The leader of HP arrives

"Severus Snape."

"Who are you?" The sunlight came in through the door, slightly dispelling the strong smell of alcohol in the room, Severus struggled to hold up his swollen eyelids, and looked at the witch in front of him in a daze, "What's the matter, Narcissa ?”

"Severus Snape." Narcissa's usual delicate and beautiful face grew old for the first time, "Regulus disappeared, Lucius was arrested, and the Death Eaters fled around like bereaved dogs, all of this Everything is your fault. Severus Snape, you betrayed Slytherin, betrayed the master!"

Severus opened his mouth and felt a pain in his thirsty throat, he just grunted and did not refute Narcissa's accusation.It doesn't matter if the vampire's deception or the Order of the Phoenix's misunderstanding, but in fact, it is true that I brewed the potion with my own hands, and it is true that I betrayed the master. Climbed to the top of Slytherin, and then - personally destroyed the glory of Slytherin.

"Mrs. Malfoy, the great master will be angry, and the master will not allow you to treat Mr. Snape like this." Kaka appeared in the living room with a plate of bread, and hesitantly glanced at the blood at the corner of Severus' mouth, Noticing Narcissa's swollen palm, he immediately stretched out his finger and cast a healing spell on Severus.

"Severus Snape, all of this is your fault. Do you think that Dumbledore protected you and that you can escape all this by hiding in the Muggle world?" Narcissa glanced at the card Kaka threw a Cruciatus casually, the house-elf's shrill voice sounded, but was terminated by a silencing spell, Kaka's green body twisted and rolled on the floor struggling.

"What else can I do?" Severus hesitated for a while, reached out for his wand and interrupted Narcissa's torture of the house-elf, reached out for a bottle of energy potion and poured it into his mouth.The bitter taste of the potion woke him up a bit. The pale and emaciated witch looked like another Bellatrix, but she was not going to go to the Death Eater traitor's house to get one at such a sensitive time. The house-elf vented his anger.

"Get my husband, Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy from Azkaban." Narcissa stared straight at Severus's distressed look with sharp eyes, and the expression on her face seemed Calm but somewhat crazy, "This is what you owe the Malfoy family, Severus Snape."

The wish of the mistress of the Malfoy family finally made Severus leave Spider's End for the first time a week earlier. Kaka shivered and ironed Severus's only decent magic robe, watching her back The bleak potion master disappeared into thin air.

The formerly prosperous and luxurious Voldemort Manor was left with only faint ruins. Severus silently stretched out his hand and pushed open the mottled gate. The silver-green crystals that were originally inlaid on it had been artificially pried off, leaving only some fine crystals scattered on the ground.After being ransacked, the manor looked empty and desolate, and almost all the valuables had been removed. The magic roses in the garden were in full bloom as before, and the brilliant colors set off the declining manor, which was extremely ironic.

Severus took a deep breath, and strode into his room. Almost all the potion notes on the bookshelf disappeared, and the remaining few books were scattered on the carpet, and a few bottles of dragon's blood ink It was knocked over on the carpet, and the ink stains blurred the words on the note.This made Severus' face even more ugly, he glanced cautiously around the room, reached out his wand and cast a few spells on the desk, stretched out his hand and opened a small hidden compartment, some parchment and a few A small potion bottle appeared in the dark compartment.Severus breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the parchment and the potion bottle into his pocket, took out a small portkey from his pocket, and read out the activation password.

The portkey brought a brief moment of dizziness, and Severus opened his eyes to find himself sitting on a wooden high-backed chair.He struggled a bit, straightened his shoulders and sat up, and met Dumbledore's sky blue eyes behind the glasses without any surprise.

"I'm very glad that you are willing to teach at Hogwarts, Severus." Dumbledore looked at the Slytherin wizard in front of him for a while, but did not get more information from Severus' face, so he knocked He knocked on the table and summoned two cups of lemon and honey tea, "The hot drink will make you feel better. Slughorn recommended you to me, and he thinks your talent in potions is enough for any job as a potions professor. I'm glad you chose justice in the end, Severus. Not any wizard has the courage to face up to one's past mistakes and correct them."

"I'd be happy to accept the offer from Hogwarts." Severus raised his glass, but the viscous color in the glass made him hesitate, and he put it back again, "I—"

"What are you trying to say, my boy?" Dumbledore blinked, noticing Severus' struggling expression.

"I, I regret everything I have done." Severus paused, and said the first line, the voice that had been lingering in his throat finally found an outlet, "I regret it, it was me Killed Lily, these are my sins."

"No, you have to blame yourself so much, my child." Dumbledore's eyes flickered, as if to measure the truth and falsehood of Severus' words, "You did your best, Severus, you Betrayed the Death Eaters for that, didn't you? We all know how much you risked poisoning You-Know-Who, you're braver than any Order wizard, Severus. And you protected Lily's baby, Harry Potter. Yes, you protected the savior of the wizarding world, and that's Lily's wish too, isn't it?"

