Chapter 1253 The truth is so cruel (2)
"So, it was Snape who eavesdropped on the prophecy back then, and Snape told Voldemort the news of the prophecy, which caused Voldemort to chase and kill my family." Harry widened his eyes in shock and murmured.
Dumbledore never told him about it, no, Dumbledore dared not, he dared not tell himself such things.
"Harry, are you okay?"
Harry's pale face made Hermione feel worried and frightened.
"But he, why did Snape trust Dumbledore in the end?" Ron was even more puzzled, "It's unusual, isn't it? I mean Dumbledore actually trusted Snape Nonsense, I don't believe that Dumbledore didn't know about this, he..."
"You can listen to this incident as a story. After all, I only conjecture more about this incident." Albert raised his wand, waved it lightly, and created several steaming cups milk tea. He picked up a cup, took a sip, and began to tell the story he knew: "Snape's mother is Irene Prince, a pure-blood descendant of the Prince family, and I remember that she left a copy of "High Magic Potion Making" is a very gifted potion genius. Snape should have inherited this book later. His talent in potions largely came from his mother's inheritance. Of course, he himself also inherited this book. Talent, I remember that "Advanced Potion Making" should still be at Hogwarts."
"It should be your "Advanced Potion Making"." Hermione turned to look at Harry and said, "The Half-Blood Prince should refer to Snape."
"What a disgusting title," said Harry in disgust.
"Do you have any fancy name?" Ron tried to change the subject.
"Do you think I need to give myself a new name that is powerful enough?" Albert curled his lips in disdain and said, "And don't change the topic, your time is limited."
"What does this have to do with what you said?" Hermione brought the topic back.
"Snape obviously did not enjoy the benefits brought by pure-blood wizards. His father was just a Muggle, which also means that Snape came from the Muggle world, although he should know that he is a wizard." Burt continued, "And Snape hates you because of your father. Believe me, this reason is definitely not the same as your relationship with Malfoy, otherwise this hatred will never spread to you body."
"You're right, maybe I hate Malfoy, but I don't hate his son so much." In fact, Harry always felt that Snape's hostility towards him was unreasonable.
"The only possibility comes from your mother, Lily Evans." Albert suddenly broke out an astonishing revelation, "Snape probably liked your mother, they even from a very young age Just know each other, the kind with a good relationship."
Under the stunned expressions of the three of Harry, Albert said unhurriedly, "Only being robbed of his lover can make Snape have such an unforgettable hatred for James Potter, even It affects you, and only this possibility, Dumbledore will accept Snape, because Dumbledore believes in the so-called love, I think you should have heard of Dumbledore's theory of love!"
"But why did Snape tell Voldemort the prophecy?" Harry asked puzzledly: "I think he must know...the consequences of doing that!"
"Harry, you can actually change your mind." Albert said meaningfully.
"Another way of thinking?"
"Snape will probably beg him to spare Lily after telling the prophecy to the mysterious man. I think there is a high probability that the mysterious man will agree to Snape's humble plea." Albert raised his hand towards the three of them. Yi Tan: "In this way, Lily Potter will become a human again after losing her son and husband, and Snape will get his wish."
"He really makes me sick."
Harry was silent for a moment, with a disgusted expression on his face, he never thought that things would be like this from the very beginning.
Albert's words seemed to let him see the truth of the whole incident back then. He only needed a little time to be verified by Sirius and Lupine.
"Yeah, I think so too." Albert nodded and smiled, "But it's very Slytherin, isn't it? You can do anything to achieve your goal."
"But my mother is still dead, killed by a mysterious person!"
"The mysterious man has never been a boss who is good at listening to his subordinates' opinions. At least he doesn't care about these problems. Otherwise, if he only stuns your mother, he can completely avoid many subsequent things from happening." After taking a sip of milk tea, he laughed at himself: "He did it to himself, and it also caused Snape to fall for Dumbledore."
"Snape wants revenge?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"I think there is some meaning to this. He is taking revenge on the mysterious man in his own way." Albert said meaningfully: "Of course, I don't deny that Snape is a very infatuated person. As for my As for how credible the speculation is, you can take the time to find Sirius and Lupine to verify it, I think they, as good friends of your father, should know the situation better than most people.”
"How do you know so many things?" Hermione couldn't help asking, she felt that Albert might be telling more than just stories.
"A story pieced together from news sources, as for how much of it is true, you can judge for yourself. Of course, you can also listen to it as a story, and don't take it seriously. As for whether Snape is still trustworthy, I will I think you should have your own judgments," Albert smiled and put down the teacup, stood up from the sofa, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and reminded, "Okay, I think we should go to Dumbledore's funeral .”
"You still haven't said why Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him!" Harry quickly stretched out his hand to hold Albert, fearing that the other party would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Of course it is to pave the way for you to defeat the You-Know-Who, saving Malfoy and Snape is just incidental." Albert stopped, turned his head and said, "However, what he did was a mess for Scrimgeour, It also pitted those who were willing to believe in him."
