Chapter 497: It Must Be Him
"There's no way to guarantee that Harry will be able to get back safely from the mystery man?" Darren looked at Hermione, "So, what do you think of it?"
"Oh, I don't know, but, Darren, you made all the plans, and you know best how to deal with them," Hermione said quickly, "There must be a way, isn't it?" ”
"I can't help it," Darren replied directly, "that's impossible." ”
"What?"
"Come back to the mysterious man who kept Harry safe," Darren turned to Harry, "face that guy directly, I think you understand what that means." ”
"I understand," Harry nodded.
"Even in the best-case scenario, we will have to wait until Harry has completed his final mission before we can attack the mystery man, and in the meantime, I'm afraid Harry will have to face it alone, Hogwarts can't be apparitioned, and no one can appear next to him instantly."
"I don't think Potter will go alone," Suddenly, a voice appeared, it was Snape.
"What do you mean?" Darren looked at Snape.
"I'll accompany Harry to the mystery man," Snape said.
"Ha, that's impossible, how about you betray him to your master again? Like you once told that man about Harry's prophecy? Blake immediately objected, "Besides, he also killed Dumbledore, who can guarantee that he won't harm Harry?" ”
Listening to Blake's words, the rest of the people were also silent, apparently, he was right, in this regard, Snape's "record" was really bad.
"Blake," Snape's face was so gloomy that it could be dripping, "although what you have just described is true, but in this situation, I am afraid that there is only one way to make Potter not face the Dark Lord alone, are you going to follow him with your tail wagging your tail?" ”
"You ......" Blake took a step toward Snape, his face grim.
"What should I do?" Darren looked at Moody, and the other party frowned, obviously, this was also a difficult choice for him, because now Snape also knew their plan, if these words were told to Voldemort, then the Order of the Phoenix would have no chance of winning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think Severus's suggestion is worth accepting," and at this moment, Dumbledore's portrait expressed his opinion, "and he will definitely do his part to protect Harry." ”
"Professor," Snape said with a cold face, "no one here asks for your opinion. ”
"You're talking to the professor like that!" Harry glared at Snape, then turned to the portrait of Dumbledore, "But why do you say that?" In, after he, that treats you like that. ”
"Severus," Dumbledore's portrait looked at Snape first, "I'm afraid I'm going to say I'm sorry to you again after apologizing to Harry," the other man looked away, "I promised you not to say it to anyone, and I swore it, but...... Now it's about Harry......"
"Professor," Harry's gaze wandered between Dumbledore's portrait and Snape's face, which was now both agitated and painful, "what did you just say?" What didn't Snape say to anyone......"
"That's enough, Professor!" Snape finally growled, "Say no more. ”
"Professor!" Harry immediately shouted, "Please, it's important," he looked at Snape, "Things I don't know." ”
“…… There's only one question left for him," Snape gritted his teeth, "how about you that you're going to let me take you to the Dark Lord?" ”
"You, why did you kill the professor, he trusted you so much?" Harry didn't hesitate to make his choice.
The portrait of Dumbledore looked at Snape, "Severus, I think this is a question, I can tell him." ”
Snape had no objection.
"That's because of the ring," said Dumbledore's portrait, "do you remember when I told you about finding the ring?" ”
"Yes, and said that because of it, the right hand will be injured."
"In fact," Dumbledore's portrait moved his right hand slightly, "the spell on that ring is much more powerful than you think, and if it weren't for Severus's help, I'm afraid I would have been dead, and he temporarily imprisoned the spell in one of my hands." ”
"However, that doesn't completely eliminate the spell, it only buys me some time, about a year, and over time, the power of the spell will continue to grow and spread."
"So, from then on, I was doomed," Dumbledore's portrait looked at Harry, "but I'm lucky, very lucky, to have Severus by my side, and he can complete the task I gave him and kill me." ”
"Kill you!" Harry cried out, "Why? Because of the ...... of the spell," he said.
"No, certainly not what you think," Dumbledore's portrait said with a smile, "with Severus' help, it would only cause a little trouble, and I'm really lucky to have him by my side," he said to Snape, "thank you." ”
Snape nodded silently.
"Well, let's pick up where we left off, again with Severus' help, when I knew that Voldemort had a plan that he intended for that poor boy from the Malfoy family to kill me."
"Of course, he didn't actually expect Draco to succeed, just to punish Lucius for his failure, so that Draco's parents could see their son lose and then pay the price, which was a cruel and evil method."
"As far as I know, it was Lucius's own choice to become a Death Eater," Darren interjected, "after he graduated from Hogwarts. ”
Dumbledore didn't seem to hear Darren, "After knowing Voldemort's plan, I knew that the boy had been definitively sentenced to death just like me, and if Draco missed, it would be Snape who would take over the job, and Voldemort believed that the school would soon be controlled by him, which would be too bad." ”
"In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, I have to make sure that the Headmaster of Hogwarts is an acceptable candidate who can protect the students under Voldemort's power, and that person can only be Severus."
Everyone in the room looked at Snape, and now, their gaze was no longer as contemptuous and hostile as it had just been, but more complex, even reverent.
"So ......," Moody said.
"Yes," Dumbledore's portrait looked at Snape, "it is him, Severus, who must kill me so that he can become the headmaster of Hogwarts and protect the students to the greatest extent." ”
