Chapter 1153 Snape’s Warning
“Bang bang bang!”
Late in the middle of the night, on a quiet street, a figure in a black cloak stopped in front of an old house, raising his hand and knocking on the wooden door in front of him.
"who?"
About thirty seconds later, there was a noise from behind the door, and then a nervous voice.
"it's me!"
The cloaked figure spoke out.
“Severus?”
The door of the room was opened a crack, and a woman looked out through the crack. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after confirming who was coming.
"I have something important to say to you and Draco." Snape said to the woman inside the door.
“Come in first.”
Narcissa stepped back and let Snape into the room.
A similar scene happened not long ago, but it was completely opposite.
“Where is Draco?” Snape asked, looking around.
"Draco is resting in his room." Narcissa said softly: "The burning of the manor has hit him hard. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"This matter also has something to do with Draco. It's best to let him listen together." Snape asked Narcissa to wake up the people.
Probably hearing voices coming from the hall, the door next to him suddenly opened, and a pale-faced Draco Malfoy walked out. He was slightly startled when he saw Snape. He probably didn't expect that he would be there. See each other here.
“Has Bellatrix mentioned this to you?” Snape asked suddenly.
“What did you mention?”
"Who might be the person who attacked Malfoy Manor?" Snape turned his gaze to Narcissa, who was confused, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "It seems that she hasn't had time to tell you the news yet."
"Who attacked Malfoy Manor?" Draco asked loudly, grabbing Snape's arm.
"Although there is no evidence, there is a high probability that Albert Anderson set the fire." Snape said calmly.
“That **** mudblood,” Draco said through gritted teeth.
"Calm down, you are losing your mind." Snape looked at the ferocious-looking Draco and reminded him expressionlessly: "Anger can't solve the problem, it will only make the situation worse, and you don't have time to be angry. , don’t forget the mission given to you by the Dark Lord.”
"I know..." Draco Malfoy forced himself to calm down and stared at Snape, "It must not be because of this that you came here so late."
"Yes, I hope you can withdraw the bounty on Albert Anderson." Snape turned his head and said to Narcissa: "That is a rather stupid approach."
“That’s impossible!” Draco blurted out directly.
“Nothing is impossible,” Snape said calmly.
To be honest, Snape is not good at persuading others, but Dumbledore hopes that he can persuade the Malfoy family to give up the bounty on Albert, and let him provide help and guidance to Draco Malfoy to avoid chaos. Come.
So, here he comes.
"Why?" Malfoy suddenly asked, "Why do you..."
"You don't even know who the enemy is now." Snape interrupted unceremoniously, "I promised your mother that I would help you, but..."
"Mother."
Narcissa met her son's gaze and lowered her voice to explain, "Severus is more experienced in this area than you..."
"That's enough, mother, this is my job, he gave it to me, I can do it myself..." Before Malfoy could finish his words, he was interrupted again.
"Draco, it's not that I don't want to believe you." Narcissa said sadly, "But we can no longer afford another failure."
Draco Malfoy fell silent.
“Why are you here?” A sudden voice broke the silence of the room.
Bella stood outside the door, staring at Snape warily.
"has a problem?"
Snape glanced at Bella, not paying attention to what the other person said, and turned to Draco and said, "Remember, the bounty on Albert Anderson must stop."
"Why?"
"The fire was just a warning," Snape glanced at Bella with a sneer on his face, "otherwise do you really think you can escape from the devil's flames?"
“Warning?” Narcissa looked at Snape uneasily.
"Yes, that's what Dumbledore said when I told you that you were still alive." Snape recalled: "Dumbledore believed that Anderson set the fire, so he hoped that I could persuade you to give up on the fire." There’s a reward for that guy.”
“So, you’re here to carry out Dumbledore’s orders?”
"Is this important?" Snape asked, "You never seem to grasp the point."
"Let Severus continue." Narcissa almost used a pleading tone to stop Bella who was about to say something else. "I believe Severus must have some important reason for coming here."
“Dumbledore didn’t want Albert Anderson to become corrupted by murder,” Snape said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"What does this have to do with a wanted bounty..." Draco was a little confused by Snape.
“I have never been able to understand why you ignored the danger of that guy. Is it the so-called mudblood that affects your normal judgment?”
"It's ridiculous." Bella curled her lips disdainfully, "I can kill him soon and get a reward from the Dark Lord."
Snape glanced at Bellatrix with contempt from the corner of his eyes. He felt that if Anderson was confronted with the other person's poor brain, he would be killed sooner or later.
"A long time ago, I reminded Lucius not to provoke that Anderson before he was sure." Snape sneered, "As a result, Lucius failed, and many people lost their lives. "
"How dare you..." Draco almost broke his nose in anger.
"You have never noticed that many of the people captured by the Ministry of Magic were executed." Snape reminded expressionlessly.
“You mean...” Narcissa seemed to realize something.
"Albert Anderson did not kill anyone himself, but he used the Ministry of Magic to kill the guys who tried to attack his wedding." Snape said expressionlessly, "In the past two months, people have been tried almost every day. Executed to death.”
"Once he no longer has worries, he will not even have a chance." Snape was also very afraid, because the fire only burned down the Malfoy Manor but did not spread to the surrounding areas. This is the best evidence.
"Remember, it is Bellatrix's mission to kill Albert Anderson, and you'd better not get involved in it." Snape warned coldly.
"You think I will fail." Bella seemed to realize something and pointed her wand at Snape angrily.
“The probability is not high.” Snape sarcastically said, “That guy is a master of prophecy and can predict the future. All your so-called traps will be noticed by him in advance, and you don’t even know anything about it.”
"Once the plan fails, that guy will definitely kill a group of people, and the Malfoy family who offers a bounty will definitely be on the list. No one will tolerate repeated provocations."
"So, focus on your own mission and don't get involved in this matter." Snape coldly interrupted what Malfoy wanted to say, "You have to remember that I am your helper and backup. Once you fail, you will Let me take over this job, don’t be ridiculous and think that I want to take your credit, this is my job in the first place!”
“Remember, as long as Dumbledore is dead, the Dark Lord will forgive Lucius.”
