The castle search organized by Headmaster Dumbledore ultimately failed to find any intruders or dangerous magical creatures running in from the Forbidden Forest, so the search had to be disbanded on the spot.
After all, the secret room is located under the castle, and the basilisk moves along the intricate sewers.
Unless caught in the act, it is almost impossible to find or catch it.
Especially its scales that are full of magic resistance can resist or even rebound many spells with insufficient power, which even professors have to spend some effort to deal with.
However, Dumbledore did not give up. Instead, he wanted to wait for the unconscious victim to wake up, and then see if he could use the Pensieve to extract the memory of the attack and confirm the true identity of the attacker.
Because openly attacking students in Hogwarts Castle undoubtedly seriously touched his bottom line.
The old man won't give up until he finds out the truth.
As for the "little incident" that happened in the cellar warehouse between Lockhart and Zoser who were controlled by the young Voldemort, outsiders had no way of knowing it.
Anyway, the two parties will not reveal it to anyone, but will keep it as a secret known only to each other.
Especially Voldemort, after returning to Lockhart's office, he immediately hid the diary in the secret chamber, and had the Basilisk guard it 24 hours a day.
In addition, he went to the Forbidden Forest to hunt many animals to feed his hungry pet, and accelerated the speed of devouring and absorbing Lockhart's vitality.
Obviously, the previous battle with Zuo Si gave the young Dark Lord great stimulation.
This led him to make an astonishing decision, which was to wait until he was completely resurrected to find another self to join forces.
Since the Horcruxes can sense each other, Voldemort himself, who was hiding in Albania, also vaguely felt that one of his Horcruxes had awakened.
It's just that due to the distance, I don't know which one it is.
Moreover, now that he didn't even have a person to possess, he didn't dare to return to the British Isles, let alone approach Hogwarts where Dumbledore was.
At this moment, this guy who once made the British wizarding world tremble in fear was hiding in an empty bunker, reading a newspaper that he had just found from a local wizard.
The unfortunate wizard was now lying in a corner of the bunker. Not only was his whole body stiff, but his face was pale and blue. There were two obvious holes on his neck, but he was no longer bleeding. It was obvious that he had died of poisoning.
To be exact, he was bitten to death by a snake possessed by Voldemort.
I guess by the time other people found the body, it would have already rotted away to a pile of bones.
You should know that Albania is a famous "bunker country" and its leader Enver Hoxha is even more famous for his "persecution complex" and "bunker-building maniac".
In the four decades after World War II, hundreds of thousands of bunkers were built frantically across the country.
On average, there is one bunker for every ten Albanians, a coverage rate that is unmatched by any other country.
Therefore, the name of “Bunker Country” is not undeserved.
With so many bunkers, it is impossible for people to inspect and maintain them frequently, so they naturally become perfect hiding places.
Coupled with the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe in the past two years, the whole of Albania is experiencing severe turmoil, and the whole country is deeply involved in a Ponzi scheme, and no one is willing to take care of these bunkers.
As for the local wizards, due to their small number and extremely closed relationship, it is impossible for them to form a unified and effective management organization like in other places.
This is also the reason why Voldemort chose to hide here.
When he saw the news about the second philosopher's stone and resurrection all over the newspapers, he instantly fell into uncontrollable ecstasy.
Because this power is the perfect solution to free it from its current half-dead state.
But the only problem is, where can we find a loyal subordinate to sneak into the Ministry of Magic and steal the Philosopher's Stone made by Zuo Si?
After pondering for a long time, Voldemort quickly set his sights on another awakened Horcrux.
At this point, he simply couldn't trust those Death Eaters who either chose to betray or escape after his downfall. Instead, he believed that his other self was more trustworthy.
Thus, under the influence of Zuo Si's butterfly flapping its wings, the two dark lords of different ages actually joined forces miraculously.
I don't know how the wizards in the British magical world will react when they hear the news. Will they be scared to death?
