[Zongmeiying] Wait, am I going to die?

Severus finally went to the two elves with the invitation.

Since he went to school at Hogwarts, except for the time when he returned to the house in Spider's End, he and the two elves were almost strangers. They get along like family again.

Although the elves admired Severus' deep-seated pride in the little wizard's independent behavior at school, they occasionally shook their heads at his youthful childishness.

And Severus Snape finally let go of his arrogance of "never bothering the two elves at school", and the behavior of sending this invitation letter made Elrond and Thranduil somewhat elders see The gratification of the juniors when they grow up.

—Will not cling to his pride and allow himself to take unpredictable risks, this kid really did not enter the wrong Slytherin house.

"Severus, do you want to go?" Elrond frowned and looked at the gorgeous envelope, which was exactly the same as the one he and Thranduil received at Christmas a year ago, but with a hint of eerie feeling.

He tried to reach out to the envelope, but was cut off by the Elf King.

"What did Hope say?" Thranduil raised his eyebrows and asked Severus, that guy who was always inseparable from the boy in front of him was lazy and sleeping in the bedroom at this time?As if he would easily believe it.

Severus recalled Hope's entire attitude towards the letter: "He said it was for me."

Elrond and Thranduil looked at each other.

"Go," said the half-elf, "we will accompany you."

The power of Hogwarts has grown weaker and weaker over the years, and the light surrounding the castle has dimmed at a rate visible to the naked eye of the elves.

On the other hand, Voldemort's influence is getting bigger and bigger in this small place of the wizarding world.Although there is Albus Dumbledore as the leader supporting the banner of the side of light, as far as the two elves know, chaos and death have already fallen on this land.Killing ordinary people for fun and torturing ordinary-born wizards... Thranduil and Elrond had "encountered" once or twice during the holidays, and taught each other a lesson.

They don't know if this is an established fate or a change due to the involvement of the evil god, but if Hope Weiss has no objection to this invitation, they may have to go.

Because Elrond has recently felt the change of the Code of Death, as if some power is calling the Code of Death and urging its power.

"Leave the invitation letter here, come to our office on Christmas Day." Thranduil tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and said unhurriedly.

Severus Snape glanced at the two elves, saw that they didn't hesitate, and didn't intend to say more to himself, so he nodded and left.

"The letter has his breath on it."

After Severus left, Elrond spoke to Thranduil.

They were still speculating where the Evil God had gone all these years, but they didn't expect that the other party would stay by Tom Riddle's side directly.

"What do you think his purpose is?"

"Since he is calling for the Code of Death, what else can he do?"

It can only be, to create death.

Although Hope has never communicated with the two elves, but with the experience of Elrond and Thranduil, of course he can see what the support points of the world are.

Albus Dumbledore, he is a key figure, opposite him is Tom Riddle, the Dark Lord who now calls himself Voldemort.

Lily Evans, James Potter and Sirius Black, of course Severus is one.

The more important key figures are probably the above.

In the eyes of the two elves, in the absence of any successors, the two leaders are undoubtedly the most critical figures at this point in time, and eliminating any of them will distort and collapse the fate of the world.

But the evil god can't kill them directly.

These people who bear their destiny have imprints of being protected by the rules, just like Dean can never die from an electric shock. Under the rules of this world, the lives of the key points are also protected by an irreversible fate.

Then the purpose of the other party's invitation to Severus is very clear——

Everything is ready, he will use the rules contained in the death code to kill the key support points.

Just as the two elves were analyzing the purpose behind the opponent, the fireplace suddenly lit up, and Dumbledore's voice appeared inside.

"Elrond, Thranduil, have you rested? I have something to ask you."

The two elves looked at each other.

"We'll be there soon."

Entering the principal's room directly through the fireplace, Elrond and Thranduil noticed that the principal's face was a little strange.

Since the two elves came to Hogwarts, Dumbledore never asked about their identities as before, nor asked them to join the Order of the Phoenix, or take the initiative to stand against the Death Eaters.

But what did it mean for Albus Dumbledore to look for them on the night that Severus received the invitation letter from the Death Eaters on the spot?

