[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter

Chapter 61 Negotiations

"This is impossible!"

I saw Aurora and Mycroft in one of the safest study rooms in the whole Malfoy Manor; Draco, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy's family of three; Dumbledore and Snape each Occupy one side.And our distinguished Patriarch Malfoy stood up with an unbelievable expression on his face, and Narcissa was holding Lucius' arm in an attempt to calm him down.

"Mr. Malfoy, I think this is just Miss Aurora's speculation, you don't have to be so excited." Dumbledore said gently.

Under Narcissa's reassurance, Lucius calmed down, but he still disagreed and said, "The Death Eaters who are now active in the wizarding world all used the excuse of being 'controlled by the Imperius Curse' back then to clarify Don't take responsibility for your actions and get a pardon. As soon as the Dark Lord's power weakened, they rushed to get rid of the connection between the two. It is conceivable that their loyalty to the Dark Lord is not high. Those who are loyal go to Azkaban Prison gone."

"So I don't think there are loyal Death Eaters who are deeply hidden." Lucius remembered that everyone who met again knew his details, and there was no excuse for "being controlled by the Imperius Curse". He glanced at Snape who was silent beside Dumbledore, "Even if it exists, I don't know about it."

Noticing Lucius' gaze, Mycroft glanced at Snape with a smile, and said pointedly: "As far as I know, Mr. Snape didn't use the Imperius Curse as an excuse."

"..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present fell silent.

Aurora looked at Mycroft in surprise, why did my brother open fire on Professor Snape today?When the two of them were discussing their training plan, didn't they both seem friendly?

Snape glanced at Aurora's reaction, seeing that she didn't show any disgust or fear, so he withdrew his eyes and stared at the ground with half-closed eyes without defending himself.It took him a while to realize that Aurora knew about his past as a Death Eater, but his relationship was messed up and he paid too much attention to Aurora's opinion of him.

Dumbledore helped Snape out, "Mr. Holmes, you are worrying too much. Severus is an undercover agent sent by the Order of the Phoenix to Voldemort."

"I hope so." Mycroft smiled inexplicably, "The symbol of the Dark Lord..."

Aurora touched Mycroft with her elbow and interrupted him, "After we overpower Voldemort, there will only be a barely visible mark left on the Dark Devil's mark on our arm. Of course, if necessary, I will It can also help you clean it up."

"No need for now, you can sense the Dark Lord by wearing the Dark Mark." Snape said flatly: "The Dark Mark is not only used as the identification mark of Death Eaters, but also whenever Voldemort is powerful or appears around , the mark on the Death Eater's arm will be as painful as burning, and it will become clearer and clearer."

Although Lucius and Narcissa were moved by Aurora's proposal, after hearing Snape's words, they remembered another function of the Dark Mark. As long as Voldemort pressed the Dark Mark on his arm, he could summon Death Eaters.They finally agreed that before the Dark Lord was completely dead, it was better not to remove this symbol, so as not to cause more trouble.

During the years of knowing Snape, Aurora could feel Snape's dislike for the Dark Mark on his left arm, and she did not expect that he would not remove the Dark Mark before destroying Voldemort.Aurora also guessed what Snape hadn't said, and if one day Voldemort made a comeback and Dumbledore needed him to be an undercover agent, he wouldn't say anything.

Aurora pursed her lips and changed the subject, "Professor Snape and Uncle Lucius will come to me if you need to clear the sign in the future. Let's not talk about this, what do you think about the five people who escaped from Azkaban this time?" What do you think?"

Aurora recalled the relationship between Bellatrix and Narcissa in the data, "Aunt Narcissa, Bellatrix Lestrange is your sister, maybe you can think about the possibility of her hiding place?"

Narcissa thought about it seriously, but finally shook her head at Aurora, "I'm sorry dear, Bella is a loyal follower of the Dark Lord, and our relationship has not been so close since she started following the Dark Lord gone."

"It's okay, Aunt Narcissa." Aurora smiled at Narcissa, "It would be great if you can think of it, and you don't have to feel sorry if you can't."

McCoff was still dissatisfied with these five uncontrollable high-risk elements wandering around the UK, "Mr. Dumbledore, do you have any arrangements for the pursuit of these five people?"

"Apart from the Ministry of Magic arranging Aurors to hunt down, there is really no other way." Dumbledore frowned and said in embarrassment: "The number of wizards in the entire UK is only about 5000. If they want to hide, or run away Go to other countries, we can't find them at all."

"Do wizards have any big events this year?" Mycroft said suddenly.

"I know!" Draco's words made everyone present turn to look at him.

