The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Link's conversation with Snape continued for a long time.

During this period, the two of them had a very in-depth discussion about the war against the French magic world.

There are some more secretive things among them.

For example, a large-scale immigration wave has broken out in the French wizarding world, and the riots caused by Norton's suicide are more terrifying than what was published in the Daily Prophet. For now, the entire France The Ministry of Magic is almost paralyzed and cannot organize a strong resistance force at all.

The situation in the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China is much better.

The first is the mass production of "Pseudo Dawn Potion".

For now, "False Dawn Potion" has not been able to achieve real mass production without Link.

But after research by Link, Snape and other potion masters, most of its production processes have been transferred to others. All Link needs to do is the final step of preparation, using It only activates the effect of the title.

This has greatly improved the production efficiency of "False Dawn Potion", and it has now been officially put into use by Auror troops.

Of course, since the quantity is still limited, "Pseudo Dawn Potion" appears in the Auror troops as redeemable supplies.

Except for those who have outstanding talents and are invested by Link, ordinary Aurors must have sufficient merit and gold galleons if they want to obtain the "False Dawn Potion".

On the other side, the recruitment campaign hosted by Percy and Old Barty also achieved good results.

So far, the number of Auror troops has increased from more than a hundred after the first expansion to nearly 200.

The strike force has increased from more than 500 people at the beginning to nearly [-] people now.

This number may not be surprising in Muggle society, it can even be said to be pitifully small.

But what Link is in now is a magical world after all.

The population resources in the magical world are really scarce.

In the entire magical world of Yu, the magical population is only a few tens of thousands.

There are also a large number of elderly people, children, weak people and people who are unwilling to join the army in this small population.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to organize such an army.

You must know that in the original book, Voldemort controlled the Ministry of Magic and entangled a large number of Death Eaters, mainly composed of ragtag groups, to attack Hogwarts. There were only more than 100 people.

With this comparison, the importance of Hogwarts can be highlighted.

It's not without reason that Fudge and Voldemort value Hogwarts so much.

As the most famous magic school in China and even Europe, there are thousands of students gathered here.

Even if there are only a few hundred people with actual combat capabilities, it is still a quite powerful military force.

But now, all such military power is in Link's hands.

And in addition to Hogwarts, Link also controls the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With these two 'barracks' and the military power of the Ministry of Magic of France, the shadowy people hidden in the French magic world are in Link's eyes. There is not much possibility of victory here.

However, these conversations stopped after Professor Slughorn stood up and announced that the Slug Club's Christmas dinner had officially begun.

Then the entire banquet hall was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.

Everyone was enjoying music and food. Professor Slughorn and Ernie and several other funny people would tell some jokes from time to time, making everyone laugh. Even people like Snape couldn't bear it. I laughed out loud.

In Harry's opinion, this scene seemed very ironic when compared with the scene where Link discussed how to more effectively invade the magical world of France.

Unfortunately, Harry's attention was no longer on the party at all.

In fact, ever since Link admitted that the reason for conscription was to pursue victory, Harry had been in a state of trance and hesitation.

Harry had to admit that he had fantasies about Link before.

It was precisely for this reason that he struggled when Gerald gave him orders.

Even after a long ideological struggle, his requirements for Link have been reduced to just maintaining the current peace.

As long as the status quo can be maintained, Harry is willing to use gentler methods to remind Link not to indulge in aggression.

This was not difficult for Harry to think about.

After all, the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China has already won.

As a winner who has already gained benefits, can’t he even maintain his current victory?

Link gave him the answer to this question today.

Yeah, Link can't do that.

Maintaining the current victory is not what Link wants at all.

It turns out that Link wants more. He will continue to wage war and go to the French magical world to defeat an enemy that Harry even thinks may not exist, in order to further increase the resources of the French magical world.

This made Harry completely disappointed in Link.

He felt that all the good ideas he had for Link had been fed to the dog.

A strong emotion of loss enveloped Harry, making his soul seem to fall into an abyss, falling endlessly.

Harry remained in this state throughout the entire Christmas dinner for several hours.

He clapped along with everyone in a daze, read Christmas greetings together, and promised that the Slug Club will always be a family.

Until the end of the dinner, the crowd gradually dispersed, and even the lights gradually dimmed, but Harry was still sitting alone in the dark banquet hall.

The blow this time was too great for him, and he had completely given up thinking.

At this time, he desperately longed to hear that gentle whisper again. Only that voice could soothe and heal his injured heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, the voice never appeared.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the only thing accompanying him at this moment seemed to be the sound of his own heartbeat.

The heartbeat was a little messy, and the vibration was a little loud, so much so that Harry's whole body was shaking slightly.

No, this is not the sound of a heartbeat!

Harry finally felt something was wrong. He reached out to his left chest and touched a cylindrical metal object.

This is the spatial anchor Gerrard gave him.

At this moment, it is no longer as cold as before, but exudes a warm breath, and is still trembling.

It was as if he sensed Harry's depressed thoughts and was comforting Harry.

Staring at the spatial anchor in his hand, Harry's originally distracted eyes gradually solidified.

Link's situation is more serious than he imagined.

In this case, ordinary, ordinary methods may not be applicable.

In order for Link to completely wake up from the whirlpool of desire, he would need some more stimulating means.

Thinking like this, Harry tightened his grip on the spatial anchor in his hand.

