Headmaster Dumbledore's castle search failed to find any intruders or dangerous creatures that had escaped from the Forbidden Forest, so it had to be disbanded in the end.

After all, the location of the vault is below the castle, and the basilisk moves along the intricate sewers.

It's almost impossible to find or catch it unless it's caught red-handed.

In particular, its magically resistant scales can resist and even bounce off many spells that are less powerful, and it would take a lot of effort for professors to deal with them.

However, Dumbledore did not give up, but wanted to wait for the victim student who had fallen into a coma to wake up, and then see if he could use the meditation basin to extract the memories of the attack and confirm the true identity of the attacker.

Because of the blatant attack on students in Hogwarts Castle, this kind of thing undoubtedly seriously touched his reverse scale and bottom line.

Until the truth is known, this old man will not give up.

As for the "little episode" that happened in the cellar warehouse between Lockhart and Zuosi, who were controlled by Voldemort in their youth, outsiders have no way of knowing at all.

Either party will not reveal it to anyone, but will treat it as a secret that only each other knows.

Voldemort, in particular, hid the diary in a secret room as soon as he returned to Lockhart's office, where the basilisk guarded it twenty-four hours a day.

In addition to this, he also went to the Forbidden Forest to hunt many animals to feed the hungry pet, and sped up the rate at which he devoured and absorbed Lockhart's life force.

Obviously, the previous battle with Zuo Si gave the young Dark Lord a great stimulus.

So much so that he made a surprising decision, that is, to wait for a complete resurrection to find another one to join forces with.

Since Horcruxes can sense each other, Voldemort himself, who is hiding in Albania, vaguely feels that one of his Horcruxes has awakened.

It's just that it's too far away, so I don't know which one it is.

And now that he doesn't even have a possessed object, he doesn't dare to return to the British Isles, let alone get close to Hogwarts, where Dumbledore sits.

At this very moment, the man who once terrified the British wizarding world was hiding in an uninhabited bunker, flipping through a newspaper he had just found from a local wizard.

The hapless wizard was now lying in the corner of the bunker, not only stiff all over, but also pale and blue, with two conspicuous holes in his neck, but no longer bleeding, apparently poisoned.

To be exact, he was bitten to death by a snake possessed by Voldemort.

It is estimated that by the time others found it, the body had already decomposed to the point that only a pile of bones remained.

You must know that Albania is known as the "country of bunkers", and its leader Enver Hoxha is famous for his "persecution paranoia" and "bunker construction maniac".

In the forty years since the end of World War II, hundreds of thousands of bunkers have been built frantically along the country.

On average, there is one bunker for every 10 Albanians, a coverage that no other country can match.

Therefore, the name of "Bunker Country" is not in vain.

With so many bunkers, it is naturally impossible for people to come to inspect and maintain them frequently, so it naturally becomes an excellent hiding place.

Coupled with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in the past two years, the whole of Albania is experiencing violent turmoil, and the whole country is deeply involved in Ponzi schemes, and there is no one to take care of these bunkers.

As for the local wizards, due to the small number and very closed relationship, there is no way to form a unified and effective governing body like other places.

That's why Voldemort chose to hide here.

When he saw the news in the newspapers about the second philosopher's stone and the resurrection of the dead, he instantly fell into irrepressible ecstasy.

Because this power is just the perfect solution to get it out of its current half-dead state.

The only question is, where do you find a loyal subordinate to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and steal the Philosopher's Stone made by Zuo Si?

After pondering for a long time, Voldemort quickly set his sights on another Awakened Horcrux.

Now, he can't trust the Death Eaters who either chose to betray or get out after his downfall, but the other self is more credible.

So, under the influence of Zuo Si's butterfly flapping its wings, the two Dark Lords of different ages miraculously really wanted to join forces.

I don't know how the wizards in the British wizarding world will react when they hear this news, whether they will be directly frightened.

After all, one Voldemort got them back then, and now there is still a psychological shadow, if the two of them get together, it will be fine.

