Chapter 427 425 I Go with Professor Potter?

Chapter 427 425. Shall I go with Professor Porter?

Jon and Lupine came to Paris together.

Unlike the British Azkaban, the French wizard prison is not that scary.

After Voldemort became the French Minister of Magic, the prisons in Britain and France were completely merged, and all serious prisoners were sent to Azkaban.

Now that the Witch Level Line has reoccupied France, a new wizard prison has been built near the suburbs of Paris, and those serious criminals who have committed the most serious crimes have been placed in the center of the base of the core combatants of the Witch Level Line. Of course, Snape was the most important among them.

It can be said that Snape is the highest-level Death Eater captured by the Wizards, except for the Lestranges who were killed by Jon himself.

Therefore, after being brought back to France, he was guarded by the highest level of security.

Not only were all the magic items confiscated, but the clothes on his body were also changed into simple prison uniforms, and his hands and feet were shackled. The cell where he was held did not even have a window except for a door. Not to mention things like ventilation ducts and sewers.

It seemed like the crime Snape had committed, after extracting all the useful information from his mind, he could be sent directly on his way.

However, Dumbledore postponed Snape's sentence because he wanted to take care of Lily, who was still in Finland at this time, handing over support supplies to several ministries of magic in Northern Europe. It seemed that he wanted Lily to take revenge.

But on the morning when Lily was about to come back, Snape disappeared in the cell!

At this time, many people had already arrived in this empty cell. Not only Dumbledore arrived in person, but Sirius, Moody, McGonagall and Lupin also rushed over.

Of course, no one raised any objections when Jon followed him. With his contribution to the Order of the Phoenix today, no one would treat him as an ordinary student.

"We only found this shattered denture and these two pairs of intact handcuffs and shackles in this cell."

Moody's gruff voice held a denture broken in half. There was nothing interesting about the shackles. The only thing worthy of attention was that Snape did not use any violent means to destroy it, just like It's the same as when a person becomes smaller and his hands and feet are taken out.

"This denture is hollow. Our people found the residue of the magic potion from its inner wall. The initial judgment is that he has always left a back-up in his mouth. When encountering this situation, , you can just bite the dentures in your mouth, drink the potion, and escape from the cell with the help of the potion that we have not yet tested. "

Looking at this cell, Sirius looked more irritable than anyone else here.

"This is impossible! We checked his whole body when he first fell into our hands! Our Aurors are all professionals and there will never be such an obvious omission!"

"But Snape is also a more professional potion master than anyone else." Luping said solemnly, "His talent in potions is undoubted, plus the experience he has enjoyed in the UK over the years. Various resources must have mastered many unknown potion formulas. Some potions are more miraculous than magic. Is it possible that our people were deceived by some kind of potion he drank? "

They made various guesses, but Dumbledore kept calmly observing the cell, and finally his eyes were fixed on the wall near the door.

He walked over, which of course attracted the attention of others.

Dumbledore touched the gap between the wall and the door. It was slightly damper than other places.

"He escaped from here."

Moody, who has decades of experience as an Auror, also noticed something was wrong with this place, and his magic eye was spinning.

"Is it a magic potion that can temporarily transform the human body?"

"Yes, like Polyjuice Potion, which can change a person's appearance, there are many other potions in the wizarding world that can turn the human body into dead objects, thereby replacing the effects of certain transfiguration spells." Dumbledore said softly.

Sirius had already walked out of the cell. He followed the dampness extending from the crack in the door to the outside, and soon found a very obvious trace.

"He hasn't been gone long, and he doesn't have a wand in his hand yet. We still have a chance to find it!"

After discovering this, Sirius did not stop and followed the traces out of the prison impatiently. Lupine and Moody also followed closely. Only Dumbledore and Jon took their time. followed at the end.

After Sirius and the others had disappeared from sight, Jon looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

Dumbledore also noticed his eyes, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"For a prisoner like Snape, especially if his life and death involves so many people, Professor, I don't think you would make such a stupid mistake and let him escape from here." Jon looked straight at him. said Dumbledore.

Dumbledore blinked.

"This is just your guess, Jon. Once people get older, they will always make mistakes. I am no exception. No one will always make mistakes."

But Jon didn't look away, he was still staring into Dumbledore's eyes.

"But Principal Grindelwald has always said that I have a gift for prophecy. I don't know why, Professor, I just feel that this matter has something to do with you."

Hearing his almost unreasonable judgment, Dumbledore seemed to have no other options. He suddenly asked Jon softly.

"Have you mastered your Animagus ability now?"

Jon felt that Dumbledore was asking seriously, not diverting the topic.

"I can probably use it now."

"What about the Phoenix-specific Apparition?"

"This is the focus of my practice. So far, I have basically made no mistakes."

Dumbledore lowered his voice.

"When Lily comes back and finds that Snape has escaped from prison, she will definitely want to track him down herself. You should take the initiative and say that you will go with her, and then follow her all the time. Be careful to protect her during this time. If anything unexpected happens, don't hesitate to turn into a phoenix and bring her back."

Jon twitched his eyes. Dumbledore obviously used him as Fawkes.

"No problem, no problem, but Professor, you can't not tell me any inside information, right? Why did you let Snape go?"

