Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 961
The principal’s office disappeared, and Professor McGonagall felt as if she had flown through many changing shapes and colors.
Only then did he finally fall back to the ground.
Then Kyle came, and he was also curious about what memories Dumbledore left behind to clear Snape’s name.
If Snape were here, he would definitely not be allowed to see this memory – it could almost be said to be a dark history.
It’s a pity that he is not in the principal’s office at the moment, which is one of the reasons why Kyle is willing to help.
I don’t know if it was Dumbledore’s intention, but they appeared directly opposite Snape.
He was standing on the top of a desolate, cold mountain, holding the wand tightly in his hand, as if waiting for something. Professor McGonagall stood opposite him without saying a word, with a serious expression.
If this wasn’t a memory, she would probably have punched Snape directly.
“Kyle, what on earth do you want me to see————·

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed across the sky, like lightning, but Snape fell to his knees with a plop, his wand falling beside him.
“Don’t kill me!”
“That was not my intention!”
Kyle subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, and it took him a moment to realize that he was now in Dumbledore’s memory, and there was no deformed lizard skin bag on him at all.
In fact, he didn’t want to do anything.
Kyle pretended that nothing happened and withdrew his hand again – but there was no need to go to such trouble. Professor McGonagall, the only one who could see him, was paying attention to Deng who had just phantomed over. On Bledo.
He stood in front of Snape, his robes fluttering in the wind, and the light of the wand shining on his face from below, which was full of oppression.
“What, Severus–what message does Voldemort have for you to bring to me?”
“No, no message – I came for myself – for the prophecy – Trelawney…”
Snape seemed very nervous, and his speech was choppy and slurred. It may be that Dumbledore put too much pressure on him.
After all, Dumbledore seemed to really want to kill him at this time, and the light on his wand never dimmed.
Professor McGonagall was muttering something next to him. Kyle couldn’t hear the specific content, but he guessed that he was urging Dumbledore to quickly deal with the traitor.
However, as the conversation between the two continued, Professor McGonagall’s expression gradually changed slightly.
“He thinks–the person in the prophecy is Lily Evans!”
“Please hide them and keep them safe, please -“
“In return – I’ll do anything.”
The wind on the top of the mountain became stronger, even covering up the voices of Snape and Dumbledore talking. Even if Kyle got closer, he could only hear the whistling wind.
By this point Kyle already knew that Dumbledore must have done something to the memory and covered up the rest of the words.
Professor McGonagall frowned at the side. She seemed to have guessed something, but she was not sure.
At this time, the top of the mountain disappeared and they were back in the headmaster’s office at Hogwarts.
Snape sat slumped in the chair, like a wounded beast, sobbing in pain –
“I thought–you would guarantee her safety—“
“She and James mistakenly trusted others!” Dumbledore’s expression was equally ugly.
“But her son survived—I hope you can help me protect him—
“He doesn’t need protection, the Dark Lord is dead –
“”-The Dark Lord is not dead, he will make a comeback one day! “
The picture darkened for a moment, but soon became brighter again.
It’s still the principal’s office, but it seems like many years have passed in between.
“He’s back, he’s really back, I can feel it——” Snape said excitedly, rolling up his sleeves and showing Dumbledore the vivid Dark Mark on his arm.
“He took Harry, and while everyone was watching the third game—”
The screen disappeared again.
“That arrogant, arrogant fool, why can’t he have a long memory? Can’t he see that the Dark Lord deliberately lured him to the Department of Mysteries?”
“He is as mediocre and arrogant as his father, and he is also stubborn and unable to recognize form. Does he think he is you? He can go against the Ministry of Magic – at this point, he is not even as good as that troublemaker Disgusting Kyle.”
Kyle raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that Dumbledore still had his own role in Dumbledore’s memory – but being annoying had several meanings. He felt that he was quite popular.
The colors continued to rotate, and this time the scene changed from the principal’s office to another place – a desolate path covered with gravel.
Dumbledore seemed to be injured, walking hobbling on the road, and the outline of a footprint could be faintly seen on his robe.
“You saved me, Severus, but I don’t think you needed to use so much force.”
‘I didn’t have time to think too much at that time. “Snape said. He seemed to be in a good mood and walked lightly. “If I had known that you had signed a magical contract with Kyle, I would not have bothered to help you. “
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that Kyle actually saved my life in order to bind himself to the magic contract——but I still want to thank you, you made me regain my sober expression.”
“That ring… leave it to me for safekeeping.”
‘I must refuse, Severus, this is also for your own good. After all, when you can’t bear the temptation, there is no protection of the magic contract. ”
“You don’t trust me ——”
“This has nothing to do with trust, because I know how tempting it is—
The path was gradually shrouded in a thick fog, and it was another scene after passing through it.