"How much do you think Albert's words are true?"
Looking at Albert's leaving back, Harry asked Hermione sideways.
"I don't know, this is really incredible." Hermione shook her head and said, "If what Albert said is true, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do? How would I know what to do!" Harry said with a helpless smile, "I still don't think Snape can be trusted, even if he killed Dumbledore under his own signal, still not We are willing to believe in him, and we don’t want to care about what he wants to do, as long as we do our own thing well.”
"Let's go, the funeral is about to begin, so don't be late!" Ron reminded.
Dumbledore's funeral was by the Black Lake, where hundreds of chairs had been placed, and most of the chairs were filled with people of all kinds and fish and dragons. Ragged and neat, old and young, they were whispering and whispering.
When Albert passed, almost no one noticed him.
"Scrimgeour is looking for you!" Lee Jordan appeared out of nowhere.
Albert pulled a chair and sat down, shook his head and said, "I can't help him much anymore."
"Mr. Minister will be very sad if he hears this." Lee Jordan couldn't help feeling sad for Scrimgeour, he knew that Albert had given up on Scrimgeour.
"Then what should we do next?" Shanna asked directly.
After Dumbledore's death, many things have changed, perhaps as Albert had expected: the worst era has come.
"What to do?" Albert said softly, "You should first train your own dueling skills to ensure your own safety. Then, if you can, help those who need help. Next, the entire UK I am afraid that life in the magic world will not be easy."
"Maybe, you can lead the team." Lee Jordan said suddenly, "Everyone was very excited about the last operation."
"You can't expect to encounter such a good thing every time. War is a very cruel thing." Albert shook his head and said, "If you take it too lightly, you will pay the price sooner or later."
"I think everyone needs you to lead them to move forward, especially at this time, it is very important to have a reliable pillar to rely on." Shanna reminded kindly, she felt that as long as Albert was around, the defense Association will not be a problem.
"But you can't rely on me for everything." Albert shook his head.
At this moment, there was a small piece of commotion among the crowd, because a elegiac song suddenly sounded around the Black Lake. When everyone was looking for the source of the singing, they found a chorus of murlocs poking their heads out of the lake and singing.
That is the murlocs expressing their memory and condolences to Dumbledore.
The centaurs also appeared collectively on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, watching this side quietly, and silently bid farewell to Dumbledore in their own way.
After the little man on the stage finished his burial speech, a dazzling white flame shot up around Dumbledore's body and the table. And the table where the body was placed are all wrapped in it.
After the funeral, Albert was still blocked by Scrimgeour.
"You know, I need your help." Scrimgeour seemed extremely annoyed at Albert's recklessness.
"Is this the last struggle?"
Albert asked back, but he didn't care about Scrimgeour's tone and attitude at all.
"Maybe!"
"Actually, you should return to the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible. I think you will soon receive news that the mysterious man has controlled Azkaban and released the prisoners inside." Albert reminded kindly.
"Why did you tell me now."
Scrumgeour fixed his eyes on Albert.
"Because it's meaningless, even if you know it in advance, it's meaningless. The mysterious man won't fight you hard. He will release the prisoners of Azkaban after all. And now, at least no one will What are you to blame, after all, there is no way to do it, who made the mysterious man so cunning!" Albert said meaningfully.
"Then I really appreciate you giving me an excuse." Scrimgeour said angrily.
"You're welcome!"
Scremgeour choked on Albert's words.
"This is your last chance." Albert said calmly, "If you can't make up your mind, leave the choice to others. After all, you have tried your best!"
"Did you know this would happen from the very beginning?" Scrimgeour asked suddenly, "Can Harry Potter really defeat the You-Know-Who?"
"That's Potter's fate." Albert said softly.
"Damn it, I know you don't believe in that stuff." Scrimgeour took a deep look at Albert, sighed and said, "It seems that you and Dumbledore have found a solution to this war once and for all but you don't want to tell us."
"For this kind of problem, you have to go to Dumbledore, he cheated you."
"So, I hate that old guy."
"He actually hates you too~IndoMTL.com~By the way, I actually really hate politicians, none of us can convince anyone, so in the end, whoever is not strong enough will deserve to be reduced to bad luck "Albert said calmly, "And you should thank me for not lying to you, and thank me for saving you a way out."
"Then I should really thank you**"
Scrumgeour walked away in a huff.
"What did the Minister want you for?" George asked.
"He is not reconciled, and wants to give it a go." Albert shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Dumbledore tricked him, leaving him with no extra time."
"So, you gave up on him?"
"Give up, it's not counted. From the beginning, we are just a cooperative relationship. Now I just remind him that his death is approaching." Albert turned to look at George and said, "If you want to survive, run away as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid he won't do that." George said, watching Scrimgeour leave.
"Yeah, I know."
