Grimmauld Place 12.

Severus·Snape walked into a room on the third floor. He glanced back to confirm that no one was there and then closed the door, not daring to make a sound like a thief.

The room has two beds, a cupboard, and a blank portrait. There is nothing special about it. It can even be said to be extremely simple.

Snape took a deep breath, took the blank portrait off the wall, put it away carefully, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Ten minutes later, the fireplace in Hogwarts's Professor Potions Class's office suddenly lit up with a green flame, and Snape walked out with a dark face.

"Welcome back, professor." Aaron poured him a cup of hot tea eagerly, "You should have got what I asked for, right?"

"Take it." Snape put the blank portrait on the desk angrily, "I really don't understand why you want this painting?"

"Don't try to trick me, Professor, I want it to serve its own purpose.

Now that you've got your things, you can talk about what's next. "

Snape's mouth twitched, "What else do you want me to do?"

"Go talk to Professor Dumbledore." Aaron said calmly, "If the time is right, I need you to go to his office after the evening curfew.

You can make up your own topic. If you don't know what to say, just tell him my attitude towards Phoenix Society and Dumbledore.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that you have to let Phineas come and take a look at this blank portrait. I have some private matters to talk to him about. "

"This is impossible." Snape shook his head, "After Phineas learned about the death of Sirius Black, his whole person was depressed, and no one could talk to him in a short period of time."

"If others can't do it, you can do it.

In addition, it is best to speak in a more self-conscious tone so as not to arouse Dumbledore's suspicion. "

Hearing this, Snape fell into a brief silence.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Aaron solemnly, "Don't tell me you want Dumbledore to arrange an undercover agent there?"

Aaron blinked and then gave Snape a thumbs up, "You can see this."

"I refuse." Snape said righteously, showing extreme resistance, "You can go to anyone for this kind of thing, but you must not go to me."

"I can only find you." Aaron spread his hands helplessly, "Apart from you, the only ones who can talk face-to-face with Headmaster's Office and Dumbledore at any time are Professor McGonagall and Hagrid.

Professor McGonagall I won't say it anymore, she is still St Mungo's Hospital lying down, even if she is not injured, with her loyalty to Dumbledore, I don't dare to let her play like this!

As for Hagrid... it's not that I don't believe him, but with his carefree and easy-to-deceive character, he can probably sell me out in just three sentences. "

"That's enough for you." Snape shouted angrily, "You can't just let me do all the disgusting things, right?

I have told you the truth about Department of Mysteries. Both you and Dumbledore think that I am the most suitable person to explain it to you. I admit it, so be embarrassed!

One morning I went to Phoenix Society headquarters to steal paintings. This was the first time in my life that I had done such a shameful thing. Out of guilt for you, I once again put my old face to shame.

If you ask me to cooperate with you in planting an undercover agent, this is too much, and I will never accept it. "

"Uh... calm down, calm down, professor, it's not too late for you to listen to my explanation before making a decision."

Hearing this, Snape sat down expressionlessly, picked up the teacup on the table and drank slowly, "I want to hear what you have to explain."

"Actually, I really understand your mood and your difficulties." Aaron said slowly, "First I became Death Eater and worked for Voldemort. Then I gave up and joined Phoenix Society..."

"Poof!"

Snape spit out a mouthful of tea and coughed several times before putting down the tea cup, "Give me..."

"Please listen patiently to what I have to say. If you don't agree, I will get out."

Before Snape could finish his curse words, he was interrupted by Aaron, who could only express his anger with a murderous look.

"In other words, you are now a double agent." Aaron said with appreciation, "You have done your best to serve Phoenix Society, and you have not fallen behind in providing intelligence to Voldemort.

Voldemort once said when he rushed [Department of Mysteries] that his servant would buy him enough time. This servant should be you, right? "

"That's what Dumbledore means." Snape said speechlessly, "He asked me to send a message to Dark Lord and I will try my best to hold Phoenix Society down."

