HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Snape looked at his daughter, trying to read something from her eyes. But it was obvious that Lycoris had not forgotten his teachings and had been using the brain block technique.

What an excellent student of mine, Snape was very pleased.

"I've arranged for people to search in different places," Licorice pointed in different directions and explained to her father, "We've been there and there, but didn't find it. We've also been here, but no one's found it either. We haven't checked the places above yet, so let's start from there, Dad."

Snape looked in the direction his daughter pointed, and it was the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

"If Mr. Meng is framed in there, we'll never see him again if he's alive, and our body will never be found if he's dead." Licorice deliberately moved closer to her father and hinted to him in a low voice.

Licorice believed that he must have understood that she was talking about the secret room.

Snape did understand what his daughter meant. She was worried about Montague being in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

But ordinary people can’t enter the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. Is it possible that Mrs. Montague is in there?

Or does Licorice hint at something by doing this?

My daughter’s “foreknowledge of the future” is so detailed?

Snape had never heard of such a thing.

"Framed"?

He chewed on the word his daughter said, always feeling that she knew everything.

Licorice really knew everything, but for a moment she didn't remember that Monta was stuffed into the disappearing cabinet by the twins.

Because the current plot is very different from the original plot, the most important thing is that Dolores Umbridge became the headmaster earlier.

As for why Umbridge became headmaster so early?

Of course it was because Percy had mentioned Dumbledore's Army to Minister of Magic Fudge in a veiled way. How did he know about this...

It's not important, is it?

Lycoris felt that the most important thing now was to give her father and herself a perfect alibi, so she let Dolores Umbridge go to rescue people.

Lycoris believed that Headmaster Umbridge would be able to use this matter to express her true meaning.

As for what Headmistress Umbridge really meant...

I am just an ordinary fifth-year Slytherin student. What can I know?

"Professor Snape, what's the situation now?" Dolores Umbridge arrived with Draco Malfoy and saw that everyone was still searching.

Snape's voice was even, "We intend to continue searching."

"Tell me the details." Umbridge knew what kind of person Professor Snape was, so she didn't let him tell her the details. She pointed at the girl next to her with her wand.

"Headmaster, let me report the details to you now." Lycoris took a step towards Umbridge and pointed with her wand. "We have searched this side and this side, but found nothing. We have also searched that side and that side, but found nothing. We are planning to search that side. We are still short of some people up there, and we still don't have enough manpower."

When Licorice talked about the lack of manpower, she looked a little embarrassed and awkward. She explained, "This is the maximum number of people I can call."

"I'll take care of it," Umbridge thought of her Hogwarts Special Search Team, and asked Draco Malfoy to go to the Slytherin common room to find someone.

Draco agreed and ran away.

Draco thought about how Lycoris didn't allow him to join the Hogwarts Special Search Team, and guessed that she definitely didn't want him to go with them.

So after notifying Crabbe, Goyle and the others, Draco returned to the Slytherin boys' dormitory and began to look for her.

Umbridge met Montague with Crabbe and Goyle from the Hogwarts Special Search Team, but Lycoris and her father were not there at all.

Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Snape led the way, and Lycoris followed behind.

"Riko, do you really think Mrs. Montaigne will be here?" Snape suddenly stopped and turned to ask his daughter.

"What if?" Licorice answered ambiguously, "I haven't disappeared suddenly before."

If Draco were here, he would definitely roll his eyes and say to her, "You talk like I've disappeared."

But now the person in front of Licorice was her father, so she got a complicated look.

Snape was extremely sure that Montague would definitely not be here.

Why do you think so?

Although her assignment of Dolores Umbridge to the position was not obvious and seemed like Umbridge's own choice, it did not escape Snape's keen observation.

When Licorice was talking about it, she said that such a large area had been checked and no one was found. And a part of it was being explored, implying that only the small area above had not been explored.

Given Dolores Umbridge's eagerness to find something to hold against Gryffindor, she would definitely want to find out as quickly as possible, so she would naturally choose to start from top to bottom.

"Let's go." Since we are going to put on a show, let's do it in a comprehensive way.

Snape chose to keep walking until he reached the extra-long skeleton.

Lycoris followed behind her father and laughed quietly.

You see, you knew my conspiracy, but you still cooperated with me.

Snape knew very well that the disappearance of Monty was caused by Gryffindor - this was also speculated.

If it wasn't Gryffindor's doing, Lycoris wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to make it known to everyone.

Because it was Gryffindor who did it, Snape did not expose Lycoris's little trick.

He knew exactly what his role was—a double agent, a protector lurking in the dark.

Severus Snape didn't mind at all that Gryffindor students hated him, and even hoped that those children hated him.

This way, when danger occurs in the future, you can distance yourself from it.

Snape had already begun to wonder who was behind Mrs. Monty's attack, and he thought it wasn't Harry.

Snape knew him too well.

If there was an opportunity to play a prank on Montague, Harry would have preferred to use it on Draco Malfoy.

Snape speculated that it was a prank by the twins.

He didn't know that he had come up with an answer that was very close to the truth.

Snape believed that the Weasley twins had a conflict with Montague, and then used some prank props to trap him in the place where Umbridge was about to search.

perhaps……

Maybe they'll even use some concealment magic like the invisibility spell.

Licorice didn't think the twins' actions were a prank, she thought it was a malicious incident.

When the Vanishing Cabinet was intact, no one knew where it led to.

And now, it's bad.
