In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Jon and Lupine came to Paris together.

Unlike the British Azkaban, the wizarding prison in France is not that scary.

After Voldemort became the French Minister of Magic, the prisons in Britain and France were completely merged, and all serious prisoners were sent to Azkaban.

Now that the Witch Level Line has reoccupied France, a new wizard prison has been built near the suburbs of Paris, and those serious criminals who have committed the most serious crimes have been placed in the center of the residence of the core fighting members of the Witch Level Line. Of course, Snape is the most important among people.

It can be said that Snape is the highest-level Death Eater captured by the Wizards, except for the Lestranges who were killed by Jon himself.

Therefore, after being brought back to France, he was guarded by the highest level of security.

Not only were all the magic items confiscated, but the clothes on his body were also changed into simple prison uniforms, and his hands and feet were shackled. The cell where he was imprisoned did not even have a window except for a door. Forget about things like ventilation ducts and sewers.

It originally seemed like the crime Snape had committed, after extracting all the useful information from his mind, he could be sent directly on his way.

However, Dumbledore postponed Snape's sentence because he wanted to take care of Lily, who was still in Finland at this time, handing over support supplies to several ministries of magic in Northern Europe. It seemed that he wanted Lily to take revenge.

But on the morning when Lily was about to come back, Snape disappeared in the cell!

At this time, many people had already arrived in this empty cell. Not only Dumbledore arrived in person, but Sirius, Moody, McGonagall and Lupin also rushed over.

Of course, no one raised any objections when Jon followed him. With his contribution to the Order of the Phoenix today, no one would treat him as an ordinary student.

"We only found this shattered denture and these two pairs of intact handcuffs and shackles in this cell."

Moody's gruff voice held a denture broken in half. There was nothing interesting about the shackles. The only thing worthy of attention was that Snape did not use any violent means to destroy it, just like It's the same as when a person becomes smaller and his hands and feet are taken out.

"This denture is hollow. Our people found the residue of the magic potion from its inner wall. The initial judgment is that he has always left a back-up in his mouth. When encountering this situation, , you can just bite the dentures in your mouth to pieces, drink the magic potion in it, and escape from the cell with the help of the potion that we have not yet tested."

Looking at this cell, Sirius looked more irritable than anyone else here.

"This is impossible! When he first fell into our hands, we checked him from head to toe! Our Aurors are all professionals, and there will never be such an obvious omission!"

"But Snape is also a more professional potion master than anyone else." Luping said solemnly, "His talent in potions is undoubted, plus the experience he has enjoyed in the UK over the years. Various resources must have mastered many unknown potion formulas. Some potions are more miraculous than magic. Is it possible that our person was deceived by some kind of potion he drank? "

They made various guesses, but Dumbledore kept observing the cell calmly, and finally his eyes were fixed on the wall near the door.

He walked over, which of course attracted the attention of others.

Dumbledore touched the gap between the wall and the door. It was slightly damper than other places.

"He escaped from here."

Moody, who has decades of experience as an Auror, also noticed something was wrong with this place, and his magic eye was spinning.

"Is it a magic potion that can temporarily transform the human body?"

"Yes, like Polyjuice Potion, which can change a person's appearance, there are many other potions in the wizarding world that can turn the human body into dead objects, thereby replacing the effects of certain transfiguration spells." Dumbledore said softly.

Sirius had already walked out of the cell. He followed the dampness extending from the crack in the door to the outside, and soon found a very obvious trace.

"He hasn't been gone long, and he doesn't have a wand in his hand yet. We still have a chance to find it!"

After discovering this, Sirius did not stop and followed the traces out of the prison impatiently. Lupine and Moody also followed closely. Only Dumbledore and Jon took their time. followed at the end.

After Sirius and the others had disappeared from sight, Jon looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

Dumbledore also noticed his eyes, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"For a prisoner like Snape, especially if his life and death involves so many people, Professor, I don't think you would make such a stupid mistake and let him escape from here." Jon looked straight at him. said Dumbledore.

Dumbledore blinked.

"This is just your guess, Jon. Once people get older, they will always make mistakes. I am no exception. No one will always make mistakes."

But Jon didn't look away, he was still staring into Dumbledore's eyes.

"But Principal Grindelwald has always said that I have a gift for prophecy. I don't know why, Professor, I just feel that this matter has something to do with you."

After hearing his almost unreasonable assertion, Dumbledore seemed to have no choice. He suddenly asked Jon softly.

"Have you mastered your Animagus powers now?"

Jon felt that Dumbledore was asking seriously, rather than diluting the subject.

"Most of them can already be used."

"Where's the disembodiment that's unique to the Phoenix?"

"This is the focus of my practice, and I have basically made no mistakes now."

Dumbledore lowered his voice.

"When Lily comes back later and finds out that Snape has escaped from prison, she will definitely go to investigate on her own. Be proactive and say to go with her, and then follow her all the time. Be careful to protect her during this period. If something goes wrong If something unexpected happens, don’t hesitate to turn into a phoenix and bring her back.”

Jon twitched his eyes, Dumbledore was obviously using him as Fawkes.

"No problem, no problem, but Professor, you can't just tell me nothing inside, can you? Why did you let Snape go?"

