Chapter 53 No One Can Do Everything

School infirmary.

Madam Pomfrey gave Malfoy a comprehensive examination.

"Oh! What happened to Merlin's beard?"

Madam Pomfrey said in shock: "This is very evil black magic. How could someone use this kind of magic on a little wizard?"

"Poppy, how is Malfoy now?" Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.

Pomfrey looked distressed. She shook her head and said: "The situation is very bad. There is still damage from black magic in his body. It is not easy to cure. I need some special potions."

Dumbledore turned to look at Snape.

Snape said lightly: "Leave it to me!"

Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, let's go out first. The child needs to rest now."

The group came to the door of the school infirmary and saw Professor Tang En coming down from the third floor. He nodded to Dumbledore first, and then said: "During the banquet, only Mr. Filch was not there. Although Ms. Pomfrey left early,... the time was not right."

Everyone looked at each other.

Filch is a squib. Even if he has some dark magic items in his hand, it is difficult for him to attack the little wizard.

Moreover, he has no reason to do so.

Dumbledore's eyes are solemn.

He actually has some doubts in his heart, but he is not sure how the other party did it and what his purpose is.

But there is no doubt that the other party has not given up the intention of stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

"Okay, Minerva, you take the professors to search the castle first, don't miss any corner, and let the ghosts in the castle come to help."

Dumbledore arranged, "Severus, come to the headmaster's office with me."

Snape glanced at Dumbledore.

He felt that Dumbledore already knew who the murderer was, but after thinking about it, Snape still didn't say much.

Headmaster's office.

There were no outsiders here, so Snape asked straight to the point: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"Ah! Yes, I have guessed a little."

Dumbledore sat on a chair, crossed his hands on the table, and stared at Snape, "But I don't know how he did it yet, and I don't know what his intention is..."

"Severus, has Malfoy done anything unusual during this period?"

Snape thought for a while, "No!"

Dumbledore closed his eyes and thought.

He knew who did it, and what the other party's ultimate goal was. But he couldn't figure out how the other party would achieve his goal by attacking Malfoy.

There should be no insider in the castle.

Snape was a little impatient, "Principal Dumbledore, who is the murderer?"

"Quirinus Quirrell!" Dumbledore did not hide it.

"Is it him?"

Snape was a little confused, "He has been away from Hogwarts for more than a month. I know his ability. He can't do this. The Dark Lord has lost his power..."

As one of Dumbledore's right-hand men, Snape knows a lot of secrets. Dumbledore will also hand over matters related to Voldemort to Snape.

In short, Professor McGonagall is responsible for managing the relevant affairs of Hogwarts, while some dirty, tiring and dangerous work is handed over to Snape.

This is fair!

Who made Snape not the vice-principal!

"Maybe he arranged some means before he left."

Dumbledore said frankly: "On the day he left, I accidentally discovered...Voldemort was possessed by him."

Snape: "..."

He now wants to pry open Dumbledore's skull to see what he is thinking inside.

Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

Since you have found Voldemort, why don't you keep him?

Snape not only thought so, he also asked so.

"Then why didn't you catch him?"

Snape simply couldn't understand, "With your ability, it should be enough to do this."

"No, Severus, I can't do it!"

Dumbledore's eyes were calm, and his voice was gentle: "Although I have made some achievements in magic, I am not omnipotent, and no one in this world can be omnipotent."

"Voldemort's current state is very special. He is between existence and non-existence. Although he has lost his power, he is also immune to a lot of magical damage."

Snape was panting with anger. He didn't believe Dumbledore's nonsense at all.

Dumbledore continued: "So I gave up the shot at that time, but... Voldemort obviously didn't give up."

Snape frowned and said: "But he has left the school!"

Dumbledore was a little distressed, "This is also the most confusing thing for me. He attacked Malfoy... Why?"

Snape seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were a little solemn, "I know Lucius. Malfoy was attacked in school. He will definitely take Malfoy out for recuperation."

Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Snape.

If that's the case, the situation is a bit bad.

Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, and the news that Voldemort is still alive obviously can't be told to him.

But in this way, it will be difficult for Dumbledore to intervene in Malfoy's affairs.

And once Quirrell finds an opportunity, he can return to Hogwarts through Malfoy - he can even do it with just a space extension spell.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "If that's the case, Malfoy will at least not be in danger."

Snape was almost mad at him, "Do you still want the Dark Lord to return to Hogwarts?"

"We have no other way!"

Dumbledore said in a low voice: "If the secret of Voldemort's immortality cannot be cracked, he will come back sooner or later. I'm old, Severus, at least when I still have the ability..."

Snape looked at Dumbledore.

That's true, but the Philosopher's Stone is in Hogwarts now. Isn't it easy for you to live a few more years?

But Snape didn't want to discuss this issue with Dumbledore.

He didn't want to be mad at Dumbledore and let Dumbledore send his son to his grave.

"I'll keep an eye on him!"

Leaving this sentence, Snape turned and walked out of the headmaster's office.

He decided to drink a bottle of euphoria potion when he returned, but he didn't know that this thing didn't work on cerebral hemorrhage blood vessels.

Dumbledore remained silent.

Quirrell will return to Hogwarts through Malfoy, so he will definitely continue to use Malfoy to carry out his actions.

As for the relationship between Harry and Malfoy, they will officially confront each other sooner or later.

Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, and he felt that he was a little cold-blooded.

However, apart from this, Dumbledore had no other choice.

Some people, even if they can accurately predict the future, they still fail in the end.

Dumbledore knows such people.

So, no one can do everything, the only thing we can do is to try our best.
