The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Who!"

boom--

Following Snape's roar, he swung his right hand back violently, and a huge invisible blade shot out, directly splitting the shelf behind him in half.

What was placed on the shelf were his most precious medicine refining equipment and specimens, and there was no trace of reluctance in Snape's scarlet eyes at the moment.

He was extremely irritable and in a rage!

However, the next moment, the appearance of a voice made all Snape's anger disappear.

Because that voice said - 'I love you'.

"Lily..."

Snape slumped back into his chair.

He couldn't believe his ears.

No, to be precise, this has nothing to do with the ears, because the sound came directly from my head.

This is very unreasonable, because at this moment, he can clearly feel that his master-level Occlumency is still operating at full strength.

If that's the case, how did this sound come about?

Did he miss Lily so much that he had the illusion?

It's not impossible.

In the past night, he had consumed so much mental energy in studying the 'space anchor' that his consciousness had become trance-like.

Snape took out a refreshing potion and drank it in one gulp, then shook his head vigorously in an attempt to wake himself up.

But it was of no use, because the next moment, the voice appeared again.

'I love you, I love you, I love you, I...'

This time the sound came even faster.

The glass test tube, which still had some liquid medicine inside, slipped from his hand, making a sharp sound of breaking glass.

Snape stared at the wall in front of him, tears welling up from his swollen eyes.

This time he heard clearly, it was Lily's voice.

And the Lily's voice in his mind was still telling the words that Snape had once dreamed of.

Only Snape himself knew that every time he saw Lily, he would silently recite his love for Lily deep in his heart.

This is his own secret.

The reason why he learned Occlumency in the first place was just because he wanted to keep this secret.

It's not that he wants to be a double agent.

Now, Lily finally responded to him.

Although Snape also knew very well that this was very unreasonable. Lily's soul had long since dissipated. Even if it still existed, it was impossible for her to come to him specifically to say something to him.

So the sounds he heard now were probably his hallucinations.

But Snape's scarred heart was still healed.

For more than ten years, he has been wandering between the two major forces of Dumbledore and Voldemort. His purpose is to help Lily avenge herself.

The hard work and psychological pressure endured cannot be described with a simple sentence of hardship.

He was so tired.

Without the blessing of Occlumency, he would have collapsed long ago.

But it's fine now.

His hard work was recognized.

The moment he heard Lily's voice, he felt that all his hard work in the past was worth it!

"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. I hurt you..."

Snape cried and fell to his knees.

This belated apology stayed buried in his heart for decades.

It is both regret for having been provoked by James Potter decades ago and unintentionally calling Lily a mudblood, and also guilt for Lily's death.

If it weren't for his stubbornness, Lily might have been with him by now.

If it weren't for his stupidity, maybe Lily should have done it at this time.

Even though she has become someone else's wife and given birth to a child.

But at least I can see her from a distance and listen to her voice.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

It was he who overheard Trelawney's prophecy about Voldemort and revealed it to Voldemort.

Although he begged and begged Voldemort and even Dumbledore to let Lily go.

But the girl in his dream died in the end.

He was killed by him!

It's all his fault!

And now, he longs for forgiveness.

But the expected affirmation did not appear.

Not only that.

The moment he said those words, even the beautiful voice that had been lingering in his mind suddenly stopped.

This is like a total rejection of him!

"Do not--"

Snape howled miserably like a mother animal that had lost its cubs.

Driven by his emotions, uncontrolled magic spurted out from every pore of his body, forming a terrifying magic tornado in the underground office. 33 novel network

The sharp magic power continued to rage, and all the potion equipment he cherished in the past were crushed into powder.

But at this moment, Snape had no time to care.

His hard work was denied.

Lily is unwilling to forgive herself!

why?

Isn't it because I haven't done enough?

Yes!

It must be so!

Harry Potter!

Lily's only son!

He is still in danger, he is not completely safe yet!

That's why Lily doesn't want to forgive herself!

Thinking of this, Snape's gray eyes lit up again.

It was as if he was grasping the only life-saving straw, and his clenched fists were shaking from the excessive force.

This is the last time.

He was sure of this, as long as he could save Harry Potter, then his sins could be redeemed and Lily could forgive herself.

As for what to do?

This is not a problem at all.

Throughout the past night, Snape had made sufficient estimates of various possibilities.

There is always a way, it's just that he doesn't want to do it.

Harry Potter's greatest danger is Dumbledore.

So, just kill Dumbledore.

This is not impossible.

As long as he could set up the 'space anchor' in the principal's office to attract the people Harry wanted to attract and cause chaos, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos and kill Dumbledore.

Then, he can take Harry far away.

Maybe they could find a place to live in seclusion, like Sirius and Harry were doing now.

Snape's wish was also simple.

He just wanted to atone for his sins, and by the way, it would be best if he could see Harry's eyes every day. After all, those eyes were really similar to Lily's.

The only problem with this plan is Link.

Dumbledore had to die.

Harry would never be safe as long as he lived.

This guy talks a lot about benevolence and morality, but in fact he has no heart at all.

For the safety of the entire world, he will definitely hunt Harry to the ends of the earth.

Valley Gate</span>The pursuit of a senior legendary wizard was obviously something he and Harry could not bear.

