The Mortal

little bit.But once the interrogation started, Harry had to suspect that since someone wanted to frame Snape, they wouldn't pass up the opportunity to dig up more secrets.

He knew Snape knew this too, because he could feel the unease and stiffness that had been repressed.

"That's not reliable," Kent retorted. "You are a master of potions. If you can even fool the mysterious man's instigmatism, why should we believe that you won't research a potion that resists Veritaserum?"

That fucking sounded so damn reasonable. Snape's ability was as blameless as his unpopularity, Harry thought, and the reason he remained calm was because he still had a move to make.

"No need." He broke free from the restraints on his hands, and gently stroked the back of Snape's hand before breaking away completely, trying to convey some comfort, maybe, he just did it subconsciously. "I can make sure that he didn't go out during that time. You can ask someone to check the warning and protective spells here. If anyone comes in or out, I will know as soon as possible."

Kent looked at him in surprise, then smiled playfully. "Are you confessing to me your infraction?"

"I'm giving you solid proof."

"But he is one of the most powerful wizards living, and I have no doubts about his ability to escape your spell."

"Then you should apply to speak to St. Mungo's," Harry said. "He has lost his magic power after waking up, so it is impossible to meet your assumption."

Kent's smile froze on his face.

Harry wasn't worried about himself, not at all.He knew how much privilege the shining halo of the Savior would bring him, and although he didn't like it, it worked, and at worst he wouldn't enter Azkaban because of it.In comparison, the exposure of the former spy's physical condition is more likely to cause danger, but it is much better than going directly with the dementors.

This is already the best result, and what he needs to do next is to find out the mastermind behind these things and expose them to the sun, so that all crimes can be blamed.

But he didn't find any disappointment on Kent's face, or any pity or unwillingness - it is true that Kent is not a bad person, but considering how much he hates Slytherin, it doesn't seem like a normal reaction.

"I'm sorry to hear that." With that weird worry and sigh, Kent shook his head, but there was no sincerity in the words. "Do you know why this mission is accompanied by a third-party recorder? To maintain objectivity and impartiality. Because before I came, someone came up with another hypothesis, which I didn't want to consider, but now-"

Harry signaled him to continue with silence.

"We all know your defense of Mr. Snape. If you have to speak with facts, it probably dates back to your aggressive behavior against law enforcement agencies during your testimony two years ago."

Harry glanced uncomfortably at Snape, who was glaring at him in shock.

"And your relationship now." Kent roughly gestured around the room and continued. "Considering the deep friendship between the two of you, we have to assume how far you are willing to go for him."

"What do you mean?" Harry was a little confused.

"Ridiculous," Snape said suddenly and emphatically. "That's impossible."

"Trust me, I don't want to think about it that way," Kent told him, spreading his hands.

"He's the one who fought the Dark Lord for seven years and brought victory in the end." Snape's voice was terribly low, and for the first time tonight Harry detected leaked anger in him. "Whoever did those things wouldn't give up his stupid sense of justice to become someone's accomplice for any reason. Doubting the integrity of the Savior is the most unreasonable joke of the century."

"But he's trying to protect you—almost inhumanely, you know. Pending trial is just a normal procedure, and if you're really innocent, then what's the fear? But he won't back down from even that." Kent said worriedly. "As for Mr. Potter's moral standards, I don't deny the great contribution he has made to the wizarding world. But there are no absolutes in the world, and he has always been brave enough to challenge."

"That's just one of the traits any Gryffindor would love to have," Snape said coldly.

"Maybe." The pity was fleeting, and Kent sounded terribly distressed. "But not every Gryffindor will let the Muggles in the small town of Corim die innocently." He turned to the young man whose face turned pale instantly and said slowly. "You understand?"

"That matter... has been settled for a long time." Harry closed his eyes, he did not explain to Snape. "I made the right choice at the time, as your director can attest to."

"That's not important," Kent said. "There may be people in the court who don't think so. There was a lot of controversy at the time. You know, we took into account your obstruction in this law enforcement from the very beginning, so we have special personnel to record every detail to make sure FYI. If you insist on refusing to cooperate, then your suspicion of being an accomplice or even a mastermind will take up a greater proportion-the motive of subduing Muggle society as a savior has many people guessing, and if someone can easily commit This series of cases has not been discovered, I think there are not so many people who are eligible to be suspected."

It's just a perfect cycle.

Harry stood still and began to think about the meaning behind this - if he handed over Snape, the subsequent things would not be under his control (does the justice still have much credibility); if he insisted on defending Snape, the two of them would Both will be in a bad situation.As for escaping directly?He knew how to deal with the four people in front of him within 3 minutes. Although the two Aurors behind were waiting for orders, they didn't relax for a moment, but it was probably in the enemy's arms-

He suddenly realized that this huge and sophisticated trap was never just aimed at Snape, but also had a more important target - Harry Potter - himself.

His enemies know the information inside the Auror and use it. The details of the mission in Korim Town are non-public content that will not be open to the public, and only the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have permission to read it.He quickly ran over faces that were familiar or unfamiliar in his mind, as if everyone was suspicious and everyone couldn't believe it.The heart was pounding, and there was a sharp roar in the ear, stop, Dr. Green's voice came from a distant space, you have to believe, Harry, endless doubts will make you nowhere to survive.

But how can he stop.A wandering life is like a boat sailing on the vast sea all year round. He stumbled and walked in the rolling waves for 20 years and couldn't find an island that could land.

"I accept the investigation." A clear sentence came from the side. "Mr. Potter was just blinded by a moment of recklessness, and certainly not-"

"Shut up." Harry snapped at him immediately. "Don't even think about it."

"This matter itself has nothing to do with you, and if you're willing to help, you should do less of a misleading act." Snape looked at him almost reproachfully.

Yes, so you need to make a contribution, Harry cursed in his heart, you still have the courage to laugh at my heroism - you dare to say it again - try it again - now who is throwing himself into the net like a messenger of justice?This kind of good thing can't be your turn, it won't be your turn in this life, who made you fucking use up all the opportunities in the past 20 years, and now I won't give you a single cent.

"You're not in charge, Snape. I'm the one to negotiate terms." He looked straight at Kent as he said this, and Kent returned the same look.Then he took a sudden step forward, and quickly drew his wand out with his right hand.

Snape didn't have time to stop him.

The Aurors on both sides of Kent immediately drew out their wands and pointed at the Savior. The witch, who had been busy recording all the time, retreated indifferently to the wall, her quill strokes making a rustling sound on the floating parchment.

"Are you really going to do this?" Kent whispered.The two of them were so close that the tip of Harry's wand was almost pressed against his chest, and Kent's fingers stopped just as they touched the wand at his waist.

The tense atmosphere made the air extremely sticky, and the two Aurors watched his movements without blinking, even though they were infinitely close to stillness.

Harry didn't give his attention to anyone else.He is so stable-the straight back has no slight curvature, the shoulders are spread out, and the bent arms are fixed in mid-air like a cement sculpture without shaking. It seems that he can live like this for a century.

"You can't catch us." He stated the facts calmly, and this made the tense strings almost snap, and several heavy breathing sounds accompanied by swallowing. "I can make sure of that."

No one will doubt the truth of this statement.

Then, while everyone was staring at him wide-eyed, Harry flicked his wrist slightly, twisting his fingers to point his wand at the ground.He moved his arm forward a little, resting the back of his hand over Kent's heart.

"Take it." He ordered calmly.

The legs of the other two hapless Aurors were going limp in fright, not to mention the dangling wand tip - Snape doubted that half a spell would ever be cast there.

They stalemate for a long time.
