Chapter 32: Whistleblowing

Dumbledore was a little stunned by the sudden occurrence of such an accident, he didn't expect Trelawney to suddenly make such a prediction, and there was a very credible prophecy, plus Trelawney was from the Sybil family, and the high-level leaders of the wizarding world of their family had some understanding, with Dumbledore's understanding, the Sybil family was actually a very evil family.

Legend has it that the first head of the family was a priestess of the temple of Apollo in Greek mythology, and she was blessed by the sun god with the ability to predict the future. But because Sybil casually said her prophecy and leaked the heavens, she was cursed by Apollo to make any prophecies she said no one believe. has always been regarded as a clown by everyone.

And Sybil had as much life as sand, which she asked Apollo to give her, but she forgot to ask for youth, so much so that her only desire later was to die. (See the caption in T.S. Eliot's long poem "The Waste Land," "The children asked Sybil what he wanted, and Sybil replied, 'I will die.'") This is a cruel curse, and considering that she knows that the prophecy is true but no one believes it, she will die of depression. In particular, she predicted the calamity of the people but could not prevent it, and could only watch it happen, which was really the most painful thing.

The name "Sybil" is actually a Roman legend of the prophetess who conveyed the oracle to the people. If this story really exists, then Trelawney, as a descendant of this family, should still be cursed, and what she has just transformed her personality is a prophecy. Dumbledore did feel the fluctuation of time, which means that her prediction should be accurate, and it seems that this professor does have some real material, she is undoubtedly a real prophet, although she is usually a little unreliable.

Looking at Trelawney, who had already woken up and didn't know what was happening, Dumbledore smiled and stretched out his right hand again, "Professor Trelawney, welcome to Hogwarts." ”

And Snape, who was blasted out, was not disappointed because he didn't listen to all the prophecies. Instead, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if the conspiracy had succeeded. Then, Snape walked to a no-man's corner, lifted the sleeve of his left arm, and swam to his wrist with magic power, only to see that a skull with a python in its mouth slowly appeared on Snape's wrist because of the replenishment of magic power. If outsiders see it, they will shout, 'Dark Mark', and the Dark Mark is branded on the left arm of everyone who joins the Death Eaters as a sign of identification.

Whenever Voldemort summoned or appeared nearby, the markings on the Death Eater's arms would burn and become clearer and red. Moreover, if Voldemort pressed the Dark Mark on the arm of a Death Eater, he would summon other Death Eaters, at which point they would immediately apparition and appear next to Voldemort to obey his orders. When a Death Eater touches the Dark Mark on his or her left arm, Voldemort can also sense the summoning and the apparition moves to him/her.

"Skeleton reproduction (Morsmordre in English). Snape pulled out his wand and tapped it on the Dark Mark to inform Voldemort through the Dark Mark of GuΓ². Sure enough, after a while, two phantoms appeared in front of him, and then Voldemort came to Snape.

"Oh. My servant, why are you calling me in such a hurry? Although Voldemort's voice was low and hoarse, he had a very strong personality.

Snape fell to his knees with a frenzied look on his face, and said excitedly, "My master, I just heard a very important message. Just now at the Pig's Head Bar, Sybil Trelawney has made a prophecy to you, she predicted your death, you should know about the Sybil family. ”

"Yes, tell me what the prophecy says. "Voldemort didn't care, although many people had always thought that the crazy Sybils were liars, and most of the prophecies made by their family did not come true. But Voldemort is not an ordinary person, and he still attaches great importance to Trelawney's prophecy, although this prophecy may also be a lie, but in the spirit of preferring to kill the wrong person, Voldemort still wants to hear what Snape heard.

"Yes, my master, the prophecy was this: [The man with the power to conquer the Dark Lord has approached...... Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times...... Born at the end of the seventh month ......], and the rest was blasted out by the owner of the pig's head bar before I could finish listening. ”

"Snape, you didn't go into enough detail, I'd better see for myself. Hey, hey, hey, hey, !!!" After saying that, Voldemort directly took his mind and directly checked his memory.

Snape fell to his knees in pain and cried out in pain, "Don't ,,,,,, master, don't kill me." Voldemort vanished after checking Snape's memories to make sure they were correct, and after a while, Voldemort finally stopped, and Snape had collapsed, kneeling on the ground and panting violently.

"That's all, but we've done enough, so let's start eliminating the law, the prophesied family that has defeated me three times should refer to the Potters and Longbottomons, who escaped unharmed at my hands. And they kids. One of these two children is half-blood, the other is pure-blood, and they seem to have been born at the end of July, who the hell is it, hey, hey, hey, hey!!!" After saying that, Voldemort was leaving,

Although Voldemort has roughly determined which child is the prophesied child, Voldemort's mind will not tell him who the child is, but will solve it himself.

At this moment, Snape suddenly straightened up and knelt on the ground, looking extremely nervous, his arms stretched unnaturally. Bellatrix next to him looked at him with contempt. Voldemort turned his back to him, fiddling with his wand.

"Pleaseβ€”please, master, that woman, Evans is innocent," Snape said in a low voice, "please. ”

"Ah, Severus, you have surprised me. Voldemort said coldly, "You like that Mudblood?" and laughed contemptuously.

"In the prophecy - that child - I have always been faithful to you. Snape convulsed as if he had been whipped, and pleaded again. Voldemort's eyes were even more contemptuous, as if he was watching something rot.

"That's true, thenβ€”" Voldemort turned, his face pale and his scarlet eyes looking down at Snape, "this little reward is for you, my faithful servant......"

Snape took a sip and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your kindness, I will give my all for you in a moment, and get more information for you." ”
