[HP] Subversion - Destined

Chapter 42 The Secret Talk in the Duke of Bees

In the morning, I watched the happy little animals in Hogwarts pass Filch’s inspection one by one and went to Hogsmeade in twos and threes through the window of my dormitory. Yi sneaked into the secret passage of the hunchbacked one-eyed witch sculpture.

This secret road was cold and lengthy, and I struggled for more than an hour to reach my destination.The secret room leads to the underground warehouse of the Honey Duke Candy Store. I put on the invisibility cloak very carefully, and suddenly heard a female voice not very clear from upstairs: "... dear... those gentlemen and ladies are here, hurry up and take some...wine..."

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man came downstairs in a hurry, picked up two wine bottles from the cabinet, and went upstairs chattering: "Really...why don't they go to the three broomsticks to come and talk to our Honey Duke? ..." I was taken aback for a moment, and followed behind him in a strange way.

The middle-aged man went up the steep and narrow stairs, possibly three stories high, and at the end of the stairs was a wooden door.Before he could knock on the door, the door opened. It was opened by a beautiful lady with short purple hair. I followed them into the room, and was surprised to find some familiar faces inside——Snape, Professor McGonagall, There is also a man with scars all over his face. One of his eyes is black and small, while the other is big and round. The eyeballs turn at unimaginable angles, so strange that it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false—he is crazy eyes. Hammoody?And that lady, Nymphadora Tonks—what are the Order of the Phoenix doing here?

Moody's magical eyes suddenly froze on where I was standing. I couldn't help shivering, and instinctively tightened my invisibility cloak. Why did I feel like I was being seen through... Did I overlook something? ?Fortunately, he quickly shifted his gaze and watched the middle-aged man walk out the door.

Tonks cast a few spells on the wooden door and filled everyone with a glass of wine: "Well, it's safe now, no one would have guessed we'd be chatting behind closed doors in the busiest and kid-friendly Honeydukes candy shop. "

Snape snorted coldly in disdain, and Moody tapped the ground with a wooden crutch in both hands: "I can't believe that Dumbledore can so easily listen to the one-sided words of a young child!"

"Alastor, Mary Weasley once communicated with Horcruxes, and the information she received from Ravenclaw's crown is very worthy of our attention—and she asked to take Veritaserum herself." Professor McGonagall said seriously Genuinely, "Abus immediately went to Gaunt's old house after receiving information about the Horcrux, and found Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and now it is confirmed that the Hufflepuff Gold Cup is indeed in Gringotts, Severus It's been taken out..."

"So it is true that the Slytherin locket, the pet snake next to the mysterious man, and...Harry Potter all contain soul tablets?" Tonks took a sip of his wine, "Put Hufflepuff's golden goblet Take it out and have a look."

Professor McGonagall nodded to Snape. The latter raised his hand to his chest without saying a word. A finger-sized object appeared in his palm with golden light flashing. As soon as it touched the table, it turned into a small golden cup with a badger carved on it. , everyone in the room gathered together.Snape stood upright by the table, fingers crossed, and said slowly in his usual low and silky voice: "The soul piece inside has not yet awakened."

Moody's real and fake eyes are all carefully observing Jinbei: "Oh...know how to eliminate it?"

"The diary was pierced by the fangs of the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and the Ravenclaw crown was pulled out with Legilimency and then directly 'forgotten' - but obviously not for this soul device." Professor McGonagall explained for Snape, "Until a solution was found, Albus asked Severus to keep the cup temporarily, while he himself was studying the ring."

"Keep it close to you? You keep it with you?" Tonks looked at Snape in surprise, "We don't know when Soul Pieces will awaken, let alone there is already a precedent of being controlled..."

"That's why Snape kept it!" Moody sneered, "A former Death Eater! Even if he is controlled, he's still a Death Eater!"

Snape didn't respond to his provocation, but Professor McGonagall quickly explained: "In the Order of the Phoenix, except for Albus, Severus's Occlumency is the strongest. If even he can be controlled, then it's okay." Imagine that no wizard can resist the invasion of Horcruxes. Instead of worrying about the influence of Horcruxes all day long, it is better to carry them with you."

It turned out that Hufflepuff's golden cup was always on Snape's body. I looked at the golden cup and rubbed my eyebrows—did Marie only tell Dumbledore about the Horcrux?And she also found an excuse. It seems that she is quite sensible and didn't reveal everything in the original book—but how could she retain so much under the influence of Veritaserum?Did the Ravenclaw diadem modify her memory?The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and my head started to hurt. When I recovered, the conversation was over.

Mad-Eye Moody walked out of the room first, and he seemed to pause when his magic eye, which could only rotate in all directions, swept across me. I turned sideways in a daze to avoid Tonks who was following behind me, and accidentally bumped into my shoulder. What, turned around, only to see Snape squinting his eyes and staring straight at me, as if his gaze could penetrate the cloak of invisibility.

