The Mortal

e points out, with a touch of probing.

"I'm sure they're capable enough to handle things over there. Just because I'm called a savior doesn't mean I'm omnipotent, and I don't think I'm better than Hermione in anything other than magical power." Snape was noncommittal to his boast. "Besides, I always think that the Muggle side is the bigger threat."

"intuition?"

"You have to admit that Gryffindor's intuition works well sometimes," Harry argued. "And I can think too, okay?"

Snape smirked for an unbearable tirade.But Harry felt that there might be a bit of a real smile hidden in it.

Talking peacefully with Snape wasn't as difficult as it seemed.

When you have the ability to come and go freely in the MI5 dealing with national security, and have a strong curiosity, you will no longer be naive about any level of conspiracy and political games. Harry had been wandering around the MI5 complex with the convenience of his cloak for a while now - just aimlessly adventurous, he had no intention of telling me anything.

But it also allowed him to learn more about the world he had never experienced before.He likes the case-handling plots similar to those in the film, and he will watch interesting confessions outside the interrogation room, but more of them are the creepiness and shock that can be unpredictable to people's hearts-from then on, he will not underestimate every seemingly weak ordinary person.In the process of discussing with Snape, Harry was once again amazed at his keenness and knowledge. Although Snape was not familiar with the Muggle operating system, he was able to find appropriate and reasonable explanations in various ways, so that Harry thought he needed Many of the expositions made do not make much sense.

"You told me that motive and purpose could be closer to the truth, so I've been wondering what the point of doing these attacks is," Harry said.

"It might help if you could try to find a party to benefit from."

"I believe that almost all of MI5 has been searched, but since it was confirmed that wizards were involved, some people think that this is something we have done. The people in the special team have some knowledge of related matters in the magic world, and it is understandable to think that black wizards are doing evil. " He smiled, "I'm really in a very awkward situation, both sides regard me as an imaginary enemy to guard against."

"To hold you back as much as possible, I think you should take back your 'good thing' talk," Snape said. "Sometimes force isn't the hardest part."

"You're right." Harry sighed softly. "Especially when it comes to politics - I actually slipped out to meet Ed in the middle of the night last night and he gave me a more detailed profile so I wouldn't be ignorant of what was going on."

And the meaning behind that is much trickier than imagined. Ed said that he had noticed a strange transfer of personnel by accident. He didn't know what the specific task was, but the time coincided with Harry's arrival in Muggle society. Harry asked him if he knew whether MI5 had arranged for people to monitor Bethel Street, Ed said he had never heard of it, but he would not rule out the possibility of internal problems.

Harry waved over a light brown folder, and he pulled out a few sheets of paper to show Snape, with the familiar messy lettering on them.

"Look at these." He circled a few words. "Members, Labor Party rallies, cabinet members. All the accidents belonged to the Labor Party faction, including the terrorist attack in the East End, which also had a bad influence on their reputation for some reasons. I dare not say whether there are other internal factors, But this one stands out.”

The structure of the British government is not difficult to understand. Among the members of parliament elected by the general election, the group with the majority of seats becomes the cabinet, and the leader of this faction is the prime minister.Although there are many parties in the House of Commons, every British person knows that every conflict of power is mainly between the Conservative Party and the Labor Party, so some things need not be said. MI5 are not idiots, but this is not a society where people can be accused of crimes based on assumptions, they have no evidence (probably due to wizards), no accurate suspects - they can't just arrest and torture the entire Conservative Party ?The headline on the cover of The Sun the next day should have been "The country is doomed."

"Although we all know that the Conservative Party is the best beneficiary of this series of events, there are no absolutes in the world, and we cannot give up other possibilities. The judicial system of Muggles is much more complicated and rigorous than that of wizards. Without evidence, it is all empty talk." Harry Rubbing between the eyebrows, these things are really a headache.

"Any system is defined by people. Sometimes the interference of rights can completely affect the so-called justice, or open up shortcuts." Snape gave him a deep look. "You are a wizard, Potter, and your power is your right."

So you don't have to follow Muggle laws, you can use Veritaserum, Invisibility Charms, whatever effective conveniences you can get your way. Snape didn't say it, but Harry knew what he wanted to say.

"I know." He responded. "I've never been one to follow the rules, sir. For that... I need your help."

Snape was puzzled by the seriousness and caution in his tone.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked.

Harry opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't make a sound right away.The young man who had been speaking freely a minute ago seemed to have suddenly encountered a problem, and Snape couldn't help guessing what could make him hesitate.

He made a lot of Gryffindor-like conjectures at once, even including an offensive request that only Potter a few years ago (although he didn't want to praise the grown-up Potter now), but he never expected that It's gonna be about the worst part between them-

"I want to learn Legilimency, Professor," Harry said.

They stared at each other for a moment, as if something awaited confirmation. Harry gently squeezed his palms together, sweat dripping from his palms, but he still looked back without moving.

"I think..." Snape said slowly, biting each word with great clarity. "This can't be considered a good spell, and you made a decision after careful consideration."

"You used to say routine wasn't for me," Harry said calmly. "It's a wizard's advantage, and I guess it does sometimes have to be worked around in order to avoid more damage - even though I still don't agree with the Aurors' direct right to judge, I've been a part of it and now I know where the line is, it's just for Final confirmation just in case - I'd rather not use it the day."

"I have no intention of censoring your morals, Potter."

"That is……"

Harry gave a slightly confused look, Snape looked stiff as a cement shell, something was wrong, and it made his stomach churn.He'd expected Snape to be the most to scold him for being overreaching or about to be a disrespectful invasion of someone's privacy, but there must be something else.

"You can ask others for advice." Snape asked softly. "why me?"

"I don't think anyone can do it better than you." Harry replied, "I've checked that magic such as Legilimency and Occlumency are mainly controlled by mental power, and magic power is more like an introduction. It doesn't take much, I think you can still do it now - and if you can't, you can beat me with theoretical knowledge." He smiled, "Besides, I can't accept anyone else into my head- "

The sound stopped abruptly. Harry opened his eyes wide, suddenly realizing the point of the matter.

"Oh, no, fuck, I'm an idiot." He felt flustered like he hadn't felt in a long time. "I'm not—you don't think I'm going to test Legilimency on you, do you?"

Obviously, Snape couldn't respond with an outright negative, maybe some bad memories overshadowed their weak trust for a while - but thankfully at least he was still in the hesitation stage before insulting, maybe the young man The previous firm defense of him was still playing out.

And Harry's guilt was at an unprecedented peak - if you look at it from another angle, he just looked like a bastard who planned to use justified reasons to force Snape, and he almost said hey I want to visit and play in your brain, this is for the case you Can't say no - asshole, absolutely.

"I swear I didn't think about it for a second," Harry said frankly. "I just thought maybe you could show me it again, like you did when you trained me in Occlumency. But I definitely don't, and Would never do that to you."

He leaned forward a little closer. Snape wavered a little, and seemed to listen to his explanation.

"This proposal sucks, I shouldn't have said it." Harry moved his fingers hesitantly, "Sorry, I really didn't mean it-maybe I was so focused on the case that my brain froze. Anyway, please Forget about it, as if I didn't mention it."

He tentatively placed his hand on the back of Snape's, a light touch without pressure. Snape looked down at their hands for a few seconds without waving them away.

"I'll think about it," Snape said, sounding emotionless.

Whether to accept it or to forget it, he didn't say.
