HP's Lost and the Lighthouse

Harry Potter - Lily's son, and... Potter's blood.As for the latter, Snape couldn't help showing a disgusted expression just thinking about it.

Dumbledore was naturally aware of this, so when he wanted to arrange for the professor to pick up Harry and go shopping in Diagon Alley, he never considered Snape at all - Snape certainly didn't care This, even said, he wished to see that boy later, even if it was a day later.

But he never thought that the one sent to pick up Potter would be Rubeus Hagrid, the half-giant who is not even a formal teacher, Dumbledore even arranged for this to be banned from using magic by the Ministry of Magic The person who went to Gringotts to pick up the Sorcerer's Stone - when he knew that there were dark wizards eyeing that stone!

Of course, Dumbledore said more than once that he believed in Hagrid, and Snape also believed that the big, simple-minded man would definitely give his life to protect what Dumbledore wanted him to protect. It may not be possible to do it.In short, in Snape's eyes, Dumbledore's arrangement was too risky.

"What on earth do you think?" he demanded of the old Headmaster. "For someone who can't even use magic to do such a thing? Even put Potter and the Philosopher's Stone together—"

Dumbledore seemed to have expected the doubts from his Potions professor, and he even changed a soft chair for Snape, who obviously rushed to Hogwarts as soon as he got the news .

There was a smile on the old man's face: "Severus, if you ask me, your behavior is too predictable."

The young man's eyebrows were tightly intertwined, and he snorted coldly at the elder's half-joking words, but sat down on the chair under Dumbledore's insistence.

"Now can you tell me your reason?" As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help leaning forward and asked.

Dumbledore suddenly showed some helplessness: "What's the matter with you, Severus?" he asked.

"You weren't so irritable before."

"You know how risky such behavior is!" His potions professor accused, very dissatisfied with the headmaster's behavior of changing the subject, "and Hagrid will make it known, not to mention that he has a Potter with him." A half-giant plus a 'Boy Who Lived', who wouldn't notice them - what good would that do you?"

"But it doesn't do me any harm, does it?" said Dumbledore.

He looked away from Snape's eyes, disappointed.Snape was stabbed by the other party's performance, and the corner of his mouth curled up somewhat dissatisfied, and he also remained silent.

The old man looked at the portrait on the wall of the principal's office for a while, and then suddenly said, "Severus, do you know that those people have tried to break into Gringotts many times in the past month?"

"Actually, if you had read today's papers before you came, you'd have seen that they had nearly succeeded in their purpose—if Hagrid and Harry hadn't taken the Philosopher's Stone early."

Dumbledore said, crossing his fingers, and turned his head to look at Snape again.

"Are you sticking with your opinion now, Severus? It's still inappropriate for Hagrid to fetch the Sorcerer's Stone?"

Snape frowned. "It's a completely different matter—"

"No, it's not." Dumbledore stopped his next words with a raised palm.

"You still don't get it, Severus - if I had given this task to not Hagrid but any other professor, do you think they would have chosen to pick up the Sorcerer's Stone quietly or with a lot of fanfare? "

Snape said nothing - the answer to that question was obvious.

"You see, that's the problem," Dumbledore laughed, "no matter who I call to fetch the Philosopher's Stone, only Hagrid is likely to reveal the secret that I sent someone to fetch the Philosopher's Stone-even if he didn't mean to Yes. And if he took Harry—Severus, do you think a guy who wants to resurrect Voldemort—no matter how indifferent he might be to the outside world, would he not pay attention to Harry?"

The Potions Professor couldn't believe it. He stared at Dumbledore with wide eyes, looking at him as if he had never known the old man before: "You did it on purpose—you sent Hagrid to pick up Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on purpose—" — you just want them to know."

He stood up abruptly, and walked up and down the headmaster's office, wondering why Dumbledore was doing it.

"You know it's just going to get them all focused on Hogwarts—"

Dumbledore looked at him: "Severus, don't you understand? My purpose is to get them to focus on Hogwarts."

The old man sighed at the stunned Head Slytherin: "If not, they would definitely want to enter Gringotts—not my boast—I think Hogwarts is currently the most magical place in the wizarding world. safe place."

"You must not have considered the possible casualties when they broke into Gringotts, did you?" There was a hint of accusation in the old man's tone.

Snape fell silent - he really hadn't considered the goblins of Gringotts, and at this moment, he finally realized the deep meaning behind Dumbledore's seemingly absurd behavior.An inexplicable shame made him suddenly feel uneasy about continuing to stay in the principal's office. He raised his head, and after finishing the last sentence with Dumbledore, he had been quietly staring at his blue eyes for a while, and hurriedly looked for He made an excuse and left.
