Chapter 711 Pigs to Be Slaughtered

After hearing Snape's speech, Dumbledore thought for a long time in silence, and finally shook his head bitterly and refused, "In the current form, it is unrealistic to spend three years to heal the wound, I have already done it." prepared to die."

Snape seemed to be suppressing his anger when he heard the words, and he continued to try to persuade: "Damn, you can't leave the matter to other people to deal with? The situation is not so bad now! The Ministry of Magic is under the leadership of Harris Well done, we don't need your "noble" sacrifices to protect others!"

"But Harris and the others will not deal with Tom in a short time, even if I guess Alan has acquired this ability in this wonderful adventure-the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, they are dealing with Those pure-blood families in our British mainland who are still very strong have a very tough attitude. According to my observation, they are now mainly focusing on protection rather than offense, so they should plan to let Tom live for a long time and let him be External threats to make the wizarding world compromise on their expansion and strength.” After speaking, Dumbledore shook his head, as if he had made up his mind, “But you have also experienced the first wizarding war, even if they can protect the British wizarding world , but Tom is in a hurry, I know him, he will attack wizards and Muggles in other countries, so I can't let this new wizarding war become a tug of war, we have to end it as soon as possible and get things back to normal, As long as Tom is solved, Harris will compromise with those pure-blood families again, which will be a good thing for everyone."

Snape stood up abruptly from his seat, with a sneer on his face, "That's just right, the Dark Lord captured the old Parkinson tonight, and he used this to coerce Pansy Parkinson to do something between assassinating you and Allen." She made no choice, and that girl chose to assassinate you in her heart. He found out by his Legilimency, and you guessed right, the mysterious man has already told him to attack other countries. The big devil came for Harris."

"Poor girl, you have to undertake a mission that is doomed to fail." Dumbledore said regretfully, "Since Alan Harris and I are both in Hogwarts, the possibility of him coming in person is very small. He just wanted the poor girl to die."

"The Dark Lord didn't expect Parkinson to succeed. This is just to punish the old Parkinson for defecting. Let their father and daughter live in fear and anxiety, and let the father watch his daughter pay the price for his failure." Snape's voice More and more condensed, "He intends to recruit disgruntled dark wizards from all over the world to join his camp, and then fight Harris when he gathers enough power. The last time he played alone was played by Harris and he regained his strength. Some sanity."

"So, Severus, let's not let Tom drag the war on for too long. If one day I decide to die, I will give you a chance as much as possible, and don't give anyone else a chance, let alone The little girl did it, she had a chance at Hogwarts, I don't want murder to stain her soul, so you have to kill me Severus, there's only one way, there's only this, Voldemort will trust you completely."

"Then what about my soul? It has nothing to do with her, it has something to do with the mysterious man's trust in me, right? What should I do after you die?" Snape stood stiffly in the room, mocking Dumbledore rhetoric.

"Only you know whether helping an old man from pain and shame will hurt your soul." Dumbledore did not try to refute too much, but continued to explain him: "When the time is right, you must tell Harry Potter one thing." thing."

Hearing Harry's name, Snape frowned.

"But only when Tom is at his weakest." Dumbledore's blue eyes looked sharply at Snape. "If at some point, instead of sending the big snake that attacked Arthur to carry out orders, Tom keeps it around and keeps it magically protected, then I think I can tell Harry .”

"Protect Nagini?" Snape was startled at first,

Then he said in a low voice: "Tell him what? That stupid boy is simply a copy of his father, and he can't even learn Occlumency, his magic skills are mediocre, and he can directly connect to the Dark Lord's mind."

"That's why I told you to tell Harry at the last moment that if Tom tried a little more, he would understand that his own soul was so incomplete that it couldn't stand being near Harry's, like a tongue stuck to a frozen On the steel, the flesh touching the flames... He will never try to control Harry again after experiencing the pain, at least not in this way."

"You've been refusing to tell me anything for a long time, and now you're expecting me to help you with these 'little favors,'" Snape growled, real anger flashing across his thin face, " Do you take everything for granted?! Should all of us be on the right path by doing exactly what you want? Maybe I’ll change my mind!”

Snape's sudden outburst looked exasperated and unconvinced, and Dumbledore sighed.

"You swore, Severus, don't contradict what you say next, don't interrupt! The night Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry, Lily Potter put her body between them and used that When I taught her the Protection Charm, the spell bounced... when a fragment of Voldemort's soul attached itself to the only living thing in the room." Dumbledore stood up and walked around the large headmaster's desk Walking towards Snape, "There is a reason why Harry can speak Parseltongue and connect to Voldemort's mind. A part of Voldemort lives in him."

Hearing this, Snape opened his mouth but did not utter a word, as if he had suddenly lost his ability to organize his words, and all the happy times spent with Lily came to mind... and that night of thunderstorms On that night that brought him infinite despair, Lily lay on the messy ground, soundless. He hugged Lily's body, and was in agony in that chaotic room.

After leaving Godric's Hollow, he went to Dumbledore and asked, "You said you would keep her safe."

"Lily and James believed in the wrong person, Severus." Dumbledore turned his back to Snape, put his hands on the window lattice, and looked out the window with his head down.

"Aren't you too?" Snape, who was in pain, felt his heart was being torn apart.

"Her son is alive." Dumbledore turned around.

"Recently he is safe, the Dark Lord is not in England, and Hogwarts has you and Alan Harris." Snape said, spreading his hands.

Dumbledore raised his withered and charred hand, "The child is in danger, his eyes are like his mother's..."

Hearing this, Snape was like a desperate man grabbing the last crossbar, "If you really love her..." Dumbledore was interrupted by Snape before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't tell anyone."

"You want me to never reveal your kind side? You promise, can you risk your life every day to protect this child?"

...

Reminiscing for a long time, the headmaster's room was silent. Snape's lips trembled slightly, and he finally spoke out. No matter how turbulent his heart was, his voice was indeed unusually calm: "That is to say, the boy must die in the future?"

Dumbledore unconsciously moved his gaze away from Snape, and nodded, "Yes, he must die. And it must be done by Voldemort himself, Severus. That's the most important thing."

Another long silence.

Then Snape said, "I thought... all these years... I thought we were protecting him, for her, for Lily."

"We protect him because we have to train him, train him, let him hone his abilities," said Dumbledore, still closing his eyes tightly, "at the same time, the connection between them is getting stronger and stronger." , like a parasitic life. Sometimes I feel as if he is aware of it himself. If I really knew him, I think he would arrange everything so that when he decided to die, it would mean the real end of Voldemort. "

"You let him live so that he can die at the right time." Snape's voice was calm and heavy, but his expression was extremely frightened, "You used me, I made up lies for you, I made up lies for you At the risk of death. All this is said to be for the safety of Lily Potter's son. And now you tell me you're raising him like a pig for slaughter."

"How touching, Severus." Dumbledore turned his head to look at Snape seriously and asked, "Don't tell me you have feelings for him."

"Have feelings for him?!" Snape stretched out his wand and waved it vigorously in a big circle above his head, "Call God to protect you."

Silver gas spewed out from his wand, quickly gathered and condensed, and the silver doe popped out from the tip of his wand. It jumped to the other side of the office and flew out of the window. Dumbledore watched it disappear, then turned to look at Snape, and said in surprise, "Lily!"

Snape's eyes were shining brightly, staring blankly at the direction the doe left.

"It's been so long and you still..." Dumbledore was very surprised.

"Always (always)." Snape said deeply.
