Chapter 103 Beast (5k)

"You are fooling around!"

Snape was no longer as calm and calm as usual.Instead, there was an angry almost distorted face and an uncontrollable growl.

He propped his hands on the table, leaned forward, and glared at the person across the table.

And what he glared at was the entire wizarding world, one of the greatest wizards, Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore sat in his seat, looked up at the oppressive Snape, his expression didn't change at all, just like Snape remembered, an almost superior indifference.

In the principal's office, the portraits of the previous principals were as silent as cicadas, as if they were portraits of the Muggle world, unable to see, speak or hear.

He's been talking for a long time.And Dumbledore, he just smiled.

"Sit down first, Severus, today is a good day. The candy I ordered has finally arrived. Do you want to try some?"

While talking, Dumbledore took out a large pile of candies from his drawer, and placed them on the table like a treasure, sharing with Snape the joy of getting his beloved.

While Snape was getting more annoyed, he also felt that his anger was unnecessary.

He looked at Dumbledore with an almost pained expression: "What the hell are you trying to do! Is it him? He's back? You still let him into the school? You know what it means to Harry ?!"

Dumbledore just tore off the skin coat of the villain candy, revealing the skeleton-shaped candy inside.

"I thought you were less concerned about Mr. Potter's situation."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed the not-so-small piece of candy into his mouth with obvious satisfaction on his face.

Looking at Dumbledore's picture of being indifferent, calling you what you want, I'll act like a big mess, Snape really felt that he couldn't get angry enough.

After all... Even if this is Professor McGonagall, if the fight between them reaches this level, it will be nothing more than a wizard duel at most.And if it was a student, Snape would directly teach him what it means to be excited.

But this is Dumbledore in front of him.Don't talk about giving him a big mouth, it's really annoying, he would be fine if he didn't give himself a big mouth.

What's more, Snape thought sadly: "Even if you really slap him, I'm afraid this old guy might not be furious."

In his perception, Dumbledore is not a heartless person.So I'm afraid he also feels guilty in his heart now.But because he feels that he is right, he will never stop his actions even if he feels guilty.

If you really slap him, it may not be a humiliation and torture to him, but it may make him release part of his guilt.

Of course, if Luke had been there, he might have looked at Dumbledore before telling Snape whether his guess was correct.

Too bad Luke wasn't there.

"At least tell me what exactly you want to do." Snape stared at the old man in front of him seriously, his tone was cold and harsh, like looking at a relative who came to his home and complained about bad things, " Also, is Harry in danger?"

"There is danger in life, Severus. Not necessarily in death."

During Snape's psychological struggle, Dumbledore finally swallowed the candy in his mouth.

"The plan is even more so. Mr. Potter will face danger," Dumbledore saw the clenched fist under the wide sleeve. As for whether there was a wand inside, and whether there would be a green light from the tip of the wand, he asked Not too sure, "but these will be within the controllable range."

The look on Snape's face softened.

Then he saw Dumbledore's strange eyes.

He understood instantly, then snorted coldly, and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just protecting Lily's eyes."

The implication is probably that if it wasn't for the pair of eyeballs, he probably wouldn't care about this crap.

How much of this statement is true and what is false, probably no one can tell except himself.

Maybe he couldn't tell himself.

However, such a performance still made Dumbledore swallow the phrase 'go according to the original plan' into his stomach.

Although the sudden arrival of Luke Gunter disrupted many of his plans.But at this time, Harry was equivalent to having double insurance.He knew Luke was planning something too.But as long as it doesn't interfere with his plan and the purpose is in line with his ideas, he doesn't mind helping Luke.In fact he's already helping Luke with little things.

Whether Harry is still useful to him is hard to say, but it is most likely useful to Luke.In other words, Harry is very useful for everyone who wants to achieve a career.

It's like the jade seal that reads "ordered by the sky" in the oriental legend.

"Anyway, don't be too nervous, Severus. So far, things are still in my plan. If there is no new spoiler."

Dumbledore said seriously to Snape.

Snape's heart, which had already been let down, lifted up again involuntarily.

"A new spoiler?"

Snape asked very strangely.

"Between your fight with him, will there be any new spoilers?"

A person who is called the 'White Demon King' by conspiracy theorists is fighting with a second-generation Dark Lord who is dead but not dead, and there are still people who will participate in this and even disrupt the situation?

Does it feel like you've lived too long?Snape, who thought highly of himself, had to admit that he was just a pawn on the chessboard.Even Voldemort, who is now so weak that he doesn't even have a body, doesn't see him as a person of the same level.

