Chapter 44 A Conversation with Professor Snape

Chapter 44 A Conversation with Professor Snape

Snape showed a bit of contempt, "He thinks I haven't been to the Didong Auction, right? Young man?"

“The items he needs every month can be met by ordinary stores, and he also feels that serious people will not go there.

"Ignorance." Snape said disdainfully. "The Didong Auction is held twice a year. It attracts many wizards to attend. They will not change their addresses casually. What's more, at that time, no wizards knew how to handle hemp. The melon plague is serious.”

Does that make sense? Many Muggle plagues are not transmitted to wizards. Even if they are infected, they can be cured by various potions and magic.

As for the Didong Auction. He also understood that there was a gathering of all dark wizards in Britain. The location changed randomly every year, and only those wizards who had received invitations were eligible to participate.

The auction organization has a long history, and almost every minister of magic has tried to use that party to catch all the dark wizards, but without exception, none of them succeeded.

"Don't interrupt him again, young man," said Snape. "He doesn't want to waste his time on my ignorance."

"Please continue, Professor, he promises not to interrupt me again." Xing Ze made a gesture of pulling his mouth.

"In August and October, Eric wrote to ask for help. He said that he was being followed and that he always felt like someone was watching him. He could read his anxiety and uneasiness from the letter, but he did not go. He asked for help. There is no reason to go, their relationship is not that good. "

Very my style. Xing Ze smiled slightly.

"Then, in August and June, he wrote him another letter. His words were even more confusing than before, and some sentences were even written in Latin and runes. He firmly believed that he was being followed. , and soon began to experience hallucinations and hallucinations. He realized that his spirit was probably on the verge of collapse, but he still didn't understand why he asked Ming Hong to write to him for help, until..."

Having said this, Snape walked to his desk. He recited a spell, and a secret compartment opened on the desk. He took out two letters from it.

"He doesn't want to spend time telling me what he wrote. I can take the letter and read it myself." Siwaip handed the letter over, but when Xing Ze stretched his legs to get it, he took it back, "Wait a minute, young man Dumbledore trusts me, but he doesn't believe me, so if I want to report him in a letter, he advises me not to do so. "

"Who do I think he is, Professor." Xing Ze replied sincerely, "I know that he is different from those Aurors."

After saying that, Xing Ze stretched out his legs to take the letter and read it. After reading the first letter, he asked: "So what moved me to help?"

"The Shard," said Snape. "He mentioned the Shard in his second letter. Just before that, Ministers Fudge and Kingsley came to ask for Dumbledore's help. They mentioned that the Wells Government An infected person was captured and a red fragment was found..."

Xing Ze knew about that matter. Bishop Andrew had told him about it - the arrested person was a wizard antique collector, and they found him at Holyhead Port. At that time, he was delirious and his whole body was almost ulcerated. He wanted to take a boat to Ireland. The red fragment was hidden in his backpack.

What's disturbing is that the day after he was admitted to the hospital, he turned into a puddle of blood. To be precise, he was a twisted, semi-dissolved residue.

The nurse who had gone to take the temperature was so frightened that she lost her mind, and the doctor in charge was also frightened. Fortunately, the local pastor notified the church in time, and the matter was put aside.

It was then that the Ministry of Magic realized that the menacing plague also posed a threat to them.

"Eric, that poor fool." Snape's voice prompted Xing Ze to reply, "The moment he saw him, he knew it was red. He was haunted by evil spirits."

"Shall we meet in London?"

Although he was dissatisfied with Xing Ze's distraction and interruption, Siwaip still replied patiently: "Yes, he gave him an address and sent it together with the letter."

"Can he take a look?"

Snape hesitated, and he whispered: "Dumbledore asked him to do his best to cooperate with my investigation, young man. But so far, apart from seeing that I like to interrupt them to shut up and wander from time to time, he has not done anything. What a commendable place.”

"He thought I would slowly discover his strengths, so he just asked for some time."

"He doesn't think so."

"Can he see the address, Professor?"

Snape took out the piece of paper with the address from the same secret compartment. Xing Ze took it and while writing something in his notes, he asked: "Do I understand the dream, Professor?"

"Not much. But enough to tell if Eric is haunted by evil spirits."

"How to tell."

"He was holding the red fragment and mumbling words. His eyes were sunken and red. He probably hadn't slept much. Moreover, he had painted the room with strange symbols, including exorcism spells, isolation spells, and many more. He doesn’t know it. Well, those things that come from dreams are of little use.”

"I said he was mumbling something. What did he say?"

"Some illogical whispers, sometimes in English, sometimes in Latin, and more often than not he didn't know what language he was speaking. 'Come from the earth, he from the east of the earth calls him to go.'"

"kindness?"

"Coming from the earth, He called him from the east of the earth. Those were the only two words he could understand."

"Wait." Xing Ze hurriedly wrote down the two sentences in his notebook. Snap glanced at them and corrected them: "No to Him, not to him."

Facing Xing Ze's puzzled look, Snap explained: "He later found the two sentences on the wall, written in his own blood."

Although Xing Ze wanted to ask what that meant, he knew that Snap would not know.

They chatted for more than half an hour. As time went by, Snap's words became more and more sarcastic. Xing Ze ended the conversation tactfully.

In addition to Eric, he tried to find out about the Avery family, but Snap refused to say anything.

Before leaving, Xing Ze asked Snap for a letter to facilitate the investigation. He thought he would be rejected, but Snap gave him the letter without saying a word, as if he was eager for him to take the letter away.

On the way back to the dormitory, Xing Ze finished reading the second letter. As Snape said, the language in the letter was disorganized and illogical, but when it came to the red fragment, Eric's narration became very clear.

He spent a lot of money to buy the fragment from the auction and tried to extract the magic contained in it. But he didn't expect that there was something else in the fragment.

In the letter, he said that he was followed after leaving Digger Village, and later attracted the attention of the Auror, but those were far less frightening than the peeping from the darkness.
