Especially since Voldemort liked to use Legilimency to explore the memories and thoughts of his subordinates unscrupulously, every time he faced Voldemort, Snape's Occlumency would be used to the extreme.
He had to resist Voldemort's Legilimency and prevent Voldemort from exploring his true thoughts, while also leaving no trace and preventing him from discovering that he was maintaining the brain block.
With Voldemort's sparring, even Dumbledore was no match for Snape in the spell of Occlumency alone.
The Imperius Curse cast by an ordinary wizard wouldn't even be enough to make him lose consciousness for a moment.
But even so, he still fell under the spell of an unknown stranger.
Dumbledore and Moody took a lot of effort to reawaken Snape's consciousness, and according to his suggestion, they found a bottle of Buffy's Brain Refresher for him.
Bafe Brain Refresher can enhance the brain power of the drinker. In simple terms, it makes people smarter and have better memory. It is a very rare medicine.
But the good thing here is Hogwarts,
Ravenclaw students like to use this potion to improve their efficiency when studying, but some students like to be lazy and use Bafe's Brain Refresher before exams.
However, taking the potion and then entering the examination room is considered cheating in the wizarding world, and the use of Buffer's Brain Refresher is strictly prohibited during examinations, so Snape would confiscate one or two bottles of Buffer's Brain Refresher from students who had not hidden them before the exams every year.
Under Snape's guidance, Dumbledore found a bottle of Buffy's Brain-Stimulating Potions in his office.
After taking the potion, Snape was finally able to fight against the force in his brain that had been trying to tamper with his thoughts.
Moody and Professor McGonagall did not go with Dumbledore when he came face to face with Voldemort.
Professor McGonagall was there to maintain order, while Moody was busy fighting the alien forces in the box and his mind and had no time to take care of other guardians like Snape.
Dumbledore asked the most pressing question: "What happened?"
Snape opened his eyes, his throat moved, and he licked his cracked lips. He stared at the empty quiet room in a trance, trying to piece together his broken memories:
"After the first assessment, before the Christmas ball started, I went out to buy gilly grass. But gilly grass is scarce and not widely used. I found several familiar herbalists but couldn't find any."
"In the end it was at the Hog's Head Inn..." Snape paused unconsciously and noticed Dumbledore's expression.
Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner of the Hog's Head, is Albus Dumbledore's younger brother, but the two have a terrible relationship.
Seeing that Dumbledore's expression remained the same, Snape continued, "There, I finally bought gillyweed from a smuggler."
"After leaving the Hog's Head, someone stood in front of me, showing the Death Eater symbol, and said that person wanted to see me."
Now that Voldemort has been resurrected, the old fear has once again loomed over the wizarding world.
Even Snape did not dare to say his name easily. Voldemort set an incredible spell on his name. As long as someone called his name within the British territory, he would sense it.
Although Snape agreed to Dumbledore and became an undercover agent hidden among the Death Eaters, he was still very afraid of Voldemort.
"That Death Eater was Barty Crouch Jr. I was a little hesitant, not knowing why that person suddenly wanted to find me in such a big way, but Barty Crouch Jr. didn't wait for my consent. He grabbed my hand and used the portkey to teleport me to another place."
"And then... I don't remember what happened clearly." Snape first covered his head, then hit his head with his hands, trying hard to think about what happened after that day.
"I just remember seeing a hand emitting blue flames pressing on my forehead, and then I felt my mind being distorted."
"Everything she said was for Lily's own good. Only by doing everything she taught me can I help Lily."
Snape's words suddenly became vague, like the murmur of a believer.
Dumbledore shouted, "Severus!"
Snape's whole body trembled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he woke up from a nightmare. He groaned in pain: "That power is still disturbing me. It is definitely not the Imperius Curse, but it is far more insidious and tricky than the Imperius Curse."
Snape gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "This spell actually used my love for Lily as a breakthrough point and almost made me break my promise to Lily."
"I will never let them go."
Snape didn't care about being framed. What he hated was that person actually took advantage of the love of his life.
Snape's excellent brain-blocking skills meant that the man's spell did not work completely, so he still retained the impression of the person who attacked him in his subconscious.
