Chapter 346: Let Me Take a Look

After Titus and Draco left, only John and Dumbledore were left in the Headmaster's office.

"What's wrong John, any more questions?"

Seeing John didn't leave with them, Dumbledore asked strangely.

"Uh-huh, Headmaster, I want to ask about Professor Snape."

"He and Draco are bound by an Unbreakable Vow, right."

"Now that Draco has defected, is that vow still effective?"

Hearing this question, Dumbledore smiled and said.

"Rare to hear you care about Severus, John."

"This is called confirming information."

John refused to admit he cared about Snape.

Dumbledore didn't expose him, just continued.

"Alright, in fact, that vow is still effective today."

"Why? Draco has defected, how is it still effective?"

John asked back strangely.

"Because the Unbreakable Vow binds not stance, but promises."

"But don't worry, do you remember the content of their vow?"

John recalled slightly and said slowly.

"Help Draco kill you, and protect Draco?"

Dumbledore nodded, then explained with a smile.

"That's right, so now this vow remains unchanged."

"Severus still has to help Draco find a way to kill me."

"But, it's limited to helping."

"If Draco himself doesn't intend to kill me, he doesn't need to provide help."

"Secondly, it's protecting Draco within his ability."

"This vow, originally used to exchange for Voldemort's trust, has now become a reason for Severus to refuse to harm Draco in front of Voldemort."

Hearing this, John suddenly realized.

Then complained: "So Draco's move hired a free nanny for himself?"

"As long as he doesn't kill you, Headmaster, Professor Snape has to keep protecting him?"

Dumbledore was speechless; it was originally a clever tactic, but it was described by him as a "buy one get one free" promotion.

But he didn't refute anything, because the words were rough but the meaning was true.

"However John," Dumbledore suddenly restrained his smile and said seriously: "Severus's assassination plan for you is still effective today."

"Don't take it lightly."

John nodded; of course, he hadn't forgotten this.

Experiencing the feeling of being assassinated in his lifetime is quite fresh.

"I know, Headmaster, but I forgot to ask before."

"When Voldemort gave Professor Snape this task, was there a time limit?"

Dumbledore shook his head: "Didn't specify a time limit, but the Dark Lord has always hated procrastination."

"Especially after suffering setbacks one after another in the past month."

"You destroyed a Horcrux with your own hands in front of him, and cut off one of his arms, causing the heaviest injury since his resurrection."

"He is probably hating you to the bone now."

"And Severus, he must give an explanation that can appease Voldemort's anger before the Dark Lord completely loses patience, otherwise even he won't escape punishment."

Hearing this, John frowned; it meant that Professor Snape's window of action was narrowing sharply.

Just in case, better do some preparation.

Can't let Professor Snape really kill me, and can't let him return empty-handed.

What should I do......

Ah, got it!

"Headmaster, can it be like this."

"Let Professor Snape find an opportunity to take me to Voldemort to solve it personally."

"This way Professor Snape completes the task, and Voldemort will also be satisfied."

"Then I escape from Voldemort's hands, and this can't be blamed on Professor Snape; it's Voldemort who doesn't have the ability to keep me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore shook his head seriously: "Too dangerous, John."

"If you are really sent to Voldemort, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape."

"Don't underestimate Voldemort because of one success."

Hearing this, John curled his lips.

"Then what do you say?"

"Before, if he failed, he failed."

"Now Voldemort hates me so much, if Professor still fails, Voldemort won't let him go."

"Can't let Professor Snape really slaughter me, right?"

Regarding this, Dumbledore was also silent for a while.

Because he was indeed quite troubled by this problem.

He still needs Snape to continue to be a mole by Voldemort's side to bring him Voldemort's information.

Can't just break it off like this.

Just when he was troubled, he suddenly saw the Elder Wand placed on the table, and a flash of inspiration hit his brain.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Perhaps, your plan is indeed feasible."

"However......"

"Doesn't need you to appear personally."

John: "?"

Near evening.

The Hogwarts Express finally slowly entered the Hogwarts platform.

Hermione, Harry, and the others hurried off the train and ran toward the Thestral carriage.

Draco's appearance in the morning, and John's departure.

Made them discuss it uneasily all the way.

Very confused why Draco would appear, and even say he was going to Hogwarts.

Just as they entered the school grounds, they saw the gate.

John was standing there swaggeringly, chatting with Professor Flitwick on the side.

Not far behind him stood Professor Snape.

"Yo, you're here."

"Ahem! Come come come, routine inspection! Hand over your luggage."

John saw them and immediately straightened his tie, pretending to be serious and reaching out.

"John?"

They were stunned when they saw John.

They had imagined all kinds of scenes that might appear all the way, but never imagined the scene of John guarding the door here.

"How did you..."

"Ahem! Routine official business, don't try to get close to me."

Harry just wanted to ask something, but was interrupted directly by John.

Because he was bored, he applied to Dumbledore to come and check students' luggage together.

Saying that, John raised his wand directly and scanned Harry's body.

"You didn't hide any dirty books, did you?" John muttered while checking.

"No!!...... No, wait, this isn't the time to say this, where is Draco?"

"Didn't you follow Draco to school this morning?"

Harry first subconsciously refuted, but immediately reacted that he was off-topic.

"Oh, Draco, he's at school now."

"Don't be nervous, wait until we go back, I'll explain to you slowly."

John checked Harry slowly and explained casually.

"Come, Hermione, it's your turn, let me take a look~"

After throwing Harry to Professor Snape, he looked at Hermione again, leaning over with a grin.

Intending to check directly.

Hermione saw John's appearance and understood that nothing big should have happened, so she relaxed her tense shoulders and slapped away his reaching hand with a trace of reproach.

"Be serious, the students behind are watching."

"Uh... then shall we go to the woods over there to check?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hermione slapped him on the back of the head without a good temper. ===== CHAPTER 347 =====