Zuo Si obviously didn't know anything about the two Dark Lords joining forces.

I guess even if I knew, I wouldn't care too much.

Because he already has a clear understanding of Voldemort's potential and ceiling, he doesn't feel that the other party can pose any threat to him.

Not to mention two, even if seven Horcruxes awaken at the same time, it is useless to summon a divine dragon that can make a wish.

Without access to magical knowledge and technology from other worlds, it is difficult for even the most talented to break through the limitations of their own civilization, and Voldemort is the best example.

No matter how much he tossed, he couldn't jump out of the magic system of wands and spells that had been formed a thousand years ago.

That's why the Traveling Mage is called the most buggy group in the multiverse.

They can travel through a variety of planes and worlds without any restrictions, draw knowledge and power from completely different magical civilizations, and then form a unique magical system that suits them best.

Coupled with the long lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years granted by the spark, as long as you don't seek death yourself, sooner or later you will become a powerful existence like a god, or a god surpass.

So from the beginning, Zuo Si didn't take Voldemort seriously.

At the moment, he was sitting in Snape's house, enjoying a scene of mother and son recognizing each other with great interest.

Harry had seen his mother when she was young through the Magic Mirror and the photo album provided by Hagrid in the last semester.

So the moment he crossed the threshold, the whole person trembled with excitement.

Lily had apparently noticed the boy with the same dark green eyes as herself, and immediately felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness in her heart.

She first got up and kissed Snape, and then asked in a tone of uncertainty that she was, "Who is this child?" ”

"His name is Harry Potter, and he's your son." Snape replied in a very gentle voice.

"I ...... And your son? Lily's mouth grew in surprise.

In the same way as her, there was also a savior standing at the door who was just about to rush up to recognize him.

Especially seeing the picture of his mother kissing Snape made Harry suddenly get goosebumps, and he felt as uncomfortable as he felt in the bottom of his heart.

Snape shook his head slightly, "No, of course not. His last name is Potter, and he's the kid you had with another nasty bastard.

It was that self-righteous guy who led to the later tragedy and the death of Ling.

Some time ago, because you had just been resurrected, your mind and memory were in a mess, so I didn't tell you this.

Now that things are back to normal, I think it's time for you mother and son to recognize each other. ”

"What do you mean...... Am I married to someone else? An unbelievable shock appeared on Lily's face.

Because she selectively told the truth, she always thought that she and Snape were a natural pair, which is why she fell in love so quickly in each other's sweet words.

But now, all of a sudden, the whole thing has taken a huge turn.

It turns out that she not only married someone else, but also gave birth to a child!

What's going on here?

Is the scumbag Snape having a change of heart?

Or did you cheat on your own water-based poplar?

Lily's sixth sense as a woman exploded, and she instantly felt that there must be something wrong with it.

"Listen to me, my dear."

Noticing the violent reaction of the love of his life, Snape was visibly flustered.

Just when he wanted to reveal all the secrets, Zuo Si suddenly stood up and interjected: "Ms. Lily, the truth is actually like this. You and Professor Snape have indeed been playmates since childhood, and have always had a very good relationship. But all of this changed a little with the arrival at Hogwarts. ”

"What's changed?" Lily asked, frowning.

"It's the Branches. As we all know, Hogwarts is divided into four houses, and every student enters one of them under the arrangement of the Sorting Hat when they enter the house.

Unfortunately, Professor Snape was placed in Slytherin and you were placed in Gryffindor.

The most important thing is that there have always been complex grievances and hatreds between the two colleges, so both sides often look at each other unpleasantly.

During his time at school, Gryffindor House had a very nasty and self-righteous guy who always liked to take the initiative to trouble Slytherin students, and also ganged up to bully Professor Snape.

Eventually, the two sides formed a bond and gradually became enemies over the course of several years.

It was at this time that this pesky creature discovered your intimate relationship with Professor Snape, and had the vicious idea of snatching you away from Professor Snape.

To do this, he and his accomplices devise a series of traps to mislead Professor Snape about, eventually breaking you both up and taking advantage of them himself.