After all, Voldemort alone caused them so much trouble that they still have psychological trauma now. It would be disastrous if two of them got together.
Zuo Si obviously knew nothing about the two dark lords' impending alliance.
I guess even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much.
Because he already had a clear understanding of Voldemort's potential and upper limit, and did not think that the other party could pose any threat to him.
Let alone two, even if seven Horcruxes awakened at the same time and a dragon that could grant wishes was summoned at the same time, it would be useless.
Without access to magical knowledge and technology from other worlds, even the most talented people would find it difficult to break the limitations of their own civilization. Voldemort is the best example.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not escape from the magic system of wands and spells that had been formed one or two thousand years ago.
This is why planeswalkers are called the most buggy group in the multiverse.
They can travel through all kinds of strange planes and worlds without any restrictions, absorb knowledge and power from completely different magical civilizations, and then form a unique magic system that best suits themselves.
Coupled with the long lifespan of thousands or even tens of thousands of years granted by the spark, as long as one does not seek death, sooner or later one will become a powerful being like a god, or even surpass a god.
So from the very beginning, Zuo Si didn't take Voldemort seriously.
At this moment, he was sitting in Snape's house, watching with great interest the scene of mother and son recognizing each other.
Last semester, Harry had seen his mother's appearance when she was young through the magic mirror and the photo album provided by Hagrid.
So the moment I stepped over the threshold, I started shaking with excitement.
Lily obviously noticed the boy who had the same dark green eyes as her, and immediately felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness from the bottom of her heart.
She first stood up and kissed Snape, then asked in an uncertain tone: "Who is this child?"
"His name is Harry Potter, your son." Snape replied in a very gentle voice.
"Me...and your son?" Lily opened her mouth in surprise.
The savior who was standing at the door and was about to rush up to greet her had the same reaction as her.
Especially when he saw the scene of his mother kissing Snape, Harry immediately got goose bumps all over his body and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Snape shook his head slightly. "No, of course not. His last name is Potter, and he is your child with another disgusting bastard.
It was that self-righteous guy who led to the subsequent tragedy and your death.
Some time ago, I didn't tell you this because you had just been resurrected and your mind and memory were in a mess.
Now that everything has returned to normal, I think it's time for you and your son to be reunited."
"You mean... I was married to someone else?" Lily's face showed an expression of disbelief and shock.
Because she selectively told the truth, she always believed that she and Snape were a perfect match, which is why she fell in love so quickly with each other's sweet words.
But now, the whole thing suddenly took a huge turn.
It turns out that she was not only married to someone else, but also had a child! What on earth is going on?
Did the scumbag Snape change his mind? Or did I cheat on him?
Lily's sixth sense as a woman kicked in, and she instantly felt that something must be wrong.
"Dear, let me explain."
Snape was visibly flustered when he noticed the passionate reaction from the love of his life.
Just when he was about to reveal all the secrets, Zuo Si suddenly stood up and interrupted, "Ms. Lily, the truth is actually this. You and Professor Snape are childhood sweethearts, and your relationship has always been very good. But all this has changed a little since you entered Hogwarts to study."
"What changes?" Lily asked with a frown.
"It's the Sorting. As we all know, Hogwarts is divided into four major colleges, and every student will be assigned to one of them according to the arrangement of the Sorting Hat when they enter school.
Unfortunately, Professor Snape was sorted into Slytherin House, and you were sorted into Gryffindor.
The most important thing is that there have always been complicated grievances and hatreds between the two colleges, so both sides often dislike each other.
During the school year, there was a very annoying and self-righteous guy in Gryffindor House who always liked to actively cause trouble for Slytherin students and even formed gangs to bully Professor Snape.
Eventually, the two sides developed a grudge against each other and gradually became enemies over the course of several years.
It was at this time that this nasty guy discovered your close relationship with Professor Snape, so he came up with a very vicious idea, which was to intervene and take you away from Professor Snape.
To achieve this goal, he and his accomplices designed a series of traps to make you misunderstand Professor Snape, and ultimately succeed in breaking up the two of you, and then take advantage of the opportunity to swoop in.
