Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

Chapter 177: Snape walks away

"I don't think we can indulge these students like that."

"Moreover, especially Professor Lockhart who led them into the Forbidden Forest, I now seriously doubt the purpose of Professor Lockhart."

Snape stood in front of the window sill, looking at Lockhart who was smiling at him with disgust.

At this time, the scars on Snape's face had disappeared without a trace.

After all, he is also a potion master, so how could he not have something on him.

However, Snape and Lockhart looked very embarrassed.

Their wizard robes were damaged in many places and stained with mud. They looked like destitute beggars.

At least, when he first saw Snape and Lockhart, even Dumbledore was shocked. He thought they had encountered some powerful wizard.

But I never thought that these two would have a wizard duel beforehand.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and had a smile on his face, looking affable.

"It can't be that serious, Severus."

"As far as I know, this is just Gilderoy's intention to take these outstanding students who are about to graduate to experience the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest first, to prepare them for their possible Auror careers in the future."

"You also know that it is very difficult to be a good Auror, especially after they successfully become an Auror, they will have to face most of the problems in the world, which is very difficult."

Dumbledore pinched his half-moon glasses, and there was an unusual flavor in his blue eyes.

"Dumbledore, this is against school rules. I think they should be punished."

Feeling that Dumbledore seemed to want to let them go, Snape was instantly reluctant.

Just kidding, he suffered a big loss this time, how could he let them go so easily.

Especially, when he saw Lockhart's smile getting brighter and brighter, his inner anger increased.

On the spot, he wanted to pull out his wand and cast some spells on Lockhart.

If this wasn't the principal's office, maybe he would have actually done that.

But unfortunately, this is the principal's office, and Dumbledore is there.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Snape argued with Dumbledore.

His request was very simple. He did not ask for the punishment of those students, but at least the main culprit Lockhart was punished.

It would be best if he left Hogwarts as soon as possible and never came back.

In this way, next year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor might be his.

Snape thought so, but Dumbledore obviously didn't have this idea.

After all, going on adventures is in line with Gryffindor's character.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore happened to be a wizard born in Gryffindor.

What Lockhart did before was actually in line with Dumbledore's taste.

Dumbledore's smile grew brighter and brighter.

He looked at Snape and spoke seriously.

"Severus, maybe they are indeed a little wrong, but they are not expelled from Hogwarts like you said before."

"Indeed, those students were bewitched by Professor Lockhart and followed him to the Forbidden Forest. So I can ignore those students, but what Professor Lockhart did is not too much."

Snape gave Dumbledore a very cold look.

His expression was very indifferent, but when he looked at Lockhart, there was a hint of disgust from time to time.

Lockhart didn't mind how Snape looked at him. He was the one who took advantage, not Snape.

Then let him show his emotions, what's the harm?

Lockhart stepped forward and looked at Snape.

"I think what we should be more curious about is why Professor Snape appeared in the Forbidden Forest."

"This week, it doesn't seem like your professor is on duty."

Although Lockhart was looking at Snape, his eyes were obviously wandering outward, as if he didn't care about Snape's thoughts at all.

Naturally, Snape also saw Lockhart's appearance. He had a plain face, but there was also a hint of sullenness on his face, but it disappeared immediately.

"I guess I don't need to tell you why I appeared in the Forbidden Forest."

Snape looked at Dumbledore, but his cold tone was clearly directed at Lockhart.

Then, he added to Dumbledore.

"Tonight, I have a potion experiment that requires some medicinal materials, but my inventory has just used up this small amount of medicinal materials. I have no choice but to enter the Forbidden Forest to search for it."

"Then, I saw Lockhart, leading ten students out of the depths of the Forbidden Forest."

Dumbledore nodded, indicating that he understood what Snape meant.

Sometimes, all they need is a reason.

Naturally, it was impossible for Snape to tell Dumbledore what he was thinking tonight.

Then I had to give him a reason, a reasonable reason.

Dumbledore naturally knew this, and he knew exactly what Snape was going to do.

Counting the time, more than ten years ago seems like yesterday.

Today seems to be the day Lily and James die.

Snape did not dare to go to Godric's Hollow, to her grave.

Tonight every year, he would only stay in Hogwarts, go to the places they had been, walk around and see.

Perhaps, there is another reason.

That's because Snape didn't want to see James Potter's grave next to Lily Potter's.

However, no matter how much Snape didn't want to see James's tombstone next to Lily's, he couldn't change this fact.

This was probably the main reason why Snape didn't want to go to Godric's Hollow.

Dumbledore sighed softly.

"I believe in you, and I believe in Professor Lockhart."

"I believe he would not play with the lives of children."

"Like, you're willing to protect the person you want to protect."

"Severus, why don't we be more generous?"

Dumbledore said this to Snape. He naturally knew that Snape and Lockhart had a fight, and in the end, Snape naturally suffered a bit.

However, Snape didn't tell him, so he could naturally pretend not to know.

And Dumbledore was also happy about it. As long as nothing happened to Hogwarts or the little wizards, then why would he do so many things?

When Snape heard this, he already understood what Dumbledore meant.

But he was still very unwilling and gave Dumbledore a hard look.

Without saying anything, he was ready to leave.

But he had just taken two steps when he heard Dumbledore say something to him.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."
