There have been new breakthroughs in research, but there are also new difficulties.

Snape looked more and more emaciated.

The antidote to wolfosis is not so easy to develop, the concept of animal nature and human nature is too idealistic, no matter how he adjusts the formula, the effect is still only the one that was researched at the beginning.

It's not just this thing that gives him a headache.

Voldemort wasn't an easy guy to deal with, he was sharp, especially now that he had brains - although Harry always said that Voldemort's brains might be better than Crookshan's.

In fact.

Voldemort is indeed as difficult as Crookshan.

Cunning and insidious, I don't know what kind of thoughts will pop up in my head anytime and anywhere.

He will always make some temptations when he is not aware of it.

Some temptations, even Snape didn't notice it immediately at the time, and only reacted afterwards, and was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he had never said anything good about Potter and Dumbledore, and didn't show any mistakes, which made him have to cheer up all the time, and be cautious of Bellatrix and them.

Until the last day of the Christmas holidays.

The last day of the year.

It's also Tom Riddle's birthday.

The Malfoy Mansion is newly furnished and brightly lit.

Snape arrived, stunned as he looked at the new courtyard, the new plants, and the Death Eaters still laid out to the left and right.

This is

Ready to celebrate your birthday?

He remembered Voldemort's birthday deeply, but this ridiculous idea was vetoed by him the moment it came to his mind, Voldemort has always been very resistant to the identity of "Tom Riddle", and he refused to even admit his name, how could he recognize that date?

At least since he became a Death Eater, he has never seen Voldemort celebrate his birthday.

Of course

It is not excluded that this young Dark Lord, who has just graduated for three years, still has such leisure and leisure.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

The Dark Lord had been replaced with a new robe, and his severed right hand was now replaced by a new, mercury-like arm.

"My dear Severus, you're here at last." Voldemort walked up to him, beckoned his hand, and hugged him, "You're one of the protagonists tonight." ”

"Thank goodness if you don't come, I'd like Lucius to take the risk of contacting you."

One of the main characters?

This word is crucial.

Snape's face was calm, and after letting go of the embrace, he bowed to Voldemort: "Master, your gift is an honor for my servants. ”

"Just."

He raised his head, a little puzzled: "What qualifications do I have to dare to be the protagonist in front of you." ”

Voldemort was pleased with his attitude: "No, my dear Severus, all my dear friends can be protagonists, and you are no exception. ”

"As for what."

"You'll find out later."

"Let's take care of it a little, today is a day to remember." As he said his last words, Voldemort was meaningful, and his gaze lingered on the kelp oil head for a long time.

Snape grimaced as he walked to the bathroom.

Originally, in his heart, Potter was the most hateful, and now the Dark Lord was on the same status as him.

What's going on with these two people

All want to wash their hair.

Is washing your hair fun? Long hair is too cumbersome to wash.

By the time Snape was done, he looked a little more formal, at least his hair was clean and no longer greasy. After he came out of the bathroom, the layout of the hall on the first floor was officially completed.

Voldemort beckoned to Snape, "Come here, my dear Severus, you should be by my side tonight." ”

Snape nodded and stepped forward.

That's when it happened.

The door to the hall was suddenly slammed open, and a man forced his way in, his face cold and his wand: "Dark Lord, and you Death Eaters!" When your time of death comes, take your hands quickly. ”

It's Pierce Hinkenis.

The goatee is so upright in the light.

Snape subconsciously drew his wand and aimed it at the man, his eyes sharp and fierce.

Damn it!

What's going on

The Ministry of Magic found out where the Death Eaters were, and they didn't talk to Phoenix socially, so they acted rashly?

Without Dumbledore and Potter, how could those crooked melons and cracked dates at the Ministry of Magic be the Death Eaters' opponents?

Don't talk about the Dark Lord, and don't talk about yourself.

It's Bella and Barty Jr., two of them who can clean up the Ministry of Magic.

"Severus, don't be so nervous." Just as Snape was hesitating whether to use his most handy blade or to cut off the man in front of him, Voldemort waved his hand and said briskly, "Put your wand down." ”

Snape hesitated, Panasonic wand.

Sinkenes, who was at the door, immediately put away his "righteous" temperament, walked in with a hunched waist, and said to Voldemort flatteringly: "Master, how do you see how I behaved just now?" ”

"It's like the Ministry of Magic." Voldemort clapped his hands and complimented him.