And this person is Harry Potter's father, your first husband.
Later, because of the blow of this incident, Professor Snape became disheartened and gave up on himself, choosing to join the Death Eaters and become one of Voldemort's men.
But even so, he still explicitly asked Voldemort not to hurt you.
Even after learning that you were killed, he immediately turned against you in a rage, and promised Headmaster Dumbledore to protect your child Harry Potter, secretly becoming a double agent who always bears huge risks..."
There is no doubt that in Zuo Si's selective description, Snape has completely become a great man who is willing to sacrifice everything and give up everything for love, while Harry's father is an out-and-out despicable villain.
Moreover, he grasped Lily's psychology very accurately, so that after listening to him, she was immediately moved to the point that she forgot her previous doubts and immediately held Snape's face and kissed him.
As for Snape, while enjoying the kiss that was as hot as fire, he secretly cast a glance of gratitude.
At this moment, the Potions Master finally realized why Zuo Si was always able to handle his relationships with everyone around him with ease, and remained calm even when facing a difficult character like Dumbledore.
Putting aside other things, just the method of guessing the other person's mind and telling them what they want to hear most in a half-true and half-false way is enough to make people feel terrified.
In addition, this kind of fear is different from Voldemort's, which is built on simple violence, killing and death. It is something deeper and closer to the essence.
Especially when the light in the house shone on Zuo Si, the huge shadow projected onto the wall seemed as if that was the true face of his soul hidden beneath his skin.
But compared to Snape who had just resolved a crisis, Harry, who was witnessing his biological mother kissing his most hated professor, clearly showed a very unhappy, even disgusted expression.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to stay calm, then walked over to Zuo Si and questioned, "Is what you just said true? Did my father deliberately break up Snape and my mother in order to take revenge on Snape, and then take advantage of the situation?"
"Of course! I never lie about such things (I just selectively tell the truth)." Zuo Si pursed his lips and answered meaningfully.
In fact, when James Potter first started pursuing Lily, he did have this idea.
But later, as the two got closer, he was inevitably fascinated by each other.
After all, among her peers, there is hardly any witch who can perform better than Lily.
Otherwise, the two would have been separated in the pursuit that lasted for more than a year. How could they have found time to have a child?
But Zuo Si would definitely not tell Harry this.
He was not familiar with James Potter, so why should he give up the good relationship he had established with Potions Master Snape for him?
"But Hagrid said my father was a good man," Harry argued, frowning.
Zuo Si sneered and asked back, "Good guy? Do you think good guys would bully other students? Moreover, Hagrid himself is from Gryffindor, so he will inevitably side with his own people. Most importantly, your father has been dead for more than ten years. There is no point in arguing whether he is good or not now."
"No! It makes sense! Since my mother has been resurrected, my father can also be resurrected."
As he said this, a light of hope flickered in the Savior's eyes.
"Haha, yes, that's true in theory. But the question is, are you sure you can get a place from the Ministry of Magic? As far as I know, the resurrection list has already been scheduled for two or three years. They won't give you any convenience just because you are Harry Potter."
Zuo Si directly poured a basin of cold water on the whimsical child in front of him.
In the Ministry of Magic where interests are intertwined, fame is of no use at all.
Especially those bureaucrats who hold power, they don't care whether you are a savior or not, but they will look at your status in the wizarding world and how much money you can donate to the Ministry of Magic.
Although Harry had a large inheritance at his disposal, he was still only a second-year student at Hogwarts and lacked the most basic social status.
"Can't you help me?"
The Savior subconsciously asked a very naive and stupid question.
Zuo Si shook his head bluntly: "Sorry, no. I have handed over the right to use the Philosopher's Stone to the Ministry of Magic. If you want to resurrect your father, you can only rely on yourself to follow the normal process. If nothing unexpected happens, at least don't dream about it before graduation. By that time, I guess you will have given birth to several half brothers or sisters."
