Chapter 836 Helpless Snape
Mag's words reminded everyone present.
Moody, Sirius and Lupine immediately turned to look at Snape. They all knew that Snape was an undercover agent sent by Dumbledore to Voldemort.
Although the former Death Eater's loyalty was questionable, he was the only one who might have some clues.
Ivan also looked over, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
Before sending Dumbledore's body back to Hogwarts, he had already tested Snape's reaction, but Ivan was not sure whether the other party would suddenly counterattack at this time.
Under the gaze of everyone, Snape was silent for a while, then took a deep look at Ivan and said.
"Halse is right. Dumbledore has been looking for something hidden by the Dark Lord in the past few months. This is indeed related to the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality..."
Listening to Snape's words, Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that things would not develop to the worst.
However, before Ivan could completely relax, Moody asked aggressively. "But didn't you tell us before that you didn't know Albus' whereabouts at all? Severus?"
"That was Principal Dumbledore's order. He asked me to conceal this matter and not tell anyone...I just followed his order." Snape explained calmly.
"Are you saying that Albus hid this from all of us and only told you about this?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help but raise her tone a bit, and she looked extremely surprised, and her words were full of doubts. color.
Sirius also said firmly. "This is impossible!"
"But that's the fact. It's obvious that Dumbledore thinks I'm more trustworthy than you..." Snape said with a hint of sarcasm.
Lupin and Moody glared at Snape, and Sirius even pulled up his sleeves as if he wanted to punch him hard.
Snape seemed to know that if he continued like this, he might be beaten, so he spoke again before everyone's tolerance reached the limit. "Because I saved his life and let him live a little longer..."
Sirius and others were stunned, and Professor McGonagall hurriedly asked. "What did you say? You saved Albus?"
Snape did not answer the question immediately, but changed the subject. "Three years ago, there was a riot in Hogwarts. You should still remember this, right?"
McGonagall, Flitwick and Madam Pince nodded.
Although Sirius and the others were not at Hogwarts at that time, they had probably heard of this incident.
Ivan said with lingering fear. "Yes, it was Voldemort's fault that time! He controlled Lockhart through a powerful dark magic item, and even I was deceived by him..."
Snape's face became a little weird. He seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.
Lu Ping comforted him. "It's not your fault, Hals. You were so young at the time that even an adult wizard couldn't resist the magic of You-Know-Who."
Sirius agrees with this very much. When he destroyed the pendant in the old Black house, he was once influenced by Voldemort's Horcrux and almost made a big mistake.
Probably unable to bear the awkward feeling, Snape quickly continued to speak.
"In short, after that time, Dumbledore discovered the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality, which was probably related to those powerful dark magic items, so he has been tracing the whereabouts of those items..."
"About a year ago, he successfully found one of the dark magic items hidden by the Dark Lord. However, when destroying the item, he unfortunately triggered the trap set by the Dark Lord."
"Dumbledore was seriously injured at the time and almost died. I brewed a potion that temporarily suppressed his injury..." Snape said slowly. "He needed me to stay alive, and he also needed me to provide him with information about the Dark Lord, so he told me a lot of things."
"Albus was so seriously injured more than a year ago? Why didn't he tell us directly?" McGonagall frowned and asked.
"Tell you, how can you help?" Snape said coldly. "He doesn't want you to get into trouble, and he doesn't want the Ministry of Magic and the Dark Lord to know that he's in a bad state..."
Mag, Sirius and others suddenly choked.
Dumbledore is recognized as the strongest white wizard in the wizarding world, and his level of magic is unmatched by anyone. Although Snape does not like them, his level of potions is unquestionable.
If even two people can't break the mysterious man's magic, then together they can't do it either.
"That's all I know. Principal Dumbledore has rarely contacted me this school year, but I think he is probably planning to do something for the wizarding world while he can still move..." Snape Finally added.
Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix fell completely silent. Based on Ivan's words just now, they had figured out the true story of the matter.
Dumbledore must have wanted to find and destroy all the dark magic items made by the mysterious man while he could still suppress his injuries.
But unfortunately, the mysterious man was probably aware of this. For some unknown reasons, they met and had a big battle. Dumbledore fought back Voldemort with difficulty, but the injuries he had barely suppressed before exploded.
"Poor Albus, he shouldn't have put all the dangerous things on his shoulders... We can also help find the whereabouts of those dark magic items." Professor McGonagall sighed.
She knew very well that it was definitely a very dangerous job, otherwise Dumbledore would not have died tragically, but they were not afraid of sacrifice. Dumbledore had already paid enough for the magical world.
"Thank you very much for telling us this, Severus..." Moody said soothingly, but quickly changed his tone and said again. "But how do you prove that what you are telling the truth?"
"Alastor, we shouldn't doubt him so much..." Lupine frowned dissatisfied.
"Don't forget, when the mysterious man attacked the Ministry of Magic last time, Severus didn't give us any warning!" Moody interrupted Lupine's subsequent words.
Because the Dark Lord never attacked the Ministry of Magic at all! Snape almost didn't lift it up in one breath, and his expression almost became tense.
He glanced at Ivan with great resentment, and then explained helplessly.
"Voldemort doesn't trust me very much, probably because he found out that there were traitors among the Death Eaters and was afraid that I would reveal the news to you..."
Moody thought for a while but did not refute. Snape often stayed at Hogwarts, and no one was sure which side he was on.
Voldemort had set up such a big trap and was only a few steps away from capturing the Ministry of Magic and realizing his evil plan to rule Britain, so he had to be careful.
In fact, just as Snape said, Lucius's betrayal disrupted Voldemort's well-laid plan, which directly led to the death of a large number of elite Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic.
Perhaps because he was worried about being asked about unreasonable things again, Snape dropped another shocking news.
"As far as I know, Dumbledore made a will before his death, which was stored in Gringotts in the form of a magical contract. It will probably be officially announced in a few days..."