"I told you, Jon, Snape is actually a very pure person. It is this purity that made him the Death Eater and executioner he is today, but it is also this purity that makes him hateful. It's also very pitiful. And he is much more important than anyone imagined. Even I only knew this yesterday. I believe Voldemort will soon discover this, so his departure is very useful to us."

There was some inconsistency in what he said. If Snape was so important, why would it be useful if he left?

But Jon seemed to have thought of some of the problems, with a thoughtful look on his face, and did not continue to ask any more questions.

At this time, they had also walked out of the prison and arrived at an Auror station outside the prison.

At this time, the lights were bright because of Snape's escape. Every Auror was searching every corner of the station, and soon they made more discoveries.

Someone's lost their wand!

This was no small matter, but the one who threw the wand was not the Auror in this station, but the French wizard in charge of logistics.

The chef was responsible for preparing food for the Aurors who patrolled the night shift. He had just gone to bed in the morning, but before he had rested for an hour, he was woken up by the sound of searches in the station, and then he found that his wand was not there. .

When Jon and Dumbledore came over, Sirius and the others had already arrived in this room, and there were obvious traces of moisture on the ground.

"This station has been enchanted with anti-Apparition magic. Even if he gets the wand, he can't just leave like this!" Moody said with a gloomy face. He was the main person in charge of guarding Snape, and now the prisoner has escaped the responsibility. Of course he is the biggest one.

Sirius was the first to rush out. The traces left by Snape were still there, but the air was very dry today. If they didn't hurry up, these clues would eventually be cut off soon.

The group of people followed the traces left on the ground and chased them outside the station. After they completely left the range covered by the anti-Apparition magic, Sirius and the others' faces became increasingly ugly!

At this time, Lily, who had rushed all the way back from Finland via Floo, finally arrived at the Auror station at Witch Level.

There was no emotion on her face, she just followed them out of the station expressionlessly.

"What's the result?"

Seeing her look like this, Sirius became a little nervous.

"He stole a wand, and now according to the traces left behind, he has left the forbidden range of Apparition. The professionals among us are conducting flashback spell reconnaissance in the surrounding area, looking for any remaining records of Apparition."

Lily said nothing, she just looked up at Dumbledore.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance about catching him?"

It has been five days since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, and Lily is busy with work in Finland and has no time to pay attention to the information from the UK.

Since it is located in the northernmost part of Europe, Finland did not pay much attention to the situation in Britain and France. At the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament, Finland's magic newspaper reporters were the first to run back because they were afraid of death, so now they They are all reported domestically based on news from other newspapers.

Therefore, without anyone's notification, Lily only got the news yesterday from within Wuping Line that Snape had been captured alive as a prisoner. But when she rushed back today, he had already escaped!

Dumbledore said with a sigh.

"I wanted to give you some buffer time."

Jon looked at the old man sideways. If he didn't know the inside story, he would really think that Dumbledore had no idea about how Snape ran away.

Lily did not continue to question Dumbledore.

Hatred occupied her heart, but it did not go to her head. She was not the one who captured Snape, so she had no reason to accuse him.

"It's good to escape."

She said coldly, as if she was already facing that empty look.

"I caught him with my own hands and killed him to be worthy of my husband and my son!"

Everyone around them fell silent. Everyone knew the deep hatred between Lily and Snape. If Snape hadn't overheard the most ridiculous prophecy in history and then reported it to his master, then James and Harry will not die at all later.

After this silence lasted for a long time, Dumbledore nodded slightly and spoke.

"We'll wait for the results later. If he really uses apparation to leave, he won't be too far away from the station, because it will leave more traces, so we probably won't wait too long."

Just as Dumbledore expected, because this is the base camp of the Witch Level Aurors, the reconnaissance around the station did not take much time. Soon a group of Aurors were discovered in the woods near the edge of the station. He found the traces left by the Apparition, and then used the spell to deduce the landing point of the Apparition.

"It's in Knockturn Alley."

After learning where Snape was going, Sirius said restlessly.

"He must have gone back! Returned to the Dark Lord's side and helped him!"

Lu Ping said calmly.

"Not necessarily. Don't forget that the Dark Lord gave up on him on his own initiative when he was in Hogwarts Castle. If he goes back at this time, let alone whether he can be reused, whether there is still a foothold for him around the Dark Lord. The land and capital are still two things."

"Then why Knockturn Alley? If he doesn't want to return to the Dark Lord, he can go anywhere in Europe!"

Lily had already drawn her wand, her voice was cold.

"He is not a fool. Neither his future nor his life can be guaranteed by returning to Voldemort's side. But he also knows that the destination he fled cannot escape our search. And now in the whole of Europe, only the UK is the least accessible to us for investigation and action. The place."

Moody frowned at her.

"Do you want to go to England to track it down?"

Lily didn't answer his question, but looked up at Dumbledore.

"You know what keeps me alive in this world, Professor Dumbledore."

She used the title she used when she was a student, while quietly waiting for Dumbledore's answer.

Dumbledore rubbed his brows.

"We can't send many people into the UK, so it would be dangerous to go to Knockturn Alley and continue chasing. That's why I won't agree to you taking the risk alone, Lily."

The air became extremely silent.

And at this time, Jon, who still maintained the appearance of a six-year-old child and was only just up to Lily's waist, tugged on her sleeves in time.

"Well, what about that? The Triwizard Tournament is over anyway, and I have nothing to do. How about I go with Professor Potter?"