After saying that, Zuo Si turned his gaze to Lily's slightly bulging belly.
No one knew if it was because he used some potion that could enhance fertility, or because he did certain exercises too frequently, but Snape actually caused a death.
With this developing fetus as insurance, even if James Potter were to be resurrected immediately, don't expect to be able to separate the two easily.
Just as Harry was about to say something, the other two adults in the room finally came back to normal from their passionate kiss.
Lily calmed down her excitement for a while, then walked over and hugged her son in her arms, saying with tears in her eyes: "You must have suffered a lot over the years, right?"
"Well - it's actually not that bad. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon at least gave me a place to live." Harry responded with a relaxed tone, trying hard to hold back his tears.
"Did they abuse you?" Lily's eyes flashed with anger.
"Ma'am, your sister and brother-in-law not only abused Harry, but also forced him to do all kinds of housework. If he was not satisfied, they would lock him up and not give him food. Although Headmaster Dumbledore did this to ensure that the protective magic you cast on Harry would continue to work and ensure that Voldemort could not harm him, I think it is still inappropriate."
Zuo Si interjected at the right moment.
His purpose was simple, which was to weaken Dumbledore's influence on the woman in front of him as much as possible, so as to ensure that Snape would always be on his side.
"What? How dare they! And Dumbledore! Who gave him the power to arrange my son!"
Lily flew into a rage instantly, not giving the greatest wizard of the time any face at all.
Because legally speaking, Dumbledore had no blood relationship with Harry Potter himself, so he had no right to decide who would give the then-infant Harry to raise.
"Honey, calm down and don't be angry. Don't forget that you are pregnant now. Being angry is not good for your body or the baby. Don't worry, I have used some means to help you get back custody. Once the Ministry of Magic approves the legal status, you can let Harry live with us." Snape hurried over to comfort her.
"Really?" Lily's face was full of emotion and surprise.
During the time they had been together since her resurrection, she had already noticed the man's infatuation with her.
Especially if there was something he wanted, as long as he showed the slightest interest, Snape would prepare it the next day without even asking.
This kind of meticulous care and protection is fatal to any woman.
Snape nodded seriously: "Of course it's true. If you want, I can bring Harry back to visit you every day after class and have dinner together."
"That's great! Severus! You are so considerate." Lily stretched out her other hand to hold Snape.
At this moment, she hugged her lover with one hand and her long-lost son with the other, and she was surrounded by a great sense of happiness.
The warmth and affection brought by being hugged by his biological mother naturally made him very happy and joyful.
But when he saw Snape's face so close to him with a happy smile on his face, he felt an indescribable awkwardness, rejection and discomfort.
fortunately!
Lily's hug didn't last long. After a brief chat, she immediately ran into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Hearing that her son was often hungry and abused in his sister and brother-in-law's home made her eager to do something to make amends.
After watching the young mother walk away, Snape, who had successfully passed the test without any danger, was obviously relieved. He stood up and poured himself a glass of wine, and asked Zuo Si and Harry with a smile: "There is still a while before dinner, what would you two like to drink?"
"Apart from alcoholic beverages, tea, lemonade, juice and coffee are all fine." Zuo Si shrugged indifferently.
He has never been picky about drinks, but he has no interest in alcohol.
On the one hand, the primitive and backward winemaking technology of the continent of Faerun did not leave a good impression on him. On the other hand, the taste of alcohol was too bad and would have a certain negative impact on the brain.
"I'll have a butterbeer."
Harry seemed a little reserved and quietly asked for a drink that was more traditional in the British wizarding world.
It can be seen that his mind is in a mess now.
Especially after witnessing the deep love between my mother and the professor I hated the most, I had no idea what to do.
Snape raised his wand and waved it gently, and soon placed the drinks and cups they ordered on the table in the living room.
After he finished all this, he smiled and said to Zuo Si: "Thank you! If it weren't for your help, I don't know how to end it."
"You are too polite. I just told you exactly what happened. Finally, congratulations on becoming a father soon..."
