[HP] Illusion

Nothing is perfect in the world.

A little carelessness may lead to the worst result. He has already eaten such a bitter fruit. Although he was lucky to survive in the final battle, he lost many people.He also lost his godfather because of Voldemort's design, because he was powerless to watch his friends and even Dumbledore leave.

"During your student days, you never thought about it so much." Harry paused for a moment when he was suddenly wrapped around his waist, and took advantage of the opportunity to get closer to the broad arms of the person behind him.

It seemed that only in this way could he completely relax. Merlin knew that his spirit had been tense these days, and he couldn't even control himself.

"But you also know what happened to me after the Great War." Harry buried his head in Snape's chest, as if this way, he didn't have to face it all again.

If Helena hadn't given him the hourglass and the key, he really didn't know what would have happened to him, maybe one day he would have come to the end of his life, maybe he would have stayed at Hogwarts until his hair was gray, living in such a predicament.

In fact, to this day, he still doesn't seem to have gotten out of this predicament.

— as long as Voldemort is alive.

"It's not your fault," Snape said softly, "You were young and didn't have enough ability, now we have enough intelligence, you should be very clear that we have much more than Voldemort, he is only temporary To get some small-scale victories, as long as we start to act, he has no advantage." Harry should know these things, and his current emotional distress is due to his psychological reasons.

"You have to tell yourself that we will win and survive to the end." Snape kissed Harry's hair softly.

But that wasn't the case. Voldemort's power suddenly increased. This alone made it very likely that Malfoy would betray him again because of the tilt of the situation.

Every point may become the key to their failure.

"So didn't we tell Malfoy the key truth?" Snape had also taken some measures to prevent Malfoy from fooling around, but since this person made Harry worry, it was necessary for him to meet this man. people.

"But you were exposed," Harry said in a low voice. "If Malfoy intends to betray, then what will you do?" Once Snape's identity as a spy is exposed, there is of course only one fate for him.

"Did you forget?" Snape's hand stroked Harry's gracefully curved back, "We live and die together, so I won't let myself die."

"I seem to be too pessimistic." Harry took a deep breath.

Not wanting to die doesn't mean being afraid of death.From the moment he knew he had to face death, he was never afraid of death.

But the him now is far from the him at that time.

In such a desperate situation, he kept thinking about how to defeat Voldemort, but now that they have so many resources in their hands, and even Dumbledore is still alive, he is worried that he will fail. This is obviously a very serious problem. question.

"I'm glad you finally realized that." Snape dragged Harry's ass, letting him sit astride his lap.

Harry pressed Snape's forehead, "Aren't you worried at all? That's not what you're thinking to tell me."

"Now we can only win," Snape said firmly, not to mention, "Dumbledore has already begun to investigate Voldemort's sudden power. If it is really Grindelwald, it seems that Grindelwald is defending Dumbledore. , the situation may not be unfavorable to us." Maybe Grindelwald was suddenly stimulated by something, and joining forces with Voldemort could force Dumbledore to face it.

"Is it possible?" Harry took off his glasses, he was still not used to the feeling that the world was clear without glasses.

"There's always a glimmer of hope."

Snape is much busier these days than he planned. Fortunately, he has already researched the potion to deal with Nagini. Other things are not as important as this task, such as dealing with Voldemort requests, such as talking to Malfoy, or that he plans to go to Germany on the weekend.

Dumbledore investigated the mysterious power from Germany from the Death Eaters. He went directly to Nurmengard to know whose jurisdiction this power belongs to.

But before that, the meeting with Malfoy was also on the agenda. This afternoon, Snape had no class, and Malfoy happened to be free, so the two made an appointment to meet

The fact that Malfoy dared to attend the appointment reassured Snape, but Snape was still vigilant.

Unlike last time, they changed to a safer meeting place, and Dumbledore and Harry were missing.And this time, Malfoy didn't dare touch anything Snape had prepared.

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, and he refused to comment on Malfoy's behavior.

The environment here is better than last time. It looks like a private residence, with a living room and a sofa, and the doors of all the rooms are closed.

"I know what you want me to do." Malfoy raised his chin, his voice extremely arrogant.

