The card draw starts in Azkaban

Duwei left the principal's office with the principal's robe. Severus Snape saw the clothes in the hands of "Professor Lupin" and replaced his words with his eyes.

But why would Du Wei care about these things?

He smiled and said goodbye to Snape.

The smile made Snape unspeakably uncomfortable.

He didn't forget that he promised Sirius that he would show Snape some color.

But, not now.

He left the principal's office, leaving behind Snape and the Phoenix. The Phoenix had grown up a bit this year, and Dumbledore also came out. When facing Snape, Dumbledore became much more serious.

Because he is telling the truth.

"Here's the thing," Dumbledore said to Snape: "Severus, I'm afraid I have to go out.

I'm going to see Horace Slughorn at his house and ask him something."

Snape listened quietly.

He said nothing and stared at Dumbledore.

He knew that when Dumbledore called him over alone, it was very likely that what he said next was related to the Dark Lord or Harry Potter.

Snape only cared about this.

He wants the Dark Lord to disappear.

He wanted Lily's son to live well.

That is Lily's only descendant of blood left in this world...

Things didn't surprise him.

What Dumbledore said was indeed related to Harry and the Dark Lord.

"Tom is smarter than I thought," said Dumbledore, "and his knowledge of the dark arts is far greater than mine.

I have to admit it, he is a true genius.

I always thought that after Tom graduated from Hogwarts, he developed rapidly in the dark arts when he was working in Borgin Bock's shop.

After all, you know, the owners of Bojinbok's shop, well, those guys, they are indeed quite skilled in the research of black magic.

But now it seems that I am still too conservative.

My brain is still too old and dusty, Severus, we all underestimated Tom and his genius.

Last year, the basilisk, Severus, do you remember? The secret room, the basilisk, and the notebook that seduced the little witch, these things gave me some different information."

Dumbledore kept pulling out memories and throwing them into the pensieve beside him. He explained to Snape, as if sorting out his reasoning process.

"We saw the destroyed notebook at the Basilisk's place. According to the little witch, it was that notebook that tempted her and told her to open the secret room.

At that time, I had doubts about this notebook. I suspected that the notebook was a creation of black magic, a creation of black magic specially left by Tom.

This is normal. Many of the Dark Lord's creations have the ability to confuse people's minds.

But I didn't think deeply about it.

Until this year, people outside were constantly tinkering with the return of Voldemort. I suddenly thought, what happened that night when Voldemort was in Godric's Hollow?

Harry, why did he survive?

What has he become?

Is that notebook also related to this matter?

I read a lot of books and corresponded with some old friends, and then I discovered something.

Hogwarts was created by four great wizards, whose names are now the names of the colleges.

The basilisk should be a creation left behind by Mr. Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin.

It's not hard to guess.

A dark wizard who speaks Parseltongue and breeds basilisks.

None other than Mr. Slytherin.

When I was the transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, Myrtle died from a basilisk. But at that time, someone cleverly transferred this disaster to Hagrid's head, and we didn't find out that that tragedy was actually Caused by a basilisk.

Looking back now, Myrtle's death is full of doubts.

If, I mean, if, it was at that time that Tom came into contact with black magic, that is, at that time, he began to study black magic. He got the inheritance of Mr. Salazar Slytherin and got the snake of Halbo. What about the way to raise monsters and how to make Horcruxes?"

Dumbledore looked into Snape's eyes and said: "If Tom Riddle was thirteen or fourteen years old, he could make Horcruxes, obtain the treasure of dark magic, and master Mr. Salaka Slytherin. Where is the young genius of the dark arts left behind?

What if my previous assumptions are wrong and Tom has been afraid of death since he was in school?

For such a genius, his method of maintaining life must be shocking enough.

He may have really accomplished a feat that no one has accomplished since ancient times. Severus, I need to find out whether Voldemort really created Horcruxes.

If he really made Horcruxes, then when did he start making Horcruxes.

How many more Horcruxes have been created?"

He told Snape his theory.

Snape said nothing about it.

He is also a genius, but compared to top geniuses like Dumbledore and Voldemort, he still lags behind.

After a while, he asked what he could do about it.

"If my guess is true."

Dumbledore looked at Snape majestically and said solemnly to him: "Then please keep an eye on Harry Potter when I leave school and pay attention to any abnormal behavior of Potter.

besides."

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said, "Be mentally prepared.

If Voldemort really created several Horcruxes.

Then his return is unstoppable."

Dumbledore left.

Snape walked out of the Headmaster's office numbly.

The words Dumbledore left before leaving were like a heavy weight, weighing heavily on Snape's heart, leaving him speechless for a long time.

What he said was, "If a person cannot truly live, then he cannot truly die, Severus.

So, train Harry Potter well, maybe one day in the future, he will have to deal with Voldemort himself.

Prepare for the worst.

When everyone who can stop Voldemort is dead, it's time for that child to go into battle himself."

Snape returned to the teachers' lounge with a sullen face.

In today's class, Professor Snape seemed particularly irritable. During class, Neville was so frightened by Professor Snape that his hands and feet trembled. The amount of cedar in his crucible exceeded the limit, causing the crucible to collapse. There was a strange odor coming out of it.

