Chapter 1,140

"So, Snape offered to help Malfoy?" Hermione said with a frown.

"Obviously, unless my ears deceive me," said Harry.

"Sorry, Harry, it's not that I don't trust you, but I just can't think of..."

"Is this true?" Hermione asked together.

A look of indignation escaped Harry's face.

"Sorry, but I guess I was just making sure," Hermione said, setting the glass aside.

Slughorn's banquet had reached its climax, and most of the people had almost finished drinking, so no one came to disturb them.

Like Luna?

After being poured down a few glasses of beer by Professor Trauni, she was blushing and observing the starry sky with Professor Trauni on a chair nearby. Strictly speaking, the sun today was a bit bright and dazzling. This time, Trauni The professor thought it was dawn.

"Yes, Snape offered to help him!" said Harry. "He said he made a promise to Malfoy's mother to protect him, and made an Unbreakable Vow and all that—"

"Unbreakable Vow?" Hermione looked shocked.

"No, he can't be...are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure," said Harry. "What's wrong? What does this mean?"

"Let's put it this way, you can't break an unbreakable oath..." Fan Lin explained.

"I can almost think of this myself, interesting enough. So, what happens if you break it?"

"I will die." Fan Lin said.

"will die?"

"Literally." Fan Lin explained, looking at Snape who came back to the banquet.

It stands to reason that the trouble Malfoy caused had nothing to do with Snape. Even if it was due to the long-standing good relationship between the two, it did not reach the level where Snape risked his life for it.

"So..." Harry opened his mouth, wanting to repeat the conspiracy theory about Malfoy.

"So, have you ever thought that Snape might just pretend to agree to the Malfoy family?" Hermione glanced at Fanlin and asked carefully. To be honest, this was difficult for the girl to understand.

On the one hand, it is the theory that Snape will not betray that Fanlin instilled, and on the other hand...

Now Harry has obviously collected evidence.

I have to admit that this is very ironic for Fan Lin.

"-Pretend to offer to help Malfoy so you know what he's up to?" Harry said quickly. "Yeah, I know you would think that. But how do we know that's the case?"

"Perhaps, we don't need to know at all." Fan Lin said suddenly, "Whether it's true or false, whether it's what you saw or what we saw, none of this seems to be that important in Dumbledore's eyes. "

"This is Dumbledore's business. Dumbledore trusted Snape, and that should be enough for all of us."

"But," said Harry, "I'm just saying—just saying that Dumbledore was wrong about Snape—"

"People have said this many times. It depends on whether you believe in Dumbledore's judgment. I believe it; therefore, I trust Professor Snape." Fanlin said.

This surprised Harry. He thought Fanlin would choose to support him, but it turned out.

"But Dumbledore makes mistakes," Harry argued. "He said so himself. You—"

"Oh, yes, Dumbledore also makes mistakes." Fan Lin said, "But most of the time, Dumbledore is still right. I think this does not require any of us to confirm or Deny it, otherwise, whether it’s you or me, we should have finished playing it long ago, right?”

"That's true, but I still reserve my opinion." Harry said.

"Of course, in fact, I don't quite understand." Fan Lin said, "If it is true that Snape said he made an unbreakable oath, why doesn't Malfoy believe Snape? I mean "Before, you didn't hear anything specific, and one thing that's clear now is what Malfoy wanted to do at Hogwarts, and then he got the support of the Death Eaters."

"Yes, that's it," Harry said.

"Of course, it could be someone else, but let's not consider other possibilities first. So, what can Malfoy do in Hogwarts?" Fan Lin asked.

Harry was a little speechless. As mentioned before, until now, Harry had only guessed what Malfoy really wanted to do at Hogwarts. What was it?

Targeted at whom?

Dumbledore? Or, Fanlin, or else, himself?

"I don't know." Harry shook his head. He had thought about many possibilities, but Hogwarts was now impregnable, at least on the surface it looked like this.

In Hogsmeade, a large number of Aurors are stationed there, and inside Hogwarts.

Although Filch is a squib, the tools in his hands are no joke.

Dark magic detector, and it also has to pass through the magic circle guarding Hogwarts Castle. If Malfoy wants to bring something in, it is difficult to say that this is a feasible thing.

As for Malfoy himself, although he was dissatisfied with Snape's evaluation, in fact, Malfoy was nothing more than a little wizard with similar abilities to Harry.

This ability may be very strong, but in Hogwarts, there are many people who can do such a little wizard even among the students, such as Hermione?

Although the girl did not have much practical experience, no one had ever doubted Hermione's efforts.

Just one word can mean many things.

In fact, the girl's talent is not bad. There are not many young wizards who can be selected to Hogwarts who are inferior in talent. Otherwise, why would Hogwarts become the number one magic school? ?

Therefore, whether it is the accumulation of magic power or the use of magic spells, Hermione will never be inferior to anyone, but most of the people who compete with them are wizards from the previous generation or even several generations. Naturally, they are superior in strength. He doesn't seem that outstanding, and this is where Fanlin attracts attention.

A young wizard who can defeat wizards of the same era as Voldemort is a very gimmick in itself.

So, what does Malfoy have?

A famous family?

However, judging from Lucius's current situation, it does not seem to be that reliable, and on Voldemort's side, Fanlin is very aware that Lucius's situation is not good.

A loser who also lost something vital to Voldemort's life.

How should Lucius respond?

Just continue to live in a humble posture as before? Let many subsequent Death Eaters step over his head?

This is not an easy thing to accept.

Of course, Lucius has better choices, such as... (To be continued)
