Chapter 1583: The conversation continues
Malfoy said as he stepped backwards, seemingly unable to believe the fact. The plan he had been brewing, the things he had done, he had thought Dumbledore didn't know, but now, Dumbledore had told him that he knew everything......
Horror, disbelief, anger, all kinds of strange emotions all come together.
They were brewing inside Malfoy, and he felt a strange humiliation.
Dumbledore knew everything, but he didn't do anything!
Malfoy clenched his wand, his whole body trembling, and he couldn't tell if it was fear or anger, or both.
He's going to kill this man, he's going to kill him!
"I've tried to stop it, Draco, but I can't expose you directly, send you to Azkaban, or just tell you not to do that, Voldemort won't forgive you for your mistakes, I have to protect you. Dumbledore said calmly, "Professor Snape has been watching you at my orders......"
"Protect me, Snape?!" Malfoy paused for a moment, as if he thought Dumbledore's words were funny, and he laughed out loud, his voice becoming more and more thoughtful, "This is what you call a measure?!" Snape didn't listen to you, he promised my mother......
"Of course he'll tell you, Draco, but ......"
"He's a double agent, you stupid old man, he's loyal to the Dark Lord, he didn't die for you at all, you're still in the dark!"
"Let's disagree with each other, I happen to trust Professor Snape a lot. ”
"Hmph, you're losing control of him!" Malfoy scoffed, as if he had regained his self-confidence, as if he had regained his self-esteem, as if he were crazy, "You know everything?! You can't do anything now, you probably don't know it yet, Snape has been offering to help me, because he wants to take the credit. He always wanted to meddle and do something, and ask me what I was doing, saying that you got that necklace, that you were stupid, that it would expose everything, but I saw through his thoughts, I didn't tell him what I was doing in the Room of Requirement, he didn't know anything, and when he woke up tomorrow morning, it was done, and he would never be the Dark Lord's darling again, he was nothing, nothing, nothing!"
The last sentence, Malfoy shouted directly and forcefully.
Saying the important thing three times, Malfoy wanted to vent his anger in his heart in this way and find some confidence in himself.
To kill Dumbledore, he needed this thing so badly.
There was another moment of silence, and the only sound on the observatory was the louder and louder fighting below.
Harry struggled to break free of him, but to no avail.
"How comforting. Dumbledore said mildly, "It goes without saying that we all want our hard work to be appreciated...... Well, since you don't believe I asked Professor Snape to protect you, let's talk about something else, like you must have an accomplice, a guy in Hogsmeade who can stuff Katie that, that......"
Dumbledore's expression of pain came to him again, and he shook and closed his eyes.
This made Malfoy more confident, Dumbledore was very weak, and Harry suddenly saw that the two pythons on the double snake staff opened their eyes slightly, and then closed them again, in an instant, if he hadn't been paying attention to the double snake staff, he wouldn't have noticed at all.
Damn, Dumbledore has no time, where the hell is Aven?!
Harry remembered that Dumbledore had said that he was going to see Snape before leaving, and he didn't see the need to continue the stalemate with Malfoy here, but Dumbledore didn't seem to plan to end the conversation between the two, he intended to go deeper, and he was in high spirits.
"Needless to say, needless to say, Draco...... It's Rosmerta, how long has she been under the Imperius Curse?" Dumbledore said slowly, his voice low.
"Haha, you've finally figured it out, haven't you?" said Malfoy scoffingly.
There was another shout from below, louder than the one just now.
Malfoy turned his head uneasily again, then looked back at Dumbledore.
"It's obvious. Dumbledore continued, "Poor Rosemertha had to hide in her own toilet and give the necklace to any Hogwarts student who went to the toilet alone, and the poisoned bottle of mead...... Of course, Rosmerta could mix the poison in that bottle and sell it to Slughorn, thinking it would be given to me as a Christmas present. Yes, very ingenious, poor Phil could not have thought of inspecting the wine sold by Mrs. Rosmerta......"
"That's right!" Malfoy smirked, "I heard the idea of poisoning the mead from Granger the Mudblood, and I heard her say in the library that Filch didn't recognize the potion......"
"Please don't use that insulting word in front of me. Dumbledore said.
"Haha!" Malfoy let out a nasty laugh, "Seeing that I'm about to take your life, you still care if I say a word about mudbloods?"
"Yes, I care!" Dumbledore said, his feet starting to slip and he had to use more force to grab the twin snake staffs.
"Ridiculous, pointless insistence, even if you already knew everything, what can you do? look at how weak you are now, still counting on Mason to save you!"
"Oh, I think he'll be there. ”
"That was after I killed you! All he saw was your corpse. Malfoy yelled.
"Perhaps, Draco, a lot has happened tonight, but it hasn't changed as much as you think. Dumbledore said, "It seems to me that you should finish your studies at Hogwarts rather than being a Death Eater." ”
"Shut up, I'm not uncommon to stay here, I'll be the darling of the Dark Lord!"
"It's disappointing, I was expecting you to have some bigger ambitions. Getting back to business, Draco, it's been a few minutes since you took my life, and there's no one else around, and I don't have a wand, I don't have magic, and you wouldn't have dreamed of such a good opportunity, but you still haven't done it, what are you waiting for......"
Malfoy's lips twisted involuntarily, as if he were tasting something very bitter, and his already confident expression began to unsettle again.
"Y-What's wrong with you?" he stammered.
"It's a long story, you can understand that I cast a spell and was hit with a terrible backlash, which made me lose my magic for a while and become weak, but I came back, barely back!" Dumbledore muttered softly, he was almost out of strength to speak, "That's what you want, isn't it? You must have known from Rosmerta that I left Hogwarts, and she saw me leave, so you decided to set a trap for me to come back." ”
