Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 852

The Sorting Hat's Sorting wasn't very good; I think it was reckless... Dumbledore is gone.

Only Snape remained, covering his face.

The screen changes again.

Snape was in Dumbledore's office, and Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.

"I'm going to set up a trap... I'm prepared to face death."

"What's wrong with you!"

Snape glared angrily at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore laughed.

"No, haven't you noticed that I've gotten completely old?"

"You do seem to have aged; I've noticed your magic seems to have diminished somewhat?"

"Yes, I'm old now, and I've realized that I can no longer kill the next Dark Lord. So I'm going to use my death to make Voldemort even more rampant!"

Dumbledore's words enraged Snape.

"Are you planning to just die like that? Are you going to leave all the pressure on those two children?"

No, it's for Darren Porter, isn't it?

Dumbledore remained noncommittal.

He smiled.

Then he changed the subject.

“I’m going to link my death to Voldemort’s recent plans. I’ve heard he’s planning to have Draco kill me?”

Snape snorted.

He moved his arms and said, "The Dark Lord didn't intend for Draco to succeed; he just wanted to teach Lucius a lesson."

Lucius had previously sent his belongings to Hogwarts without permission, and his recent attempts to do so have all failed.

He wanted Lucius and the others to watch Draco fail.

Watching Draco go to his death.

"So, this child and I are both sentenced to death?"

Dumbledore laughed.

A moment of silence followed. Snape remained silent.

Dumbledore didn't care.

He waited a moment before saying, "You've been trying to find out what that child is up to lately. That child has always liked you..."

“He has hated me ever since his father fell out of favor. He thinks I stole his father’s place.”

“I know, but Severus, you should try to keep an eye on him. A child is reckless and will always run into problems, right?”

Of course, if we want to free him from this fear, there is only one way.

Snape sneered.

"That means having Draco kill you!"

"No, no, no, Severus, that child is still young. I won't let him do it. I need you to make sure you kill me before he does!"

There was a long silence.

Only the sound of the Fox chirping.

Snape sneered.

"Should I start now? What kind of epitaph do you want?"

Dumbledore laughed sarcastically.

"No need, there's no rush. Although my life is passing, it doesn't mean I'm going to die. If I want to live, I can live for a long time... So, I will die in a moment of weakness."

Then everything will fall into place, and Voldemort will become even more rampant. And when people become rampant, they're capable of anything!

Snape stared at him coldly.

"Why didn't you let Draco kill you? You were already weakened anyway."

“I’m sorry, Severus, although that boy always does bad things, I know his soul can still be saved. He shouldn’t have killed people…”

"His soul is saved, but mine, Dumbledore, what of mine?"

And that child, that child will know I killed you, he will hate me to death, he will hate me for the rest of his life, you know?

He'll break down. He'll want to kill me the moment he sees me. I'll be like a knife, cutting him until he's covered in wounds!

Snape roared angrily.

Dumbledore gently covered his face.

“Severus, this is necessary.”

Only then will Darren realize that his kindness will kill him and those around him; he will understand what it means to make choices.

Snape choked up. He finally nodded.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Thank you, Severus."

The office has disappeared.

Snape and Dumbledore were walking on the playground in the twilight.

“These nights, you should keep Harry in solitary confinement and not give him any free time. I don’t want him running around lately.”

Lately, besides the things I want him to know, I don't want him to care about anything else.

“I don’t want to be locked up with him, I’d rather have Darren locked up, I…”

"Alright, Severus, Darren only has this short period of freedom left in his life, and I want him to relax a bit."

Snape gave a cold laugh.

"And then let him face your death?"

Dumbledore remained silent.

But he still firmly stated, "Yes, I will make him face my death; it's something he has to learn."

"Even so, can you tell me what you told them? They're still children, I think I can..."

"No, Severus, only they know these things. Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Especially the basket that spent so much time with Voldemort.

"I was just doing what you told me to do!"

"Yes, I believe you, Severus. I know how much you risked your life for these two children..."

I know, but there are some things I really can't tell you.

If you stay close to Voldemort all the time, he might find out.

I will never know if Voldemort's Occlumency will be enhanced after I die.

"But, but what about Harry Potter? What about him?"

He's just a reckless, arrogant guy. He can't even master Occlumency, and you want him to know such an important secret? Aren't you afraid the Dark Lord will find out?

"The Dark Lord didn't like connecting with Harry's mind; his soul was too fragmented. He tried, and it hurt him too much..."

He will never understand love; love is always powerful.

"I don't understand!"

"Snape said angrily."

"Alright, Severus, listen to me, there's no need for us to argue about these things. Listen to something else!"

Dumbledore looked around.

Then he whispered, "Listen, listen to me, after you kill me..."

"I don't want to hear it, I've changed my mind!"

Snape roared.

"Don't be angry. Come to my office tonight, and I'll tell you more."

night.

Inside Dumbledore's office.

Snape sat down in front of Dumbledore.
