Chapter 749: I don't want to listen!!

The colors disappeared.

Then they saw Snape and Dumbledore standing in the entrance hall.

The last group of people from the Yule Ball walked past them.

"How is it?"

Dumbledore asked.

Snape said softly: "Karkaroff's mark has also turned black, he is very nervous, worried about being punished."

"You know, he has done many things."

"So, he decided that as soon as the Dark Mark hurts, he will run away immediately."

"What about you? What are you prepared to do?"

Snape raised his head.

His gaze fell on Darren, who was being dragged out by Harry.

He said firmly: "I am not a coward!"

Dumbledore nodded.

He said approvingly: "Yes, you are not a coward, I know that."

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

Leaving only Snape, who was covering his face.

The scene shifted again.

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

"I'm preparing to set a trap... I'm preparing to welcome death."

"Are you sick!"

Snape looked at Dumbledore angrily.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Not at all, haven't you noticed that I have completely aged?"

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

"Yes, I have aged, I just discovered 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're prepared to just die like that? You're leaving all the pressure to those two children?"

"No, you're leaving it to Darren Potter, aren't you?"

Dumbledore was noncommittal.

He smiled.

Then he brought up another topic.

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

Snape snorted.

He moved his arm and said: "The Dark Lord doesn't intend for Draco to succeed, he's just doing it 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."

"Watching Draco go to his death."

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

Dumbledore laughed.

A silence followed. Snape didn't speak.

Dumbledore didn't care.

He waited a while before saying: "You've been going to find out what that child wants to do lately, 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, try to pay attention to him, a child acting recklessly will always run into 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 the cry of Fawkes 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 going to die right away... so, I will die at a weak moment."

"By 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 go around killing 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 the rest of his life, 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 until he is covered in wounds!"

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 those around him, he will understand what it means to make sacrifices."

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 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 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 when many times, they are in a 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 have done this for these two children..."

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

"You are always by Voldemort's side, it is very likely you will be found out by him."

"I can 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 thoughts with Harry, his soul is split too much, he has tried, it is 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 matter!"

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."
