Chapter 604 Leaving Hogwarts? Sign a letter of guarantee
Shenming Temple.
Aaron and his thought body sat around a stone table with Snape, Sirius, and Moody.
"Professor Snape." Aaron calmly poured himself a cup of tea. "You spent more than two hours to visit my Temple of the Gods. What do you think?"
"Great." Snape praised sincerely, "You are worthy of being my student."
"You are really good at flattering yourself." Sirius said sarcastically, "You have been a professor for many years. You have at least 800 students. You won't only remember him, right?"
"Okay! He is worthy of being an excellent student of Slytherin." Snape looked at Sirius, "Are you satisfied with this?"
"Humph!" Sirius retorted unyieldingly, "As far as I know, the mysterious man is also an excellent student of Slytherin."
"Tsk! If you are envious, just say it. I won't laugh at you."
"You..."
"Okay." Moody tapped the cane in his hand, " Now is not the time for you to be angry. "
"Aaron, does bringing Severus here mean that you are going to take action?"
"What else?" Aaron spread his hands, "I plan to leave Hogwarts tomorrow to help Harry and the others find the Horcruxes."
"Leave tomorrow?" Sirius was a little surprised, "Isn't this too sudden?"
"This is a decision I made after careful consideration. Staying in Hogwarts is inevitably passive."
"But Hogwarts cannot be Apparated." Snape frowned, "There are also dark wizards and Dementors monitoring outside the castle. If you want to leave, you can only go through the teleportation array."
"That's a waste. It's not difficult for me to leave Hogwarts." Aaron said lightly. The Disillusionment Charm plus the illusion will not be discovered even under the noses of dark wizards.
As for the Dementors... With his flying speed, he can get rid of them in the blink of an eye.
"After I leave, my clone will stay in Hogwarts instead of me to confuse Amycus and Alecto."
"In a sense, I am the same person as my original body, and no one will find the flaw." The thought body said confidently.
Snape and the other two nodded in unison, and they had no doubt about this.
"Professor, I need your help to do something after I leave, which is also the main purpose of calling you here today."
"What is it?"
"Amycus and Alecto will hurt students more and more in the future, and it will be difficult to stop them even if you are the principal."
Hearing this, Snape opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
Voldemort sent the Carrow brothers and sisters to help promote educational reform. If the progress is not satisfactory to him, they will definitely be punished.
In this situation, all he can do is to save the students' lives, but some physical pain is inevitable.
"I hope you can pay more attention to the students, and make a list of the students who can't hold on. My clone will find a chance to take these students to the Temple of the Gods for protection."
Snape hesitated, "Isn't this too risky?"
"What's risky about this?" Sirius sneered, "Aaron told us before that the Temple of the Gods will be a shelter hidden under Hogwarts.
You have also visited it. The food here is enough to supply hundreds of people for several years. The defense is even more indestructible, and there is also a large teleportation array.
Even if this configuration is really discovered, it can be evacuated calmly."
"The reduction in the number of students will "It's not a big deal if one or two students are missing, but the disappearance of more than a dozen or even dozens of students is no small matter."
"It's time to test you." The thought body smiled meaningfully, and then flicked a silver Sickle on the table, "If they come to you because of the missing students, I will know by changing the number on it."
"Is this reliable?" Snape picked up the silver Sickle and asked with some doubt, "Even if you know, how can you help me?"
"Use it here." The thought body tapped his temple with his index finger, without opening his mouth to speak, but Snape could hear his voice clearly.
"This..." Snape's pupils slightly dilated, "What kind of magic is this?"
"Long-distance telepathic communication." The thought body explained concisely, "I will guide you to speak when the time comes, and I should be able to fool you."
"It's a good idea, but..." Snape hesitated, "But I'm worried that this won't last long."
"My memory is connected to my original body. I will control the delay time according to the progress of the overall plan. I can use the Imperius Curse when necessary."
"You make it sound so easy."
The thought body shrugged, pulled out a white wand and pointed it at the table.
