Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

After Snape left, Dean was stunned for a long time, unable to recover.

Dean was reflecting, was he too anxious?

He really didn't want to see Snape die in doubt.

Although Dean had the system, he would definitely save Snape, but he felt that just saving Snape's life was not a real rescue. He wanted Snape to live and enjoy real respect.

Originally, Dean wanted to follow the original work as much as possible and not change the direction of history, but as he slowly integrated into the magical world, he found that this choice was not wise.

This feeling is even stronger after seeing characters such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Snape who will eventually die in the original work.

Dean began to wonder if it was really wise for Dumbledore to sacrifice so much in order to cultivate Harry as his savior.

Unfortunately, Dean had already promised Dumbledore not to hinder his plan to cultivate a savior, so Dean decided to influence the people he planned to save in other ways.

It is not necessary to wait until the moment when the characters who should not die in the original work are about to die before trying to turn the tide, but to prevent them from falling into despair from the beginning.

Quirrell is his first test subject. If he can successfully save Quirrell, Dean plans to readjust the rescue plan from the beginning of the next school year.

Speaking of Quirrell... Dean took out the Marauder's Map and took a look at it, and found that he was in his office. Dean decided to strike while the iron was hot and tell him how to tame Lu Wei.

……

"Severus, you are such a rare visitor. You rarely come to my office on your own initiative." Dumbledore said as he looked at Snape who was angry and pushed in the door.

"Dumbledore, don't you think you have told Dean too much?" Snape started to accuse him as soon as he came up.

"Severus, I have never told Thomas any details of the plan. Everything was guessed or predicted by him." Dumbledore looked into Snape's eyes and said, "You Know that kid has vision."

"Hmph, I don't believe you have no measures to protect your plan from being predicted." Snape snorted coldly.

"Of course there are necessary measures, but if you have a good understanding of prophecies, you will understand that this ability is impossible to prevent." Dumbledore said.

"This is no excuse!" Snape said angrily, "You know that the more he knows, the more dangerous it is for him, and his recent frequent interactions with Quirrell make me very uneasy."

"Severus, you care too much about Thomas. You almost never lose your composure, but as long as it concerns him, you can't control your emotions. This will be very dangerous." Dumbledore reminded implicitly.

"He should not have been involved from the beginning!" Snape said rudely. "We have obviously agreed that we will not give the child an admission letter and let him live in the Muggle world. I don't understand. Why did you suddenly change your mind again?"

"Because I found that his talent is different from ordinary people." Dumbledore said calmly, "It may sound a bit arrogant. I think that Harry's training plan is foolproof, and he will definitely become the savior to end that person, but - —”

Dumbledore's voice changed: "Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. What if, I mean, what if there is some irresistible accident and Harry fails? Who can turn the tide at that time?"

Dumbledore looked at Snape and asked: "Me? You? Horace? Alastor? Minerva? Kingsley? Or those little wizards who haven't graduated yet?"

"So Dean is your backup candidate?" Snape asked with difficulty, "If you plan to do this, why don't you give him more resources? Just let him grow up like this. At the last moment, he will have The ability to turn things around?"

"Severus, haven't you been questioning my over-protection of Harry? I think if Harry is still unable to bear the heavy responsibility under this situation, then no matter how many resources are given to Thomas, the outcome will not change, so for To train Thomas, simply take another extreme path and let him grow freely, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

"Maybe?" Snape couldn't help roaring, "You put your last hope on maybe?"

"Severus, don't worry. I have found the best teacher for Thomas. You should trust him." Dumbledore smiled.

"Who? I don't think there is a better teacher than you," Snape said.

"Then you praise me too much. To be honest, I really think that I am not as good as many people in teaching and educating people." Dumbledore said modestly, avoiding the important and taking the easy.

"Severus, when are you going to talk to Thomas about Xiao?" Dumbledore asked immediately without giving Snape a chance to ask further questions.

"...I'm not ready yet." Snape's attention was successfully diverted, and he said with difficulty after being silent for a while.

"It is indeed too difficult for you to tell him those things in person. If you agree, I can do it for you." Dumbledore said.

"No, I must tell him myself." Snape said through gritted teeth with a flash of pain in his eyes.

"It's up to you. But I think Thomas is also investigating. If he finds out from others, it might be detrimental to you," Dumbledore reminded.

"I'll think about it," Snape said lowly.

"Severus, that incident was not your fault. As long as you tell Thomas clearly, he will definitely understand." Dumbledore said.

"That's true, but you also know that our plan failed, and Xiao died in vain; if he hadn't done that, maybe Dean would be much happier than he is now." Snape whispered.

"This is why I have to find an alternative for Harry. No matter how perfect the plan is, it will go bankrupt due to accidents. Xiao was like this at the beginning, and Lily was like this..."

As soon as Dumbledore said this, he was painfully interrupted by Snape: "Stop talking! Do you know how it feels to lose them both at the same time overnight?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend, but I must remind you that it was just a coincidence." Dumbledore said apologetically.

"But this coincidence is too cruel to me!" Snape looked at Dumbledore and said every word.

"Indeed, but as I said to you that day, we should look forward so that we can be worthy of their sacrifice." Dumbledore sighed.

"That's enough! I will continue to implement your plan, but I want to remind you that if anything happens to Dean, the agreement between us will fail!" Snape said coldly.

"Severus, you have always had a prejudice that I favored Harry too much and ignored Thomas. In fact, I have always treated them equally." Dumbledore said softly.

"Forgive me, but I'm afraid no one except you would think so." Snape sneered.
