Chapter 961 [Chapter 5] 46
Snape crawled out of the secret passage, and it was no surprise that the exit of the secret passage was the Room of Requirement—the place where the so-called small trolls of the DA Army hide and gather.Although he knew before that there was a secret passage leading to Hogsmeade in Hogwarts, he didn't want to know why the fake Lily knew about this kind of place in advance, but kept his mouth shut from beginning to end, not even telling him.
At this moment, the room was empty, and the little trolls who had planned to fight the Dark Lord with only their bravery and recklessness had long since disappeared.He guessed they must be scattered all over the castle, planning to fight the mighty Dark Lord to the end.
He was about to walk out when he realized that walking around Hogwarts like this was too conspicuous.Although that fake Lily had hinted to him that his reputation should have been cleared by now, but he didn't know how many people knew about it.In order to avoid some unnecessary and time-wasting troubles, he added a disillusionment spell to himself before pushing the door open.
There was chaos in the corridor outside the door.The students were running around in disorder, with abnormal expressions of nervousness, panic, or excitement on their faces.The stone statues in the corridor disappeared, Snape raised his eyebrows slightly.
He walked carefully along the corner, always paying attention to avoiding the oncoming crowd.He guessed that after he left Hogwarts, the leader here should have become Minerva McGonagall.That fake Lily must have convinced her somehow, so he'd better find her first.
After all, it is not so convenient to walk under the spell of disillusionment. After thinking about it, he went to the principal's office first.
Minerva McGonagall must have cast the Stone Pillar spell.he thinks.Because even the huge ugly drip-shaped stone monster guarding the door of the principal's office was gone.
Well, maybe that's just providing him with a little convenience.
Snape first observed the surroundings, and quickly pushed open the door of the principal's office when he found the right moment. He was not surprised to see the Pensieve placed in the middle of the table, and the silver-white memories in the basin swirled around, reflecting a beautiful light.
He hesitated for a moment to take a look, but he didn't have that much time to waste.Resisting the temptation of the Pensieve, he walked to the table, bent down and opened a drawer, took out one from the bottles and jars inside, opened the bottle cap, and then groped for a gray hair from his pocket. , Throw it into that crystal bottle.
When he dragged Aberforth Dumbledore upstairs just now, he considered that he might need to use compound potion after returning to school, so when Aberforth was not paying attention, he looked ashamed. He touched a strand of his hair quietly on the flapping robe.He drank the Polyjuice Potion in the bottle, and sure enough, he immediately turned into Aberforth Dumbledore.
He went out and closed the door of the principal's office again.
Aberforth's face was unobstructed in Hogwarts, and some Gryffindor trolls greeted him warmly.He really couldn't figure out when the old stubborn got on the line with these trouble-loving little trolls.
He impatiently dealt with the little trolls all the way. Fortunately, Aberforth's temper was not much better than his, and he was also eccentric, weird, and out of gregarious, so he didn't show any signs. Outside the auditorium, we successfully found Minerva McGonagall, who was busy directing everyone to garrison various parts of the castle.
He went up to greet her.Professor McGonagall turned around, and when he saw his Aberforth face, he was very happy, and immediately wanted to assign him a task.
He wasn't sure whether the fake Lily had really been cleared up for him by Professor McGonagall, so he tentatively said, "Uh, I heard something... that Snape... er, villain —Did you really run away?”
douchebag.That's what the old stubborn said about him.After he stepped into the secret passage leading to Hogwarts.He snorted coldly in his heart, all Dumbledores are equally difficult!Except that Miss Dumbledore in the frame looks good talking!Merlin knew that if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't know how much time he would have wasted in the Pig's Head Bar tonight!
He expected to see the exact same look of anger and contempt on Professor McGonagall's face that he had seen earlier when he had confronted her in the Great Hall.However, he guessed wrong.
A sad and guilty expression appeared on Professor McGonagall's face, and his blue eyes were also full of apology, and he whispered, "Aberforth, don't say that about Severus. We all misunderstood him..."
