"Boom -" A thunderous sound pierced the sky, followed by the sound of rain rushing in. The noisy rain quickly overwhelmed all other sounds and fell to the ground with crackling sounds.

Professor Snape's face was expressionless. He stared at Esther, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he slowly said: "Then your efforts have yielded some results."

Esther smiled in surprise, and before she could be happy, she heard him continue: "But only half has changed."

Esther's smile froze on her face: "What do you mean?"

"Malfoy did not become a Death Eater."

"However, the Dark Lord still gave him... an unachievable task, right?"

Esther had understood the implication.

"Yes."

"Fortunately, it's better than..."

Although a little disappointed, the development of this story is already much better than the original work.

"Do you know what mission he took?"

Snape stared into her eyes and asked calmly.

Esther subconsciously clenched her hands. Of course she knew what task she was taking: "I know." She took a deep breath before continuing: "The task given to him by the Dark Lord is to kill Dumbledore, right?"

Snape showed a hint of sarcasm: "Then you should also know that Mrs. Malfoy came to see me some time ago?"

"I know."

"Since you know everything, why did you come to me this time? What's the point of your visit except causing trouble?"

"I'm sorry." Esther apologized first: "I'm just not sure."

"Now that you are sure, how are you going to save us?" Snape still sneered.

Esther didn't know how to answer this question. Because all of this was Dumbledore's plan, he calculated his own death into this plan. And unlike others, Dumbledore knew her true identity, and whether he agreed with her change or not was unknown.

Others lost their lives due to various accidents, but he was the only one who knew clearly that he was heading towards his own death step by step.

Even this ending was constructed by him personally

"I don't know about this question yet." Esther raised her head and looked directly at Professor Snape, her eyes troubled and complicated: "I have to ask Dumbledore, I want to know what he thinks."

Snape did not continue to embarrass her, but directly ordered her to be kicked out: "Now that the questions have been asked, I think you can leave."

Esther stood up quickly, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked Snape awkwardly: "Professor, can you lend me an umbrella? It's really raining outside."

Snape was unmoved: "No."

"...Can I take shelter from the rain here for a while?" She asked in a low voice.

"Staying here with me is no safer than getting caught in the rain." Snape said still expressionlessly: "Peter Pettigrew may wake up at any time. If he sees you, then you and I will become dangerous. .”

Esther knew that this was true. Of course, the most likely reason was that Professor Snape didn't want to see troublesome students during the summer vacation.

Esther is not a person who asks for trouble, but it is raining really hard outside. She can cast a spell on herself to prevent the rain from getting wet. However, underage wizards using wands outside of school can easily be detected by the Ministry of Magic, which does not allow underage wizards to use magic privately. Secondly, it was raining so heavily and she didn't get wet at all when she ran out. It was hard to explain when she met a Muggle.

"How about we cast another magic on Peter Pettigrew to make him sleep deeper? I think the rain will stop soon." Esther asked Snape's opinion in a low voice.

Snape stood up.

Esther's first reaction was that he was going to kick her out directly, but in the end, he just glanced at her and said coldly: "It's up to you, don't make any noise, and don't disturb me from making the potion."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards a room connected to the living room.

Esther silently sat back on the sofa. With Snape away, she began to look at the living room environment unscrupulously.

There are no decorations on the four walls, only books, and all kinds of books are piled up on the walls.

Esther really didn't dare to move at first, but she was getting more and more bored, and the sound of rain outside showed no sign of stopping.

After sitting like this for more than ten minutes, she finally stood up, silently walked to the bookshelf, and looked at the books one by one.

She didn't dare to flip through it, she just looked at the title on the cover page.

Most of these books are related to potions, and there are also many other types of books mixed in. Most of these books are well preserved, but some of them are very old and look a little shabby at first glance.

She looked from wall to wall. When she saw the last wall, the sound of rain gradually decreased, and at the same time, Professor Snape walked out of another room.

"You can leave now."

He issued the eviction order without mercy.

Esther didn't wait any longer and walked all the way to the door. She turned around and found Professor Snape walking over with her.

Are you going to send her off?

Esther was a little flattered. She raised her hand and was about to say goodbye to Professor Snape: "Again..."

With a "bang" sound, the door was slammed shut.

"...Goodbye, Professor."

Esther silently said her goodbyes, staring at the closed door a little helplessly.

The rain didn't stop completely, it just changed from a downpour to a drizzle.

The dark clouds gathering in the sky dispersed a lot, and the sky became a little clearer compared to the gray and gloomy sky at the beginning.

The sun still hasn't come out, and the air is filled with humid water vapor after the rain. The sultry heat has dissipated, and the air has become much fresher.

Compared to the anxiety she felt when she first met, Esther, who already knew how things were going, felt much more at ease.

She braved a slight drizzle and returned the same way.

The dirty river when we came here had swollen due to the rain, and it was also much clearer. The unpleasant smell also dissipated a lot with the rain.

Putting her hands into her pockets, she found some cash that she had brought with her. Esther thought that since she had sneaked out, she might as well finish her lunch outside before going back.

In order to prevent the family from worrying about finding her, they might as well go to the restaurant owned by her grandfather to eat.

Thinking like this, she walked briskly, leaving this quiet street and heading towards the bustling area.

She stayed outside until 2 p.m., when she was choosing perfume at a corner perfume shop. Then she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw David walking over with a dark face.

"You are so powerful now that you dare to run away from home?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

Esther raised her head and glanced at the clock hanging in the store, wondering why she came here so quickly?

But he was saying: "Grandma's birthday is coming soon, and I'm choosing a birthday gift for her."

"You'd better be picking out a birthday present. If I knew you had other reasons for running out..."

"Don't scare me casually. I'm not a three-year-old child, and I'm about to start school. Unless you become a school teacher, you won't be able to control me."

Esther deliberately made him angry.

David:…
