Chapter 447 445 People Are Not Enough

Chapter 447 445. Not enough people

Jon immediately thought that this neat old man with a clean appearance, especially with his hair so neatly taken care of, could never be Snape.

But Polyjuice Potion, a transformation potion, did not require Snape to take care of his hair before transforming. As long as he drank the potion himself, that would be fine.

So Jon didn't give up his suspicion because of this, but turned to look at Lily.

Lily didn't look at Jon. After she saw the old man, she pretended to be nonchalant and patted the grass clippings on Jon's clothes.

"Don't look, it's him. Even if he turns gray, I can recognize him at a glance."

Jon thought silently in his heart, if Snape heard this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

Lily sat back on the tablecloth, as if she was controlling her inner emotions.

"Wait a minute, there are too many people here, and it's easy to accidentally get hurt if there's a fight."

Jon couldn't help but look at Lily a few more times. No matter how much hatred was squeezing her heart, Lily's heart must not have changed. She was still a kind person after all.

However, just when Jon took out a small piece of cake from the meal basket, smacked his lips and was about to enjoy a pre-dinner snack, Lily suddenly continued to speak.

"We are too far away from him. It would be easy to arouse his vigilance by approaching so rashly. Didn't those little girls just call you to come over and play? You should join them now."

Holding the spoon, Jon, who had just put the cream dotted with half a strawberry into his mouth, stood still as if he was petrified.

Did you agree to take a vacation?

You still have to play with the naive little girl, right?

As if she felt Jon's eyes that instantly turned resentful, Lily smoothed a few strands of hair behind her ears.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jon."

Jon had no choice but to stand up from the tablecloth and put the missing piece of cream cake in his hand back to its original position.

"Okay, okay, then let me meet these little girls!"

He calmed down the expression on his face, and in the next second he showed a sunny and cheerful smile of a boy next door, and then headed towards the direction of the bench where Snape was sitting, where a group of little kids were gathering. place to go.

When Jon got closer, he realized that this place was actually a sandy area, and seven or eight children were piling sand here.

"Hi! Do you still need a reliable helper to join? Although I don't have the tools in my hands, I'm sure I am a professional."

Jon was arrogant on the inside, but acted like a social cow on the outside, greeting these children with a bright face.

The three little girls who had invited Jon were immediately happy when they saw that he was willing to take the initiative to join.

"Haines is building a castle! If you are willing to join, we can give you the right to name the castle! What is your name?"

"Alpa Brak, just call me Alpa." Jon walked into the sand naturally ("Wait a minute, didn't we agree to call it Haines Castle?" A boy followed with a sad face. explain).

"Alpa!" A little girl held Jon's hand enthusiastically, "Alpa Castle is a great name!"

"Just call him Haynes, I like that better."

While Jon was dealing with the social interaction among the children, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the old man Lily identified as "Snape" sitting five meters away from him.

He took the toy shovel from the boy who regarded him as a good brother because Jon recognized the name Haynes, and at the same time determined that he had not revealed anything, and the old man could not tell anything even at a close distance. Exception comes.

However, just when Jon was about to turn his attention to the sand beneath him and look at the building that the children called a castle but was actually more like a mud house with a painful look on his face, a clear and obviously sarcastic voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"The captain of the Hogwarts, Dumbledore's favorite student, and the champion of the Triwizard Tournament would actually play in the sand here with a group of Muggle children."

There was no movement on Jon's face. It was as if he didn't hear the words. He first glanced in the direction of Lily. Lily was very cautious. She only occasionally turned her head to pretend to be a caring mother. Looking at this pile of sand, he spent the rest of the time busy preparing lunch on the tablecloth.

The children around them didn't seem to hear anyone talking at all, and were still planning their castle with great interest.

Jon did not look at the old man who was absolutely 100% sure to be Snape sitting on the bench. He used a toy shovel to collect the floating sand on the surface of the sand.

"Your talking habits are destined to never find a wife in your life."

He couldn't see the expression on Snape's face at this moment because he didn't look up, but the brief silence was enough to show that this sentence had a lot of lethality on Snape, even if Jon didn't name him.

"I said, what on earth do you want to do here like playing hide-and-seek? Do whatever you want to do. I also want to go to the beach to play before summer is fully here."

Jon turned sideways and lowered his head, preventing Lily from seeing his mouth moving in the distance, and avoiding her from discovering the communication between the two.

Snape was finally able to speak honestly, but his voice was still as low as ever.

"There are not enough people."

Jon transported all the sand produced to the kids, and played the role of a slacker.

"What people are not enough? Can't you see how many Aurors and Death Eaters are looking for you in the alley of your hometown? How many more people do you want them to come?"

"There are only two gangs now."

Jon was shocked.

"How many more gangs do you want to come to you? There is no one else in the magic world now except the two gangs that are looking for you, right?"

"Shallow vision."

Jon was a little unhappy to be mocked by this old bachelor.

"Shallow is shallow, don't play dumb with me, why are you deliberately showing off your presence here today? Do you want Professor Potter to know that you are not dead?"

"Some people have discovered the place where you live, don't treat them as fools like the current British Ministry of Magic."

After saying these words, Snape stood up from the bench calmly. It seemed that the purpose of his appearance here was just to give Jon and the others such a reminder.

