Chapter 153 Conversations in the Laboratory
In the laboratory of the villa next to the Black Lake in Hogwarts Castle, Augustus carefully put a wisp of black smoke into a secret glass bottle.
After completely sealing up the black smoke, Augustus activated the detection equipment beside him, and saw that there was nothing abnormal in the detection results, so he let out a long breath of relief.
"Boom boom boom!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind him. Augustus, who heard the sound, took out his broken gold pocket watch, looked at the time, and sighed.
"Always on time!"
With that said, he left the workbench and slowly opened the door. With the sound of mechanical rotation, the special metal door was slowly pulled open.
Professor Snape was wearing a brand new black robe, and stood upright outside the door. When he saw Augustus, Professor Snape greeted him calmly.
"Good evening, Mr. Dumbledore, I didn't expect you to come to me to arrange tasks so soon, especially after you told Harry about that."
"How long has it been since she talked to me, oh let me think, it's been twenty hours."
Seeing the resentful expression on Professor Snape's face, Augustus could only smile awkwardly, then muttered in a low voice.
"You didn't do that when the other party kissed you. Why didn't you stop me at that time? As an elder, it really is."
"Humph!"
Facing Augustus' ridicule, Professor Snape didn't bother to quarrel with him, snorted and walked sideways into the laboratory.
Looking at the dazzling array of equipment in the laboratory, as well as the neatly arranged various alchemy items, Professor Snape nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said softly without looking back.
"As for my reward, you must know that doing this for you will be a great loss to my personal reputation, although there is a high probability that other people will not know what I have done."
"But you also have to admit that I do this at a risk, so please give me what I deserve."
Hearing that the other party started to ask for payment, Augustus's expectation of getting away with it was also shattered, so he had to stand in a corner of his workbench.
He took out a very elegant men's leather bag, put it in front of Professor Snape, and then explained.
"This is my new portable leather bag for men. Its appearance is only 1/5 of the size of a women's satchel, but the interior space is basically the same."
"And the various metals used above are purified with alchemy magic, and they cleverly form a stable magic matrix."
"This also makes the internal space more stable, and the time storage does not have to worry about the risk of magic failure."
"All the rewards you want are in it, the original set of alchemy equipment, and six basic units of various magical animal materials."
"You don't have to go to Hagrid every day anymore. The little things he collected are basically sold to me. He is now happily playing with his tribe of centaurs."
"How did he come here, to form a powerful army of fantastic animals, and then kick Voldemort's ass hard."
After listening to all the other party's explanations, Professor Snape took the man's leather bag expressionlessly, and then continued to look at the things that were continuously refined in the alchemy instrument.
said calmly.
"What exactly is the mission? You must know that I basically don't have much connection with Voldemort, all the previous contact methods and contact networks."
"Basically, all of them have been instigated by you. Most of the people who supported Voldemort in the past were pure-blood families. Now they are perishing and rebelling."
"The only ones left are people with abnormal brains like Bella. To be honest, I don't know what you want to use him for, but there is a high probability that he will not be able to accomplish anything."
After listening to Professor Snape's narration, Augustus was not in a hurry to give the task, but waved his hand lightly, and brought two bottles of stools and a small table with magic.
After setting up the stool and the small table, he took out a bottle of fine red wine from under the workbench, filled a glass for each of them, then sat down and said slowly while shaking the red wine.
"Of course he is going to harm the Muggle world. It is also time to let some people know the existence of the wizarding world, if we still have time."
"People in the Muggle world now obtain information, no matter what, mainly through news broadcasts and television. These things are in the hands of capital led by the media."
"As long as these things are not mastered by everyone, then there is room for manipulation, and they can be used to achieve their own goals."
Hearing that the other party was going to involve the Muggle world, Professor Snape turned around, pulled out his chair and sat down after thinking for a while, and asked softly across the glass of red wine.
"Are you sure the time is right now? Know that once this decision is made, there will be no chance to go back on it."
"As you said, even if you use magic, you will leave traces. Once anything is exposed, no matter how beautiful the follow-up work is, it will definitely leave traces that can be found."
"Of course I'm not making any decisions for you. I just want to tell you that you must think through all the details of this kind of thing."
Hearing Professor Snape's sincere persuasion, Augustus nodded his approval, but he still spoke seriously.
"Any decision I make, I have thought about the details so I can think about it. Voldemort is a madman who does things without thinking about the consequences."
"He has reached a desperate situation now. With the power of the so-called high-ranking officials he colluded with, he has no influence on the current British wizarding world."
"At the same time, professor, you should be able to see that in that remote mountain village in Bulgaria, an entire town was killed by Voldemort."
"But this does not attract anyone's attention. What does this mean? No matter how much we emphasize that all people are equal, it is the difference in region and identity, which will still cause the value of their lives to appear not so equal in many cases. "
"So we need to put a little pressure on the Muggles, so that we can gain more benefits for us in the follow-up exchanges."
"But as the leaders of the future wizarding community, we certainly cannot be involved in any dirty killings."
"So we need a killer, a lunatic, a bastard who is sacrificed at any time and no one feels sorry for him."
"I think for this sake, you should know that no one is more suitable than him, Mr. Tom Riddle, a complete and self-righteous trash who has been abandoned by everyone."
