Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor - Quirrell

Harry was in a daze, but Quirrell and Lucius didn't bother him, but sat opposite him drinking coffee silently, waiting for Harry to figure it out and wake up.

After about 10 minutes, Harry obviously figured it out. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, obviously feeling very heavy: "My parents..."

"They died to protect you, they are a pair of good parents." Quirrell interjected, he felt that the child should not be disappointed too much.

"I understand, Professor Quirrell." Harry looked up and gave Quirrell a smile that was uglier than crying, "Like my uncles and aunts, they were very kind to Dudley, but to me, to many people, No, parents always love their children. I still love them too, it's just... I feel bad."

"You've grown up, Harry."

Finally, the smile on Harry's face this time was brighter. He picked up the hot cocoa that the elf had refilled, and drank it in big gulps, "Mr. Malfoy, what's next?"

"The next thing, we need you to make an unbreakable oath before we can continue, Harry."

"swear?"

"It's the name of a spell. The power of the spell will force you to keep your oath."

"Okay." Harry nodded without hesitation.Harry and Lucius are the swearers of both parties, and Quirrell as a witness made an oath: what Harry saw and heard next, no matter what the circumstances, he will not confide in any way to the wizard, Muggles, magical creatures, or alchemical items that can be recorded.

"I graduated when Severus was in his fourth year, and in the same year, my father died, and I inherited the Malfoy family and joined the Death Eaters."

Harry's body trembled, not because of fear, but because he wanted to jump up from the sofa for a moment, but reason prevented him from doing so, and continued to sit there.He looked at Quirrell, who sat quietly drinking his coffee.

"The Death Eaters 20 years ago? Voldemort?" Quirrell once said that now he inherits his "father's" mess, so although the current Death Eaters are still Death Eaters but the content is different, Harry can barely accept.But the Death Eaters 20 years ago were the murderers who killed his parents. Harry understood why Lucius had a serious face when he came.

"Yes."

"It's very dangerous for you to say this kind of fact, but you still said it. And I guess why you said it." After thinking for 2 minutes, Harry said with a wry smile, "So I am willing to believe you, continue to listen now, and will keep the secret according to the oath in the future."

"Harry Potter, it seems that you really should be sorted into Slytherin." Lucius finally showed a smile on his face, but only for a moment, the smile disappeared, and his expression regained his dignity, " I don't know much about what happened to him from the fourth grade onwards because I was busy with the family and that. But when he graduated, I introduced him to join the Death Eaters."

Harry bit his lip tightly. Even if he said before, he had already guessed the development of the matter, but there was still something that he couldn't introduce.

"So, the next memory I want to give you is that he is a Death Eater. Do you want to read it, Harry? Or just give up?"

Giving up is not just giving up watching the next memory, but also giving up the pursuit of the Snake King, a simple pun, Harry heard it clearly.The poor boy's forehead began to sweat, and his two clasped hands rubbed back and forth: "Mr. Malfoy, I want to ask, is Dean Snape... related to the death of my parents? Not that kind An indirect connection because he's a Death Eater, but a direct one."

"Have."

Lucius' straightforward answer made Harry's face turn pale instantly. He opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end, but his eye circles were red, and the two adult wizards sitting opposite him could clearly understand He could see tears welling in his eye sockets.Lowering his head and rubbing his eyes, Harry took two deep breaths and raised his head again: "I want to see, Mr. Malfoy."

"As you wish." The silver memory was put back into the Pensieve...

"The wedding invitation of the Potter family is also from the former Lily Evans and the current Lily Potter. Don't you go? It's going to be late." Lucius, who was in his early twenties, and Lucius, who was not yet 20, Nepe, sitting in a small living room unfamiliar to Harry, with an empty wine bottle and a freshly opened bottle on the coffee table between the two of them, "I thought you never drank, Severus, Looks like it's just the wrong time."

Harry thought the King Snake would "repay" his friend with venom, but instead of saying a word, he just drank the wine in his glass and added another glass for himself.

Lucius shrugged, stopped talking, and drank his share honestly - Potter noticed that, in fact, this young Mr. Malfoy should have something to worry about, because although his tone and actions were very frivolous , but maybe in front of his friends, so he didn't hide his frown.

In short, the next thing was that the two men were drinking non-stop. Harry didn't know why Lucius wanted to show him drinking, but looking at Snape who was drinking away his sorrows, his restless heart had slowly subsided. settled down.He knew that Professor Snape loved his mother and hated his father. Although he didn't know why he loved him, he knew that the other party's hatred was not without reason.Having been bullied for seven years and deprived of a lover, Harry felt that if it was him, he would hate it too.Moreover, Harry felt that "his" dean would not be someone who intentionally hurt his mother out of love...

