Chapter 220 Professor Tang, you want to get close to the magician, right?
"Professor Snape, I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing."
Tang Sen leaned on the bar of the Leaky Cauldron, holding a glass of butterbeer in his hand, and joked: "Is it because I bought too many potion ingredients that I was short of money?"
"Or are you actually interested in what the magician says?"
Snape always had a cold face and a bad tone: "I was just appointed to investigate the situation on behalf of Hogwarts College, and at the same time protect a fortune teller who obviously has no strength but insists on joining in the fun."
"Really?" Townsend smiled: "But I heard that Mr. Potter has rarely been punished by you recently. Even when he promoted Muggle items in class, you acquiesced."
"I have to wonder, are you really planning to follow the magician?"
"A professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is following a criminal who is trying to subvert the wizarding world? This is big news." Townsend winked: "Minister Fudge will definitely applaud your idea. Maybe you can log in
It will be on the front page of tomorrow's Daily Prophet."
"What about you?" Snape's lips moved slightly and he retorted mercilessly: "A soothsayer who can see the future insists on going to a magician's party. I am curious because in your opinion
In the future, has he succeeded?"
He stared at Tang Sen and said gloomily: "I will never forget that you used the Resurrection Stone as a reason to induce me to face the magician——"
"Now it seems that your purpose is to let me test him, right? You saw the magician from the future and decided to get close to him, but you were worried that your strength could not cope with the accidents that might happen when meeting the magician, so you did
Find me."
"After my testing, you divined where the magician would appear, and on that day, on the morning of the same day last month, you appeared at the Leaky Cauldron, personally participating in the magician's speech, and even defending the other party's remarks.
Provided supporting evidence."
"All your actions are foreshadowing that you want to stand in the magician's camp, so——"
Townsend showed a helpless look, spread his hands, interrupted Snape, and said: "Professor Snape, I always remind everyone repeatedly that the future is not static."
"So, are you going to decide your position based on speculation about a fortune teller? This is not a wise choice."
Snape did not answer, but frowned and said: "Hurry up and finish this damn butterbeer. Didn't you notice that everyone in the Leaky Cauldron is gone? We won't be able to catch up."
Indeed, the Leaky Cauldron is already empty at this time. If you walk out of the back door of the Leaky Cauldron and go into Diagon Alley, you will find that the flow of people on the street is no longer as lively as before.
Obviously, the Ministry of Magic's lottery was not enough to change people's minds, and wizards went to the gathering at Stonehenge in various ways.
"Don't worry, isn't Mr. Tom still there?" Tang Sen waved to Old Tom at the bar.
"I do want to come." Old Tom responded: "But the Leaky Cauldron cannot be closed. Even during the last war in the Muggle world, the Leaky Cauldron did not close for even half a day."

"Don't be so sorry, Mr. Tom, the people who come back will tell you what happened." Tang Sen comforted.
"After all, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes." Old Tom shrugged his shoulders and wiped the bar carefully: "But, are you really not setting off yet?"
"Don't worry about the fortune teller being late." Tang Sen smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of the Resurrection Stone——"
He looked at Professor Snape and said: "If I guessed correctly, you should have seen the Deathly Hallows, right? Professor Dumbledore is an action man."
"I'm curious, is that stone, as I guessed, incapable of bringing people back to life?"
Snape's expression became even worse. He stared at Tang Sen and said, "You already knew that, didn't you?"
"I don't have the time for divination." Tang Sen said nonchalantly: "I'm not interested in the Resurrection Stone itself. The only thing I'm interested in is how the Resurrection Stone got from Dumbledore's hands to the magician.
In the hand——"
"You know, in the future I see, the magician is the owner of the Resurrection Stone."
Snape unconsciously buried his fingers in his sleeves, stroking a black gem the size of a fingernail.
He remembered Dumbledore's previous explanation and Dumbledore's blackened palm.
