The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Following her movements, almost everyone's eyes in the classroom focused on her.

One Gryffindor boy even cut his hand because he was so excited.

Umbridge clearly enjoyed the attention.

Therefore, she deliberately slowed down her pace until she was satisfied enough, then she smiled and said to Snape's back:

"Gee, this class looks like they've learned a lot. But I doubt it's advisable to teach them potions like Polyjuice Potion. I think the Ministry will want this removed from the curriculum."

Snape turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.

"Now...how long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?"

Umbridge continued to ask, picking up her notebook and quill at the same time, seemingly preparing to record it.

"14."

Snape said in an extremely cold voice.

There was no expression on his face when he spoke, and he didn't even move his lips.

It was as if the sound came directly from his throat.

Many people in the classroom are paying attention to the situation here, but unlike others who only dare to look at it secretly while their hands are still processing the potion materials at the same time.

Link and Emily immediately stopped what they were doing, smiling and watching intently.

This performance caused a slight distortion in the muscles on Snape's face, but he was unable to do so at this moment.

"You applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position first, right?"

Umbridge continued to ask without raising her head.

"That's right," Snape replied.

"But you didn't apply?"

Snape curled his lips when he heard this and said:

"Obvious."

puff-

A faint burst of suppressed laughter suddenly broke out from the crowd in the classroom.

Snape was about to turn around to look, but Umbridge followed up and asked:

"Have you applied for Defense Against the Dark Arts courses many times since you entered school?"

Hearing this, Snape had to force his head back and said:

"Yes."

"Do you know why Dumbledore has always refused to let you be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

"I suggest you ask Dumbledore himself this question."

"Ah, of course I will ask." Umbridge said with a smile, "But I still want to hear your thoughts. For example, why do you think Dumbledore didn't let you be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Is it because of your incompetence? Or, is it because of your past background as a Death Eater?"

"I refuse to answer that question!"

Snape said every word.

His originally calm expression had become distorted. This was because his Occlumency was about to be broken by emotions.

Umbridge flipped through her notebook as if she had never heard this before and said:

"So that means Dumbledore rejected your application to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor because he wanted to put his own people in."

After saying this, Umbridge looked at Snape with her notebook in hand, as if looking forward to Snape's next answer.

Unfortunately, Snape had regained his composure at this time and stopped talking, unwilling to say anything.

Umbridge looked at him calmly for a while, not disappointed, and started writing in her notebook.

Through the perception ability of the supersensory spell, Link can roughly tell through the movement trajectory of her quill. The content she wrote is roughly "Snape is resentful towards Dumbledore, Snape acquiesced to relevant issues" and so on.

After writing the entire note, she said goodbye to Snape and the students with a smile, and then left the classroom proudly.

She does have the qualifications to be arrogant. She directly used Snape to scare other monkeys, which accumulated a lot of reputation for her.

At least now the students should no longer take her as the 'Hogwarts Senior Inquisitor' seriously.

It wasn't until Umbridge's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight that the expression on Snape's face gradually became more vivid.

He walked into the crowd step by step, and when he passed the student who couldn't hold back his laughter before, he slapped him on the table and said:

"You cut up a piece of Caolingworm in vain, zero points! In addition, when you go back, write me an article about the correct handling of this material, indicating where you went wrong and why. I will give it to you in the next class. I'll hand it over, do you understand?"

"Listen... I understand."

The Ravenclaw student said weakly, and the surrounding students who were still a little commotion because of Umbridge instantly fell silent.

In this quiet atmosphere, Snape slowly walked to Link and Emily's desks.

Link and Emily are different from other students.

They didn't show any sign of panic or fear. Instead, they looked at Snape with smiles.

"Doesn't it feel good to be interrogated by that pink toad? But this is the lesson you deserve. Who told you to hang out with Dumbledore?"

Link spoke softly in a weak voice that only he and Snape could hear.

Upon hearing this, Snape's originally calm and deep eyes widened due to the overly intense emotion.

He quickly lowered his head and looked around Link's desk. Seeing that he couldn't find any mistakes, he raised his head again and said fiercely:

"Do you think you can continue to feel comfortable? Dumbledore already knew what you were thinking. Before, he was too busy dealing with the Death Eaters who were digging holes for Horcruxes that he had no skills to deal with you. But now, Umbridge was brought here specifically to deal with you!"

Link raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said:

"Wait, you mean the Death Eaters are digging holes everywhere looking for Horcruxes? Where have they gone?"

Snape's emotions gradually calmed down.

He looked deeply at Link and Emily, finally threw down a roll of parchment, then returned to the podium and announced loudly:

"get out of class off!"

……

Respond to requests indoors.

Link hurriedly arranged multiple layers of restrictions, and then unfolded the small roll of parchment that Snape handed him.

I saw that it was densely covered with words.

It can be seen that this should be a 'copy' of the report that the members of the Order of the Phoenix submitted to Dumbledore to explain their status and achievements. It is not known how Snape obtained this thing.

But the most important thing is that through these reports, Link can fully understand the activities of the members of the Order of the Phoenix during this period.

During this period of time, members of the Order of the Phoenix first explored various major ruins in the country, searching for traces of Death Eaters' activities.

After that, there were several small-scale battles with Death Eaters.

Due to the elite guerrilla tactics implemented by the Order of the Phoenix, the result is usually that they constantly harass the Death Eaters, but the Death Eaters have no good way to deal with them.

But there are also accidents.

Harry's godfather, Sirius Black and Lupine, were injured by Death Eaters due to mistakes in a battle.