Just as Harry was staring at Snape's face in a daze, the clock in the living room rang three times, and it was already three o'clock in the morning the next day.And Lucius was already drunk, and Snape stared at the wine in the glass in a daze for a long time.

Suddenly, Snape stood up, and after walking around twice, the apparation disappeared.Before Harry could realize what had happened, Lucius, who was sleeping on the sofa, opened his eyes and sat up. He thought for a while, and disapparated as well.

Harry followed Lucius to a strange place. When he finally found Snape in the shadow of a beech tree, Lucius stopped. As a good friend, he also found a shadow to hide, and just stayed with Snape in a daze like that.

It was getting brighter, Snape finally moved, and Lucius disapparated back to the small and simple living room one step ahead of him.

Two seconds after he sat back on the couch, Snape appeared.

"Godric's Hollow is the territory of Dumbledore and Gryffindor, are you going to die?"

"Not many people know that I serve the master."

"You can't see her even if you go, now she should be honeymooning somewhere in France with the potters. Forget about her, Severus." Patting his friend on the shoulder, Lucius Apparated.

The scene changed, and what appeared in front of Harry was not Malfoy Manor, but a strange and eerie castle—like Hogwarts at night.

Lucius walked along the dark passage wearing a long cloak with a few documents between his hands. Even though the platinum nobleman was originally pale, it was obviously abnormal that even his lips turned blue-gray at this moment.

"Lucius?" Snape came in from the other side of the passage, "How long was Cruciatus?"

"5 minutes."

"It seems that he is in a bad mood today."

"Yes, so I advise you to go home first. Whether the mission fails or the mission is completed, we will wait until tomorrow."

"No, no." Snape was rarely excited, even excited, "I'm sure if I told him what I heard, he would immediately feel better."

"What did you hear?"

"A prophecy! A true prophecy!"

"I was interviewing for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor today, but in the Hog's Head, there was another person interviewing like me! It was Sybill Trelawney, descended from prophets, and she did make a prophecy !"

"Only you there?"

"No, Dumbledore was there, I overheard it."

"Severus, what important prophecy do you think Dumbledore will allow you to overhear?"

"So I was discovered and only half heard."

"Discovered by Dumbledore? And you came back alive?"

"No, it was the waiter at the Pig's Head who found me, not Dumbledore."

"Severus...you think a waiter at the Hog's Head can spot you, but Dumbledore can't?"

"You think it's a trap?" Snape calmed down.

Lucius looked around, led Snape into the corner room, and cast a spell on the room with multiple layers of protection: "What is that prophecy?"

"The person who has the ability to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching. He was born in a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times. He was born at the end of the seventh month." Snape didn't think that his friends were competing for his credit, he was very He said it happily.

Harry felt his heart beating faster, because his birthday was on July 31st, and the end of July can't end!

"That's it? It feels more like Dumbledore can't hold it anymore and is trying to divert our attention. But at the end of the seventh month, are they going to use a baby as a shield? I don't know which unlucky Order of the Phoenix The family will have a baby in July. Go tell him and find him something to do so he won't be so cranky."

"You don't think it's a trap anymore."

"No, I think this is indeed a trap, but if you don't say it, someone else will 'happen' to overhear it later. Rather than being taken away by others, it's better for you to take the credit. As for the poor child... ...Dumbledore would not let the child come to die directly, but wanted us to attack the ambush he had set up."

The two walked out of the room and parted, and the scene changed again.

"Merlin! Lucius, it's Lily! Lily's child! Why is this happening?"

"Isn't there still the Longbottom family?"

"Then do you think he'll let one of them go?"

"No, he will kill both." Lucius smiled wryly, and Snape sat across from him with his head in his hands in pain.

"Severus, don't be so nervous. Remember what we discussed at the beginning? Dumbledore will not let the child die. Whether the prophecy is true or not, he will protect the child."

"Yes, Dumbledore will protect that child..." Snape raised his head thoughtfully, and Lucius knew that he had indeed reminded his friend, although his awakening was dangerous.

"Take care of yourself, Severus." Lucius took the staff and cloak, and left voluntarily.

This was the shortest memory, but the hidden meaning in it made Harry wonder whether he was happy or sad—is his dean a double agent?Then the price he helped the Order of the Phoenix at that time was probably to protect their family, right?But why did mom and dad die in the end?By the way, the godfather once told him that it was Pediru's betrayal.But Voldemort was the only one who attacked their house at that time, right?Why didn't other wizards come to help?
