Snape's personal assistant

"What the hell is going on here? Frozen is not the reaction that ordinary people should have when they meet a dementor. The face of the thousand-year-old iceberg rarely shows human emotion. Snape twisted his hands, his messy black hair was flying in the wind, he Looks a little crazy.

"As I explained, he is a feathered man. Dementors are not life-threatening to him for the time being, as long as we help him thaw in time." Dumbledore flicked his wand, although the leaves and branches kept rustling in the night wind, they The place where they stood facing each other was very quiet.

"Thaw, did you have a microwave oven at that time, how about I go to the second-hand market in the Muggle world to buy one?" Snape's voice had a strong taste of sarcasm.

"Sev, it's not as serious as you think. You just need to prepare the potion for him. Yuren's self-healing ability is very strong."

"Yuren, heh, Yuren, if it didn't really appear in front of me, I would really think that it only exists in myths and legends. You don't tell me anything, but you still expect me to do you that little favor!" Snape growled, real anger flashing across his bony face. "I spied for you, lied for you, put myself in danger for you. Everything I did was to protect Lily Potter's son. Now you're telling me I raised him to slaughter him like a pig— —This time, what is Lin Kaiwei, the secret weapon against the mysterious man? Why are you so sure that I will listen to you, you take all this for granted, Dumbledore! Maybe I have to change my mind!"

"I never said that I would send Harry to his death. This is a responsibility he should face and bear. We will always protect him. As for Lin Kaiwei, his appearance was an accident. I hope that from now on you will not Get entangled with him, you have your own work to do, Sev, and you're putting him in danger."

Snape said nothing, just looked straight at Dumbledore.

"You make me sick," said Dumbledore, his voice was full of disgust, and Snape trembled, "Have you forgotten Lily, haven't you always been in love with her, then stay away from Lin Kaiwei .Protect Harry, the rest has nothing to do with you."

"At least keep him safe," Snape said hoarsely. "To keep him at Hogwarts surrounded by dementors is to send him to his death. Get rid of him."

"Then you can guarantee that you will never see him and not drag him into this whirlpool? Don't be kidding, Sev, his identity alone can't get him out of this quagmire, he has already sunk in."

Snape squatted down in pain, Dumbledore stood aside and looked down at him coldly.After a moment, Snape looked up, and it looked like he had been in pain for over 100 years.

"Don't go any further, Sev, do you still remember Lily Evans' eyes?" Dumbledore said coldly, "If you love Lily Evans, if you really love her, then what should you do in the future?" It's clear which way to go."

Snape's breathing became thinner.This made him feel very contradictory, and his patron saint changed unconsciously and became a fire phoenix.

"What's the use of you doing this now?" Dumbledore smiled, "Has the Black Magic Mark changed again?"

Snape was immersed in the haze of pain, and Dumbledore's words seemed to reach his ears after a long time.

"Lucius' Dark Mark has also started to turn black. Now that he is willing to side with us, you have to keep him. You know how much he helped the Ministry of Magic after the Dark Lord fell." Snape The profile of Dumbledore's hooked nose seen from the side.

"Of course, multiple comrades-in-arms are better than multiple enemies." Dumbledore affirmed, he suddenly raised his scorched useless hand, his expression seemed to be looking at something interesting, "Sev, do you think I still have for how long?"

Dumbledore's tone was very calm, as if he was asking about tomorrow's weather.Snape hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure. Maybe another year. There is no way to get rid of this curse. It will spread sooner or later. It's the kind of spell that gets stronger the longer it lasts."

Dumbledore smiled.Knowing that he had less than a year to live didn't seem to hurt him much: "One year, enough. I learned something interesting from Horace, that number, it should be seven. Your black magic Marks are coming back, I believe he has found one, and now, there are three left."

There was a brief silence.

"You think you'll be able to find out within a year?"

"Maybe not, so, when my time is approaching, I want you to kill me."

They were silent for a long time, until they were broken by a strange ticking sound.That was Phoenix Fox pecking at the tree. By the way, he brought a message from Madam Pomfrey that Assistant Professor Lin had returned to normal.

"Once the school does fall into his clutches," said Dumbledore softly, "you once swore to me that you would do everything in your power to protect the students of Hogwarts, right?"

Snape nodded vigorously.

"Now add one more person, Lin Kaiwei, after all, I was the one who pulled him into this quagmire." His voice was light, but his blue eyes were fixed on Snape, as if the person they were discussing was right in front of them. .

"I'll do it if you don't tell me."

"You've been braver than Sirius so far. You know, I sometimes feel that our sorting is too hasty..." Dumbledore looked tired, "Come on, go see Kai Wei."

"No, I always thought our sorting was good." After finishing speaking, Snape walked away, leaving Dumbledore who looked a little surprised.

Lin Kaiwei's fingers trembled slightly. He was woken up by Dumbledore and Snape. The freezing cold made him a little uncomfortable. He moved his eyes from the pure white ceiling to the side, and found that Dumbledore and Snape were both He was staring at himself with a serious expression of studying the life and death plans of the magic world.

Madam, what is this going to do? Mr. Teaching Assistant was frightened, he quickly glanced at his body out of the corner of his eye, and confirmed that he did not genetically mutate into Spiderman, Superman or something to save the world just because he was frightened by a dementor. great man. (Please, Yuren is already exaggerating enough.)

It's okay, it's okay, nothing has changed, Assistant Professor Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Snape bent down, turned the manual spring slightly, adjusted the angle of the hospital bed, let Lin Kaiwei sit up, and then took out two bottles of potion from the space pocket with lightning speed and jingle bells, and poured them into Lin Kaiwei.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Lin Kaiwei has been focusing on the taste of Huoxiangzhengqi water for 30 years. After coughing for a long time, he realized that breathing is not so uncomfortable, so he stopped and gasped, "Sev, we can pay attention to the taste of the potion."

Then he was quickly killed by the eyes of the potions master.

"Is there anything uncomfortable?" Dumbledore approached the hospital bed, touched Lin Kaiwei's forehead, and checked the temperature.

Although very old, Professor Dumbledore always gave the impression of being energetic.His hair and beard are several feet long, he wears semi-circular glasses and his nose is hooked badly.People often say that he is the greatest wizard living today, but Lim Kaiwei respects him not because of this.For some reason, he couldn't help but trust Professor Dumbledore. When Lin Kaiwei saw him smiling, he felt that he had really calmed down for the first time.

"Don't worry." Professor Dumbledore said, his beard glistening in the light of the candle, "The professors have searched the Hogwarts Express, and there are no escaped dementors. As for the other dementors Strange, the Ministry of Magic sent them to station at all the entrances of the school grounds, I have already set up a barrier, they cannot even step in. Your physique is special, it is better not to leave the castle for the time being."

Lin Kaiwei felt that his muscles were sore and sore, and the taste of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water on the tip of his tongue had not yet dissipated. He nodded to Dumbledore to show that he understood.

"Have a good rest, we'll pick you up and leave the hospital tomorrow." After speaking, Dumbledore left with Snape.