Snape couldn't help exhaling from his nose.
oh?So that fake Lily actually helped him clear his reputation in front of Professor McGonagall?How did she do it?Use that Pensieve in the principal's room?What did she tell Professor McGonagall that made the head of Gryffindor, who had always been so fair, mention him so sadly?
He replied calmly, "...I don't know what else we could do wrong with a Death Eater. He killed Albus! And let those scoundrels abuse these kids! Now he's running off like a coward Now, go to his master...Maybe we will see him here again in a while, and do bad things with those lunatics!..."
Professor McGonagall interrupted his diatribe very loudly. "Aberforth! I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but it's not fair to blame Severus like this before knowing the truth! He's always been a member of the Order of the Phoenix..."
Snape interrupted her with a bit of malice, "Yeah, the Order member who killed Albus. I wonder how many people here now believe he's not such a bad guy."
Professor McGonagall blushed and said loudly, "We already know! The people of the Order...and the professors! I've told them everything I saw in the Pensieve, about Albus A secret mission for him... Aberforth, Albus did voluntarily let Severus kill him to gain Voldemort's trust! Severus was reluctant at first, but Albus forced him to He made a promise... He didn't leave Hogwarts voluntarily! It was Voldemort who summoned him, and he wanted to continue lurking among the Death Eaters to listen to us... Lily told me all this! Albus Several times during secret conversations with Severus, Lily hid aside; she saw everything! I believed Lily! I believed Albus! Since they both trusted Severus, I think...we suspect He was wrong—"
Snape suddenly felt he couldn't listen anymore.
That fake Lily really wove a long story for these people, he thought with a little sarcasm and self-mockery.
She has always been a master storyteller.But he never thought that sometimes when that old bee was threatening him to do things again, she would actually hide in the principal's office and peep!He didn't even notice it once!It must have been planned by that old bee!
Look what she said.She wove a phantom of a tall and righteous hero, willing to sacrifice and dedicate under the misunderstanding of the world, so noble that it made him sick.
He frowned and decided not to pretend anymore.He didn't want to last the entire fight on Polyjuice Potion, especially when he had only one hair of Aberforth's hair here, and he'd just used it up.
He waved his wand and cast a Silencing Charm around him before saying quickly, "...Listen, I'm Snape. I used Polyjuice Potion."
Professor McGonagall looked so surprised that his eyebrows were pulled in his hair.She let out a gasp, staring at his Aberforth face in disbelief.
"Severus?! You... are you really Severus?! Why did you come back suddenly?! Because of your promise to Albus?"
Snape's brow furrowed even tighter. "promise?"
Professor McGonagall nodded, "Lily showed me that memory. Albus made you swear in the headmaster's office to preserve and rebuild Hogwarts... Oh, Severus! Why didn't Albus Tell me? I'm sorry I misunderstood you!..."
Snape stopped her apology, "No, it's okay... I asked Albus not to say it. I think the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. After all, I still need to get..." Those people ' trust." He paused, thinking uncontrollably of that night at Spider's End, when the fake Lily forced him to repeat his oath to Dumbledore.Many things happened that night, which are still very clear in his memory——
Professor McGonagall looked at him apologetically, "Oh, Severus..." She didn't seem to know what to say, but she quickly remembered a name, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Lily? She was taken by Death Eaters! Didn't she come back with you?"
Snape choked.The whereabouts of that fake Lily was his hidden worry, a thorn in his heart all the time.Just because he chose to return to Hogwarts to defend the school didn't mean he would forget that the woman's life and death were now in doubt.But he couldn't explain how all this happened and how it came to this point; he could only answer briefly with difficulty: "Lily... the Dark Lord wants his snake to kill her, take her and the The snake was locked in a room...I...I couldn't save her...but when I went in to look, she and the snake were gone! I don't know where she and the snake went... The Dark Lord ordered me to find them, but I have no clue..."
Professor McGonagall let out a soft cry.She looked terribly distressed, and looked at him with sorrowful and pitiful eyes.She asked softly: "...So, is she dead?"
