A day at Hogwarts

Tonight, many people were discussing how Blake got through the layers of defenses and entered Hogwarts Castle. There were various speculations, and some even suspected that there was a mole in the castle.

Snape obviously had enough reasons to suspect that someone was helping Black. Even when Dumbledore emphasized that there would be no mole, he continued to say in a low voice: "You remember our conversation, Headmaster, just before the start of term. "

"Remember, Severus." Dumbledore spoke in such a stern tone that Harry had never heard before, as if he was warning Snape to stop talking.

Snape did not back down, but continued: "Everyone agrees that it is impossible for Black to enter the castle without help from within. I have reminded you that before you appointed..."

"I don't trust anyone in this castle to help Black get in." Dumbledore interrupted Snape, his tone making it clear that this was the end of the matter.

Dumbledore continued: "I must go to the dementors. I said I would notify them as soon as we finished the search."

He wanted to leave, but Snape said: "The person who helped Black may not be the only one we have discussed. Obviously there is another person who has this possibility, isn't there?"

Dumbledore frowned tightly and asked, "Who is it?"

He had also thought that there was a mole, but everyone, including Lu Ping, ruled it out. Those who had the ability had no motive, and those who had the motive had no ability.

Snape whispered, "Someone could leave school regularly and go to the Forbidden Forest, and Polyjuice Potion wouldn't be a problem for him, would it?"

"He only cares about making money. I have never seen any student start a company or restaurant to make money in the third grade. The Black family is very rich, isn't it?"

Professor Delacour, who was eating melon at the side, immediately said seriously: "Snape, Charles is a good boy. He will not do bad things. If he helps Black, it can only mean one thing. Black is a good person."

Dumbledore also said seriously: "Severus, you cannot slander students for nothing."

Charles' cold voice suddenly sounded: "Severus Snape, if you don't publicly apologize to me at the end of breakfast tomorrow, I guarantee that newspapers all over the world will report what you have done before!"

Charles was also listening to the show just now. Unexpectedly, a flying pan was thrown on his head, and he became extremely angry.

Now that his restaurant has just opened, if someone reveals that he has colluded with a wanted criminal, the sign will be completely ruined.

A bad reputation may even affect the future development of Phoenix Logistics. What's more serious, he may not be able to find a wife in the future. No one wants to live with a person who colludes with a wanted criminal.

Charles thought about why Snape put the blame on him. There had been no deep hatred between the two parties in the past few years. The only deep-seated conflict was that he agreed to sell potions to Muggles.

When Snape betrayed Voldemort, it was not because of the conflict of ideas like Regulus Black, but because Voldemort killed Lily Potter. If only James Potter and Harry Potter died, he would only Open the champagne.

In the eyes of Voldemort and his gang, Muggles are pariahs, and wizards whose parents are Muggles are thieves, unworthy of possessing noble magic, let alone using potions.

From this perspective, Snape has a motive.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Therefore, Charles set Snape as a hostile target and could not easily reconcile.

Both Dumbledore and Snape turned pale. The main reason was that Snape had done a lot of bad things in the past. He didn't know which one Charles was talking about. What if he revealed that Snape had overheard the prophecy? Once the matter comes to light, it's over.

Aberforth knew about it, Trelawney knew about it, and they were both likely to mention it to Charles.

Harry's killing of Voldemort had a huge impact. Recently, Black's escape from prison has become a hot topic again. Many people still don't know why Voldemort wanted to kill the Potter family at that time.

Now someone tells you that Voldemort wanted to kill Harry Potter because of a prophecy. That prophecy was overheard and told to Voldemort by Snape. Calculated, Snape was one of the main culprits.

Then everyone thought, oh, Voldemort's loyal lackey Black sneaked into Hogwarts Castle by bypassing all the guards on Halloween. You, a Death Eater who participated in the death of the Potters, are in the castle. If you are not the mole, who is? Insider?

Professor Delacour and Percy entered the drama mode. Seeing the reactions of Dumbledore and Snape, they knew that there was something big behind this, and they hoped that Snape would not apologize.

Charles looked at Snape coldly, which made Snape uncomfortable and tightened his grip on his wand.

"Haha..." Charles sneered twice, "If you can, kill me now. It's best to kill my grandpa, otherwise grandpa and Penny will mention that you killed me, and there will be more reports in the newspapers."

Petunia knew about Snape and Lily when they were children. Here comes Rita Skeeter's in-depth report that Snape had pursued Harry Potter's mother, Lily Potter. People who knew about this matter still Not all of them died, and the students at Hogwarts proved that Snape's attitude towards Harry was extremely bad, so Snape's motive was that the courtship failed and love aroused hatred, and now he was taking his anger out on Harry.

Readers like to see this, even Dumbledore's words have no effect.

It also proves that what Charles originally wanted to reveal was most likely Snape's eavesdropping on the prophecy, not the past of his youth.

At this time, Dumbledore came out to be the peacemaker: "Charles, don't involve your grandfather. There are some things that are inconvenient to be disclosed to the outside world. I hope you can understand."

"Severus, your accusation is baseless, would you like to apologize to Charles now?"

He felt very tired now. Snape was an important undercover agent in dealing with Voldemort, and Charles, according to Grindelwald, was an outstanding young man with a "big backing." It would be difficult for him to handle a quarrel between the two of them.

Charles looked at Snape with a sneer. Regardless of his motives, the feud was settled today.

He gave Dumbledore a face and whispered: "Professor Dumbledore, for your sake, if Mr. Snape apologizes to me now, I will pretend that nothing happened, otherwise I will I filed a lawsuit against the Wizengamot for defamation."

Charles had thought about it. If there really was to be a trial, he would arrest Black as a witness to prove that he did not collude with him.

Dumbledore was slightly relieved. As the chief magician of the Wizengamot, he had a lot of room for maneuver and could reduce his influence to a minimum.

Snape's face was gloomy and his face was trembling slightly. He didn't expect that Charles would wake up. Seeing that the situation was not good for him, he had to admit defeat in the end.

His lips moved slightly, as if he said something, but neither Professor Delacour nor Percy heard the sound.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief and said to Charles: "Severus has apologized. I think this matter is over."

Charles nodded slightly and turned back to his sleeping bag to sleep.

Snape turned and left without saying a word, and footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

Dumbledore gave Professor Delacour and Percy a serious look and told them with his eyes not to spread this matter.
