The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Severus Snape glanced at Dumbledore in surprise.

Obviously, the smoothness of this operation was somewhat beyond his expectations!

I thought it would take a hard fight to subdue the opponent. After all, Slughorn is a very good old wizard; Telling the truth is also a very difficult thing.

After only ten seconds of hesitation, the clinker decisively chose to surrender and told all the "truths".

And Albus Dumbledore didn't seem too surprised.

"So what was Tom's mission for you to come to Hogwarts, Horace?" he asked.

"There is only one mission... and that is to kill you!" Slughorn shrugged: "There is also a Hogwarts teacher and a student who have also received this mission, but I don't know for the time being whether they are Who, the Dark Lord didn't reveal their identities to me."

"That's really funny, isn't it?" Dumbledore smiled.

"...I also had to make a small experiment, the bottle of oak-aged mead that I gave you just before Christmas, Madame Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks gave it to me, she looked It's under the Imperius Curse."

While talking, Slughorn quickly added: "Of course, such a clumsy way will definitely not hurt you. I have great confidence in you, Albus. In a sense, I am warning you , Albus, lest you be careless..."

"I have to mention poor Sybil, who has never been able to resist such a fine quality mead; during a visit to my office to complain, I temporarily left due to a student looking for me After a short while in the office, she suddenly secretly opened your bottle of wine and took a sip..." Dumbledore said regretfully.

"Poor Professor Trelawney!" Slughorn also lamented, and suddenly his face changed: "Wait, does this mean... I need to be responsible for her poisoning?"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded: "Attempted murder, although the circumstances are not serious, the confession is quite decisive... But going to Azkaban to stay for a year or so is still unavoidable!"

"Oh, Azkaban." Slughorn couldn't help shivering: "Are you kidding, Albus...my old friend..."

"Perhaps." Dumbledore said playfully, "Is there anything else you want to say, Horace?"

"But it's really gone..." Slughorn seemed a little impatient to argue: "The Dark Lord knows about our relationship, he wouldn't trust me unreservedly... If it wasn't for the shortage of personnel under his command, He wouldn't let me come to Hogwarts either."

"...He just asked me all the information about the boy named 'Jon Hart' in detail, and threatened me to accept this task. Of course, I must be just a cover. If he really wants to attack you, There must be other options!"

"I agree with this." Albus Dumbledore walked up to Slughorn and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I believe you, you shouldn't have told a single lie."

Slughorn looked relieved.

"Then how do we know which side you are on, Slughorn?" Severus Snape, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "You are on the side of the Dark Lord." , or on our side?"

"Of course we'll be on your side!" Slughorn said excitedly, "I was just coerced by the Dark Lord, and I had no choice in that situation, Dumbledore! He was once my Student, I know how powerful he is, and I want to live for another few decades..."

"Then how do we know that you won't betray us again and join the Dark Lord?" Snape said coldly, raising his wand a few centimeters.

"Calm down, Severus...please keep calm!" Slughorn gasped heavily: "You know, when St. Mungo was recuperating, the Dark Lord sent someone to look for me, but I But I resolutely chose to return to Hogwarts... In fact, before Halloween, after I heard that Nurmengard's tower had collapsed, I completely abandoned the Dark Lord from the bottom of my heart..."

"What does this have to do with Nurmengard Tower?" Snape couldn't help frowning.

"Severus, you are still too young." Slughorn shook his head: "Of course, there are very few people in our generation, and few people who really understand that matter ... I also rely on guessing, guessing a little bit of clues."

As he spoke, Slughorn winked at Dumbledore.

"I am one of the few people who has seen the horror of the demon king who once ruled Europe, and is still alive!" Slughorn's face gradually became serious: "Although I was still young at the time. "

"But since he was willing to bind himself to that tower back then, he would not interfere with any worldly affairs for fifty years... It is impossible to escape from there for no reason fifty years later... This must be your plan, huh? think?"

Albus Dumbledore didn't answer, neither confirming nor denying.

"Especially at Christmas, after the news that Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix were suddenly attacked... I confirmed this even more." Slughorn said extremely seriously: "Of course, this matter I didn't tell anyone, not even the Dark Lord... I could even make an unbreakable oath right now!"

"Then why don't you take the initiative to surrender to Dumbledore and explain everything?" Snape was stunned, and finally asked.

"There's always a little bit of luck, right?" Slughorn asked rhetorically.

He also looked at Dumbledore one last time: "Is this the end of today's interrogation, Albus?"

"Of course, I think it's over." Albus Dumbledore tucked his wand back into his waist.

"So when will the Aurors and the dementors who are still loyal to the Ministry of Magic come over? When will I go to Azkaban?" Slughorn asked earnestly: "I think you will definitely Will intercede for me, right?"

"Probably!" Dumbledore replied somewhat perfunctorily, "But your time to go to Azkaban may have to be delayed for a few days."

"Oh?" Slughorn gave him a surprised look.

"There will be a small accident in Azkaban tonight. For the specific situation, you should read the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning!" Dumbledore said calmly: "Also, Severus...is in trouble You rest with Horace tonight!"
