Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Snape couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective for a moment. Only a title that Raven had once blurted out was very suitable for Dumbledore at this moment.

At this moment, Dumbledore looked like the ambitious man who had planned to rule over Muggles together with Grindelwald!

However, Dumbledore cannot be simply described as "white and black".

Human hearts are complicated. Ambition or the White King are just one side of Dumbledore as a human being.

Dumbledore had long ago chosen to hide his sharp and intimidating side for the sake of his family, and it has not been revealed for many years.

However, this does not mean that this side of him has completely disappeared. It is just that with the continuous increase of his own strength and the steady improvement of his status, there is nothing that requires him to show such a resolute and decisive side.

But today, Dumbledore became unusually serious, especially when he faced his old senior, the Ancient Demon King.

Dumbledore held the phone tightly in his hand and said solemnly, "You can definitely protect the safety of Hogwarts, right?"

His tone was firm and powerful. Rather than a simple statement, it was more like he was asking Raven to express his opinion. It was a solemn promise that he earnestly hoped Raven would make.

"Ah... You know, I'm under a lot of pressure as well..."

On the other end of the phone, Raven was still trying to make up stories in an attempt to get away with it.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted rudely by Dumbledore.

"No matter what, please at least make sure that danger does not break out in Hogwarts!"

Hearing these somewhat cold words, Raven finally realized the strangeness of Dumbledore's attitude.

So he stopped joking and said lovingly,

"Alright, alright, alright~ I promise you, it won't explode in Hogwarts. How can you be so weak as to not be amused? It's just a joke!"

Although Raven complained, he had actually agreed to Dumbledore's request.

"I am the only one who pampers you. Everyone else treats you like an old man."

With Raven's assurance, Snape felt his body suddenly feel much more relaxed.

The originally bitingly cold sunlight now became warm and pleasant.

He looked at Dumbledore again and found that the familiar kind smile was back on his face, as if the tense atmosphere just now had never existed.

This scene made Snape sigh, what a great "face-changing" skill!

"What? Are you admitting now that you are older than me? Didn't you say before that you were underage?"

Dumbledore, who was a little tense just now, actually started to make a joke at this moment. He said that as he got older, his skin became loose, so it was convenient to change his face.

"No, of course I'm underage. What I mean is that your mental age is just that of a child." Raven counterattacked bluntly.

[So to become a legendary wizard, you must first have a thick skin? Or like Voldemort, just be completely shameless? ]

Snape thought.

If it weren't for the clear markings in the [Mars Map Revised] provided by Riven,

Snape couldn't believe that the little employee of the Magical Congress who helped him run errands and serve tea and water was actually a legendary dark wizard from ancient times!

In Snape's eyes, each of these legendary wizards lacked the so-called bearing of a strong person more than the other.

You know, if they were placed in mythological stories, each of them could be regarded as a god-level existence!

Relatively speaking, Grindelwald is barely qualified. After all, compared with the others, Grindelwald relies more on his own personal charm.

However, even Grindelwald has a dark history that he cannot bear to look back on. For example, his road to success began with the theft of the Elder Wand from Gregorovitch's home...

But no matter what, with Raven's guarantee, Snape felt much more at ease.

After all, that was the ancient demon king who would kill the whole family if he said so. Since he had promised that Hogwarts would not be attacked, Snape could rest assured.

(Raven: I am not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.)

Raven didn't have the habit of talking on the phone with a guy who smelled like an old man, so he quickly hung up the phone unilaterally.

Dumbledore put away his phone and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he spoke.

"Severus, I want to ask you for a favor. I need you to go back to Hogwarts as my agent. As for this, I will ask Chief Kuku to send Aurors to help handle things."

Faced with Dumbledore's sudden request, Snape agreed without much thought.

Although he was unwilling to admit it deep down, this was indeed the first time he had been separated from his students for such a long time.

After thinking for a while and listing the possible problems he might encounter on this trip, Snape lowered his voice and asked,

"But now Hogwarts already has an acting headmaster, and I have already terminated my contract with Hogwarts. This identity is really too embarrassing."

Dumbledore shrugged, looking nonchalant.