“That Kyle, he was too careless, and that stupid big dog, didn’t they think about how important the things they took away were?

Snape said angrily, “The Dark Lord asked me to deal with this matter. I erased the goblin’s memory, but I don’t know if this can be hidden from him.”
“It should be possible.” Dumbledore sat opposite him, “Tom is concerned about another thing recently.
“But Severus, I didn’t expect you to take the initiative to help Kyle.”
“I just don’t want his negligence to cause the original plan to fail.” Snape said, “Have we found all the Horcruxes?”
“If the number is correct, I think it should be almost there.” Dumbledore said thoughtfully, “In addition to what we discussed before, you should pay more attention to Tom’s side.”
“I guess he will probably keep the last Horcrux by his side for protection.”
“What is it-…”
“I don’t know.” Dumbledore shook his head, “There was a guess, but someone took her away from Tom.
“But according to my understanding of Tom, he should choose another magical animal of the snake type, maybe a horned water snake or a runes snake.”
After the picture disappeared this time, Professor McGonagall slowly rose from the Pensieve. A moment later, she was on the floor of the headmaster’s office, with an indescribably complicated expression.
She never thought that Snape was actually one of Voldemort’s own undercovers. Before that, she had never doubted Snape’s position and firmly believed that he was a Death Eater.
It can only be said that Snape’s disguise was too good, but it was also because of this that he had not been discovered by Voldemort.
Professor McGonagall tried to convince herself in her heart, but she became more and more irritated.
Merlin’s beard—-How could Snape be one of his own? Could it be that his standard Death Eater style was all acted out?
She even suspected that this bottle of memory might be fake.
“You knew about this a long time ago, right?” She looked up at Kyle.
“I guess so.” Kyle said, “Professor Dumbledore once gave me a hint, but I didn’t realize what he wanted to say until recently.”
In this situation, no matter what happened, it was right to push it directly to Dumbledore. Anyway, no matter what was said, he would not jump out to refute it.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and did not doubt Kyle’s statement.
Dumbledore’s hints—sometimes she really couldn’t understand them, and without being told, she wouldn’t have realized that Snape was an undercover agent.
“What about this bottle of memory?” She thought for a moment and continued, “You seem to know its location very well.
Who told you, Severus?”
“No, it was also Professor Dumbledore.” Kyle said calmly, “Fawkes told me this after the war.”
“Is that so?” Professor McGonagall still had no doubts.
Fawkes was very close to Kyle, and this was no secret among the professors at Hogwarts. With the wisdom of the phoenix, it was not difficult to do this.
But Professor McGonagall couldn’t figure out why Dumbledore couldn’t tell her directly?
After some thought, Professor McGonagall, who hadn’t figured out the answer, turned and looked at the portrait of Dumbledore on the wall.
But Dumbledore in the portrait was just like other headmasters, pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and even when he was stared at by Professor McGonagall, his eyelids would twitch from time to time.
It’s probably impossible to get an answer from him, Professor McGonagall sighed.
In theory, with this memory as proof, Snape can completely get rid of his identity as a Death Eater.
Not only can all the wanted notices be revoked, but even if he wants to continue to stay in Hogwarts as a professor, it’s fine.
The wizarding world needs heroes now, and she thinks Amelia should be happy to publish Snape’s deeds in the newspaper to divert people’s attention—–so that they don’t keep harping on the previous mistakes of the Ministry of Magic.
However, all of this requires a premise.
Snape needs to tell everyone where Voldemort, who was rescued by him before, is, and he needs to explain clearly why he did this.
If he can’t give a reasonable explanation, this memory will not be so useful.
And the most important thing is—where is Snape now? Whether it’s an explanation or a restoration of identity, Snape must be found. Without strict and careful interrogation, it’s impossible to convince everyone of his identity with just a memory.
But now all the Aurors and strikers are looking for him, almost turning Britain upside down.
Including the 17 strongholds obtained from other Death Eaters, as well as the Death Eaters’ headquarters Malfoy Manor, the Aurors went to all of them, but found nothing.
It was as if Snape had disappeared with Voldemort.
Why did he do this?
After knowing the truth, Professor McGonagall was even more confused. If it was just a simple disguise, was it necessary to go to this extent?
The Death Eaters were almost wiped out, and Voldemort was about to be captured. At this time, he ran out to save him—? Isn’t it a bit too dedicated?
This is why Professor McGonagall has always remained skeptical.
But these are not the most important things. Again, they have to find Snape first. As long as they find him, I believe everything will come to light.
“Professor, Professor——” Kyle’s voice brought Professor McGonagall back to her senses.
“What’s wrong?”
“Professor, are you wondering where you want to go, Severus Snape?”
“Why, do you know where Severus is?” Professor McGonagall looked at him doubtfully.