"Honestly, can you tell me why you are willing to help us again? Don't tell me that you have always been on our side and have been a spy before."

Snape did not answer Jon's question immediately. He stood up from the bench and looked at Lily who had noticed this from a distance. Then he left a promise to Jon before disappearing.

"Wait until you catch me. Then I can answer your question."

After saying this, he disappeared.

Disappeared in a gap where no one except Lily and Jon noticed him. Even the children who were excitedly creating castles on the sand did not notice that the old man who was originally sitting on the bench was gone.

Lily could not stay any longer. She left the lunch that had not been prepared yet and walked quickly to Jon.

"What did he find?"

Jon shook his head.

"No, I felt like it was time for him to go out and relax today, so he left directly."

Lily's face was very ugly. Today, Snape appeared in front of them and left in front of them.

Jon comforted her a few words, and then the two returned to the camping tablecloth. No matter what happened, lunch had to be eaten.

But it was obvious that Lily's mood would not improve in a short time. They didn't even know whether Snape had discovered them. Who could guarantee that he would come here next time?

Although Jon could secretly promise, he obviously couldn't say these words openly.

Jon had a very happy picnic, while Lily looked absent-minded.

After lunch, they naturally had no need to stay here any longer. After packing up their things, they returned to the hotel they would change every three days.

But Jon didn't go in with Lily, but took a walk around the hotel in the name of digesting food after dinner.

His goal of walking was very clear, which was to choose some buildings around the main entrance of the hotel where they lived. It didn't take long for Jon to find it.

It was a house that looked very old. The gray exterior matched the style of the city, but the mailbox outside the yard was full of postcards and letters, and even the delivery port was blocked. However, the door of the house was not locked, and the shutters on the inside of the window were half-open. Someone could vaguely see someone walking inside.

Someone lived there but no one received the letter. This was very much like the habit of wizards. There would be no mailboxes in normal wizard families, because they used owls to deliver letters and could find the recipients at any time. So if a wizard occupied a Muggle's house, they would probably ignore the mailbox.

However, this was just a doubt and could not prove anything, but Jon did not need more proof. Just having doubts was enough.

He strolled to an empty alley, then took out the invisibility cloak from his robe pocket and put it on, and then returned to the suspicious house. After sneaking into the yard, Jon took out an ear-shaped object from his pocket against the wall.

Put one end against his ear, and the other end will extend into the crack of the door under the effect of magic.

Some of George Fred's inventions are already finished products, such as the retractable ear that Jon is using now, which can provide him with great help.

After the other end of the retractable ear is inserted into the door, the sound in the room is clearly transmitted to Jon's ears.

"I've had enough! The food you cook is terrible, Kevin! At least take something back from those Muggle restaurants! Why do we have to endure this?"

"Don't eat if you don't want to! There are two carrots in the kitchen. You can chew them! Don't forget what we are doing. Those two people are very alert. If they find that we have thrown out the garbage and there are many take-out boxes, it will definitely arouse their vigilance!"

"Carrots are carrots! It's better than eating this plate of shit! Rufis? What are you doing in the kitchen? Bring me those two carrots!"

"Sorry, I've already bitten them. If you still want to eat, I see there are some onions in the basket."

"You idiot! You want me to eat raw onions? Give me one of the carrots in your hand!"

"You are too loud. Don't wake up the family upstairs."

At this time, there was a "crunch, crunch" sound like chewing carrots.

"Then cast another Stunning Spell on them. I really don't understand. Are they crazy? They actually asked us to follow Dumbledore's people. This is Britain. If there is any discovery, shouldn't the Aurors be the first to find out?"

"Don't question the decision above. We just need to do it. Besides, don't you know what level the Aurors and our colleagues are at? They are about to turn the city upside down in the past two days."

"I just want to know how long we will suffer here! Don't cook next time. I think it might be healthier for us to eat the ingredients raw!"

"Wait until Snape shows up. If you want to chew on raw beef, you can go now."

Hearing this, Jon carefully retracted his retractable ears.

The people in the back room will only have endless nagging, and there will be no more valuable information.

Jon doesn't need other information. He can judge a lot of things based on this alone. He deftly climbed over the fence again and returned to the alley to take off the invisibility cloak.

This group of people are obviously related to Voldemort but they are not his men. They just said that the Aurors and their colleagues, the only openly acting wizards in this city now, apart from the British Aurors, are the Death Eaters.

This means that these people are actually Death Eaters!

But they are obviously not working for Voldemort, so whose orders are they following?

Jon thought about this obvious question, which is of course easy to guess.

Death Eaters will only be loyal to one person, since it is not the current Voldemort, it can only be another one!

What Jon did not expect the most from this discovery was that the other Voldemort No. 2 actually reconnected with a group of people so quickly to continue serving him.

He thought that in the state of his soul being burned by the fire of Nirvana in Hogwarts Castle, he would have to be honest for at least a year and a half, but it turned out that less than a month had passed.

So is this group of people one of the two gangs mentioned by Snape?

If not, besides Voldemort No. 1, Voldemort No. 2, and himself and Lily, will there be other people looking for Snape in this city?

Just as Jon was thinking about this question, as if fate was deliberately fulfilling his guess, a familiar figure suddenly hurriedly walked past him.