Snape wanted to question Townsend, asking him whether he had also divined the danger of the Horcrux since he had divined the location of the Horcrux.
In other words, did he deliberately tell Dumbledore the news to put Dumbledore in danger?
But he didn't speak. Dumbledore didn't want to explore the matter too much, which might make the situation worse.
Seeing that Snape didn't answer anything, Tang Sen showed a bored look and said, "Then let's go."
"The Floo network doesn't work, how can we get there?"
"Apparition." Snape drew out his wand.
Tang Sen then raised his right hand.
Snape: "???"
Tang Sen: "."
Snape frowned.
"Don't tell me that you can't apparate?"
"No one stipulates that diviners must learn to apparate, right?" Tang Sen said confidently: "Why should I learn such a dangerous spell?"
The side of Snape's face twitched. He took a deep breath and held back two words: "Very good."
"So, I still think highly of you. I thought that you said you didn't have the strength to at least be able to cast spells like an ordinary adult wizard, but it turned out that you are not even as good as a young wizard."
"You are definitely the weakest professor in the history of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
Tang Sen drank the butterbeer in the cup in one gulp, showing no shame on his face, and even retorted triumphantly:
"But I am definitely the best diviner in the history of Hogwarts."
Snape reflexively wanted to retort, but when he opened his mouth, he found that what the other party said seemed to be true.
So he could only snort coldly, raise his hand and put it on Tang Sen's arm, with malice in his tone: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the longer the distance of Apparition, the worse the experience will be."

"You're lucky, my ability to apparate is one of the few in the UK."
Snap!
There was an explosion in the air, and the figures of the two people twisted at that moment, and then disappeared into the air.
Almost at the same time, two figures appeared on Salisbury Plain.
Snape immediately looked at Townsend with a happy smile. He expected to see the pale face of this annoying fortune teller, to see him lying on the ground because of the too exciting experience, and even to drink the cup he just had.
Spit the damn butterbeer out again.
But he was disappointed.
Tang Sen's expression was as usual, and he looked even more used to it than he was.
With his current physical fitness and body control ability, how could he lose his composure due to something like Apparition? To be honest, if the magic factor is excluded, a person with Snape's physique can easily be beaten by Tang Sen.
Pine.
"Your expression is very flat, Professor Snape." Townsend and Snape looked at each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised: "What are you expecting? I'm not one of those little wizards. Just because I can't apparate doesn't mean I'm
I have never been disapparated by anyone."
Snape's hand on Tang Sen's wrist couldn't help but tighten. He gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Sen. Then he pretended that nothing happened and began to look at the surrounding environment.
It's the morning of a new day. The golden sunshine fills the plain. You can see the magnificent Stonehenge in the distance. Outside of Stonehenge, there is a group of Aurors in robes. It is estimated that there are even dozens of them.
, they dispersed into a circle, holding magic wands in their hands, surrounding Stonehenge.
It also excludes the crowded wizards from all directions.
In the other direction, several goblins used magic to create a counter. There was a long queue in front of the counter, and the quills in the hands of the goblins were recording quickly.
The sounds amplified by the "loud voice" curse are constantly ringing. They are officials from the Ministry of Magic. They are repeating it again and again, trying to drive away the wizards and keep them away from here, but this has no effect. The naked eye
It can be seen that more and more people are apparating, and various forms of flying brooms are flying from the sky in all directions.
Of course, there are even flying cars, flying motorcycles and other technological products that have been transformed by magic.
Tang Sen made a rough estimate and found that there could be at least a thousand people present!
Apart from the Quiz World Cup, this can probably be regarded as a rare grand gathering in the magic world. Of course, it can also be regarded as the most mixed gathering. Tang Sen is sure that there must be something hidden around or even among the crowd.
Young dark wizards, including Voldemort’s Death Eaters!
However, no matter what kind of wizard they are, they have only one purpose in coming here.
The criminal who has begun to stir up the wizarding world, the idealist with lofty ambitions, the future Dark Lord.