And this man is Harry Potter's father, your first husband.

Later, because of the blow, Professor Snape became disheartened and gave up on himself, and chose to join the Death Eaters and become one of Voldemort's men.

But even so, he explicitly asked Voldemort not to hurt you.

Even after learning that you were killed, he immediately chose to rebel in anger, and promised Headmaster Dumbledore to protect your child Harry Potter and secretly be a double agent who is always at great risk......"

There is no doubt that in this selective description of Zuosi, Snape has completely become a great man who is willing to sacrifice everything for love, and Harry's father is a downright vile villain.

And he also grasped Lily's psychology very accurately, so that after listening to it, he was immediately moved to forget his previous suspicions, and immediately picked up Snape's face and kissed it.

Snape, on the other hand, secretly cast a grateful glance while enjoying a kiss that was like a flame.

At this moment, the Potions Master finally realized why Zuo Si was always able to handle the relationship with everyone around him with ease, even in the face of a difficult character like Dumbledore.

Aside from anything else, the mere act of figuring out the other person's heart and saying what the other person most wants to hear in a half-truthful way is enough to make people feel frightened.

Moreover, this fear is different from Voldemort's simple violence, killing, and death, but something deeper and closer to the essence.

Especially the huge shadow projected on the wall when the lights in the house shone on Zuo Si's body, as if that was the true face of his soul hidden under the skin.

Compared to Snape, who had just resolved a crisis, Harry, who witnessed the kissing scene of his biological mother kissing the professor he hated the most, obviously showed a very unhappy, even disgusted, expression.

I saw him take a deep breath and force himself to remain calm, and then walked to Zuo Si's side and questioned: "What you just said is true?" My father deliberately broke him up with my mother out of revenge on Snape, and then took advantage of it? ”

"Of course! I never lie about this kind of thing (I just have to be selective about telling the truth). Zuo Si pursed the corners of his mouth and replied meaningfully.

In fact, when James Potter first began to pursue Lily, he did have this in mind.

But later, as the two got closer and closer, he gradually and inevitably became fascinated by each other.

After all, there is hardly any witch of her age who can perform better than Lily.

Otherwise, the two would have been separated in the pursuit for more than a year, how could they still find time to have a child.

But Zuoth wouldn't tell Harry that.

He didn't know James Potter well, so why did he give up the good relationship he had established with Potions Master Snape for the sake of the other.

"But Hagrid said my father was a good man." Harry argued with a frown.

Zuo Si sneered and asked, "Good guy? Do you think good people will bully and bully other classmates? What's more, Hagrid himself is from Gryffindor House, so he will naturally inevitably turn to his own people. On top of that, your father has been dead for more than a decade, and there is no point in arguing about him right now. ”

"Nope! Make sense! Now that my mother has been resurrected, my father can be resurrected as well. ”

As he said this, the Savior's eyes sparkled with a light called hope.

"Oh, yes, that's true in theory. But the question is, are you sure you can get a spot from the Ministry of Magic? As far as I know, the list of resurrections has already been lined up for two or three years. They don't make it easy for you just because you're Harry Potter. ”

Zuo Si directly poured a basin of cold ice water on the whimsical child in front of him.

In the Ministry of Magic, where interests are intertwined, fame is of no use at all.

Especially the bureaucrats who hold power don't care what kind of savior you are, but your status in the wizarding world and how much money you can donate to the Ministry of Magic.

Harry had a large inheritance at his disposal, but he was still a second-year Hogwarts student and lacked the most basic social status.

"Can't you help me?"

The Savior subconsciously asked a very naïve and stupid question.

Zuo Si shook his head bluntly: "Sorry, I can't." I've given the Ministry of Magic the use of the Philosopher's Stone, and if you want to resurrect your father, you'll have to go through the normal process on your own. If nothing else, at least don't be delusional until you graduate. At that time, it is estimated that your half-brother or sister has already given birth to several. ”

With that, Zuo Si set his eyes on Lily's slightly bulging lower abdomen.