While saying this, Zuo Si deliberately glanced at the savior sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye.
Obviously, this is a typical pun.
Although Harry Potter himself did not notice it, Snape understood it instantly. The corners of his mouth rose wildly. He touched his hair and laughed, saying, "Hahaha! Fate is really unpredictable. I can't believe that I can get back everything I lost, and even have a family and a child of my own. By the way, if it's a boy, what name do you think I should give it?"
"I think you should ask Harry's opinion. He's going to be a big brother after all."
Zuo Si nudged the Savior, who was guzzling butterbeer, with his elbow.
The latter was choked violently, and first covered his mouth and coughed violently for several seconds, and then asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"
"Give your brother or sister a name. After all, you are also a member of this family." Snape repeated in an "old father" tone.
"I... I don't know. This all happened so suddenly. I think I may need some time to digest and adapt." Harry responded with a wry smile.
Mother?
Stepfather?
New family?
And a half brother or sister? Especially Snape's 180-degree turn in attitude, which always made him feel very absurd and unreal, and he was very, very, very uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I understand. But promise me, at least in front of your mother Lily, we must at least act like a loving family, okay? I hope she can live in joy and happiness every day from now on, without any worries." Snape lowered his posture very much and asked in a sincere tone.
From those affectionate eyes, Harry clearly felt the man's feelings for his mother. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately replied, "Okay! I promise you!"
"Thank you! In exchange, I will also give you some extra help in school within my ability. For example, I will take care of Draco every now and then." Snape said in a half-joking tone.
This sentence reminded Harry of the embarrassing look on his face when Master Malfoy had caused trouble for him during the day and was severely scolded. He couldn't help laughing.
He suddenly realized that what he actually hated was not Snape, but the fact that he always sided with Slytherin and targeted him.
Now, on the contrary, I feel an inexplicable excitement and refreshment.
While enjoying the sumptuous dinner, Lily kept adding more food to her son's plate, which quickly eliminated the strangeness between mother and son. At the same time, it made Harry feel for the first time what true family love was. He ate almost twice as much food as usual until his stomach could no longer hold anything.
Even when returning to Hogwarts, he was always reluctant to leave and looked back every three steps to wave goodbye.
In this way, with Snape's deliberate catering, Harry Potter finally accepted reluctantly that his mother was about to marry another man other than his father, and promised to attend the wedding and send his blessings.
But he didn't know yet that all this was just the beginning and not the end.
After the marriage, Snape will get full custody of Harry, which will inevitably destroy the tragic fate that Dumbledore originally arranged for Harry, and instead push him onto a completely different life path.
At that time, the contradictions and conflicts between the two will break out in full swing.
The savior will also face an extremely difficult choice, that is, to choose to believe in the principal he respects, or to obey the arrangements of his mother and stepfather.
…
Obviously, something like taking Harry Potter away from Hogwarts could not be hidden from Dumbledore, the headmaster.
When the three of them walked into the auditorium on the first floor, they saw the old man standing at the door waiting for them.
"Where have you been?" Dumbledore asked expressionlessly.
"I……"
Harry was obviously feeling guilty, and he cautiously turned his gaze to the other two people around him.
Snape was obviously not as afraid of the headmaster as the others. He stepped forward and blocked his stepson behind him. He answered simply and neatly, "I took them home."
"Home?"
Dumbledore had obviously gotten the answer he wanted from the Savior's reaction. He narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "I don't remember you having a home, Severus. And Hogwarts is a full-time boarding magic school. Students are absolutely not allowed to leave the school without asking for leave and getting approval."
"When did you care so much about school rules? I remember that Gryffindor graduates love to break the rules the most. What's more, do you really have the heart to stop a child from seeing his biological mother whom he hasn't met for ten years?" Snape sneered.
"So Lily was resurrected? Do you really know what you are doing?" Dumbledore's tone suddenly became stern.
