"Professor, although I know that asking this question again and again will not make much sense after all. But... do you really think that that mirror can bring you to Harry's... Well, I mean, Lily...

In front of Evans?"

At this time, Maka had already sat down at the dining table in the living room. Facing Snape, who always looked indifferent, he really didn't know how to speak.

But in this world, the one who is closest to the current Grindelwald is probably Snape. No matter what clues he wants to get, Maka will have to work hard on Snape.

The final analysis of this incident was that he was helpless with the floor-to-ceiling round mirror. If there was any more likely solution, the starting point would naturally be the round mirror itself.

However, when Snape heard him asking this question, he still remained silent. Obviously, Snape was betting all his money on that mirror now, wasn't it? Even if Maka asked again and again, he still couldn't say anything.

I have no intention of telling you why.

"Professor..." Seeing this, Maka could only sigh, "Since you don't want to say it, let me say it first! You can listen to it and see if what I say makes sense... First of all, Grindelwald's purpose

You should know that, right?"

Snape hesitated slightly, probably thinking that it would be okay to answer such a question, so he nodded simply.

"Yes," Maca also nodded. "He wanted to follow in the footsteps of Professor Dumbledore, so he got the mirror from somewhere and wanted to use it in front of the body of his old friend Dumbledore.

As far as I know, he thought the mirror would open a passage to where Dumbledore was."

This was a conclusion drawn based on Grindelwald's words and deeds at the time. In fact, it was not the truth. But when Maca saw Snape nod again, he became more certain.

"That's what Greenwald thinks," Maka said after silently confirming, "Although I'm not sure yet whether he is right - because the situation of that mirror is quite special. If you don't go there in person,

If we look at it, no one can make a conclusion. So, I’ll just assume he’s right..."

"Put this matter aside for now," he shook his head and suddenly changed his subject, "Professor, do you still remember the materialized memory that Professor Dumbledore asked you to give to me before?"

Seeing Maka changing the topic as she spoke, Snape couldn't help but have some questions.

"Remember, what happened?" He said calmly.

When he said these words, Snape's expression did not change at all. It was obvious that he had made up his mind and was determined not to be disturbed by any words.

"I saw Professor Dumbledore in the pensieve," Maka thought about it for a moment, then suddenly confessed, "I didn't see Professor Dumbledore in my memory, but him in person!"

"Oh?" Snape's eyes narrowed when he heard these words.

Of course he was not surprised that Maka met Dumbledore, but because since Maka had already met Dumbledore, she must have also seen the mysterious place where Dumbledore went.

You know, when Snape gave that memory to Maka, Dumbledore was already dead.

After all, when Dumbledore died, there was no one else present except Snape himself. To be clear about Dumbledore's death, Snape was the only one in the world.

"Have you really met Dumbledore?" he said hesitantly, "in person?"

Knowing that Snape has always been cautious, it is naturally impossible for him to believe such one-sided words. Regarding this, although Maka has prepared a way to deal with it, but now that it is really about to be implemented, her heart is

It was inevitable to hesitate again.

Like Snape, Maka is also a very cautious person. If he is asked to make some extremely risky moves, it will undoubtedly put him in a dilemma.

After hesitating for a while, Maka breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes silently, collected his thoughts, and then opened his eyes again and looked at Snape.

"Professor, I have unlocked that part of the memory. You..." He paused for a moment, then said again, "You can read it yourself."

Once Occlumency is practiced to a deep level, it can isolate specific parts of memories, and even materialize them into a white floc that can be taken out and preserved.

This kind of magic is not easy to learn, let alone master, but it is very practical. Maka started practicing it a long time ago and has continued to practice it until now. It can be said that it is quite good.

However, Snape himself was a master of Occlumency and Legilimency. In these two magics, his abilities were not much worse than Dumbledore's.

Allowing such a master to read his own memory, even if it only unlocks a small part, Maka will have to bear a lot of risks. To be honest, there are too many contents in his memory that cannot be exposed.

