[HP] Shh, it's a secret

Snape took Harry.Dumbledore was feeding fish bones to his phoenix when Potter knocked on the headmaster's office door.Seeing them coming in, he immediately put down the bag of fish bones and walked towards them.

"Severus, Harry, what happened?" Dumbledore asked.

"He knows, he knows sir." Harry said painfully, covering his forehead and nose.

"Him?" Dumbledore looked up at Snape, who shook his head puzzled.

"It's him, it's Voldemort, sir! ... Oh, thank you Fox, I'm better." Harry raised his hand and rubbed his fingers against the phoenix that was sitting on his shoulder. The bird had just dropped a few drops on his scar. Tears, which made the burning sensation that seemed to tear his head apart a lot, and even the bridge of the nose that was broken by Malfoy seemed to grow back again.

Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged, but his clasped hands tightened a bit.

"Harry, I told you you had to learn to control your brain," he said finally.

"I'm afraid you're going to disappoint Dumbledore, he'll never learn." Snape sneered.

"No, I'm in control! Today...today was an accident, because Malfoy's Legilimency..." Harry gave Snape a hard look and then looked at Dumbledore, "This is not the point, Mr. I Said he knew, Voldemort knew we were looking for... looking for those things."

Harry didn't say that crucial word because he suddenly realized that there was another Severus in the office.snape.Although the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed indifferent to what they were saying, Harry was keen to see that his appearance was nothing more than a faux pas.He hoped that Dumbledore would get Snape out, but he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Yes, he knows. Then I think we must hurry up," said Dumbledore. "Well Harry, perhaps you would like me and Severus to be alone for a while."

Harry gaped.After eye contact with Dumbledore for a while—

"Yes, sir. If you insist."

After Harry left, Snape sat down in the chair opposite Dumbledore.

"You've let your baby boy down, Dumbledore."

"Yes," admitted Dumbledore generously, "but I'm sure he'll recover soon."

"An astonishing recovery ability like a beast, huh? Just like his father." Snape sneered, and suddenly, he restrained his expression, "What are you and Potter looking for, Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore glanced at him: "That's not what you should know."

"you do not trust me?"

"It's not about trust, Severus," said Dumbledore. "I think I've explained to you that this is a matter for Harry.  … Well, Severus, spare Harry." , now let's talk about Draco Malfoy."

Snape fell silent.

"Harry said the boy used Legilimency on him." Dumbledore rested his elbows on the table and put ten fingers together under his chin. (When he starts thinking, you can always see him doing it.)

"I hear you," Snape said.

"What do you think?" Dumbledore asked immediately.

"I think he's done a stupid thing - using forbidden magic on 'your' baby boy right under 'your' nose," Snape said dryly, "but it's also very well done, and in his I don't know how to 'Legilitivize' at this age, at least I never imagined it would be successful."

Dumbledore opened his mouth and closed it again.There was a long silence——

"Severus, Harry kept saying you were biased... Now I think he was telling the truth," said Dumbledore, "but as you said, it didn't occur to me... I never thought That boy would have been gifted with magic like that."

"Are you scared?" Snape raised one eyebrow, "Because he's still at Hogwarts to kill you."

"No no no, you are the one who wants to kill me, I hope you haven't forgotten our agreement Severus."

"Forget? No, how is that possible?" Snape sneered. "So when do you want to start? Need to give you some time to write a suicide note?"

"Please don't change the subject of Severus, we are talking about Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore sighed, "I said I was surprised by his magical talent, yes, very surprised, even shocked ...So Severus, do you think Voldemort would have seen what he did today..."

Snape's expression changed.

"In fact I think he already knows," continued Dumbledore, "when the 'Link' kicked in, he could easily see through Harry's eyes Draco who was casting magic on 'him'. "

Snape's face instantly turned into an ugly blue-black, he turned around, and walked towards the door with great strides.In a blink of an eye, the door slammed shut behind him with a loud bang.Behind the desk, Dumbledore took off his glasses.

Voldemort could only be delighted that his new servant had mastered a higher level of magic, what really worried him was that the boy had peeped into Harry's mind the darkest secrets of his master, who also happened to be Knowing this through Harry.

……

He saw him, he was seen by him.

Draco crouched between the two statues in the dark walkway, clutching his flaming arm.

He didn't understand why he could see the Dark Lord directly, or be seen by the Dark Lord, just by using Legilimency on Potter.

The Dark Lord in Potter's head?

Such speculation made Draco's eyes widen in horror, momentarily forgetting the burning pain in his arm.

No, how is it possible.He shook his head vigorously, burying his face in his knees again.

And... Horcruxes.

He'd never heard of...any spellbook he could think of, any wizard...

what will it be

Suddenly, Draco thought of the rusty crown he had hidden in the Room of Requirement.Horcrux?

No no no, he needs to clear his mind.

The burning sensation became more and more intense, as if his soul had been burned directly.Draco had to cover his mouth with all his strength so that he wouldn't jjj immediately.He only lasted a few seconds before slipping through the middle of the statue and rolling to the floor.What made him feel relieved was that it was still class time and no one would see how stupid he was now.But the end of get out of class is very close.Draco yanked his wand out with difficulty, marking out an enclosed area.On his left arm, the mark seemed to come alive, the snake in the middle showed its fangs, and sent it into his arm, between the flesh and blood.

It doesn't feel like a mere punishment anymore, it's more like a calling.

Summoning - Only Death Eaters are allowed to Apparate directly to where the Dark Lord is. Within the specified time limit, it will be considered a betrayal if the deadline is exceeded.If he didn't make it on time...he'd kill him, and he'd kill his parents.

Draco broke his left arm.

It seemed silly to do this, but it worked, the pain was temporarily confined to the broken arm and wrist.Draco reached out to wipe the cold sweat off his brow and cheeks, helped the statue to his feet from the floor, and then stumbled towards the office of the Head of Slytherin House.

He had actually heard Snape say "lockdown" to him.

He could have ignored it like any other time before, but this time he had to.Of course, not to the solitary confinement, but to the fireplace.When everyone who should know knows that the Vanishing Cabinet hasn't been repaired, it's a dead end to use it, so it's the fireplace.

Draco stopped in front of the black oak door of Snape's office.

He told him to "go to his office and wait", so the door should be just a decoration to him.Draco took a breath and put his hand on the doorknob—

The door opened easily.

Draco deftly found the fireplace hidden behind the storage cupboard, and sprinkled a handful of Floo powder into it.In his memory, this fireplace leads one way to—

"Diagon Alley."
