Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1374 What does he want to do

   "What exactly does Anderson want to do?"

If any students were here, it would be surprising that the new headmaster of Hogwarts, the notorious old Bat Severus Snape, was... actually listening to the daily broadcast from the Wizarding Lookout, and talking to The portrait of Dumbledore on the wall of the office discussing the content of the radio is completely out of touch with the old bat image in their minds.

  Dumbledore's portrait kept his eyes closed, not answering the new headmaster's question, as if it was really just a painting.

"The current situation is very bad. The Death Eaters suffered heavy losses in Hogsmeade. On the same day, Azkaban was led by Harry Potter to rob all the prisoners in the prison. This series of events completely angered the black people. Demon King, you also know that now whenever something happens, they will first think of Albert Anderson."

Snape turned off the radio and chatted to the portrait on the wall. He also had his own views on the situation, but the development of the matter made him more and more difficult to see through, forcing Snape to spend time talking to Dumbledore. Li Duo asked for advice to find out what that guy wanted to do, so that he would not accidentally fall into the pit.

   "Anderson is hiding, and the Death Eaters can't find where he's hiding, and there's nothing they can do about him."

Seeing that Dumbledore's portrait did not answer, Snape could only say to himself, "The Death Eaters are going crazy now, they are frantically looking for Anderson, and want to kill him in their dreams. For this reason, many Death Eaters have already Started hunting down anyone connected with him in the British wizarding world, trying to use dastardly means to force him out."

   "Are their brains collectively caught by the door?"

   muttered the red-nosed old wizard in the nearby portrait.

   "How can someone be so stupid? Don't they know the consequences of doing that? Or are the wizards in the British magic world a group of cowards who dare not even resist?"

  Snape didn't agree with Death Eaters doing that, and he didn't think similar methods could really effectively disintegrate the Defense Association, but he couldn't find any excuses against it. Kidnapping children and threatening relatives has always been effective, but now it's just the other way around.

   The Dark Lord even gave him the task of killing Albert, which would make him suspicious among the Death Eaters if he didn't actively pursue it.

  Snape's intuition told him that if he showed too much enthusiasm on this matter, he might die.

   He didn't believe that there was no spy for that guy among the Death Eaters.

  Anyone who tried to blackmail Anderson died a miserable death.

  Both Bella and Malfoy paid a terrible price for this.

   Without waiting for Dumbledore's words, Snape continued to talk about the despicable methods that the Death Eaters planned to use next. For example, arresting the family members of suspected members of the Defense Association to threaten them, such as arresting members of Dumbledore's Army hiding in the Room of Response in Hogwarts, and using Veritaserum for torture.

  Actually, the Death Eaters have done similar things, but this time it was even more tragic, because Yaxley even offered a Gallon reward, and it wouldn't be long before the entire British wizarding world would be thrown into chaos.

  After listening to Snape's words, the headmasters of all generations were extremely angry at Voldemort's chaos.

   "Anderson probably wants to take this opportunity to clean up most of the Death Eaters!" Dumbledore, who had been pretending to be asleep, finally opened his eyes.

  Clean up most of the Death Eaters?

  Snape carefully recalled the casualties of Death Eaters recently, and suddenly fell silent.

If Anderson really wants to get rid of the Death Eaters, he can do it by himself. No one is his opponent except the mysterious man. Once he starts killing people recklessly, all the Death Eaters will probably have to hide in their holes like mice. Li shivered.

   "Albert actually hates killing people."

  Dumbledore didn't answer Snape's question, but said to himself.

   Yes, Anderson hates killing, but that doesn't stop him from killing.

  In the past year, the number of Death Eaters killed far exceeded that of the previous few decades, and the second-generation Death Eaters who were in the same class as Snape were basically almost killed by him.

   "It's like he believes that the peace of the British wizarding world should be fought for by the British wizards themselves, instead of pinning their hopes on the children who have just grown up." Dumbledore's words made the principal's office fall into dead silence.

   "So, he intends to bring down all wizards in England."

   As soon as he said this, Snape realized something.

  If the Death Eaters continue to be unscrupulous, maybe that kind of thing will happen. British wizards are not cowards after all. When they can't bear it anymore, they will pick up their wands.

  "Yes, he had a similar idea before. If I hadn't died, then Scrimgeour would have mobilized the wizards of the British magic world to hang all the Death Eaters on the gallows."

