Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 179: Snape’s analysis and doubts
As soon as the door to the office was closed, the classic villain smile on Snape's face disappeared without a trace like makeup removal, replaced by a gloomy look on his face.
"Professor Snape did a good job." Dudley could hardly help but applaud. "I guess everyone, including the Malfoys, will think you are gloating over Professor Dumbledore's dismissal."
"Professor Dumbledore won't be gone for long, but you still have to prepare for the worst." Snape glared at Dudley and said slowly: "Malfoy will not choose someone from Dumbledore's faction to manage. School."
"But they probably didn't expect that both you and McGonagall are actually Dumbledore's supporters." Dudley said briskly: "Even if Dumbledore leaves, he will not lose control of the school."
"Stop talking nonsense and just get to the point." Snape said angrily, "Professor Dumbledore already told me part of it before he left, but there are still some details he asked me to ask you... ....”
"For example, Horcruxes, and basilisks." At this point, Snape's face became solemn.
Dudley organized his thoughts and told Snape the relevant information about Voldemort's Horcrux. Since Dumbledore had already told Snape the word Horcrux, it meant that Snape was trustworthy in this regard.
"The Dark Lord actually made such a dangerous prop..." Snape frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the reason why you were attacked that day was because they thought one of them Horcruxes, do you have the diadem of Ravenclaw in your hands?"
"Yes, but they were a step late." Dudley also looked at Snape seriously: "We have already handed the crown to Professor Dumbledore in advance."
"But how did they order the Acromantula to attack you?" Snape crossed his fingers and frowned: "Let the Acromantula, which has been obeying Rubeus Hagrid's orders for so many years, cross the red line... ..."
"I don't have a clue how it was done, but if you want to ask who did it, I still have some clues." Dudley told Snape his guess about Goyle and Crabbe in a low voice.
After hearing Dudley's words, Snape thought for a moment, then stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room.
"You must have told Dumbledore these words." Snape said softly: "How did he reply to you at that time?"
"You should be able to guess his answer." Dudley sighed and stared at Snape closely: "But I have to say, I don't agree with his approach - it is too passive."
In fact, Dudley had never liked Dumbledore's overly passive way of dealing with things, and his being too merciful to his enemies.Especially after Aragog attacked them that night, Dudley doubted whether there was a more appropriate course of action than Dumbledore.
Now that it has been discovered that Goyle and Crabbe have become the enemy's subordinates, the best way is to find a way to control them first, and then search their belongings to prevent them from causing trouble.
"I know what you are thinking." Snape stopped and seemed to have seen through Dudley's thoughts: "But do you still remember, this is how I treated you last year - without evidence? I will take away your freedom."
Dudley's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that what he was thinking was exactly the same as what Snape had done last year.
But after pondering for a moment, Dudley said in a deep voice: "Maybe this is indeed a bit unscrupulous, but I still think there is nothing wrong with doing this. If we don't resolve the problem decisively, it will only make things worse."
Snape thought for a moment, and Dudley could tell that he actually agreed with his point of view, but he couldn't make up his mind yet because he was worried about repeating the same mistakes as last year.
"I understand, but I can't imprison them for no reason." Snape said slowly: "I will find an excuse to reduce their free time, for example, let them only make up classes at my place before the gate is closed."
Dudley nodded, this seemed to be a safer approach.
"But there is one more question." Snape looked at Dudley seriously: "If Goyle and Crabbe were the ones controlling the Acromantula, then who was it that released the Basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets?"
Dudley was silent. Snape stared at Dudley's expression and said in a low voice, "Looking at you, you already have an idea of this?"
"I do have some guesses, but they are just guesses." Dudley frowned and said softly: "Give me a little more time, and I will verify my guesses as soon as possible."
Snape did not ask further questions, waved his hand and said, "Since the basilisk saved you at that time, it at least means that it is not our enemy for the time being... I will leave the matter about the basilisk to you. "
"By the way, about Lucius Malfoy, your old friend." Dudley looked at Snape, "Did you notice anything wrong with him?"
Snape returned to his seat behind the desk: "If anything is wrong, he looks a little more haggard than before."
"I feel like that's more than that," Dudley recalled seeing Lucius in the morning. "Do you know what he usually does in that makeshift office?"
"Lucius seems to be randomly inviting faculty, staff and students of the school to conduct interviews and surveys about Professor Dumbledore's teaching level." Snape frowned and said, "It seems that he is a very suitable person for his task. The work is very reasonable.”
But Dudley became vigilant. In the original work, this plot was not written after Lucius drove Dumbledore away. In any case, this abnormal situation deserves the most attention.
And if it was such an ordinary job, why was he so nervous when Draco Malfoy asked to come to his office?
Dudley told Snape the conversation between father and son that he overheard this morning. After listening to it, Snape tapped his fingers on the desk rhythmically and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, although he has already summoned There are only a few faculty members, but I, who is most familiar with him, have never been invited... This is indeed worthy of attention.”
"Okay, don't worry about this for now." Snape said softly: "I will find a way to ask Narcissa, maybe she can reveal some information to us."
After leaving Snape's office, Dudley returned to the Slytherin common room. Draco Malfoy looked gloating when he saw him.
"Look, the future headmaster of the school should be merciless to mudbloods like this - maybe all those mudbloods without talent will be expelled from school soon." Draco seemed to think that Dudley was scolded by Snape A meal.
Dudley ignored Draco and walked straight to his target - Pansy, who was reading a book on the sofa and waiting for him.
"Dudley, I just heard that you were called away by Snape. Nothing happened?"
"Pansy, are you free now?" Dudley interrupted Pansy and looked into her eyes seriously: "Can you come with me? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Professor Snape did a good job." Dudley could hardly help but applaud. "I guess everyone, including the Malfoys, will think you are gloating over Professor Dumbledore's dismissal."
"Professor Dumbledore won't be gone for long, but you still have to prepare for the worst." Snape glared at Dudley and said slowly: "Malfoy will not choose someone from Dumbledore's faction to manage. School."
