Chapter 838 The Call of the Dark Lord

Snape's words immediately caught Ivan's attention. As the best potion master in England, Snape's judgment is still trustworthy.

And this is consistent with his previous prediction...

"You mean, Dumbledore might have died a long time ago?" Ivan murmured to himself, but soon felt that this was unlikely.

If that's the case, then who was the person who dueled him before?

Not to mention, he had confirmed Dumbledore's body, and there was no way to fake such serious injuries.

"No, I mean he might have used other methods to temporarily stop the injury from happening." Snape shook his head, rejected Ivan's guess, and explained again. "Dumbledore told me a few months ago that he might be able to do this."

"Is that so?" Ivan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

If Snape didn't lie to him, then Dumbledore must have done something during his disappearance to delay death. Dumbledore's overwhelming strength in the duel may also be related to This is about...

Could it be the Deathly Hallows?

Ivan thought about it and was a little hesitant, because Dumbledore didn't even use the Elder Wand during the duel.

In addition, he had never thought highly of these so-called Deathly Hallows before. After all, judging from the intelligence of the original time and space, except for the Elder Wand, the performance of the other two Hallows could only be described as crotch pulling.

For example, the function of the invisibility cloak is to make the wearer invisible. Although the effect is much better than the ordinary illusion spell, there is still a risk of being seen through.

Not to mention the Resurrection Stone, which can only allow people to see some specious magical illusions with ontological memory. They are not real souls and cannot resurrect the dead...

Ivan thought for a while, but had no clue. Finally, he had to look at Snape and continue to ask. "You haven't answered my other question yet, Professor Snape, did Principal Dumbledore give you any special orders before?"

"He told me that if you win this duel, let me cooperate with your actions as much as possible. The British wizarding world can no longer bear the next wizard war." Snape explained.

Ivan nodded. This was good news. It seemed that the will left by Dumbledore should be beneficial to him and even clear his suspicion.

"In addition, Dumbledore also plans to let me be responsible for guiding Potter to learn Occlumency to prevent him from being affected by the Dark Lord's magic again..." Snape said, his face became a little ugly.

"Harry?"

Ivan was stunned for a moment, vaguely thinking of something, but before he could ask, Snape continued to add. "But I'm not interested in teaching him. In comparison, I think Potter would be more willing to learn from you..."

"What else?" Ivan simply ignored the topic and asked casually.

"That's all..." Snape said with certainty. After a pause, he spoke again. "Dumbledore is dead. He can't give me any help. There is no need for me to hide things from him."

Ivan looked at him for a while, and then said calmly. "I hope for the best..."

"I know what to do..." Snape replied coldly.

Ivan nodded, did not embarrass Snape anymore, and said directly. "In that case, then follow your previous idea. I will give you half a year to find the secret keeper. You need to bring him to me as much as possible!"

"Or you can find a way to gain Voldemort's trust and become the secret keeper of that place!"

"As for Harry... Principal Dumbledore wants you to be responsible for teaching him, so let's do it. I may not have the time, and you are the best Occlumency master I have ever seen." Ivan said He added pointedly.

Snape opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue, but in the end he reluctantly agreed.

"Aren't you going to ask me why Dumbledore is willing to trust me?" Snape asked suddenly.

"No, there's no need for that. I have reasons to trust you, and I also believe that you will protect Harry..." Ivan patted Snape on the shoulder, and then stopped caring about Snape who was stunned in place. , walked straight towards the rooftop gate.

Ivan didn't turn his head until he opened the door and left, and gave a final reminder.

"By the way, Professor Snape, although your use of Occlumency is very good, I still want to remind you, don't underestimate Harry. If your Legilimency is countered, you will reveal something inappropriate. The memory that should be revealed will be difficult to deal with."

"It's not like I can't handle a brat..." Snape said angrily.

"As long as you have confidence, you have to pay more attention anyway." Ivan shrugged, he just mentioned it casually.

In the original time and space, Snape was countered when he was teaching Harry. He was simply too careless, underestimated Harry's ability, and did not expect that the other party would suddenly release the Iron Armor Curse.

Now with his own reminder, Snape should not make the same mistake again.

"Then, see you next semester, professor!" Ivan nodded slightly, and then followed the door into the deep corridor without looking back.

When Ivan's figure completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, the calm expression on Snape's face suddenly became very ugly.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore would tell Ivan Hals about himself and Lily.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Ivan Hals specifically mentioned that he believed he would protect Harry.

Snape clenched his fists, feeling somewhat angry.

Dumbledore once promised him that he would seal this past forever, but now the other party has undoubtedly broken the promise...

What makes Snape even more annoyed is that now that Dumbledore is dead, it will be useless no matter how angry he is. The other party will never rise from the grave to answer his questions, and he can't burn him in a fire just to vent his anger. Dumbledore's corpse...

Just as Snape was thinking about it, a burning tingling sensation shot up from his arm. The annoyed expression on Snape's face immediately calmed down. He opened his sleeves and saw that the mark of the Dark Devil burned on his wrist was slightly red. The big snake wandering out of the skull seemed to be alive.

Immediately afterwards, an instruction was transmitted to his mind out of thin air.

Snape understood that this was the Dark Lord summoning him, so he immediately used magic power to stir up his black robes, jumped down from the top of the tower, and flew into the distance like a giant bat.

But he didn't see that on the rooftop, Ivan's figure came out of the shadows again...
