Chapter 837 Snape: It’s so Difficult for Me
"Will?" Professor McGonagall looked at Snape in shock, but quickly recovered.
Since Principal Dumbledore knew that he was about to die soon, of course he would arrange all subsequent matters in advance.
Sirius and the others who also realized this immediately relaxed a lot from their tense expressions.
The news of Dumbledore's death came so suddenly that they were at a loss. They had no idea what to do next and how to fight against the mysterious man.
Now that they have a will, at least they won't be clueless anymore.
But this is not good news for Ivan, because he is not sure what kind of information Dumbledore will leave in his will, whether it will be detrimental to him or beneficial...
"How many things are you hiding from us, Severus?" Moody looked at Snape and said rather dissatisfied.
"In fact, I don't know any more than you do..." Snape shook his head and continued. "Even if I don't tell you about the will, you will know it in a few days..."
…
After successfully dispelling the doubts of Moody and others with Dumbledore's will, Ivan finally got rid of the dilemma of being chased by everyone in the Order of the Phoenix.
In view of the unexpected news revealed by Snape this time, Ivan temporarily gave up the idea of leaving school directly. When saying goodbye to Sirius and others, he winked at Snape alone, and then Walk towards the top of the tower.
Walking all the way to the rooftop, Ivan waited patiently for a while. About ten minutes later, Snape opened the door and walked in.
"What's the matter with coming to me specifically? Hals?" Snape asked.
Ivan did not answer immediately, but gently waved his wand to erect a sound barrier around him, and then spoke.
"I didn't expect you to speak for me just now..."
"I have no choice, don't I? Black and that werewolf Lupine trust you so much, even if I say something, they may not be willing to believe it." Snape narrowed his eyes slightly and explained slowly.
Of course, the more important thing is that he is very clear about the current situation.
Even though the Order of the Phoenix had a large number of people just now, Snape was very sure that all of them combined could not be Ivan Hals's opponent. Making a choice between life and death was not that difficult...
"Sometimes there is no choice, which is the best choice... But you should tell me that you just spoke for me specifically. Maybe I will be extra grateful to you..." Ivan said jokingly.
"Compared to these illusory things, I believe in some real exchanges..." Snape replied calmly.
"So it seems that you also know some interesting information?" Ivan raised his eyebrows.
"The Dark Lord...you want to find his hiding place, right?" Snape said with certainty. Now that Dumbledore is dead, the only person in the British wizarding world who may threaten the other party is Voldemort.
Ivan did not refute this and nodded directly. "Yes, do you know where he is hiding? Or who is the secret keeper of that place?"
As early as half a month ago, Ivan had learned about Voldemort's current situation from Lucius and others, so he also knew that the Dark Lord was hiding under the protection of the Loyalty Curse.
However, due to the limitations of this spell, neither Lucius nor Crabbe could directly tell the specific location of that place.
"I don't know yet, but I may be able to find it... After all, there are not many people the Dark Lord can trust now..."
Speaking of this, Snape felt somewhat emotional.
The famous Dark Lord, the most powerful in the British magic world... Oh, no, the dark wizard who should be the second most powerful now has fallen to such a miserable state.
There are only twenty Death Eaters left under his command, and they all have their own ideas and plots to rebel...
"In other words, do you plan to continue to be a Death Eater delivering information about the Dark Lord for me, just like you did when you were with Principal Dumbledore?" Ivan looked at Snape carefully.
"You can think so." Snape said, paused, and then pleaded. "In exchange, I hope you can clear my identity after killing the Dark Lord..."
"This is natural!" Ivan nodded and agreed directly. "When the time comes, you will be the biggest contributor to defeating the Dark Lord!"
"That's no need. I just hope that I can live a normal life without being disturbed in the future..." Snape said noncommittally.
Ivan smiled and did not respond. Instead, he deflected his words and asked. "Since you are working for me now, it just so happens that I have something that I need you to answer truthfully."
Snape looked at Ivan in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
"What did Principal Dumbledore do in the past few months when he disappeared? In addition, did he ask you anything in particular?" Ivan said word by word, his eyes fixed on Snape's every move. He seemed to want to see something from his face.
Dumbledore's behavior has been a bit strange recently, especially this semester. Except for the first day of school, there is no sign of the principal in Hogwarts.
Dumbledore even ignored the Ministry of Magic's impeachment of his parliament. It was difficult for Ivan to imagine what could make the white wizard push aside all important work.
If it was in the original time and space, it could still be explained by searching for the whereabouts of Horcruxes, but now that Voldemort has been beaten to the point of being almost autistic, Ivan does not believe that Dumbledore will still be so interested in Horcruxes.
What puzzles Ivan the most is the strength Dumbledore showed during yesterday's duel, which can only be described as outrageous!
Even when he voluntarily gave up the Elder Wand and suffered serious injuries, Dumbledore was able to suppress himself steadily.
This far exceeded Ivan's greatest expectations for Dumbledore's strength!
If the most powerful white wizard really had such terrifying strength, then when they met Voldemort at the end of last school year, the two of them could have easily captured Voldemort alive and brought him to the Ministry of Magic for trial in public.
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at Snape, the only person who might know the truth!
Under the pressure of Ivan's vague momentum, Snape spoke with great difficulty. "Hals, I have already explained before. I really don't know the whereabouts of Principal Dumbledore. He has never contacted me actively during this period of time!"
"Really?" Ivan was dubious. He knew how much Dumbledore trusted Snape. If the other party left any back-up, Snape would definitely be one of the insiders.
Ivan's questioning gaze made Snape feel very helpless. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he spoke again.
"By the way, there is one thing I can tell you. The potion I brewed for Principal Dumbledore on a regular basis had completely expired before the summer vacation last school year. Normally, he would never have been able to sustain it for so long."