Slytherin's locket and Ravenclaw's diadem then appeared in front of him.
"Slytherin's locket was found at No. 12, Grimmauld Place. More than a decade ago, Regulus Black desperately asked Kreacher to take it out.
I found the Ravenclaw diadem in the Room of Requirement. I have to admit that Voldemort is very good at hiding things.
And these two are..."
"Horcruxes." Snape looked at Aaron in shock, "Your efficiency will make Dumbledore feel ashamed."
"That's called skill. Of course, I don't deny that luck is involved.
Tom Riddle's diary and the Gaunt family ring have been destroyed. With the locket and the diadem, Voldemort's only Horcruxes outside are..." The thought body paused for a moment, and glanced at Sirius and Moody, "The python beside him and the Hufflepuff cup.
According to Dumbledore's plan, I only need to help Harry and the others find the cup and then we can prepare for the decisive battle."
"I see, which means I won't have to delay for too long." Snape breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, that's Dumbledore's plan, but not mine. "Aaron said seriously, "When it comes to that, I will be the first to bear the brunt, so I need as much time as possible to prepare."
Snape thought of Aaron's conversation with him and Dumbledore's portrait in the principal's office a few days ago, and his face became a little more tangled.
After the soul in Harry's body was destroyed by Voldemort, Aaron would probably face a large army of Death Eaters, and none of the preparations he had to make were simple.
"How long do you need?"
"Of course the more the better."
"You know this is impossible."
"As short as half a year, as long as a year."
"I'll try my best!" Snape nodded heavily.
"Thank you for your understanding, professor.
When everything is settled, I will bring Harry Potter to you and make him kneel down to apologize."
"Ahem!" Sirius coughed in dissatisfaction, "Harry's godfather is still here!"
"If you are not here, Harry will have to kowtow again. "
Sirius:......
"We signed a contract. When will you realize this?" Moody said tiredly.
"Professor." Aaron looked at Snape and said meaningfully: "I will help them find the Horcruxes, but I will only destroy the locket, the crown and the golden cup after I am fully prepared."
"Do you want to control the time when Voldemort finds out that the Horcruxes have been destroyed?"
"Yes." Aaron said undeniably, "I have interrogated the soul fragments in the locket. If more than half of the Horcruxes are destroyed, the main soul may find something abnormal."
"Okay! I won't ask any more questions.
In short, my mission is to protect the students of Hogwarts."
"If there is anything else I need to do, you can discuss with my clone, he can communicate with me at any time."
Snape couldn't help but look at the thought body again and sighed: "What a magical magic."
"Then what can we do? "Sirius asked.
"Dig out the dormitory first." The thought body said unhappily, "It's been several days, and you two have only made your own room. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"We are not you." Sirius said guiltily, "We don't have your ability to dig holes."
"Is this a reason?" Aaron cursed indignantly, "I didn't save you to let you eat for free."
"Okay, stop talking, let's speed up the progress." Moody said helplessly.
......
The next day.
Aaron returned to the dormitory after breakfast and put his luggage, money, food, and necessary daily necessities into his backpack.
"Are you leaving so early?" Claire asked a little jealously, "To protect Hermione, right?"
"Before going to find her, I still have some personal matters to do?" Aaron said bluntly, "I think Sirius and Moody are not very reliable. I need trustworthy helpers, and... loyal and capable servants. "
"You can let your clone do these things. Don't you have the same abilities?"
"That's true, but the clone's magic power cannot be over-consumed. It's safer for him to stay in Hogwarts." Aaron grabbed her hand and said patiently, "Don't be jealous. Each of you is very important to me, but you are the first from any angle."
"Such sweet talk doesn't work on me." Claire raised her eyebrows and smiled, "But I can still pretend to believe you, who makes me your fiancée!"
"That's just what our parents and elders tacitly agreed to. In fact..."
"Hmm? Do you have any objections?"