   "He's already done that, and hundreds of dark wizards died because of it."

"That's just an appetizer. British wizards will be involved in this war, and they will use their wands to defend the peace they desire." Dumbledore looked a little disturbed, and murmured, "But I vetoed it." His proposal, because that would kill a lot of people, a lot of people."

   "But war is never a child's play, it kills people." Snape said suddenly.

"Yes, so he laughed at people for pinning their hopes on a savior, and instinctively hated it." Dumbledore looked at Snape and said, "You wonder what Anderson wants to do? He just wants to end the war, with his own Way."

   "How arrogant," Snape muttered.

"No, it's actually us who are arrogant." Dumbledore murmured, "If I hadn't flinched back then, perhaps the situation would have been much better than it is now. Those evil wizards would have died, and the werewolves who had been drawn in would have been killed. Complete hunting, the giants that come to England will also be completely extinct..."

  Dumbledore's whisper made Snape's hair stand on end.

  How many people have to die?

   "Is that possible?" Snape lowered his voice.

   "I don't know, but I backed down." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I don't want our decision to trigger that incident... I know I can't bear the weight of my life, and I don't want to..."

"You are afraid that he will become a terrible existence similar to the Dark Lord." Snape seemed to see through Dumbledore's mind, and laughed at himself, "In fact, he is now. Anderson has basically controlled all resistance against the Dark Lord." The power of the Demon King can easily make us all fools."

   "I think unity is more appropriate."

   "He's done better than the Dark Lord, and I wouldn't be surprised if people call him the White Lord someday," Snape sneered.

   "Are you blaming me for shrinking? That kind of accusation is too heavy for an old man." Dumbledore sighed, "Not everyone deserves to die, that's terrible."

   "What does he want to do now?"

  Snape suspected that the guy was planning some big conspiracy again.

   “He just wants those adults to take on their responsibilities, not kids who should be sheltered to take over the war.”

   "Adults taking their responsibilities?" Snape repeated.

   "The situation is probably as you think." Dumbledore said, "This is actually related to a prophecy."

   "What prophecy?" Snape asked warily. He was very vigilant about being tricked by the so-called prophecy.

   "The final decisive battle will break out at Hogwarts, and a large number of students will die in this battle. In order to prevent those children from dying, the best way is to bring in more helpers."

   "Really?"

  Snape felt that Dumbledore was not telling the truth, or only a little bit.

   "Isn't it?" Dumbledore asked rhetorically, "He asked the group of dark wizards abroad to make knives, so that the British wizards could see clearly the weak nature of the Death Eaters.

   "Those 28 wizards who were killed by Death Eaters may also let everyone see clearly the fate of not resisting."

   "I thought you would be disgusted that he directly sacrificed those people." Snape was a little surprised by Dumbledore's attitude towards this matter.

   "He just respects the fate of others."

   "Respect the fate of others?" Snape thought this was really absurd.

"Based on Anderson's behavior, they will probably remind them of the risks they may encounter after leaving the shelter, but how can they allow themselves to change from one cage to another when they are locked in prison? So they don't listen to the advice. He took the initiative to leave." Dumbledore recalled, "Albert once said that he would never save those who actively seek death."

"You really respect the fate of others." Snape twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said sarcastically, "I think other wizards will obediently follow his arrangement after going through this incident, and most of them will join the team against the Dark Lord Bar."

  Dumbledore didn't answer, but after the other portraits looked at each other, they suddenly felt that the title of the White Demon King might be correct.

   "When will this war end?"

   Snape asked the question he most wanted to know. This is very important, related to many of his next arrangements.

   "I don't know, I'm dead Severus, the follow-up plan is made by Anderson, only he knows the specific situation."

   "The Death Eaters will enter Hogwarts in two days, and they plan to attack Dumbledore's Army." Snape said suddenly.

   "Protect the children of the school, Severus, you promised me." The expression on Dumbledore's face became extremely serious.

"I will try my best to convince Yaxley to send the Aurors here, but you should talk to Anderson, I think if he is willing to cooperate, the situation may be much better." Snape did not believe that Dumbledore would I don't know, but this is a ruthless person who wants to plot against the Dark Lord even to death. He just didn't want to tell himself, which made Snape feel inexplicably irritable.

  Since the Dark Lord entrusted him with the task of killing Albert Anderson, Snape had a bad premonition that he might not live long.