I don't know if it was because of the use of certain fertility-enhancing potions, or if certain exercises were done more frequently, and Snape actually caused a human life.

With this developing fetus as insurance, even if James Potter is resurrected immediately, don't expect to be able to separate the two easily.

Just as Harry was about to say something, the other two adults in the room finally recovered from a passionate kiss.

Lily calmed down her excitement a little, and then walked straight over and hugged her son in her arms, and said with tears streaming down her face, "You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?" ”

"Well—actually, it's okay. Aunt Petunia and Aunt Vernon at least gave me a place to live. Harry replied with tears in his eyes.

"They're abusing you?" Lily's eyes flashed with anger.

"Ma'am, your sister and brother-in-law not only abused Harry, but also forced him to do all sorts of household chores, and would lock him up without food at the slightest disappointment. While Headmaster Dumbledore did this so that the protective magic he had applied to Harry would continue to work, and that Voldemort would not be able to harm him, I think something was wrong. ”

Zuo Si interjected appropriately.

His goal was simple, to weaken Dumbledore's influence on the woman in front of him as much as possible, thus ensuring that Snape would always be on his side.

"What? How dare they! And Dumbledore! Who gave him the authority to arrange my son! ”

Lily was furious in an instant, and did not save any face for the greatest wizard of our time.

Because Dumbledore was not legally related to Harry Potter himself, he was not in a position to decide who would give Harry to raise as a baby.

"Honey, calm down and don't get angry. Don't forget that you're pregnant now, and getting angry is not good for your body and your baby. Rest assured, I've helped you get custody back through some means. Once the Ministry of Magic has granted us legal status, you can let Harry live with us. Snape hurried over and comforted.

"Really?" Lily's face was full of emotion and surprise.

Since the time the two have been together since the resurrection, she has become aware of the infatuation of the man in front of her.

Especially if there is something he wants, as long as he shows the slightest intention, he doesn't have to say anything, and Snape will be ready the next day.

This kind of meticulous care and pampering can be fatal for any woman.

Snape nodded earnestly, "Of course it's true." I can bring Harry back to visit you every day after the class and have dinner with you if you want. ”

"Great! Severus! You're so thoughtful. Lily held out her other hand to protect Snape.

At this moment, she is holding her lover with one hand and her long-lost son with the other, and the whole person is surrounded by a great sense of happiness.

For Harry, though, the experience was a bit of a mixed feeling of pain and happiness.

The warmth and affection brought by being embraced by his biological mother naturally made him very happy and joyful.

But as soon as he saw Snape's close, happy face, he felt an indescribable awkwardness, rejection, and discomfort.

Fortunately!

Lily's hug didn't last long, and after a brief conversation, she immediately ran into the kitchen to prepare a hearty meal.

Hearing that her son was often starving and abused at her sister's and brother-in-law's house made her desperate to do something to make amends.

Seeing the figure of the young mother completely walk away, Snape, who had successfully passed the test without danger, was obviously relieved, stood up and poured himself a glass of wine, and asked Zuoth and Harry with a smile: "There is still a moment before dinner, what do you two want to drink?" ”

"In addition to alcoholic beverages, tea, lemonade, juice, coffee are fine." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He's never been picky about drinks, but he's not interested in alcohol.

On the one hand, the primitive and backward brewing process of the Feilun Continent really did not leave a good impression on him, and on the other hand, the taste of alcohol was too unpleasant, and it would have a certain negative impact on the brain.

"I want a butterbeer."

Harry looked a little reserved, and whispered a drink that was more traditional in the British wizarding world.

It can be seen that his brain is very messed up now.

Especially after witnessing the deep love between my mother and the professor I hated the most, I didn't know what to do.

Snape raised his wand and waved it gently, quickly placing the drink they had asked for on the living room table, along with the glass.

After doing all this, he smiled and said to Zuo Si: "Thank you!" If it weren't for your help, I don't know how it would have ended. ”

"You're so polite, I'm just telling you exactly what happened back then. Finally, congratulations on becoming a father soon......"

