Malfoy took a few steps back as he spoke, as if he could not believe this fact. He thought that Dumbledore did not know about the plans he had been hatching and the things he had done, but now, Dumbledore was telling him that he knew everything …
Fear, disbelief, anger, and all sorts of strange emotions mixed together.
They were brewing in Malfoy's body, making him feel a strange sense of humiliation.
Dumbledore knew everything, but he did nothing!
Malfoy clenched his wand tightly. His whole body was trembling, but it was unclear whether it was because of fear or anger, or both.
He wanted to kill this man, he wanted to kill him! He wanted to kill him!
"I tried to stop you, Draco, but I couldn't expose you directly and send you to Azkaban, or tell you not to do it. The Lord Voldemort will not forgive your mistake. I had to protect you." Dumbledore said calmly, "Professor Snape obeyed my orders to keep an eye on you …"
"Protect me, Snape?!" Malfoy was stunned for a moment, as if he found Dumbledore's words very funny. He laughed out loud, and his voice became louder and louder. "This is your so-called measure?! Ridiculous, Snape did not listen to your orders, he promised my mother … "
"Of course he would say that to you, Draco, but …"
"He is a double agent, you stupid old man. He is loyal to The Dark Lord. He did not work for you at all. You are still in the dark!"
"Let's keep our differences. I happen to trust Professor Snape very much."
"Hmph, you are losing control of him!" Malfoy sneered. He seemed to have regained his confidence, and he seemed to have gone crazy. "You know everything?! And you are still trying to protect me, it is ridiculous. You can't do anything now. You may not know this, but Snape has been offering to help me because he wants to take the credit. He always wanted to interfere and ask me what I was doing. He said that you were the one who made the necklace, that you were too stupid, and that you would expose everything, but I saw through his thoughts. I didn't tell him what I was doing in the House of Granted Requests, so he didn't know anything. When he woke up tomorrow morning, everything would be over, and he would no longer be the Black Devil's favorite. He's nothing compared to me, nothing, nothing! "
Malfoy shouted the last sentence with all his might.
Malfoy wanted to use this method to vent the anger in his heart and give himself some confidence by repeating important words three times.
If he wanted to kill Dumbledore, he needed this thing.
There was another moment of silence. The only sound in the observatory was the louder and louder fighting below.
Harry struggled to break free from his restraint, but to no avail.
"How gratifying," said Dumbledore gently. Dumbledore said gently, "We all hope that our hard work will be appreciated by others, this goes without saying … Well, since you don't believe that I asked Professor Snape to protect you, then let's talk about something else. For example, you must have an accomplice, someone in Hogsmeade, who could slip Katy that, that …"
Dumbledore showed a pained expression again. He swayed and closed his eyes.
This made Malfoy even more confident. Dumbledore was very weak. Harry vaguely saw the two giant pythons on the staff open their eyes slightly and then close them again. If he had not been paying attention to the staff, he would not have noticed it at all.
Damn it, Dumbledore was running out of time. Where was Elwyn?!
Harry remembered that Dumbledore said that his time was precious and that he wanted to see Snape before he left. He did not see the need to continue this stalemate with Malfoy. However, Dumbledore did not seem to want to end their conversation. He wanted to continue and was very excited.
"Needless to say, needless to say, Draco … It's Rosmerta. How long has she been under the Soul Snatching Curse?" Dumbledore said slowly, his voice low.
"Haha, you finally understand, right?" Malfoy said mockingly.
Another shout came from below, louder than the previous one.
Malfoy turned his head anxiously again, then turned back to look at Dumbledore.
"Obviously." Dumbledore continued, "Poor Rosmerta had to hide in her own toilet and give that necklace to any Hogwarts student who went to the toilet alone? And that bottle of poisoned mead … Of course, Rosmerta could have added poison to that bottle of mead for you and sold it to Slughorn, thinking that it would be a Christmas present for me. Yes, very clever. Poor Ferr never thought of checking Madam Rosmerta's mead … "
"That's right!" Malfoy grinned. "I heard the idea of poisoning the mead from Mud Seed Granger. I heard her say in the library that Filch couldn't recognize the potion …"
"Please don't use that insulting word in front of me," Dumbledore said.
"Haha!" Malfoy laughed unpleasantly. "I'm about to take your life, and you still care that I called you Mud Seed?"
"Yes, I care!" Dumbledore said. His feet began to slip, and he had to use more strength to hold on to the Twin Snake Cane.
"Ridiculous, meaningless persistence. Even if you already knew everything, what can you do? Look at how weak you are now, and you're still hoping for Mason to save you! "
"Oh, I think he'll make it."
"That'll be after I kill you! All he'll see is your corpse, "Malfoy roared.
"Perhaps, Draco. Many things happened tonight, but the changes aren't as big as you think." Dumbledore said, "In my opinion, compared to becoming a Death Eater, you should stay at Hogwarts and finish your studies."
"Shut up, I don't care about staying here. I'll become the beloved of The Dark Lord!"
"How disappointing. I had hoped that you would have some greater ambitions, but you're too young. Back to the topic, Draco, it's been a few minutes since you wanted to take my life. There's no one around, and I don't have my wand or magic. You wouldn't have dreamt of such a good opportunity, but you still haven't done it. What are you waiting for … "
Malfoy's lips twitched involuntarily, as if he was tasting something bitter. His originally confident expression became uneasy again.
"W-what's wrong with you?" he stammered.