Originally, Draco should not be allowed to observe the conversation in the study room, but considering that he is the heir of the Malfoy family, Lucius decided to let Draco observe after some thinking.

In the previous conversation, Draco had been unable to intervene,

Draco blushed slightly, and was embarrassed at the end, "There will be the Quidditch World Cup this summer, is that okay?"

"The World Cup? It sounds like there should be a lot of wizards participating." Mycroft said to Dumbledore, "Since no one can be found in hiding, Mr. Dumbledore, are you interested in letting them come out of their dens by themselves? "

Before Dumbledore could react, Aurora, as Mycroft's own sister, immediately understood what he meant. Aurora sighed, "That's amazing, my brother, you are making something out of nothing, fishing and law enforcement! I don't think it's normal. Wizards who surf the Internet and don’t follow dramas probably didn’t expect us to use this trick!”

McCoff patted Aurora on the back of the head, causing her to exclaim. The smile on McCoff's face remained the same, "This is called inviting you into the urn. How could we violate citizens' right to self-discipline?"

"Yes, yes, yes! We are good citizens who abide by the law! The person concerned had no intention of breaking the law, and only engaged in illegal activities under the lure of law enforcement officers. How could we do this kind of phishing law enforcement!" Aurora said flatteringly: "We This kind of method, to make the enemy relax their guard, and then catch the enemy after being fully exposed, is to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than 36 tricks of trying to catch."

Mycroft nodded in satisfaction, indicating that Aurora can be taught as a child.

I don't understand Severus very well, but I understand it roughly. Snape: ...

Snape, who understood the conversation between the two Holmes brothers and sisters, had to interrupt them because they had seriously strayed off topic!Listening to which of the 36 strategies Aurora and Mycroft used, to how to use them more efficiently and conveniently, Snape expressed that he was bored.He recalled that his rude, blatant and eccentric behavior of deducting points from the school was too straightforward?Maybe he needs to think about it, how to deduct points from those little monsters and make them feel that he is right?

Big daily point deductors, little monsters, and little lions:) Thank you so much!Big Bat Professor Snape! (Happiness is written all over the face. JPEG)

"Maybe we need to find another event." Seeing that he had attracted the attention of the two Holmes brothers and sisters, Snape continued, "There are a lot of people going to the Quidditch World Cup to watch the game. Even if there are Death Eaters making trouble, it's nothing Just some scumbags."

"Is that so?" Aurora rubbed her chin and thought for a while, "That's right, the most that Death Eaters appear in the Quidditch World Cup is to cause riots and cause panic in the wizarding world. Having said that, the task of being caught is easy to be exposed. The central characters of the show really don't appear."

Dumbledore, who hadn't spoken out since he cleared Snape, offered his thoughts, "How about the Triwizard Tournament?"

Aurora: What the hell?

"The death toll in the Triwizard Tournament is really too high, hasn't it been cancelled?" Snape said with a frown.

Lucius works for the International Magic Trade Standards Association, so he also knows some inside information. He explained to Snape, "The Department of International Magic Cooperation and the Department of Magic Sports think that the Triwizard Tournament can be held again, but this It's just their proposal, nothing has been decided yet."

"That may require us to push." ​​Dumbledore chuckled, "This competition is also an excellent way for young wizards from different countries to build friendship, isn't it?"

Mycroft, who knew a little about the Triwizard Tournament, participated in their discussion, "Maybe some game mechanics need to be changed to re-host the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Oh? Mr. Holmes, what proposal do you have?"

"The 'Top Three' should represent three schools. The three warriors selected respectively cannot fully represent the strength of a certain school. How about changing it to a team competition?"

"It makes sense that cooperation between team members can also greatly reduce the casualty rate."

……

Aurora watched for a while and found that she couldn't get in the way because she didn't even know what the Triwizard Tournament was.It can only be roughly learned from the vague discussions of several adults that the Triwizard Tournament is a mutual battle between three magic schools...

Aurora ticked her fingers at Draco, who was also unable to intervene. Draco walked to Aurora's side and realized that she had never heard of the Triwizard Tournament, and then began to "literate" wizard knowledge for Aurora action.

After listening to Draco's explanation, Aurora realized that the Triwizard Tournament was founded about 700 years ago, and it was a competition between Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the three largest magic schools in Europe. A friendly rivalry.The competition is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it.It was agreed that the Tournament was an excellent way for young wizards from different nations to form friendships, but then the death toll became too great and the Triwizard Tournament was called off.

In the competition, each school selects a warrior, and the three warriors compete in three magic items, testing their magical talents, advantages, courage, theory, reasoning ability and ability to overcome danger.They are graded according to the quality of their completion of each item, and the warrior with the highest combined score of the three items wins.
