Chapter 286 Snape's Struggle
·
Yi Yang Shi Ming Yue
Two mysterious women appeared in the run-down spider's end alley, and then disappeared when they turned into an alley.
Only Snape was sitting in front of the desk in a daze in the room. Just now, he made an unbreakable vow with Narcissa, and the executor was Bellatrix.
He will be the final knife-bearer on the Dark Lord's mission to assassinate Dumbledore.
This would mean that he and Dumbledore were like Voldemort and Harry Potter, only one of the two would survive.
He sat at his desk, darkness covering his eyes.
He often reads here, and it seems to be a place for introspection reserved for him.
After Lily's death, he returned here when his heart was ashamed; now he is caught in the choice of life and death, and it is also here.
He didn't have any reluctant feelings for Dumbledore. On the contrary, he was bored and even hated Dumbledore's dominance over him.
If he had made up his mind and insisted on being a Death Eater back then, now he might be bent on killing the greatest White Wizard for the Dark Lord.
But Lily's death made him feel guilty for the rest of his life. He killed Lily, and now he wants to protect Lily's child. Dumbledore is the only person with such power.
After so many years of superior-subordinate relationship, he could tell that Dumbledore was a good person, even if he was a little calm and objective to the point of cruelty.
The wrong choice caused him to lose his true love, and now he is faced with a choice again, what should he do?
He had been staring at Narcissa and Bella's departure from the pane, and the next moment, he walked into the fireplace and came to Hogwarts.
This place is only connected to his office. When he came out of the office, he dragged his long robe and rushed to the principal's office without turning his eyes.
On the way, Filch, who had been living in the school, saw Snape who was in a hurry, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, but Snape never looked at him from the beginning to the end.
Snape successfully entered the headmaster's room, where Dumbledore was.
"Severus, what's the matter?" Dumbledore raised his eyes, showing no emotion.
Snape stared at him for a while, Dumbledore just stretched out his hand: "Sit first."
Snape didn't move, his eyes were not as empty and numb as they were before: "The two sisters of Black found me and made an unbreakable oath. I might... kill you."
A light flashed in Dumbledore's half-moon glasses, and his eyes were still flat, showing no emotion.
He leaned on the back of the chair: "If you want to kill me, you probably won't give me time to eat Lemon Sherbet." As he said, he picked up a candy and put it in his mouth.
"I'm not kidding Dumbledore, not everyone counts life and death as a bargaining chip like you!" Snape's voice suddenly rose, and he was irritated by Dumbledore's indifferent reaction.
Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then smiled at Snape: "To be honest, at my current age, a more valuable death may be the last dedication I can make. Severus, put Can you tell me what happened?"
Dumbledore's voice came like a breeze, and death was as easy in his mouth as crushing a lemon sherbet.
Although he had followed Dumbledore for so many years, Snape still didn't understand Dumbledore's calmness that came from nowhere.
"That person gave Draco Malfoy a mission to assassinate you. Narcissa asked me to provide protection for Draco, Bella asked for an unbreakable oath, and she asked me to fail Draco When...he will continue to complete the task instead of him."
Speaking again, Snape's tone was cold.
After Dumbledore finished listening, he just nodded: "Severus, it's not your fault, Bella just wanted to test your loyalty to Voldemort, you don't have to hide."
At this moment, Dumbledore was still comforting Snape.
"So, do I really want to kill you?" Snape's tone was full of sarcasm, "You are dead, who else can fight against the mysterious man!"
He never had the confidence of Dumbledore.
"We still have Harry, we still have Eli, our students and all the wise wizards are our strongest weapons." Dumbledore's eyes were bright, and Snape didn't even dare to meet them.
Snape looked out the window and let out a sneer: "Potter? He's as arrogant as his father, what else can he do besides attracting attention with that ridiculous name?"
"What about Eli? He is also your favorite disciple." Dumbledore said with great interest.
Snape froze for a moment, then stared at Dumbledore suddenly: "He is the only child like Lily, he is as gifted and educated as his mother, you can't let him die!"
Dumbledore chuckled: "Have you forgotten how Eli killed those werewolves?"
"Of course, I don't intend to compare those two children, and I don't want them to die, because they are all my students. But Severus, Harry is the son of prophecy, and Eli, as his younger brother How can it be avoided? Is Eli willing to leave his brother alone to fight Voldemort?"
"Then don't let Harry go either, he's just a kid!" Snape yelled.
The portraits on the wall were silent, quietly watching the debate below.
Dumbledore's eyes became farther away, and some pictures flashed through it: "You know, Severus, I have always been unwilling to be superstitious about prophecies, but in fact those prophecies can always tell everything exactly The words are right. We can pursue higher goals, but we have to take reality into account.”
Dumbledore stood up and came to a shelf where a large number of memories were stored, some of which were written "Harry Potter".
"Not just a prophecy. Voldemort made seven Horcruxes, and if we don't destroy all of them first, no one can kill Voldemort at all!"
"Then we'll go find the Horcruxes," Snape said.
"Yes, we are looking, and we have made some progress. But the more progress, there will always be some facts that we don't want to accept."
"What are you trying to say?" Snape realized something was wrong.
Dumbledore's voice became sad: "On that night that year, the magic released by Lily at the cost of her own life protected Harry, and the rebounded spell hit Voldemort, his soul was damaged, and That broken piece of soul will be attached to the last living thing in the house, either Harry or Eli."
Snape's eyes were full of disbelief, followed by despair, he knew what it meant, one of Harry and Eli must die!
"Harry and Eli, only Harry showed a connection to Voldemort, so in the end..."
"That child has to die, right..." There was despair hidden in Snape's words.
"Yes..." Dumbledore nodded with some discomfort, "It will only be Harry who will face Voldemort in the end. The meaning of my existence will no longer matter. There must be someone to guide Voldemort."
Dumbledore went on: "If the time comes when someone has to kill me, that kid is young and he doesn't deserve it because I'm tearing my soul apart."
"What about mine? Dumbledore, where's my soul?" Snape became excited.
"Severus, only you know that granting an old man's wish to die a decent death is not an evil thing."
Snape fell silent.
But he raised his head again: "I still can't understand why it must be..."
Dumbledore interrupted him, with a sly look in his eyes: "The unbreakable oath cannot be broken, but it can be deceived."
