After hearing Snape's speech, Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head bitterly and refused, "In its current form, it is unrealistic to want to spend three years to heal, and I am ready to die." ”

Snape looked as if he was suppressing his anger when he heard this, and he continued to try to persuade him: "Damn, you can't leave things to someone else?

"But Harris they won't be able to dispose of Tom anytime soon, even if I reckon Alan has already acquired this ability in this fantastic adventure - the dragon slayer warriors will eventually turn into evil dragons, and they are tough on our strong pure-blood families in England, and according to my observation, they are now mainly focused on protection rather than offense, so they should be planning to keep Tom alive for a long time, and let him be used as an external threat to make the wizarding world compromise on their expansion and strength. After saying that, Dumbledore shook his head, as if he had made up his mind, "But you have also experienced the first wizarding war, even if they can protect the British wizarding world, but they have forced Tom to be anxious, I know him, he will attack wizards and Muggles in other countries, so I can't let this new wizarding war turn into a tug-of-war, we have to end it as soon as possible and return things to normal, as long as Tom is solved, Harris will compromise with those pure-blood families again, which will be a good thing for everyone." ”

Snape slammed to his feet and sneered, "That's right, the Dark Lord got old Parkinson back tonight, and he used it to blackmail Pansy??" Parkinson chooses between assassinating you and Allen, and the girl, who chose to assassinate you in her heart, was discovered by his dementor, and you guessed correctly, the mysterious man has already confessed to the other countries, and he plans to use the sacrifice to summon the great devil in the Triwizard Tournament to deal with Harris. ”

"Poor girl, on a mission that is doomed. Dumbledore said regretfully, "Me and Ellen?? With Harris at Hogwarts, it was very unlikely that he would come in person, he just wanted the poor girl to die. ”

"The Dark Lord didn't expect Parkinson to succeed, it was just to punish the old Parkinson for defecting, leaving them in fear and anxiety, and allowing the father to watch his daughter pay for the loss. Snape's voice became more condensed, "He intends to recruit disgruntled Dark wizards from all over the world to join his faction, and when he gathers enough strength to fight Harris, he has regained some of his sanity after being teased by Harris in his last solo fight." ”

"So, Severus, we can't let Tom drag on the war for too long, if one day when I decide to die, I'll give you as much a chance as possible, don't give anyone else a chance, and don't let that little girl do it, she has a chance to live at Hogwarts, I don't want murder to stain her soul, so it's up to you to kill me Severus, this is the only way, only then will Voldemort trust you completely. ”

"And what about my soul? it has nothing to do with her, it has nothing to do with the trust that the mysterious man has in me, what am I going to do after you die?" Snape stood stiff in the room, sarcastic at Dumbledore's words.

"Only you know if helping an old man from pain and shame will hurt your soul. Dumbledore didn't try to refute it too much, but continued to explain to him: "When the time comes, you must tell Harry Potter something." ”

Snape's brow furrowed at Harry's name.

"But be sure to wait until Tom is at his weakest. Dumbledore's blue eyes stared sharply at Snape. "If, at some point, Tom no longer sends the serpent that attacked Arthur to carry out the order, but keeps it by his side and protects it with magic, then I think he can tell Harry. ”

"Protect Nagini?" Snape was stunned at first, then muttered, "Tell him what? That stupid boy was a copy of his father, and he couldn't even learn Occlumency, his magic skills were mediocre, and he could connect directly to the Dark Lord's mind. ”

"That's why I'm telling you to tell Harry at the last minute, if Tom tries more, he will understand that his own soul is so mutilated, that it can't stand a soul like Harry's, like a tongue stuck to frozen steel, flesh touching flames...... He would never try to control Harry again after truly experiencing the pain, at least not in this way. ”

"You refused to tell me anything for a long time, and now you are counting on me to do you these 'little favors,'" Snape growled, his thin face flashing with real anger, "Do you take everything for granted?!, should all of us do exactly what you want to do in order to be on the right path? Maybe I'll change my mind!"

Snape's sudden outburst looked annoyed and unconvinced, and Dumbledore sighed.

"You swore it, Severus, don't refute the rest of the words, don't interject! The night Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry, Lily?? Potter used her body to block between them and use the protective spell I had taught her, and the spell bounced...... At that time, a fragment of Voldemort's soul was attached to the only living thing in the room. Dumbledore stood up and walked around the large headmaster's desk to Snape, "Harry knows Parseltongue, and there is a reason why Voldemort's mind can connect with Voldemort, and part of Voldemort lives within him. ”

Hearing this, Snape's mouth opened, but he didn't say a word, as if he had suddenly lost his ability to organize language, and all the happy moments he spent with Lily came to mind...... And that night of thunderstorms, that night of infinite despair, Lily lay on the messy ground, silent. He held Lily's corpse in his arms, in pain in the chaotic room.

Leaving Godric's Hollow, he went to Dumbledore and asked, "You said you would keep her safe. ”

"Lily and Jaime have the wrong person, Severus. Dumbledore had his back to Snape, his hands propped up on the lattice, and his head hung down to look out of the window.

"Aren't you too?" said a torn Snape, in pain.

"Her son is still alive. Dumbledore turned.

"He doesn't need protection, the Dark Lord is dead. Snape said, spreading his hands.

"The Dark Lord will come back, and then the child will be in danger. His eyes were as ...... as his mother," Dumbledore said as Snape closed his eyes in pain.

Hearing this, Snape immediately raised his head and looked at Dumbledore, as if a desperate man had caught the last beam, "If you really love her......" Dumbledore's words were interrupted by Snape before he could finish his words.

"Don't tell anyone. ”

"Are you going to make me never reveal your good side? Do you promise that you can risk your life every day to protect this child?"

......

After a long time, there was silence in the headmaster's room, Snape's lips trembled slightly, and finally he spat out, no matter what turmoil he felt in his heart, but his voice was unusually calm: "That is, the boy must die in the future?"

Dumbledore unconsciously looked away from Snape, and nodded: "Yes, he must die." And it had to be Voldemort himself, Severus. That's the most critical thing. ”

There was a long silence again.

Then Snape said, "I thought it was ...... Over the years...... I thought we were protecting him, for her, for Lily. ”

"We protect him because we have to train him, nurture him, let him hone his abilities," Dumbledore said, still keeping his eyes closed, "and at the same time, the connection between them has become stronger and stronger, like a parasitic being. Sometimes I feel as if he's aware of it. If I had known him, I think he would have arranged everything so that when he died, it would be the true end of Voldemort. ”

"You let him live so that he could die again at the right time. Snape's tone was calm and heavy, but his expression was unusually horrified, "You took advantage of me, I made up lies for you, and I risked my life for you." All this is supposedly to guarantee Lily?? The safety of Porter's son. Now you tell me that you keep him like a pig to the slaughter. ”

"How touching, Severus. Dumbledore tilted his head to look at Snape and asked solemnly, "Don't tell me you have feelings for him." ”

"Feelings for him?!" Snape stretched out his wand and swung a large circle above his head, "Calling the Divine Guard." ”

Silver gas erupted from his wand, quickly converging and condensing, and the silver deer popped out of the tip of his wand. It flew out of the window to the other end of the office, and Dumbledore watched it disappear into the distance, then turned to look at Snape and said in surprise, "Lily!"

Snape's eyes sparkled as he stared in the direction the deer had left.

"You're still ...... after all this time," Dumbledore was surprised.

"Always (always). Snape said deeply.
