0045 Spark with Muggle Scholars

"Professor Dumbledore." Taking a step back to get out of the way, Ani politely greeted the headmaster.

"Well, Aini, hopefully our Potions professor won't be missing again before the final exams." Dumbledore was a little distressed, and Snape's resignation would be a problem for him if it was used by someone with a heart.

The same half-blood, the same immersion in the dark arts, the same talent, perhaps seeing his own shadow in Snape, Voldemort was particularly fond of this Slytherin junior.

Compared to the treatment of other Death Eaters, Tom's attitude towards Snape can be described as spoiled.

It was no secret among the Death Eaters that the Dark Lord had a crush on Snape, and they were jealous and afraid of the ruthless Lucky Boy.

Either way, most people understand that the half-blood wizard's future is worth investing in.

Therefore, the Death Eaters deliberately showed favor to Snape far more than the stunned blue who wrote the IQ arrears on his face.

But everything changed on that night in Godric's Hollow, when the lilies were withering.

The Dark Lord never returned, and the tide of the First Wizarding War was immediately reversed.

Every day, Death Eaters are captured, and those who resist die directly at the hands of the long-aggrieved Aurors of the Law Enforcement Division.

They tacitly adhered to a standard of reducing the number of Death Eaters by at least half before they were imprisoned in Azkaban.

However, to the anger of the Aurors, it didn't take long for the Ministry of Magic to order them to focus on capture and not kill too much.

The Death Eaters who were about to be imprisoned in Azkaban were reduced in another way, in a way that was despicable and shameful in the eyes of the Aurors.

Malfoy, Avery, McNeill, Crabbe......

Before the Aurors could find their way, a wealthy former Death Eater walked into the Ministry of Magic, washed off the Death Eater mark from his body and failed to board the express train to Azkaban under the poor pretext of being controlled by the Imperius Curse and a large sum of gold gallons.

It took six months for Moody, the legendary Auror "Mad Eye" to catch a big fish, a man with an amazing prowess in the dark arts, a name for himself in Northern Europe, and one of the top Death Eaters.

Igor Karkaroff, who later became the president of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was also a popular figure back then, but it is said that he became a little nervous during the six months he was being pursued by Moody.

Karkaroff's arrest greatly boosted the morale of the Aurors, but then Barty Crouch Sr., then head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, made a deal with Karkaroff that Karkaroff would give up a list of Death Eaters that the Aurors did not have in exchange for his own freedom.

The Aurors were very unhappy about this, and they thought that there was hardly any one of the remaining Death Eaters who would be more powerful than Karkaroff's.

Fortunately, during the perennial war, Barty Sr. cultivated a high reputation and trust among the Aurors, so that there was no chaos.

But with the arrest of Voldemort's spies in the Ministry of Magic, the turn of events pushed Barty Sr.'s prestige to the top.

If he suffers from infertility, Fudge has no hope of becoming Minister of Magic after Bagno retires.

While everyone cheered and cheered for Old Barty, another name surfaced -

Severus Snape, a gifted graduate of Hogwarts.

After Karkaroff identified Snape, the Aurors interrogated the captured Death Eaters and discovered an interesting story.

Snape was not active among the Death Eaters, nor was he keen to participate in various attacks, and he did not seem to be as eager and humble as others to please Voldemort.

However, almost every Death Eater has shown a certain amount of jealousy when mentioning Snape, and some have even called him "the Dark Lord's pet".

The Aurors' office decided to arrest Snape immediately.

Unfortunately, the Aurors' plan fell through, and a heavyweight vouched for Snape.

Dumbledore claimed that Snape was a spy instructed by him to infiltrate the Death Eaters.

But this claim was almost unbelievable, especially by the Wizengamot mages, who knew that Voldemort was a master of the Divine Remembrance par excellence.

These prestigious wizards didn't believe that anyone could go undercover with that adversary, not even some of the old wizards in the Wizengamot, let alone a young man who had only graduated from Hogwarts for three years.

But they forget that magic is a very talented craft.

However, due to Dumbledore's prestige, everyone did not bite Snape.

When the dust settled, as Dumbledore had hoped, Snape was not judged as a Death Eater.

However, the Wizengamot demanded that Snape be supervised, and Dumbledore acted as Snape's guardian.

Even today, the order has not been revoked, and it is theorized that Snape must report to the Ministry of Magic when he leaves Hogwarts.

Of course, there have been no problems for more than 10 years, and in fact, no one can afford to think about this regulatory order.

However, a certain well-known minister, Mr. Minister, has only been in power for a year, and he can't help but make some small moves.

"Mr. Headmaster, I have promised you that you will not leave Hogwarts for a while." Snape poked his head out and said to Dumbledore that he couldn't wait to talk to Ani about the gains of this trip to the Muggle world.

"Okay, okay, I know it's easier to get bored by young people when you're older, but to tell you the truth, Severus, you don't look like a young man anymore, how do you say that? Middle-aged and elderly? ”

Snape's absence made the old wizard somewhat resentful, and he left muttering something like an ordinary old man.

"Come in, Aini." Snape waited for Ani to enter the room, and hurriedly closed the door, completely ignoring the old headmaster's grievances.

Before Ernie could speak in his chair, Snape spoke impatiently about what he had seen and heard on the trip.

"It's hard to imagine that even magic is so easy for Muggles."

"It's a shame he's a Muggle, otherwise Mr. Wilmut's talent would have been able to open up a new branch in magic."

In Snape's gushing, Ani quickly got an idea of what he had been up to.

Snape had expected to be back within two days, but after approaching Wilmut, he decided to change his itinerary.

Although he has half Muggle blood, as he goes farther and farther on the road of magic, those Muggles will never be able to appreciate the scenery in their lifetime, so he naturally has a sense of superiority over the non-demon world.

There's no denying that, and in many ways magic does have an unmatched advantage over technology.

But Wilmut taught him that technology could also do things that magic couldn't.

Two scholars who are at the top of their respective fields meet late, and they bring two worlds that they have not been in contact with for a long time, and they have sparked a hot and dazzling spark.
