Judging from Snape's observations, William was still playing a decent genius role in the first half of his first year.

Snape considered himself a genius, still one of a kind, except that he was more low-key and modest.

They are the kind of people who are more talented, more patient, and more aware of what they want than their peers.

On the whole, what William did was still in the professor's estimation, and it was not too out of line.

But after a certain day, the whole style of painting has grown by leaps and bounds in the direction of "My pain is above you".

William seems to have raised his level of various subjects to a certain high level overnight.

If it weren't for a few in-depth exchanges, Snape would have discovered that Stark was still the same-Tucker.

Nothing has changed in the way you speak, you do things...... Otherwise, he would almost have thought that William's soul had changed, possessed by some powerful wizard.

Snape can only be attributed to Willian's talent.

But as he observed the battle between William and Tywin, and William was at Gringotts fending off a dark wizard and forcing the dragon to come, Snape finally felt that something was wrong.

This increase in strength is too fast, William can't be secretly studying black magic, right?

He didn't want a Dark Lord to run into another Dark Lord before he knew whether he was alive or dead.

Dumbledore defeated the first Dark Lord when he was a teacher at school, and when he was old, he met the second Dark Lord.

If that's the case, he's taking Dumbledore's script.

Hey, Snape suddenly felt that this was a sign of something, was he going to fight back against McGonagall and become the next Headmaster?

While Snape was thinking, Dumbledore's wand waved, and all the keys flew again.

He didn't see the key to open the door, so he pulled a new silver key from his pocket.

"He's not going to be the third Dark Lord." Dumbledore's tone was calm, as if he were explaining what to eat for breakfast tomorrow.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Voldemort's trajectory, I know it perfectly." Dumbledore motioned for Snape to continue walking.

"The two are completely different, William has a whole family, has a lovely sister, and he has a whole bunch of friends.

Voldemort never had friends, relatives, only servants...... He doesn't understand love, and William does, so he won't be the third Dark Lord. ”

"Just because...... Love? Snape was seriously skeptical.

"Isn't that enough?" Dumbledore laughed, "Love is not something we invented, it can be seen, it is very powerful, love has its role......"

"Yes, of course love has its role, for socializing, for maintaining relationships, for raising offspring." Snape scoffed, "But does it have anything to do with whether a person will indulge in power and go astray?" ”

"Severus, your understanding is too shallow." Dumbledore shook his head, "We love the dead too, is this for what you call socializing?" “

Snape was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No...... Yes. ”

"The meaning of love is profound." Dumbledore said gently, "It's a greater power that we can express with magic.

Love leads us to protect, to protect those who have nothing to do with us, and love is the only thing we can perceive that transcends the latitude of time and space.

We should believe it, even if you don't quite understand it right now. ”

Snape pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the abnormal increase in his strength?" ”

"I know, but I can't tell you just yet."

Snape frowned, "You trust him...... But you don't trust me? ”

"It's not a matter of trust or distrust, you and I both know that that person is not dead, and will come back." Dumbledore patted Snape's broad shoulder.

"And when he returns, you'll be burdened, and I don't want all the secrets to be in one basket, especially one that will hang on Voldemort's arm for many years to come."

"I'm all listening to you!"

"You've done a great job, but don't underestimate the dangers you face in the future, Severus." Dumbledore said solemnly, "If he returns again, you will face a Dark Lord who is even more powerful than in the past. ”

Snape stopped talking.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and finally saw the graffiti on the wall.

Dumbledore looked at Hermione's advice with a warm smile in his eyes.

"Severus, the students still like you, you see William and Hermione both mentioned you, and the twin brothers also drew Slytherin as a mark."

Snape rolled his eyes, "Do they like that?!" ”

Dumbledore waved his wand, and all the fonts on the wall fluttered and flew into his pajama pockets, as if he wanted to save them somewhere.

Dumbledore turned his back to Snape and sighed, his voice low.

"Severus, I think you can change your attitude a little bit, don't you really care what the students say about you?"

There was another long silence, and then Snape stiffened, "After all these years...... Maybe I'm used to it. ”

Habit and care are two different things, at least in Dumbledore's eyes.

He sighed, "Severus, if only I could be as strong as you."

You know, I sometimes think our sorting house is too sloppy......"

Snape was a little dejected, if he had been sorted into Gryffindor, maybe everything would have been different.

"Would you like to help Harry more?" Dumbledore pleaded.

Snape became angry again, pacing up and down behind Dumbledore.

?“ How can I help him—as mediocre, arrogant, tardigent, indisciplined, showy, attention-grabbing, and rude as his father—help him more?

I'd rather help that little stark Stark, at least keep me alive for a few more years. ”

"You see what you expect to see, Severus."

Dumbledore examined the lost Devil's Net, but had no intention of re-adding it.

"Don't be too prejudiced, other teachers say that the boy is modest, easy-going, and talented.

I also personally found him to be a likable child. ”?

Dumbledore stood up, looked up through the trapdoor panel, and saw Lowe.

Lu Wei was also peeking at him through the trap panel.

A hint of reproach flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and Lowe whimpered twice, trying to explain that William was not something he had put down.

Snape snorted and said, "I'm going back to sleep, not listening to your nagging here."

He can't even compare to half of Granger's, she's at least a little smart, and her IQ is ......"

"Hermione will be glad to hear that."

Dumbledore didn't look back and said, "One last thing, pay attention to Quirrell, okay?" ”?

Snape's shoes crackled on the ground, and he strode away, not knowing if he had listened.

Dumbledore sighed.
