Chapter 239 Torn (4)
"Why—why did you agree with him to be this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher—I have never been able to figure it out..." Jane grabbed her sleeves vigorously to keep her voice as calm as ever, instead of Looks too bad, "I think you know very well what a curse this position is...no one can last a year..."
"Yes, I know very well." Dumbledore stared at the girl in front of him, he could clearly see the pain and uneasiness hidden in her eyes, her hands were tightly clutching his robe, and the clothes were crumpled by her.Dumbledore didn't doubt that Snape had occupied too much of an important place in her heart, but some things were bound to be higher than personal emotions, "But I want you to rest assured that in this year, Snape Fleurs will not be harmed in any way, and I will keep him safe."
"Guarantee?" Jane smiled wryly, "What kind of guarantee do you use? Professor, you can't even save yourself, so how can you guarantee Snape's safety?" Only on his left hand, "If it was before, I might still be able to help you, but I lost my wand, and I can't do anything. And you will die at any time, and the breath of death haunts you. I don't think you will die in two years. Will take his own life from the wound in your left hand. What are you talking about protecting Snape!"
"Indeed, I think this can be hidden from others, but it can't be hidden from you." Dumbledore said frankly, he didn't seem to be afraid of death at all, and he looked as relaxed as ever, "But please believe me, even if I Can't live long, I'll still keep our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor safe, I swear to you."
Jane closed her eyes, not wanting to look into Dumbledore's stubborn, sincere blue eyes.She supported her forehead with her hands in pain and effort, and leaned on the armchair: "Now I can't stop him. We had a fight before, and he doesn't need me anymore—"
"Oh, no, Jane, that might just be a worry of his—he's never wanted to involve you in these things, and it's dangerous," Dumbledore said, "Of course, it's just as well that Severus could do that." A good thing for you—and perhaps you don't know it, now that Voldemort has begun to investigate your identity, and what happened in the Department of Mysteries has interested him—you and your wand."
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Jane remembered the conversation she had with Snape in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and Snape seemed to be talking about her wand as well.Jane opened her eyes, and what she saw was the wool carpet in Dumbledore's office, with golden and red patterns on it.She seemed to be attracted by those strange patterns, staring at them blankly.Then, she asked, "The mysterious man wants to get that magic wand?"
"Maybe so, it's not clear yet, but I think if your house on Manila Road didn't have a super high defensive magic, your house might have become the residence of Voldemort and his Death Eaters." Dumbledore said , "I think you may not know it, but during the month you were in New York, four or five groups of Death Eaters visited Manila Road. They couldn't get into your house, but they destroyed the surrounding buildings."
"You mean the Broaddell Bridge!" Jane reacted immediately, and her originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became much clearer, "Voldemort wants to find me!"
"Yes, so Severus must keep a distance from you, an absolute distance, which is good for both of you, at least I think you don't want Severus to be caught with you then." Dumbledore said, "If one day you are caught by Voldemort, at least Severus will help you escape."
"But—" Jane thought of the conversation between the two in the classroom before, her heart seemed to be pinched and wrinkled tightly.Although she has already understood the crisis that the two of them will face, and more importantly, she has lost her wand, lacked the power she had before, and may not be able to protect herself as well as before, but she still cannot accept Snape's treatment She said things like that.Jane pressed her lips tightly, her whole face was still bloodless, she looked haggard and devastated, "But...he didn't need to say that to me, he knew it would be a kind of harm to me."
"But I think this kind of injury is necessary," said Dumbledore, looking at her.
Jane looked up at Dumbledore: "I don't understand what you mean, Professor."
Dumbledore was not in a hurry to explain, he turned his head and said to the portraits on the wall: "Forsk, I would like to trouble you to inform Horace, I think Jane Jean's first potion class cannot be attended in time. "
In a row of portraits hanging on the wall, a chubby old man with a red nose shouted unhappily: "Why must it be me?"
Although he protested against Dumbledore's arrangement, he still did as Dumbledore said.He quickly disappeared into the frame, and the rest of the portraits were still looking at Jane and Dumbledore in the office with great interest.
"Okay, then I think I have to explain why Severus did it." Dumbledore took off his half-moon eyes, rubbed them, and put them back on.He took a deep breath and looked at Jane very seriously, "I think you already know that Voldemort has been looking for you everywhere, but it is still safe to stay at Hogwarts now. But even if we do Even with all-out defense, there is no guarantee that mistakes will occur, so we must modify your memory before you are caught by Voldemort one day."
"Modify my memory?" Jane's eyes widened in surprise, and she didn't realize what happened for a while.
"Jane, I think this is for your responsibility, even for the safety of Severus." Dumbledore said seriously, "I think you must know that there is a magic called Legilimency." Jane nodded , Dumbledore continued, "You have too many secrets about you, about heaven, about hell, and even about your hometown. Of course, it also includes the biggest secret of Severus - a double agent. And Voldemort is the most The magic he is proud of is his Legilimency. He can silently read the thoughts of everyone, except for the masters of Occlumency. But Occlumency is a profound knowledge, and it takes a day or two to practice it. ——I think you have seen it in Harry last year. I am very disappointed about this, and I am sorry for Harry. He has not learned to close his brain so far. So in order to prevent these critical Before the secret is revealed to Voldemort, I must modify part of your memory." Dumbledore paused, and then said, "This includes your origin, your identity...of course, you and Severer The love between you and Sri Lanka—but I only deal with the important part, and seal up all your previous memories. After a period of time, the magic I left in your mind will be released naturally, and it will not have any effect on you. Influence, it's just a means to protect you and Severus."
