Dumbledore's face twisted in the flames, and Willow Spring wasn't sure if he was trying to give her a smile. He quickly said, "Help me find Severus, and then have him wait for me in the principal's office." I'm going to go on a trip...... It's a pity that I couldn't find the person I was looking for when I was in a hurry to go out, how terrible. ”

His tone was calm, as if he was recounting the facts, but there seemed to be some kind of foreboding in Liu Quan's heart. She reacted suddenly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her heart.

"Yes," she replied calmly, "but, with pardon for my presumption—where are you going, Professor?"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

"Oh! I'm going into the night, chasing that flirtatious and seductive woman—adventure......" he replied in a tone akin to reciting a sonnet.

Willow Springs: !!

Almost immediately, she frowned, vaguely aware of something—

This verse...... This poem!!

She suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

What the hell did Dumbledore want to do?!

It dawned on her that such temptations or false naivety of pretending to be deaf and dumb would not work.

Dumbledore wasn't going to tell her the truth about his whereabouts.

"Okay. Willow Springs, in a softer tone, changed his strategy and said, "I'll find Severus, and make sure he's in the headmaster's office when you return." But—what's the password for tonight?"

Dumbledore was stunned. It was as if he had been thinking about something beforehand, and he hadn't fully invested in the conversation with Willow Springs. "Password?...... Oh, sorry, I forgot, tonight's password is-"

"Why don't you let me guess?" Liu Quan interrupted him a little rudely without waiting for him to finish.

Her green eyes, which belonged to Lily, flashed with an incomprehensible light, staring at the old and wise face that emerged from the flames in the fireplace.

"I'm guessing tonight's password is probably 'Horcruxes'. She stared at the face in the flames and said slowly.

Hey!! Systemic bacteria roared in her head almost immediately.

[Don't over-explore what you shouldn't know!Don't over-lead the original characters to make some superfluous ideas before the doomed plot happens, and then cause the plot to collapse!!You're over-controlling!This is not something you should worry about!] The system bacteria shouted sternly.

Liu Quan reflexively squinted his eyes, and his head buzzed at the sound of the system.

She crossed the line again. Or rather—her hint was once again discovered by the phylogenetic bacteria and failed.

Maybe she should say "Little Hangleston" or "Gaunt" or "Riddle"?!, but those words sounded just as fatal to the resurrection stone ring with powerful black magic attached to it. She couldn't think of any words that would suggest that Dumbledore was careful and not be warned by the system. Liu Quan suddenly felt extremely irritable and powerless for a moment.

Of course, she knew it was all futile and harmful. However, sometimes, people just do something crazy and futile - knowing that the ending will not change much, but still stupidly want to see a different outcome -

Dumbledore's face was filled with a slight, subconscious spasm almost instantly. However, he disguised it too well, his expression was still so calm, and his face shook back and forth in the flames, indicating that he was in denial.

"Oh, my child, it's a pity that you guessed wrong. There was a smile in his voice, but Liu Quan always felt that the smile sounded a little deliberate.

"Tonight's password is 'Peppermint Toad'. ”

Liu Quan sighed.

She's said enough. In fact, she couldn't undo the plot or Dumbledore's sacrifice. If even the greatest white wizard in the world were to be saved, then she would know without asking the system bacteria - the plot would definitely collapse. Dumbledore wasn't as tenacious as Cyris Black and easy to deal with. If he survives, he will definitely completely disrupt the plot behind her, and overturn the situation she has been painstakingly and carefully managing to the current situation in one fell swoop.

Liu Quan didn't dare to take such a risk.

She's such a selfish person. She thought to herself laughing and disgusting.

In order for Severus Snape to survive, to be able to accomplish her ultimate mission, she could endure and ignore all other sacrifices and tragedies. including sitting back and watching Albus Dumbledore die—how vile, how shady, how solitary, how Slytherin, for a Gryffindor she's played for so many years—

For no reason, a few lines of poetry suddenly came to her mind.

"I pray here that all will stop crying, so that you may know how much I love you. On a hot summer afternoon, there is a long wait. That old path is like a father's face, a lonely wildflower, quietly disappearing. 】

She stared at the old face in the flames, and finally whispered, "Good luck, Professor Dumbledore. ”

Dumbledore's face smiled at her in the fireplace, and without saying anything more, he vanished.

Liu Quan immediately stood up, stepped into the fireplace with one foot, and said, "The principal's room." ”

The fireplaces at Hogwarts are interconnected, but only the fireplace in the Headmaster's room has access to the outside world. Liu Quan was very inconvenient with the design of this kind of local area network. But now she can't complain - she must act now, find Severus Snape, and before Dumbledore returns, they must have enough and good potions ready to cure the greatest white wizard alive.

But all these worries cannot be told to anyone.

Willow Springs' feet stepped out of the fireplace. It was quiet in the headmaster's room, Phoenix Fawkes was not there, and Dumbledore had left.

