Chapter 12: Spies
"Mr. Headmaster, you actually came in person!" Lou Luo showed a look of sincere fear, "If there is anything, just ask someone to say hello, and I will come to you in the shortest possible time!" Look at me, I'm a little shy when you come here in person! ”
Lou Luo showed a hypocritical face peculiar to Orientals, and hurriedly beckoned Dumbledore into the house. Dumbledore's trip was to win over people, and both sides tacitly agreed that Lou Luo's enthusiasm did not surprise Dumbledore, and it was obvious that the old headmaster was prepared today.
In the face of Lou Luo's politeness, Dumbledore did not answer. He might have been very interested in this set of tedious etiquette of the Orientals in normal times, but now that the situation was anxious, he was not interested in listening to what Lou Luo had to say. He just used those wise little eyes to look deeply at Lou Luo through the half-moon-shaped lenses, and Lou Luo was also sitting on pins and needles in his gaze.
"Headmaster, sit down first!" Lou Luo put on a gesture of "please", "The flowers and plants in the yard have been cultivated by hand for more than a year, you can rest assured, I don't have the kind of plants you are allergic to." ”
Dumbledore just smiled and walked straight into the small courtyard, with no intention of continuing to spend it outside.
"Sun, you're a smart kid, and you've always been." Dumbledore's first words were compliments, and Lou Luo knew that in such a situation, his own path was no longer his choice. Dumbledore came in person, and it seemed that he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
"I already know what you're here for, Professor." Lou Luo nodded very knowingly, watching Dumbledore unceremoniously sit on the chaise longue he had placed in the courtyard, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "I agreed." ”
"Oh? Do you know what I'm going to ask you to do? Now it was Dumbledore's turn to be interested, "Are you sure you understand what I mean?" ”
"What is the Order of the Phoenix missing?" Lou Luo didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "I know that the Order of the Phoenix is lacking everything now, I want to ask what is lacking the most?" ”
A slight smile appeared on Dumbledore's face, and before he could answer, Lou Luo had already continued: "Intelligence. The biggest problem of the Order of the Phoenix today is that it is too lacking in intelligence, and the information is blocked, resulting in any action being suppressed by the Death Eaters' side. Although you have not lost important members yet, every action you take feels like a gamble. ”
"Looks like you already know what I'm going to plead with you." There was a hint of relief on Dumbledore's face, "There are many people who are suitable for this task, and I have examined several people, but I am not satisfied with them. In fact, even you, I came with an investigation, but I didn't expect it...... Hehe, I underestimated you! ”
"Professor, you think too highly of me." Lou Luo shook his head and said apologetically, "To tell you the truth, I've been hiding all along, preparing to spend this tense time playing Muggle, and I think you should know that." ”
"Actually, I think very simply, no matter which side finds me first, I will join. I'm a coward, I'm the only heir left in our family, and I don't want to die. Lou Luo spread his hands with a wry smile, "No matter which side you take the initiative to oppose, the price is not something I can afford." ”
"Don't you still choose now?" Dumbledore shook the recliner, the laid-back feeling making him a little drowsy.
"First of all, it's also a helpless move. Second, I didn't make a choice. Lou Luo smiled toothlessly, but in Dumbledore's opinion, his smile was too fake.
"I see." Dumbledore stared at Lou Luo for a long time before finally speaking, "Join the Death Eaters and get information, you want to give me information in this way, to be honest, it's more risky than I imagined." ”
"You've pushed me off a cliff, do you think...... I want to please both sides, is there any other option? Lou Luo put away his smirk and stared at Dumbledore solemnly, "My purpose is clear, I just want to protect myself. I'm not an ambitious person, and I don't want to target anyone. Join the Death Eaters, and once the Dark Lord wins, I'll be able to make a name for myself. If he fails, I won't be sent to Azkaban by virtue of my ability to deliver information to you! ”
"You are very capable and have ideas, but you lack ambition." Dumbledore finally stood up, "Do you know how to contact me?" ”
"Leaky Cauldron Bar?" Lou Luo asked tentatively.
"It seems that this year's hiding, you didn't waste your time on raising flowers and grass." Dumbledore nodded, "Find Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, who is one of our men." ”
"You just trust me and tell me directly about the informant at the Leaky Cauldron?" Lou Luo was a little surprised by Dumbledore's decisiveness, "If I fully commit myself to the Death Eaters, your informant will be in danger!" ”
"As you say, you're not sure which of us will win." Dumbledore had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, "I trust your judgment, as a smart man, you will not completely fall to either side at this time. ”
Dumbledore opened the door, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled at Dumbledore, leaving him with one last word before the apparition appeared: "They'll be coming soon, I'll wait for your good news." ”
As if to confirm Dumbledore's words, after his apparition left, before he could turn around and enter the courtyard, another apparition voice sounded!
"Set sail - Sun." A greasy tone sounded behind Lou Luo, interrupting Lou Luo's footsteps to enter the door.
It was a man with oily black hair, a hooked nose, and sallow yellow skin. He was dressed in a black robe that mopped the floor, probably due to the special material, even on this kind of rural dirt road, there was not a trace of dust.
Severus Snape!
Lou Luo narrowed his eyes, the 10,000-year-old facial paralysis in front of him was not the same Professor Snape who cared for Harry's growth like a calf eagle in the later text. He is now a serious Death Eater, strong, loyal to Voldemort, and a double harvest of fame, fortune and love, this kind of guy is definitely the perfect winner in life at his current level!
Lou Luo changed his expression of surprise, the original owner of the body did not know Snape, so no matter how surprised he appeared now, he could not exaggerate.
"Hello, excuse me...... Do I know you? ”
"We didn't know each other before, but soon we did." Snape stood there coldly and arrogantly, "Introduce yourself, my name is Severus, Severus Snape." ”
