Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

() "What the **** is Dumbledore ..."

In the Gryffindor common room, the students who had just been rushed back by the professors gathered in groups of three or five, lowering their voices and whispering.

"Who knows? That's President Dumbledore! He died without warning ..."

"Don't do that, McLean is right, we are all Hogwarts students! Dumbledore must have died to protect us. Thanks to him, we can still speak here now!"

The three of them were also sitting in the corner of the lounge. They silently listened to the surrounding noise and looked at each other. The heavy heart made it difficult for them to speak.

Maca's soothing speech must have some effect, at least under the magic he showed, everyone had some confidence in him.

In any case, Dumbledore's death was a fact before him, and no one could accept it at once.

"Hermione, you got the news before us. Do you have anything to say?" Harry couldn't bear the solemn atmosphere and broke the silence among the three.

Hermione's eyes were still red, she pursed her mouth, shook her head, and sniffed.

"Dumbledore's ... the situation was first discovered by Snape," Hermione whispered, "I know that better than you."

"... Snape." Harry heard it, and there was a habit of suspicion.

"Harry, I know what you're thinking, don't do that." Hermione looked at him with flushed eyes. "Maca said it earlier, Snape was fine."

"Yeah, Harry." Ron patted his buddies' shoulders, and nodded. "Although I don't like Snape-potion lessons are really enough! But he never gave us anything except I do n’t seem to have done anything bad except for good looks, do n’t I? ”

"Well." Harry nodded reluctantly.

Snape, though, is not friendly to Gryffindors ... No, it is harsh to students outside Slytherin College. But what he targeted most was undoubtedly Harry.

All the while, Harry's impression of Snape was naturally not good.

The three of them held their heads silent for a while again, and Hermione cheered up a bit, then suppressed the sadness in her heart and put her mind on thinking.

Since talking to Maca in Blake's old mansion, she has been insisting on thinking actively in the event, and she has been more diligent in studying magic.

This was happening now, and Hermione turned her head almost habitually after she calmed down.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Harry and Ron.

"By the way, I just recalled it, and it seems to have found something—" Hermione said earnestly, "I saw Professor Snape and McGonagall in the lobby at the time. Professor McGonagall looked very shaken, So I followed ... "

"You know, Dumbledore is lying on the lawn under the astronomical tower, not too far from the entrance hall ... I was so anxious as soon as I saw it, I couldn't care less about the others ..."

"But now when I think about it, it really doesn't feel right--"

"What's wrong?" Harry and Ron asked hastily.

"It was Snape's expression," Hermione recalled. "He looked so calm, it was absolutely abnormal!"

"Isn't Snape always that way?" Ron pouted, "In my opinion, even if Hogwarts Castle collapses in front of him, his face won't turn white."

"His face is white enough," Harry murmured, "and don't you doubt him?"

"No," Hermione waved her hand. "I'm not suspicious of him. He wouldn't be so calm if he were really Voldemort ... At the time, Snape's appearance made me feel like he didn't care about Dumbledore at all. Is it dead? "

"He had the same conversation with Professor McGonagall, just pointing to the lawn and saying‘ just here ’, and then going back to the castle like a walk.”

"No matter which side he is on, as long as he is interested in Dumbledore's death, he will not perfunctory with that routine attitude!"

"Listening to you, this seems to be the case ..." Harry said thoughtfully, "No matter what, he wouldn't have left like that. I remember when everyone got together later, He did not show up. "

Hermione heard the words and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yeah! So there must be something strange here, maybe--"

"what!"

Just half of Hermione's speech, Ron suddenly whispered and interrupted her.

"What's the matter, startled!" Hermione glanced at him angrily.

"No, I just remembered something," Ron smiled apologetically, and then continued. "Don't I go back to the castle on the lawn after Maca finished speaking? I seemed to glimpse him Who is talking to at the gate ... "

"Later, Professor McGonagall started to urge us to come back, and I forgot. Now think about it ... the one standing on the doorstep seems to be Snape!"