"Neville Longbottom!"

Snape, who was walking among the cauldrons, discovered this scene.

His voice frightened Neville so much that he was trembling and helpless. If Hermione hadn't quickly extinguished the flame under Neville's cauldron, the contents of the cauldron would have overflowed!

"You are such a hopeless fool!"

Snape strode up to Neville and reprimanded him loudly: "See clearly what I said to you, as well as the words written on the curtain in front of you. To refine the potion, what you need is

Accurate!

Magic potion is precise magic!

If you still act stupidly in my class, Neville Longbottom, then please get out of my class! Idiots are not welcome in my class!

Ten points from Gryffindor!"

He yelled loudly, feeling slightly out of control.

Harry Potter and Ron looked at him with hateful eyes.

Maybe it's not just Harry Potter and Ron.

The same goes for the rest of the Gryffindors.

Snape glanced at them expressionlessly.

Obviously, the looks from these students could not hurt the Potions teacher.

Snape didn't care about the attitude of these little wizards.

"Keep learning."

He ruthlessly swept through these people and continued his patrol.

The class passed quickly. Neville was trembling when he walked out of the classroom due to excessive mental stress.

He looked depressed and wanted to cry.

Next to him, several Slytherin students seemed to be planning to laugh at him. Hermione stood next to Neville, very angry. She wanted to stop these people, but those students were not afraid of her.

Until Harry Potter came over.

He glanced at these people just like Snape glanced at the students.

When these arrogant students saw Harry, they shut their mouths and left sourly.

The last time Harry achieved a one-on-three feat, it was still being circulated among the students. These Slytherin students were all people who had seen Harry do it with their own eyes.

They didn't want to experience Harry's dueling skills.

"It's okay, Neville."

Watching these annoying people leave, Ron put his arm on Neville's shoulders and comforted him in a low voice, "Snape is a nasty villain. Don't be so upset because of what happened today. He

I often torture other students like this."

Hermione was in no hurry to leave today.

She looked like she had something to say to Harry.

She pulled Harry to a corner and spoke to him.

"Did you see any of the third years in Slytherin today?

Malfoy didn't come to class, but Goyle and Crabbe came.

Do you know why?"

she said.

"Well, something may be wrong with Malfoy. He got scratched by Buckbeak again."

Harry was talking casually and absentmindedly.

"That's not the case!"

Hermione said with a serious face: "It's because Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy, was scratched by a werewolf! Harry, werewolves are extremely dangerous creatures, so I want you to..."

Before Hermione could finish her words, she saw Harry's face suddenly change from gloomy and unhappy to one of super excitement!

In other words, his entire face became illuminated and his skin spread out.

"professor!"

he shouted loudly.

Hermione's body suddenly tensed up.

She slowly turned her head and saw Professor Lupine walking in the distance, wearing new clothes.

Duwei looked at Harry who greeted him and smiled.

"Hello, Harry, long time no see."

He walked over, and Hermione subconsciously took a few steps back. Duwei watched her movements thoughtfully.

But he pretended not to know.

"Have you finished class, Harry? Are there any classes in the morning?"

"No, no, professor, are you healed?"

Harry said excitedly.

Looking at the excited Harry, for some reason, Duwei felt that Harry was like a puppy who had been at home for a long time and suddenly saw the door open.

Like he was suffocated.

He took out Honeydukes chocolate from his clothes.

It has to be said that money is easy to make for children, and Honeydukes candies are all incredibly expensive.

He handed Harry a Dancing Fruit Chocolate Lollipop and gave another to Hermione.

"No, I don't need to. Thank you, Professor."

Hermione looked very hesitant. She seemed to have something to say to "Professor Lupin", but because Harry was nearby, she couldn't say it.

Duwei took a deep look at Hermione and said to Harry: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, kid. This is an old problem of mine. I just suppressed it temporarily."

He saw Neville and Ron sobbing in the distance, and squatted down, telling himself to stay as tall as these half-grown children.

He waved the two children over. Looking at the two children walking over, he touched Neville's head and said, "What's the matter, Neville?"

Handing Ron a large piece of chocolate, he asked Neville what happened. Ron angrily told "Professor Lupin" everything Snape did in class.

Duwei had no intention of Ron, but after Ron finished speaking, he corrected him and said: "Call him Professor Snape."

Ron was so angry that the freckles on his face turned red.

"He doesn't deserve to be a professor!"

Ron said confidently.

Du Wei smiled and said, "He is a good teacher."

Ron was obviously unconvinced, but Duwei didn't force Ron to do anything. He squatted on the ground and thought for a while, and said to Harry: "Come to the teachers' lounge to find me tonight, Harry, our training class is about to start again.

.

Are you ready?

But tonight, please come to me with Neville first, okay?

Neville, would you like to come to me?"

Neville didn't know what was happening.

He was still sobbing from time to time, and Du Wei wiped away his tears and constantly comforted him.

"It's okay, kid, you're not as bad as others think.

You are a Gryffindor, kid, be brave, okay?

You should be a brave little lion."
