Chapter 415: Hogwarts, a Sieve

All the doubts seemed to disappear at this moment, and Harry's heart finally felt unprecedented relief.

Although he still found it difficult to accept the fact that his father, James Potter, was once a school bully, he had to admit that James was not completely useless and that his shining points did exist.

This realization made Harry's tense heart feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his body slowly relaxed.

At the same time, he also understood a truth: his origin, his bloodline, his name, these are all arranged by fate, he cannot choose, nor can he change. Instead of being confused and ashamed of the things in the past that he cannot control, it is better to let go of the burden and focus on the future.

"Are you feeling better?" Sebastian's gentle voice sounded in Harry's ears, interrupting his thoughts.

He raised his head, with a look of relief in his eyes: "Much better, I'm not so upset anymore."

"In that case, let's have breakfast." Sebastian called the house-elves to prepare a hearty breakfast for Harry.

Seeing the delicious food on the table, Harry's stomach growled. He smiled sheepishly, picked up a piece of bread and started eating.

"Professor...how did you know I didn't have breakfast? My Occlumency..."

He asked the question in his mind vaguely. Logically speaking, his acting skills should be flawless, and Professor Swann also admitted that his brain blocking technique was perfect.

"There is nothing wrong with Occlumency, but remember that emotions can also reveal secrets. Remember to pay attention to emotional issues when using Occlumency in the future."

Harry nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and hesitantly asked the second question in his mind: "Professor, I...how should I apologize to Professor Snape? I don't dare to face him."

"Don't be so stubborn. Be more diplomatic." Sebastian waved his hand. "Although you didn't mean to do that, those memories are deep scars for Severus. Don't let him know you saw it. It will only make the situation worse."

"He's a very proud person. If he knew that you had seen his memories, he would be very embarrassed. So, let's stop here and keep it to ourselves as if nothing happened."

Harry frowned, bit the last piece of bread, and nodded thoughtfully: "I understand. But is Professor Snape really a Death Eater?"

"Well," Sebastian paused, "He was unlucky and was drafted by a mysterious man. But don't worry, he won't hurt you."

"Now that you have mastered Occlumency, you are also qualified to access some secrets."

secret?

Harry perked up, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth casually with the back of his hand, and then stared at Sebastian with burning eyes.

"Harry, Severus is Headmaster Dumbledore's man. To put it bluntly, he is an undercover agent planted by the Headmaster in the You-Know-Who team."

Merlin!

Harry took a deep breath. This news was so explosive that it instantly cheered him up.

Great, Professor Snape is not a bad guy, he is doing a great job.

It turned out that I had learned the brain-blocking technique correctly, otherwise, the professors would have always treated me as a child and would not tell me any news.

No wonder, there is a special connection between him and Voldemort, and they can see each other's brains. If he knew this information before learning the brain-blocking technique, it would be dangerous.

"So, Harry, you can trust Severus at any time."

Harry nodded heavily: "I understand! By the way, Professor, is there any other secret I can know?"

"Of course," Sebastian smiled gently, "and the second point is that there are bad people among the visitors to Hogwarts. You have to be more careful."

"Karkaroff!" Harry blurted out, repeating what Snape had told him.

"Karkaroff is one, but he probably won't attack you directly. Barty Crouch is more dangerous to you. Also, Professor Moody is not completely without suspicion, but the suspicion on him is very low, so don't worry too much. Finally, when the third game comes, you'd better pay attention to the warriors from other schools, as they may also bring danger to you."

How could this be?

Harry's eyes widened.

So many suspects?

In this case, Hogwarts would be like a sieve. It would be too messy.

"Harry, the You-Know-Who has been trying to abduct you from Hogwarts," Sebastian continued, "This is related to his resurrection ritual. Those people came here to cooperate with his plan."

"Resurrection ceremony? What does it have to do with me?"

"It's very relevant." Sebastian's tone became serious. "It is an ancient black magic, one of the links requires the enemy to be forced to donate blood. For the mysterious man, resurrection with your blood is the most perfect."

Harry frowned, with many unanswered questions in his mind. He looked at Sebastian, waiting for further explanation.

"You know, your mother left you a powerful protective magic. It exists in your blood and once allowed you to escape being killed by a mysterious person."

"Therefore, after the You-Know-Who failed, a rumor spread in the wizarding world: Harry Potter is the savior and the You-Know-Who can't even touch him. This rumor dealt a heavy blow to the You-Know-Who's prestige and even caused his followers to waver."

"However, if the mysterious man uses your blood to complete the resurrection ritual, he will be able to dispel such rumors. Not only will he be able to touch you openly, but he will also be able to re-establish his own authority, which is crucial to his comeback."

Now a problem arises. The mysterious man is very suspicious. In his current very weak condition, he would not dare to use Harry's blood even if it is given to him.

He only believed in his own plan and the blood taken from Harry on the spot, so if he wanted to revive him, he had to cooperate with him in the trick, otherwise he would most likely give up the resurrection, continue to hide and look for opportunities.

By then, without the advantage of foresight, Harry's situation might become even more dangerous.

The risk of going along with the plan was equally great, as he would have at least five minutes to face the You-Know-Who alone before rescuing Harry.

So, Sebastian explained it in detail and left the decision to Harry himself.

"Professor, I wish..."

"Don't rush to answer," Sebastian waved his hand to interrupt Harry who was about to express his opinion, "This is a matter of life and death. You have enough time to think slowly before the third game. I see you didn't sleep well last night, so go back and take a nap now."

Harry nodded and left Sebastian's office. On the way back to the dormitory, he kept muttering to himself.

There is no need to hesitate about dealing with the mysterious man. Isn't this the day you have been working so hard for?

Wait a minute. Anyway, from what Professor Swan said, we can tell that the key lies in the third game, so we just need to prepare well before that.

By the way, I also want to show off my brain-blocking skills to Draco inadvertently, so that he knows how powerful I am, hehe.