"No, how could there be any?" Aaron said embarrassedly, "It is my blessing to marry a girl like you who is well-educated, beautiful, and considerate. "
"Good to know."
"But Miss Claire, you are still four months away from adulthood! "
Claire's expression froze, and she said seriously: "Then you must wait for me. Take care of yourself before that. If I know that you and Granger first..."
"Stop." Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Do I make you worry so much?"
"Nothing is absolute in love. I have confidence in you, but I don't have confidence in accidents."
"I promise, there will be no accidents." Aaron said with a solemn oath.
"Your words don't count." Claire snorted lightly, picked up Abe and sat on the bed, "A man and a woman who love each other in the wild are like dry firewood and ignite at a touch.
That's what it says in the book, not to mention that you haven't seen each other for so long."
Hearing this, Aaron was silent for a while, and then laughed dumbly: "Reading too many books is not a good thing. I actually saw a hint of nervousness on your face."
"How funny." Claire looked at Aaron with her beautiful big eyes, "It's a problem if you don't get nervous about this kind of thing!
Your position in my heart is the most important, I can pretend I don't care, but I can't deceive myself that I feel uncomfortable. "
"Ha!" Aaron laughed, his cheeks slightly red, and then said in the most gentle tone in the world, "Then I can let my clone go, right!"
"Is there any difference?" Claire asked back, "Your clone is the same as the original body, a person with flesh and blood, emotions and soul, but with defects in magic supply.
I'm just complaining. If you really let your clone go, it would be irresponsible to Hermione in an emergency."
"Then what do you want me to do?" Aaron spread his hands and threw the question to Claire.
"It's very simple." Claire smiled casually, "Isn't Gaius best at contracts? Just write me a letter of guarantee."
Aaron was stunned for a moment, "When did you have this idea?"
"Last summer vacation, after Ollivander brought Fleur to Gaius Castle." Claire said with a smile.
Huh!
Aaron took a deep breath, "What do you want me to write?"
"I'm ready." Claire said proudly, then stretched out her index finger and drew a few lines in the air, and blue three-dimensional words appeared.
You are not allowed to do anything that breaks the bottom line with any woman before Claire Darwin comes of age, you are not allowed to actively expose your identity, you are not allowed to put yourself in danger, you are not allowed to...
Aaron looked at these "no" treaties, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Is it that serious? The first one is enough, aren't the others a bit redundant?"
"Different contracts are for different people." Claire said righteously, "I'm sure you can find loopholes in the contract, and it's always good to make more preparations.
Besides, except for the first one, the rest of me is for your and her safety.
If there is no problem, sign it. Of course, if you don't want to sign, I won't stop you."
I don't believe it! Aaron said in his heart.
He is now temporarily expelled from the Gaius family, but Claire is still the daughter of the Darwin family. In other words, she can mobilize the power of the Darwin family.
The Darwin family is the most sensible of the four families. They will not cause any hindrance to Aaron's actions, but it is still easy to send a few people to monitor him, and among the people monitoring him, there must be that guy Leon. He is a pure sister control and can do anything for the future happiness of his sister.
"Aaron Gaius." Aaron used his wand to leave his name under the contract, "You can rest assured this time!"
"Almost." Claire nodded with satisfaction, and then kissed Aaron on the face, "This is a consolation prize for you.
You will definitely feel awkward about signing a contract, but I let my man go out to find another woman. With this premise, I can't be considered stingy no matter how you look at it!"
Aaron was stunned for a moment, stretched out his arms to circle her in his arms, and then slowly lowered his head to kiss her warm lips.
After more than two minutes of passionate lovemaking, both of them were breathing rapidly, Claire's face flushed, and Aaron felt that he was at risk of losing control at any time.
But before he could take the next step, his mind suddenly became clear.
"Huh! Fortunately, I just signed a contract." Aaron smiled awkwardly but politely, "If it was before you came of age...it would be difficult for both of us to explain to our families."
"I should have known not to let you sign." Claire whispered with some regret, and then ran out of Aaron's dormitory shyly.
