It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 419 Master
"Are you ready for retirement? Are you going to let Professor McGonagall take over your job?"

Sherlock stopped worrying about Dumbledore's going to be the shopkeeper at this time, and asked him about his preparations afterwards.

Dumbledore stared at him, chuckling.

"Before I recruited you into Hogwarts, or before I decided on today's plan, I really wanted Minerva to take over my job. But now, do you think she can still understand?" Do you deserve to be the principal of this school?"

Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

"why not?"

"Don't take it for granted as a grown-up, Sherlock," said Dumbledore. "You know very well that it would be wrong to force Minerva to sit in my place, and you below her. It caused her a lot of trouble. And not long ago, I asked her what she thought, and she seemed to respect you more."

Sherlock and Dumbledore looked at each other.

"So, none of you intend to ask my opinion?"

"I'm trying to understand your thoughts, Sherlock. I know very well that you are not so keen on the so-called power, otherwise when Scrimgeour offered you an olive branch, you would have already gone to the Ministry of Magic to develop, Coupled with today's feat, it is not an exaggeration to directly succeed him as the Minister of Magic, and a Hogwarts headmaster is nothing."

Dumbledore said seriously.

"If you really don't want to take over my position in the end, you can continue to be the current professor of defense. I will persuade Minerva to become the principal. Except that I will not be in the castle, everything in the school will remain the same as usual .It's just that your life is destined to not be as peaceful as before, and this is what you have to accept now."

Sherlock rubbed his forehead with some headache.

To be honest, the reason why he didn't want to accept Dumbledore's headmaster was to avoid being in public for too long in the future.

Sherlock has always felt that being a public figure is tiring, whether in ordinary society or in the magical world.

Some people rush after fame and wealth, but Sherlock shows some avoidance.

But one thing Dumbledore said is not wrong at all, that is, no matter what, his future life will not become as dull as it used to be.

This problem is not something that Sherlock can figure out and make a decision in a short time. When encountering a problem that he can't solve for the time being, Sherlock's choice is to escape first.

"We'll talk about your retirement later. Anyway, even if you're so anxious to leave, you won't be able to hand over the work in a day or two. You also plan to take the money you have with the Wizengamot and the International Federation of Wizards." Have you resigned from your position?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"I do need some time to prepare, and it is indeed more than one thing to call you here today."

His tone became serious, and Sherlock knew that what he was going to say to himself next was the focus of the conversation tonight.

"After you left in the afternoon, Scrimgeour also came to the scene of the war. He directed the Aurors to arrest all the Death Eaters caught there. I took this opportunity and asked him to help kill several core Death Eaters. The disciples were gathered together, and after using magic to wear away their will to resist, they used insanity to see a large part of Voldemort's memory."

"The most critical of these is about Harry."

"Harry?" Sherlock frowned.

"That's right, it's Harry. The summer vacation is here. Harry has said many times that he would dream that he would become Voldemort at night. You knew about this matter at the time. I realized from the beginning that since Harry Being able to see the situation on Voldemort's side, Voldemort may not be able to discover this in the future, and use this to influence Harry."

"And not long ago, he really discovered this too. He and his most loyal subordinates made arrangements, intending to perform a different performance against Harry in the future, and then lure Harry out. But this Before the plan was implemented, he had already encountered what happened today."

"Of course, these are not the key points. The real key lies in what is the connection between Harry and Voldemort."

Dumbledore looked at Sherlock without blinking.

"Regarding this point, I told you not long ago that I had a guess, but now, I think this guess can be said to be basically confirmed."

"More than ten years ago, on the night when Voldemort learned of the prophecy from Snape, he was going to kill the boy in the prophecy who could defeat him in the future. A Horcrux split out."

Sherlock's breathing became a little rough, and he seemed to be able to guess how shocking the world would be if the news Dumbledore said next was spread.

"He didn't even know about it. Harry's mother, that is, Lily, became a victim of this Horcrux and helped him successfully split his soul for the seventh time, and the split soul was the Stay with Harry Potter all the time!"

Hogwarts seemed extraordinarily quiet late at night.

Snape's office was still brightly lit.

He needs plenty of light when making potions, so there are countless candlesticks suspended directly above him, illuminating the area around the cauldron.

He did not participate in any capacity in yesterday's battle.

Voldemort hadn't yet reached that kind of unreserved trust in him, and he didn't inform him of this private operation in advance.

And because there is no way to determine the final result of the battle, the Order of the Phoenix has no plan to let him participate in the battle.

If it didn't develop to the best result like today, then Snape would continue to be his double agent.

Fortunately, the current situation is also what he most wants to see.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want Harry, who had Lily's remnant soul on his body, to encounter any danger later. Now that the biggest danger, Voldemort, was gone, Snape felt that he could temporarily put a tense My heart is relieved.

Just as he was gently stirring the potion in the crucible, thinking about the changes that would take place in the wizarding world after tonight, a transparent and blurry figure passed through his door.

Even if he didn't keep his focus, Snape noticed the abnormality immediately.

At first, he subconsciously thought it was Peeves, the naughtiest ghost in the school, and he was so bold that he dared to come to him in the middle of the night to make trouble, but when he completely saw that figure that was even more illusory than a ghost, the whole The human body froze!

"Lily!"

Lily was very nervous, she looked at Snape beggingly, just like the expression she begged the mysterious man to let Harry go that night more than ten years ago.

"Go and save Harry. Severus please go and save him."

Snape's face immediately became dark, he quickly put the robe on the hanger on himself, and then gave up the precious potion in the pot without hesitation, and walked quickly with Lily Get out of the office.

"What's wrong with Potter?" Snape had time to ask after leaving the office as quickly as possible.

Lily was very panicked, with anxiety and anxiety in her voice.

"I don't know, in the afternoon, something suddenly appeared in his body. I don't know what it is, he is very powerful, even the protective magic I left for Harry can't be effectively blocked. I was ostracized, the thing was still in Harry's body, I could feel that something was wrong with Harry, I also went to the office of Professor Forrest and Professor Dumbledore, but they were not there, I can only come to you."

After listening to Lily's retelling, Snape's heart became more and more heavy.

He didn't understand what was going on with Harry, but his senses told him it was definitely not an easy thing!

Quickly came to the entrance of the Gryffindor lounge. Even without a password, as one of the four heads of Hogwarts, Snape had sufficient authority to enter and exit from here.

Before going in, he specially kept an eye out. Just in case, he asked the fat lady in charge of the gate to inform Professor McGonagall, and he would come to Harry's dormitory immediately after waking her up.

After entering the Gryffindor lounge, under Lily's guidance, Snape found Harry's dormitory.

He pushed the door directly and walked in.

Snape didn't hide his movements. He opened the door loudly, waking up Seamus and Ron, who were relatively light sleepers. They lifted the curtains of the four-poster bed with blank faces, and watched Snape walk into Harry's house. Lee's bed.

Just as soon as he entered this dormitory, Snape already felt a familiar aura that made him feel uneasy.

And after seeing the looming black mist around Harry, his whole body trembled!
"go out!"

This sentence is what he said to Ron and several people.

Seamus and the others were a little afraid of Snape, although they didn't figure it out, they quickly put on their clothes and left the dormitory.

Ron was worried about Harry, he didn't leave immediately, and when he wanted to ask something, Snape had already swung his wand violently, and threw him out of the dormitory.

And Harry, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Snape who was watching him, there was no panic or doubt on his face, his calm eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

"Severus, you are indeed my most loyal subordinate, you recognized me right away."

Hearing another familiar tone from that familiar voice, Snape called out the address in a trembling voice.

"Master."
