Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1355: Assists

"Ahem."

A dry cough interrupted the communication in the office, Snape turned his head to look to the left, and a figure broke into the empty picture frame.

Hurriedly returning to his portrait, Phineas reported to Snape, "Principal, Yaxley asked me to tell you that he will come to visit you after ten o'clock tonight."

"For Hogsmeade?"

"For the matter of Hogsmeade." Phineas said affirmatively, "Yaxley seems to have just received some bad news, and looks very angry."

"I see."

Snape glanced at the clock next to the wall, and after confirming that there was still nearly half an hour before the agreed time, Snape continued to talk to Dumbledore about recent events.

When he talked about his suspicion that Professor McGonagall and others stayed in Hogwarts for other purposes, Dumbledore in the frame also fell into a brief silence.

"Are you worried that Minerva will make something difficult to deal with?" Dumbledore guessed what Snape was worried about.

"You know, I'm actually not interested in being the headmaster." Snape's voice was full of resentment.

Ever since he became the headmaster of Hogwarts, he has been troubled constantly.

Especially after Hogwarts was asked to expel Muggle students, it never enjoyed a moment of peace.

Moreover, in order to abide by the agreement with Dumbledore, he almost became a professional wiper of the students who like to make trouble for themselves.

Dumbledore obviously knew that Snape was having a hard time, and quickly comforted him, "They don't really have any plans."

Seeing that Snape didn't believe it, he continued, "Mr. Anderson used a prophecy a long time ago to see that the final battle of this wizarding war will be at Hogwarts, so Minerva and the others will stay in the school all the time. Wait for that day to come, and protect the students in the school from the Death Eaters."

"Parkinson's disappearance has nothing to do with them."

"Except for the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix, I really can't think of anyone else who would do that." Snape glanced at the clock again, then at Dumbledore and said, "Besides, so many weird things have happened recently .”

"Oh, what's weird?" Dumbledore asked, raising an eyebrow.

"The Dark Lord has been looking for Gregorovic, the maker of the wand, abroad for several months, and he still doesn't intend to give up."

"I remember we talked about it earlier," said Dumbledore.

Snape felt that Dumbledore wasn't telling the truth, anyone who wasn't a fool should realize that there was something wrong with this matter.

What exactly is Voldemort looking for?

"Parkinson's disappearance without warning is weird. The situation in Hogsmeade has also become unpredictable. Yaxley actually planned to start a war with the alien dark wizard occupying Hogsmeade. .”

"I bet you know why?"

"I don't know much more than you, Severus." Dumbledore reminded with a smile, "I'm already dead. How to make an accurate judgment?"

Snape said nothing, but he obviously didn't believe it.

If things hadn't become inexplicable, he wouldn't have tried to get some useful information from Dumbledore.

"Sometimes, if you change your mind, many weird things are actually very simple." Dumbledore guided.

"Another way of thinking?"

"Why did Voldemort seek the Elder Wand?"

"Because Anderson's rise made him feel threatened." Snape murmured.

"Yes, Voldemort even gave up on killing Harry himself." Dumbledore nodded and said, "I remember you told me that yourself."

"Professor McGonagall's strange behavior is related to Anderson, so... Parkinson's disappearance was also caused by him, but why did Anderson do that, and what good does it do him to make Parkinson disappear?" Snape proposed his own Confuse.

"I don't know, but it probably has something to do with him."

Dumbledore naturally cannot know everything.

"If Anderson is going to regain control of Hogwarts by controlling the Death Eaters, I suggest you talk to him first."

"I think you all take the Dark Lord for a fool," Phineas interjected.

Dumbledore ignored Phineas and continued, "As for the Hogsmeade matter, if you think about it carefully, don't you think it looks familiar?"

"Familiar?"

"Back then, Scrimgeour's Ministry of Magic brought huge casualties to the Death Eaters, and it can even be said that they directly injured the Death Eaters." Dumbledore reminded.

"You think Anderson is secretly manipulating this dispute?" Snape couldn't believe his ears.

"He intends to let the dark wizard and the Death Eaters lose both?"

"This is indeed something that Mr. Anderson would do." Dumbledore sighed softly, "There has never been such a thing as a coincidence in this world."

"How on earth did he do it."

"I'm afraid you have to ask him yourself."

Evidence?

Sometimes you don't need the so-called evidence, just doubt is enough.

The conversation was interrupted by a forest-green flame rising from the fireplace.

Snape was behind his desk dealing with the Headmaster's business when Yaxley came from the fireplace.

"Good evening, I hope I didn't disturb you."

After patting the ashes off his body with his hand, Yaxley took out his wand, pulled himself an armchair, and sat down opposite Snape.

"What do you need me to do with you?" Snape asked directly.

"According to the latest information I got, those guys in Hogsmeade village plan to unite against us." Yaxley's face was extremely ugly, "I plan to teach them an unforgettable lesson."

"Tell me about your plan," Snape said deadpan.

"I've gathered our people and headed towards Hogsmeade together with the dementors..." Yaxley told Snape about his next plan, but the latter frowned after listening .

Yaxley's method is nothing more than to use force to deter the other party from surrendering, but can this really succeed?

Snape could see Yaxley's true emotions. He didn't want to fight the dark wizards who occupied Hogsmeade in order to fight for Hogsmeade. But it's hard to explain.

But Hogsmeade had to deal with it, otherwise he might be considered by the Dark Lord as a loser who couldn't do even a little thing well.

"I understand your concerns, but is such a thing really possible?"

Snape felt that Yaxley had been in the Ministry of Magic for a long time, and even the way of handling it had become political.

"What do you mean?"

"If it's the Dark Lord, it's okay to want those dark wizards to bow their heads, but I'm afraid we can't, especially in terms of interests, they won't give in easily." Snape said meaningfully, "Don't forget By the way, they are dark wizards from various European countries, not British residents, if you want them to take the initiative to give in, you may have to rely on this. And, don’t forget, several Death Eaters have died before.”

"So, you think only..."

"No, I just want to remind you to give up unrealistic fantasies, and don't take any chances."

Yaxley also finally realized how ridiculous his previous plan was.

Their dark wizards are Death Eaters, not those hypocritical politicians.

"If all the dark wizards in Hogsmeade are against us~IndoMTL.com~ Yaxley's face will be even uglier, even if he adds up all the dead Death Eaters, there may not be a dark wizard on the other side Many, many of the newly joined Death Eaters are really mediocre in combat, just like the few Death Eaters who accidentally lost their lives.

"If the number is not enough, we can only use force to force the other party to surrender." Snape twitched his lips.

"You can also wait for the Dark Lord to come back to deal with it. He might be very happy to have another group of followers."

"No, absolutely not."

Yaxley will never allow himself to be labeled as incompetent.

"I admit that the strength on the other side is not weak, but...it is difficult for them to unite. As long as there is a little external pressure, they will easily collapse. No one is willing to risk their lives to fight against us."

Finally tasted the taste of power, how could Yaxley let it go so easily, he decided to put all his weight on it, betting that the dark wizard of Hogsmeade was vulnerable.
