Speaking of which, Lockhart actually had the best relationship with Snape of all the members of the Order of the Phoenix. This is not difficult to explain, because Lockhart knows that Snape is a "good guy", so Lockhart trusts him. This trust was very different from the others: Dumbledore trusted him because of his unbreakable oath, others trusted Dumbledore because he trusted Snape, and only Lockhart trusted him unconditionally.

Snape was a very sensitive man, and of course he felt that trust, and he reciprocated to Lockhart the same trust and friendship, even if it was barely felt by Lockhart.

"So, what can we do for you?" asked Snape as Lockhart sat down.

"Severus, Gildero," Narcissa said, trembling, she had been waiting for an opportunity to see both Snape and Lockhart at the same time, but Lockhart had gone on a trip, and she had spent the summer in fear and worry. "I need your help now, can I trust you?"

Lockhart glanced at Snape in disbelief and saw him nod his head to him quietly. Lockhart was relieved, it seemed that Narcissa didn't know that she was a Order of the Phoenix, she just saw him as a lifesaver to grasp.

Coffee was served, and Lockhart took a sip, "Is there anything I can do to help, Narcissa, as long as it's not too embarrassing for me......"

Narcissa shuddered and took a sip of her coffee, "You'll keep it a secret for me, right, Gidero." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in her heart, and choked again.

"He would, Gilderoy is a very reliable man. Snape's thin lips pursed, as if he disdained to say good things for others, and as if he didn't believe what he said. "But you can't force him to make an unbreakable vow, you can only choose to trust him. ”

Narcissa took a second sip of her coffee and was ruthless, after all, even if Lockhart said it, the worst result would be that Draco was arrested: "Severus, Gildero, I'm sorry, this is a very important thing, I really can't think of anyone else who can help me, you are the only people I know, you are at Hogwarts all day." ”

Snape held up a hand to stop her, then pointed his wand at the Muggle in the coffee shop, and the man fell to the ground, and with another wave of his wand, the door of the coffee shop was shut.

Narcissa shuddered and took a deep breath and began to speak again. "Severus, I know whether I should say it or not, I was told that I can't say it to anyone, but—"

Narcissa let out a slight sound, like a tearless sob, and covered her face with her hand.

Snape placed the cup on the table and leaned back in his chair, "If that guy doesn't let you tell, then we'll pay the bill and leave, won't we?"

Narcissa paused, her chest heaving violently, her cheeks flushed. Lockhart could see that this once beautiful woman, for the sake of her son, looked twenty years older, and her gray hair came out.

"I don't have a choice right now, Severus. I-I think only you and Gildelow can help me, I'm desperate right now. Lucius is in prison, and ......"

She closed her eyes, and two large tears oozed from under her eyelids.

"The Dark Lord won't let me talk about it," Narcissa continued, eyes still closed, "he doesn't want anyone to know about that plan. Is that...... Very confidential. But—"

She suddenly seemed to have made up her mind: "Gildero, yes, our family is all Death Eaters, you should be able to guess it." ”

Lockhart feigned panic, "If I'm not mistaken, Severus, you're a Death Eater too!

"Of course. You don't have to be nervous, Gildero, we won't hurt you. But we need to hear what Narcissa needs us to do her. "What help do you need, Narcissa?" said Snape, "If you fantasize that I can convince the Dark Lord to change his mind, or if you think Gilderoy can kill the Dark Lord or Dumbledore, I'm afraid there is no hope, no hope at all." ”

"Severus," Narcissa said, tears rolling down her pale cheeks, "you know the plan, do you?" ”

"That's right, in fact I knew before you, and now you have to think about whether to sue Sù Gildero. ”

"What plan?!" Lockhart looked even more frightened, "Is it the plan that the mysterious man asked you to complete? What does this have to do with me!"

"My son, your student, Draco Malfoy, the Dark Lord told him to assassinate Dumbledore!" Narcissa said almost screaming.

Lockhart jumped to his feet, startling Snape next to him. "What, assassinate Dumbledore? that's impossible, no one knows Dumbledore's horrors better than us professors!"

You're exaggerating that, isn't it, Severus looked at Lockhart with disgust.

"But he's chosen Draco, Gildero, no!" Narcissa grabbed Lockhart, who was about to leave, and burst into tears, "You have to help me, Gildero, please!"

"I can't help you, ten Gilderoy Lockharts aren't Dumbledore's opponents!" Lockhart shook off her hand, "And my professor is so good, why do such a thing." ”

"Of course it can't be successful, I'm not asking you to help Draco assassinate Dumbledore, I'm just asking you to ...... Protect Draco, it's best to put it off until the end...... But it can't be, oh...... What should I do? Not even the Dark Lord himself...... He's just trying to punish Lucius!"

"Lucius didn't get his own business done, and he almost put the Dark Lord in it," Snape said dryly, "I can't pretend that the Dark Lord isn't mad at Lucius. But the Dark Lord was angry, Narcissa, very angry indeed. ”

After listening to Snape's words, Narcissa seemed to have lost the last bit of self-control. He slumped from his chair to the floor: "You can do it." Draco can't do it, you can, Severus. You will succeed, you will succeed, and he will reward you more than all of us—"

Snape didn't answer Narcissa, but drew his wand and pointed at Lockhart, "I'm sorry, Gildero, I have to take back what I just said. If you know about such a big thing, you can either be defeated by us and have your memories erased, or you will make an unbreakable oath that you will not leak it," Snape paused, "and will do his best to help me assassinate Dumbledore." ”

"Severus - oh, Severus - will you help him, will you take care of him, make sure he is safe and sound, and assassinate Dumbledore?"

"I can give it a try. Snape was silent.

She threw away the cup with a flick of her hand, and it slid to the other end of the table. She got up, grabbed Snape's wandless hand with both hands, pressed her lips to it, and then grabbed Lockhart's hand again, looking at him expectantly.

How did it get to me?, Lockhart was genuinely stunned this time, and he looked at Snape questioningly, but Snape pointed his wand at him with a blank expression.

"Well, I promised......" Lockhart said dryly.
