Dumbledore decided to let Harry join Slytherin anyway.

Of course, he joined as a Gryffindor.

However, the two houses were in no particular order, and Dumbledore would emphasize this in front of all the students.

He didn't want the students of the two houses to fight because of their parents' relationship, but because of the ranking of Harry's status.

As for Severus' emotional issues with Harry......

Dumbledore rubbed his forehead, looking at Snape, who was still in a trance, he had left behind, and Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.

"Severus, what do you think of Harry?"

"It's too similar, Albus, it's too similar." Snape said in a daze, and suddenly, his expression became irritable, and he yelled:

"James Potter! You'll never get into Slytherin! ”

Dumbledore pinched his eyebrows, pressed his right hand twice in the air, and said, "Calm down, Severus, calm down." ”

"You remember one thing, Lily is no longer alive, Harry is not Lily, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Snape straightened his hair, then put his hand in front of his eyes and frowned deeply.

It's so oily, how long has it been since I washed my hair?

Snape suddenly felt a deep disgust with his former self.

It was because he didn't wash his hair that Harry saw a fake Slytherin head after taking off his glasses.

A real Slytherin head, the appearance is quite neat and clean.

Snape decided to wash his hair once a day, morning and evening, starting today, and:

Every day, the wizard's robe should be cleaned and descaled.

The clothes inside the wizard's robes are to be changed and washed every day, preferably with laundry products dedicated to the Dursleys (the smell of his clothes is really good, Snape has secretly smelled it).

Every day, I buy a new pair of underwear, open the package, wash it again, and then bask it in plenty of sunlight for a day.

Sleeping on time every day, and preparing for Potions before going to bed (I heard that Harry had pre-studied the seventh-year Potions textbook, and how to get other students to tackle a certain assignment to give Snape time to Harry to start a small stove is indeed a problem).

……

"Severus, Severus?"

"What's wrong? Dumbledore. Snape looked at the headmaster who interrupted his train of thought with some displeasure, "Is there anything else you can do?" ”

Dumbledore leaned back slightly, and he wanted to say:

Your smile is so easy to misunderstand.

It's as if you're about to climb a six-story apartment building from a drain just to peek at the goddess of crush doing her homework.

"Albus, do you think I need to lose weight?" Snape asked seriously, "I think Professor McGonagall is in good shape, which may be the reason why she is more popular with students." ”

To be honest, Snape felt that he was also the dean with a straight face all day, and the only thing he could compare to the other party was Transfiguration and his figure.

As for the problem of untidy appearance, it was selectively ignored by Snape, who was ready to change.

"Oh my God." Dumbledore clutched his head in disbelief.

He now wanted to deal with something about Voldemort's cholera wizarding world more than to help a middle-aged veteran who had returned to his teens solve his mental problems!

Fortunately, Fox saved him.

The shrunken phoenix flew to Dumbledore's desk and gently pecked the back of his hand with its beak.

"Great, Severus."

"Do you think of another reason?"

"Nope." Dumbledore pulled his face, "The resurrected mystery man is here." ”

Snape's pupils subconsciously shrank, and his wand was already in his hand, "Are you going to kill him here?" Dumbledore! ”

Snape's eyes burned with fire, he looked like a bat dad who was ready to fight a python for the sake of a newborn little bat!

"Even if it were to cost me my life, I would create an opportunity for you to kill him, Dumbledore!"

"Don't do that, Severus." Dumbledore grabbed Snape.

Ever since Harry took off his glasses, Dumbledore felt like a different person for Snape.

He couldn't guess Snape's mind at all now.

"We've agreed to trap him at Hogwarts with his position as a teacher—"

"No, I changed my mind." Snape interrupted Dumbledore, "How can such a dangerous person be a teacher at Hogwarts!" ”

"What's more, you're going to have him teach Defense Against the Dark Arts course, which would allow him to spread his dangerous ideas and dark arts without any scruples!"

"Severus, this is for Harry's sake."

"Huh?" Snape looked at Dumbledore suspiciously and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that he had regained control of Snape's mind, "Harry is a half-blood wizard. ”

"When it comes to maintaining the conflict between pure-bloods and half-bloods in first-year students, it's never the students inside the school who affect Harry's safety, it's the forces outside the school."

"The Mysteries are a bigger threat to Harry outside of school!" Snape came to a conclusion, then looked at Dumbledore with some agreement, and said:

"You're right, Dumbledore. But why not kill him here? ”

Dumbledore rolled his eyes and continued to explain, "There's news from Azkaban that the mysterious man has killed some of the prisoners inside and rescued some of them. ”

"If the mystery man were to die at Hogwarts, it's hard to imagine what the prisoners hiding in the wizarding world would do!"

"Waste the Ministry of Magic!" Snape cursed hatefully, clutching his wand and pacing the headmaster's room hard, "He really can't die here." ”

Snape's IQ began to reoccupy the intracranial high ground, and he rationally analyzed:

"Many half-blood wizards who are eager to change their status now see the mystery man as a savior, especially the unscrupulous journalist Rita Skeeter, who is eager to lift the mystery man to the sky."

"If these people were led by those unscrupulous prisoners, they would surely assassinate you, and the members of Hogwarts, indiscriminately."

"Mystery people can't die, at least not at Hogwarts."

"And we're going to keep the image of him as safe and free at Hogwarts."

Dumbledore nodded in relief, this was the Severus Snape he knew.

"But, Dumbledore, how can you guarantee that the mystery man won't make a small move while teaching?"

"Harry was the first to defeat him, how can you guarantee that he won't hurt Harry?"

Dumbledore smiled, a smile in his hand, "I'll let you, Minerva, Lucius Malfoy, and Mr. Quirrell, who became a professor of Fantastic Beasts, sit in on the auditors." ”

"You and Minerva are responsible for ensuring the safety of the students, and Lucius is responsible for ensuring that he does not deliberately guide the students into conflicts."

"As for Professor Quirrell......" Dumbledore recalled, the gritted look on Quirrell's face when he promised him, and continued:

He vowed to keep an eye on the mystery's every move, and even during the holidays, he voluntarily gave up his rest time to join the ranks of spying on the mystery.

"I'm going to join the surveillance too, or else—" Snape gave a tough expression.

"You need to protect Harry in secret."

"No problem, Albus." Snape said with a smile on his face.

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and continued:

"Don't worry, I'll let the members of the Order of the Phoenix perform their surveillance duties."

"By the way, I'll let them spy on Professor Quirrell, and if he's a good fit, I'll let him join the Order of the Phoenix."

"Well, Professor Quirrell sacrificed a lot, and I can tell that he really enjoys Defence Against the Dark Arts class."

"However, in order to fight the mystery man, he gave up teaching and put himself in a dangerous situation."

"I feel very guilty."

"He's a great guy." Snape agreed.

At the same time, Snape had no objection to Dumbledore's arrangement.

Order of the Phoenix, this is an anti-mystic alliance led by Dumbledore, where everyone is on the opposite side of mysteries.

Whoever allied with the Mystic would not be able to, even if the Mystic changed his course.

Because they have a blood feud with the mysterious people.

From Dumbledore's assessment of Quirrell, it can be seen that the self-sacrificing professor should also have the potential to become a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Nope
