At this moment, a person that Harry Potter did not expect barged in. He glanced at the gentleman from the Ministry of Magic, his eyes were narrow and cold under his greasy black hair. The Ministry of Magic's envoy wisely kept his mouth shut. He did not want to say anything in front of Snape. If not for Dumbledore testifying for him, Snape would have long been locked up in Azkaban.
At that time, the Death Eater that Voldemort trusted the most was not Bellatrix, but Snape.
Snape swept his gaze across the headmaster's office. Harry hurriedly hid himself well. Even though Snape could not see him, he still hid under the rows of bookshelves in the headmaster's office. He quickly realized that this was a wise move, because Snape was following behind Filch, and he was still carrying the cat.
"Headmaster!" Snape saw that Madam Dolores did not have any unusual behavior, so he said to Dumbledore, "I would like to invite you over … The school might have been invaded!"
The Ministry of Magic's envoy almost jumped up, he said nervously, "It must be them! Headmaster Dumbledore … It must be those Death Eaters! "
Snape stared at him, his gloomy eyes made the Ministry of Magic's envoy's hair stand on end. He used his usual deep voice to ask, "What happened that I don't know about?" He looked at Dumbledore and said in a low voice, "You promised to tell me about him."
Dumbledore stood up and said to the Ministry of Magic's envoy, "Mr Weitzman, I will definitely carefully consider the matter you tell me … Now there is a problem in the school that requires me to solve it … So I will not be sending you out!" The Ministry of Magic's envoy hurriedly stood up, and after bidding farewell to Dumbledore, he glanced at Snape and walked out of the headmaster's office with a face full of suspicion.
Filch also followed him out after Dumbledore signaled him to.
Only Dumbledore and Snape were left in the headmaster's office, while Harry hid in a corner and listened to their conversation quietly. Dumbledore's beard reached his chest. He stood up, and because he was too tall, he had to lower his head slightly to look at Snape at the same level. His eyes peeked out from the gap above the lenses, staring at Snape.
"Severus, I don't remember you being such an impetuous person."
Snape laughed coldly, "I've always been like this …" Although he said that, he still calmed down and said in a low voice, "Malfoy … Malfoy, has some problems. Recently, he has been asking me questions about black magic … It's very advanced black magic, including how to enslave a soul, how to resurrect a dead person … "
Harry's heart almost stopped when he heard this. His mind was in a whirl. He felt that he had learned a very important secret of Malfoy's. Snape could not know, because he had not heard what Malfoy had said at Borgin's. Harry was sure that Malfoy had gone back to the Dark Magic Shop. He could not buy the Golden Book of the Sun, because he had taken it with him.
But he must have gotten his hands on some Dark Magic gadget. For the first time, Harry was glad that he had chosen to steal the book, or it would have fallen into Malfoy's hands. His youthful sense of justice diluted the uneasiness in his heart.
"So you suspect that Malfoy got his hands on the Horcrux hidden in Malfoy's house, and he is under Voldemort's control?" Dumbledore asked.
"There was the sound of a spell being chanted in an abandoned classroom in the east, and Mischievous was injured because of it … You should know that not all magic can harm a spirit. Filch must have barged in immediately after Mischievous was injured, but there was no one inside. He also did not manage to touch someone who might have used the Disillusionment Curse or the Invisibility Cloak."
"I suspect it's a demon … an evil spirit."
Dumbledore shook his head, "You should know how much old Malfoy loves his child. He would never let Dracula get hurt … Even if it was his life. That's why I did not send him to Azkaban … He is different from most Death Eaters. His love for his family is more than anything else."
"So you're hoping that this will make him betray Voldemort one day and join your side!" Snape mocked sharply.
"Just like me!"
Dumbledore looked at him in silence, and said sincerely, "People make choices for love. They do not join me, but choose love. I believe that anyone who truly loves someone will eventually part ways with Voldemort, because Death Eaters only have hatred in their hearts, while Voldemort only wants to surpass death. I did not choose you, but you … chose me. "
"You will drag him into that vortex!" Snape said angrily.
"I am his godfather after all. Old Malfoy's stupidity should not be borne by him … So please help him!" Snape looked at Dumbledore pleadingly, "Save him!"
Dumbledore said solemnly, "I will protect every one of my students."
"Remember your promise …" Snape said in a low voice.
Dumbledore continued, "The Ministry of Magic told me that Azkaban has been conquered, and they are powerless now. There might be a very powerful Dark Wizard controlling Azkaban, enslaving the Soul Eaters and Death Eaters there. Even Bellatrix died in his hands, and one of Voldemort's Soul Vessels fell into his hands."
"Voldemort has finally met his match this time. His Soul Vessels filled with Dark Magic have finally met someone who can break through its defenses and control his soul fragments."
"That's really a ruthless character!" Snape said happily, and he even smiled for the first time in a long time.
"But we also have to be vigilant. Voldemort will definitely return, and we have met a new opponent … This opponent is still very unfamiliar, and I still don't know too many things. But to be able to make a large number of Death Eaters betray Voldemort, just like you said … That person is really a ruthless character."
"Come with me to have a check! I hope Malfoy did not mess up too badly … Now tell me about Malfoy … I have been paying less and less attention to the school recently. Voldemort's matters have taken up too much of my energy. After all, I am only an old man. "
"Malfoy revealed very little, I can only be sure that he is in contact with some very advanced Dark Magic, including controlling spirits, resurrecting the dead, creating mummies and enslaving souls, even involving immortality … Just the things he revealed made me feel afraid. You should know that magic that involves the soul is very rare, and it is either powerful white magic or terrifying Dark Magic."
"His magic is getting stronger by the day … Now he is not inferior to some adult Magi …"
