The third Dark Lord came from Hogwarts

Snape’s pupils shrank.

In the past, he was only immersed in the sorrow of Lily’s tragic death caused by the informant, but never considered this aspect.

Now, after Argus reminded him, he immediately reacted.

Yes, if there is any possibility of such a major prophecy, it must not be spread.

If it were me, I would definitely block the entire bar after noticing something unusual.

Supervise everyone who heard the content!

With Dumbledore’s strength, he can definitely do this!

But he just let Aberforth come forward and drive him away.

Not even a warning!

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like… something that a meticulous person like Dumbledore would do!

Snape climbed out of the abyss of the Death Eaters, had seen too much ugliness, and was used to looking at people with evil.

There were indeed many strange things about the things that happened back then, but because it was too long ago, Snape was immersed in grief and self-blame and had no time to care.

After Argus’s reminder, everything seemed so weird.

“Professor, I have a question for you.” Argus did not choose to pursue the matter relentlessly.

The previous words were effective enough.

Continuing to talk would only make Snape feel that he was trying every means to discredit Dumbledore.

Instead, it would be counterproductive.

Snape woke up from his own world.

He glanced at Argus.

“Speak!”

“Why did Voldemort choose Harry back then, instead of… Neville Longbottom, who also fits the prophecy?”

“It’s not that he didn’t go, it’s that he didn’t get in.”

Snape said unhappily.

“At the beginning, we couldn’t find the location of Harry’s family at all. In addition to searching for Harry’s family, we had to attack the Longbottom family.”

“The main force of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​there.”

“Later, someone realized that Harry’s family might have been hidden with the Fidelius Charm.”

“At that time, it was believed that the secret keeper was either Dumbledore or Sirius.”

“I didn’t expect…”

“I understand.” After listening to Snape’s explanation, Argus finally connected the events of that year completely.

Combined with the subsequent plot of the original book, he probably guessed why Dumbledore allowed Snape to pass the message.

The reason is very simple.

Although Dumbledore could defeat Voldemort, it was difficult to find his location.

Dumbledore himself did not want to indulge his desires, did not take over as Minister of Magic, and only relied on his subordinates, the Order of the Phoenix.

As a result, there were very few people who could really fight Voldemort.

Trelawney’s prophecy gave him an excellent bait.

He knew that with Voldemort’s character, once he knew the prophecy, he would definitely kill the person in the prophecy at all costs.

Only when the person in the prophecy died, Voldemort would relax his guard and have a chance to defeat him.

Just like… in the original book, he designed his own death in order to let Voldemort relax his vigilance!

As for the authenticity of the prophecy… is it important?

As long as it is spread, whether it is true or false, Voldemort must get rid of the person in the prophecy.

This is Voldemort’s character flaw, and he had to get rid of it in order to maintain his prestige among the Death Eaters.

It can be said that whether it is true or false, it is more beneficial than harmful to Dumbledore.

The fake one can force Voldemort to reveal his flaws, and the real one is better, just wait for the child of prophecy to grow up slowly.

Lily’s so-called magic of love may also be what Dumbledore asked Lily to teach her secretly in order to protect Harry.

“You already know what you want to know.”

“Now, get out…”

Snape suddenly said to Argus.

Argus was confused, and before he could figure out what happened, he was kicked out of the office by Snape.

Fortunately, he had made it clear what he wanted to say, and the rest depended on Snape’s own excavation.

With Snape’s mind and ability, it won’t take long to draw a conclusion.

Argus had originally thought about whether to expose the fact that Harry was a Horcrux.

But now the timeline is too early, and Harry has not revealed too much connection with Voldemort except for the Parseltongue.

It takes time to prove it.

And if it is revealed so early, who knows if Dumbledore will find a way to help Harry solve it.

These old Dumbledores who have lived for hundreds of years are hiding deeper than each other.

“You finally came out, Argus!”

Argus was about to leave when Lupin appeared from a corner not far away.

Seeing that Argus was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Merlin’s beard, I’m glad you’re okay.”

“Professor Lupin?”

Argus was startled and immediately guessed Lupin’s intention.

Need I say more! I was scared by Snape!

Not to mention the battle between Snape and Argus just now, when Snape knew that it was Lupin who provided protection for Sirius, he really planned to send him to Azkaban!

From Snape’s perspective, you can investigate as you like, but it won’t delayI’ll take you in.

After you go in, I can investigate on my own, too!

“Professor… you seem to be seriously injured.”

“Do you want to go to Madam Pomfrey?”

Agus felt a little sorry for Lupin, who was clearly bruised and swollen, but still insisted on waiting for him at the door, worrying about his safety.

“It’s okay! I’m used to this little injury!”

Lupin wiped the blood from his nose with his hand.

He looked at himself in the window, with some distress on his face.

“But it seems that I can’t go to the hall for dinner.”

“If I go there like this, I’m afraid it will scare a lot of little wizards.”

“Professor Lupin, go back to the office first, I’ll go get some medicine and help you treat your wound.”

Agus took out his wand and used it to clean up Lupin’s clothes.

Then he returned to the dormitory and found some healing potions in the suitcase.

He walked quickly to Lupin’s office.

These potions are really nothing to the wealthy saints.

But for a wizard like Lupin who had just escaped poverty, it was almost a sky-high price!

When he saw the potion in Argus’s bottle, he didn’t dare to take it at all.

He even regretted why he was so stubborn and didn’t go to Madam Pomfrey.

If he went to Madam Pomfrey, at most Madam Pomfrey would scold him a few times. She knew the relationship between him and Snape and could guess it in all likelihood.

But Argus… he was his student!

How could he, as a professor, use his personal potion for nothing!

Lupin wanted to give Argus the gold galleons at the original price, but he touched his pocket.

He looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

“Argus, I’ve been injured a lot in Knockturn Alley before. There’s no need to waste potions on such a minor injury.”

“You should take it back.”

Argus didn’t care and put the potion on the table.

“Professor Lupin, you don’t want other young wizards to know that you were beaten up by Professor Snape, right?”

“The wounds on your face will be visible at a glance in class tomorrow.”

“Even with Madam Pomfrey’s potion, it is impossible to fully recover.”

Lupin looked hesitant.

As a professor, he still wanted to save some face.

At least, save some in front of Harry.

After hesitating for a long time, he took the potion.
