Harry: ...
If you say that, then we won't be able to talk today.
you slept with her
If I were a woman, I could sleep with her right away, believe it or not? !
And... I can't?
Are you challenging the limit of my physical strength?
So, on the night of Valentine's Day, because Harry couldn't reach a consensus with Hermione on some issues and was personally attacked by the other party, Harry finally decided to retaliate against the rider with the way of riding a man. Rise up and fight Hermione to the detriment of both sides...
And after a fierce dispute, when the two fell asleep in each other's embrace, Hermione sighed softly in her heart.
Perhaps, her behavior would seem unreasonable to outsiders.
Including Harry, it was hard to understand why she did something that was obviously wronging herself.
But for Hermione, she is just actively promoting something that is bound to happen, so that she can maximize the initiative in it.
She tried to stop it, but failed, so it would be kind of stupid to continue smashing.
Blindly denying or being hostile to another person is likely to hurt the original strong relationship between myself and Harry in the end, and may even cause myself to leave the scene sadly; This situation will inevitably involve a lot of Harry's energy.
So, as a partner, and of course as a sister, Hermione felt that she had to give Harry a push... Who made him an uneasy brother~
Although we are in a vortex and cannot help ourselves, at least we can choose a way we like...dancing with the waves.
...
Ten days later, on February 2, the second match day of the Triwizard Tournament.
During breakfast, Hogwarts was missing a few students.
Peeves secretly told Harry about this, and Professor Flitwick took Luna and Qiu Zhang away; at the same time, Fleur, who had just come to eat, did not follow Gabriel.
"Godfather, please keep an eye on Hermione's race. When the time comes, you can ride Kyle and help me monitor the race."
Harry wasn't with Hermione, but was telling Sirius who came early that he needed to sneak into the nursing home today, so he needed the other party to change into his appearance to attract attention.
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem." Sirius confidently shook the chocolate candy in his hand, which contained the highest grade compound decoction.
However, now he has other worries.
"Harry, we should be fine here, the key is the Lovegood girl..." Sirius said to Harry worriedly, "She doesn't know Occlumency, if she is taken away alone, the other party may Taking advantage of loopholes."
"No, Luna is very smart, she knows how to deal with those people." Harry shook his head with a smile, "What's more, there is Sijia watching."
"That snot... well, then I guess it won't be a problem."
They had worked together a few times before, and now Sirius admitted that Snape was a reliable companion.
But they still don't like each other, one won't accept an apology, and the other doesn't think about apologizing at all.
Then there is the third party between the two of them, who never thought of mediation.
We're all adults now, let's go with the flow~
At the same time, in the classroom that was temporarily used as an office, the four hostages who were taken away during breakfast have now been sent here.
Waiting for the hostages here are the principals of the three schools, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, Akinbad, the vice president of the International Federation of Wizards, and Snape.
As for the hostages, they were Luna, Cho Chang, Gabriel, and Ginny Weasley.
Presumably, this was because the competition organizing committee couldn't find Krum's most important person, so they directly grabbed his dance partner to cover the bag.
"Four ladies, I need to inform you... You have been selected as the treasure that the warriors need to find, and you will be sent to the Black Lake later." Akinbad explained to the four hostages, "Next , I will cast a spell on you, which will make you temporarily lose consciousness and breath, so as to ensure that you will not encounter danger underwater. And when the warriors rescue you from the water, the spell will be lifted automatically."
The four nodded at the same time, indicating that they understood the mission.
"Uh... is this Miss Lovegood?" Aginbad suddenly looked at Luna at this moment, "What's the matter with your glasses?"
"It's just an accessory, why... can't I wear it?" Luna asked indifferently, without any intention of taking off her glasses.
"That's not..." Aginbad took a soft nail and changed the subject awkwardly, "Let's start now."
He drew out his wand and cast spells on Gabriel and the others one after another, and they quickly passed out while maintaining their standing posture.
After that, he turned to Luna again, but swung his wand a little more than he did at the others.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore couldn't help frowning slightly, and Snape also flashed out from the corner of the room.
Aginbad didn't notice these changes. He was staring at Luna with all his attention at the moment, with a smile on his face that seemed confident.
But just when he thought he was about to succeed, a dazzling light suddenly reflected from Luna's glasses, knocking his wand into the air!
After that, the incessant beams of light directly hit him, like a sledgehammer, sending his body flying!
