The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 639 Disciple
Even if he killed Albus Dumbledore himself, Voldemort still would not completely trust Snape. Voldemort would not trust anyone. He only believed in himself, in strength, and in the big snake lying in the corner.

Voldemort's eyes were fixed on Snape, waiting for Snape's next answer.

"The Order of the Phoenix does not trust the Ministry of Magic. First, they believe that we will infiltrate the Ministry of Magic from all angles, and that the Aurors are not capable of protecting Harry Potter." Snape said slowly amid the rampant laughter of the Death Eaters. "The most important point is that Drizzt's ambiguous stance also cannot gain their trust."

"Ambiguous stance?" Voldemort pondered the meaning of this sentence. "Interesting. Tell me more, Severus."

The interest of the Death Eaters at the long table was also piqued, and they leaned over to look at Snape.

Ada had ruined the good situation of the Death Eaters time and time again. These people had long hated her to the core and wanted to eat her flesh and sleep on her skin.

In order to win the war and to dispel the hatred in their hearts, the Death Eaters collected a lot of information about Ada and analyzed her.

The result was not optimistic. In the eyes of the Death Eaters, "family" was Ada's weak point.

However, her family members were either veteran dark wizards like Vida Rosier, or Arthur Weasley, the Minister of Magic, or Minerva McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, none of whom were easy to deal with.

It is also not easy to place people around Ada, as she stays in the office of the Ministry of Magic all day long and rarely goes out.

The men she brought back from France were also outside the Ministry of Magic and could not be arrested, let alone bribed or cast the Imperius Curse on them.

The Death Eaters were a little confused about what Snape meant by "ambiguous stance".

What they knew about Esmeralda Drizzt's position, wasn't that that of being hostile to their master?

Seeing everyone's confused look, Snape smiled and said calmly: "Master, Dumbledore is known as the 'greatest wizard of our time'. Why was his wand removed so easily by Theodore Nott? Nott is only in the sixth grade. He may not even be able to beat his classmates. How did he accomplish this feat?"

It's not that no one among the Death Eaters had thought about the question that Snape suddenly asked, but Dumbledore had been buried for a long time, so who cared how he was defeated by Theodore Nott!

Since we have such a good result, the process is not that important.

"What do you mean, Severus?" Voldemort asked. "Have you discovered something that we have not discovered before?"

Snape hesitated for a few seconds, and then he continued, "Yes, Master. I carefully recalled the situation that night. Dumbledore was very weak at the time. I think he was injured, so it was effortless for our Mr. Nott."

After listening to Snape's analysis, Voldemort looked at Bellatrix, who was sitting on his left, wanting to hear her opinion.

Bellatrix also invaded the Astronomy Tower that night and witnessed the entire process of Dumbledore's death. But at this moment, her face was only confused and bewildered, and this reaction disappointed Voldemort.

That night in the Astronomy Tower, Bellatrix was too carried away by her pride. She was only focused on laughing at Dumbledore's weakness at that moment and didn't pay any attention to his condition or whether he was injured.

Even if the Carrow siblings and Greyback came back alive, they would not be able to provide any evidence for Snape. Their behavior was exactly the same as Bellatrix's, a typical case of a villain succeeding.

Even though no one could provide evidence to support Snape's statement, Voldemort already knew it. Theodore Nott had neither poison nor superb skills, so how could he disarm Dumbledore?

Snape had reminded Voldemort of this suspicion tonight.

"Master, Dumbledore had already changed his wand before that night, and his old wand appeared in Drizzt's hands again. I think it is clear who hurt him." Severus Watson Snape continued.

Voldemort withdrew his gaze. He had also noticed this when he fought with Ada that night. He had some guesses in his mind as to why Ada had taken Dumbledore's wand.

“Besides the wand?” demanded Voldemort.

The fact that the wand changed hands alone can indeed prove that Ada fought with Dumbledore and won. However, if we only use this to determine Ada's position, it still lacks something that can be final. "Drizzt is not a person who obeys discipline." Snape replied, "She had disputes with Dumbledore more than once during her time at school. In 1992, an irreparable rift appeared between the two, and Umbridge in 1995 made the two go their separate ways directly."

That year, Voldemort was possessed by Quirrell, and he remembered this incident. At that time, Drizzt had conflicts with many students and left school for a month. When he came back, he was trying to stop himself from getting the Philosopher's Stone.

The story of Dolores Umbridge is well known to the world. Voldemort, who was hiding in the dark at the time, even mocked Dumbledore's weakness.

"anything else?"

Not enough, not enough. The difference in ideas and the change of ownership of the wand were not enough to drive the Order of the Phoenix apart from Ada. The damn Order of the Phoenix also had the half-blood McGonagall and that pure-blood scum Weasley!

"Grindelwald, Gellert Grindelwald," Snape replied. "She was his disciple."

His answer was like a bombshell dropped in a dark room, causing a commotion around the long table.

Although Grindelwald's power has never entered the British Isles, everyone present has heard of this name to some extent, and some of their families have contributed to Grindelwald's career.

When the first Dark Lord swept across Europe and America, Voldemort was still studying at Hogwarts, pretending to be a good boy in front of his professors. It was many years later that Voldemort ran rampant in England and imposed a dark rule on wizards.

"Oh? How do you know about this?" Voldemort became more interested. Snape brought extremely important news, no less important than Harry Potter's transfer time.

How did Snape know that? Of course Ada told him, how else could he know that?

Can Snape say that? Of course not, that would be courting death!

Facing Voldemort's suspicious eyes, Snape said calmly: "Dumbledore trusted me, very much. Until his death, he firmly believed that I had turned from evil to good. He once said that he regretted not teaching Drizzt himself and should not have handed her over to his old friend. Drizzt also told me that she said she learned a lot from an old man."

Although Rita Skeeter is still in Azkaban, there are many people like Rita Skeeter in the world, and the book "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore" was published.

Anyone who has read this book knows that when they were young, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were very close and had a common dream: for the greater good, wizards should rule the world.

The light of the fire flickered, making Voldemort's face flicker.

The Dark Lord felt that his suspicions had been confirmed, that he had pieced the whole thing together, with more information than Snape had ever gotten.

Differences in ideas and numerous contradictions may not be enough to make Drizzt take risks. What if the Elder Wand is added?

Through the torture of Ollivander, Voldemort learned that Gregorovitch might have once possessed the Elder Wand, and that Drizzt was also interested in it.

Through the torture of Gregorovitch, Voldemort learned more about the Elder Wand's bloody past and knew that the change of ownership of the Elder Wand would be a major event that would shock the wizarding world.

During that period, was there anything more shocking than the duel in 1945?

Thinking of this, Voldemort suddenly laughed, and his laughter was like the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue in search of food.

Gellert Grindelwald's disciple? How ridiculous, just a fool taught by the loser in prison.

Dumbledore can defeat Grindelwald with the Elder Wand, and the great Voldemort can also defeat Esmeralda Drizzt!
