"I'm against it." Snape didn't think it was a good idea, and he shook his head speechlessly, "We all know what's going on with him, and letting him stay at school will only break us up from the inside out, he's too close to Potter, he's always learned about Potter's strengths and weaknesses." ”

"Calm down, Severus." Dumbledore made a gesture to keep his senses and added, "On the contrary, I think it's a good idea, no one knows the dark arts better than the Dark Lord, and it's clear that Tom wants Voldemort to be destroyed more than we do now." ”

"But what about after the annihilation, Albus." Snape looked agitated, "When he's out of the way, he'll be easy to deal with us, and he's even starting to doubt me." ”

In the original story, Snape was a deeply hidden undercover agent, ostensibly a Death Eater who was undercover at Hogwarts for Voldemort.

In fact, the members of the Order of the Phoenix who pretended to be undercover at Hogwarts dressed as a Death Eater in order to deal with Voldemort, and even until Voldemort was eliminated, they didn't know that Snape was an undercover agent.

But now it's different, now that Tom is active at Hogwarts, he's an observant and can certainly spot problems.

The Death Eater, who called him "Master", showed too much trust in Dumbledore.

Under Dumbledore's persuasion, Snape gradually regained his emotions, and he said apologetically: "I think about some things in the past, and I can't accept another failure. I'm sorry Albus, but I believe in you unconditionally. ”

The final result of the discussion, if Tom makes an application, is approved by all professors. But if he doesn't apply, he won't take the initiative, he is so suspicious, it's not a wise choice to ask him.

So, there is still the question, how can we be sure that he will definitely apply to stay in school to teach?

Dumbledore glanced at the mirror, but didn't speak.

After the meeting, Xijing walked out of the principal's office, and within two steps he saw Tom walking towards him, holding a notebook in his hand, as if he was about to go to a professor to ask questions about his studies.

"Professor Lin." I haven't seen him for a week, and he suddenly became polite to himself, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I have a few questions I want to ask you, is it convenient for you now?" ”

"I just came back, how can you say that you met it by chance when you prepared notes and books?" Xijing directly exposed his politeness, "It's obvious that you're looking for me on purpose, what's there to hide?" I've never scolded you for writing your homework wrong. ”

He seemed to have been caught as a thief, and he wanted to refute but couldn't say anything to refute, so he raised a bright smile and said, "Professor Lin, I have encountered some intellectual difficulties during the week of your absence, and my thirst for knowledge has made me come to you for advice as soon as I get the news of your return." ”

"Being in such a hurry must be very confusing to you." Xijing said as he walked towards his office, and also politely, "I heard that you won a game, congratulations." ”

He suddenly walked around to Xijing, looked a little unhappy, and said a little aggrieved: "Dai, I always thought that I was your good friend, or at least in your opinion, I am different from others. ”

"Why do you suddenly say that, I think of you as a friend." Xijing frowned slightly, "If I don't treat you as a friend, how can I still say a word to you based on the things you do." ”

It's about the early ending in the Book of Red Mansions.