Aaron:...

"It seems our principal is more shameless than I thought.

But getting back to the subject, both Dumbledore and Voldemort trust you very much.

In a sense, you have carried forward Slytherin ZZZhe's noble quality of self-preservation, and your spying has been wasted. "

"Haha! I just thought you were complimenting me."

"You are a double agent with ease. If you helped me one day, you would be a triple agent.

The reason why you refuse is because you feel that I am insulting your self-esteem. "Aaron patiently analyzed it. Looking at Snape's face, he immediately added: "But don't worry, I'm not asking you to be a spy. I can also guarantee that I will not harm any of Phoenix Society's interests.

If you don't believe it, we can make a covenant. "

"Alas!" Snape sighed, held his forehead and shook his head. "Sometimes I really don't know what to say to you."

"Isn't this all forced by you?" Aaron said depressedly, "Phoenix Society's moral bottom line has opened the door to your world for me. If I don't want to be tricked, I have to make more preparations."

"Thank you for telling me so much, but..." Snape paused, "I'm sorry, I still can't help you with this."

Aaron was not surprised, he just said the name lightly, "Harry Potter."

Snape's expression changed slightly, "What do you want to say?"

"I can try my best to protect him once. Professor, you should know that there are two different things between me voluntarily protecting him and being forced to protect him." Aaron said very relaxedly, "I only want you to help cover up once tonight, without passing on any information, and I will not harm any of Phoenix Society's interests. It is completely a Hammer deal."

"A Hammer deal?" Snape rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "You said it quite easily."

"Then let me change the question. Do you think Phineas will betray Dumbledore?"

"Ah this..."

Snape's expression suddenly became extremely exciting, and he was speechless for a moment.

Will Phineas betray Dumbledore? This is a complete joke and impossible.

The people who can be hired by Dumbledore into the principal's office are all wizards who have dedicated their lives to Hogwarts. They have all sworn allegiance to the current principal of Hogwarts. It can be said that they are much more reliable than the Order of the Phoenix.

"I believe you have the answer, Professor.

A large part of the reason why I'm looking for Phineas is a private matter. As for placing undercover agents, it's just because you're overthinking it.

I just want some insignificant information, such as Dumbledore's whereabouts and who he met. I believe Phineas knows the importance of it.

Of course, if you still don't want to, just pretend I haven't been here today. "Aaron said and stood up, turned around and walked towards the door, "I just feel sorry for Harry Potter. I don't know how capable he is of causing trouble..."

"Wait."

Aaron immediately turned around, slapped a piece of parchment on Professor Snape's desk, and quickly handed over a quill pen, "I have prepared the contract, just like the Hammer deal I just said.

Your signature in the lower corner will take effect immediately. Your mission will be completed when you finish the work tonight. None of the three of us can leak the secret in any way. "

Professor Snape had a few more black lines on his forehead. The hand holding the pen was as sharp as a sword, and he wrote his name on the parchment tremblingly.

"The contract is made.

Believe me, professor, you will feel very happy for your decision in the future. "

"Get lost."

Snape gritted his teeth and pointed at the door.

"Uh... the feelings have faded. I haven't finished the tea yet!"

"Get out of here."

Divine Thunder Hall.

Aaron placed the blank portrait in the morgue, facing the coffin of Sirius Black, which was covered by Illusion Magic.

As the night gets darker, an old man appears in the portrait.

"Welcome, Phineas Nigellus Headmaster Black." Aaron said politely.

"Where is this?" Phineas looked at Aaron in confusion, "Are you Gaius Family's child?

Oh, I understand, you want to see me, Snape is covering for you? "

"Yes, it took a lot of effort for me to convince him." Aaron nodded and asked curiously, "I would like to ask, how did Professor Snape convince you to paint this portrait in front of Dumbledore?"

"Hmph! He didn't say anything, he was just angry about the death of my great-great-grandson.