.

Regarding Maka's actions, Snape finally no longer had a dead face. He looked at Maka in surprise, but he didn't take action. He didn't know what he was thinking.

"professor?"

Now that he had said it out loud, Maka no longer hesitated and instead urged her a little.

"I see..." Probably because his desire for confirmation outweighed some of the hesitation in his heart, Snape stopped delaying, took out his wand and pointed at Maka, "Legilimency."

The moment Snape cast the spell, Maka's use of Occlumency reached its peak. Just as he was worried, although he still trusted Snape, once the relationship got too involved, he would

Have to be careful.

But he also knew that gaining Snape's trust and assistance was indispensable in this incident. There were too few clues about Greenwald and the round mirror.

He couldn't let go of this opportunity.

As Maka's expression trembled, Snape's spirit immediately invaded his mind, and a memory soon revealed itself in Snape's consciousness.

For this master of memory spells, traces of tampering can naturally be distinguished in a very subtle way. When Snape looked at that memory in detail, the two people's minds were immediately disconnected.

link.

While Snape was frowning in thought for a moment, Maka secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Letting others browse through her memories at will, even with her consent, would not be a good experience.

At the moment, he could only be grateful that he had taken the initiative to befriend Snape because of his admiration for magical knowledge. It was actually the most correct decision he had made so far.

To be honest, although Snape cannot be said to be a bad person, he is definitely not a good person. From the beginning, he felt that he and Snape were really similar in some aspects, so he also understood very well.

For people like them, trust is a very precious and rare thing.

As Snape put away his wand and thought alone, time was slowly passing by. One of the two people kept silent, weighing things up, and the other calmed down and waited silently. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that they would inevitably come to a conclusion today.

A final conclusion.

So far, Maka has said everything she needs to say, and what she wants to convey to Snape has been accurately conveyed. What the conclusion will be after that depends entirely on Snape's judgment.

After a long time, although it was still dark, it felt like a whole night had passed to Maka. Finally, Snape raised his head and returned his gaze to Maka's face.

"McClane...do you know about the Mirror of Erised?"

Maka was stunned for a moment by this question suddenly raised by Snape.

Of course he knew that this mirror had been stored in Hogwarts Castle, but because of his influence, the sunglasses that were supposed to appear in the first year never appeared.

Yes, when Snape heard Snape mention the Mirror of Erised, he immediately compared it with the mysterious round mirror.

The two are both magic floor mirrors. If we had to connect them, they might have a lot of similarities. But if we talk about the differences, there would be even more.

The magical effect of the Mirror of Erised is very unique, and it is also dangerous to a certain extent, because it can show a person's most urgent and strongest desires. If a person with a weak mind stands in front of it, he may even become depressed because of it.

Falling into infinite confusion and madness.

But compared with the floor-to-ceiling round mirror made by Greenwald, it is really not worth mentioning.

In confusion, Maka nodded towards Snape, indicating that the other person could continue talking.

"Greenwald once told me that the Mirror of Erised stored in Hogwarts is a replica made by Rowena Ravenclaw based on another ancient mirror with powerful magic." Snape said softly.

He said, "Moreover, Ravenclaw used this imitation to set an unbreakable seal for that powerful ancient magic mirror."

"Rowner Ravenclaw?"

Maka never expected that he would hear this extremely familiar name to him again under such circumstances. Who would have expected that the mysterious floor-to-ceiling round mirror would actually be related to Raven again?

Crow is involved?

The cause of the incident at the Bewitched Monument has not yet been completely resolved, and now the floor-to-ceiling round mirror can't wait to be placed in front of him. Both of them can be said to be the source of a huge disaster and the root of the so-called evil.

It seems that this Rowena Ravenclaw... no, maybe she should be called Rowena Mira, one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the founder of Ravenclaw Academy. How can she

Are they always involved in these major disasters?

Maka's expression at this moment changed several times in an instant, and her heart became even more uneasy.
