[HP] The Curse of Harry Potter and Slytherin

"... I believe we can always find many interesting topics, for example, the charming little mark on your left arm—and, for what you want to do, maybe I can give you some help."

Dumbledore quickly read the letter Snape had brought - a love letter, to be exact - and looked up at him thoughtfully.

Snape's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and there was still a hint of disbelief.

"How would she know—on my left arm—" He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to hold his left arm tightly, as if it was causing him unbearable pain, "Could it be that she—"

"Death Eaters? I don't think it should be... I investigated Fudge when she was going to visit Hogwarts." Dumbledore shook his head lightly, and put his hands on the table with his fingertips facing each other. "But this matter It is indeed a little surprising—although many people know that the Death Eater has the mark of the Dark Lord on his body, but few can tell the exact location, and the charges against you were quickly withdrawn back then. In my Under the cover, almost no one knows who you once were."

"I don't think so either. She just asked the owl to throw the letter to me. Such a stupid act—"

Snape suddenly thought of a possibility, "So... Could it be that Umbridge got the news from someone in the Ministry of Magic? Maybe it was Fudge—"

"The possibility is not ruled out, this letter—" Dumbledore picked up the pink letter paper, and after seeing Snape's almost murderous eyes, he changed his words with interest, "—well, this letter The letter... the tone of it seems to be very close to you—an alliance-like intimacy, it seems that it is not just because of the affection of graduating from the same college."

"What alliance will I have with her? And—what is it that I want to do, where she can help me?"

"Well... maybe—" said Dumbledore slowly, "you join forces with her to take Hogwarts into her hands? Maybe she thinks you secretly resent me—after all, I never let you have one." A letter of appointment for a course of your choice."

"You mean, she wants to—"

"Whether it's an enemy or a friend, you'll know when you see her. Didn't she ask you to meet at the Three Broomsticks next weekend?" Dumbledore smiled, "It just happens to be Valentine's Day—it's really enviable!"

"Then, Mr. Headmaster, what do you think of this enviable opportunity?" Snape said sarcastically.

"The senior investigator probably wouldn't be happy to see me, a bad old man," Dumbledore continued to smile, "otherwise I really want to go."

Snape looked at the piercing smile on Dumbledore's face, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like four big characters - gloating.

He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked out.

"Severus," Dumbledore continued, "if she asks for any cooperation, you might as well agree to her—such as getting the current Headmaster of Hogwarts out of the school or something."

Snape turned around suspiciously, "Are you going to - leave school? Albus, what are you trying to do?"

"There is a conjecture that needs to be further verified. If you leave school for a long time for no reason, it may attract attention-don't worry, I will always pay attention to Hogwarts, and you can send me a letter at any time. We happened to take advantage of Now look at what Umbridge is trying to do," a light flashed behind Dumbledore's glasses, "For some reason, it seems to me now that she is not just a pawn in Fudge's hands—maybe she has something else Purpose? To get as many words out of her as possible, Severus."

Snape lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Well, I see."

He simply nodded and left in a hurry.

"I always thought you... um..." Cho Zhang smiled a little embarrassedly, "but last week I found out that Ginny was dating Dean Thomas—"

The two of them were sitting in the noisy three broomsticks, and Qiu Xingzhi happily proposed to sit here, but Harry only felt uncomfortable when he came in.

The small square tables are separated by fresh green plants, and many pink ribbons hang down from the ceiling. The seats are connected. Qiu sits beside him, and heart-shaped balloons are tied to both sides of the seat, and the air is full of air. The sweet milky fragrance wafts...

The store is full of wizards, most of them are Hogwarts students, and there are also some nearby villagers, basically a combination of a man and a woman.

All the way out of school, Qiu was like a happy bird with sparkling eyes.She kept saying this and that to Harry, as if she wanted to finish the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and Harry really couldn't find a chance to say the hurtful rejection.

Hearing her mention Ginny at this time, Harry remembered that he hadn't talked to Ginny for a long time.However, they were not in the same grade, and they rarely interacted with each other. He didn't even know that Ginny was dating Dean.

"Oh—that...that should be pretty good, right?" Harry echoed casually, "Dean...is pretty good too."

Cho Chang looked happier, she seemed encouraged.

"Um... Harry," Cho said bravely, "you know what? Last year I've been regretting... not being your dance partner at the opening ceremony of the Triwizard Tournament."

"Oh...no...it's okay, I understand, you've already agreed...Cedric."

"Cedric..." Qiu smiled sadly, "He...he is indeed a very good person."

"Yeah, I think so too," said Harry from the bottom of his heart, "and he's... very brave."

"You too, Harry," Qiu slowly leaned towards his chest with tears in his eyes, "very brave..."

Harry stood up abruptly, and Cho looked at him with wide-eyed surprise.

"I'm sorry... Cho," Harry felt he couldn't put it off any longer, "I—I can't..."

"For...why?"

Cho looked stunned, unable to comprehend what was going on with Harry.Tears gradually welled up in her eyes, but she still insisted on wanting an answer.

"Because... because of me..." The sudden thought in Harry's mind gradually became clear. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Because I already have someone I like."

Cho Chang looked as if he had been slapped, she gave him one last resentful look, and ran out crying.

Harry stood where he was, not chasing her.

A flash of guilt for Cho Chang flashed through his mind, but it was quickly overshadowed by another thought, and Harry's heart beat wildly.

When he came to this store full of Valentine's Day atmosphere, Harry clearly realized how much he missed that black figure, and his heart ached when he thought about it—maybe, he didn't just like Snape anymore... …

Cho Chang was talking to him, but his mind was full of thinking that if he could come with Snape...

Today is Valentine's Day!Why not do something crazy?

Harry felt he couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to see Snape now!

He wanted to confess his love to Snape again, even if he was used as a stand-in, since he lost to his mother anyway, there was no shame in it...

He was suddenly a little glad that he had a pair of eyes exactly like his mother's.

Harry turned around breathlessly, he wanted to go back to school immediately, rushed into Snape's office, hugged him tightly, and said to him—

He turned around and stayed where he was.

Harry stared blankly at the two figures standing up from a small table near the door, feeling the blood in his body freeze up, for a while he just looked at them stupidly, his mind went blank.

He subconsciously wanted to rush over to ask for an explanation, but suddenly he felt very ridiculous.

Standing up, Snape glanced at him indifferently, and turned his head back with a normal expression as if he didn't know Harry.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to wrap Umbridge's shoulder, preventing her from turning around, and stroked the shawl for her.

"Come on, I'll take you back."
