“You?? Severus…”

“You can’t trust me?” Snape looked at Kingsley and asked seriously.

Kingsley card shell.

“Or…Minerva, you can’t trust me?” Snape looked at McGonagall.

“…To be honest, I can’t trust you.” McGonagall nodded, “But Dumbledore believes in you. And I…believe in Dumbledore.”

“What about you?” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai.

“I…can’t believe it.”

Lu Yunkai shook his head seriously.

Snape was stunned.

“You used to be a Death Eater, and you turned to support the Order of the Phoenix because of Harry’s incident, right?” Lu Yunkai looked serious, “Now Harry is not in much danger. Dumbledore is dead, and the Order of the Phoenix is ​​equal to It’s been disbanded. And Voldemort looks so miserable now, God knows if you would do anything out of pity for him… This is very dangerous.”

Quiet.

The atmosphere in the principal’s office was very strange.

What Lu Yunkai said was so righteous that no one could refute it. Lu Yunkai was even convinced that Mag and Kingsley definitely had this worry, but it was just inconvenient for them to say it outright for various reasons.

Lu Yunkai popped the balloon, so Snape had to respond seriously.

If there was no way to explain this matter clearly, of course no one would have the confidence to believe that he would not quietly help Voldemort find a way to resurrect him.

“I think you have made some mistakes.” Snape’s expression was gloomy. “I am against the Dark Lord not because of Harry.”

“Is it because of justice?”

“It’s because of Harry’s mother. Lily.” Snape snorted, “But Lily has died at the hands of the Dark Lord forever, and this matter can never be changed.”

Quiet.

“Well, I’m sorry, professor, I was wrong.” Lu Yunkai admitted his mistake simply.

yes! Harry’s mother was the reason Snape turned against Voldemort, not Harry. Harry is still alive, but Lily is dead. Since he is dead and can never be resurrected, Snape will never forgive Voldemort.

Lu Yunkai was indeed a little worried.

“But, Severus. Guarding Voldemort is a job that will last for who knows how many years…” Kingsley also wanted to persuade Snape.

“I did a lot of things before. Although I don’t think it was wrong, but…well, it did violate the laws of the Ministry of Magic.” Snape looked at Kingsley sincerely, “Dumbledore Lido went to the Ministry of Magic to testify against me and save me from being imprisoned in Azkaban, but I knew full well that I was guilty during my years as a Death Eater and I figured now was my chance to atone. ”

“…Severus, you…” Kingsley’s expression was a little strange.

“I should be the one who died in Nurmengard, not Arthur and Molly.” Snape sighed softly, “This year I have been thinking about why I haven’t died yet. Maybe now I I understand. I still haven’t redeemed my sins, so I can’t die yet.”

Quiet.

“Minerva, I’ll leave the matter of Hogwarts to you.” Snape calmly looked at Professor McGonagall who had a lot to say but didn’t say anything. It’s also Dumbledore’s arrangement, right?”

“Are you sure?” Professor McGonagall looked at Snape and did not persuade him.

“I thought about it all night last night, and this is the best solution I can think of.” Snape nodded, “And I think you may not be able to serve as the principal for a few years, so you should Leave it to the young people.”

“Young man…” Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Yunkai and smiled, “That’s right. Then you should retire first!”

“Yeah.” Snape nodded.

A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

…

“Professor, this is it.”

“Well, I can just go in by myself.”

On a cliff in Scotland.

Snape’s expression was as relaxed as he had just been at Hogwarts, even with a little smile. Lu Yunkai swore that in all the years he had known Snape, he had never seen him smile as much as he did today.

But Lu Yunkai, who was following him, had a low tone.

“You don’t have to do this. This is much better than the result I wanted.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai’s sad expression and smiled, “I’m not going to die. Maybe I will remember it one day in the future. I will also go to Hogwarts to see you.”

“…Yeah.” Lu Yunkai nodded.

Snape’s words did not make him feel better at all.

Lu Yunkai knew very well that Snape shouldered the responsibility of guarding Voldemort, which was completely different from him arranging Chris to keep an eye on him.

Chris’s one is called imprisonment, and Snape’s one is called banishment.

In the past year, Lu Yunkai often saw Snape wandering around the school alone, still looking like that giant bat, but his expression was often confused.

Lu Yunkai understood that when Voldemort was destroyed again and even Dumbledore died, Snape seemed to have lost the direction of living.

He doesn’t know what he should do next, what he can do…

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that he always wanted to be, he didn’t even have the slightest enthusiasm. Even when it came to giving extra points to Slytherin in school, he wasn’t as active as before.

This is why, just now in the principal’s office, when Snape proposed that he should guard Voldemort, McGonagall and Kingsley had no objection. They all understood that Snape needed a reason to live.

This may be the best solution.

But it is also the most helpless solution.

“As your professor, there are some things I can’t tell you.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai and smiled happily, “But now, I am no longer a professor at Hogwarts, I can tell you those things. But… are you willing to listen?”

“What?” Lu Yunkai nodded.

He felt more and more uncomfortable.

What is this? Is his words good? ?

“How to become the next Dark Lord.”

“Professor… Mr. Snape, you tell me.”

