Chapter 494: Snape's Revelation
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Professor, although I know that this question is asked again and again, it is not very meaningful after all. But... do you really think that, Can that mirror bring you to Harry's... well, I mean, Lily Evans?"
At this time, Maca had already sat down at the dining table in the living room, facing Snape who always looked indifferent, he really didn't know how to speak.
But in this world, Snape is probably the closest to the current Greenwald. No matter what clues Maca wanted to get, he had to work hard on Snape.
And this incident, in the final analysis, was that he was helpless against the floor-to-ceiling round mirror. If there is any possible solution, the starting point will naturally fall on the round mirror itself.
However, when Snape heard him ask this, he still kept silent. Obviously, Snape is betting all on that mirror now, isn't he? Even though Maca asked repeatedly, he didn't intend to tell the reason.
"Professor..." Upon seeing this, Maca had to sigh, "Since you don't want to say it, let me say it first! You can listen to it and see if what I say makes sense... First of all, Greenwald's purpose You should know, right?"
Snape hesitated for a moment, probably thinking that it would be no problem to answer this kind of question, so he nodded simply.
"Yes," Maca also nodded, "He wanted to follow in the footsteps of Professor Dumbledore, so he did not know where to get that mirror, and wanted to use it in front of the remains of his old friend Dumbledore. As far as I know, he thought the mirror would open a passage to where Dumbledore was."
This is a conclusion drawn from the combination of Greenwald's words and deeds at the time, but it is not actually the truth. But when Maca saw Snape nod his head again, he became more determined in his heart.
"Greenwald thinks so," Maca silently confirmed, but then continued, "Although I'm not sure if he's right—because the situation of the mirror is quite special, if you don't go to the mirror in person If you look at it, no one can come to a conclusion. Then, let me just assume that he is right..."
"Leave this matter aside," he shook his head, then suddenly changed his subject, "Professor, do you still remember the materialized memory that Professor Dumbledore asked you to hand over to me?"
Seeing that Maca changed the subject while talking, Snape couldn't help but have some doubts.
"Remember, what's wrong?" He said calmly.
When he said these words, Snape's expression didn't change at all, it was obvious that he had made up his mind and made up his mind not to be disturbed by any words.
"I saw Professor Dumbledore in the Pensieve," Maca thought for a while, and then said frankly, "I didn't see Professor Dumbledore in my memory, but him himself!"
"Oh?" Snape narrowed his eyes when he heard these words.
Of course, he was not surprised by the meeting between Maca and Dumbledore, but because, since Maca had already met Dumbledore, he must also have seen the mysterious place where Dumbledore went.
You know, when Snape gave that memory to Maca, Dumbledore was already dead.
After all, when Dumbledore died, there was no one else present but Snape himself. To say that the one who knew the most about Dumbledore's death was only Snape in this world.
"Have you really met Dumbledore?" He hesitated, "I?"
Knowing that Snape has always been cautious, it is impossible for him to believe such one-sided statements. Regarding this point, although Maca has prepared a countermeasure, but now that it is really going to be implemented, he inevitably hesitates in his heart.
Like Snape, Maca was also a very cautious person, if he was asked to make some extremely risky actions, he would undoubtedly be in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a while, Maca breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes silently, and after sorting out his thoughts, he opened his eyes again and looked at Snape.
"Professor, I have unlocked that part of the memory, you..." He paused for a moment, then said again, "You can read it yourself."
Once Occlumency is practiced deeply, it can isolate a specific part of the memory, and even materialize it, turning it into a white floc and taking it out for preservation.
This kind of magic is not easy to learn, and it is even more difficult to master, but it is very practical. Maca started to practice a long time ago, and has continued until now, it can be said to be quite good.
However, Snape himself is a master figure who is proficient in Occlumency and Legilimency. In terms of these two kinds of magic, his ability is not much worse than Dumbledore's.