"Severus?" Professor McGonagall called strangely when he found him motionless.

"I'll go after that." Snape casually glanced at the golden cup that hadn't been taken back. After Professor McGonagall went out, he almost slammed the door against her back, and then pulled off my invisibility cloak!His towering figure loomed over me, and I backed away in panic until I came across an empty wine bottle, which fell to the ground and shattered.

"Mr. Potter... the golden boy who survived the catastrophe - so great that even the dementors of the Ministry of Magic don't look down on him! Violating the school rules to deceive the professor into the house and eavesdropping on secret meetings! Do you know how we treat this A kind of person?! Legilimency is nothing—you can’t be so cheap! How about Cruciatus first and then an Imperius Curse? Hold the Savior completely in the palm of your hand... Never worry about him doing all kinds of shitty things... ..." He pinched the invisibility cloak with two fingers as if he was carrying something dirty, and squeezed out words from between his teeth, "...Confiscated!"

"No!" I snatched back the invisibility cloak out of nowhere, and snarled at Snape under his astonished stare, "Severus? Snape! You don't mind always turning corners to protect others Are you tired?! Why can’t you care about me in a different way?!” I had to raise my head so hard to meet his gaze, I should have used ageing agent when I sneaked here, although I am still not as tall as him when I grow up, But at least there won't be such a strong sense of gap and oppression.

"I care about you?!" Snape viciously lifted my collar and pushed me on the sofa close to my face, "What... made your brain full of mandrakes come to such a conclusion?! It seems I should give you a bottle of life and death water so that you will not dream randomly during the day..."

"Dong dong dong" suddenly there was a strange knocking sound from the closed window, Snape took two steps back and raised his hand, and then a mass of black shadow rushed into the room through the open space and landed on his arm— —It's Aquila!

Snape took down the letter brought by Aquila, and the goshawk, who always had a noble and proud look, rubbed his slender fingers affectionately.I stared plaintively at Snape smoothing Aquila's feathers with a softness I'd never seen before, and my mind began to wonder when those hands would touch my face, my hair, my skin so tenderly... …

Oh no!I took a deep breath and stood up suddenly: "Half-blood Prince—Mr. HP!" Snape suddenly turned around and stared at me, and Aquila automatically flew to the clothes hanger beside him the moment he put down his hand and held the wand reflexively. squinting at us, "How long do you have to live in guilt before you can get out?! You know, sometimes I really want to give you a forget-it-all!—to make you forget Lily Evans, forget James Potter, even the damn Dumbledore and that soul-slicing lunatic - I want you to live only for me and think of me only at all times!!"

"...Potter you..."

I grabbed his arm almost frantically: "Damn it, don't call me Potter! You taught Harry for three years, you went to Knockturn Alley to buy props for Harry, and you didn't care about your own safety more than once. It was Harry! It was Harry who was saved by you feeding medicine in the secret room, and it is Harry standing in front of you now!!" The cold liquid slipped from the corners of my eyes, and I couldn't control my emotions. The grievances and boredom accumulated over the years I vented it all at once, I tried hard to see his face clearly, but my eyes were blurred, my forehead was constantly hurting, I fell into the sofa, blocked my eyes with my arms, as if my strength had been drained, and I was struggling to even breathe.

For a few seconds, tens of seconds or longer, there was no sound in the room, which made people panic.I let out a foul breath, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, professor... that gold cup has affected me too much... I've been with it for a few hours every night for a month, and it made me become more Getting more irritable...maybe it's because we're all Horcruxes." I stared at Hufflepuff's gold cup, not daring to see Snape's expression.

"Get...out..." Snape's emotionless voice echoed clearly in the air.

"Un?" I didn't respond.

"Isay...get, out!" He looked directly at me with empty eyes, and his tone was an order that could not be refused.

I froze for a while, then grabbed the invisibility cloak and walked quickly to the door, finally turned my head to look at the black figure, pushed the door and walked out.

"Harry, you're late! We've been waiting for you for half an hour!" After finding the appointed place, Ron complained impatiently to me who took off the invisibility cloak.

"Do you know we're worried about you? We thought..." Hermione scolded and looked around vigilantly in case anyone noticed my sudden appearance.

"It's okay, that secret passage is too long." I put away the invisibility cloak and smiled, while Draco looked at me thoughtfully, apparently not believing my explanation.I adjusted my expression and put my hand on his shoulder: "That secret passage is not only very long, but also very dirty. I have been groping inside for a long time. Think about it, no one has cleaned it for decades or hundreds of years..."

"Don't touch me!" Draco immediately threw off my paw and jumped to Hermione's side.

I smirked: "Don't worry, I've used several cleansing spells—you've been shopping for more than an hour, take me on a tour of Hogsmeade!"