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest time, Elrond and Thranduil." The old headmaster still smiled as he did when he saw them for the first time, and judging from his expression, he didn't feel that at all." Sorry," he just wanted to soothe his tense nerves.

—What made him so nervous?

The elves couldn't help but look at each other, seeing doubts in each other's eyes.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what's bothering you?"

The elf lord asks in a healer's tone, which usually puts his patients at ease.

Albus Dumbledore laughed: "I have never asked about your origins, nor have I ever asked about the strange existence of Hope Weiss."

The elves were a little surprised, and then there was a trace of worry.

—When Dumbledore or anyone else realizes that Hope is special, it means that his power has faded to a certain limit.

"You really know about that child." Dumbledore's gaze behind the glasses suddenly became sharp and deep.

Thranduil pulled Elrond to sit down.

"I think this conversation will be difficult to end for a while, so why don't we just sit down and have a good conversation." The Elf King said slowly, his movements were elegant and arrogant, yet polite and magnanimous.

That is the face of "King".

The Elven King admired Dumbledore, an old man who had seen farther than any living wizard.Dumbledore has seen the darkness of the future when a group of fools kneel under the so-called blood and power.

With fame, status, strength and wisdom, the old man is the well-deserved uncrowned king of the British wizarding world.People should be thankful that he has no ambition to rule.Maybe he once had it, for a better world and greater power, but he suffered setbacks, lessons, his ideals were shattered, and the cold reality told him that he was on the wrong path.So he turned back resolutely, shouldering what he had lost, and only hoped that no one would go down the wrong path again.

However, this is viewed from a human standpoint.

"Let's start with why the principal suddenly noticed Hope Weiss." Thranduil smiled, suppressing Elrond who was about to speak, his blue eyes full of evaluation .

Dumbledore folded his hands on the table and was silent for a while.

He always knew that the two wizards in front of him were not ordinary, so he chose them to teach at Hogwarts.Facts have proved that both Elrond and Thranduil are very suitable for this teaching position, even if they themselves may not think so.

However, Dumbledore never forgot the shock when he saw them for the first time—abundant magic power, powerful power, clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and an elegant demeanor as if walking out of an ancient mural.

Only an ancient family that has been settled for a hundred years, a thousand years or even longer can come out of such a character. Compared with them, the nobles in the wizarding world are a little more flashy, while the strong are a little less calm.

The traces polished by time cannot deceive anyone, let alone they have never been covered up.

"I have received an invitation letter." Dumbledore waved his wand, and the gorgeous invitation letter with hot gold lettering floated out of the cabinet and lay quietly on the table in front of the two.

The signature was Malfoy.

"And this invitation letter is not just an invitation letter, it's more like a notice letter." Dumbledore waved his wand again, and the closed letter was opened, with five names signed inside.

Albus Dumbledore, Elrond, Thranduil, Severus Snape, Hope Wes.

"...as if to inform me that these five people will definitely be there on the day of the Yule Ball." Dumbledore twisted his beard, "Then I realized that I have always been concerned about the existence of Mr. Hope Weiss." It's vague—"

It's like he always thought that there was no such person in the school, but one day he discovered that this person was actually a student of his school.That kind of astonishment was no less than a thunderbolt to the headmaster.

He tentatively asked Slytherin Head Slughorn, and the rigorous McGonagall... They all seemed to indicate that there was no such child in the school. Then, Dumbledore was in Severus Snape When he received a letter from the golden eagle, he saw the face of a blond student with a lazy face beside him.

Dumbledore could bluntly say that he remembered the faces of all the students in the school, but he had no memory of the face that was not easy to forget.

Hope Weiss?

Who is he?

Dumbledore has always felt that something is wrong with the surrounding environment, and he can't tell what went wrong.

——The Dark Lord still emphasizes the theory of pure blood as a half-blood, burning, killing, and looting are all evils; young children still grow up carefree in Hogwarts and don't need to face the storms outside for the time being.

But Albus Dumbledore just felt uneasy.

Just as a sensitive animal has a sense of impending danger, so he senses the impending storm!

It wasn't even the death and darkness brought on by the Dark Lord, the Death Eaters, but—

Destroy, top, destroy, destroy!