Snape curled his lips in disdain: "Humph! Of course I know what I'm doing. And the wizarding world is undergoing drastic changes nowadays. Your outdated stuff is no longer up to date. If you still want to train Harry to be a weapon against Voldemort, you have to get past me first. For Lily, I will never allow anyone to hurt him."
"Weapons? Me?"
Harry was completely stunned.
"That's right. Do you think Dumbledore has any good intentions? No! He is using you! He wants you to fight Voldemort to the death, or even die with him." Snape chose to reveal his cards directly.
Because from the moment Lily was resurrected, he completely parted ways with Dumbledore.
It’s just that neither side has broken this window paper before.
"Is this true, Professor?"
Harry clearly felt betrayed, and subconsciously clenched his fists and asked loudly.
Dumbledore took a deep breath and responded in a slightly tired voice: "Yes, Snape is right, I did plan to do so. But all this is the fate you must face! Because the lightning-shaped scar on your head contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul, or in other words, you are the Horcrux he created by accident."
"Horcrux? What's that?"
Harry felt that his little brain was beginning to have trouble keeping up.
At this moment, he began to envy Zuo Si's profound knowledge and his ability to remain calm and composed no matter what happened.
"This is a bit difficult to explain and too complicated for you, so let's put it aside for now. You just need to believe that what I do is not to harm you, but to help you." Dumbledore explained patiently.
Unfortunately, just as Harry was beginning to trust the old headmaster, Zuo Si suddenly interrupted him and said, "Professor, manipulating other people's fate at will, whether it is out of good intentions or bad intentions, is definitely not kindness in nature. And Ms. Lily asked me to bring you a message. The original meaning was that you, Dumbledore, have no qualifications to arrange for her son."
moment!
Dumbledore's face changed drastically.
As Harry Potter's mother, Lily is obviously qualified to say this, and can even disrupt all his plans.
After all, even the greatest wizard of our time could never have as much influence on a child as his biological mother.
This is why he strongly opposes using the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect the dead.
When people who have been dead for several years or even more than ten years are resurrected, there are too many uncertainties.
"Are you going to oppose me too?" Dumbledore asked, staring into Zuo Si's eyes.
Zuo Si smiled and retorted, “No, professor, you are wrong.
I'm not against you, I just want to give Harry a chance to choose his own destiny, instead of being manipulated like a puppet according to the route you planned.
Most importantly, don't you think it is a very dangerous and cruel thing to deliberately arrange a few first-year students to face a twisted and sick soul like Voldemort? "
"An...arrangement! Are you saying that my encounter with Voldemort last semester was arranged? Is that true? Professor Dumbledore!"
Harry, who was beginning to understand some of the truth, looked extremely angry.
He simply couldn't believe that the principal he had always respected had been deceiving and fooling him like a fool.
Dumbledore quickly explained, "It's not what you think. It's true that I arranged the meeting with Voldemort, but I just hope that you can see the most powerful and terrible enemy in the future with your own eyes, and become brave and resolute."
"Then why didn't you tell me the truth afterwards?" Harry questioned bluntly.
It is not difficult to tell from his tone and expression that he no longer trusts the other party.
"Alas - you are too emotional. Today is not suitable for conversation. Let's wait until another day."
Realizing that the boy in front of him would not listen to anything he said, Dumbledore could only sigh and turn away.
After watching his back gradually disappear around the corner of the stairs leading to the upper floors, Zuo Si said in a slightly playful tone, "It seems that after tonight, we will all be on the principal's blacklist."
"It doesn't matter! No matter what he thinks, I will never obey his orders again." Snape expressed his attitude clearly.
From the moment he chose to confront the enemy, he had anticipated this day and made countless preparations accordingly.
What's more, Dumbledore is not a dark wizard and will only take measures within the rules. There is no need to be afraid.
"That's true. Let's just deal with it as it happens." Zuo Si shrugged indifferently.
As the plan went very smoothly, he had already gained great fame and an important position in the wizarding world, so he didn't need to consider Dumbledore's face at all.
