Chapter Ninety-Nine: Operation Failed

As the days passed, Harry crossed his fingers every day, waiting for Dumbledore's "a few days" to come.

Until Snape was about to teach him Occlumency, Sirius had not heard anything from him, and Harry's mood had become irritable, and the slightest movement from Ron and Neville in the same dorm would make him complain about his temper tantrums for a long time.

The Daily Prophet has not provided any valuable information these days, the only interesting thing is that the Muggle military blew up a wizard's estate with gunpowder, and fortunately no one was injured.

The daily picture was gone, and Harry was finally able to dream a few dreams.

By six o'clock on Monday evening, Harry walked to Snape's office.

When he got there, he stopped at the door, hoping he was somewhere else, and, taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door and walked in.

In the shadowy room, there are more than 100 glass bottles containing the juices of animals and plants of various colors. In one corner is a cupboard full of things.

Snape's cold voice came, "Close the door behind you, Potter." ”

Harry did as he was told, and he felt like he was holding himself captive. But as he turned back to his room, Snape stepped into the light and quietly pointed to the chair on the other side of his desk.

Harry sat down, and so did Snape, his cold black eyes staring at Harry with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Okay, Potter, you know why you're here," he said. "The headmaster has asked me to teach you Occlumency. I only hope you're more familiar with it than pharmacy. ”

"Okay. Harry said simply.

"It's not your average lesson, Potter," Snape said, his eyes blinking sinisterly, "but I'm still your teacher, so you should call me 'sir' or 'professor' at all times." ”

"Yes." Sir," Harry said.

Snape looked at him with small eyes, and said, "First of all, Occlumency, the branch of the mind that is sealed by magic, is used to deal with magical intrusions and magical influences. And 'that man' is very skilled at soul retrieval—"

"What's that?" Mr? ”

"It can read the thoughts and emotions of another person from his heart—"

"Can it read other people's minds?" Harry said quickly, confirming his worst fears.

That's it. Snape said, his dark eyes glinting. The headmaster says 'that person' has probably noticed that you can steal his mind, so it is likely that he will steal your memories in turn. ”

Snape paused for a moment, apparently pleased to embarrass Harry, before continuing.

Unlike the Dementors, Hogwarts has no connection between you and 'that person', so we urgently need you to master this magic before we expose all our actions to him. ”

"So, for everyone's safety, we don't have much time left. Snape said, coldly and disregardingly. Let's go back to the lessons of Occlumency. ”

Snape pulled his wand out of his pocket and faced Harry. "Stand up and pull out your wand, Potter."

Harry stood up, uneasy. They stood on opposite sides of the table, staring at each other.

"You can use your wand to try to disarm me, or use whatever you want to protect yourself," Snape said.

"What are you going to do?" Harry asked, looking nervously at Snape's wand.

"I'll try to break into your heart," Snape said softly. "I'm going to see how well you resist. I've told you to be ready to resist my spell at any time. You will find that you need a power similar to this. Protect yourself, now, Dementor! ”

Before Harry could prepare, Snape attacked, even summoning some forces of resistance. The office suddenly vanished before his eyes; Picture after image passed through his seemingly blind mind like a glittering movie.

When he was five years old, he watched Dudley ride a new red bike, and his heart was filled with jealousy. He sat under the Sorting Hat, and it told him he could do well in Slytherin. Aunt Maggie's taunting and scolding, playing with Sirius, who turned into a dog......

"No," a voice came to Harry's head, and when he remembered last year when he went to invite a dance partner, "you can't look at that, you can't look at that, that's my private business—"

He felt a sharp pain in his knee. Snape's office came back into view, and he realized that he had moved to the ground; A foot slammed into Snape's desk in pain. He looked at Snape, who lowered his wand and rubbed his wrist. There was a terrible scar there, like a burnt mark.

"The performance was terrible." Snape said disdainfully, "Are you and Aitch really born as fellow citizens?" When he was in second grade, I couldn't see anything about him. ”

As Snape spoke, it was another raid, and he wasn't prepared to give Harry time to rest.

After a few times, Harry learned to be obedient, and he used the silent spell technique taught in Defence Against the Dark Arts class to cast the Iron Armor Charm.

When Snape tried to reinvent Harry's dementor again, the spell backfired, and Snape was clearly unprepared.

Harry's mind was again a movie clip, but this time, the protagonist was Snape.

Dumbledore gave the locket to Snape and the gold cup to Professor Sprout, the heads of Slytherin and Hufflepuff respectively, to keep them safe......

Snape followed Dumbledore into a manor, and in front of him, Dumbledore, Moody, and Mr. Weasley all drew their wands and followed vigilantly. Several of the people Harry knew from the Order of the Phoenix were here. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, wearing badges of identity, gathered around the place from all over the place.

The manor was quiet, and although the lights were on in the big house at night, there was no figure floating in the window.

Everyone had a vague sense that something was wrong, especially Moody, whose long career as a murderer had honed his extreme sensitivity to danger — some said that he had a serious persecution paranoia.

But Dumbledore believed him.

Dumbledore used his wand to create a barrier to keep the Aurors from exploring.

"Dumbledore! What are you doing again! Fudge was originally in the rear, but Dumbledore suddenly didn't let people move forward, but instead pulled everyone back, which made him very dissatisfied.

That night, Fudge summoned all the Aurors that the Ministry of Magic could mobilize here, just to encircle Voldemort, and with Dumbledore's help, Fudge was confident that he would take down the number one public enemy in the wizarding world. With such a political achievement in hand, the Fudge family will not have to worry for generations. But now Dumbledore was standing in his way.

However, Fudge's face soon turned violet-colored. Dumbledore raised his hand and shot a spell into the house, and the door crashed down, but there was no movement. In less than a minute, the whole house was sitting on top of an arsenal, and the sudden spark exploded, and it was directly taken to the sky on a piece of land.

In the dark of night, it was like a huge firework, it exploded in the air, and the people on the ground were unsteady and drunk.

When everything calmed down, Fudge looked at everything in the manor, and couldn't help but gasp, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and rejoiced: if it wasn't for Dumbledore to stop him, the people present would definitely have to go in, and the result was ......

Then I'm afraid something big is about to happen to the Ministry of Magic!

Harry glared at a gruff Snape, "Where is that?" ”

"Didn't you guess?" Snape laughed cruelly. "It's a pity that the Ministry of Magic didn't find anyone's bones after the fact, which means that the stupid dog is not dead."

Snape's explanation of the transformation made Harry unable to calm down, "So, why didn't you tell me?" That's my godfather! I have the right to know everything! ”

"Tell you?" Snape said bluntly, "Just as self-righteous as your father!" Tell you what's the use! ”

Harry stared at Snape, his eyes bloodshot, and again, he hated himself for being weak, and he couldn't beat Snape.

"That's all for today. But next time, I won't allow you to use this method, it won't help you practice Occlumency. Snape's tone was pleasant, as if Harry's face was ugly, it was his greatest pleasure.
