"You're messing around!"

Snape was completely detached from his usual composure. In its place, there was an angry, almost distorted face and an out-of-control roar.

He propped his hands on the table, leaned forward, and glared angrily at the man across the table.

And he glared at him angrily, one of the greatest wizards in the entire wizarding world, Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sat in his place, looking up at the oppressive Snape, his expression did not change in the slightest, as Snape remembered, an almost lofty abruptness.

In the Headmaster's room, the portraits of the previous headmasters were silent and silent, as if they were portraits of the Muggle world, unable to see, speak, or hear.

He's been saying it for a long time. And Dumbledore, he just smiled.

"Sit down, Severus, it's a good day. The candy I ordered finally arrived. Would you like to taste some? ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore pulled out a large pile of candy from his drawer and placed it on the table as if it were a treasure, sharing with Snape his joy of getting the object he loved.

Snape was even more annoyed, feeling that his anger was unnecessary.

He looked at Dumbledore with a look of almost pain, "What the hell do you want to do!" Is that him? He's back? You're still letting him into the school? Do you know what that means to Harry?! ”

Dumbledore simply ripped open the skin cloak of the villain candy, revealing the skeleton-shaped candy inside.

"I thought you weren't that concerned about Mr. Potter's situation."

After he finished speaking, he shoved the small piece of candy into his mouth, and his face showed obvious satisfaction.

Looking at Dumbledore's painting that doesn't matter, you call me to make a big mess, Snape really feels that he can't get out of any fire.

After all...... Even if it were Professor McGonagall and that level of trouble between them, it would be a wizarding duel at best. And if it were a student, Snape would have taught him what it meant to be uplifted.

But this is Dumbledore in front of him. Don't talk about giving him a big mouth, it's really annoying, it's good if he doesn't give himself a big mouth.

What's more, Snape thought sadly: "Even if I really slap him, I'm afraid this old guy may not be angry." ”

"The Evil God"

In his perception, Dumbledore was not a heartless man. So I'm afraid he also feels guilty now. But because he felt that he was right, he would never stop his actions even if he felt guilty.

If you really slap him, it may not be humiliating and torturing him, but it may make him release some of his guilt.

Of course, if Luke was there, he might have looked at Dumbledore and told Snape if his guess was correct.

It's a pity that Luke isn't there.

"At least tell me what exactly you want to do." Snape stared at the old man in front of him solemnly, his tone was cold and harsh, like looking at the relatives who came to his house to eat and complain about bad things, "Also, is Harry in danger?" ”

"There is danger in life, Severus. Dead may not be absent. ”

During the time when Snape was engaged in psychological struggle, Dumbledore finally swallowed the candy in his mouth.

"The plan is even more so, Mr. Potter will be in danger," Dumbledore saw the clenched fist under the wide sleeve, and he wasn't particularly sure if there was a wand in it, and if there would be a green light coming out of the tip of the wand, "but these will be under control." ”

The look on Snape's face softened.

Then he saw Dumbledore's strange eyes.

He understood instantly, then snorted coldly and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to protect Lily's eyes." ”

The implication is that if it weren't for those eyeballs, he probably wouldn't have cared about this.

How much is true and how false is this, except for himself, probably no one can tell.

Maybe he couldn't tell it himself.

However, this performance still made Dumbledore swallow the phrase 'go according to the original plan' into his stomach.

Although the sudden arrival of Luke Gaunt disrupted many of his plans. But at this time, Harry was equivalent to having double insurance. He knew what Luke was planning. But as long as it didn't get in the way of his plans, and the purpose was in line with what he wanted, he wouldn't mind helping Luke. In fact, he has already helped Luke in some small things.

It's hard to say if Harry is still useful to him now, but it is likely to be useful to Luke. In other words, Harry is a good use for everyone who wants to make a career.

It's like the jade seal that is written in the Oriental legend 'Ordered by Heaven'.

"Anyway, don't get too nervous, Severus. So far, it's all in my expectation. If no new spoiler emerges. ”

Dumbledore said to Snape seriously.

Snape's heart, which had been put down, involuntarily lifted up again.

"A new spoiler?"

Snape asked, curiously.

"Will there be a new spoiler between you and his fight?"

A man who is called the 'White Lord' by conspiracy theorists and a second-generation Dark Lord who is dead but not stiff, how can anyone still participate in this, or even stir up the situation?

