Chapter 564: Shock In Dumbledore’S Control Room
"..."
Blake packed the pile of things on the table into a suitcase.
Then he took out a map of Hogwarts Castle and drew circles on it with a pen...
After a long while, when it was completely finished, he took a look at his watch.
At this time, it was past twelve o'clock in the evening.
However, Blake did not choose to rest, but left his office overnight.
Blake strode down the corridors of Hogwarts Castle and headed straight to the Hogwarts kitchen!
A few minutes later……………
"It's the great Mr. Blake Green!"
"It's really Mr. Green!"
"Sir, do you need a midnight snack?"
The house elves in the kitchen immediately became excited after discovering Blake.
There are elves here talking to Blake, and those elves over there have begun to carry tables, chairs and benches skillfully.
The food that had been kept fresh and warm by magic had already been placed on the table before Blake could react...
Blake did not refuse the kindness of these elves, but sat down generously and started eating happily.
Anyway, it's a little long since it's time for dinner, and Blake always has a big appetite.
"Ah! Who grilled this lamb chop? It's so delicious!"
"Oh! These puffs! So crispy and crispy! The cream inside is delicate and sweet! So delicious!"
Soon, these little elves were excited by Blake's sweet mouth.
Wait until Blake stood up with a burp.
These elves have fallen into a state of risking everything for Blake...
There is no way, house elves are such magical creatures and are easy to coax.
If Cassandra and the others were so easy to coax.........Ahem, I'm going too far.
"Mr. Green, do you need anything else from us? Maybe you need some fruit?" an elf asked excitedly.
"No, thank you. I'm very full now. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality."
"Oh! The great Mr. Green is saying thank you to us! He is so kind!" The elves almost fainted with excitement.
"Actually, I do have a little favor and need your help... I wonder if you are willing?" Blake said with a smile.
"Of course I am willing! Please give me your orders, Mr. Green!"
Blake took out the bag from before, as well as the map marked by himself...
Early the next morning, Blake woke up.
I can't help it, I slept too much in two days.
However, because of this, Blake seems to be in high spirits today.
By the time Cassandra and Hermione arrived at the office, Blake had already prepared breakfast for them.
"Hermione, thank you for the pear dinner." Blake smiled.
"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that you'll starve to death." Hermione said nonchalantly, but the smile on her face was so obvious that even Dabao could see it.
Cassandra felt a little glum when Blake thanked Hermione.
However, it was hard for her to say anything. After all, she did not help Bu Cai with anything yesterday.
However, Blake's voice sounded again, "Also, Cassandra, I have to thank you very much."
"Ah? Me?" Cassandra pointed to herself in surprise.
She remembered that she didn't do anything yesterday that was worthy of Blake's gratitude.
"Did you forget this?" Blake took out the improved potion formula. "You helped me improve the formula of this transformation potion. Thanks to your help, I was able to perfect it in a short time."
Kassandra suddenly realized that it was that one, but... Kassandra understood very well, saying that because she had improved, Blake could improve, etc., it was all said in a nice way.
With Blake's level of potions, how could he need his help... Maybe what he wrote on the recipe yesterday actually slowed down Blake's research process.
However, Kassandra felt sweet in her heart when she thought that Blake was so considerate of herself and even took this matter out to thank her.
"You...you will make me happy..." Cassandra blinked her big emerald eyes and looked at the formula handed over by Blake with pleasure.
"Okay, you guys have breakfast first. Later, I will explain to you the problems you left yesterday."
Blake took out the questions Cassandra and the others left yesterday.
The whole morning passed, and Blake patiently taught his two "closed disciples."
It wasn't until noon that Blake left the office and found Dumbledore in the principal's office.
Dumbledore was having lunch in his office.
However, on his desk, there is an empty oil painting......
Obviously, Dumbledore was still paying attention to Snape's movements.
"Come on...have you had lunch?" Dumbledore asked.
"DE..."
"Let's go together then. In order not to waste time, I have to ask the elf to help you get a share."
"No, I brought lunch." Blake took out a lunch box from his pocket......
"Okay, let's talk while eating..."
Then, the two began to talk about last night's discussion.