If necessary, some means can even be used to replace the headmaster of Hogwarts.
You have to know that Zuo Si is a professional at playing with rules, laws and exchanging interests. Even ten Dumbledores tied together are no match for him.
"Um...can anyone of you explain to me what is going on?" Harry blinked in confusion.
"Come on, follow me to the office and I'll tell you the truth."
Snape took the initiative to take over the task and pulled the savior away to the end of the stairs leading to the cellar.
When everything calmed down, Zuo Si turned around and said to the clock in the corner, "How long do you plan to hide there? Be careful not to catch a cold."
Before he finished speaking!
Suddenly, a sharp sneeze was heard near the clock.
Immediately afterwards herself, a girl in pink skimpy pajamas appeared out of nowhere, covering her mouth and nose. It was Miss Hermione Granger.
She had messy long hair, and was wearing fluffy slippers. She was holding a towel, soap, toothbrush and other toiletries in her hands. She was emitting water vapor and a faint smell of shower gel, and it was obvious that she had just taken a shower.
The girl who was caught on the spot blushed and explained a little embarrassedly: "I swear I just happened to pass by and I definitely didn't mean to eavesdrop."
"Just happened to be walking by? And happened to cast a silent Disillusionment Charm?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing this.
"Damn it! Can't you give me a way out? Okay, I admit that I was curious about why Headmaster Dumbledore was standing at the door, so I cast an Disillusionment Charm to see what he was going to do. But who would have thought that I would hear your conversation." Hermione rolled her eyes angrily.
"Haha, it's just as I expected."
Zuo Si couldn't help laughing.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the girl curled up in the corner, but he didn't expose her.
"By the way, what on earth were you talking about just now? Did Dumbledore really want to train Harry to be a weapon against Voldemort?"
Hermione, who accidentally learned a lot, was obviously curious about the ins and outs of this matter.
"It's a long story. Remember the lightning-shaped mark on Harry's forehead? That was actually a Horcrux, a soul fragment that Voldemort accidentally left in his body..."
Zuo Si recounted the entire incident in a leisurely and calm tone, without concealing anything.
Because he knew that Snape was telling Harry the story at the moment, and it would soon no longer be a secret.
"Oh my God! This... this is so cruel! There are fragments of his enemy's soul in Harry's body, so he must kill himself in the end in order to completely destroy Voldemort?" The girl exclaimed, covering her mouth.
"No, dear Miss Granger, the real cruelty is not this, but the fact that Harry's fate has been clearly arranged by Professor Dumbledore since he was a baby. Just imagine, if your life is arranged by another guy and you know nothing about it, wouldn't you be afraid and angry?"
As Zuo Si spoke, he took out his magic wand and intended to cast a spell on the girl who was shivering from the cold.
But Hermione stopped him from doing so and instead unbuttoned his coat and moved herself forward and inside.
After feeling each other's temperature and scent for a while, the girl smiled bitterly and said, "It's quite scary. Professor Dumbledore obviously went too far, although his original intention was good. He hoped that Harry would be as well prepared as possible when facing Voldemort."
"So this is why Professor Snape, I argued and had conflicts with the headmaster. Times are changing, spells and magic are improving. Professor Dumbledore himself couldn't solve the Horcruxes, but that doesn't mean we, the latecomers, can't solve them."
When saying this, Zuo Si's tone and expression were full of strong confidence.
With the depth of his research in the soul field, as long as he figured out the secret of Horcrux creation, it would be easy for him to crack it.
What's more, even if they cannot crack it, they can still destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes by creating clones to transfer souls, or by killing and resurrecting them by mistake, while ensuring Harry Potter's survival.
"I believe you can do it!"
Hermione raised her head with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and at the same time, she hugged her hands tighter inside her clothes and her breathing became more rapid.
There is no doubt that this is a very obvious invitation signal.
Zuo Si lowered his head in response.
Finally, the two hugged each other and had a close contact that lasted for several minutes...