In Voldemort's eyes, I'm afraid he is still a slave.

"Of course, you don't think that there are only two magical associations in this world, the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters..."

Dumbledore thought about the current situation, and decided to remind his most useful spy, after all, although he never thought that the person in front of him would end well.But if he is really allowed to continue to fight against Luke, maybe he will get the lunch in advance.

You can't expect Luke to be patient all the time under his oppression.

When Ren thought about it for a while and became more and more angry, and when he took a step back and thought about it more and more losses, things were hard to be controlled by him.

"For example, the silent noble group. The reason why Voldemort won the support of a large number of pure-blood nobles, even a large number of 28 families. The biggest reason is that he himself has the blood of the Gaunt family."

It was no secret, and Snape knew it too. He was very similar to Voldemort in this regard, and the Prince family was also a family with a long tradition in the wizarding world.Although not as prominent as Gaunt, but also has enough fame.

Although such a person would still be looked down upon by pure-blooded nobles, if they rise up, they will not be too hostile, and they may even gain their support.

But since Dumbledore mentioned it, it must not be simply talking about the aristocratic group that has begun to show signs of decline.

Pure blood may still be the current mainstream force, but the leader among pure blood, the nobles, is no longer as high as before.

Even potions geeks like Snape knew that some pure-blood families had to make compromises because of money.Although only a few.

"But now, a bloodline of the pure Gaunt family has appeared. The legacy of the Gaunt family will also truly fall on his head. Perhaps now, the test of his precious 'inheritance' has already begun. "

"Inheritance?" Snape repeated the word, his tone full of doubts.

Inheritance is not unusual. Now any wizard in the wizarding world knows that the descendant of the Gaunt family has inherited a large amount of inheritance.This is a fortune enough to shake the entire wizarding world.

"It's not money, but a matter in the aristocratic tradition." Dumbledore explained, "Most of them are carried by hidden forces or low-key families. In that ancient era, they were loyal to a certain Someone in the family. And has a lot of strength."

"And this kind of force will not be loyal to this family. If a successor in this family can conquer them, then they are also willing to be his help."

Although what Dumbledore said was complicated, a smart person like Snape could easily figure it out.

In fact, it is still the same as the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.

If Dumbledore has a sufficiently outstanding descendant, even if the Order of the Phoenix does not respect him as the master, he will still help him, help him achieve his goal, or get out of the predicament.

The same goes for Voldemort's descendants.

"The Gaunts have such a legacy?" Snape asked.Although this is what he asked, what he meant was, how do you know that someone has an inheritance?

And Dumbledore shook his head and said: "I'm not sure if such a legacy exists. But I think, if I had a similar experience when I was young, then the Gaunt family, and even other families may not have it."

Snape was silent for a while, and then said: "I've never heard of anything like that with 'him'."

This made him wonder if he was not as trusted by Voldemort as he thought.

Dumbledore glanced at him with caring eyes, and said, "He's not pure blood."

Although he knew that Dumbledore was talking about Voldemort, but for some reason, Snape still felt that he was mocking himself.

So he twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't speak again.

You purebloods are disgusting!

Dumbledore smiled lightly and said: "So, with such help, Luke may not be able to become a person who can affect the situation."

"Whether you are for Mr. Potter or for yourself, Luke is not a very bad investment object."

"Please call his name. Thank you."

Snape had heard enough of the bird name 'Potter'.

Dumbledore smiled a little more.

"And you don't need to remind me that my relationship with Gunter is not as bad as you think."

Although Snape was arrogant, he was even a little unreasonable.But the word stupid didn't belong to him.The feeling Luke gave him made him have a sense of déjà vu many times.

At first he thought it was from Voldemort.

But later, he discovered that Luke was different from Voldemort.Although Luke's goal is not clear, it is obviously not something that is too narrow to be called ideal by Voldemort.

And Luke's affection is not difficult to see.Of course, this kind of friendship is limited to those who really walk into his heart.

So far, Snape has only found one.

Tyler Barbara.

Snape didn't know why.There may be some reasons for the appearance, but it is definitely not all.

But he doesn't need to know, as long as he confirms the news is enough.And judging from Luke's performance after he taught Taylor with his heart.There is nothing wrong with my own news.

That's why he has been teaching Taylor with all his heart and effort for so long.

No one really thought Snape would be interested in a highly gifted student.If the student's name was Lily or Evans, there might be a chance.