At the same time, Luna also found that there seemed to be many strange memory fragments in her mind...
Chapter 690 I can do anything for him
Bang!
After a muffled sound, Akinbad's body fell heavily on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
However, although he was thrown in a mess, he was not seriously injured, but his expression at this moment was full of shock and anger.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the anti-demon glasses can really prevent people." Luna pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose indifferently, "It seems that some people are no different from demons."
Akinbad obviously used Legilimency on Luna just now, but was counterattacked by Luna's anti-demon glasses, and at the same time let Luna intercept part of the other party's memory.
It was this memory that allowed Luna to know the real intention of the other party's visit this time.
The vice president of the International Federation of Wizards, who was born in Africa, uncharacteristically interfered with the Triwizard Tournament that only the three European schools participated in. It turned out that he got the news from someone else and came here to investigate Nobeta!
Although in this short memory, Luna did not find a specific connection from Akinbad to Nobeta, but she saw the clip where this guy met with the head of the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve and Cornelius Fudge .
As smart as Luna, she figured out almost instantly who was the source of Harry's secret.
She quietly shifted her gaze to a comatose hostage in the house, and the expression on her face was a little less calm, but more ironic.
Heh... If Harry really made the choice for someone in the end, then he would really look down on him.
"This...what the hell is going on? What kind of weird thing is your pair of glasses?!"
Akinbad, who was knocked into the air, also came back to his senses at this moment. He stared at Luna with a gloomy expression, and when he stretched out his hand, he thought of grabbing the wand that fell beside him.
But at this moment, a sudden curse cut off his magic wand like a sharp blade!
"Professor Snape, what do you mean?!" Aginbad stood up and glared at Snape angrily, only to find that the other party had already blocked Luna.
"That's right, Albus... How can the professors of Hogwarts attack the vice president of Aginbad casually?" Seeing this, Fudge hurried to Aginbad's side to help.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just protecting my students." Snape replied blankly, "And I also hope that Vice President Akinbard can explain...why do you want to make a fuss about Hogwarts students?" Student, use Legilimency?"
"This is sheer nonsense!" Cornelius Fudge snapped. "How could Mr. Akimbard use that kind of magic?!"
"I don't think I'm wrong," Snape shook his head indifferently, "Or are you going to stick to your point of view and let me speak with evidence? It's just right, I have Veritaserum with me..."
"Severus, that's enough!" Dumbledore shouted hastily, "It was just a misunderstanding just now, Babajid was just a momentary mistake."
In order to calm down the incident, he came to Luna himself, involuntarily releasing the spell that would cause Luna to fall into a coma.
Afterwards, he looked around at the crowd and suggested with a rather tough attitude: "I think we must go to the venue now and not delay the progress of the game. As for other things, we can wait until after the game is over."
"Professor Dumbledore's words are very reasonable, but I am very puzzled now, why Mr. Aginbad would target a student so much, so we'd better be careful."
Karkaroff suddenly made a sound at this moment, and at the same time stepped forward quickly to block Aginbad and Fudge, and concealed Luna and Ginny behind him.
"The warriors in our school seem to like chatting with this lady very much. I am worried that he has accidentally revealed some secrets that cannot be known to outsiders." Karkaroff's expression at this time was very vigilant, "Mrs. Maxim, it must be You will also have this kind of worry, the British Ministry of Magic's intention to set up these hostage ladies does not seem to be purely for the competition."
"I've already started to doubt like this!" Mrs. Maxim was obviously moved by his persuasion, "No matter who it is, you must never take action against my students!"
She also squeezed over, and with her much larger body than Karkaroff, she directly blocked the four of them tightly.
"Let's go now..." Dumbledore gasped and walked out of the classroom with everyone.
But on the way, he and Snape gradually came to the end.
"Severus, you just went too far!" Dumbledore said with a sullen face when he was about to step down the stairs, with obvious displeasure in his expression.
"That's just what I'm supposed to do as a professor..." Snape responded indifferently, but said a title that surprised Dumbledore, "Mr. Headmaster."
"What do you call me?" Dumbledore suddenly became alert, he stared deeply at Snape with his blue eyes, "Severus, you swore to serve me."