He took a deep breath and rushed to Snape's office.

……

When he came to the basement panting heavily and pushed open the heavy stone door of Snape's office, what appeared in front of him was Snape's eyes that seemed to be eternally silent.

Snape seemed to have expected him to come, sitting quietly in front of the workbench and staring at him.

Gu Xian</span>This made Harry's originally anxious heart gradually calm down.

He greeted subconsciously:

"professor."

Snape nodded and said:

"It's late at night, what's wrong?"

"I have something I want to ask for your help with."

Harry looked straight at Snape, and when he saw that Snape was silent, he added, "But before that, I want to know if I can trust you."

"You have arrived here, stood in front of me, and made a request for my help. I think by now, you should already have the answer to this question in your mind."

Harry fell silent.

What Snape gave was an answer that wasn't really an answer at all.

But this unexpectedly spoke to Harry's mind.

He was already here, so in his heart, Snape was naturally trustworthy.

This is not just Gerrard's suggestion, but also his true inner thoughts.

He took a deep breath, finally took out the space anchor in his arms and said:

"You are right, Professor Snape, I am willing to trust you. So what I want to ask you for help is to put this thing in Dumbledore's principal's office."

"What is this? It looks very sophisticated. It should be some kind of alchemy product. What purpose do you want to use it to achieve?"

Snape took the space anchor handed over from Harry, put it in his hand, looked at it carefully and said.

His tone was quite relaxed.

Because he simply didn't believe that Harry would have any harmful thoughts towards Dumbledore and Link.

He even thought that this might be another George and Fred-style prank planned by Harry and his gang.

This kind of prank is too common for Gryffindors. This group of brainless lions just like to play such meaningless pranks and like to see others' expressions of shock and even fear.

If there was one thing that Snape couldn't understand, it was that Harry would find him to help him this time.

However, Harry's expression suddenly became serious when he heard this, and he said solemnly:

"This is indeed an alchemical artifact. I need it to be hidden in a hidden place in the principal's office without being discovered for at least a week. As for why I want to do this, I'm sorry, Professor Snape, I can't tell you."

Listening to Harry's words and looking at Harry's serious expression, Snape's originally relaxed spirit finally became tense.

He began to realize that things might not be that simple.

Snape once again picked up the metal cylinder in his hand and began to use his mental power and magic power to scan it more deeply.

But this time, he made an even more amazing discovery.

In this cylindrical alchemical device, he saw some magical circuits similar to those of portkeys, as well as many spatial magic fluctuations.

In other words, this alchemy device is likely to be something like a vanishing cabinet that can break open space.

Of course, in terms of effect and level alone, this thing may be much more advanced than the disappearing cabinet.

After all, Hogwarts' space protection is completely different from before.

That's why it's placed in the principal's office.

Because only in the principal's office, the core of the protective formation, can this device work properly.

In other words, Harry wanted to break the anti-Apparition spell so that some people who were originally not welcome at Hogwarts could directly enter the interior of Hogwarts Castle?

This is not a simple prank, but a real invasion!

So the question then arises, why did Harry do that?

There is absolutely no reason for him to do this!

Snape's face changed for the first time.

He looked at Harry in front of him with a complicated expression, as if he had never really gotten to know this child until this moment.

"You have asked me before whether I am worthy of your trust. I can answer this question directly for you now. The answer is that I am not worthy of your trust at all. To be honest, I don't understand your attitude towards me at all. Where does trust come from, and why do you think I would help you do such a thing!?"

said Snape.

After speaking, his tone became extremely serious.

But this time, Harry didn't know where he got the courage, and he looked at Snape without showing any weakness and said:

"I believe you will help me, because you are my mother's friend, aren't you? Although you hate my father, at least you still love my mother."

As soon as these words came out, Snape's eyes suddenly widened, and the thoughts that were originally covered by Occlumency could no longer be suppressed and spewed out.

His breathing was gradually getting thicker, and the look he was looking at Harry became a little strange, or rather confused.

But in the end, after a long struggle, reason finally prevailed.

As his eyes became deep and hollow again, Snape placed the space anchor in his hand on the workbench and said calmly:

"That was a long time ago."

"Yes, if you look at it in terms of time, it was indeed a long time ago. But to you, these things seem to have just happened, don't they?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about, this is simply..."

Snape was interrupted by Harry waving his hand just in the middle of his words.

Harry seemed to be in no mood to continue arguing with Snape. He slowly stood up and retreated to the door, closing the stone door and saying:

"The choice is in your hands, and my destiny is in your hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door closed heavily.

It wasn't until this moment that Harry finally couldn't hold himself any longer.

He leaned on the stone door as if he was exhausted, his heartbeat was beating as fast as a drum, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

He didn't even understand how he managed to hold up in front of Snape just now.

He understood even more that he had no way out.

At Snape's level, he would definitely be able to discover the spatial anchor and learn about his conspiracy.

So next, it depends on what Snape will choose.

If Snape chose to tell Link or Dumbledore, he was doomed.

As Harry had just said, his fate was in Snape's hands.

Now that the matter is over, there is nothing to worry about!

Harry gritted his teeth and forced his weak body to walk towards Gryffindor Tower.

At the same time, what Harry didn't know was that Snape, who had already taken control of his destiny, was in a huge entanglement with someone who was even more passive than him.
