Chapter 290 There Is Always Someone to Spend Christmas with Voldemort

"Fireplace?"

Hermione said enthusiastically: "Okay! Speaking of which, I haven't used the fireplace yet!"

"Fireplaces and Apparition are the most traditional ways of traveling in the magical world. If the distance is far, you can also use a door key." Andy explained.

Hermione said: "I saw the portkey in the book..."

Andy said: "The portkey experience is terrible, like there is a hook in your belly button..."

Harry looked at Andy and then back at Hermione. He found that he couldn't even get a word in.

On the thirteenth day of that year, at the school dinner, I stood there like a gangster.

Harry returned to the Gryffindor table angrily, turned around and started chatting animatedly with Ron.

Ron is better!

The dinner continues.

Andy and Hermione talked about the ways of traveling in the wizarding world to the scenery of Godric's Hollow, and then from the scenery of Godric's Hollow to Christmas gifts.

"Last Christmas, I gave Professor Snape a bottle of shampoo. But from the look on Professor Snape's face, you can tell that he hasn't used it." Andy said helplessly.

This professor is so difficult!

Hermione laughed when she heard this and said, "Shampoo is not expensive. Maybe the professor just doesn't like washing his hair."

Andy nodded thoughtfully, it makes sense!

"It seems that giving gifts this year requires more thought." Andy said.

Andy is also planning to let Snape act as a spy for him. Of course, giving gifts must be delivered to the other person's heart.

Hermione suggested: "I think you can give Professor Snape a bottle of basilisk blood."

"That makes sense!" Andy nodded.

Looking at Snape's look, you can tell that he has no extra hobbies except brewing potions.

"Speaking of which..."

While talking about Snape, Andy also glanced towards the professor's chair, "Professor Snape doesn't seem very happy!"

Hermione turned around and looked.

The atmosphere at the professor's chair is also very lively. The professors have been busy for several months and can finally take a good rest. Dumbledore was also smiling and chatting with Professor McGonagall, making Professor McGonagall laugh.

In this atmosphere, the eerie Snape seemed a bit out of place.

Andy continued: "Although Professor Snape is usually very gloomy, don't you think Snape's expression is a bit solemn? It's as if something is about to happen."

Hermione nodded and said, "He hasn't eaten much, he seems a little absent-minded."

Andy sighed inwardly.

Is there something going on at Hogwarts again?

After all, Snape was undercover with Voldemort. Others spent Christmas as a family, but Snape might have to spend the holiday with Voldemort this year.

Amitabha!

Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

As if aware of Andy and Hermione's gaze, Snape glared at them fiercely.

Andy quickly averted his gaze.

Snape was indeed in a bad mood.

And the fact is just as Andy guessed, others spend Christmas happily as a family, but he, Severus Snape, will spend the holiday with Voldemort this year.

No matter who this matter is placed on, I'm afraid they won't be in a good mood.

What's more, Voldemort might also issue him a mission.

Fortunately... things are a little different this year.

Diary, crown...

Two of Voldemort's Horcruxes had been destroyed.

Snape was hesitant. If he reported this information to Voldemort, it would definitely make Voldemort nervous.

Although Voldemort may be in a hurry to be resurrected by then, he may also tell Snape the location of a certain Horcrux and ask Snape to help him keep a Horcrux.

pick one of two!

It's just that this plan is too unsafe, and Snape doesn't think he has gained Voldemort's trust.

And the weak Voldemort would not trust anyone.

After learning that the Horcruxes had been destroyed, Voldemort was most likely to be in a hurry to resurrect and then kill Snape, the man who knew the secrets of the Horcruxes.

…

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended.

After the little wizards returned to their dormitories, Snape went to the eighth floor alone and walked into the principal's office.

"Severus..."

Dumbledore looked at Snape with a complicated expression.

The period before Voldemort's resurrection was probably the most difficult period for Snape. But if Snape survives this period, the impact on future situations will be staggering.

He will be the key to victory or defeat.

"Please sit down!"

Dumbledore asked slowly: "What would you like to drink?"

"Dumbledore!"

Snape had no appetite at all now, and he seemed a little impatient, "This is an opportunity! You know, my purpose of going undercover is to find out the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality."

"He won't trust anyone now." Dumbledore rejected Snape's plan without hesitation.

This plan is no longer as simple as taking a risk, it is simply courting death!

Dumbledore continued: "You can tell him about Malfoy, he needs help now."

Snape frowned slightly when he heard this, "Do you want Lucius to resurrect him?"

Before this, Voldemort was too weak to summon his old troops.

But things are different now.

Voldemort has already obtained Snape's "loyalty". Once Voldemort knows that Lucius Malfoy is still "loyal" to him, I'm afraid Voldemort will immediately plan to resurrect.

"If you want to gain his trust, you can't keep dragging it out."

Dumbledore said in a serious tone: "But I will destroy his plan and delay it for a while. And in this way, your importance will be greatly increased."

Snape pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

This is indeed a good idea.

Try a resurrection first, and when the resurrection fails, Voldemort will realize that if he wants to complete the resurrection plan, he must hide it from Dumbledore.

And Snape is the important chess piece that hides it from Dumbledore.

"I know!"

Snape responded, and then wondered: "Two Horcruxes are destroyed, can't the Dark Lord sense it?"

"I'm afraid so!" Dumbledore said.

Snape considered the whole plan in his mind, and when he found nothing missing, he was about to get up and leave when he saw Dumbledore open the drawer and took out the diary and the crown.

Is this the Horcrux?

Snape looked at it intently.

Dumbledore sighed and said slowly: "Horcruxes can avoid death, so strictly speaking, all Voldemort has to do is to reshape his body."

"And I happen to know a way to reshape his body."

"If Voldemort wants to use this method to reshape his body, then he will most likely let you take Harry out of Hogwarts."

Snape was shocked when he heard this.

This is indeed a tricky problem.

If Snape doesn't do it, then Voldemort will suspect him. But if he does it, then he should be "exposed" to Dumbledore.
