Chapter 405 Why do you like to look at the gate?

The flames in the fireplace flickered, making the atmosphere inside particularly warm.

Snape turned slowly, his black robes fluttering gently.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Potion Master, I forgot to tell you that the amphibious potion you invented is quite effective."

"Just passing the time."

"As usual, give me a copy of the recipe and I'll give you a share later."

"what ever......"

"If you two have finished exchanging pleasantries, perhaps you could sit down. We have serious business to discuss." Dumbledore pointed to the two chairs in front of the desk with a smile, motioning for them to sit down.

Sebastian casually pulled out a chair and sat down. While adjusting the angle of the chair, he casually asked, "Principal, what do you want from us now?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "There are some unexpected changes that need to be discussed."

Then, he signaled Snape with his eyes: "Severus."

Snape nodded and gently pulled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the snake-shaped Death Eater mark on his arm.

"In the past six months, this mark has become more and more obvious, no longer as faint as before."

"During the competition just now, this mark reacted quite actively. When Harry helped rescue the prisoners, there was even a slight burning sensation coming from the mark."

so......

It looks like a special baby is also following the game on magic TV.

It's not surprising that there was a reaction. It was probably the baby laughing at Harry's act of saving people.

"Principal," Sebastian said, "We all know that You-Know-Who will definitely be a little stronger after getting Peter's help."

"So, isn't it normal for the mark to get darker?"

"Please be patient, Sebastian," Dumbledore stretched out his hand and pressed it down, "Listen to Severus continue."

Snape showed a half-smile on his face: "The change of this mark is not unexpected to us, but it obviously caused someone to panic."

Sebastian's heart moved, and he restrained his teasing tone: "Karkaroff?"

"That's him," Snape glanced at Sebastian, "He was terrified and came to me more than once to express his concerns."

"He was worried that the mysterious man was about to return, so he started thinking about various places to escape to. Africa and Asia were both his destinations."

As a former Death Eater, Snape understood why Karkaroff was in a panic.

This guy betrayed a lot of people in order to escape trial. It is only natural to target him after the Dark Lord recovers.

Judging from the Dark Lord's methods of torture, if Karkaroff really fell into his hands, death would be the best relief.

Thinking of this, Snape's mouth curled into a scornful smile.

"Just now, he came to me and expressed his desire to stay in Hogwarts and seek asylum. He was even willing to be a gate guard and asked me to be the middleman to persuade the headmaster to let him stay."

Seeking asylum?

Also look at the gate!

This is indeed quite unexpected.

Why, the gate of Hogwarts smells so good, so many people are eyeing it.

But isn't Karkaroff a wolf? When Harry was chosen as a warrior, he showed his joy.

And he even stole a glance at Barty Crouch. Sebastian would never believe that there was something fishy going on.

So, what is this about?

Clear yourself of suspicion and then come here as an undercover agent?

Was it the mysterious man's request or was it Little Batty's request?

Sebastian tapped the arm of his chair lightly and began to think about what Karkaroff meant by this.

Dumbledore was also somewhat speechless by Karkaroff's request.

The other party is the headmaster of Durmstrang, but he actually wanted to come to Hogwarts to guard the gate. He really has no shame at all.

However, the other party's strength is quite good. Should we win him over?

"Sebastian," Dumbledore said, a little more seriously, "what do you think of Karkaroff?"

"This man is too cunning. He is totally inconsistent with the ethos of Hogwarts. If he is allowed to guard the gate, I guess the gate of Hogwarts will feel unlucky."

Sensing that Dumbledore was somewhat moved, Sebastian had no intention of holding back and immediately complained about Karkaroff.

To be honest, if possible, Sebastian didn't bother to deal with this person at all.

This guy is like a bottle of shiny potion, with golden glitter on the outside, but once the lid is opened, it's filled with rotten black slime.

He is the headmaster of Durmstrang, but he does some tasteless things all day long. Among the five headmasters sitting together in this competition, this guy is the only one who can't stand up to the standard.

So, even though the opponent's strength was pretty good, Sebastian didn't feel tempted at all.

What's more, knowing that the other party is a wolf, only a fool would think of letting the wolf into the house.

Besides, if you really want to find a gatekeeper, you might as well invite back that handsome old man Grindelwald. Not only will he be more powerful, but you can also have fresh melons to eat every day.

Hearing Sebastian's comments, Dumbledore rubbed his brows and said, "I originally wanted to win over Karkaroff and have him join us in fighting against You-Know-Who. As you know, the next wizard war will come sooner or later, and I want to strengthen our strength as much as possible."

Fight for it...

Judging from Karkaroff's character, even if he had not colluded with Barty Jr., he was innocent. But when Voldemort really brought people to attack, this guy would definitely run faster than anyone else.

Sebastian smiled strangely. "Principal, to be honest with you, based on some clues, Karkaroff may have rejoined the mysterious man."

Hearing this, Snape turned his head suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Joined the mysterious man?

How can it be? !

How could the mysterious man's personality accept him?

If that's true, would his coming to Hogwarts be bad for Harry?

Good guy, he actually dared to play himself. Interesting!

It seems that I need to pay more attention to him in the future.

Dumbledore also sat up straight and looked at Sebastian with a serious expression: "This is a serious accusation. Do you have any evidence, Sebastian?"

Sebastian smiled and shook his head, leaning back in his chair. "There is no evidence that can be put on the table, but I believe my eyes will not be wrong."

"Besides, he hasn't done anything out of line until today. We can't find any evidence against him even if we want to."

"However, we can wait and see. If he really has any plan, it will definitely show up in the next game. We just need to be more careful then."

Dumbledore stroked his beard gently, acknowledging what Sebastian said.

"In that case, then be more careful. There's nothing else to do for now, Severus, go back and enjoy your dinner."

"Sebastian, please stay for a moment."
