Chapter 1212 Double Agent
“That **** can’t be repaired at all.”
At this moment, Draco Malfoy was standing in front of Snape with a gloomy face in the Slytherin Dean's office. Since he accepted Snape's suggestion, he began to repair the damaged vanishing cabinet according to the method given by Borkin Burke, but a long time passed and he still made no progress.
That **** disappearing cabinet is still the same as before, and he doubts that he can repair it at all.
"If the Vanishing Cabinet is really that easy to repair, this credit will not fall on you. If you want to be recognized by the Dark Lord, you must make some sacrifices. Only then will the Dark Lord agree to rob the prison and rescue Lucius. ." Snape's tone was extremely calm, and he didn't take Malfoy's complaints seriously at all.
"What if I can't fix it? I mean, what if I can't fix that **** Vanishing Cabinet before the end of this semester?" Malfoy felt inexplicably irritated. "It's not easy to enter the Room of Requirement to repair things now. Maybe You should have put that **** cabinet in your office instead of putting it in the Room of Requirement, where people use it so much that I have to get out of bed in the middle of the night to repair that **** cabinet.”
It wasn’t that Draco wanted to complain to Snape about these problems, but that he felt that repairing the Vanishing Cabinet was a complete pitfall.
If Snape really wanted to help him, they should help find a way to repair the broken cabinet, but Snape threw this problem to him, which made Malfoy doubt that Snape didn't know how to repair it.
Malfoy's guess was indeed correct. Snape did not know how to repair the Vanishing Cabinet, but he was not worried at all that the broken cabinet could not be repaired, because the whole plan was proposed by Dumbledore. When the plan was implemented, Dumbledore Bullido will naturally help repair the broken disappearing cabinet.
It can't be repaired now, simply because they don't want Malfoy to repair the cabinet, lest it disrupt their original plan.
Draco Malfoy naturally doesn't know about these secret things. He can only continue to trust Snape and help repair the vanishing cabinet step by step.
Otherwise, there is no other way.
Malfoy hated this feeling, but there was nothing he could do about it because the methods he came up with to murder Dumbledore were not very reliable.
The original poisoning plan was directly rejected by Snape because the probability of success was extremely low and it was likely to expose himself.
On the contrary, Snape's plan is more feasible, and he himself is the core of the entire plan.
After a brief, unfriendly exchange, Malfoy finally failed to convince Snape to help, and left Snape's office angrily, slamming the door.
Snape didn't care at all about this. He had no hope that Malfoy could repair the vanishing cabinet. Even if it could be repaired, now was not the time. They need to wait until the end of the semester, when Dumbledore has made all arrangements and is ready to die generously, before they start implementing the plan.
And Draco Malfoy was just part of the old man's plan. Although he didn't know what Dumbledore wanted to do, he knew that all he had to do now was follow Dumbledore's original plan.
He believed that Dumbledore must have his own arrangements, and he would definitely tell him when the time comes.
After Malfoy left, Snape looked up at the clock on the wall, then stood up and left the office.
Next, he still needs to rush to No. 12 Grimmauld Place to attend an emergency meeting held by the Order of the Phoenix.
To be honest, Snape didn't like it there because it was the home of Sirius Black, his sworn enemy from school days.
Even though they have now joined the Order of the Phoenix, their relationship is still extremely bad. Limiting the conflict to quarrels is already taking care of Dumbledore's face.
Under the gazes of all the members of the Order of the Phoenix, Snape walked into the living room, ignored Sirius's provocation, and calmly sat down in the vacant seat.
“Okay, everyone is here,”
After Kingsley handed a document to Snape, he nodded slightly to Mad-Eye Moody, indicating that the other party could start presiding over the meeting.
"According to the latest news we have received, Voldemort is currently planning a murder operation against Scrimgeour." Moody glanced at Snape and went straight to the point.
“According to Albert Anderson’s prophecy, the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour will die in this murder soon, and the Ministry of Magic will fall under the control of the Death Eaters.”
"Is there any evidence?" Dedalo Digo shook the parchment in his hand and asked with a frown, "I mean evidence other than prophecy."
"Shut up, Moody," Hestia Jones interrupted. "I never thought Moody would joke about something like this."
"I can't imagine how bad the situation would get if the Death Eaters took control of the Ministry of Magic." Goethe was just unwilling to accept such an outcome.