Do you feel like you're living too long? Snape, who thinks highly of himself, must also admit that he is just a pawn on the chessboard. Even Voldemort, who is now so weak that he doesn't even have a body, doesn't see him as a person of the same level.

In Voldemort's eyes, he was afraid that he was still a slave.

"Of course, you don't think that there are only two magical societies in this world, the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters......"

Dumbledore thought about the current situation, but decided to remind his best spies, after all, although he didn't think that the person in front of him would die a good death in the first place. But if he is really allowed to continue to fight against Luke, maybe he will get his lunch box early.

You can't expect Luke to endure under his own oppression.

When the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and the more he takes a step back, the more he loses, it will be difficult for things to be under his control.

"For example, the aristocratic groups that have fallen silent. The reason why Voldemort was supported by a large number of pure-blood nobles and even a large number of twenty-eight families back then. The biggest reason is that he himself has the blood of the Gaunt family. ”

It's no secret, and Snape knows it, much like Lord Voldemort, and the Prince family is also a long-standing family in the wizarding world. Although not as illustrious as Gaunt, it is also famous enough.

Although such a person will still be looked down upon by them in front of the pure-blood nobles, if they rise, it will not make them too hostile, and they can even gain their support.

But since Dumbledore has brought it up, it is certainly not simply about the noble group that has begun to show its decline.

Pureblood may still be the mainstream force now, but the leaders of pureblood, the nobility, are no longer as high as before.

Even Potions nerves like Snape know that some pure-blood families have to compromise for money. Although only a few.

"But now, a man with the pure blood of the Gunter family has appeared. The legacy of the Gaunt family will also really fall on his head, and perhaps now, the test of the precious 'legacy' on him has begun. ”

"Legacy?" Snape repeated the word, his tone full of confusion.

The inheritance is not unusual, and now any wizard in the wizarding world knows that the heir of the Gaunt family has inherited a large inheritance. It's a fortune that shakes the entire wizarding world.

"It's not money, it's a matter of aristocratic tradition." Dumbledore explained, "Most of them are based on hidden forces or low-key families. In those ancient times, they were loyal to someone in a certain family. And there is a lot of strength. ”

"And this kind of power will not be loyal to this family. If one of the successors in this family can conquer them, then they are willing to be his help. ”

Although Dumbledore's words were more complicated, a smart person like Snape naturally figured it out easily.

Actually, it's the same as the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.

If Dumbledore had a good enough descendant, the Order of the Phoenix would have helped him achieve his goals, or if he didn't respect him, or would have helped him achieve his goals.

In the same way, the descendants of Voldemort are the same.

"The Gaunt family has such a legacy?" Snape asked. Although this is the question, what he means is, how do you know that someone has an inheritance?

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if such a legacy exists. But I think that if I had a similar experience when I was younger, then the Gaunt family, and even other families, may not have it. ”

Snape was silent for a moment, then said, "I've never heard anything like it on 'him'. ”

This made him wonder if he was not as trusted by Voldemort as he imagined.

Dumbledore looked at him with caring eyes and said, "He's not a pureblood. ”

Although he knew that Dumbledore was talking about Voldemort, for some reason, Snape still felt that he was even mocking himself.

So he twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't speak again.

You pure-bloods, you hate!

Dumbledore smiled lightly and said, "So, with such a help, Luke may not be able to become a person who can influence the situation." ”

"Whether you're doing it for Mr. Potter, or for yourself, Luke isn't a bad investor."

"Please call him by name. Thank you. ”

Snape had heard enough of the bird's surname.

Dumbledore smiled a little more happily.

"And I don't need you to remind you that my relationship with Gaunt is not as bad as you think."

Snape was haughty and even a little unkind. But the word stupid has nothing to do with him. The feeling Luke gives him gives him a sense of déjà vu a lot of the time.

At first, he thought it was from Voldemort.

But later, he discovers that Luke and Voldemort are different. Luke's goal was unclear, but it was clearly not Voldemort's narrowness to be called idealistic.

And Luke's affection is not difficult to see. Of course, this kind of affection is only limited to those who really enter his heart.

So far, Snape has only found one.

Taylor Barbara.

Snape didn't know why. There may be a reason for the looks, but it's definitely not the whole story.

But he didn't need to know, just be sure of the news. And judging by Luke's performance after teaching Taylor with his heart. This news of his own is not wrong.

That's why he has been teaching Taylor with all his heart and strength for so long.

No one really thinks Snape would be interested in a highly gifted student. If this student's name is Lily or the surname is Yin Wansi, maybe there will be a chance.

