For the "Symposium" being held by Hermione, lupin and others in the small reception hall, Snape just leaned against the wall at the door and listened for less than half. Soon he was not interested in listening any more. After probably guessed the plan of Hermione and others, he turned and left directly.
With Snape's wisdom, naturally, in the transformation between Hermione's words, we have roughly captured the compassionate master's plan to go to Germany to kill the "devil" - for Snape, this is obviously nothing bad. After all, if Hermione and her colleagues can restrain the expansion of the second battlefield, Hogwarts, teachers and students And TIA will be safer.
But at least until then, Hermione and lupin had apparently nothing to do with their discussion of the plan. This time he hurried here from France, not to discuss with those crazy adults and children in the hall how to risk his life to save the world!
"Patter, patter, patter..."
Snape's unique footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, from the door of the small reception hall on the first floor to the lobby, and stopped on the carpet in the middle of the lobby.
This is Snape's second time here. When he first came here, he saw the existence hidden in the shadow of the corner in the deepest part of the hall. Since there is such a guard at the gate of the main hall, doesn't that mean that the "Lord of the living body" mentioned by Kingsley on his way over is mostly in that gate?
"Is your master there? I have something to do and want to see him."
Snape looked at the dimly visible figure in the shadow of the door corner and directly showed the reason why he was here.
With his keen, of course, he could feel the cold, sharp and undisguised threat coming from the other party's eyes. However, he seemed to be unaware, just looked at the other party without expression and waited for the other party's reply.
After a moment of looking at each other, a cold, somewhat late answer came out of the shadow on the side of the main hall door:
"The master can't be seen if anyone wants to."
This answer can be said that every word obviously shows a strong taste of rejection, mixed with a few lustful intolerance, as if he wanted Snape to retreat.
But now that Snape has come here, how can he leave easily?
Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, he still stared at the shadow with his wooden face. Without thinking about it, he said again:
"No problem. But if you can, you might as well tell your master for me first that I am Severus Snape - maybe it's not me who wants to see your master, but your master who wants to see me?"
The voice dropped a little, and there was a moment of silence. Snape didn't seem to care much about the stalemate as if the air had solidified, but then waited quietly for a while.
On the other hand, perhaps considering the attitude of their masters towards these human wizards; Or think that since this human being is so persistent, there may really be something important to tell the master, and completely rejecting the other party may damage the master's business. So after thinking about it for a while, even though he didn't want the human in front of him to disturb his master at all, he took a step back first:
"I remember your name. When I see the master, I will tell you. You can go now."
The other party's words were still stiff and rusty, but Snape soon understood the other party's meaning. Obviously, the "Lord of the living body" is probably out for the time being and is not in the main hall.
Well, it's definitely not a matter to wait here. It's meaningless to stay in the lobby.
"OK."
Snape thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, then turned decisively and left from the corridor door on the other side.
……
In the small meeting room, Hermione and others discussed with lupin and Kingsley for a long time. During this period, Hermione also asked Ginny and Hannah to go to the restaurant and ask for some food to fill Lupin's stomach. But to tell the truth, Hermione and his party couldn't decide the itinerary of the second battlefield immediately until they found that the current business had been beyond discussion, so they finally suspended the discussion temporarily.
"... you can rest here first! As I said just now, the living corpse side is still friendly and there is no threat to us. You can rest assured to sleep here."
Just now, when discussing the business, Hermione was in high spirits almost every second, because she knew how important the matter we were discussing was. Now, she had obviously relaxed a lot, and even her frown was slightly stretched.
But Lu Ping on the other side was still very serious:
"After all, they are living corpses. Even if they can get along well for the time being, it's only superficial. It's best not to relax."
"I can understand what you think, but... Well, forget it, I think you'll understand it soon." Hermione didn't make it too clear, but after saying so, suddenly the topic turned, looked at the door and said, "by the way, where's Professor Snape?"
Although Hermione successfully invited him here after catching up with Snape, who was one step ahead, in order to let the other party participate in the discussion, Snape, who only stayed by the door wall, was obviously absent-minded from the beginning.
Hermione and others, of course, knew the character of the professor who had been together for many years, so even if they noticed that the other party left halfway, they didn't stop it - everyone knows that few people can persuade him to take action.
Fortunately, everyone knows that even if Snape's temper is really bad, with his excellent mind, he probably won't cause anything in today's London.
Until now, the discussion on business finally came to an end, Hermione began to care about each other's whereabouts.
In fact, Hermione and others are also curious. What is Snape doing this time? According to the people's understanding of him, if there is no urgent matter, I'm afraid it's impossible to come all the way.
Well, at least it's definitely not like lupin and others who made a special trip to deliver intelligence messages and discuss follow-up plans for their hard-working "pioneers". Snape came here mostly for his own purpose.
"It's like... Going back," said Ron, who was sitting near the door with his father and Ginny. "I heard his footsteps when he left."
"Hall?" Hermione could not help but sip her mouth a little.