There wasn't a single curse word, and the words were so unpleasant that Dumbledore couldn't stop them. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I decided to avoid it. "

"Hiss!"

Aaron took a breath of surprise, not expecting Professor Snape to play like this.

"Why did you call me here?" Phineas asked, "Don't Gaius family always stay out of Magic World's affairs?"

"Senior, the world has changed, and people's hearts have changed!" Aaron cursed with a look of grief and anger, as if he had been greatly wronged. "You at Headmaster's Office should also understand what happened to me. Dumbledore is too dark."

"I don't deny that he did not do it kindly in this matter, and I also cannot deny that he is a qualified leader who has a very broad perspective.

Besides, I'm in a very unhappy mood, so it's best for you to speak up. "

"No." Aaron calmed down and put forward his conditions directly, "I hope you will be a notary and transfer 90% of all the assets of the Black family family to my name in three days."

"Are you crazy?" Phineas said in surprise, "Even if you are obsessed with money, you can't be so greedy!

Wait, you're short of money? Are you kidding me?

Compared to Gaius family, the accumulation of the Black family family is probably not even a small amount! "

"You also said that it was Gaius family, not me.

My assets have been frozen since the day before yesterday. It's a bit exaggerated for me to say I have no money now. I can definitely be said to be penniless.

And there are many places where I need to spend money, Potions, alchemy, magic research, and I also raise a dragon that can be eaten by thieves...

In short, I have to find a way to get money to cope with the hard days that I don't know when they will end. Order of the Phoenix, which pushed me into the deep pit, is undoubtedly the most difficult goal. "

"Then you can't choose the Black family family!"

"Your family is the richest, and the others are extremely poor.

You can't let me go to Weasley family to ask for money! I have been to their house, and when beggars come, they have to leave two steel pennies in tears. "

"What... this, this is unreasonable!" Phineas said speechlessly, "Even if the bloodline of the Black family family is cut off and there is no one to take care of the wealth, I can't just give it to you just because you want it!"

"We'll talk about wealth later." Aaron waved his hand nonchalantly, "There is one more thing you have to help me with. I need you to provide me with Dumbledore's situation from time to time."

"That's impossible."

"I don't want information. I just want to know where he went and who he met. That's all."

"That's not possible. For the sake of your last name Gaius, I will pretend that you have never been here today." Phineas sternly refused, and then turned around and left.

"Wait!" Aaron stopped him hastily.

Just kidding, if we let him run away without saying a word, it would easily arouse Dumbledore's vigilance.

If Divine Thunder Hall is exposed, will his life be difficult to survive?

"Even if you say breaking the sky, there is no need to discuss it."

"What if Sirius Black is not dead?"

"What?" Phineas paused and turned to look at Aaron, "My great-great-grandson is still alive? But Dumbledore and Harry Potter both said..."

Aaron snapped his fingers and removed Illusion Magic from the ice coffin.

"What they saw may not be the truth. The moment before he was hit by Killing Curse, I pulled out his Soul Stone.

In other words, his body was already dead, but Soul Stone was not affected at all.

In this case, there is enough maneuverability. If you spend more time to remove the magic power of Killing Curse, he may not be unable to be resurrected. "

While talking, Soul Stone of Sirius Black stood next to Aaron, but he did not like to see his great-great-grandfather at all, "I really didn't expect to meet you in this way."

"I, I didn't expect that either." Phineas said excitedly. Sirius Black is not dead yet, which means that the bloodline of the Black family family is not broken. Nothing makes him happier than this.

"Phineas, I think we can discuss my conditions now."

"I'm satisfied." Phineas said simply.

"Happy."

"Wait a minute, great-great-grandfather, are you too hasty?" Sirius Black said in astonishment, "I've never seen you care so much about me before!"

"Stupid, who cares about you? What I care about is the bloodline of the Black family clan." Phineas said breathlessly, "If you die, the Black family clan will be finished. No matter how much wealth you accumulate, it will only make Gringotts those greedy Goblins cheaper."