Of course, after teaching for a long time, he liked Taylor as a student. The key is to know when to say something.

Dumbledore nodded, it would be best, at least he wouldn't have to worry too much about this.

"I'm not sure if the heritage exists or not. But it is better to assume that it exists. Therefore, the things in front of you and the various situations are likely to be more complicated. ”

Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh when he said this. Compared with the previous two-sided struggle, the current situation is likely to become a three-sided, or even more open, and covert struggle.

Can't you be considerate and considerate of an old man?

At his age, under normal circumstances, he should already be teasing his grandson and enjoying his old age. But now he still has to worry about the overall situation of the wizarding world.

At the very least, he had to cultivate someone who was famous enough, or strong enough to maintain order.

Of course, the milder the means of maintaining order, the better.

Just when both of them fell silent, an angry roar suddenly came from the outside world. And it's clearly not a human voice.

The two men got up almost at the same time. Snape looked at the door in surprise, then at Dumbledore, who was equally surprised.

"Looks like something has happened."

Snape said.

Dumbledore had come back to his senses at this time, and his surprise had turned into a light smile: "It seems that my estimate is not wrong." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Snape, "Severus, maybe our plans are going to change a little. ”

Snape gave him a cold look, "I'll do what I have to do." ”

With that, Snape drew his wand, clutched it in his hand, and prepared himself for battle, and strode out of the door of the headmaster's office, walking in the direction of the sound.

Now all he had to do was get rid of that damn beast.

It or they should be good potion material.

Dumbledore sat in his place, a calm smile on his face was put away, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he shook his head helplessly.

……

Ten minutes ago

Quirrell, as usual, makes his rounds around the castle.

Actually, it's not the same as usual. Because at least one professor had to patrol the castle every night, there was no need to control the behavior of the students—of course, no one minded—only to guard against an attack.

He wasn't supposed to be on duty today. It was supposed to be Professor Trelawney on duty today. But because she wanted to drink, she switched classes with Professor Quirrell, who seemed to be the best bully.

Professor Quirrell seemed reluctant, but he reluctantly accepted.

This, of course, is what is seen from Professor Trelawney's perspective.

From Quirrell's point of view, this is simply a blessing from heaven. If Trelawney doesn't take the initiative to change him, then I'm afraid he will have to find a reason to change the shift with Trelawney.

But in such a festival, to take the initiative to find someone to change shifts, no matter how legitimate the reason is, is somewhat deliberate.

Fortunately, it was Trelawney, this drunkard didn't want to let go of this opportunity to drink for free in the open, so he naturally didn't want to let it go.

Everything is so natural.

"Hurry up, hurry up and open the things."

At the end of the day, Voldemort's voice in his head seemed to be calmer and calmer. Voldemort himself was not an idiot, perhaps because of some special magic, his temperament changed drastically after his appearance changed drastically.

Or maybe when his strength reached that level, he naturally entered a state of no one in his eyes.

But now, perhaps under the pressure of survival, his arrogance has subsided a lot. He was even able to tolerate Quirrell's offense to him to some extent.

It's incredible!

Quirrell didn't get an inch either, because he tried.

Judging by his current movements, it is clear that the results of the attempt are not good.

Giving you a face is giving you a face, and kicking your nose on your face is your fault.

Quirrell took a deep breath before making his way to the utility room, then opened the door a little nervously.

I don't know why, he always feels that in the door in front of him, what greets him is definitely not just the box they expected.

Push the door in, and the utility room is still like that, messy.

Despite the help of the elves, the castle is still too large after all. So much so that this kind of untidy utility room, or inconspicuous sanitary dead ends, exists. There are even quite a few.

This is not unexpected.

As he walked on, Quirrell hid the box in a corner of the utility room and covered it with a number of miscellaneous items.

But because there were too many clutter, too messy, and too rushed, he didn't remember exactly how many things he had put on the box.

But even so, he still felt that the black rag next to the box was a little strange.

He didn't seem to have seen it, but when he walked that way, he always instinctively felt bad.

After thinking about it, he took out his wand from his waist and waved it, so that all the clutter on the box was removed.

Then he saw that the box was still there, but ...... It seems to have cracked a crack in its shell.

The rags that had been in his peripheral light suddenly burst out, and a high-pitched, piercing cry rang out, making him a little dizzy.

At the same time, the box, which was originally just cracked, exploded completely!

What followed was two roars of filial piety full of ferocity!