"We should stop this conspiracy. I think it is necessary to keep Scrimgeour alive. It is difficult for us to bear the consequences of the Ministry of Magic favoring You-Know-Who." Tonks said with a frown, even though she didn't really like Scrimgeour. , but I have to admit that the other party did a good job, severely damaging the arrogance of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
"If we can know the specific plan, we might be able to prevent Voldemort from murdering Scrimgeour." After saying that, Sirius looked sideways at Snape, "Fortunately, we have placed people there."
"Yaxley is responsible for this matter." Snape said expressionlessly, "I don't know the whole process of the plan, but I think the Dark Lord will personally kill Scrimgeour, just like he killed Scrimgeour himself. As dead as Amelia Bones."
“So, this is the big conspiracy that the mysterious man is quietly brewing.” Arthur frowned, as if something was wrong.
Bill looked at his father and asked doubtfully, "Is something wrong?"
“I don’t know, but I feel like...”
"I heard that Voldemort was planning to murder Dumbledore." Sirius narrowed his eyes and looked at Snape.
“The Dark Lord has never given up on destroying his great enemy.” Snape said softly. “He believes that as long as there is no Dumbledore, no one in the British wizarding world will dare to disobey him.”
"Albert thinks you will kill Dumbledore." Sirius suddenly dropped a bombshell. At this moment, he had already raised his wand and pointed it at Snape. "Honestly, I don't think he needs to lie. Or I have wronged you, do you have anything to explain to us?”
"Sirius!"
Lupine was startled by Sirius's actions and quickly stopped Sirius to avoid an unpleasant conflict between the two parties.
“Oh, that’s surprising, don’t you ever use your poor brain?”
Snape's expression still didn't change much, as if the person Sirius was talking about was someone other than himself.
"If I had really wanted to murder Dumbledore, I would have done it long ago," he said impatiently.
"What's the meaning?"
"When Dumbledore came to me to treat the curse injury on his hand, he had just been hit by the curse and became extremely weak. He was so weak that a Muggle could strangle him to death." Snee Pu looked at Sirius and sneered: "If I were Voldemort's man, I would have taken action at that time. However, Dumbledore is still alive. If you have any doubts about this, you can ask Dumbledore yourself. It’s more useful than me trying to explain it here.”
“His predictions have never been wrong.” Sirius was expressionless. He didn’t think Albert would lie.
"I suggest you warn Dumbledore about me," said Snape contemptuously. "And do you all expect Dumbledore to die?"
“Who is planning Dumbledore’s murder?” Moody suddenly asked.
"Bellatrix Lestrange." Snape said expressionlessly, "Only a crazy person like her would accept such a mission with a low probability of failure. As for the specific situation, I don’t know much.”
Kingsley looked at Snape and frowned slightly. Sirius's words made him very concerned, because Albert's predictions had never been wrong, if he really thought Snape killed Dumbledore.
However, what Snape said just now does not look like a lie, because it can withstand investigation, and Dumbledore will obviously not go out of his way to help Snape hide this matter.
There's something weird about the whole thing.
“I heard Voldemort is trying to kill Albert.”
"Yes, the Dark Lord is wary of Albert Anderson and regards him as his greatest enemy, second only to Dumbledore." Snape nodded.
“Why did the mysterious man kill Albert?” Mrs. Weasley simply couldn’t understand Voldemort’s thoughts.
"Because Voldemort feels threatened, Anderson is not only a master of prophecy, but also possesses extraordinary power." Kingsley smiled bitterly, "If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."
"As far as I know, the Dark Lord has tried to kill Anderson many times, but all ended in failure." Snape continued, "Whether it was Lucius Malfoy or Bellatrix Ly Strange, and even the Dark Lord himself, failed to get rid of him, which made the Dark Lord increasingly fearful of him."
"It is said that Anderson formed an organization called the "Defense Association". The Dark Lord is searching for members of the Defense Association, intending to find opportunities to completely eliminate them once and for all." Snape did not hide this matter, Albert had already On Voldemort's must-kill list, his priority was higher than Dumbledore's.
"I don't think Voldemort will succeed. Last time he was played around like a fool by Albert." Sirius naturally knew Voldemort's power, but this did not prevent him from despising him.
"He can't always escape the plot." Snape reminded him expressionlessly. He actually knew that Albert was colluding with Dumbledore and planned to deal with Voldemort together.
Voldemort also knew that, so he was so wary of Albert.
After all, one Dumbledore is already difficult enough, and adding Albert, who can predict the future and has extraordinary power, is simply a terrible disaster. And the current bad situation between Voldemort and the Death Eaters is even more difficult. It is the most powerful proof.
