He's in the dust.

Godric's frames are bleached several shades of color.

In the principal's office.

Snape and Harry were there, and they watched as Dumbledore poured himself a full glass of honey water, drank it again, and exhaled comfortably: "Harry, Severus, I've been so wronged as an old man during this time. ”

"Aside from the three broomsticks and the Leaky Cauldron Bar, none of the taverns out there have pure honey water."

"They are all cheating, the honey water that I brought to this old man, is a little honey, mixed with a whole cup of warm water, oh my God, can that thing be called honey water?"

Harry looked at him coldly, "Have you ever thought that that kind of honey water is normal? ”

"Like you, it's not normal to drink a whole glass of honey with a little water."

"Hermione has said more than once that it's incredible that your teeth are still alive and well."

Snape scoffed, "Potter, you didn't see him begging me for potions when he had a toothache. ”

"Poor Baba, it's unimaginable."

Dumbledore let out a breath and looked at Snape, "Severus, Voldemort's side?" ”

Snape's face was gloomy, and he hugged his arm: "It's very peaceful. ”

"Hardly anything other than revenge on some of the people he said were friends and are not friends now."

"He's alone every day."

"I was only allowed into the bedroom when he called him to treat him, but I couldn't see anything, he became more careful, more cautious, and almost no one could have his complete trust."

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully: "What about Horcruxes, he doesn't have any ideas?" ”

Snape shook his head, "No." ”

"I've heard him talk about Horcruxes, maybe Barty Crouch Jr. knows where the other Horcruxes are, but he hasn't said them to anyone but him."

At this, Snape paused.

"Barty Crouch Jr. I've seen him, he's still alive."

"Just."

"It's a little different from the little Barty Crouch that I remember, he's becoming more and more like him now."

The latter one, no doubt, refers to "Lord Voldemort".

Dumbledore nodded the table, "Well, it seems that Voldemort is confident in his methods of hiding Horcruxes. ”

He paused, turned to look at Harry, and smiled, "Harry, you really always surprise me. ”

"Hogwarts."

"What a great word, I went to the hall to see the school emblem when I came back, it's really beautiful."

Harry waved his hand, "Get down to business." ”

"During your time at Hogwarts, Godric and I weren't exactly going on trips." Dumbledore continued, "The person in the world who knows Tom best, apart from himself, is probably me, and I have been looking back and forth in the orphanage where he used to stay in London, and the little Hangeldon all this time. ”

"You know."

"Voldemort is very old, he is in his seventies."

"Even if the traces of the past are not hidden, it is almost impossible to leave any clues, not to mention that he has deliberately covered up his past."

"But I don't have to worry about Hogwarts, it's very relaxing, I don't have to be so impatient, I can look slowly, and I really found something."

"I might find another Horcrux of his."

Another Horcrux?

Harry and Snape looked dangerously in their eyes, and they looked at Dumbledore together.

"It seems that you haven't wasted your life in vain." Snape sneered, "Where?" ”

"A place far from Hogwarts." Dumbledore shook his head, "That's an unthinkable location. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Tom's life was so barren that there weren't many memories that he could value, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time finding it for a while."

Snape tilted his head, he was traumatized inside, in a way, he Tom Riddle was no different, his life was barren, barren enough to write all their happiness on a single page, and even more than half of the blank rich.

"By the sea, Margate."

Dumbledore poured himself another glass of honey water.

"It's one of the few memories of Tom's childhood that can be called fond." Speaking of this, Dumbledore sighed, "Their orphanage was taken on a trip to the seaside, and Tom seemed to have a particularly deep impression of the place he had only visited once, and he hid a Horcrux there. ”

"But I have to admire his ingenuity and ideas."

"I went in, but unfortunately one person couldn't get the Horcrux, I need help."

Harry nodded, "I'll go with you, and Professor Snape will go to complain?" ”

Snape's face became even more unnatural.

Dumbledore smiled, "Of course, Severus, this matter will be wronged by you. ”

"Aha, be loyal to my great master, how can I be wronged in this matter." Snape stood up, grimacing, "Borrow your fireplace?" ”

Dumbledore tilted his head: "You can try that fireplace from the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I remember the Ministry of Magic hasn't taken back permission from that fireplace." ”

Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor

Snape was stunned, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Damn it.

