Chapter 1566
He didn't look much younger.
He looked at Snape mockingly and said: "Severus, we meet again, what message did your master ask you to bring me?"
"No message... I am, I came for myself, I beg you... I brought a warning..."
Snape knelt on the ground nervously.
"What warning could a Death Eater bring me?"
"It's, it's that prophecy... Trelawney's prophecy..."
"How much did you tell your master?"
"Everything, everything I heard... he, he has chosen Lily Evans..."
"That prophecy didn't say it was a woman!"
"He has chosen Lily Evans's son, Harry Potter... he wants to kill their whole family..."
Snape covered his face in pain.
Dumbledore looked at him mockingly.
"Lily Evans is so important to you, didn't you beg your master?"
"I begged, I begged him to spare Lily..."
"You truly disgust me, you only want to save her, but you don't care about her husband or her child at all!"
Snape said nothing. He covered his face.
After a long time, he raised his head.
"Then hide her... hide them... I beg you..."
"What can you give me?"
"Everything, everything I have!"
The mountaintop disappeared.
Snape was sitting in Dumbledore's office.
He let out a howl like a wild beast.
Dumbledore stood in front of him.
After a long time, Snape finally raised his head.
"I, I thought... you would protect them well..."
"She and James wrongly trusted someone else... just like you, didn't you also beg Voldemort?"
Snape's breathing was weak and powerless.
He seemed to have lost all hope of living.
"Her son survived."
Dumbledore said.
Snape showed an expression of disgust.
"Her son is still alive, he has the same green eyes as Lily..."
Snape was in despair.
"It's gone... it's all gone, I wish it were me who died..."
"That's all useless now, you know what she died for... the path ahead of you is very clear!"
Snape was dazed; it took a long time for Dumbledore's words to make him understand.
"What do you mean?"
"Although Lily is dead, the Dark Lord is still alive, you must protect her child. As long as the Dark Lord returns, that child will face the greatest danger!"
Snape was silent.
Finally, he stood up.
"Very well... good, I will protect him, but you swear... you swear never to tell him... Potter's son... you swear!"
"If you insist..."
Dumbledore said with pity and a sigh.
The office disappeared...
This time it was in the orphanage.
Snape was talking to Dumbledore.
"I don't dare to look at him, he is exactly like Lily, I can't face him... I can't face him at all, every time I see him, I think it's Lily..." Dumbledore laughed.
"You must hold on, I see Darren is a very smart child, be careful he finds out you like him very much."
The scene changed.
Still in Dumbledore's office.
Snape was looking at Dumbledore unhappily.
"What exactly are you trying to do? That child is so well-behaved, he is a true genius, I think he is ten thousand times better than Harry Potter!"
Dumbledore was reading a copy of "Today's Transfiguration," and he said without looking up: "Believe me, Harry is also a good child."
"Other teachers also say Harry is very humble, very likable."
"Pay attention to Quirrell, okay? I think Quirrell is very strange, he has some focus on Darren."
The scene changed again.
Snape was talking to Lucius.
"Why did you put that thing into the school? Darren Potter and Harry Potter almost died!"
Snape said angrily.
Lucius's face was a bit guilty.
"It wasn't that mongrel Weasley wanting to check for contraband, I didn't know what to do, and selling that person's things wasn't possible."
"So, I could only let that little Weasley daughter bring it into the school, hoping Dumbledore would handle it, who knew it almost..."
"By the way, Draco came back saying he quite likes that Darren Potter, what do you think of him?"
Snape's face softened.
"That child is humble, well-behaved, studies very well, is polite to people, much better than his brother Harry Potter."
"The only flaw is that he's too stupid, silly, always being schemed against, too innocent, every time I see him I'm afraid he'll be schemed against..."
Snape was complaining when he saw Lucius's surprised expression.
"Severus, do you know? Narcissa says the same thing about Draco every time..."
"I just thought I saw a child's parents!"
Snape stood up in embarrassment and anger.
"What child, what father, how could I... hurry up and go!"
Snape pushed Lucius into the fireplace...