She, is it she? It is a woman.
But Dumbledore searched his memories and could not imagine that there was a woman in Europe who could cast a spell similar to the Imperius Curse that even Snape could not resist.
"Rest well first, and don't leave Hogwarts for the time being. Voldemort is likely to contact you again in the near future."
Snape was already exhausted and dispirited by the torture of the spells in his mind. Naturally, he had no objection to Dumbledore's opinion. He nodded slightly and fell into meditation again to clear away the remaining strange power in his mind.
Chapter 297 Overturning the Chess Game
Hogwarts is very noisy today. The classrooms are empty, but the playground is full of people.
Today is the day when the new friends who came to participate in the Goblet of Fire are returning. The students of Hogwarts are not in the mood to study. They all come to see their new friends off and say goodbye to the new friends they have made in the playground.
The students were sad to say goodbye to their new friends, and the professors understood and did not spoil their mood. Instead, they were open-minded and gave them a day off.
The sentimental Hermione, with tears in her eyes, exchanged email addresses and phone numbers with Hu Xiuwu.
There is no way, owls cannot enter the country.
Firstly, they are easy to be deceived, and secondly, foreign couriers entering the country also need to report.
The same goes for birds.
There were also many Hufflepuff students who surrounded Hu Xiuwu and gave him many special candies and foods from the British wizarding world. Finally, the Hufflepuff class leader, as a representative, solemnly gave Hu Xiuwu a notebook.
The notebook contains the recipes of Hufflepuff, which records all the dishes created by Hufflepuff throughout his life. It is also one of the few manuscripts left by the four founders of Hogwarts.
Of course, the copy given to Hu Xiuwu was not the original, but a copy they had copied for him as a thank you gift for his free teaching of oriental cuisine.
Hu Xiuwu really likes this notebook. Hufflepuff is not only a gourmet, but also a master of herbal medicine. Many of her dishes are similar to oriental medicinal foods. Herbs can be used to nourish the five internal organs, which is worth studying.
In addition to the people from Hogwarts, Fleur, the warrior of Beauxbatons, also came to say goodbye to him, holding her sister Gabrielle.
Gabrielle threw herself on Hu Xiuwu, crying and reciting French, asking Hu Xiuwu not to forget her and to keep in touch.
Compared to the lively scene on Hu Xiuwu's side, Zhang Lingyu's side was much quieter. Only Harry took Ron to say goodbye to Zhang Lingyu.
Logically speaking, Zhang Lingyu's popularity in Hogwarts shouldn't be so high, but Hu Xiuwu had eliminated Furong and Cedric ruthlessly in the maze in front of Zhang Lingyu, which immediately ruined his reputation among the students of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons.
He was blamed for nothing. If it were anyone else, they would have turned against Hu Xiuwu or complained about him. However, Zhang Lingyu, who had a clear mind and a heart as bright as the moon, not only said nothing, but even thanked Hu Xiuwu for helping him out of danger.
This is indeed the truth, but few people can put aside external interference, see the facts clearly, and make rational judgments.
In addition, there is another major factor that makes Hogwarts students unwilling to approach Zhang Lingyu, and that is the suitcase that Zhang Lingyu is holding in his left hand.
Inside the suitcase was the Goblet of Fire's reward, a thousand gold coins for the winner, and most importantly,
Goblet of Fire.
The British wizarding community kept their promise and handed over the custody of the Goblet of Fire to Mount Longhu. The Goblet of Fire will be kept on Mount Longhu until the next Goblet of Fire Tournament begins.
This Goblet of Fire Tournament was full of unexpected events, and even the British Ministry of Magic itself was implicated. It is estimated that for a long time, no one on the European continent will want to restart the Goblet of Fire.
In fact, some people think that the Goblet of Fire should not be handed over to people outside the European continent, as the Goblet of Fire is a treasure belonging to the European continent.
However, Spencer and Dumbledore insisted on fulfilling their promise.
Dumbledore didn't want to ruin the reputation of Hogwarts for a dead object, while Spencer simply wanted to give the Goblet of Fire away.
