Snape: ? ? ?
Seeing the professor who had always had a poker face showing an incredible black question mark face, the sharp contrast was so cute that Glenn almost couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot.
"I need a reasonable explanation, principal." His Highness the Half-Blood Prince glanced at Glenn, who lowered his head and trembled, and the corner of his mouth twitched obviously.
"Don't be nervous, Severus, you know me..." Dumbledore also smiled from ear to ear, "This is just a joke. In fact, you only need to do it in front of other people." , using a death curse on me is enough."
Professor Snape frowned: "I understand what you mean, but why should I do this?"
"Give Voldemort a reason to believe." Dumbledore straightened his expression, "He never expected young Draco to complete this arduous task from the beginning. Not only do we know this, but I believe that most food The Dead Apostles all think so, but you are different."
He played with his wand and continued: "That's why Bellatrix brought Narcissa Malfoy to you and asked you to promise to help Draco complete his mission, isn't it?"
"Maybe..." Professor Snape was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I roughly know what you mean, Professor, but I think there is another problem here." Glenn suddenly said, "With Lestrange's character, it is certainly impossible to just ask Professor Snape to make a promise. Simple. Just to be on the safe side, she will definitely ask for an unbreakable vow, right?"
"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "your judgment is very accurate."
"If that's the case, if Professor Snape breaks his oath, wouldn't it be..." Glenn frowned.
Dumbledore showed a sly smile again and said to Snape: "Severus, you might as well repeat the content of the oath. I believe Glenn will understand what I mean after hearing it."
"Narcissa Malfoy asked me to promise in my oath that I would help Draco as much as possible during his mission; whether he succeeded or not, I would do my best to protect him from harm. ; In addition, if his mission fails, I need to take his place and continue the mission."
Glenn listened carefully to what he said. The content of the oath was almost the same as what he remembered in the original book, except for a few occasional differences in wording during the retelling.
He savored it carefully and seemed to understand what Dumbledore wanted to express.
“Can the Unbreakable Vow also play word games?”
"Of course!" Dumbledore said without hesitation, "You must have noticed that the key to this oath lies in the last clause. Severus needs to continue to complete the mission of assassinating me after Draco's mission fails, but it will soon Obviously there are successes and failures in missions, and thankfully that's not mentioned here."
Professor Snape also understood and asked: "So, when I use the Killing Curse on you, it means that I have fulfilled my promise in the oath, right?"
"Without a doubt," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"If that's the case, it seems like this plan is really feasible." Glenn's expression became much more relaxed.
“I can’t say it’s foolproof, but compared to the possible gains, the risks are completely worth it.”
Glenn thought for a moment and then asked: "So what are you going to do to make your 'death' seem natural? Under normal circumstances, even Professor Snape and Draco together would be It’s unlikely that I’ll have the chance to kill you, right?”
"Of course, so we need a perfect reason for me to fall into a 'reasonable' state of weakness." Dumbledore said, "Voldemort knew very well that despite my 'foolishness' in maintaining my trust in Severus, I'm also fully capable of reacting quickly when he tries to plot against me, so what we need is something that I know will be hurt, but can't refuse. I believe you should be able to quickly figure out what I'm talking about. What."
You know you're hurt, but you can't refuse?
Glenn immediately searched in his mind for a prop that could weaken a boss of Dumbledore's level, and he quickly had an idea and found the answer.
"You mean...the potion that protects the locket?"
"That's right." Dumbledore showed an approving expression, "This is obviously the most reasonable way."
"If that's the case, I think Professor Snape should start sending a signal to Voldemort in the near future, letting him think that we have started looking for his Horcruxes scattered everywhere." Glenn thought for a while and suggested.
Dumbledore nodded: "It makes sense. This way, the cave where we found the locket will not be too out of the ordinary."
"One more thing." Glenn remembered something again and said, "I'm wondering, should we hide this plan from Harry first?"
Dumbledore pondered slightly and said, "Tell me your reasons."
"It's like this. Although Harry is very talented and has grown up quickly over the years, he is still somewhat impulsive and cannot control his emotions very well," said Glenn. "In our plan, he Sooner or later, you will know that you have become a Horcrux..."
He secretly glanced at Professor Snape and saw that his expression did not change before continuing.
"Of course, I'm not saying that he will choose to escape because of cowardice. From what I know about him, even if he knows that he has to sacrifice himself, he will definitely rush forward without hesitation. But the problem is that if he knows in advance that you are just pretending to be killed, Then when he faces Voldemort, will he accidentally expose something... You know, he really has no talent in Occlumency..."
"This...I haven't thought about it." Dumbledore also hesitated slightly, "Do you have any ideas, Severus?"
Professor Snape had already regained his coolness and just snorted lightly: "I don't care about Potter's life or death, so I don't have any ideas. You can decide for yourself."
Although he spoke harshly and showed a disdainful look, the flash of worry in his eyes still betrayed his emotion.After all, he was Lily's son, so how could he not care about his life or death as much as he said?
Dumbledore also guessed what he was thinking and did not continue to ask. The principal's office fell silent for a moment.
"What you said makes sense, Glenn." After a long time, he spoke again, "I will seriously consider this suggestion..."
Seeing the professor who had always had a poker face showing an incredible black question mark face, the sharp contrast was so cute that Glenn almost couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot.
