Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1422 Bad idea

   "The situation is not as bad as you think. Mr. Anderson is far worse than you think."

  The portrait on the wall looked at Snape for a moment, and comforted softly.

   "He pushed the Dark Lord too hard, which gave him a sense of crisis." Snape felt that the Muggle's bad luck was caused by Albert pushing Voldemort too hard.

  If they had been hiding quietly, perhaps there would not have been so many disputes.

   "This is just one of the reasons. The conflict between the two sides has been irreconcilable from the very beginning. You can't expect either side to give in, especially when the power of the mysterious people starts to decline, let alone expect them to back down."

"That…"

  Snape's words suddenly stopped, and he looked up at the familiar figure appearing from the rising forest green flames.

   "Good evening, sir!"

  After Malfoy came out of the fireplace, he reached out and patted the ashes on the cloak, and greeted Snape behind the desk.

   "What made you come to Hogwarts to find me." Snape asked with raised eyebrows.

"Pansy is pregnant, and we all hope that Mr. can become the godfather of the child." Draco Malfoy had a long-lost smile on his face. At this moment, the burden of the Malfoy family on him was relieved by Pansy's pregnancy. get set free.

"Congratulations."

  After Snape heard the news, there seemed to be a ripple on his expressionless face. He believed that his old friend Lucius would be very happy to hear the good news.

  At least, the Malfoy family no longer have to worry about the problem of the extinction.

   "Thank you, can you be the godfather of the child?" Malfoy didn't sit on the armchair Snape pulled out of thin air, staring at Snape directly, obviously hoping that Snape could become the godfather of the child.

   "I'm afraid not Draco, I'm not suitable." Snape seemed not to notice Malfoy's expectant gaze, and shook his head and refused.

   "We don't think anyone is more suitable than Mr.!"

  Malfoy is very aware of the help Snape gave him, and as Voldemort's right-hand man, it is obviously necessary to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

   "Let's talk about it later!"

  Snape hesitated for a moment, but finally did not directly refuse.

   Seeing that Snape didn't directly refuse, Draco couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he talked about another matter, about teaching the Death Eaters the Dark Arts.

  To be honest, Draco really couldn't understand why Snape would do such a stupid thing, after hesitating again and again, he still asked.

   "Sir, why did you take the initiative to mention this matter? You should know that it is impossible for other Death Eaters to want to go to class."

   "Someone should mention it." Snape's tone was very calm, as if he had done something for granted.

"But…"

"The gap is bigger than you think. The gap between the current Death Eaters and the members of the Defense Association formed by Albert Anderson is even bigger than you think." Snape looked up at the door , explained, "The two sides have confronted several times, and anyone who is not a fool should be aware of this. We are going downhill, and I have a hunch that if we don't do something, it will soon be bad luck. I Having taught Anderson for seven years, I know exactly what kind of guy he is. He is secretly brewing something. If we are not prepared, we will be gradually weakened and defeated by him. At that time, even the Dark Lord may not be able to restore the situation .”

  Draco was silent for a long time, and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

   "Not yet."

  Snape seemed to think of something suddenly, "However, you can come to the weekly black art exchange meeting. I don't know how many people will be willing to participate, but at least there is no harm in learning more about black art."

   "I'll go back, good night professor!"

   After slightly nodding towards Snape, Drake walked to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of Floo powder and sprinkled it into the fire, before disappearing into the rising forest green flames.

   "He's gone, come in!" Snape said suddenly.

   "Why didn't you agree?"

Yaxley pushed the door into the principal's office, looked up at Snape behind the desk and asked, "This kind of opportunity doesn't come often. However, the Malfoy family is lonely, and it's really embarrassing for him to need it at this age." Fight for your family."

   "It's definitely not why you came to me!" Snape didn't seem to want to discuss this topic, and directly asked the other party why he came.

   "The Dark Lord has agreed to hold the first black art exchange gathering himself." Yaxley told Snape the good news.

He actually agrees with Snape's point of view. Today's Death Eaters are too broken. When confronting the traitors of the Defense Association, although they are not close to collapse, they are actually almost the same. They are really useless. annoyed.

  He also heard that there must be a battle between Harry Potter and the Dark Lord, and he also thought it was a conspiracy by Anderson's Mudblood.

  But if a full-scale war breaks out between the two sides, can one side win?

  In the past, Yaxley would never have considered this stupid question, but now, after many confrontations with the Defense Association, he has realized the weakness of the Death Eaters, and this weakness was caused by that Mudblood.

   The guy is waiting patiently, ready to give them the coup de grace.

   "If it's in the name of the Dark Lord, other Death Eaters should come to participate, but it's hard to say what effect it will have." Snape was a little surprised that Voldemort would use this method to support himself.

   "Don't worry, as long as they are willing to communicate, they will definitely gain something. I believe that no one would like to be beaten down by those traitors." Yaxley comforted.

  No way, there are really not many reliable guys around, and the two of them are now sympathetic to each other.

   "One more thing, the Ministry of Magic's new policy is aimed at those wizard families who try to resist the Dark Lord!"

   Yaxley mentioned another reason for looking for Snape.

"Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, thinks that the entire British magical community should be investigated to see who has suddenly disappeared. You know, the group of people who joined the Order of the Phoenix and the Defense Association is definitely the group of people who disappeared for no reason." guy."

   "This is absolutely the worst idea I've ever heard."

  Snape was so shocked by Umbridge's death that he even began to wonder if that guy had been taken from his soul, so he would give them such a bad idea.

   "Is there a problem?" Yaxley was a little surprised by Snape's reaction.

   "Are you sure that won't push those neutral wizards to our opposition?"

"You should be very clear that our control over the British wizarding world is definitely not as secure as imagined. We know better which wizards the people who joined the Defense Association came from. Once the Ministry of Magic conducts a detailed investigation on them, many things will not be hidden. Wait, are you sure there will be no problems?" Snape said meaningfully, "We don't need to create a lot of enemies for ourselves."

"I have considered this issue, but we have to solve the problem of the Defense Association, at least let them give up, or take the initiative to surrender to us." Yaxley naturally thought about these issues, but that is not all The bad, at least potentially disintegrating the defense association.

   After all, they have families of their own, and kidnapping children to bring relatives into submission has always worked well, and it works in reverse, too.

   "This is a gamble, a crazy gamble." Snape frowned even deeper, "You should be very aware of the dire consequences of failure."

   "We need to curb the expansion of the Defense Association."

   "The number of the Defense Association has reached its limit. Most wizards are cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. We shouldn't force the wizards of the British wizarding world too tightly, as it will easily lead to problems."

"With the Dark Lord around, there will be no problems. All right, let's sort this matter out and let the Dark Lord make the final decision!" Yaxley also knew that he could not convince Snape , but he didn't want to get too stiff with the other party, and finally left the decision-making power to Voldemort. After all, the Dark Lord was the boss, and some things needed him to make decisions.

   "He's really a smart guy. However, I don't think the mysterious man would like to throw trouble to his boss's subordinates."

  A voice suddenly sounded, followed by Yaxley who suddenly fell down.

"who!"

  The sudden change startled Snape, he instinctively picked up the wand on the table, and was about to cast a spell towards the empty place ahead.

  However, the whole person seemed to be immobilized.

   "Don't get excited, Severus, I just came to talk to you, after all, what you have done really embarrasses me."