Dealing with Sirius Black again?

This made him feel broken by Dumbledore, and he stabbed him again, took a deep breath, and slammed the door to leave.

"Shall we leave now?" Harry also stood up and extended an invitation to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore shook his head and shook the glass in his hand, "No hurry, let me rest for a while, I'm still in London this morning until the morning." ”

"He was very interested in the movie and went to see one." Godric's portrait flew over and muttered dissatisfiedly, "But he doesn't seem to know how to get along with the No-Maj, won't pay, won't take tickets, and finally snuck in with me with the Illusion Charm, and even broke my frame." ”

Harry looked at him with a blank expression.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, "Yesterday."

"Yesterday he went on a trip to Amsterdam and flew kites all day." Godric continued to dismantle him.

Dumbledore put the cup down, thought carefully about his itinerary in the past few days, and was a little helpless: "Okay, okay, let me rest for a while, the old man doesn't have so much energy, at least wait for Snape to pass the news to Tom." ”

Outside Malfoy Manor, Snape expertly opened the manor barrier and strode in.

He had just entered the house.

He was stopped by Bellatrix, who was guarding the living room.

"Severus, why are you here?" She was a little surprised, Snape almost never showed up outside of weekends, but today was not the weekend.

Snape frowned, "Very important, I want to see my master." ”

"Oh?" Bellatrix, "What's the matter." ”

"You're not qualified to know." Snape strode toward his bedroom.

Bellatrix squinted at him.

In front of the bedroom door, Snape took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

A moment later.

The door was pulled open.

Snape walked in respectfully, with his head bowed.

"My dear friend, Severus, why are you here today?" Voldemort looked at him in a pleasant tone, "What's the matter?" I heard you downstairs. ”

Snape didn't look up: "Master, Dumbledore."

"Don't do that, look up and watch me talk." Voldemort beckoned.

Snape looked up.

He finally saw a different bedroom, and when he came, there would only be that pool and a big bed in the bedroom.

But now, the bedroom is filled with all kinds of shocking dark magic books, scattered on the paper, full of all kinds of intricate and sharp spells, and some hideous and terrifying human modification drawings.

The two of them looked at each other.

Snape spoke calmly, "Dumbledore, he found one of your Horcruxes, and he wants to take Potter with him to find him." ”

"Horcruxes?" Voldemort's face changed slightly, "Which one?" ”

Snape replied, "A cave by the sea of Margate." ”

Voldemort nodded, suddenly relaxed, and the smile returned to his face: "It turned out to be that." ”

"Dumbledore is great."

"I'm afraid all traces of magic will not escape his eyes."

Snape didn't speak.

Voldemort beckoned to him, Snape walked in, and the two men kept looking at each other, "So, why did Dumbledore tell you this?" ”

"He still trusts you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Snape's severed arm.

This is the mark.

"No one knows what Dumbledore is thinking." Snape's face was expressionless, "It's just that he was not badly wounded, and there was a scar on his arm, and when he came back, he was delirious, dazed, and frightened." ”

Voldemort smirked, "It's a shame I can't see it with my own eyes." ”

"Severus, do you mind if I use your brain?"

Snape immediately knelt down and bowed his head.

Voldemort drew his wand, held it to the top of his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a few moments, Voldemort released his wand and smiled even more proudly: "What a pleasure! ”

"Is Professor Dumbledore so old?"

Snape stood up and made eye contact with him again.

"Severus, you're loyal." Voldemort praised him, "Keep an eye on them. ”

Snape was stunned, a little unsure of what Voldemort meant.

This.

Seems to be too indifferent to your Horcruxes?

"I've personally examined all my Horcruxes." Voldemort spoke softly, "Every single one has been checked, so my dear Severus, what Dumbledore is doing now is within my expectations." ”

"Don't worry, you'll soon know why."

Snape nodded.

Voldemort sighed, looked away, looked through the window, and looked at the dark dome: "Severus, can I really trust you?" ”

Snape did not hesitate: "Of course, master, you can trust me completely, I am your most loyal servant." ”

"Well, I can give you a task." Voldemort turned, his dark eyes glowing with a hint of scarlet blood, "Help me find a way to kill Dumbledore, okay?" ”

And in the evening!
