"You're two hours and seven minutes late, Severus."

Standing in the mountains, Voldemort fiddled with a wand with his pale left hand.

He looked into the distance, where the view was so wide that he could see a bright light.

Voldemort silently admired the silhouette of the castle in the distance.

Hogwarts' unique spire, in the dark summer night, shone with a mysterious light of wisdom.

That's the treasure spot, he thought.

It was also his former home, and it buried the most important memories of his youth.

But he couldn't go in.

For the past few decades, it has all been because of an old man...... And tonight there was another young man.

Dumbledore will eventually grow old, in fact, he will be old; But Stark, who turned out to be born, was only sixteen years old.

This gave Voldemort an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"Why did you meet here, master?" Snape humbly fell to the ground.

"It's too close to Hogwarts, and those people are searching for you. If Dumbledore finds ......"

"You think I'm scared of Dumbledore?" Voldemort's red eyes flickered coldly.

"No, Dumbledore has been worried about your resurrection tonight, master, he is afraid of your resurrection...... He's old! ”

"I can't see that he's scared, otherwise how dare he trust Stark, that Mudblood, to show up alone at my resurrection party." Voldemort snorted.

"Why, you didn't bring Dumbledore and Stark to arrest me, and you came alone?

I thought there was going to be an ambush here. ”

"I've always been your man, from beginning to end." Snape grew humble.

"Back then, you ordered me to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where I was spying on Albus Dumbledore...... Have you forgotten? ”

"Yes, follow my orders...... This treatment is more than ten years. I don't see it, you're a loyal servant. Voldemort sneered:

"If you are really that faithful, why haven't you come to me for so many years? To save your poor master?

Raise your head and look me in the eye! ”

Voldemort said indifferently.

Snape looked up, black pupils looking at the magical red eyes.

He knew that Voldemort was already in the hands of the Regent to determine if he was lying.

"I thought you were ...... At the time, everyone thought so...... You're dead. Snape said sincerely.

"Am I doing something wrong? I shouldn't doubt your abilities? I don't want to excuse or cover it up, but that's how it is......"

"yes? Everley, Yaxley, Mr. and Mrs. Caro, Greyback, Lucius, ......"

Voldemort's red eyes? The flat, serpentine face shimmered pale in the dimness.

And many others...... You all think so? It felt like the great Dark Lord was dead, killed by a tiny baby.

Even if I tell you over and over again? Am I on the path of death? Farther than anyone else.

But you don't believe it!

You have disappointed me!

Drill the heart and cut the bones!! ”

Snape screamed, and he rolled on the ground in pain begging for mercy.

But Voldemort had no intention of stopping, he enjoyed the torture, and even cast the spell this time? than before tormenting Malfoy...... Longer than tormenting anyone.

Because Snape ...... It's late!

When the Dark Lord summons a servant? Snape didn't arrive immediately...... For that alone, he deserves to die!

But Voldemort still wanted to hear Snape's explanation, and if he couldn't surprise him, the benevolent Dark Lord wouldn't mind giving him a "surprise".

"Four years ago? Why are you preventing me from getting the Philosopher's Stone? He asked.

Snape wailed:

"I didn't know it was you at first. At that time, all I saw was greedy, incompetent Quirrell? He wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

I confess, I did everything in my power to stop him.

But you didn't look for me? Even if it's just a little bit of a plan to leak to me, I'm just desperate? will help you steal the Philosopher's Stone! ”

"Any idea why I didn't tell you? Know why I'm so weak? Would you rather share a body with a mediocre wizard? Don't you dare to expose yourself to a former servant? ”

Voldemort stared into Snape's eyes and raised his voice slightly.

"Because I don't know if you can be trusted, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid you've gone from a loyal Death Eater to a lackey of Dumbledore!

I didn't dare believe you at the time, but four years later, you told me, why should I believe you! ”

Instead of stepping on Snape's hair, Voldemort stepped on his back.

"Even if you can rush to my side when you feel the Dark Mark burning when I am resurrected...... I can convince myself at this point to try to trust you.

But you don't! ”

"Yes, I'll be back in two hours, master." Snape exclaimed.

"I came back at Dumbledore's orders."

"What, you came back at Dumbledore's words?" Voldemort was furious.

"Yes, master." Snape endured the pain and said, "I was late, but I waited for two hours, just two hours, and I promised that I could continue to stay at Hogwarts as an agent!" ”

Voldemort stared at Snape, but didn't speak.

"Now, Dumbledore thinks I'm his man." Snape Expressway.

"I'm constantly reporting on him and the Order of the Phoenix!"

"Order of the Phoenix!" Voldemort roared.

"Yes, earlier tonight, Dumbledore had already issued the Order of the Phoenix and reactivated the Order of the Phoenix!" Snape brought the first intel.

"Expected." Voldemort said dismissively. "Keep talking!"

"In those months, the Dark Mark became clearer and clearer, and I knew you were definitely coming back, and all the Death Eaters knew about it!" Snape went on to explain.

"I had plenty of time to think about where to go from here and plan what to do next.

I still remember your command!

But I can't reach you, so I'm on my own, I think...... As long as you have Dumbledore's trust, you can bring more benefits.

I made it and he really thought I was his man......"

Voldemort said in his high-pitched, clear voice, "So, what important information did you bring me?" ”

"All the intelligence about Dumbledore in the past sixteen years." Snape said immediately.

"This is indeed a valuable greeting gift......," Voldemort nodded.

"What else?"

"Crouch has been caught, and the house-elf Twilight. His plan was discovered by Stark.

That's why Stark is showing up at your resurrection party tonight. ”

"A faithful servant, a pity...... It's so useless. Voldemort said indifferently.

Dead servants are worthless. No matter how loyal he is.

"I have one more important piece of information."

"What?"

Snape whispered, "Dumbledore and Minister Fudge have parted ways. Fudge doesn't believe you're back.

It won't be long before I think next term, Fudge will interfere with Hogwarts.

Dumbledore will be too busy to deal with us. ”

Voldemort smiled, the first time he had seen Snape.

"Yes, that's the first good news I heard today. The other servants were of no use except regret. ”

Snape's face was expressionless, but he breathed a sigh of relief inside.

This represents...... Tonight he passed.

Voldemort regained his trust in him.

After a moment of silence, Voldemort suddenly said, "Severus, you are a master of potions, and in this regard, you are more proficient than me.

You can help me take a look at the wound in my arm. ”

Snape was taken aback.

I saw Voldemort pull up his sleeves, and his right hand, which had been covered, was poisoned and black.

Snape whispered a spell and aimed his wand at the wrist, but the wound on the arm did not heal.

His heart suddenly set off a storm, and he remembered that in the morning, the big came to him and asked for a series of potions.

Voldemort was obviously a new type of mixed poison.

"I don't know the type of poison, and I can't cure it yet, so I can only contain the poison in one hand for the time being......," Snape shook his head.

Voldemort also didn't expect Snape to be cured immediately.

He stared into Snape's eyes and suddenly said, "Severus, you begged me to spare that Mudblood, Lily Potter.

But I still killed her in the end, you don't blame me, do you? ”

Snape looked into Voldemort's eyes and said in an unwavering tone: "Master, it's just a mudblood!"

He's dead...... and died.

I've long forgotten about that mudblood. ”

Voldemort kept staring into Snape's eyes for a long time before he smiled:

"Very well, I'll give you a task now.

From Stark, help me get the antidote! ”