Of course, after teaching for a long time, he liked Taylor as a student.Clever, understand by analogy, the key is, know when to say something.

Dumbledore nodded, this is the best, at least he doesn't have to worry too much about the problem here.

"I'm not sure whether the legacy exists or not. But I would rather treat it as it exists. So, the things and various situations in front of me are likely to be more complicated."

When Dumbledore said this, he couldn't help but sigh.Compared with the previous two-party struggle, the current situation is likely to become a three-party or even more open and secret struggle.

Can't you be considerate of an old man?

At his age, under normal circumstances, he should already be pampering his grandchildren and enjoying the rest of his life.But now he has to worry about the overall situation of the wizarding world.

At the very least, he must cultivate a person who has enough reputation or strength to maintain order.

Of course, the gentler the means of maintaining order, the better.

Just when both of them fell silent, an angry roar suddenly came from the outside world.And it's clearly not a human voice.

The two got up almost at the same time.Snape first looked at the door in surprise, and then at Dumbledore who was also surprised.

"It seems that something happened."

said Snape.

Dumbledore had come to his senses at this time, and his surprise had turned into a smile: "It seems that my estimation is not wrong."

As he said that, he looked at Snape: "Severus, maybe our plan needs to be changed a little bit."

Snape gave him a cold look: "I will do what I have to do."

After finishing speaking, Snape drew out his wand, held it in his hand, and was ready to fight, then strode out of the door of the principal's office and walked towards the direction where the voice sounded.

What he should do now is to get rid of that damned beast.

It, or them, should be a good potion material.

And Dumbledore sat in his seat, put away the calm smile on his face, frowned slightly, and then shook his head helplessly.

……

10 minute ago

Quirrell was patrolling the castle as usual.

In fact, this is not the same as usual.Because there must be at least one professor patrolling the castle every night, there is no need to manage the behavior of the students-of course, no one cares if you do-but only need to guard against attacks.

He wasn't supposed to be on duty today.It should have been Professor Trelawney who was on duty today.But because she wanted to drink, she switched classes with Professor Quirrell, who seemed to be the most bully.

Although Professor Quirrell seemed reluctant, he accepted it helplessly.

Of course, this is the situation seen through Professor Trelawney's perspective.

From Quirrell's point of view, this is simply a blessing from heaven.If Trelawney doesn't take the initiative to ask him to change, then I'm afraid he will still find a reason to find Trelawney to change shifts.

But in such a festival, to take the initiative to find someone to change shifts, no matter how legitimate the reason is, it is somewhat deliberate.

Fortunately, it was Trelawney, the alcoholic who didn't want to let go of this fair and honest opportunity to drink a lot of wine for free, so naturally he didn't want to let it go.

Everything is so natural.

"Hurry up, quickly open the thing."

The voice of Voldemort in his head seemed to grow calmer as the matter came to an end.Voldemort himself is not a fool, perhaps because of some special magic, after the earth-shaking changes in his appearance, his temperament also changed greatly.

Or maybe when his strength reached that level, he naturally entered a state of being defiant.

But now, perhaps due to the pressure of survival, his arrogance has restrained a lot.He can even bear Quirrell's offense to him to a certain extent.

This is simply incredible!

Quirrell didn't push his boundaries, either, because he tried.

Judging from his current agile movements, the result of the attempt is obviously not good.

Giving you a face is giving you a face, and it is your fault to push your nose on your face.

Before walking to the utility room, Quirrell took a deep breath, and opened the door nervously.

For some reason, he always felt that what greeted him in the door in front of him was definitely not just the box they expected.

Open the door and enter, the utility room is still the same, messy.

Although with the help of the elves, the castle is still too large after all.So much so that there are such unattended utility rooms, or unremarkable sanitary corners.There are even quite a few.

This is not surprising.

Going forward, Quirrell hid the box in a corner of the utility room and covered it with a lot of sundries.

But because there were too many sundries, too messy, and the urgent rush, he didn't remember exactly how many things he had put on the box.

But even so, he still felt that the black rag beside the box was a bit strange.

He doesn't seem to have seen it before, but when he walks there, he always instinctively feels bad.

After thinking about it, he still took out his wand from his waist and waved it to remove all the sundries on the box.

Then he saw that the box was still there, but... Its outer shell seemed to have cracked a gap.

The rags that had been in his peripheral vision suddenly exploded, and a sharp and piercing cry sounded, making him a little dizzy.

At the same time, the box that was just cracked completely exploded!

Followed by two roars full of ferocity!