“The Dark Lord has said more than once that you are very similar to Grindelwald, or even exactly the same. I have to say that he is very accurate in judging people.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai’s constipated expression, smiled and shook his head, “You have both the wisdom of Slytherin and the courage of Gryffindor, but you don’t see some things as clearly as Grindelwald.”

“…What?”

“Humanity.” Snape put away his smile, “You are a kind person, which is not a very good character, because when you sometimes have to do something not so kind, you will feel too much guilt. For example, when you need to abandon Nagini.”

At this point, Snape glanced into the hole.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

“So, you have to learn to be less kind.” Snape still said seriously: “At least, learn to be cold. For some people, you have to get used to not treating them as human beings, and then you can… Don’t interrupt me.”

Snape waved his hand, signaling Lu Yunkai who wanted to say something to shut up.

Lu Yunkai shut up obediently.

“Perhaps you have forgotten that you grew up in a Muggle beer hall. Is the guy in the beer hall worthy of your kindness?” Snape asked Lu Yunkai in return.

Lu Yunkai was silent.

Not worthy.

He also instantly understood Snape’s logic. Since not everyone is worthy, then no one is worthy.

“Humans have many kinds of emotions, some of which are great, such as love and devotion, but not everyone can have these things.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai and sighed softly, “You can’t expect everyone to be like Dumbledore, who can give up his life for the greater good. So, if one day you have to face all wizards and Muggles, what you need to do is to find their common emotions and use them.”

“…Fear?” Lu Yunkai understood a little.

The most primitive emotion of human beings, fear.

“Yes.” Snape nodded, “Of course, there is also jealousy. The two Dark Lords used this emotion to become figures worthy of being written into the history of magic. I hope they can be good role models for you.”

“Role model…” Lu Yunkai laughed, “Both of them have bad endings.”

“You told me that you want to abolish the International Statute of Secrecy, which means you are destined to follow the path of the two Dark Lords. How much better can your result be than theirs? I am not optimistic.” Snape said scary words seriously, “I have advised you more than once to stay away from The Dark Lord and the Order of the Phoenix, but you still plunged into it. This is the path you chose, don’t blame others. ”

“Yeah.”

“But you have two predecessors, you can learn some experience from them. And I… can also tell you my thoughts. “Snape looked at Lu Yunkai’s depressed look and smiled, “Before the Dark Lord reappeared a few years ago, I once thought about what defeated him. Was it the prophecy? Was it the Order of the Phoenix? Or… something else.”

“What do you think?” Lu Yunkai was also very curious about Snape’s answer.

“He went in the wrong direction.” Snape sighed softly, “He shouldn’t have chosen Muggle-born wizards as his enemies from the beginning. Those Muggle-born wizards should not only not be his enemies, but should be his most reliable allies, subordinates and supporters. ”

“Why do you say that?” Lu Yunkai was a little confused by what he said.

“Didn’t you say it yourself? Muggle-born wizards are the most opposed to the International Statute of Secrecy.” Snape shook his head. “If they choose to become a wizard, they have to reduce or even cut off contact with their Muggle parents. This is your good way of thinking. You think people are too kind…”

“Then how can you think less kindly?” Lu Yunkai vaguely guessed what Snape was going to say.

“Muggle-born wizards will be more eager to integrate into the wizarding community. Therefore, they may be eager to cut off their contact with the Muggle world.” Snape smiled slightly, “They only need proper guidance. They may even do many things beyond the bottom line of ordinary wizards in order to prove that they are wizards.”

“Yeah.” Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes.

Lu Yunkai’s heart skipped a beat.

What Snape said… seems to be right. Just like Lu Yunkai, didn’t he become the captain of Quidditch, which he had no interest in, and the prefect of Slytherin College in order to prove that he was a Slytherin?

Proper guidance…

Humanity?

“You have a natural advantage over the Dark Lord. You are born a Muggle and are a student of Slytherin College. I believe you can find a reasonable way to use this advantage to achieve your goal.” Snape looked at Lu Yunkai’s expression and smiled, “These are not my turn to teach you.”

“I understand.” Lu Yunkai nodded, indicating that he understood.

“Then I’ll go.” Snape smiled and stretched out his hand, gently hugged Lu Yunkai, patted his shoulder, and walked into the cave.

Lu Yunkai was slightly stunned.

This seems to be the first time that Snape has done such an intimate action to Lu Yunkai in the seven years since he knew him?

This man like a black iron tower…

For a moment, Lu Yunkai felt that his nose was a little sour.

“I can leave now, right?”

Snape walked into the cave, and Nagini walked out.

Looking at Lu Yunkai with red eyes, he asked.

“Okay.” Lu Yunkai nodded.

“Then we’ll never see each other again.” Nagini nodded, “I probably won’t go back to England, and I won’t see you again.”

“…”

“Why?” Nagini smiled and shook her head, “Can’t bear to leave? Not really?”

“Don’t say you’ll never see each other again! I…maybe I’ll need your help in the future!”

“Let’s talk about the future later!” Nagini smiled and sighed, “I’m leaving, goodbye.”

“…Goodbye.”

Lu Yunkai’s eyes flashed, and Nagini’s shadow disappeared.

And in the cave, Snape’s voice came faintly.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly and waved the wand in his hand.

The figure also disappeared from the coast.

…
