Chapter 43: Test Heuristics

"My personal medicine cabinet has lost so much stuff! I can no longer act as if I didn't find anything and let him come in and out of my place as he wants! I'm not that group of little monsters, it's been a semester Two of the professors in Defense Against the Dark Arts don’t know about it!” Snape stood in front of the headmaster’s desk without giving in, “You probably don’t know that Barty Crouch Jr. has been secretly trying to help the Savior, right?”

"Severus, calm down..." Dumbledore kindly pushed the dessert plate on the table forward, "Try this, Honeydukes' latest Valentine's Day chocolate, it tastes really good!"

The black-robed wizard looked at the plate for a few moments, and calmly packed the plate of chocolates, ignoring the stunned face of the old bee, "Since you refuse to reimburse me for the African tree snake skin, I can only try to recover the loss."

The white wizard was shocked by the Potions Professor's neat packing method. He stared blankly at his empty snack plate, and looked at the cardboard box that Snape had put into the interspatial bag with unconcealed surprise. Hogg Watts' Potions Professor is so poor that he doesn't even have Gallon to buy candy for the children, so he can only rob him from the principal?

It took him a long time to find his voice, and he tremblingly said weakly: "Although the Order of the Phoenix has replenished some manpower, it is still impossible to confirm the hiding area of ​​Voldemort. You can bear with him for a while longer? I know that Soul Reaper The operation of the curse is easier than that of the ecstasy potion, but using the Unforgivable Curse is quite unfavorable for the liquidation after the battle...Even if it is Lucius, it is best not to use it as much as possible."

Snape stared at the old wizard in front of him with heavy eyes, "I am a spy, they will check my wand, you are the leader of the White Wizard, who would doubt you?"

Dumbledore sighed deeply, and some dark colors flashed in his blue eyes, "Severus, I have to stick to my bottom line. If I don't have a bottom line...then Voldemort and I What's the difference?"

"Pedantic, stubborn and rotten mind, so until now you can't find a cowardly mouse and his master." Snape commented mercilessly, but he didn't look as angry as before , obviously the persistence in Dumbledore's words moved him, and his attitude became better at a speed visible to the naked eye. "How is the progress of the Horcrux?"

"Ah..." Dumbledore looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise, Severus never cared about these things before.Barty Crouch Jr. was still an exception. He touched the Potions Professor's private stash, which was something Severus most taboo about.But about Harry... Severus has always been afraid to avoid it... Even though he thought so in his heart, the white wizard still told the whole situation, "If Harry's previous information is correct and the diary has been destroyed, The relics of the four founders... Gryffindor's sword is no problem, Ravenclaw's diadem is missing, Hufflepuff's cup should be in Gringotts, Slytherin's thing may be a locket , but Harry said that the locket can be ignored... that snake has been following Voldemort's side..."

He paused for a while, then continued: "However, when I went to Little Hangleton, I passed by the old house of the Gaunt family and found something..."

Snape looked disinterestedly at the brown wooden box covered with red lines and yellow paper strips that the old bee took out. It looked like an ordinary box, but the moment it was opened, the thick black magic aura that could be atomized was overwhelming. The majestic momentum quickly attacked Dumbledore who was directly in front of the opening of the box—the head of Slytherin was startled, and quickly cast a protective spell on Dumbledore with his wand, but saw the old bee sitting there moving Nothing changes--

The black mist was approaching menacingly, but before it could run a foot, the red lines on the yellow paper strips on the brown wooden box instantly shined brightly, forming a red net to catch all the fleeing black mist, and firmly suppressed it in the box. inside.

Dumbledore touched his white beard and looked at the trembling box with a smile. When the black mist finally dissipated weakly, he pointed to the ring that showed his real body and said, "Its power has been weakened a lot. , Before I opened the house, it would be dark for a while. If it weren't for the box Mr. Big Winter gave me, I might not be able to escape unscathed, I am really old...the younger generation is terrible."

"Is this also a Horcrux?" Snape's face remained unchanged, knowing that the "younger" definitely did not refer to the Winter Solstice, and most likely referred to the Dark Lord who set the trap.

"That's right. This is the heirloom of the Gaunt family, the last bloodline of Slytherin. The ring is passed on to the male, and the locket is passed on to the daughter. It's just..." Dumbledore sighed for a while and didn't say much, just Covered the wooden box again, and wrapped the yellow paper thinly.

Snape took two steps, and finally turned back with a frown, "Then what should he do?"