When he said this, Zuo Si deliberately glanced at the savior sitting beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Obviously, this is a classic pun.

Although Harry Potter himself didn't notice it, Snape instantly understood, the corners of his mouth rose wildly, touched his hair and laughed and sighed: "Hahahaha! It's really fateful. I can't believe that I can regain everything that has been lost, and even a family and a child of my own. By the way, if it's a boy, what do you think I should have a better name? ”

"I think you should ask Harry for advice. After all, he's going to be an older brother. ”

Zuo Si elbowed the savior, who was pouring butterbeer.

The latter was choked violently in an instant, first covering his mouth and coughing violently for several seconds, and then asked with a blank face: "What did you just say?" ”

"Give your brother or sister a name. After all, you're part of the family. Snape repeated in an "old father" tone.

"I ...... I do not know. It all came so suddenly, and I think it might take me some time to digest and get used to. Harry replied with a wry smile.

Mother?

Stepfather?

New family?

And a half-brother or sister?

In particular, Snape's 180-degree turn in attitude always gave him a very absurd and unreal feeling, and he was very, very, very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I understand. But promise me, at least in front of your mother, Lily, that we'll at least show like we're loving each other, okay? I hope that she can live in joy and happiness every day from now on, and never have any worries again. Snape lowered his posture and pleaded in a sincere tone.

From those affectionate eyes, Harry clearly felt the man's feelings for his mother, and after hesitating for a moment, he immediately replied, "Good! I promise you! ”

"Thank you! In exchange, I'll give you some extra help in school. Like tidying up Draco every once in a while. Snape said in a half-joking tone.

And this sentence reminded Harry of the embarrassed appearance of Young Master Malfoy who made trouble for him during the day, and was scolded severely, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

He suddenly realized that it wasn't Snape that he hated before, but that he always favored Slytherin House and targeted him.

Now on the other hand, I feel an inexplicable excitement and refreshment.

During the sumptuous dinner, Lily vigorously added food to her son, quickly eliminating the strangeness between mother and son, and at the same time giving Harry a first taste of what true family affection is, eating almost twice as much food as usual until he could no longer stuff anything in his stomach.

Even when returning to Hogwarts, he was always reluctant to wave goodbye with three steps and one turn back.

In this way, with Snape's deliberate pandering, Harry Potter finally reluctantly accepted that his mother was about to marry another man besides his father, and promised to go to the wedding and send his blessings.

Little did he know that this was just the beginning, not the end.

Once married, Snape would have full custody, which would inevitably ruin the tragic fate that Dumbledore had arranged for Harry, and instead push him to a completely different path in life.

At that time, the contradictions and conflicts between the two will break out in full swing.

And the savior will also face an extremely difficult choice, that is, choose to trust the principal he respects, or choose to follow the arrangements of his mother and stepfather.

……

Obviously, something like taking Harry Potter out of Hogwarts would certainly not be able to hide from Dumbledore, who was the headmaster.

When the three of them walked into the auditorium on the first floor, they saw the old man standing at the door waiting for him.

"Where have you been?" Dumbledore asked, expressionless.

"I ......"

Harry was visibly weak-hearted, and cautiously turned his gaze to the other two beside him.

Snape was clearly not as afraid of the Headmaster as the others, and stepped forward to block his stepson behind him, and replied crisply, "I took them home." ”

"Home?"

Dumbledore had apparently gotten the answer he wanted from the Savior's reaction, narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "I don't remember you having a home, Severus. Moreover, Hogwarts is a full-time boarding school of witchcraft and wizardry, and students are absolutely not allowed to leave the school until they have taken a leave of absence and have been approved. ”

"When did you care so much about school rules? I remember that Gryffindor graduates were the ones who liked to break the rules. What's more, can you really bear to prevent a child from meeting his biological mother, who has never been masked for ten years? Snape sneered and snapped.

"So Lily was resurrected? Do you really know what you're doing? Dumbledore's tone suddenly became stern.