Snape's eyes were shocked.

Voldemort caught it, waved his hand, and explained seemingly casually: "Severus, do you think he can't be our friend?" ”

Snape nodded, "Dumbledore has always trusted him. ”

"I didn't expect him to always be"

Voldemort shook his head: "Always?" ”

"No, no, no, it's a new friend, he was our enemy before, but my dear godson, he does have some ability to convince Sinkenis to change his ways."

Sinkenis puffed out his chest, a little helpless, but also a little proud: "It was the master who gave me the position of Minister of Magic. ”

"This is something I have dreamed of but not obtained, and everything I have will be given to my master."

Snape nodded suddenly.

Sinkenes became a Death Eater, I'm afraid he didn't take the initiative as he said, he just got on the thief ship, and now he can't get off.

Voldemort smiled, took the two of them by the hand, and walked to the center of the hall.

"Now, both of our protagonists are there." He whispered, and everyone listened quietly, "So, let's start our meeting." ”

He spread his hand, took a few steps forward, turned around, and stood in front of them.

"Severus Snape." He pronounced the name.

Snape fell to his knees in front of him.

"I recognize your loyalty, and I recognize your deeds." Voldemort put his hand on his head, "After all, there are not many people who are willing to continue to do things for me after my accident, my dear godson is one, and you are one." ”

"I even broke an arm because of it."

"All, I will bestow you with the perfection of your limbs, how can a Potions Master have only one arm?"

He waved his wand with his other hand, and mercury gushed out.

In the center of the hall, it condensed into a large black mark.

"You have lost your glory, and I have given you more glory."

As the words fell, the snake in the skull burst out and bit Snape's severed arm in his left hand, leaving him pale and cold sweat falling.

Little by little, little mercury builds bones, blood vessels, muscles, and skin.

After a few long minutes, Snape had an arm identical to Voldemort's.

Bellatrix cast an envious look.

"Severus." Voldemort withdrew the hand that had rested on his head, "You are very good, I hope you will be my right-hand man, just like my dear godson." ”

"This is my glory and my pursuit." Snape responded.

Voldemort curled the corners of his mouth and looked away: "Pierce Hinkenis." ”

The Minister of Magic also knelt down.

Voldemort put his hand on his head, "I know, you may have some complaints in your heart, and the godson's methods of making you a Death Eater don't look honorable. ”

"No, I'm great." Sinkenes panicked.

With a flick of Voldemort's finger, he could no longer speak: "Listen to me." ”

"But I'll make you realize how honorable it is to be a Death Eater, and that being the Minister of Magic is just the beginning."

"Great Britain can't satisfy me."

"Still. I still have two biggest obstacles in Great Britain, a Potter, a Dumbledore, and Pierce, and I need your help. ”

At this, he paused.

"Your identity is special, and Potter and Dumbledore control the voice of the wizarding world of Great Britain, I, the great Voldemort, and you, the glorious Death Eaters, are stigmatized by them, and we are obviously for the greater future of wizards, but they have given them the name of evil."

"Reluctantly though."

"Pierce, Dark Mark, I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to you for a while."

Sinkenes didn't speak, didn't show any fluctuations in his expression, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"But, Pierce, your task is heavier than most."

Voldemort's tone became pleasant.

"Let's give Hogwarts a little surprise."

"Isn't the Ministry of Magic going to be on the side of the Death Eaters right now? Then stand up thoroughly. ”

"To prevent the persecution of that great savior, the Ministry of Magic should take over some of the order at Hogwarts, shouldn't it?"

"And Blake"

He smiled, "Blake has always been my friend, and their family is my most loyal followers, Pierce, and I think you know what I mean." ”

"Of course." Sinkenis nodded repeatedly, "Master, I'll want that damn Death Eater Sirius Black!" ”

Voldemort nodded, "Good, good." ”

Snape held his breath.

He could understand why Voldemort "trusted" himself so much, and told him these things so openly.

He pinched Dumbledore's temperament.

Ministry of Magic, Order. This is the death hole of the white-bearded old man.

He didn't care if he was a traitor or if he would tell Dumbledore about it, because it didn't work, it was the Ministry of Magic, not a Death Eater - and Sinkenis, the only one who knew he was a Death Eater, but what could he prove without the Dark Mark?

Tut.

He suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and all this burden, turned around, and fell on the Potter guy again.