"But there are conditions, Mr. Headmaster." Snape's tone was still indifferent, but there seemed to be a bit of resentment on his brows, "And I have done enough, but you have never fully trusted me Me. You would rather trust that half-blood giant with a simple mind and a leaky tongue than give me all the trust."
"Severus, I thought you knew the reason!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "I don't want to put all my secrets in one basket, especially... before Harry showed up, that basket was still there On Voldemort's arm!"
"But he doesn't think so." Snape shook his head noncommittally, "I have gained all the trust from him...Mr. Headmaster, it's all you can't give!"
"What's the point of what you're saying now, Severus?" Dumbledore's voice had also begun to become depressed, "Are you so eager to express your attitude that you want to completely betray me at this time? !"
"I'm just doing what we agreed upon." Snape confronted Dumbledore fearlessly, "I'm a spy for you, and I'm taking fatal risks for you, all of which are said to be to ensure that Lily's son safety. However, he revealed your real purpose with his own hands... You are raising him like a pig waiting to be slaughtered!"
"He really wants to resist all this, but at first he has no power, so you always want to completely control him; when he has power, you start to be infinitely wary and suspicious of him!"
"Heh... are you fighting for him? How touching, Severus..." Dumbledore was almost laughed at by Snape, "You don't really like him, do you? The son of the most hated James Potter, Harry Potter?"
"His surname is Granger!!" Snape shouted excitedly, "And... like him? Call God to protect you!"
He waved his wand, and out of the tip came a silver doe...it was Harry's mother's Patronus.
It lightly circled around Snape, then jumped up and flew out of the castle along the window.
Dumbledore stared blankly at the distant silver light. He looked back at Snape, only to find that the other's eyes were full of sadness, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"It's still like this after such a long time?" He seemed a little unbelievable.
"It's always been like this, but now it's not the main reason," Snape said softly, as if echoing Dumbledore, or just talking to himself, "I used to keep telling myself... because of those eyes, I can do anything for him."
"But he... only wants me to be a well-respected and competent professor!"
Chapter 690 The Horse Riding Is Not Necessarily Harry
Phew... so cool~
In fact, today's news erupted somewhat beyond Snape's expectations, but there is no way, who let this topic rush here.
That Aginbad blatantly used Legilimency on Lovegood in the classroom, Dumbledore, as the headmaster, did not stop it, but he suppressed the matter so easily, and later he had the nerve to blame himself It's overdone, isn't it purely looking for hate?
In other words, it's not a day or two since Snape was angry with Old Deng.
Yes, he knew that he had a criminal record, so he had been following Dumbledore's orders carefully.
But the problem is that Snape also has self-esteem, and his self-esteem is still very strong!
He devoted himself wholeheartedly, so he naturally hoped that the other party would give him enough respect...and trust.
But to be honest, Snape has been doing work without enthusiasm all these years, taking the risk of pinning his head on his belt, but Dumbledore only trusts those simple-minded guys!
Well, Snape didn't mean to belittle Hagrid here, but he just felt that Dumbledore would rather believe that Hagrid would not leak the secret than that he could keep the secret. This kind of differential treatment would be somewhat ironic.
Of course, he also admitted that he was influenced by someone. After all, if it was the original him, he would not be in the mood to care about these so-called 'unfairness'.
Isn't this his destiny, he must accept it no matter what...
But the appearance of that person made him gradually change his mind.
That child has a face that is as annoying as his father, and there is nothing satisfactory about his whole body except for his eyes and talent for potions, and his personality is even more annoying than his father, but he clearly understands told Snape...
'You don't have to carry the heavy shackles of the past! '
Then, Snape gradually figured it out.
The dead will always be the love of his heart, and both he and his Patronus have steadfastly proved that.
But on this basis, he, Severus Snape, can also walk on the path of his own choice!
And Snape is even a little proud now, after all...compared with a former werewolf who was tossing between the Phoenix and the Eagle, the choice he made was much firmer.
In short, after finishing these words today, Snape thought about it. If Dumbledore would let him succeed Moody next year and become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, then he might consider staying.
But if the other party continues to prevaricate himself with various reasons, then he doesn't want to be the dean of the Snake Academy and the professorship of the Potions class.
While thinking about this, Snape, with his head held high, even started to walk with wind. He completely left Dumbledore behind, and walked straight to the auditorium by the Black Lake.
"Severus..." Looking at Snape who was drifting away, Dumbledore still seemed to be unable to fully accept everything just now.