But what about Link?

After what he had done, would Link hunt him down like Dumbledore?

Snape didn't know, he didn't even dare think about it.

He couldn't kill, and he didn't want to kill Link.

That child is one of those rare people who truly loves him, even though his methods are somewhat unacceptable.

So Snape could only hope that Link would let them go for the sake of the past.

This possibility is still quite large.

After all, Link did not place himself in the highest position of 'world savior' like Dumbledore. He was selfish.

For Link, some things are more important than the world, such as family.

Link might be able to do things like destroy the world for the sake of his family.

This is not a derogatory description, especially for Snape.

Therefore, in a sense, he felt that Link actually treated him as a family member, and this meant that Link might still seek selfish benefits for him.

After thinking about this, Snape felt his whole body relax.

It feels so good to have made a real decision.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, then collapsed on the workbench, and fell asleep due to excessive mental energy consumption.

At the same time, what Snape didn't know was that the skull-shaped mark of the dark devil on his arm was twitching as if it had come to life, with touches of red and gold, as if it were a saint stained by blood. Light.

……

After a long time, Snape woke up again.

The disgusting aroma of food fermented in the flue once again filled the office, accurately telling Snape the time.

It is already night.

"Um--"

Snape groaned.

The long period of drowsiness did not fully replenish the mental energy he had consumed.

The direct result of this was that his head was still in pain.

Snape rubbed his temples while thinking about his previous plan again.

When faced with difficult decisions, take a nap first.

In order to avoid falling into the whirlpool of emotions and making wrong decisions.

This is a habit he has developed over a long period of time.

very effective.

But this time, this method failed.

That horrible tangled feeling is still there.

Fortunately, he had already made his decision.

Snape stood up, used his wand to smooth out the wrinkles on his clothes caused by sleep, and then walked towards the door.

It's time for him to go to the principal's office.

This may be quite difficult for other professors and students.

Especially after the official reorganization of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has left most of the work he was previously responsible to the group of professors in charge of Professor McGonagall and the group of students now represented by John. For extremely important matters, most people would not be able to see him, let alone enter his office.

But this was not a big problem for Snape.

Because his excuse for entering Dumbledore's office was ready.

No, that can't be said to be an excuse!

Because Snape really wanted to question Dumbledore!

"Whoosh-"

Snape strode down the corridor.

The hem of the big robe kept dancing in the air with his steps, making a roaring sound and reflecting his figure like a big bat.

Come to the auditorium.

As he expected, dinner was going on here.

Hundreds of students were gathering on both sides of the long tables in their respective colleges, enjoying the food noisily.

This is everyday life at Hogwarts.

During meal time, especially dinner time, professors never bother to control the students' manners too much. After all, this is a rare time for students to relax completely.

It is precisely because of this that students at Hogwarts often do some unimaginable things during meal time.

For example, the Big Eater Competition.

For example, treat food as ammunition and start a food fight.

Of course, the latter has been banned by Link, the school director, after the restructuring.

The former also turned into a drinking contest.

The reason is that Link can't stand people wasting food.

In this commotion, Snape caught a glimpse of Harry hiding in the crowd.

He didn't look as tough as he did in his office yesterday.

At this moment, he has completely returned to his original weak, yet somewhat stubborn feeling.

He obviously didn't dare to look at him, and felt extremely guilty, but he still had to look this way with his neck stiffened and his eyes glaring, which directly led to his current appearance, as if he was ready to rush over and punch Snape at any time. Same.

This look is exactly the same as that playboy James Potter!

"Ah--"

Snape snorted dissatisfiedly, and then continued to walk to the faculty seats deep in the auditorium.

It should be halfway through the meal time at this point.

So the faculty seats seemed a bit empty.

Except for a few professors such as Professor McGonagall, the rest of the staff had left early.

Of course Dumbledore will not leave.

At this moment, he was sitting on the main seat with his hands clasped in his hands, looking at the messy students in front of him with a smile.

It's his favorite thing to do.

According to him, the scene of students laughing freely can make him feel extremely peaceful and happy.

Snape couldn't understand this.

In such an environment, he only felt noisy.

Dumbledore naturally noticed Snape, and he raised the goblet of juice in his hand and saluted Snape with a smile.

Perhaps in his opinion, Snape should have come to dine normally.

But Snape walked up to him expressionlessly and said:

"Dumbledore, I need to talk to you."

"Severus, does it have to be at this time?" Dumbledore shook his head, "This is my rare free moment."

"The thing I want to talk to you about is Harry."

As soon as Snape said this, the smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared instantly.

He raised his head and stared at Snape, but he could not read any emotion from Snape's expressionless face.

After a while, he nodded seriously, stood up and led Snape towards the hall.

Behind them, the laughter and noise in the auditorium continued.

No one thought it was a big deal when Dumbledore and Snape left.

This is really a common thing.

Only Harry.

His eyes were always focused on the backs of Dumbledore and Snape until the two disappeared into the dark hall.

"Um--"

Harry nervously covered his chest.

He could feel his heart beating very fast there.

He knew that the most important moment in his life might be coming.

He didn't know what choice Snape would make.

The only thing he could do now was pray.

"Mom, please protect me."
