Chapter 2472 Stalemate in the Hall

For the "symposium" that Hermione and Lupine were having in the small living room, Snape just leaned against the wall at the door and listened to it for a while, and soon he lost interest in listening any more, and he probably guessed After Hermione and the others made their plans, they turned around and left.

With Snape's wisdom, Hermione's words had roughly captured the plan of the compassionate lady know-it-all who was about to go to Germany to kill the "demon"—for Snape Well, there is obviously nothing wrong with this matter. After all, if Hermione and the others can restrain the expansion of the second battlefield, the teachers and students of Hogwarts, as well as Tia's side will be safer.

But at least until then, it was obvious that Hermione and Lupine's discussions about the plan had nothing to do with him. This time he came here in a hurry from France, not to discuss with those hot-headed adults and children in the hall how to risk their lives to save the world!

"Click, click, click..."

Snape's unique footsteps echoed faintly in the empty corridor, from the entrance of the small reception room on the first floor to the entrance hall, and stopped on the carpet in the middle of the entrance hall.

This was the second time Snape came here. When he first came here, he saw the existence hidden in the shadow of the corner in the deepest part of the hall. Since there is such a guard at the gate of the main hall, doesn't that mean that the "Lord of the Living Corpses" that Kingsley mentioned on the way here is probably inside the gate?

"Is your master there? I have something to do and I want to see him."

Snape looked at the figure looming in the shadows in the corner beside the door, and straightforwardly stated the reason for his presence here.

With his keenness, of course he could feel the cold, sharp and undisguised threatening aura coming straight from the opponent's eyes, but he didn't seem to notice it at all, just looked at the opponent expressionlessly, waiting Let the other party give a reply.

After staring at each other for a while, a somewhat late cold answer came from the shadow beside the main hall door:

"The master is not something anyone can see if he wants to."

It can be said that every word of this answer clearly reveals a strong taste of rejection, mixed with almost overflowing impatience, which seems to want Snape to retreat in the face of difficulties.

But now that Snape has come here, how can he leave easily?

Seeing that his expression did not change at all, he was still staring directly at the shadow with that face, and without thinking about it, he spoke again:

"No problem. But if you can, you might as well tell your master for me first,

Let's say I'm Severus Snape—maybe it's not me who wants to see your master, but your master who wants to see me? "

The voice fell slightly, and there was another moment of silence. Snape didn't seem to care much about this stalemate that seemed to freeze the air, and just waited quietly for a while.

On the other hand, it may be due to consideration of the owner's attitude towards these human wizards; or because the human being is so persistent, maybe there is something important to tell the master, and rejecting the other party completely may damage the master instead. thing. So after thinking about it for a while, even though he still didn't want the human in front of him to disturb his master at all, he still took a step back and said:

"I remember your name. When I see the master, I will report it for you. You can go now."

The other party's words were heard in his ears, still very dry and blunt, and the wording seemed unfamiliar, but Snape still quickly understood the meaning of the other party. Obviously, the "lord of the living corpse" is probably out of the house temporarily, and is not in the main hall.

Then, it is definitely not a problem to wait here, and there is no point in staying in the hall.

"it is good."

Snape thought for a while, then nodded slightly, and then turned around decisively and left through the corridor door on the other side without dragging his feet.

...

In the small living room, Hermione and the others discussed with Lupine, Kingsley and the others for a long time. During the period, Hermione asked Ginny, Hannah and the others to go to the restaurant and asked for some food for Lupine and the others. Filled the stomach. But to be honest, Hermione and his party's itinerary for the Second Battlefield definitely couldn't be settled immediately, until everyone realized that there was nothing more to discuss about the current business, and finally temporarily suspended the discussion.

"...Everyone can take a rest here first! As I said just now, the living corpse side is still friendly at present, and there is no threat to us. You can rest assured to sleep here."

When discussing the business just now, Hermione was in high spirits almost every second, because she was very clear about the importance of what everyone was discussing. But now, she has obviously relaxed a lot, and even the frown has been slightly relaxed.

But seeing Lupine on the opposite side, he still said very seriously:

"After all, they are living corpses. Even if they can get along with each other temporarily, it is only on the surface. It is best not to relax."

"I can understand your thoughts, but... well, forget it, I think you will probably understand soon." Hermione didn't make the words too clear, but after mentioning this sentence, she suddenly changed the topic and turned her head He looked at the door and said, "By the way, where did Professor Snape go?"

Although Hermione managed to invite him here after catching up with Snape, who was one step ahead, and wanted to let the other party participate in this discussion, but Snape, who only stayed by the wall at the door, obviously didn't like it from the very beginning. A little absent-minded.

Of course, Hermione and the others were well aware of the character of the professor who had been with him for many years, so even though they noticed that the other party left midway, they did not try to stop him—everyone knew that few people could persuade him to act. living.

Fortunately, everyone knew that even if Snape's temper was really bad, with his excellent mind, probably he wouldn't cause any trouble in today's London.

It wasn't until now that the discussion about serious matters finally came to an end that Hermione began to care about the other party's whereabouts.

In fact, Hermione and the others were also very curious, what exactly was Snape doing here? Based on everyone's understanding of him, if there is no urgent matter, it may be impossible to come all the way.

Well, at least it is definitely not like Lu Ping and others who made a special trip to pass on information and discuss follow-up plans for these "pioneers" who are working hard. Snape probably had his own purpose in coming here.

"It seems...to go back." Ron, who was sitting with his father and Ginny near the door, recalled for a while, "I heard his footsteps leaving at that time."

"The hall?" Hermione couldn't help pursing her lips slightly upon hearing this.