"Mr. Lyell told me today that Severus removed the black cloth covering his portrait last night," Dumbledore said.
"Well, this means that Severus has found a way to proactively expose his whereabouts to you without arousing suspicion." Blake nodded.
"But... does this mean that they are not afraid of what we see?" Dumbledore frowned.
"Obviously, their plan will not be carried out in the office... In fact, we still need to know what happened to Severus and how he was controlled." Blake said solemnly.
"What are you going to do?" Dumbledore asked.
"Just letting the house elves keep an eye on Severus is not the answer... I think something must have happened to Severus at his home in Spider End Alley."
"You want to visit his home?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, thinking about the feasibility of this matter. "Indeed...if Tom does find Snape in his home. Then.
There's a good chance they're still there!"
"We can't look directly like this." Blake said: "We have to observe secretly... If our whereabouts are exposed, Tom will definitely guess that Severus has conveyed the news to us.
After all, there's no reason for us to be at Severus' house!"
"Yeah... we still don't know what kind of fatal hazard they left in Severus..." Dumbledore sighed.
"After we finish eating, I'll show you something first, and then we'll go to Spider End Alley." After Blake finished speaking, he took a big bite of the noodles in his lunch box.
"what?"
"Something that can completely target Severus!" Blake said, "Otherwise, whether it's an oil painting or a house elf, there are too many blind spots that can't keep an eye on him."
*......
"Okay." Dumbledore also started cooking faster.
A few minutes later, Blake led Dumbledore out of the headmaster's office, and then stopped in front of the door of the Room of Requirement.
"Give me a quiet room..." Blake muttered silently, walking back and forth three times.
After a while, a doorknob appeared on the blank wall.
Dumbledore smiled and said: "The Room of Requirement... the most interesting room in Hogwarts..."
Blake smiled bitterly and shook his head. Dumbledore indeed knew this room. In other words, Dumbledore knew all about the plants and animals he had planted in the room before.
Dumbledore and Blake walked into the Room of Requirement together.
Now, the room has become a quiet room.
There was a comfortable sofa in the room, and a table in front of the sofa. There were also several empty coffee pots and coffee cups on the table.
It seems that the Room of Requirement thought Blake needed it, just a room to rest in the afternoon.
"I need a bigger room." Blake whispered.
0
The Room of Requirement immediately changed, from the size of an ordinary room to a large room that could accommodate hundreds of people.
Blake nodded with satisfaction and quickly cleared the wall opposite the sofa.
He took out a package from his pocket, then pulled out his wand and tapped it lightly.
The next second, hundreds of mirrors automatically flew out of the package and were automatically hung on the wall in order!
Dumbledore's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the mirrors in shock.
Those mirrors did not reflect the scene in the room, but showed scenes from various places in the castle!
"Sorry, Professor, it's urgent... So, I asked the school's house elves to help and installed this kind of surveillance mirror in every corner of the school. Although it may infringe on some people's privacy. , but... I can’t care about so much now...
Dumbledore discovered that the first mirror showed the scene in Snape's office! The second mirror showed the corridor at the door of Snape's office, and the third mirror showed the stairs...
It can be said that once Snape comes out of his office, no matter where he goes in the castle, there will be a mirror where he can see his figure!
Dumbledore looked carefully at the mirror on the wall. At this time, Snape was brewing a potion in his office.
It's just that his movements are much slower than before...
"Oh...this is really a big project..." Dumbledore said with emotion. “But, I have to say, this is very helpful to us.
Blake was right before, whether it was an oil painting or a house elf stalking Snape alone, there might be blind spots that could not be monitored.
Therefore, such a monitoring room is very important!
"I will let Baker continue to monitor Severus. After all, these surveillance mirrors cannot hear the sound. He may be able to hear some useful information. As for these surveillance mirrors, I suggest you find some house elves in the school who specialize in this Room remotely monitored Severus."
"Did you...did you do this all in one night?" Dumbledore couldn't help but ask.
"That's not true. I built these mirrors overnight, then asked the house elves to help decorate them, and then I went back to sleep..." Blake said a little embarrassed. "I have to think of a way to thank them properly next time..."
