Volume 6: Summer at Spider's End Alley Chapter 436 Clues
Lily still got the list of materials.
She just glanced at the list of materials and threw the paper to the ground.
This was definitely not something that Snape had to go to great lengths to buy using an alias. Even if he bought these materials directly in Diagon Alley, no one would be suspicious because they were commonly used in making potions.
Lily turned to look at the wizard who was still under the truth serum and suddenly changed her tone.
“Do you still have the inventory list of what was in your warehouse after last Christmas?”
The wizard immediately spoke.
"In the bottom cabinet of the bookcase."
Lily immediately turned around and found the place the wizard mentioned. She pulled out a thick stack of inventory lists from different periods and soon found the one after last Christmas!
Most potion ingredients require special storage methods and shelf life, so medicinal material merchants like this usually only help customers place orders after making sure that the buyer has received a large deposit, and they usually don't store them for a long time.
That is to say, when Snape comes to get the materials after Christmas every year, the warehouse should only have materials purchased by him or a few other people.
She didn't need to know exactly what materials Snape had purchased. It was also impossible for Snape himself not to be on guard and specifically mix some temporarily unused materials with the materials in large quantities for potions to conceal his tracks. This was common sense for any potion master.
Lily only needs to focus on those materials that have a very limited shelf life and are extremely precious and difficult to buy.
Sure enough, on this inventory list, Lily really saw something extremely different!
She looked at the name of the material and squinted her eyes. Several potions that needed it flashed through her mind in an instant. But before she had time to compare the other ingredients in these potions with the materials on the catalog, a series of sonic booms suddenly appeared in the living room outside!
"I got the news from Karkaroff that after the Aurors were instructed by their master to investigate Snape's alias Prince, they followed the clues and found this potion material supplier. This guy is a half-blood, but he has a close relationship with the Shafik family, so he has been controlling the business of those precious potion materials."
After the sonic boom, a series of conversations came from the living room.
Lily held her breath immediately. The only people who could Apparate directly to the wizard's house were those from the British Ministry of Magic who were so unscrupulous and could do that!
Sure enough, through the gap in the study door, she saw four wizards dressed in black robes and iron masks, dressed like Death Eaters, and an Auror from the British Ministry of Magic.
"Atkins, why are you still sitting there? Don't you see the adults? Stand up!"
Just as the Auror was lecturing the wizard who was sitting on the sofa with his head down, seemingly showing no reaction to the people who suddenly broke into his home.
One of the Death Eaters suddenly realized something was wrong!
"Wait, go check his condition..."
Before he could finish his words, a magic wand stretched out from the study and suddenly swung down!
A silently cast explosion spell rang out!
A dazzling flame suddenly exploded in this narrow space, not giving the Death Eaters and Aurors present any time to react!
But the pure-bloods who had experienced the First Wizarding War with Voldemort and fought for so many years were not like their next generation, a group of pampered losers who could not even use the Shield Charm.
In the process of carrying out any mission, they always maintained the Shield Charm on their bodies and were always on guard against sneak attacks, especially when two Death Eaters had already died in Snape's hometown!
But Lily had also been dealing with these Death Eaters for who knows how many years, and was familiar with their habits and psychology.
With a quick silent explosion spell, before the Death Eaters could find the attacker's location, Lily had already taken out two small balls from her pocket and threw them into the living room!
The smoke from the previous wave of explosions had not yet dissipated when two new rounds of explosions began!
The Shield Charm maintained by the Death Eaters could barely block a round of Explosive Curses. Even if the following two Weasley bullets were slightly weaker in power, they were enough to completely break their defenses.
"To pieces!"
Finally, Lily cast a shattering spell at the ceiling above the Death Eaters' heads. The next moment, the whole building began to tremble. She then grabbed the wizard who had been awakened by the truth serum and was shivering under the coffee table, and used Apparition to leave.
The entire ceiling shattered into large pieces of stone that fell down. Lily's series of attacks happened so quickly that her silent casting and throwing of the Weasley Ball were completed almost in an instant. And at the moment of the explosion, when the Death Eaters were just about to prepare to counterattack and strengthen their defenses, the ceiling shattered!
"Go! Go! This building is going to collapse!"
A Death Eater was shouting, but it sounded like few of his companions responded to him. Only one or two sonic booms were heard in the air. He could only curse in his heart, and then immediately used Apparition to leave.
But some people were still able to escape safely, but there were already two Death Eaters lying on the ground, their heads hit by stones and they had fainted. As the two-story building standing alone in the wild collapsed, they were completely submerged in it!
The loud noise startled a group of birds in the distant woods, and under the trees, a beautiful woman who looked like she was having a picnic and was kneeling on the grass with a teacup in her hand, was watching the scene from afar.
She took a sip of the black tea in the cup, and the smile on her face was so charming.
Miss Coulibaly, who had arrived here from Devonshire at some unknown time, muttered to herself softly.
"Try your best, Severus. And you, your stupid alter ego."
…
After Jon sent the Dursleys to France and handed them over to Professor McGonagall to settle them down, he immediately rushed back and waited at the meeting point he and Lily had agreed on.
The task Dumbledore assigned to him was to protect Lily's safety in England. It was actually a bit risky for the two of them to act separately on this trip.
But Jon is not an old lady, and Lily is not a child without any ability to protect herself. There is no need for him to follow her everywhere.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, he also secretly placed a feather from his Animagus transformation on Lily's body for positioning.
