Chapter 1568

"The Sorting Hat's sorting isn't very good, I think such sorting is very reckless..." Dumbledore left.

Leaving only Snape covering his face.

The scene changed again.

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

"I am preparing to set a trap... I am preparing to welcome death."

"Are you sick!"

Snape looked at Dumbledore angrily.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Not at all, haven't you noticed that I am completely old?"

"You do seem old, I observed that your magic power seems to have decreased?"

"Yes, I am already old, I just realized that I can no longer kill the next Dark Lord, so I am preparing to use my death to make Voldemort even more rampant!"

Dumbledore's words made Snape irritable.

"You are preparing to die just like that? You leave all the pressure to those two children?"

"No, it's left to Darren Potter, right?"

Dumbledore was noncommittal.

He smiled.

Then he brought up another topic.

"I am preparing to link my death with Voldemort's recent plans. I heard he is planning to let that child Draco kill me?"

Snape hummed.

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

"Lucius once sent his things into Hogwarts without permission, and Lucius's recent actions have all failed."

"He wants Lucius and the others to watch Draco fail with their own eyes."

"Watch Draco go to his death."

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

Dumbledore laughed.

A silence. Snape didn't speak.

Dumbledore didn't care.

He waited a while before saying: "You go and find out what that child wants to do recently, that child has always liked you..."

"Ever since his father fell out of favor, he has hated me, he thinks I stole his father's position."

"I know, but Severus, you try to pay attention to him, a child being reckless will always have problems, right?"

"Of course, if we want to free him from such fear, we only have one way."

Snape sneered.

"That is to let Draco kill you!"

"No, no, no, Severus, that child is still young, I won't let him do it, I want you to ensure that you act before him and kill me!"

A long silence.

Only Fawkes's cry could be heard.

Snape sneered.

"Do you want me to do it now? What kind of epitaph do you want?"

Dumbledore laughed humorously.

"No need, it's not urgent yet. Although my life is fading, it doesn't mean I'm about to die... so, I will die at a weak moment."

"Then everything will be logical, Voldemort will become even more rampant, and once a person is rampant, they can do anything!"

Snape looked at him coldly.

"Why don't you let Draco kill you? You're weak anyway."

"Sorry, Severus, although that child always does bad things, I know his soul can still be saved, he shouldn't kill people..."

"His soul can be saved, what about mine! Dumbledore, what about my soul?"

"And that child, that child will know I killed you, he will hate me to death, he will hate me for a lifetime, do you know that?"

"He will collapse, he will want to kill me as soon as he sees me, I will be like a knife, cutting him all over!"

Snape roared angrily.

Dumbledore gently covered his face.

"Severus, this is necessary."

"Only in this way can Darren know that his kindness will kill himself and kill those around him; he will understand what it means to make trade-offs."

Snape choked up. He finally nodded.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Thank you, Severus."

The office disappeared.

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

"These nights, you keep Harry in detention, don't give Harry free time, I don't want him running around recently."

"Recently, except for the things I want him to know, I don't want him to care about anything else."

"I don't want to keep him in detention, I'd rather keep Darren in detention, I..."

"Alright, Severus, Darren's life only has this much free time left, I want him to be more relaxed."

Snape sneered.

"And then let him face your death?"

Dumbledore was silent.

But he still said firmly: "Yes, I will let him face my death, this is something he must learn."

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

"No, Severus, these things can only be known by them, eggs cannot be put in one basket."

"Especially many times, the basket that follows Voldemort."

"I am doing things according to your instructions!"

"Yes, I trust you, Severus, I know how much life risk you have taken, you for these two children..."

"I know, but some things really cannot be told to you."

"You stay by Voldemort's side all the time, it is very likely he will find out."

"I will never know if Voldemort's Occlumency will strengthen after I die."

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

"He is just a reckless, arrogant guy, he can't even learn Occlumency well, you let him know such an important secret? Aren't you afraid of letting the Dark Lord know?"

"The Dark Lord doesn't like to connect his mind with Harry, his soul is split too much, he tried, it was too painful..."

"He will never understand love, love always has power."

"I don't understand!"

Snape said angrily.

"Alright, Severus, listen to me, we don't need to argue about these things. Listen to me about another thing!"

Dumbledore looked left and right.

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

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

Snape roared.

"Don't be angry, come to my office tonight, I will tell you more things."
