Chapter 426 Secret Conversation in the Underground Classroom

After class, Ada received zero points as expected because her cauldron was emptied and the remaining time was not enough for her to complete the production again. She could only hand in a semi-finished product.

It has to be said that in addition to being a master of potions, Snape may also be a master of time management, and he knows time very accurately. Empty the cauldron and leave Ada a lot of time to start over, but in fact it's not enough at all.

Give you hope first, and then let you slowly experience despair. When the bell rang for get out of class, you could only sigh at the unfinished potion.

The classroom door opened, and seven or eight students rushed out. They didn't want to stay in the smoky underground classroom for a moment.

After packing up her belongings, Ada slowly walked out of the classroom. From her experience, she must not run, as the more she runs, the hotter she will get. Moreover, exercise will increase the amount of sweating, and when the time comes, your body will be sticky, which will be even more uncomfortable.

Taking her time, Ada was the last student to leave the classroom. When she walked out of the classroom, the shadows of other students were invisible.

There was only one person in the corridor outside the classroom, Igor Karkarov. This was not the first time Karkaroff came to see Snape. The first time he came to see the Potions Master was in April.

When he first came to Hogwarts, Karkaroff gave Ada the feeling of being arrogant, like a shark that moved at the smell of fish. But then Karkaroff was criticized by Mad-Eye Moody, but he dared not speak out.

Tough in appearance and soft in heart, this is Ada's new evaluation of Karkaroff. He looks tough on the outside but is actually weak on the inside. And so it is.

Since April, Karkaroff's face has lost its previous calmness. Every time he comes to see Snape, his face becomes more restless.

At this moment, Karkaroff was leaning against the wall, curling his goatee with his fingers. The calm look on his face had long since disappeared, and he was just using his habitual movements to comfort his panicked heart.

Seeing Ada leaving and no one coming out behind her, Karkaroff immediately walked into the underground classroom and closed the classroom door.

On a hot day, two men closed the door and talked secretly in the room. A hot pot feast had just been held in this room. Aren't they hot?

In the classroom, Karkaroff said in a panic: "Severus... you can feel it, right? Teach me what I should do!"

"Open the classroom door, Igor, it's very hot," Snape said impatiently.

"Severus, help me, help yourself!" Karkaroff said, his words sincere. "He is getting stronger every day. It is becoming more and more obvious every day. You know what this means."

Snape still had an impatient look on his face, and he waved his hands to fan the wind, but this action was more like shooing away flies. He said: "Open the door, Igor. Are you afraid that others won't know what you came to talk to me about?"

"No one, I've seen it, there is no one outside!" Karkaroff said, "Don't run away, Severus, running away won't solve any problems! You and I, we, we have to face this problem."

Karkaroff walked around the classroom, the hot weather making his heart even more confused. Karkaroff suddenly walked up to Snape, pulled his sleeves apart suddenly, and said,

"It's getting clearer and clearer, and I even occasionally feel it burning my body. Think about it, how he will treat us when he comes back, how he will treat us who betrayed him!"

Snape took two steps back in disgust and said in his unique tone: "I am different from you, Igor. I will not betray my colleagues."

The expression on Karkaroff's face changed suddenly, as if he thought Snape's words were too ridiculous. He argued loudly: "You don't really regard those people at Hogwarts as your colleagues, do you? Do you think Dumbledore will continue to trust you?"

"Don't forget your identity!" Karkaroff said every word. As he spoke, he pressed Snape step by step.

Snape continued to back away, annoyed by Karkaroff's approach. He said again: "I am not like you, Igor. I will not betray my colleagues."

"You are still as slippery as before. Yes, it was precisely because of your slippery hands that Dumbledore helped you escape from trial." Karkaroff backed away dejectedly until he met a table Just stopped.

Karkaroff's voice became weaker and weaker, and he continued: "I know that he will be back soon, and I also know how cruel he is to the traitors. I may be the first, and you will never escape."

Karkaroff no longer approaches Snape, but now Snape approaches Karkaroff.

He walked to Karkaroff and said slowly: "This is the difference between you and me, Igor. I know he will come back, and I am always waiting for that day to come."

Karkaroff, who was leaning on the table, turned pale instantly, as if he was frightened and in disbelief.

He stumbled and said, "It's impossible... There's no reason, it's impossible... How could he trust you and still help you like that!"

Snape continued to approach, forcing Karkaroff to look him in the eyes, and he continued: "Igor, don't compare yourself to me, you don't deserve it. Death is the best end for you!"

The Potions Professor's persecution made Karkaroff even more panicked. A large amount of sweat dripped from his forehead. His eyes were dull and he murmured: "It's impossible...there's no reason..."

Snape let go of Karkaroff, who backed away again. He has said everything that needs to be said and done everything that needs to be done. The rest depends on what Karkaroff will choose.

Having said that, Snape had no expectations for Karkaroff. The man in front of him, the headmaster of Durmstrang, was a coward.

The panicked Karkaroff leaned on the table absentmindedly, mumbling to himself. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at Snape in horror, and then he ran out of the classroom in a panic.

Uneasiness and fear filled Karkaroff's heart. He pushed open the classroom door and breathed in the air outside, as if he had just been in the same room with some monster.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Karkaroff, who was still breathing heavily, struggled to stand up straight, held on to the wall of the castle, and left quickly without looking back.

Behind him was Snape, who was standing at the door of the classroom watching him.

Snape stood at the door of the classroom, neither returning to the underground classroom nor leaving.

After a while, Snape said softly: "Come out, stop hiding."

The corridor was quiet and there was no one around. When Karkaroff rushed out of the door just now, he didn't see a single person. Who was Snape talking to?

As soon as the words fell, Ada walked out of the corner like a chameleon. She reached out and patted her forehead to release her phantom spell.

Eavesdropping was a bad thing, but Ada really wanted to know why Karkaroff was so panicked and what he was going to do.

So Ada pretended to leave here and deceived Karkaroff. When it was estimated that the time was almost up, she turned back and put her ear against the door of the underground classroom.

Seeing Snape take out his wand, Ada also put her hands behind her back.

Ada believed in Snape. If she wanted to take action, Snape could directly carry out a sneak attack without exposing herself or letting herself show up. This is not much easier than calling yourself out and facing 1v1.

"Did you all overhear it?" Snape asked.

"Absolutely, I heard the main content clearly." Ada replied, and the hand behind her back clenched the wand.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others. Although Ada believed in Snape, she should not be completely defenseless. Snape's words just now not only frightened Karkaroff, but also shocked Ada who was eavesdropping.

"What did you hear?" Snape continued, still holding his wand.

"Who is he? Who is he? What does it refer to?" Ada asked, asking instead of answering. This is what she heard, and she also thought of the answer, but she still had to verify it.

"That's quite true." Snape nodded, "Have I ever said that your curiosity will eventually kill you?"