Alas, what a big plot bug. Liu Quan thought to himself.

If Dumbledore refuses to involve others in this dangerous journey, then Fawkes will always be his little pet, and it doesn't matter if you take it with you!Phoenix will always be nirvana, and after Dumbledore stabbed the Horcrux with the Gryffindor sword, it wouldn't be in the way to put it on Fawkes's ankle before putting on the ring himself?......

Loopholes! All of them are loopholes! The most hateful thing is that these loopholes can create a huge trap that traps all the people she doesn't want to see each other die, and takes their lives! And she can only watch it happen without doing anything about it!

Without pause, Liu Quan grabbed a handful of Floo powder from a box of Floo powder placed on the stove of the fireplace, raised it into the air, and shouted, "No. 19 Spider Tail Alley!"

Almost seconds later, she burst out of a dirty fireplace and stepped on the dusty floor.

She looked around, and there didn't seem to be anyone in the room.

Snape's movements have always been monotonous. He was either at Hogwarts or at his home at 19 Spider's Tail Alley. He rarely even went to Diagon Alley, and only occasionally went to the black shop in the depths of Tumbledown Alley to pick out some rare potion materials of unknown origin but excellent quality. However, he had only visited Tumbledown Alley the other day - because Willow Spring had noticed the extra bottle and jar in his office - so if he wasn't at Hogwarts or Spider's Tail Alley, there was only one possibility of his whereabouts - he was summoned by the Dark Lord.

Liu Quan sighed.

Voldemort often liked to torture his men with the Curse of Drilling, even his most capable men. Snape would always return to Spider's End Alley to rest and heal after suffering from the Creature Curse, and then return to Hogwarts until it seemed at least flawless on the surface.

Willow Springs' "clean up" on the sofa in the living room, then looked at the surrounding environment that was as deserted as an empty house that had been uninhabited for a long time, sighed and waved his wand, intending to use the house-elf to clean up the place for Snape a little.

When all the rooms at 19 Spider Tail Alley that could be entered at will—of course Liu Quan knew which rooms could not be touched—had been sorted out by her, there was a heavy sound of footsteps at the gate. Then there was a "squeak", and the old door was opened. The footsteps then stopped. There was silence in the living room.

Sitting on the couch, Liu Quan raised her wand and cast a "fluorescent flicker" spell, and a little light came out of the tip of her wand.

The black-robed wizard standing at the door almost immediately saw through the glimmer of light who the uninvited guest in the house was. His body stiffened slightly, his expression became more gloomy, as if he had been offended by someone's territory, and he walked into the house with great displeasure, and quickly turned his hand back and closed the door.

"You shouldn't come here. Still standing by the door, he said simply.

Liu Quan slowly got up from the couch, not bothering to talk to him in circles.

"Listen, Severus, it was Albus who told me to come to you. "I suspect he's going to do something great—because he wants you to wait for him to come to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts." He couldn't find you everywhere and had to tell me to do it—he doesn't do it very often, does he?"

Snape's face changed almost immediately. He strode into the living room and stopped in front of Willow Spring. "When did this happen?!"

Willow Quan waved his wand lightly, and a few numbers appeared in the air—11:10 p.m. was the current time.

She thought for a moment and replied, "About a few hours ago." I met him before dinner — in the fireplace of my office, to be exact. ”

Snape's face was extremely grim, he frowned and thought about it carefully, and then asked, "He didn't say where he was going or what he was going to do?"

Liu Quan shook his head and replied truthfully, "I asked, but he only replied to me that he was in a hurry to go out because 'I am going into the night to chase that frivolous and seductive witch - adventure'......"

It seems that Snape did not appreciate Dumbledore's poetry and humor at all. His face sank and he looked a little terrible. He closed his lips tightly, thought for a few minutes, and then asked hurriedly, "What do you guess about this?"

Liu Quan suddenly remembered her temptation and the warning of the system bacteria. She continued to shake her head calmly, and replied, "There's no way anyone else will have a chance to know what Albus doesn't want anyone to know—you know that, Severus, don't you?"

Snape snorted in exasperation, strode away, and rushed down the stairs, as if rummaging through the cellar of the house, where he always made potions. Ten minutes later, he finally returned, his expression as dark as the sky ahead of a storm.

"But you don't think he's going to do anything good?" he asked her without looking back, as he strode toward the living room fireplace.

"It's obvious. Liu Quan spread his hands and followed him in time. "He doesn't often have to find you before he goes out, to make sure you're staying in the headmaster's office and not leaving, that you'll be the first person he'll see when he returns, right? I'm not sure where he's going or what he's going to do, but I think he thinks he's going to need your help—there's not much to stump Dumbledore, is there?"

Snape let out a whispering incantation that he couldn't hear clearly, and immediately grabbed a handful of Floo powder from the hearth, shouting, "Headmaster Hogwarts!"

Liu Quan followed him into the fireplace.