At present, they cannot go to St. Mungo's Hospital, so they can only lie at home and rely on the potions given by Snape to heal their injuries.

This is definitely a bad idea.

Judging from the relationship between Snape and the two of them, although Snape would not take this opportunity to kill them directly, he would definitely let them suffer a period of torture that would be worse than death.

If people like Hermione or Cedric were to come and read this 'report', they would definitely be moved by the sacrifices and efforts made by the members of the Order of the Phoenix for the stability of the magical world.

But Link is different.

When reading this 'report', he focused almost all of his attention on the place names and time.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the words 'Gringotts Vault' did not appear inside.

"Link, what's wrong with you?"

Until this moment, Emily, who had been guarding the side, asked with concern.

She could sense that something was wrong from Link's look as if he was facing an enemy.

After hearing this, Link turned to look at her, as if he had made a decision, and said in a deep voice:

"You should know that the reason why Voldemort can still be resurrected is actually because he possesses Horcruxes and his soul is immortal, right?"

Emily nodded.

These were all things Link had told her before.

This is no longer a secret in the Order of the Phoenix and even in many small circles.

"Then do you know how many Horcruxes Voldemort has?" Link asked again, and then directly announced the answer without waiting for Emily to answer, "Six!"

As soon as these words came out, Emily was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide.

As the future mistress of the Foley family, she had naturally read "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" and understood the process of making Horcruxes.

That's why she was so surprised.

The principle of making a Horcrux is actually to use evil rituals to slice your own soul into pieces, and then place it in your own body and another item selected as a Horcrux.

In this case, even if the main body dies and even the soul is killed, the split soul placed in the Horcrux will still be fine and still have a chance to be resurrected.

This principle sounds simple, but in practice it is difficult.

Because the pain caused by cutting off the soul is simply not something humans can bear.

Generally speaking, being able to create a Horcrux is already considered a being with inhuman willpower.

And Voldemort has now made six Horcruxes?

This is simply... a monster!

In fact, Link hasn't revealed that Harry is also a Horcrux.

Otherwise Emily would have been so startled that she jumped.

To know the process of Harry Potter becoming Voldemort's Horcrux, even in the fantasy magical world, it is so weird that it can be described as a miracle.

On the other side, Link gave Emily a little time to buffer, and then waved his wand, scattering a large amount of light dust.

These silver-blue light dust formed six three-dimensional models of Horcruxes in mid-air.

"The first Horcrux we came into contact with was Tom Riddle's diary. The ghost in it kidnapped you, and then I killed you in the Forbidden Forest!"

While Link was speaking, a huge slash suddenly appeared on the three-dimensional model of the diary, and then disappeared.

"Then there is Gaunt's ring. The gem inlaid on this ring is the famous Resurrection Stone. It was originally hidden in Gaunt's old house. Dumbledore and I found it and worked together to remove the ghost of Voldemort."

The three-dimensional model representing Gaunt's ring shook for a while, the ring body shattered, and then the resurrection stone itself gradually disappeared.

"The last one is Slytherin's pendant. You also know this. I kept it after I destroyed the soul."

The gray gas on the pendant box turned into a skull and disappeared screaming.

"In other words, three of Voldemort's seven Horcruxes have been destroyed by us. As for the remaining ones," Link pointed at several models on the other side with his wand, "Nagini, A python is a biological Horcrux. It was kept by Voldemort, and its specific whereabouts cannot be determined at all.

The Diadem of Ravenclaw, which Lord Voldemort had tricked decades ago into stealing it from the Gray Lady and turning it into a Horcrux.It was originally hidden in the Room of Requirement, but is now missing. I suspect that Voldemort secretly sent someone to retrieve it.

Hufflepuff's golden cup, Voldemort gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping, and it should be kept by her in Gringotts' vault.

The key now is Hufflepuff's Gold Cup.

This is the only Horcrux whose exact location is known.

I originally planned to gather enough strength and then take it down with a devastating attitude.

But judging from the current situation, Voldemort is clearly looking for Horcruxes. Although they haven't found the true location of the gold cup yet, they don't have much time left for me. "

"Then let's strike first!" Emily suddenly said, "It's just Gringotts anyway! Although those goblins boasted very much, in fact Gringotts is not indestructible."

Link nodded and said:

"I think so too, but there are also Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort and the mysterious force behind Voldemort. If all these factors are added up, it will easily lead to accidents. This is why I am so late. The reason for not taking action yet.

But now we have no choice.

I will send a letter to Beckman and Old Krei later, asking them to transport combatants and resources to the Republic of China while remaining as hidden as possible. "

Seeing that Link had finally made up his mind, Emily felt relieved.

But soon she put on a straight face again and said to Link seriously:

“Now that the decision has been made, it’s time to talk about another issue.

Link, how do you know so much information?

Even Dumbledore couldn't possibly know the exact number and exact location of the Horcruxes, right? "

Since Link dared to tell Emily the matter, he was already prepared to be asked about it.

But when he actually faced Emily's question, Link was still a little panicked for no reason.

He took a deep breath and said extremely seriously:

"I was born to know it!"

"You...if you don't want to, forget it! Humph!"

Emily looked at Link blankly, and then turned her head away in a cowardly manner. It seemed that she would no longer take the initiative to talk to Link for a while.

Unless, Link goes over to coax her.

However, what Emily didn't know was that at this moment, Link's face was filled with endless helplessness.

Some things, if you tell the truth, others will find it unrealistic.
