"Harry, that's why the mysterious... Voldemort came to you!" Hermione frowned, "This is the root cause!"
Hearing Voldemort's words, Snape was so flustered that even his body trembled a little.
"Master, I think there are still many wizards who meet these behaviors, maybe the master should investigate clearly..."
"Enough!" Voldemort interrupted Snape, "I will make such a choice, of course I have my reasons!"
"There are a lot of options, like the Longbottoms, who are as annoying as flies."
"But James Potter and that Mudblood, I often hear their names mentioned... I want to prioritize them more!"
Snape stood up, shaking like chaff.
He watched as Voldemort's robes disappeared through the doorway, with all kinds of expressions on his face, sadness, regret, resentment, anger...
"I have to do something! I have to do something!"
The fog changed the scene again.
On the edge of the cliff, Snape fell to his knees, his wand rolled to the side.
Dumbledore appeared in the strong wind, his long beard constantly raised, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.
The expression on his face was extremely serious, and he walked slowly in front of Snape, the hem of his robe fluttering.
"Snape... Voldemort wants you to bring me a message?"
"No! I'm here for myself!" Snape's eyes were red, his black hair was blown away by the strong wind, and his hair was disheveled like a madman, "I want to beg you...I want to beg you..."
"Please? A Death Eater wants to ask me?" Dumbledore raised his wand slightly, and a magical energy field suddenly appeared.
The surroundings became quiet. Although the strong wind from the cliff was still blowing the surrounding lawns, it did not have any effect on the two people who were talking.
"You were there at the time, what did you hear? Did you tell Voldemort all that?"
Snape let out a low growl like a beast, his tone full of endless regret.
Dumbledore was condescending and gave Snape a buffer time without saying a word.
"I've said it all... a man who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord is approaching... He will have powers that the Dark Lord doesn't know." Snape's voice was very hoarse.
"I see...that's all you heard..." Dumbledore nodded, "So he made a choice?"
"Master, he has chosen his target... He chose Lily, he chose Lily!" Snape gritted his teeth, "Why did he choose Lily!"
"Why choose Lily? Snape! You have such an idea!" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, his tone full of disappointment.
"There are still many options... There are many warriors who can be targeted, like the Longbottoms, right?"
"Snape, I know what you're thinking, you only care about Lily, you don't care about anyone else..."
"It never occurred to you what would happen to Lily if she lost her husband and child?"
"Your potion skills are superb, but Lily's potion talent is also very good. Even if you use magic and potions, how long can you imprison her?"
Snape raised his head, opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound, just looked at Dumbledore.
The disappointment in Dumbledore's eyes did not dissipate, he looked up at the night sky, "I should go."
"Don't go!" Snape's voice was hoarse, begging with all his might, "Please! Keep Lily...keep them safe!"
"As long as I can do this, I'm willing to give anything! As long as I don't put Lily... and them in danger, I'm willing to do anything!"
Standing aside, Harry had mixed feelings. It was the first time he saw Snape look so cowardly like a bug on duckweed.
This was also the first time he knew that his parents died because of a prophecy, and the informer of this prophecy was Snape!
Dumbledore was silent for a long time before he took a deep look at Snape, "Then go back...I'll let you tell me everything you know!"
Ron's eyes widened, "No... What does Principal Dumbledore mean? What is Snape doing?"
"Double agent!" Hermione's brows were slightly relaxed, "Because of the incidents when I was a child, those incidents at Hogwarts."
"Combined with the ethos of Slytherin House, he became a Death Eater..."
"Still a loyal Death Eater! He even told Voldemort about Trelawney's prophecy!" Ron immediately commented sharply.
Hermione nodded, "So he regretted it and came to seek the help of Headmaster Dumbledore, even lurking in Voldemort..."
"But my parents are dead! It's all because of him!" Harry looked at Snape who was kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth and trembled, "And that dead Peter! Why is he still alive!"
Hermione didn't say anything, just patted Harry on the shoulder silently.
"So why did Snape go back to Hogwarts?" Ron asked a question.
The mist quickly answered Ron's question, and an office appeared around them, the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
Snape fell limply into what he was doing as if his bones had been pulled out.
Had it not been for the rising and falling of his chest, the Harry trio might have thought that Snape was dead by now.
"You promised me...to protect her...theirs!" Snape's voice sounded like the growl of a wounded beast.
"The Fidelity Curse has been leaked, and James and Lily didn't choose the right person." Dumbledore's face became more haggard, and even his long beard lacked luster.
The headmaster's office fell into silence, and Dumbledore spoke after a long time: "Lily's child survived."
"Does it make sense?" Snape asked lowly.
"Those eyes look like Lily, do you remember Lily's eyes? Severus, the war is not over yet..."
"It doesn't matter anymore!" Snape looked up, two lines of dirty tears hung on his face, "The war is over! Those Death Eaters will all be caught. I regret it..."
"It's far from over, Severus, you haven't reached the point of regret yet." Dumbledore said coldly, "Voldemort will return, and Lily's child will still be in danger..."
"You want me to be his guardian?" Snape narrowed his eyes slightly.
Dumbledore shook his head, "No! He still has Lily's protection on him, he has to go back to Petunia and accept the protection of his relatives."
"Asylum from relatives?" Snape asked in a low voice, wondering, "The sister who wants to embrace magic because she has no talent, but can only have Muggle status?"
"Can she shelter Lily's child? In my opinion, the most she can do is raise Harry, in a way of raising livestock, that's all!"
Hearing Voldemort's words, Snape was so flustered that even his body trembled a little.
"Master, I think there are still many wizards who meet these behaviors, maybe the master should investigate clearly..."
"Enough!" Voldemort interrupted Snape, "I will make such a choice, of course I have my reasons!"
