"Love is a mysterious force. It is majestic and powerful and contains all things in the world. For Muggles, it is a necessary existence to promote social development; for us wizards, it is an eternal pursuit and truth."
Dumbledore said leisurely, but Marca was confused.
"It's a little difficult to understand? It doesn't matter. I've spent my whole life to feel the essence of some 'love', and it only belongs to me... There are countless ways to explore magic. What you and I choose are two completely different journeys. Let's experience it with my own life!"
"Maybe Tom's child can't understand - he's never tried to understand 'love' and always thinks it's the most useless thing in the world."
"But you are different, Marca. I have great confidence in you..."
"I remember that you should have been to the mystery Department of the Ministry of magic... There is a room there that has been locked all the time. If you still have a chance, remember to go and have a look. I believe you will get some enlightenment of your own."
When Maka heard the speech, she couldn't help thinking about it, and immediately remembered the first one he touched in the twelve black doors. Behind the black door locked by powerful magic, there was a strange energy he didn't understand.
While Marca was thinking, Dumbledore gently raised his eyebrow.
"Oh, time is running out..." he closed his eyes and felt it for a while, and then continued, "well, as I just said, I brought you here this time to let you 'have a look' - maybe you will want to look for this place in the future, so I think it might be better to let you have a look first."
As Dumbledore spoke, he reached out and waved his sleeve. Suddenly, the surrounding streets suddenly turned into a large fog and dissipated silently.
He showed Marca the dreamy fog and carefully explained:
"This is a mysterious energy projected by all the spirits in the world. It is one of the magic mysteries I have been exploring and pursuing. It is my 'truth'."
At this point, Dumbledore waved again, and the fog condensed into the streets and houses just now.
"Material promotes appearance and spiritual deduction rules" -- remember the question of the bronze eagle of roina? What you see now is the practical application of the 'spiritual deduction rules' in this theory. "
"But the 'spirit' is not always positive, and so are the rules." Dumbledore solemnly said, "the reason why I abandoned my body and took the initiative to come here is to explore what the complete 'spirit' is..."
Dumbledore looked at the world in front of him and asked and answered himself.
"If 'love' is the positive energy projected by the spirit, what about the negative energy?"
"I tried to find the answer from my old friend greenward, but when fashion was still obsessed with 'power', I couldn't find the answer immediately. But later, I understood in Tom's child!" he turned his head and seemed to be looking at Marca. "The negative energy projected by that spirit is called 'sin'!"
When Dumbledore said the word "sin", makaden, who was listening to him, was stunned. But just then, Dumbledore's figure was blurred and his voice was rapidly away.
"... child, remember that... 'love' and 'sin' are not contrary... The two are balanced and complementary... They are a whole..."
"... continue along the... Road... I'll see you again..."
In the principal's room, Maka suddenly raised her head from the meditation basin and took a heavy breath.
He stared at the mirror on the inner wall of the cabinet. In the mirror, his face was a little pale. Somehow, he felt that he had a sense of detachment, but the magic in his body was not consumed at all.
"It's the soul... No, mental fatigue?" Marca shook her head, dragged her heavy steps to the sofa chair by the window and sat down heavily.
"Although I heard it vaguely, I understand one thing -" he muttered to himself. "If my exploration direction is the tangible rules at the material level, Dumbledore's should be the intangible rules at the non-material level?"
"Not to mention those half understood words, at least the last sentence... It really makes people care!"
I took a break in the principal's room and looked at the time, but I found that it didn't last long. Maka got up again, rubbed her face and walked to the basement.
If nothing happens, Snape should still be waiting for him in the office!
"Well... But then again, is Dumbledore 'dead'?" all the way, he was struggling with this question, "should... Not?"
……
"Benedictine Benedictine"
After knocking on the door of Snape's office, there was a cold response soon. Maka shrugged, opened the door and went in.
"Sit down."
Snape said casually, turned from his potion cabinet, and sat behind his desk.
"Professor?"
Seeing that Snape sat down and fell into silence, Maka had to call him.
"Well," Snape turned to Marca, "Dumbledore is dead, so what are your plans next?"
Originally, Marca thought Snape had asked him to come. Maybe she had something to explain. But who knows, Snape first asked himself what his plans were.
He thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Continue to do what you should do! Voldemort's ultimate goal has always been Hogwarts, and for me, if I want to protect important people, I must protect Hogwarts..."
"In any case, his interests and mine are in complete conflict, aren't they?"
Snape frowned, and there was a trace of boredom on his face.
"Really?" he said impatiently. "In that case, wouldn't it be good for you to take your little girlfriend away? That guy doesn't have to take the life of the Lovegood girl."
Maka looked at Snape somewhat unexpectedly and said strangely, "Professor, are you..."
"I'll take Potter," snape said flatly. "That man is no longer attached to the original prediction, that is, Lily's son is no longer so important in his heart."
"... you too. Take your little girlfriend and go far. Isn't everything solved?"
Snape seemed to waver as he said these words.
Marca is not sure how Snape made the decision. Perhaps it was the conversation that night that made him think so.
"... because of Miss TIA?" Marca almost blurted out.
Snape did not answer, but the confusion in his heart made him forget to maintain his master brain closure. In his dark and deep eyes, a trembling quietly penetrated.
"Professor, have you... Have you talked to miss TIA?" Marca asked hurriedly, "what's the situation? Is Miss TIA --"
Snape supported his upper body with his elbows, folded his hands around his mouth, and dropped his eyelids without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, he sighed heavily.
"I asked her a question -" snape murmured. "I asked her last name, and then she told me... Her last name was Prince."
"Prince? Isn't that --"
"Yes, my mother's old last name was Prince - Irene prince." snape said dully, "I don't understand why I have a sister. I don't understand!"
"So, are you going to find the answer? Take Harry with you?" Marca said suddenly.
"I don't want to take him, not at all!" snape patted the table angrily. "But I can't... every time I see his eyes, I remember - he's Lily's child!"
"Er, Professor..." Marca said helplessly, "I didn't say... If you want to take Harry away, Harry, he won't want to?"
As soon as Marca said this, Snape's face became darker. He tightly pursed his thin lips, and his contradictory mood almost made him want to burst out.
After holding it for a while, he shook his head.
"Then I'll take him too!" snape frowned. "I can't let him stay here - it's the best decision, for him and for me!"
"Don't you have any nostalgia for Hogwarts?" Marca couldn't help asking. "You know, Voldemort has been staring at this school all the time! Maybe he will attack --"
"What else do I need to worry about with you?" snape calmed down. He looked at Marka for a moment. "Will you make that guy do it easily?"
Maka was embarrassed by this - he could easily laugh at anyone's praise, but when Snape praised himself so frankly, he really didn't know how to respond.
"Professor... Thank you for your trust first, but what should I say..." Maka sorted out her thoughts and continued, "to tell you the truth, the order of the Phoenix is actually quite understaffed. I deeply feel this through recent actions..."
"Although we have not lacked wizards to perform ordinary tasks, there are too few talents like you who always keep an overview of the overall situation in some key tasks."
"Now Moody's is still missing, and there has been no harvest in his search operation; and Kingsley has just recovered some, so he can't go back to the execution sequence immediately..."
Speaking of this, Maka said sincerely, "Professor Snape, we really need you now - of course, you can go and explore her life experience with Miss TIA first, but I certainly hope you can come back!"
"I hope you can think about it again, professor. How about it?"