Even if such a master read his own memory, even if he only unlocked a small part, Maca would have to bear a lot of risks for this. To be honest, in his memory, there are too many contents that cannot be revealed.
Regarding Maca's actions, Snape finally no longer had a dead face. He looked at Maca in surprise, but he didn't do it for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"professor?"
Now that he has said it, Maka naturally no longer struggles, but urges him a little bit.
"I see..." Probably because the desire to confirm outweighed some hesitation in his heart, Snape stopped procrastinating, pulled out his wand and pointed at Maca, "Legiliency."
The moment Snape cast the spell, Maca's use of Occlumency also came to a head. Just as he feared, although he still had a lot of trust in Snape, he had to be careful if the relationship got too involved.
But he also knew that gaining Snape's trust and getting Snape's assistance was also essential in this incident. There are too few clues about Greenwald and the round mirror, and he can't let go of this opportunity.
As Maca's expression shook, Snape's spirit immediately invaded his mind, and a memory was soon fully revealed in Snape's consciousness.
For this master of memory spells, whether there are traces of tampering can naturally be distinguished in a very subtle way. When Snape read that memory carefully, the two men's minds were disconnected immediately.
Taking advantage of Snape's moment of frowning and thinking, Maca secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Letting others flip through their memories at will, even with their own consent, is unlikely to be a good experience.
Right now, he can only be thankful that he took the initiative to befriend Snape because of his admiration for magical knowledge, which was really the most correct decision he made so far.
To be honest, although Snape couldn't be said to be a bad guy, he definitely wouldn't be a good guy either. From the very beginning, he felt that he and Snape were really similar in some respects, so he also understood very well that for people like them, trust is really very precious and rare.
As Snape put away his wand and thought to himself, time was slowly passing by. One of the two kept silent and weighed the left and right, while the other calmed down and waited silently. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that they must come to a final conclusion today.
Up to now, Maca has said all that should be said, and accurately conveyed what he wanted to convey to Snape. What the conclusion will be after that all depends on Snape's judgment.
After a long time, even though it was still dark, it felt like a whole night to Maca. Finally, Snape raised his head and put his gaze back on Maca's face again.
"McLean...do you know the Mirror of Erised?"
Maca was slightly taken aback by Snape's sudden question.
Of course he knew about the mirror that had been stored in Hogwarts Castle all along, but because of his influence, the dark mirror that was supposed to show up in the first year of school did not appear after all.
Yes, when Snape mentioned the Mirror of Erised, he immediately compared it with the mysterious round mirror.
These two are both magical floor-to-ceiling mirrors. If they have to be connected, there may be many similarities. But when it comes to the differences, there are more.
The magical effect of the Mirror of Erised is unique and dangerous in a way because it can reveal a person's most urgent and most intense desires. If a weak-minded person stands in front of it, he may even fall into infinite confusion and madness.
But if it is compared with the floor-to-ceiling round mirror that Greenwald made, it is really nothing to mention.
Between doubts, Maca nodded to Snape, indicating that the other party could continue talking.
"Greenwald once told me that the Mirror of Erised stored at Hogwarts is a copy made by Rowena Ravenclaw based on another ancient magic mirror with powerful magic power." Snape said softly Said, "Besides, Ravenclaw used this imitation to set an unbreakable seal for that powerful ancient magic mirror."
"Rowena Ravenclaw?"
Maca never expected that he would hear this extremely familiar name again under such circumstances. Who would have expected that the mysterious floor-to-ceiling round mirror would be related to Ravenclaw again?
The incident of the Bewitching Monument has not yet been completely resolved, and now the floor-to-ceiling round mirror can't wait to be placed in front of him. Both of these can be said to be the source of a monstrous disaster, the root of the so-called evil.
It seems that this Rowena Ravenclaw... No, maybe she should be called Rowena Mira, one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the founder of Ravenclaw House, why? Is it always unclear about these catastrophes?
Maca's expression at this moment changed several times in a row, and his heart became even more uneasy. Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