Snape pouted disdainfully, "Humph! Of course I know what I'm doing. And the wizarding world is changing dramatically, and your old stuff is no longer up to date. If you want to train Harry to be a weapon against Voldemort, then pass me first. For Lily's sake, I would never allow anyone to hurt him. ”

"Weapons? I? ”

Harry was stunned.

"That's right. Do you think Dumbledore had any good intentions? No! He's taking advantage of you! I want you to fight Voldemort desperately, or even die with him. Snape was straightforward in his choice of showdown.

Because from the moment Lily was resurrected, he completely parted ways with Dumbledore.

It's just that neither side has pierced this layer of window paper before.

"Is this true? Professor! ”

Harry visibly felt betrayed, and subconsciously clenched his fists and asked loudly.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and replied in a slightly tired voice, "Yes, Snape is right, I did intend to do so. But it's all a fate you have to face! Because that lightning-shaped scar on your head contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul, or your whole being is a Horcrux he accidentally created. ”

"Horcruxes? So what? ”

Harry felt like his little brain was starting to lose a bit.

At this moment, he began to envy Zuo Si's profound knowledge and psychological quality to remain calm and calm no matter what happened.

"It's a bit cumbersome to explain, and it's too complicated for you, so let's put it aside for now. You just have to believe that what I'm doing is not hurting you, but helping you. Dumbledore patiently explained.

Unfortunately, just as Harry gradually developed trust in the old headmaster, Zuo Si suddenly stood up and interrupted: "Professor, manipulating other people's fates at will, whether it is out of good intentions or malicious intentions, is definitely not good in nature. And Madam Lily asked me to bring you a message, which meant that you Dumbledore had the right to arrange for her son. ”

Moment!

Dumbledore's face changed dramatically.

As Harry Potter's mother, Lily is clearly qualified to say this, and is more capable of disrupting all his plans.

After all, even the greatest wizard of our time will never have as much influence on a child as his own mother.

This is also the reason why he strongly opposes the use of the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect the dead.

When people who have been dead for a few years or even more than a decade are resurrected, there are too many uncertainties.

"Are you going to oppose me too?" Dumbledore asked, staring into Zuosi's eyes.

Zuo Si smiled and retorted, "No, Professor, you are wrong.

I'm not against you, I just want to give Harry a chance to choose his own destiny, not to be manipulated like a marionette according to the course you have planned.

On top of that, don't you think it's a very dangerous and cruel thing to deliberately put a few first-year freshmen to face a twisted and sick soul like Voldemort? ”

"Ann...... Arrangement! You're saying that my encounter with Voldemort last semester was all arranged? Is this true? Professor Dumbledore! ”

Harry, who was beginning to learn some truths, looked furious.

He couldn't believe that the headmaster, whom he had always respected, had been deceiving and fooling him like a fool.

Dumbledore hurriedly explained, "It's not what you thought it would be. It is true that I arranged the meeting with Voldemort, but only in the hope that you will meet the most powerful and fearsome enemies of the future, and become brave and resolute. ”

"Then why didn't you tell me the truth afterwards?" Harry questioned unceremoniously.

It is not difficult to see from his tone and demeanor that he no longer trusts the other party.

"Alas—you're too emotional, it's not a good day to talk, so let's wait another day."

Realizing that no matter what he said, the boy in front of him would not listen, Dumbledore could only sigh and turn away.

Seeing his back gradually disappear at the corner of the stairs leading to the upper floor, Zuo Si said in a slightly playful tone: "It seems that after tonight, we will all be on the blacklist of the principal." ”

"It doesn't matter! No matter what he thinks, I'm definitely not going to follow his orders. Snape was clear.

From the moment he chose the showdown, he anticipated this day and made countless preparations accordingly.

What's more, Dumbledore is not a dark wizard, he will only take measures within the rules, and there is no need to be afraid at all.

"That's what I said, let's see the move." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively.

Since the plan was going so well, he had already gained a huge reputation and a prominent position in the wizarding world, so there was no need to look at Dumbledore's face at all.