"Connelly is the [acting principal], which is a position, and you are the [principal's] agent, which is authorization. There is an essential difference between the two, and it can be said that the identities do not overlap. However, the matter of the contract is indeed a bit tricky..."

Dumbledore scratched his snow-white hair and said,

"Well, let's put it this way. I have a house of my own in Hogsmeade, and you can live there for a while. As for the key to this house, it is with Aberforth! In addition, regarding the contract, I have placed it in the headmaster's office. When you arrive at the headmaster's office, you can ask Headmaster Armando about the relevant situation and find the contract document. As long as you sign and confirm it, the whole process will be completed!"

When Snape heard Dumbledore asking him to sign the contract, although he remained expressionless on the surface, the alarm had already sounded in his heart.

After all, he had gone to great lengths to find a scapegoat, and had just enjoyed a few days of free life.

Now he really doesn't want to be involved in Hogwarts affairs anymore.

Therefore, Snape did not show any strange expression, but asked calmly,

"Contract? What kind of contract is it?"

Dumbledore seemed to be completely unaware of Snape's thoughts. He acted very naturally and casually, and replied lightly,

"Oh, it's just a trusteeship agreement for some of Hogsmeade's properties. You should also know that most of the shops in Hogsmeade are owned by the school. Once you sign this agreement, it means that you will have the power to manage and supervise these shops on behalf of the school. This also means that you are considered a staff member of the school, which solves your identity problem. You can enter and leave the school on a daily basis."

In fact, there is another thing that Dumbledore did not say, which is that generally speaking, the position of temporarily managing school assets is actually held by successive principals.

As for the house and the key, they were all deliberately set up by Dumbledore to prevent Snape from paying too much attention to and trying to figure out the contract itself.

But Snape couldn't know about this, especially when the child's rebellious period came back...

After Dumbledore had explained everything, Snape left.

He just "disapparated" and instantly returned to the hotel and packed his luggage.

When he stepped out of the hotel door, he turned around and found himself at the location of the Magic Congress - it was in the center of Xinxiang City, and there were many hotels. With the portkey of the Magic Congress, he arrived at the Ministry of Magic the next moment.

The Portkey ends up in a separate compartment in the Department of Magical Transportation.

After working a whole day, Percy stood up, stretched, and began to pack up, preparing to go home for dinner after get off work.

However, when he saw the light of the portkey flashing on the door, his reaction was quick and alert. He immediately put down his handbag, held his wand tightly, and a hint of tension was revealed in his eyes.

Although the probability is very small, there have been cases where other countries have borrowed portkeys to raid the Ministry of Magic.

The original perpetrators were Grindelwald's witch party. Just as the Muggles had blitzed the territory of that country, they also blitzed the Ministry of Magic of others.

In short, Percy picked up the wand because it was required by the rules and regulations. As a Weasley brother, his real fighting power did not lie in the wand.

When he looked closely and found that the person was Snape, his vigilance instantly relaxed. Snape's iconic greasy hair was so easy to recognize that Percy recognized him at a glance.

Although Dumbledore and Newt were brought there by Raven, their entry and exit were all recorded. After all, it was an international invitation, and Raven would not make things difficult for his brothers.

Snape went directly from the Department of Magical Transportation.

Seeing him coming back alone, Percy asked as he led Snape to register,

"Professor Snape? You're back? Didn't Headmaster Dumbledore come back with you?"

Percy knew that although Professor Snape liked to deduct points from Gryffindor and scold Gryffindor students, the knowledge he imparted was real.

Without Professor Snape's careful teaching in Potions, it would be very difficult to obtain the "O" level certificate.

Therefore, Percy always had respect for the professor.

Hearing Percy's question, Snape nodded slightly and replied simply, "I was entrusted by Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts to deal with some matters."

Percy nodded in understanding.

However, the next moment, he asked a question for some unknown reason.

"Haven't you already resigned as a professor? Why are you still following Dumbledore's arrangements?"

As soon as Percy said this, he immediately regretted it. He secretly reflected that perhaps because he spent too much time with Raven, his way of thinking was unconsciously affected.
