Chapter 1325 Solution
Listening to the latest news reported by the wizard in the portrait, the principal's office once again fell into a deathly silence.
The portraits all looked at Snape, feeling a little sympathetic to the new headmaster and wondering how he would handle this matter.
They didn't forget that Snape had promised Dumbledore that he would do everything in his power to protect the safety of Hogwarts students.
Now is the time for him to fulfill his promise.
Snape didn't pay attention to the strange gazes of the portraits, and turned his head to stare at the sleeping old man in the portrait hanging behind the desk.
“Things are often unexpected.”
Dumbledore seemed to sense Snape's compelling gaze, and he opened his eyes and woke up from his doze.
"It's really unexpected." Snape said with a gloomy face, "I don't think it will take long for Hogwarts to be turned upside down by them."
"The situation is not as bad as you think." Dumbledore said in relief.
"No, the situation is very bad." The muscles on Snape's face twitched violently twice, "If they really set up some kind of Dumbledore's Army, with the secrecy level of those brats, it won't be long before the entire Hogwarts Everyone will know about it. At that time, don't expect this matter to end smoothly. "
"Neither Carlo nor Parkinson are good. Especially Carlo, ever since Amycus Carlo was killed by Anderson through Scrimgeour, she hated Anderson and his Defense Association extremely, How do you think she'll handle it when she finds out about those students forming Dumbledore's Army?"
It's no wonder Snape was so annoyed, these are a bunch of careless guys.
Whether it's Rubeus Hagrid, that big, rude and stupid guy, or Longbottom's group of brainless students, everyone is doing stupid things that they think are right, and they all need his help to wipe their asses.
Sometimes Snape even felt like a fool, being fooled around by the old guy in the frame in front of him.
Especially a while ago, after Dumbledore handed the Gryffindor sword to Potter, he realized that Hogwarts had already been riddled with holes and had become someone's back garden.
"By the way, you need to be careful recently, Harry seems to be following you." Dumbledore changed the subject.
"Focus on me?"
Snape narrowed his eyes and stared at Dumbledore's portrait, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "What does Potter want to do with me, kill me to avenge you?"
"Probably not."
"Then tell me why." Snape said coldly.
"The last time they came to Hogwarts, you happened to be away..."
"Should I be entitled to know?" Snape's tone was cold, and Dumbledore didn't seem to intend to tell him the reason.
"...Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be tricked, and Harry still pulled Albert." Dumbledore seemed to have not heard Snape's words, and said to himself, "You are not Anderson's opponent, that child is now... "
"So, I can't know the truth?" Snape stared at Dumbledore, his eyes blazing with anger.
"They want to be sure of one thing."
"What's up?"
"It's related to defeating the mysterious man."
"To defeat the Dark Lord, what do you want from me?"
Snape was even more annoyed, he hated half-talking bastards, and even more hated the bad feeling of being kept in the dark.
"They want to control you, use veritaserum on you, and dig out some useful information from your mouth." Dumbledore reminded.
"Then why didn't you remind Potter that he couldn't get useful information from me at all."
"I can't do that." Dumbledore said softly.
"What about Anderson? Don't tell me, he doesn't know anything." Snape glared at Dumbledore.
"He promised me that he would not take the initiative to trouble you."
"I don't think such a guarantee has any credibility."
"Are you afraid of him?" Dumbledore was a little surprised.
"There is no Death Eater who is not afraid of him." Snape said eccentrically, "You probably don't know that nearly half of the Death Eaters were indirectly killed by your good student."
"I think your evaluation is biased." Dumbledore slightly adjusted his eyebrows and said, "You can't pin everything on him."
"The Dark Lord regards him as his great enemy." Snape sneered, "I don't think there are many people who have such qualifications. For this reason, he even let go of the idea of killing Harry himself, which shows how much he really has." Be afraid of that guy."
Dumbledore just opened his mouth, but he heard Snape continue, "After Potter dies, that guy will probably kill the Dark Lord as you expected, and then you can get your wish."
"Really?" Dumbledore asked.
"of course it's true."
"No, I mean that Voldemort is no longer obsessed with killing Harry himself." Dumbledore's expression was extremely serious, and he knew exactly what this meant.
If Tom Riddle is no longer obsessed with killing Harry himself, but is ready to let others do it for him, Harry's situation will be worse than ever. In Dumbledore's view, Voldemort's threat to Harry, Not even as good as other Death Eaters.
"Is there a problem?" Snape also felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"Harry must be killed by the mysterious man himself." Dumbledore said seriously, "This is very important."
"Even if you tell me this, I can't do anything."
Snape also frowned. Although he didn't know why Dumbledore insisted on letting Voldemort kill Harry himself, there must be some reason.
It's just that after the Dark Lord no longer intends to kill Harry himself, he has nothing to do.
"It's not an order from me. I don't think I can change the Dark Lord's mind." Snape reminded, "You should know better than anyone else that both Carrow and Parkinson were sent by the Dark Lord." spy on me."
Although he is also the right-hand man of the Dark Lord, Snape is far inferior to Yaxley. Otherwise, when Thicknesses sent a bunch of Aurors to Hogwarts to arrest people, no one would have to tell him first. Down.
As a Death Eater, Snape could have ignored it, but Hogwarts belonged to him after all.
recklessly ran to the school to arrest people,
What's going on?
Even if the order to arrest Hagrid was to be issued, he should have communicated with Yaxley in advance, but this was not the case.
Speaking of it, that big guy was too stupid. He heard from other professors that Anderson had reminded him to leave Hogwarts a long time ago. As a result, not only did the guy not leave, but he was arrested not long after the start of school. Who can blame him for this, even if he wanted to Letting the water out to make Hagrid escape wouldn't do either.
"Perhaps, you should go to Anderson, he is a master of prophecy, maybe there is a way to make your plan go ahead." Snape didn't think he could persuade others to give up the honor of killing Potter.
"Albert is actually very dissatisfied with me." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Although we all want to defeat Voldemort, he doesn't really agree with my plan."
"That's really regrettable." Snape was very decisive, throwing all the questions directly at the other party, "Now I need your help. I don't think you want your supporters to be locked up, just now, I acceded to Filch's request to return to the old-fashioned form of punishment, and granted the Caning Writ."
"Then try to stop them, Albert, I will contact him and ask him to restrain the group of children." Dumbledore said something that made Snape dumbfounded, "When the time comes, you will turn a blind eye and close your eyes." That's it."
"You..." Snape couldn't speak, he took several deep breaths, "If that's the case, then please tell me how to solve these **** problems."
"Severus, I'm dead." Dumbledore reminded.
"Don't forget, you asked me to protect Hogwarts students."
"Yes, you haven't forgotten, which is very gratifying to me." Dumbledore was satisfied that Snape continued to abide by the agreement between the two parties.
"Now I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, and I think it is your responsibility to help me manage Hogwarts well." Snape had already decided to leave those **** problems to Dumbledore, and he was in a bad mood. It got better all of a sudden.
"Dumbledore, we have an obligation to serve the current headmaster of Hogwarts!" Phineas reminded in a strange way.