“It’s a coincidence.” Kyle lowered his voice, “When I came back, I happened to see him in the field outside the school.”
“What did you say?” Professor McGonagall looked over suddenly, but soon showed a hint of doubt.
Such a coincidence?
So many Auror strikers were almost all scattered, but none of them found Snape. Did Kyle really find Snape when he saw him?
And it’s still at Hogwarts!
If she remembered correctly, there were at least five Aurors and thirty beaters surrounding Hogsmeade and the school, surrounding the entire school tightly.
Kyle was able to come back without alerting anyone because he had the help of the Phoenix, and Hogwarts’ own restrictions on phantom movement did not apply to him.
But how could Snape be able to bypass the patrols of Aurors and Strikers, as well as the detection of the Looking Glass and run back.
If he wanted to do this, there was only one possibility, and that was that he had never left Hogwarts.
If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that Voldemort, who was rescued by him, never left–“·
“Oh, damn————”
Professor McGonagall subconsciously pulled out her wand.
Kyle was startled and asked quickly: “Professor, what are you doing?”
“Let me ask you,” Professor McGonagall said seriously, “When you saw Severus, what was he doing, and were there any other people or animals with him or around him?”
Kyle quickly understood what Professor McGonagall meant. “No.” He shook his head and said, “When I saw Snape, he was the only one around, and he came to find you.”
“Looking for me?”
“That’s right.” Kyle pointed to the pensieve on the table, “I guess he’s here to explain this.”
“But I thought he was not suitable to appear in the principal’s office before reading the memories, so I persuaded him to wait elsewhere.”
“Okay–I have to say, your decision is right.” Professor McGonagall glanced at Kyle in approval.
That means Snape didn’t come, otherwise, she probably wouldn’t want to see any memories first.
Professor McGonagall rubbed her fingers on the pensieve, “Kyle, could you please bring him here-…
No, forget it, I’ll go find him. “
She remembered that there were others in the castle, and if Snape was discovered on the way here, a battle might begin in an instant.
After all, the contents of the memory have not yet been made public, and Snape is still a serious Death Eater in other people’s minds.
Walking into Hogwarts like this is no different from seeking death.
“Where is Severus?” Professor McGonagall stood up.
“In the campus hospital, I suggested that he go find Kangna first, and he agreed.” Kyle said, opening the oak door next to him and walking out.
“Miss Prince——·——.”
Professor McGonagall paused in her tracks.
Kyle waited at the door for a while but didn’t hear any movement, so he could only poke his head in again.
“Professor McGonagall, aren’t you going to find him?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Professor McGonagall nodded and walked out of the principal’s office.
The two then walked through the castle and met Slughorn walking in from the outside.
After Professor McGonagall said a few words to him, he changed direction with Kyle and walked towards the other side.
“Poppy is treating several wizards who have been affected by black magic. They need to be in a wider and ventilated place.
Miss Prince was also there to help. “
The place Professor McGonagall was talking about was near the Quidditch pitch. After arriving here, she quickly saw Connor and the middle-aged wizard pretending to be Snape next to her.
Because she knew the middle-aged wizard, and he should have left school ten minutes ago.
Transfiguration? Or Polyjuice Potion——
Professor McGonagall stood there thinking.
“Aren’t we going there?” Kyle asked softly.
“Now that we have found it, there is no need to be so anxious.” Professor McGonagall shook her head and said, “If any of us should be the first to know the truth, that person must be Miss Prince.”
“Severus may be busy for a while. Before that, we need to give him a little more time so that he can explain everything to Miss Prince.”
She turned around and looked at her surroundings.
“It just so happens that we also need to carefully check the situation inside the school.
“Kyle, could you please go find Sir Porpington and the Fat Friar? I hope they can lead other ghosts to check the castle including the surrounding area.
“Also, go find the Aurors in charge of security and ask them to relax their security around Hogsmeade and check the situation in the Forbidden Forest.”
“Okay.” Kyle knew that Professor McGonagall was worried that Voldemort was here.
Although he knew it was impossible, it was hard to say…
Did he and the dark wizard Rosier from 70 years ago jointly kill Voldemort? Or did Grindelwald leave Nurmengard and continue his grudges with Dumbledore after 70 years?
The characters involved are too complicated. Even if you see it with your own eyes, you may not believe it, let alone hear it.
If he waits for him to explain it clearly, the Aurors and strikers will probably have finished checking the Forbidden Forest.
So forget it, or wait for Snape to explain, anyway, he has nothing else to do in the next few days.
“Professor, anything else?” Kyle asked again.
“These are enough.” Professor McGonagall said softly, “It just so happens that I have to think about how to tell Amelia about this matter later.”
“The last Death Eater turned out to be one of us. This is simply unbelievable.”
