HP's Lost and the Lighthouse

However, the reason why the world is often impermanent is that it does not follow people's wishes, and Snape soon received news from Dumbledore that was not as good as he hoped.

"Nicole was attacked by a dark wizard." Dumbledore sat in his seat and said to Head Slytherin who walked into the headmaster's room, with a stern look on his face.

"I think we need to prepare for the worst, Severus, knowing that September is when Harry starts school."

Of course Snape understood what he meant - even if he hadn't heard the original prophecy, he could guess that there was definitely some inevitable connection between the Dark Lord and Potter, especially at this sensitive time when Potter was about to return to the wizarding world point……

He suppressed the dryness in his throat.

"You think it's the Dark Lord?"

Dumbledore looked a little surprised, even as if taken aback by his thought: "No, why would you think so?"

"But you know—he has a lot of followers, even at Hogwarts, there were many students who worshiped Voldemort's ideas—" The old man frowned, resting his chin on his fingertips thoughtfully , "I think there are many people who want him to come back from the dead and lead the Death Eaters again?"

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly - of course there are many, but most of those people are in Azkaban, Dumbledore should know this too, and he mentioned Hogwarts students before - so Said that the old man already had a suspect.

"Who do you think was the dark wizard who attacked Nico Flamel?" Without going around in circles, the Potions Professor asked bluntly.

Dumbledore's brow furrowed even tighter. It was hard for him to doubt someone for no reason.He sighed sadly, and instead of answering Snape's question, he said, "I think his purpose is the Philosopher's Stone, Severus, you should know something about the Philosopher's Stone."

Of course, Snape had already realized the other party's target when he heard Nicole Flamel's name. Hearing Dumbledore trying to bring this up to change the subject at this time, he couldn't help but slightly moved his eyes in displeasure.

"You think they're trying to get at the Sorcerer's Stone." He said what should have been a question into an affirmative.

"I'm afraid so," said Dumbledore.

Snape watched the old man stretch out his hand and rubbed between his brows, and suddenly sat down on the chair opposite Dumbledore: "You also want to start with the Sorcerer's Stone." He looked at him and said affirmatively, with a strange expression on his face.

"why?"

"We have no choice." The old man's blue eyes reflected the light from the window, looking firmly at the Potions Master. "We don't know anything about him—or them. Severus, we can't take anyone else risk of life."

Snape didn't make a sound, he acquiesced in the old man's decision - in fact, he would support Dumbledore's decision without any special explanation, after all, the only target that can be determined so far is the Philosopher's Stone - and Harry Potter , the child he promised.

"I've already been persuading Nicole to store the Sorcerer's Stone in Gringotts." Dumbledore said softly, which startled the young man who was slightly dazed at the thought of Potter, and quickly turned his head to look at the old man—the Sorcerer's Stone is right The meaning of Nicole Flamel is almost an open secret in the magic world, and any wizard who knows something about it knows it very well.

And if Dumbledore can get the other party to take out the Philosopher's Stone - it's almost the same as Flamel giving his life to Dumbledore.

"Are you so confident that nothing will happen to the Sorcerer's Stone?" He couldn't help but sneer, subconsciously looking away from Dumbledore's blue eyes.

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and silently lowered his eyes that seemed to be shining with unshakable light, but only for a moment, that wise gaze fell on Snape again through the half-moon-shaped lens.

"To be honest, I don't have the confidence. Severus, I'm just a mortal, just like you—but we all know that the consequences of Voldemort's return are far greater than Nicol's loss of the Philosopher's Stone—Nicole naturally Clear, I think he'll make the right decision in the end."

Snape gave a 'ha': "With your persuasion?"

For some reason, Snape secretly wished to see the old man show a little weakness or sadness - that was his friend for many years, wasn't it?But Dumbledore's raised eyes were still firm and unshakable, which annoyed him a little.

——Does this man who is hailed as the greatest white wizard by the outside world really have no emotions similar to mortals?He didn't know why he suddenly lost the desire to continue talking with Dumbledore, turned around and walked out of the principal's room with some impoliteness.

Dumbledore watched the inexplicably angry Potions Professor leaving, his blue eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't make a sound to persuade him to stay.

After a long time, the old man stood up silently until the last breath of visitors from the principal's room disappeared completely.

For some reason, the ex-principals, who usually liked to talk a lot at this time, kept quiet unanimously, which made Dumbledore almost unaccustomed.

He raised his head and took a look. He rarely could tell whether the principals were pretending or really fell asleep, so he smiled silently, walked to the branch where the Phoenix Fox perched, and stretched out his hand to caress him. The top of the pet's head was covered with soft feathers, and the downcast eyes finally showed a little tiredness.

--------

Leaving aside the influence of Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter, Snape can still be said to be quite comfortable for the rest of the semester. Hogwarts students never take the initiative to provoke the astonishing potions professor, And no one would stop him from deducting points in a somewhat eccentric way—although the head of Slytherin was never willing to deduct points from Slytherin students, his deductions from students from other colleges were relatively fair. Even the dean of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall, who has been deducted the most points, can't justly protest this-even if all the professors know that sometimes Snape's deductions are completely picking from eggs. bone.

In addition, Charlie, who has always been the main force of Gryffindor Quidditch this year, quit the Quidditch team because he was about to graduate, and Slytherin was awarded at the end of the school year almost without any suspense. House Cup - apparently one of the reasons why Head Slytherin couldn't help but keep a faint smile at the end-of-year banquet.

—But Harry Potter is coming.

The author has something to say:

Professor Dumbledore's thoughts belong to my reasonable speculation-it is really heartbreaking to see those black Deng school texts. . . . . .Refusing to believe that anyone would think so darkly about my dear principal orz

The principal is not a god. . .How could it be possible to predict the future several years ago-the kind of saying that Lily's death was designed by Dumbledore. . . . . .I don't know whether it is better to worship the principal too much, or to think too darkly about people's hearts orz

I personally think that they are all people pushed by the times.

No matter what, I'm Dumbledore's man through and through
