Dumbledore stood at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest as expected, with his back to Zhang Jin, his hands folded, and his eyes looking into the distance, looking like a master of the world, obviously waiting for Zhang Jin.

This old man really had a watchful eye on the room that responded to the request, otherwise he would not have come earlier than himself, and he did not delay at all along the way.

Unless Dumbledore used a phantom shift or a phoenix teleportation, but it shouldn't be necessary, otherwise it's too undisciplined.

"Severus, you really should be walking around more, would you mind walking with me?"

Dumbledore gently patted Zhang Jin on the shoulder, and then walked towards the Forbidden Forest on his own.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

Zhang Jin could only follow closely: "Not yet, I'm afraid I still need to cultivate for a while, Professor Dumbledore." ”

"If there are any difficulties, please be sure to tell me in time, and I will help you solve it."

Dumbledore continued, his footsteps did not stop, and he did not look back in the middle, as if he was talking to you with a confidant old man, and did not mention why he was waiting here.

Zhang Jin didn't really want to talk to Dumbledore, at least not yet.

Talking, chatting and fart, that's something that only happens between friends, are Dumbledore and Zhang Jin friends? It has to be.

"The Ministry of Magic should be about to hold a trial, I hope to go with you to have a look, and by the way, order a batch of potions materials."

Zhang Jin just has something to say, and he is obviously inferior to Dumbledore in terms of temptation or concealment, and it is not as easy to believe as straightforward.

Only with a certain foundation of trust and equal status can there be some possibilities for the two to talk.

Dumbledore paused, turned his head in surprise and said, "I thought you'd stay at school, Severus, the Ministry of Magic isn't a good place to go, trust me, at least not for you." ”

In Dumbledore's opinion, as a Death Eater, Zhang Jin should avoid the Ministry of Magic as much as possible now, just like staying at school now, to avoid being caught directly as much as possible, let alone being sent to the door on his own initiative.

"I just want to go and see, I've never been to the Ministry of Magic, and besides, I promise to testify on Lucius's behalf."

Testifying for Lucius is just an excuse, Zhang Jin really wants to see those Voldemort's diehards, not the tortured appearance in the movie after more than ten years, but the current appearance of being in his prime.

Not from Severus's memories, but to see with his own eyes, to see what the elite of these pure-blood families were like, to see why they were so desperate for Voldemort.

He wanted to know more about that, to understand what the pure-blood families were thinking.

"Severus, you need to know your identity, there's no way to protect that kid in Azkaban!"

Dumbledore's expression became serious, and he stared at Zhang Jin very seriously.

"While I'm glad you are for your friend-mindedness, going to the Ministry of Magic will only get you into trouble, and that's not a good idea."

Dumbledore didn't know Zhang Jin's thoughts, but he didn't have to pay attention to it, the reason why he was willing to save him was only because Zhang Jin was a useful helper and an indispensable pawn, and he had the impression that Severus was just a Death Eater addicted to dark magic, although he betrayed Voldemort because of Lily, but this was not enough to gain Dumbledore's complete trust.

Not to mention the addition of Lucius. Malfoy, who was an old pure-blood Death Eater, made Dumbledore wonder if he would be able to stay on the side of the Order of the Phoenix.

"That kid doesn't need my protection, does he? He can still live well without me. ”

Zhang Jin didn't want to be completely obedient to Dumbledore like Severus in the original book, he wanted to go to the wizarding world to find some traces of myths and legends, which needed to be precautionary with Dumbledore in advance, otherwise Dumbledore's suspicions would only be bigger and deeper.

It would be bad if he was Voldemort's second when the time came.

It's better not to be an enemy for someone like Dumbledore, this old man is too good at calculating people.

And Dumbledore still didn't let go: "You know what I'm talking about, Severus, I told you that Voldemort would come back, and you promised me Severus. Snape! ”

Dumbledore's tone was already a little unpleasant, he wanted an obedient pawn, or he would rather destroy it!

"I think this should prove my innocence."

Zhang Jin directly stretched out his hand to reveal his smooth forearm, there was nothing on it, and the original black magic mark had been hidden yesterday.

"I don't think I'll be able to get into Azkaban, Professor."

"How did you do that?"

Dumbledore looked extremely surprised, he grabbed Zhang Jin's arm, and directly used his wand to release the detection magic, "It's well hidden, very clever." ”

"Can you feel it?"

Zhang Jin was really surprised this time, he already thought of Dumbledore very strongly, he thought that Dumbledore should not feel it.

"I can only feel that something is wrong, but this is not a good way to do it, and it may hurt your soul."

Dumbledore didn't stop him, but reminded him.

"It can't be worse anyway, can it?"

Zhang Jin didn't pay attention to Dumbledore's reminder, but asked: "You should be stronger than Voldemort, why don't you defeat him?" Why didn't you kill him? ”

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked forward, "I'm old, Severus, I can't guarantee to defeat him, and besides, I can't kill him. ”

Dumbledore's tone was melancholy, "I haven't killed anyone in a hundred years, in one way or another. ”

In this way, the last and probably the only person Dumbledore killed was his sister Ariana. Dumbledore, in the midst of that scuffle with Grindelwald and his brother Aberforth.

Obviously, Dumbledore, who had the meditation basin, must have looked back at his memories, so he knew exactly who had cast the spell.

And this incident also tormented him for a lifetime, and it is very likely that he will become Dumbledore's demon, so he will try his best to control himself, change his personality, change his thinking, and even change from not killing people to becoming the greatest white wizard today.

Dumbledore was a pathetic man, too.

The rarest confidant or even his lover left, and later turned against him and imprisoned him personally, the family member he cared about the most was killed by himself, and the only remaining family member did not have anything to do with him.

Almost all his life, he guarded a school by himself, and he was lonely and died.

Dumbledore is very similar to the original Severus!

The two of them ended up walking together for a short time, and neither said anything after that, and soon Dumbledore left.

And Zhang Jin just continued his trip to the Forbidden Forest.