"But you don't know what chips I have in my hand."

"What?" Malfoy didn't expect Snape to do this all of a sudden.

"I just don't want to talk nonsense," Snape leisurely drank the herbal tea on the table, "your most precious one is in my hands."

Malfoy's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

"It's just a means to prevent you from rebelling. You should be familiar with it. Grabbing people's dead spots and threatening them to listen to you. Isn't this a trick you often use?" As long as it can threaten Malfoy, Snape doesn't care Use some special means, although these are the ones that the white wizards disdain to use.

The plot took a turn for the worse, and Malfoy was completely dumbfounded this time, all the restraint and pride he had just now were shattered.

"Severus, I never thought of betraying." Because the plot didn't go as he expected, he could only be led by the nose by Snape, and he was particularly aggrieved.

"I still say the same thing, our side will win, as long as you believe me." Snape obviously didn't believe Malfoy's words. If they are big, then this person will point him out mercilessly.This was the biggest reason why Snape struck first.

"I..." For a second, Malfoy hesitated.

"Your baby, Draco," Snape reminded maliciously.

"You wouldn't do that, Severus, he's still your student."

"He's my favorite student," Snape admitted, "I've watched him grow up, but if you're going to give Voldemort information from our side at this time, well, you won't watch it during the summer vacation." to him."

"It's impossible, you wouldn't do that, Dumbledore wouldn't let you do it, and I..."

"Of course you won't, but you can't stop it," Snape said calmly, "This is a threat, Lucius, you heard me right, for your son's safety, you can only stand by our side, I promise , once our side wins the victory, then your family will not have any problems, and I can even ask Dumbledore to make your family a higher level."

Such a simple and rude threat is really not like Snape, but Snape's calm and almost distorted expression made him believe that he would really do this, and he had such strength that he could do it when he did. The moment a wrong choice is made, the previous agreement between them can be destroyed immediately.

This kind of Snape was strong and dangerous. Back then, he knew that this person was excellent, but until now, he seemed to really know him.

"Actually, you and the Dark Lord are on the same path."

"Are you trying to convince me to defect?" Snape looked at Malfoy expressionlessly.

Malfoy was startled, and immediately denied: "I didn't say that."

"You are wrong. Voldemort and I have never been on the same side. He did it for himself. He is unscrupulous. He is cruel. I only threaten you, but I also stated my conditions. As long as you are completely If you stand on our side completely, your family will not have any problems. As I said, this is just to prevent it from happening."

"Then who are you doing this for?"

"I don't need to answer your question." Snape raised his hands, "Perhaps we really should make an unbreakable spell so that you can't take advantage of any loopholes."

Perhaps from birth to now, Malfoy has never felt such humiliation except for the one he succumbed to. Perhaps he can think of other ways to deal with him, but...is it really worth it?

What was Snape's motive for doing this, was he guilty of worrying that Dumbledore would lose, or was it the other way around...he had some kind of bargaining chip in his hand-in fact, he had already speculated on this point, if it was really some kind that could The Dark Lord's one-hit kill chip, so as long as he does not rebel, Dumbledore's side may even have a greater chance of winning.

In fact, if Snape hadn't taken the initiative to find him, the Death Eaters would have no idea what Dumbledore and Snape were plotting.They didn't reveal any clues at all, and even if he went to investigate now, he could only find out that Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic were fighting back, but they were almost powerless to fight back.

And even if the Dark Lord doubles his troops, according to all the information he has now, Dumbledore and Snape don't plan to deal with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals at all. From the very beginning, their goal is Voldemort.

"I've prepared the medicine that can make Nagini die silently." Snape gave another knowing blow.

But Malfoy sounds like, since I can poison Nagini, I can also poison your son without leaving a trace, Merlin, where is the basic trust between people and people? !Tired and no longer in love, okay?

"If you can guarantee that you will not do anything to Draco." Malfoy suddenly stretched out his hand, "The two-way unbreakable curse, you guarantee the safety of Draco, you guarantee the safety of our family, you guarantee the safety of what you said If all the words come true, then it is absolutely impossible for me to betray you."

"make a deal."