If necessary, there are even some means to get Hogwarts to change a headmaster.

You must know that playing with rules, laws and exchange of interests, Zuo Si is a professional, and ten Dumbledores tied together are not his opponents.

"That...... Can any of you explain to me what all this is all about? Harry blinked in confusion.

"Let's go, follow me to the office, and I'll tell you the truth."

Snape took the job and dragged the Savior to disappear at the end of the stairs leading to the cellar.

When everything returned to calm, Zuo Si turned to the clock in the corner and said, "How long are you going to hide there?" Be careful for a while to catch a cold. ”

The voice has not fallen!

Suddenly, there was a crisp sneeze near the table clock.

Immediately after, a girl in a light pink pajama appeared out of thin air, covering her mouth and nose, it was none other than Miss Hermione Granger herself.

I saw that she was wearing long and scattered hair, wearing plush shoes on her feet, holding towels, soap, toothbrushes and other toiletries in her hands, and her body exuded a faint smell of water vapor and shower gel, obviously just finished taking a bath.

The girl who was caught red-handed turned red and explained with some embarrassment: "I swear I just happened to pass by, and I definitely didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”

"Happened to be passing by? And then happened to cast a silent illusion spell? ”

Zuo Si raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing this statement.

"Damn! Can't you just give me a staircase down? Well, I'll admit, it was because I was curious why Headmaster Dumbledore was standing in the doorway, so I cast a disillusionment charm to see what he was up to. But who would have thought that I would actually hear the conversation between you. Hermione rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"Hehe, it's exactly what I expected."

Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the girl huddled in the corner, but she didn't break it.

"By the way, what exactly were you talking about? Did Dumbledore really want to raise Harry as a weapon against Voldemort? ”

Hermione, who had inadvertently eaten a big melon, was obviously curious about the ins and outs of this matter.

"It's a long story. Remember that lightning-shaped mark on Harry's forehead? It was actually a Horcrux, a fragment of Voldemort's soul that he had inadvertently left in his body......"

Zuo Si used an unhurried tone to tell the whole incident as it was, without concealing anything at all.

Because he knew that Snape was telling Harry at the moment, and it wouldn't be a secret before it ceased.

"OMG! This...... It's just brutal! Harry had the enemy's soul fragments in his body, so he had to kill himself in the end to be able to destroy Voldemort once and for all? The girl exclaimed, covering her mouth.

"No, dear Miss Granger, it's not this that is really cruel, it's that Harry's fate has been laid out by Professor Dumbledore since he was a baby. Think about it, if your life was arranged by another guy, and you yourself didn't know anything about it, wouldn't you be afraid and angry? ”

Zuo Si said as he took out his wand and planned to cast a spell on the girl who was shivering from the cold.

Hermione, however, stopped the act and unbuttoned his jacket and slipped herself in.

After feeling the temperature and smell of each other's bodies for a while, the girl smiled bitterly and said, "It's quite scary." Professor Dumbledore had clearly gone too far, although he had good intentions and hoped that Harry would be as prepared as possible when facing Voldemort. ”

"So that's why I had a quarrel with Professor Snape and the headmaster. Times are changing, spells and magic are advancing, and just because Professor Dumbledore can't solve Horcruxes himself doesn't mean we who come after us can't. ”

When he said this, Zuo Si's tone and demeanor were full of strong confidence.

With his depth of research in the realm of souls, as long as he understands the mysteries of Horcrux creation, it is simply a matter of easy task to crack them.

What's more, even if you can't crack it, you can destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes by creating clones to transfer souls, or killing and resurrecting by mistake, etc., on the premise of ensuring the survival of Harry Potter.

"I'm sure you'll be able to do it!"

Hermione looked up, her eyes revealing a hint of adoration, and her hands in her clothes tightened and her breathing became shorter.

Undoubtedly, this is a very obvious invitation signal.

Zuo Si lowered his head and made a gesture in response.

Eventually, the two hugged each other and had a close-up encounter, which lasted for several minutes......

(End of chapter)
