simple and clear characters.

"Let me see, who sent you the letter?" At this time, a white palm stretched out from the side and snatched the letter from him, "Huh? It turned out to be Old Tom?"

"I asked him to do me a little favor." Gao Feng said with a smile, and took the letter unobtrusively, only to see that the envelope was signed 'Sincerely, Old Tom from the Leaky Cauldron', some awkward words, but It is enough to express the respect and flattery of the person who wrote the letter.

"What can he help you with?" Tonks raised his eyebrows, rubbed his sore mouth, and asked casually.

"We'll talk about it later." Gao Feng put aside the letter casually. Although he hadn't opened it yet, he had already guessed the content. He couldn't help but feel happy. He directly took Tonks who was lying on his lap into his arms and turned over. And rise.

"Ah! Slow down! Slow down!~" Tonks exclaimed, pushing and shoving in refusal, but soon couldn't help making a soft and coquettish hum.

The soft goose down quilt was pushed aside, the two figures were entangled together, and the atmosphere gradually became intense.
