Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Severus."

Dumbledore had obviously expected that Snape would come to him.

Even if he saw the news from the Daily Prophet, he would think it was a rumor and remain unmoved. However, when the Dark Mark on his hand was as hot as red-hot iron, Snape would not be moved. If you want to believe that the Dark Lord is really resurrected, I'm afraid you have to believe it.

"He's back, he's back Dumbledore!"

Snape's expression looked both sad and angry, like that of a poor puppy...

"Voldemort - he was indeed resurrected, but now he is in my hands." Dumbledore took out a ball of fire, which immediately turned into Voldemort's face. "You should thank Xia Lin, who captured Voldemort."

"Snape-" The flame turned into a ferocious look, looking at the man he once thought was the most loyal servant with annoyance and viciousness.

"You betrayed!"

This appearance immediately confirmed to Snape that this was indeed Voldemort. He is indeed the person he hates the most!

But--

"He has become like this, can he still activate the Dark Mark?" Snape said blankly.

In the past, Voldemort wanted to summon them through the Dark Mark, either directly through magic, or through the mark on the arm of one of the Death Eaters. But obviously, Voldemort who looks like this may no longer have this ability. .

"Of course not, Severus, there was someone else who summoned you, or it was Xia Lin." Dumbledore explained, "He defeated Voldemort and turned Voldemort's resurrected body into a puppet. , what is summoning you now, and what is reported by the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort, are actually controlled by Xia Lin."

"So -" Snape came out of his brief surprise and immediately showed a cruel expression on his face, "Now his life and death are in your hands?"

His face was full of hatred, and this look made Voldemort suddenly frightened. But he also couldn't understand that he treated Snape well. As a mixed-blood, he can keep pace with those pure-bloods by his side, or even have a higher status than them. Isn't it because of his own support?

But now, Snape's hatred for him was so obvious and unabashed.

"Snape - tell me, what did I do to make you betray me, and what did he - Dumbledore do to make you willing to sacrifice your life for him?" Voldemort said quickly, "What did he give you that I couldn't Given to you so that you would betray your master?”

"I'm afraid you will never understand, Tom." Dumbledore shook his head pitifully, "Many times, beauty is not for profit, but for love."

"Love?" Voldemort laughed.

That kind of fake thing——

"You promised me, but you broke your promise -" Snape slowly walked to Voldemort's flames and complained coldly.

"What--"

"I begged you not to kill Lily, but you!"

Snape was tearing his throat loudly, and the high-pitched voice of grief and anger caused the flame to immediately twist and become dying as if in a strong wind.

"But you killed her! You killed her!"

"Now, you want to ask me why I don't follow in your footsteps?!"

Snape almost seemed to walk completely into the flames! If Voldemort hadn't been incorporeal now, I'm afraid he would have struck him with a wand!

No!

You can fight now!

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

A shot of water immediately rushed towards the flame like a high-pressure water gun——

"I didn't actually extinguish you!"

"This is the fire of the soul, Severus..." Dumbledore was a little helpless at Snape's childish behavior. The most important thing was that the splashing water almost flooded his desk.

"Are you just doing this for a woman?" Voldemort looked at Snape absurdly, "Even her last name is Potter?"

Lily Potter.

Of course he still remembered that Snape had begged for her, and he had originally planned to let the woman live.

But what's the result?

She doesn't know what is good, so who can she blame?

"I gave her a chance, Snape—"

"Yes, I also gave you a chance - if Lily is still alive at that time, I will not betray you!"

"If you are willing to show your loyalty to me again, let alone a woman, even ten, a hundred -"

"Shut up!"

Snape interrupted Voldemort angrily.

"You don't understand at all!"

"A hundred? A thousand? No! There's only one Lily!"

Voldemort simply stopped talking and looked at Snape with eyes made of flames. He finally understood what kind of person Snape was - the kind of stupid idiot that he couldn't understand.

Under his own rule, he could obviously gain more, but he still had to guard something that was even incomplete, treating her as a treasure.

"Kill him, Dumbledore!"

Snape turned his gaze to Dumbledore, but Dumbledore just shook his head.

"Haha - I disappoint you Snape, you may be able to control me, but you will never be able to kill me!" The flame immediately laughed triumphantly, "I have mastered the secret of Yonghen's immortality! "

"Just become a ball of flames that can't take care of themselves?" Snape sneered and urged again, but Dumbledore just shook his head.

Seeing this, Voldemort became even more proud:

"You can never kill me! Just wait, Dumbledore! You will die sooner or later, and that Charlene Gold - I also have the patience to wait for the day when his power begins to fade!"

Dumbledore said nothing, just silently put away the flame.

"Dumbledore, he - is what he said true?" Snape said hatefully.

If Harry could see this, he would know that Snape's hatred for him would be nothing.

"It was true before, but now, Xia Lin and I have actually found a way to completely kill Voldemort." Dumbledore explained, "But it will take a little time. In addition, you no longer need to deliberately target Harry. It’s profitable.”

Snape stared at Dumbledore, realizing that he didn't seem to want to tell him the way to kill Voldemort, and then he finally walked out angrily.

"etc--"

"What? Have you changed your mind?"

"No, it's just... I want you to pretend you don't know what happened tonight, and then respond to Voldemort's call." Dumbledore said hesitantly.

"Respond to the summons...?" Snape thought for a moment, quickly understood the meaning, and immediately sarcastically said: "What's wrong? After Charlene Gold defeated Voldemort, you have to start doubting him again. ?”

"I'm just worried that he's going astray."