"Really?" Harry said strangely. "Speaking of it, I didn't realize when Marka was leaving--"

"At that time you were all looking at the sky with your necks up!" Ron explained.

"So, you mean ... Snape purposely waited for Maca on the steps at the gate?" Hermione lowered her head and wondered, then hesitated, "You say ... will Dumbledore be suspended animation?"

"Fake death?" Harry wondered, "Why?"

"Maybe Dumbledore was trying to seduce Voldemort with his own death--" At halfway, Hermione shook her head again. "No, that's not right."

Harry and Ron had just come to understand, but saw Hermione deny the speculation again, and could not help but be a big head.

"No? Why is this?" The two asked at the same time.

"You think!" Hermione frowned. "If Voldemort heard the news of Dumbledore's death, would he believe it? Even if he did, it would take a lot of investigation to believe it. Because Ma Card's tricks, he's lost a few times. How could it be so easy to believe that Dumbledore would die? "

"So? Did Dumbledore die or die?" Ron was almost fainted.

"I don't know," Hermione said calmly. "Without evidence, it's absolutely unwise to jump to conclusions-Maca has said this before."

"But ..." At this point, she thought about it again, and then continued, "If Dumbledore is indeed dead this time, it may be a blessing or a disaster; but if Dumbledore is not dead, Then ... there are bound to be bad things happening next! "

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing Hermione's prudence, Harry and Ron couldn't help getting nervous.

"Because Dumbledore is very likely ..." Hermione said solemnly, "I want to use his own death news in exchange for 'time'!"

"In other words, does he want to hold Voldemort's action ...?" Harry blinked a few dry eyes. "Speaking of that, Professor Trelawney's prediction in class ..."

"Prophecy?" Ron stood up tensely. "You guys, wait, I'll get that notebook--"

"No need," Hermione waved her hand suddenly. "I remember the content of the prophecy. I didn't need to take it on purpose."

"Have you carried it down?" Ron hesitated and sat down again.

"Just a few words," Hermione sighed. "That note was copied by you, don't tell me you've forgotten it?"

"So the prophecy says, 'Sin is recovering ...'" Harry recalled. "It sounds very ominous! This is far more terrible than the pattern I see in the tea residue!"

"It's really ominous, but as soon as you mention the prophecy, I care more about another sentence—" Hermione frowned. "Remember? I mean," When the light of the old days backed off the stage, the enemy would Come back 'that sentence.'

"The light of the old days must mean Dumbledore ... So," the enemy "means Voldemort?" Ron Dant even speculated, "Don't Voldemort actually be suspicious of Dumbledore's death, Want to come straight? "

"If it's Voldemort, it's not‘ sin is recovering, ’” Hermione shook her head, pondering carefully, “are you“ enemy ”...”

She thought for a while, and suddenly a look of horror appeared.

"Does Dumbledore's" enemy "mean ... Gellert Greenward?"

"Who?"

Although the name sounds familiar, at this time, Harry was full of Voldemort in his head, and there was no room for other people.

"Greenward! The first generation of the Dark Lord!" Hermione glared at Harry. "You should read more books! Although the history of magic only records things before the 19th century ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but We live after the 19th century! "

Harry was reprimanded by Hermione and couldn't help scratching his head.

He has really worked very hard recently, but his energy has been spent on self-taught magic curse, black magic defense, flying technology and the like. He ca n’t even mention the dull history of the magic world. Interested.

In fact, he hardly read even the textbook "History of Magic".

"Yeah! It's time to read more, buddy!"

Ron patted Harry's arm again, and in exchange for Harry's white eyes-Ron himself was not interested in the history of magic, of course, Harry could not be more clear.

"In short, when it comes to Dumbledore's old enemy, it really should count Gellert Greenward, who was once called` `one of the most dangerous black wizards of ancient and modern times ... ''

"If it wasn't for Dumbledore's thoughts on forcing him to fight his life and death duel, maybe the entire magical community in Europe is now completely lost in darkness!"
