Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute
Chapter 67: Snape and Tom's Confrontation
On the other hand, a huge wave has been set off in the wizarding world.
Ling Bai's disappearance attracted too much attention.
What many people are curious about is not just the disappearance of a teenager, but more importantly, who is the person behind this teenager?
To be able to have such a big hand, looking for someone in the wizarding world.
For example, Dumbledore was thinking about who took Ling Bai away back then.
He had thought that Tom had asked Lucius to do this.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not the case.
Lucius is from the Malfoy family, and everything he does is to make the family more prosperous.
And when Voldemort was doomed, Lucius distanced himself from the matter as quickly as possible.
However, what is strange is that Lucius is still taking care of Ling Bai.
Lucius might not make things difficult for a child, but he would definitely not be so kind as to support a useless person.
So who was it that took Ling Bai away? This was something Dumbledore couldn't figure out.
Although Voldemort has made a comeback now, his strength is not enough to mobilize such a large force just because of the disappearance of a teenager.
Moreover, Dumbledore has never been able to confirm whether there is any relationship between him and Ling Bai.
He had no way of knowing for sure whether he was a comrade or an enemy, even though he was Harry's brother.
But Dumbledore had no way of knowing who he had lived with for the first ten years of his life, or what values he had been instilled with.
So he couldn't trust the child rashly.
Others, like Snape, couldn't think that much.
When he learned that Ling Bai was missing, he immediately lost his mind.
He immediately found Lucius to inquire about the situation.
"How could he disappear peacefully in your manor?"
"Severus, I can't explain this to you right now."
"Then please tell me, I have plenty of time."
"This……"
"Now that he's missing, you can't hide such an important thing from me anymore, Lucius, tell me, did he really disappear in your manor, or is your manor just a cover and he doesn't live in your manor at all?"
"Don't ask, Severus. This is a warning from a friend. There are some things you'd better not know the answers to."
"Unfortunately, I have never been a person who likes to listen to other people's warnings."
"Severus..."
Lucius was about to give some more advice when a voice came from behind him, interrupting their conversation.
When Lucius heard the familiar voice, his body stiffened instantly.
"Tell him, Lucius."
Lucius and Snape looked over at the same time.
Snape looked at the somewhat familiar but unusually handsome face, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Who are you"
Lucius, however, took a step back very respectfully and bowed slightly.
"lord"
Hearing the familiar name, Snape's pupils trembled slightly.
"you……"
"Long time no see, my subordinates"
Snape's sleeves tightened suddenly.
"lord"
Tom raised a meaningful smile.
Just by looking closely, you can see the hint of sadness and fatigue under his eyebrows.
"When did you come back, and your face"
"I've always been here. This is probably the first time you've seen me like this."
When Snape followed Tom, Tom had already begun to be disfigured.
But it was not serious at that time, and you could still vaguely see some of its past traces.
So when Snape saw Tom, he just felt familiar but didn't dare to recognize him.
"Want to know the whole story? I can tell you everything, even if you have betrayed me before."
Snape was stunned, his body tensed for a moment.
"Lord, where did you get this from?"
"Where should I start? I don't want to hear your explanation, and I don't care whether you betrayed me or not. I'm just asking you now, do you want to protect Ling Bai?"
Snape's breath hitched at the sound of the familiar name.
An unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.
"You were the one who took him away that year"
Tom nodded.
"It was indeed me who took him away, and I personally raised him, and he called me father."
Snape's joints cracked as he squeezed them.
A huge and uncontrollable anger almost cut the string of his sanity.
"No wonder, that's why he had such a big reaction after he knew his identity."
"Indeed, I thought I could keep it a secret from him for a few more years, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't keep it a secret."
Snape closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't imagine how painful the child must have felt at that time.
No wonder he was so heartbroken, no wonder he said everyone was lying to him.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. I know you are here to find Ling Bai. My purpose is the same as yours, we are both here to find him.
Some things are inconvenient to talk about here, please follow me."
There is a room in Malfoy Manor that belongs exclusively to Tom.
At this time, there were only Tom and Snape in the room.
"Sit down, you don't need to be too nervous"
Snape hesitated, then sat down.
He really didn't realize Tom's murderous intention.
In other words, the Tom now is completely different from the Tom in his memory.
"Before I tell you the whole story, you have to answer me a question first."
Snape's eyes were cold, but he still responded to Tom's words.
"You will protect him well and won't let him get hurt, right?"
Both of them knew who he was.
"certainly"
"You know I mean more than that, Snape. Although he and Harry Potter are both children of Lily Potter, don't think of him as a substitute for Lily."
“I wouldn’t do that, and I’ve never thought about doing that.”
"So if he and Harry Potter are on opposite sides and it's your turn to make a choice, who will you choose?"
Snape clenched his hands on the armrest suddenly, veins bulging.
"He won't, he won't stand against Harry Potter"
Tom suddenly laughed out loud.
"You are really smart and you really understand him well."
"I am his professor, so I naturally understand him"
"Okay, then I'll tell you about what happened between him and me."
Tom roughly recounted what happened between him and Ling Bai. Although he omitted a lot of content, Snape could still vaguely hear that something was wrong.
"Ling Bai's appearance always makes me feel that it is an opportunity given by God to pull me out of the abyss. I suddenly feel that it is really boring to go against that old guy Dumbledore. I have no interest in him anymore. It is enough for me to have him by my side."
"You...you don't intend to stick to your pure-blood ideals anymore."
Tom nodded.
