Chapter 377 Voldemort's Breakthrough

Before Avro could call out to Draco, the boy disappeared in the crowd.

It was not until they sat down at the Gryffindor table that Harry told the truth.

"You don't think I'm cheating, do you?" Harry looked at Aphrodite anxiously. He saw that the girl's face was very solemn, and Hermione's expression was almost the same as Snape's.

In fact, Avro did not hear Harry's words clearly. She was still thinking about how to get Slughorn's secret and take this opportunity to tell Dumbledore the locations of the remaining Horcruxes.

"Yeah, you didn't do this independently at all." Hermione said her true feelings bluntly. She thought Harry was just taking shortcuts.

"He just followed a different method, so it's not considered cheating, right?" Ron defended his brother, "And no one can prove that the method in the book is correct. He just happened to succeed."

Harry kept staring at Afro, he only cared about his image in the girl's heart.

Afro smiled and brought over a few plates and placed them in front of them. She lowered her voice to comfort him, "Although it is indeed a little inappropriate, Harry, do you still remember the diary from the second grade?"

She paused, looked into those jewel-like green eyes and continued.

“This is likely to be a hidden danger.”

This sentence reminded Hermione, and she suddenly became alert. "What Afro said makes sense. We should check it out."

Afro naturally knew that this old book was a textbook that Snape used when he was a teenager, but she wanted to remind Harry not to easily trust things he picked up.

This new habit is a bad one.

"It's nothing, just an old textbook that has been used by someone." Harry said this, but still obediently handed the book in the bag to Afro.

Hermione snatched it away and tapped the cover with her wand. "The truth is revealed!"

There was silence at the table, nothing happened.

"It's just an ordinary notebook." Harry was a little angry. He pulled out the textbook forcefully and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

Hermione, still eyeing his bag suspiciously, repeated discouragedly, "It's quite ordinary."

"Okay, Hermione." Afro thoughtfully put the spoon in her palm and stroked the slightly irritated Hermione up and down. "Eat first. Even if there is a problem, it will come out sooner or later."

Compared to the cheerful Hogwarts, Nott's Manor located deep in the woods is obviously more depressing.

Voldemort's face became increasingly gloomy. He sat on the high seat with his head down, with the obedient Nagini at his feet.

"Can anyone tell me where my friend Amycus Carrow is?"

The long table below was filled with Death Eaters, wearing black and grey cloaks and robes, looking up in awe.

But no one spoke.

Bella, who used to be the most active, was like a quail, curled up in her chair and dared not look up.

After her last failure, the master was very dissatisfied with her. Even after she successfully completed several tasks, the master was still indifferent to her.

Voldemort glanced at the Death Eaters who were pretending to be mute, and his snake-like voice echoed in the room.

"Or, one of you found Rookwood."

The empty hall was still silent.

Only the occasional sound of Nagini swallowing her tongue and crawling could be heard.

"He may have escaped during the Ministry's operation, my lord." said a hooded wizard, his voice hoarse as if he had swallowed sandpaper in his throat.

Voldemort lowered his head and gently stroked Nagini's head. The slippery scales had a hint of coolness and fishy smell.

"It looks like my friend Carlo disappeared in the same way."

"Brother won't." Alecto said in a trembling voice.

She remembered Amycus telling her that he was going to spy on Snape, and then he disappeared.

If she was asked who killed her brother, the first person she thought of was Snape.

"It must be Snape! He was the one who attacked my brother."

Alecto seemed to have grasped at straws, frantically telling how likely it was that Snape had defected to Dumbledore.

"He disappeared when his master fell from power! He never tried hard, and he and Harry Potter were both at Hogwarts. He had many opportunities to finish him off. Why is he still alive?"

Alecto yelled like a madman, and everyone present watched her performance as if it were a good show.

In fact, everyone had some complaints about Snape, but since the Dark Lord didn't mind, why should they doubt him?

How much is the monthly salary? Just make sure you are worthy of the salary your master gives you!

Voldemort watched the woman's performance with great interest, and finally said calmly, "Do you think he could deceive the most accomplished Legilimency master in the world?"

Alecto finally came to her senses and realized how stupid she had been.

"Master, I..."

"Snape has always been committed to intelligence in the rear." Old Nott leaned over and said in a low voice. He raised his head and looked at Alecto, who had a ferocious face.

"But he didn't do anything," said Everly angrily. "He wasn't there at the Ministry last time either!"

"But you weren't there either? You didn't even do anything." Old Nott rolled his eyes at her and turned his head to look at Voldemort who was sitting in the first seat.

Voldemort watched the quarrel among his men with a headache. He didn't know why he always felt that there was a haze hanging over his head.

Some of the previous Death Eaters defected, some disappeared, and some were captured.

The remaining few crooked and broken ones are of no use at all.

His gaze finally fell on Bella, "Bellatrix, my most loyal and reliable partner, can you help me find these missing friends?"

Bella stared at Voldemort without blinking, with a kind of obsession and fanaticism in her eyes.

"Of course, my master." She raised her voice and spoke softly. Her pretending to be gentle and affectionate really disgusted others.

The sun shines through the clouds onto the top of the castle tower, like a dazzling star falling on the roof.

In the remaining magic classes this week, Harry continued to make potions according to the marks in the Half-Blood Prince's book.

As a result, he received high praise from Slughorn, who said that he was a rare genius student.

Hermione was very unhappy about this, and even though Harry took out the book to share with them, Hermione still followed the instructions in the book without wavering.

Ron wanted to be like Harry, but he couldn't read the Half-Blood Prince's handwriting.

Afro made the same choice as Hermione, mainly because the system did not allow her to "borrow".

"Ding! The host's violent emotional fluctuations have been detected. Adjusting the system tasks now."