"Actually, I didn't do it alone. Lucius—he gave me the formula for the potion, but the Malfoy family is a Slytherin family. No one would believe it. In fact, Lucius has always been I hate fighting. Master, no, the mysterious man used the Dark Mark to control him, and for the sake of the Malfoy family, he was forced to—" Severus pursed his lips, did not continue, reached out and took out a The potion bottle wrapped in parchment was placed on the table, "This is the formula of Wolfsbane potion. Lucius has always been very guilty. The Death Eaters caused many innocent wizards to be infected with Wolfsbane, so he helped me develop it together. took this potion."

Dumbledore's eyes lingered on the potion bottle for a moment, then took a deep look at Severus' gloomy expression.Wolfsbane Potion, this was the formula he had always hoped Severus would hand over, but he never let go.When Severus left Hogwarts, Wolfsbane Potion was close to success. If Lucius made any contribution, it was nothing more than providing money and medicinal materials.

"Mr. Malfoy's trial is just one hour away. I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy to the Wizengamot court, if you are willing to testify in court, Severus." Dumbledore hesitated for a few seconds, took off his glasses and wiped them After a while, a compromise was finally made, "As long as Mr. Malfoy is really under the control of the Dark Mark, I don't think the British wizarding world will refuse a kind wizard to change his ways."

Severus reluctantly curled the corner of his lower lip, but said nothing.Turning to Dumbledore and appearing in the Wizengamot court as a tainted witness is meaningless except to further corroborate his identity as a Slytherin traitor, or in other words, apart from joining the Order of the Phoenix and becoming a real traitor, he has already There is no other choice.

"As long as you name a Death Eater accomplice, you can prove your innocence, Lucius Malfoy." Crouch tapped the gavel a few times to get everyone's attention.In fact, using Dumbledore's prestige to personally vouch for Malfoy has basically decided the fate of Lucius Malfoy.However, there were not many Slytherin wizards who participated in the attack that day. In order to arrest more hidden Death Eaters, every arrested Slytherin wizard asked for a list of Death Eaters.

The life in Azkaban made the earl look haggard, but he still straightened his shoulders and looked directly at Crouch.

"This is the rule, Lucius Malfoy, you are obliged to answer the questions raised by the court."

"Of course, I'm happy to answer your question, Your Honor." Lucius glanced at Dumbledore, then turned his gaze back to Crouch, with a bright malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm happy to fulfill my duties." The duty of a good citizen, I will tell you about a secret Death Eater who has been in charge of You-Know-Who's secrets, of prying into the secrets of the Gryffindor family, and of course all of you here. The attack on Gorwick's Hollow was also Out of his plan."

"He is You-Know-Who's most loyal and fanatical follower, one of the most ruthless Death Eaters. I'd be happy to offer my memory, or take Veritaserum as evidence, and that wizard's name is—" Lucius paused After a while, he reached out and picked up the veritaserum that had been prepared in the court and drank it down. It seemed that the cold taste of the veritaserum made him feel comfortable. Name, "Barty Crouch Jr."

Lucius' unexpected behavior caused the trial to be delayed for another three days. After trying various methods such as insanity, veritaserum, and magic contracts, Crouch seemed to give up this futile recovery. Issued a warrant for Barty Crouch Jr., then resigned as Wizengamot Supreme Judge.

"Mr. Severus Snape, thank you for your help." Lucius hypocritically curled his lips and walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Magic, but only the black figure of Severus was in sight.

"Narcisa——a week ago." Severus took a deep breath, not daring to look at Lucius' expression, "A week ago, Narcissa came to see me, and the Daily Prophet said that the Order of the Phoenix and Food The dead wizards fought fiercely in Diagon Alley, and more than a dozen wizards were affected. Three wizards died on the way to St. Mungo. Drake was left in the manor at the time, and Narcissa opened Malfoy Manor No one can enter the magic circle except members of the Malfoy family."

"Thank you for telling me, Mr. Snape." Lucius was silent for a while, and still thanked politely with the corners of his lips hooked. Holding his platinum cane, he turned and walked towards Malfoy Manor.

"Severus—"

Severus looked up sharply, but the figure of the platinum nobleman had disappeared behind a carriage.

"Severus—the Dark Mark—hasn't gone yet." The rumble of wheels on the road covered Lucius' voice, and it was hard to discern the platinum noble's deliberately muffled sentence, and Severus covered it with his hand Caught his left arm.The Dark Mark has not disappeared, what does Lucius want to explain - is it a satire that even if he joins the Order of the Phoenix, he still cannot abandon his identity as a Death Eater, or reminds himself of the sin of betraying Slytherin?

Severus felt his heartbeat stop suddenly, and subconsciously rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, the black marks were clearly printed on his skin, except that the huge boa constrictor no longer moved, it was as fresh as when it was just stabbed live.The Dark Mark is a spell that acts directly on the soul, which is why most Death Eaters escaped judgment under the pretext of being controlled by the Dark Mark.The Dark Mark has not disappeared—whether what Lucius wanted to imply to himself meant that the master still lived in this world.
