Chapter 1293: The helplessness of the old bat

From the fact that there was no concrete evidence to prove that he murdered Dumbledore, and he was released from the bounty by the Ministry of Magic, to being appointed as the headmaster of Hogwarts by the school board, Snape behaved quite calmly throughout the whole process, as if everything was taken for granted. thing.

When he returned to Hogwarts, he ignored Hagrid's murderous gaze and went directly to the headmaster's office through the castle's oak gate. During the short journey, Snape could feel the hatred eyes of his former colleagues. Although they were very careful to hide their anger and hatred, Snape knew that his former colleagues did not welcome him and even wanted to kill him. He avenged Dumbledore.

Yet, ironically, he also only did what Dumbledore told him to do.

"As you wish, I'm back and the most unpopular person!"

After entering the principal's office, Snape came to the portrait of the former principal and said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Hogwarts school has completely fallen into the hands of Voldemort," the sleeping old man opened his eyes, looked at the successor in front of him, and said calmly: "I hope you can fulfill your old oath and do your best strength to protect Hogwarts students."

"It's not easy." Snape said softly, moving his lips. "The Dark Lord asked me to expel all Muggle-born students. You know I don't have much choice."

After a moment of silence, Dumbledore smiled and said, "This is expected, isn't it? Just like Salazar Slytherin, they are all prejudiced against Muggle wizards and want to drive them out of Holland." Gwartz."

"The situation is worse than you expected."

Snape couldn't understand Dumbledore's calmness, and took out a newspaper from a few days ago from his robe pocket: "Perhaps, you may not be clear, there is now a Muggle Wizard Registration Committee in the Ministry of Magic, and they are going to Those Muggle-borns sent to Azkaban."

"Oh, that looks like something they would do."

Dumbledore's portrait said so lightly, which made Snape extremely annoyed.

Sure enough, after death, people become indifferent to many things.

"As far as I know, the Dark Lord also intends to have Yaxley erase the Muggle-born registration records from 1985 to the present." Snape directly threw the newspaper on the table, and the voice made many people pretend to sleep and eavesdrop. portraits with open eyes.

"Some things are no longer something that I can do with all my strength."

There was a little self-mockery in Snape's indifferent tone. He actually didn't care much about the situation of Muggle wizards. It was an agreement between them to protect Hogwarts students as much as possible, but some things are out of his control right now, even if he wants to help, there is nothing he can do.

"You don't need to worry about these things, Mr. Anderson has already predicted them in advance." Dumbledore smiled and looked at Snape, and softly comforted him, "As for the registration records of Muggle birth from 1985 to the present, it has long been reported by Albert and Sk Lin Jie has been removed from the Ministry of Magic, and even if the Death Eaters wanted to turn against them, it is unlikely that they will find that list."

"Other things must have been solved by you?" Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in the portrait.

"You don't have to worry about this." Dumbledore said calmly, "Muggle-born students in Hogwarts, you just need to say yes to the outside world and expel Muggle-born students according to the requirements of the Ministry of Magic. Those poor kids, Mr. Anderson will help them."

"Albert Anderson?"

When Snape heard the name, he suddenly sneered, "As far as I know, that guy is not that kind of person."

"Don't be prejudiced. Mr. Anderson has been helping them silently. It is because of his help that many things will not go to the other extreme and will not turn to a bad ending."

Dumbledore still recognized Albert's dedication and hard work, but some things did not shift according to his will.

Now, with Albert as the backing guarantee for the plan, even the deans of the school have chosen to help those Muggle-born students, and the situation of those children is worse than expected

Much better, Dumbledore wasn't worried about them being thrown into Azkaban.

Snape didn't bother to argue with Dumbledore, as long as Dumbledore had a way to solve those problems, he was confident that Hogwarts would transition smoothly under his control instead of leaving Hogwarts at the mercy of Death Eaters .

There was a knock on the door of the headmaster's office, and Snape ended his conversation with Dumbledore's portrait.

The gloomy Professor McGonagall opened the door and walked in, looked indifferently at the murderer sitting in the seat of the principal's office, and asked with trembling lips, "Principal, what do you want from me?"

"I think you should have read the newspapers, and you know that the Ministry of Magic has recently established a Muggle-born committee." Snape continued without looking at his former colleagues, "According to the latest laws enacted by the Ministry of Magic, they consider Muggle-born A wizard born of melon stole the wizard's magic..."

"That's ridiculous!" interrupted Professor McGonagall, screaming.

"This is an order from the Ministry of Magic. If you have any objections to this, I suggest you go and protest to the Ministry of Magic." Snape said indifferently, "What I want to say is that Hogwarts will start next semester, no longer Muggle-borns are accepted, and those Muggle-borns at Hogwarts are expelled."

As he spoke, he threw a letter on the table.

"This is a request from the Ministry of Magic. I don't want Aurors coming to Hogwarts to capture those Muggle-born prisoners!"

Professor McGonagall bit her lip and clenched her fists, but she obviously knew that there was no point in continuing to argue, at least these things were completely within their expectations.

"There's another thing." Snape looked at Professor McGonagall who almost slammed the door, "I've already found a suitable candidate for the vacancies of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Professor of Muggle Studies."

However, Professor McGonagall has left.

Snape didn't care about the other party's rudeness, raised his wand and closed the office door, then turned his gaze back to Dumbledore's portrait.

"I don't know how they'll feel if they know I'm just doing what you tell them to do," Snape sneered.

"You have done an excellent job, and I count on you to continue to gain Voldemort's trust for as long as possible," said Dumbledore.

"The Dark Lord wants the Gryffindor sword," Snape said suddenly.

"This is also within my expectation." Dumbledore nodded and ordered, "Move my portrait."

Snape frowned, but moved closer to Dumbledore's portrait and pulled it away.

When the portrait is opened, it reveals a hole hidden in the back, which actually hides a Gryffindor sword.

"this…"

"That sword is fake, you can take it to Voldemort," said Dumbledore.

"Fake?" Snape looked taken aback.

"I dare say that Voldemort has never seen the real Gryffindor sword and cannot recognize it, because this sword is a very realistic imitation." Dumbledore explained: "In fact, most wizards, except goblins, cannot recognize it. It has properties that only goblin-made weapons have. So, you don't have to worry about Voldemort recognizing it as a counterfeit."

"Gryffindor's sword is important?" Snape asked subconsciously.

"I need you to deliver the real sword to Harry at the right time." Dumbledore acknowledged the importance of the Gryffindor sword.

"What is it for?" Snape took out the imitation Gryffindor's sword from inside, "Did you expect Potter to use it to kill You-Know-Who."

"Yes."

"It's not funny at all," Snape was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's perfunctory, "You won't tell me anything."

"I can't put all my secrets in one basket, especially a basket that hangs on Voldemort's arm for a lot of time." Dumbledore shook his head. "Besides, the less people know about some things, the better."

"What about Anderson? You even asked him to help you with Potter's will~www.NovelMTL.com~ Snape was puzzled and annoyed by this, and accused, "You obviously trust him more."

"I didn't tell Mr. Anderson too much, and he figured out a lot of things himself.

Well, don't forget, he's a master prophecy and has a smarter brain than most people, so I don't have much choice but to trust him. Mr. Anderson also proved himself to be credible, and there were times when neither he nor I had a choice. "

For Dumbledore, Albert was a surprise.

"That guy is not one to do what others tell him to do," Snape reminded.

"I never ordered him, we're just...a partnership."

"It seems that the people who worked with Anderson didn't end well." Snape sneered.

"That's our own choice, whether it's me or Scrimgeour." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with Mr. Anderson."
