"It's very bad. Although I got rid of the control, the power that controlled me still remains, just like the devil's ivy, it is tightly entangled in my mind, trying to re-modify my thinking."

Severus's face was bloodless, pale and gray, his eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was fighting against an invisible demon. Even when Dumbledore asked questions, Snape did not open his eyes to look at him.

"However, after taking the Jiafei Brain Refreshing Potion, my mental strength has been improved, and my Occlumency has become more stable and tough. They can no longer interfere with my thinking."

"I know you have many questions for me, Albus."

"Just ask."

Indeed, Dumbledore is now full of confusion. In Hogwarts, apart from Professor McGonagall, the person he trusts the most is Snape.

But it was this person he had never suspected who tampered with the trophy the night before the competition, pushing Harry into a death trap.

Even though everyone gained the stolen goods, Dumbledore still didn't believe that Snape would harm Harry. He believed in Snape's love for Lily, Harry's mother.

So after catching Snape, Dumbledore didn't say anything. He just called Moody, and together with him, he temporarily locked up Snape and checked whether he had been hit by the Imperius Curse.

Fortunately, Snape was indeed under a spell similar to the Imperius Curse and did not really rebel.

It's just that Snape's spell is more domineering than the Imperius Curse.

Snape is already the world's top Occlumency master.

In particular, Voldemort likes to use Legilimency to unscrupulously explore the memories and thoughts of his subordinates. Every time he faces Voldemort, Snape's Occlumency will be brought to its fullest.

It was necessary to resist Voldemort's Legilimency and not allow Voldemort to explore his true thoughts, but it was also necessary to leave no trace and not let him discover that he was maintaining Occlumency.

Relying on Voldemort's training, not even Dumbledore could match Snape in the Occlumency spell alone.

The Imperius Curse released by an ordinary wizard was not even qualified to stun him for a moment.

But even so, he still fell under the spell of an unknown stranger.

Dumbledore and Moody spent a lot of effort to reawaken Snape's consciousness, and based on his advice, they found a bottle of Buffy's Brain Refresher for him.

Bafe Brain Refresher can enhance the brain power of the drinker. Simply put, it makes people smarter and has better memory. It is a very rare medicine.

But the good thing here is Hogwarts,

Ravenclaw students like to use this potion to improve their efficiency when studying. Some students also like to be lazy and use Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion before exams.

However, entering the examination room after taking the potion is considered cheating in the wizarding world. The use of Buffy Refresher during exams is strictly prohibited, so every year on the eve of the exam, Snape would confiscate one or two bottles of Buffy Refresher that were not hidden by students.

agent.

Under Snape's guidance, Dumbledore found a bottle of Baffy's Awakening Potion from his office.

After taking the potion, Snape finally had the ability to fight against the force in his mind that had been trying to tamper with his thinking.

When Dumbledore faced Voldemort, Moody and McGonagall did not go with him.

Professor McGonagall was here to maintain order, while Moody was too busy fighting for the strange forces in the box and his mind to pay attention to the other Snape protectors.

Dumbledore asked the question he wanted to know most right now: "What happened."

Snape opened his eyes, his throat moved, and he licked his chapped lips. He stared at the empty quiet room in trance, trying to piece together the broken memories:

"After the first assessment and before the start of the Christmas ball, I went out to purchase gillyweed. However, the production of gillyweed is scarce and its uses are not wide. I looked for several herbal merchants I am familiar with but none found any."

"In the end we ended up at the Pig's Head Bar..." Snape paused unconsciously as he spoke, looking at Dumbledore's expression.

The owner of the Pig's Head pub, Aberforth Dumbledore, is Albus Dumbledore's younger brother, but the relationship between the two is very bad.

Seeing that Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged, Snape continued: "Where, I finally bought gillyweed from a smuggler."

"After leaving the Pig's Head Bar, a man stood in front of me and showed his Death Eater sign, saying that he wanted to see me."

Now that Voldemort has been resurrected, the fear of the past has once again enveloped the wizarding world.

Even Snape didn't dare to say his name easily. Voldemort set an incredible spell on his name. As long as someone called his name in England, he would feel it.

Although Snape agreed to Dumbledore and became an undercover agent hiding among the Death Eaters, he was still very afraid of Voldemort.

"That Death Eater was Barty Crouch Jr.. I was a little hesitant. I didn't know why that person suddenly wanted to find me in such a big way, but Barty Crouch Jr. grabbed my hand before I could agree.

, teleported to another place using the portkey."

"Then...then what happened, I can't remember clearly." Snape first covered his head, then hit his head with his hand, thinking hard about what happened after that day.

"I just remember seeing a hand exuding blue aura and pressing it on my forehead, and then I felt that my thoughts were distorted."

"Every word she said was for Lily's good. Only by doing everything she taught me can I help Lily."

Snape's words suddenly seemed a little erratic, like the murmur of a believer.

Dumbledore shouted: "Severus!"

Snape was shocked, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he woke up from the nightmare. He groaned in pain: "That power is still disturbing me. It is definitely not the Imperius Curse, but it is far more powerful than the Imperius Curse."

The soul curse is even more insidious and tricky."

Snape gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "This spell actually used my love for Lily as a breakthrough and almost made me break my promise to Lily."

"I will never let them go."

It didn't matter that Snape was framed, what he hated was that that person took advantage of the love of his life.

Snape's excellent Occlumency prevented the man's spell from being fully effective, so his subconscious still retained the impression of the man who attacked him.

She, is she? She is a woman.

But Dumbledore searched through his memories and never thought that there was a woman in Europe who could cast a spell similar to the Imperius Curse that even Snape could not resist.

"You should have a good rest first and don't leave Hogwarts recently. Voldemort is very likely to contact you again in the near future."

Snape was already exhausted and depressed by the spells in his mind. Naturally, he had no objection to Dumbledore's opinion. He nodded gently and fell back into meditation to clear away the remaining strange powers in his mind.