"I told you, Jon, Snape is actually a very pure person. This kind of purity made him become the Death Eater and executioner he is today, but it is also this kind of purity that makes him hateful and pitiful at the same time. And he is much more important than anyone can imagine. Even if I only knew this yesterday, I believe Voldemort will soon find this out, so his departure is very useful to us."

His words were somewhat contradictory. Since Snape is very important, why would it be useful for him to leave?

But Jon seemed to have thought of some of the problems, with a thoughtful look on his face, and did not continue to ask.

At this time, they had already walked out of the prison and came to an Auror station outside the prison.

At this time, because of Snape's escape, the lights here were bright, and every Auror was searching every corner of the station, and soon they made more discoveries.

Someone's wand was lost!

This is not a trivial matter, but the one who lost the wand was not the Auror in this station, but the French wizard in charge of logistics.

This cook was responsible for preparing food for the Aurors on night patrol. He had just fallen asleep in the morning, but he was awakened by the sound of searching in the station before he had rested for an hour, and then he found that his wand was missing.

When Jon and Dumbledore came over, Sirius and the others had already come to this room, and there were obvious traces of moisture on the ground.

"This station is attached with anti-apparition magic. Even if he got the wand, he couldn't just leave like this!" Moody's face was gloomy. He was the main person in charge of guarding Snape. Now that the prisoner ran away, of course he was the one who had the greatest responsibility.

Sirius rushed out first. The traces left by Snape were still there, but the air was very dry today. If they didn't hurry up, these clues would eventually be broken.

The group followed the traces left on the ground and followed them out of the station. When they were completely out of the range covered by the anti-Apparition magic, Sirius and the others looked uglier and uglier!

At this time, Lily, who had rushed back from Finland via Floo powder, finally arrived at the Auror station on the Witch Horizon.

There was no emotion on her face, but she followed them out of the station with a blank expression.

"What's the result?"

Seeing her like this, Sirius became a little nervous.

"He stole a wand, and now according to the traces left, he has left the prohibited Apparition range. Our professionals are conducting reconnaissance with the Flashback Spell to find out if there are any remaining Apparition records."

Lily did not speak again, she just looked up at Dumbledore.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you caught him?"

It has been five days since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, and Lily has no time to pay attention to the information from the UK because of her busy work in Finland.

Because Finland is located in the northernmost part of Europe, it is not very concerned about the situation in Britain and France. At the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament, Finnish magic newspaper reporters ran back first because they were afraid of death, so now they are all reporting again in the country based on the news from other newspapers.

Therefore, without any notification from anyone, Lily learned from the inside of the wizard line yesterday that Snape had been captured alive, but when she rushed back today, he had already escaped!

Dumbledore sighed.

"I wanted to give you some buffer time."

Jon looked at the old man with a slanted eye. If he didn't know the inside story, he really thought that Dumbledore didn't know how Snape ran away.

Lily didn't continue to question Dumbledore.

Hatred occupied her heart, but it didn't make her head go crazy. It wasn't her who caught Snape, so she had no reason to blame anything.

"It's just right to escape."

She said coldly, as if she was facing that empty look.

"I have to catch him with my own hands and kill him, only then can I be worthy of my husband and my son!"

Everyone around fell silent. Everyone knew what kind of deep hatred there was between Lily and Snape. If Snape hadn't overheard the most ridiculous prophecy in history and then reported it to his master, James and Harry wouldn't have died later.

After such silence for a long time, Dumbledore nodded gently and spoke.

"Wait for the result later. If he really used Apparition to leave, he wouldn't leave the station too far, because there would be more traces left, so we don't think we will wait too long."

Just as Dumbledore expected, because this was the base camp of the Aurors of the Witch Line, it didn't take much time to reconnaissance around the station. Soon a team of Aurors found the traces of Apparition in the woods near the edge of the station, and then used a spell to reversely deduce the landing point of this Apparition.

"It's in Knockturn Alley."

After learning where Snape was going, Sirius said restlessly.

"He must have gone back! Back to the Dark Lord, serving him!"

Lupin said calmly.

"Not necessarily. Don't forget that it was the Dark Lord who gave up on him at Hogwarts Castle. If he goes back now, let alone whether he can be reused, it is still unclear whether he can still have a foothold by the Dark Lord's side."

"Then why Knockturn Alley? If he doesn't want to go back to the Dark Lord, he can go anywhere in Europe!"

Lily had already drawn her wand, her voice was cold.

"He is not a fool. If he goes back to Voldemort, his future and life cannot be guaranteed, but he also knows that his destination cannot escape our search, and now the only place in Europe that is the least convenient for us to investigate and act is Britain."

Moody frowned and looked at her.

"You want to track him down in Britain?"

Lily did not answer his question, but looked up at Dumbledore.

"Do you know what has been the driving force that has kept me alive in this world, Professor Dumbledore."

She used the name she used in her school days, and quietly waited for Dumbledore's answer.

Dumbledore rubbed his brow.

"We can't send many people into Britain, so it will be dangerous to continue chasing in Knockturn Alley. That's why I won't agree to you taking risks alone, Lily."

The air became extremely quiet.

At this moment, Jon, who still looked like a six-year-old child and was only as tall as Lily's waist, tugged at her sleeve in time.

"Um, well, anyway, the Triwizard Tournament is over and I have nothing to do. How about I go with Professor Potter?"
