HP's Lost and the Lighthouse

After Voldemort's death, the Death Eaters fell quickly-although many diehard Death Eaters such as Bellatrix refused to admit Voldemort's departure, the arrest and trial of the Death Eaters began soon up.

Snape was almost one of the first Death Eaters to be arrested—he was not a well-known Death Eater, but his identity was not a secret. Apparently, many people in the Order of the Phoenix learned from Potter and the others. Having heard of his status as a Death Eater, Snape, who served at Hogwarts and did not escape, was almost immediately taken into Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

Snape didn't care much about this, in fact, he didn't even feel anything going on around him.

——There is nothing that makes him more desperate than Lily's death, even if it is a dementor?The flame of his life ended at the moment of Lily's death, and after that, all that remained were flickering embers, and even without the dementors, would he not be able to stop thinking about her for a moment when she died?

Dumbledore came the day after Snape was imprisoned in Azkaban, and with him was the newly appointed Minister of Magic, Fudge, a fat middle-aged man.

"Dumbledore, I don't understand why you insist on seeing this Death Eater—" The man who has worked in the Ministry of Magic for more than ten years followed behind the old man, with a look of trepidation on his face—he can't be blamed After all, compared to him, the Minister of Magic who was lucky enough to take office because of the downfall of the Death Eaters, people would pay more attention to Dumbledore, the white wizard who led everyone to defeat two Dark Lords, "Snape is indeed a foodie Dead Apostle, and he does have the Dark Mark on his arm—"

"I didn't mean that the Ministry of Magic caught the wrong person," Dumbledore replied mildly, without slowing down at all, "but Death Eaters are not necessarily bad people who support Voldemort-I think at least this One is not."

He noticed that Fudge shuddered at the name, and he sighed inwardly.

"Professor, if he's not a bad guy, then why did he join the Death Eaters—" Fujira argued with a long voice, his expression full of disapproval, and if it wasn't for the gloomy atmosphere of Azkaban, he would have laughed out loud.

"Let me talk to him alone, please?" The old man ignored the other party's question and asked firmly and unquestionably.

Fudge met Dumbledore's sharp blue eyes hidden behind the half-moon glasses, and flinched involuntarily. He seemed a little unwilling, but he still said: "Okay, the round ahead is Snape's cell. Not going in--I mean, if you insist on a private talk."

The old man nodded: "Thank you, Fudge, I think it's best." He raised his wand and walked outside Snape's cell alone with his Patronus.

Snape was sitting on his single stone bed, looking out through the window grating, and feeling Dumbledore's gaze, he turned his head slowly.

"Dumbledore," he twitched the corners of his mouth, as if trying to give a polite smile, but in the end it just made his expression look like a mocking smirk, "I guess you've seen— The Death Eaters are gone, there's nothing to threaten that kid—" he said, his lips twitching in almost subconscious disgust.

Dumbledore almost felt pity for the Slytherin child in front of him. He waved his wand and commanded the huge and radiant Phoenix Patronus to slowly circle around the two of them.

"I'm afraid I'll have to stick to my guns, Severus—Voldemort will return, as I've discussed with you before."

"So what?" Snape seemed a little annoyed, "I'm a Death Eater! - just one trial away, and I'll belong here completely!" He scrunched his face and stared at Dumbledore profitable.

"I think you're in better shape than I expected, Severus."

Snape turned his face away for the inappropriate answer, he folded his hands on his chest, and looked a little annoyed.

"I suppose it's a function of duty, isn't it? You're a sensible boy, Severus." Dumbledore ignored his defiant 'I'm not...', "I can understand your sadness— We all understand how hopeless the thing you experienced not long ago is—but obviously you are much stronger than your former colleagues." He pointed to the cubicle not far away lying on the ground and mumbled One of the Death Eaters.

Snape stared at him sullenly, but said nothing.

"I will ask the Ministry of Magic to arrange your trial as soon as possible, Severus - although I think they would like to announce that all Death Eaters will be imprisoned in Azkaban sooner." Dumbledore smiled - almost Reassuringly, "I think the Hogwarts children will soon find out that the rumors about changing potions professors don't have much truth to them."

He looked at the indifferent Snape, and sighed—to be honest, he didn't want to use that name to provoke the other party—the behavior of asking Snape to protect Harry in Lily's name before was already a little bit in his opinion Excessive, however...

"Severus, you're our spy, and you'll come back to us - you know - for Lily's baby."

He looked at Snape who seemed to have been slapped on the head, and he didn't say any more guiltily—the kind of painful wound that almost killed a person was found and dug up after being found and dug up. Lido is not ignorant.

"Spy?" Snape repeated sarcastically. "Is that why you found me?"

He met Dumbledore's guilty gaze, and lowered his eyes as if he had been scalded.

"I see."
