Chapter 750: You used me!!

~6 min read 1,020 words

Night.

In Dumbledore's office.

Snape sat in front of Dumbledore.

"You should tell me now!"

"Yes, yes, you must kill me when the time comes, and unless it's a last resort, never let them know the truth..."

"Darren Potter will hate me to death, he will kill me, he can never know the truth!"

Snape choked up.

Dumbledore looked at his face, and he said softly: "Don't you understand yet? Why did I choose you?"

"He loves you, he treats you like a father... he can't bear to kill you, listen to me, he won't kill you..."

"But do you know how painful this will be for him?"

Snape looked at Dumbledore angrily.

Dumbledore lowered his head.

He said softly: "This is necessary, if we want them to survive, this is necessary, every link must continue."

Snape looked into Dumbledore's eyes.

After a long time.

He finally nodded.

"What are you prepared to have him do?"

"That is a matter between me and them, Severus, don't interrupt me..."

"At a certain time, just when Voldemort is worried that someone will kill Nagini and protects Nagini, that is when you tell Harry about this matter."

"Tell him what?"

"Tell him that on the night Voldemort tried to kill him."

"After Voldemort's spell was rebounded by Lily's, a piece of his soul landed on Harry's scar..."

"Don't interrupt me, I know you are aware of it, but you didn't realize the seriousness of the problem."

"I once discussed with Darren that Harry's ability to connect to Voldemort's thoughts is because Harry has become Voldemort's Horcrux."

"As long as he lives, Voldemort will never die!"

"That, that boy must die? Does Darren know?"

Snape asked calmly.

Dumbledore sighed softly: "After our discussion, Darren let me erase his memory, but he will remember it after knowing about this, he has his own arrangements."

"As for Harry, it must be done by Voldemort personally, do you hear me clearly? It must be done by Voldemort personally."

A long silence.

Snape said softly: "I thought, I thought all these years your kindness to him, your protection of him, was for Lily... for Potter..."

"Our years of tempering him were to make him better face all this, to make his connection with Voldemort tighter, to make him more brave to go to his death..."

Dumbledore closed his eyes.

"Your protection of him was just to make him go to his death at the right time?" Snape said in terror.

He stood up.

He looked at Dumbledore.

The old man didn't open his eyes at this moment.

But Snape didn't care anymore.

He seemed to want to laugh as he said: "Dumbledore, you used me. There is no soul in Darren Potter."

"If, if you had told me earlier, told me earlier that there was a soul in Harry Potter, he would be raised like a pig."

"I would have taken Darren away early..."

"I acted as a spy for you, I disregarded my life for you, I distanced myself from my own child for you."

"I did these things for you... but in exchange, you want Harry Potter to go to his death..."

"Yes, don't look at me like that, Darren Potter is my child, he is my bloodline... at the very least, he possesses my bloodline."

"I distanced myself from my own child just to keep both of Lily's children safe... but what about you?"

"Dumbledore, what about you!"

"You... that child possesses your bloodline?"

"This is truly an incredible thing... I think I have more guesses about Darren's origin now."

"But Severus, you are also so concerned about Harry, is it because you finally like him?"

"Like?"

Snape waved his wand.

A doe rushed out.

But that doe had some changes.

It started to have a pale dragon's tail.

"Is that enough!"

Snape shouted angrily.

Dumbledore watched his Patronus disappear, his eyes filled with tears.

The scene shifted.

It was Snape talking to Dumbledore's portrait.

"What do I do next?"

"You must tell Voldemort the exact date Harry and the others leave his aunt and uncle's house."

"You must make Voldemort believe you are very loyal, try to have someone suggest the decoy idea..."

"Darren should come up with a better idea, for example, he comes to replace Harry!"

"The person who suggests the idea is Mundungus, Darren will definitely not adopt his idea, he will have a better way."

Snape roared with a livid face: "Aren't you afraid he'll kill Darren?"

"No, he won't, Voldemort will never kill Darren, this is the answer I got a while before I died."

"I think Voldemort will tell you the reason himself."

The scene shifted.

Snape was drinking with Mundungus.

Mundungus's eyes were dazed, he was copying every word Snape said word for word.

The scene shifted again.

This time, Snape was riding a broom, he raised his wand and pretended to chase Darren. A Death Eater rushed out.

He seemed to be about to cast a spell at Darren.

Snape released Sectumsempra at the Death Eater's back.

The Death Eater fell down.

Snape watched Darren get captured with red eyes. But in the blink of an eye, he became expressionless.

The scene disappeared.

This time.

Snape was beside Sirius.

Sirius had been Confunded, and he brought Snape into Grimmauld Place.

Snape found the letter Lily had once written to Sirius, he instructed Sirius to make sure to give this letter to Harry and the others.

Then he took Lily's photo.

He knelt on the ground and cried until late at night.

Then he came out of Sirius's room late at night and guarded outside Darren's room for a long time.

Immediately after.

The scene changed again.

It was Phineas's portrait talking to Snape.

"Headmaster, Darren hasn't eaten today, he didn't eat yesterday, he didn't eat the day before... he hasn't eaten at all, he's already unconscious..."

Snape clenched his fists.

He rushed to Darren's dormitory.

He kicked the door open and saw Darren, who was skin and bones and completely unconscious, at a glance.

He was almost driven mad with anger.

But he couldn't do anything.