Since the Emerald Society cannot obtain the Goblet of Fire, the Goblet of Fire cannot remain in Europe.
The Goblet of Fire was made from the golden branches of the sacred tree and is a relic of the Forest Kingdom. As long as it appears in Europe, people will remember the Forest Kingdom of the past.
As the actual controller of the alien world in Europe today, the Emerald Society least wants anyone to miss the Forest Kingdom that once ruled Europe.
They had long wanted to take back or destroy the Goblet of Fire. If neither was possible, sending it away as far as possible was also acceptable.
Without the help of the Emerald Society, this Goblet of Fire would probably be the last.
The actual controller of the alien world in Europe, Spencer, the president of the Emerald Society, and Dumbledore, the strongest wizard in Europe, have reached an agreement, so no one in Europe can disobey this order.
As for why the Goblet of Fire was given to Mount Longhu, it was not because of Nadutong. Although Nadutong was the one leading the team this time, the one invited was Mount Longhu, a sect that teaches others. These students would only feel humiliated when they saw the Goblet of Fire being taken away by an outsider.
Hu Xiuwu looked at the innocent and young faces beside him and sighed.
This may be the last innocent and carefree time for students.
Once the Ministry of Magic had dealt with its internal mess, the news of Voldemort's return would have spread, and they would no longer have such an easy time.
Parents who have experienced the shadow of Voldemort hanging over the wizarding world will be afraid, and their panic will affect their children.
However, Hu Xiuwu has done what he can. They will take a plane to leave England today, and the rest can only be done in
From now on, he will be in China, thousands of miles away from England. Even if the Queen of England dies, for people in China, it will only be a topic of conversation after dinner and material for people to show off their feelings on the Internet.
The farewell party ended only after the Heavenly Master, Dumbledore, Spencer and other elders and leaders had finished their greetings.
Beauxbatons flew directly back to school in his flying carriage, and Behemoth had already left this morning. Perhaps he knew that he was not welcome and felt guilty, so he left early.
As for those who can go anywhere, they still have to use the Floo Network to go to the airport, but this time no one will be left behind. Tianshi and Zhang Lingyu are not very proficient in foreign languages, but they can still pronounce simple words standardly.
Zhang Lingyu, who was quietly queuing with the box containing the Goblet of Fire in his hand, felt that the line seemed a bit long. He turned back curiously and found that the students from Durmstrang were also queuing obediently behind him.
Don't they have ships? Why are they using the Floo Network?
Zhang Lingyu, who was suspicious, pulled the collar of Hu Xiuwu in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why are the people from Durmstrang looking at us like that?"
Hu Xiuwu glanced at the back of the team and said casually, "Oh~, them."
"You may not know this, but after the news of Voldemort's resurrection came back that day, the headmaster of Durmstrang ran away."
"It would have been fine if he had just run away, but he actually took advantage of the night to drive away Durmstrang's magic ship."
At that time, Dumbledore and Moody were in the box, talking to Snape. No one was watching him, and Hogwarts didn't check him, so he really ran away.
Without the ship, the students of Durmstrang could only use the Floo Network to return to Germany first, and then return to Durmstrang.
After hearing about this, even Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but complain: "So that's how it is. These students are too miserable."
It was a strange thing that he came out to participate in a competition and after it ended his own principal drove away on a boat.
Zhang Lingyu started chatting with Hu Xiuwu: "Speaking of which, why didn't we see Mr. Barty Crouch this time?"
Hu Xiuwu shook his head and didn't say anything. Hua Ming, who had been listening to their idle chat behind them, took over the conversation: "Mr. Barty Crouch is dead."
Zhang Lingyu was shocked and said, "Dead! How is that possible!"
Although he was not interested in politics, he had heard that Barty Crouch would be the next Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom.
How could such a great man die suddenly?
Hua Ming shrugged and said in a low voice: "We don't know much about it. After all, this is not China. We just heard that Barty Crouch died in the wilderness."
"It's such a pity that the British Ministry of Magic has lost a qualified leader."
Hu Xiuwu also nodded and agreed: "It's really a pity."