"Who?" Dumbledore deliberately pretended to be stupid and ordered his dessert plate with his wand, and the caring house elves quickly filled another plate full of chocolates.

"Horcrux!" The black-haired wizard said impatiently, "Savior who survived the catastrophe!"

"Harry..." Dumbledore didn't continue to play dumb, he stopped taking the candy, and became serious with a rare expression, "There are many ways to destroy Horcruxes, but no one can be sure that these methods are harmful to a living person. Effective... Severus, only something extremely destructive can destroy a Horcrux, such as the fangs of the Basilisk. The question is, if we want to use the fangs of the Basilisk, how can we ensure that we can be safely rescued in Harry? Destroy the soul piece under the premise of returning? What's more, Harry...isn't he already invulnerable to all poisons now?"

Only something extremely destructive can destroy a Horcrux...

Snape thought about this sentence, what else could it be but poisonous?

The portraits of the former headmasters of Hogwarts who had remained silent on the wall suggested: "Devil flames?"

"Harry will be burned to ashes." Dumbledore stared at the speaking portrait, and found that he was Phineas Nigellus Black. "How's Sirius lately?"

"Tsk." The portrait said disdainfully, "You're busy looking for trouble with a reporter all day, like a mad dog."

"Rita Skeeter?" Snape asked suddenly.

"That's right." The portrait said, "If you have time to study these dubious women, it's better to connect with ladies from other families and increase your relationship—"

Dumbledore asked with interest, "Has he caught this Miss Skeeter? How did she collect those unknown secrets?"

"She's an Animagus," murmured the portrait, "turned into a beetle and eavesdropped..."

"Animagus... I see." Dumbledore smiled, and put a cookie into his mouth.

Snape was not sensitive to Black's gossip, and he glanced at Dumbledore who was indulging in sweets, "I'll go find a potion for this. As for Barty Crouch Jr., I hope you can give me more snacks." , the Triwizard Tournament is about to reach the last item, he will definitely get anxious, and you also know that Ecstasy Potion is not a panacea."

"Yes, yes..." the old wizard sighed, "Their target is none other than Harry...Severus...I know you will protect him."

"I won't." Snape said quietly, as if he didn't notice that the portraits in the headmaster's office stopped as soon as he said the words, straining their ears to listen more carefully. "I came to you not only for the African tree snake skin I stole. I think even if your brain has been completely corroded by sweets, your instinct will not let you forget. The last project in June, Hogwarts all Warriors will play."

"Is that so...?" Dumbledore was puzzled when he faced his Potions Master for the first time.

"Don't you think that I will be with the savior to protect him when the time comes?"

Dumbledore was dumbfounded, "But we all know that Barty Crouch Jr. is very likely to mess with that day, and he very likely has accomplices. We are short of manpower, Severus."

"Watch Crouch get Moody out; borrow someone; or bring your Order of the Phoenix to Hogwarts, either way, I'll just be with Triton that day," Snape said, " I'm just telling you to give you time to prepare, and I won't change my decision anyway."

Dumbledore smiled wryly, "Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix who is free has gone out to hunt down Horcruxes...I think Triton may not be noticed by Voldemort..."

"Just in case." Snape said indifferently, "If you are willing to give up the bait of Barty Crouch Jr., maybe I can trust Triton to be in no danger."

"If we give up Barty Crouch Jr., Europe is so big, when will we find Voldemort?" Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, "Severus, you know, no one I can trust There are many...and you are the best of them..."

"I'm not very honored." The black-robed wizard had a mocking smile on his face, and turned to leave.

Dumbledore didn't hold back anymore, he leaned back in his chair, his eyes fell on the photo frame on the table.

Tips:

I can't catch Lao Fu for a long time. It's not a bug or I forgot. It is developed strictly according to the real situation of the magic world (the protagonists who are playing now are not free to show love (*￣︶￣*)), Lao Fu left Han Gorton, every time he summoned Barty Jr. he used the Dark Mark, and Barty Jr. used Apparition as soon as he came out of Hogwarts.

Unless someone suddenly rushed over to follow them like in the seventh grade in the original work, but that would be very risky, and the "limbs" could be broken at any time.

Ecstasy potion, even the Imperius Curse, can't set the Unbreakable Curse, unless it is voluntary, obviously the loyal little Barty will not say it.Potions are the same as spells, as long as you realize that you are being controlled, the effect will soon be eliminated, and you can only do it slowly.
