Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 76 Watch out for Snape, okay?

Did Dumbledore trust Snape?

This is a difficult question to determine. Even Voldemort, the traveler who has studied HP, cannot give a 100% accurate answer.

Lao Deng is a very assertive manipulator. From his appearance to the end of the curtain, he showed the image of a strategist with wisdom in his hands - including his death, which was also premeditated.

But to say that he trusts people...but he has a bit of isolation, just like this year, he rarely had close contact with Harry, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance.

But if he doesn't trust anyone...even in the face of a [-]-year-old boy like Snape, he has shown extreme trust, and can even entrust his life to death.

Such Dumbledore made it extremely difficult for Voldemort to judge where his trust points were, but fortunately, it was not completely untraceable.

For example, now, Voldemort felt that Lao Deng should not have fully trusted Snape, at least he should not have said the phrase "Pay attention to Quirrell, please".

The reason why he dared to be so sure was because he hid deep enough and faced Dumbledore's temptations again and again...

The Gringotts theft...

Daily life performance...

Check out the Patronus at the training ground...

In these incidents, not to mention his perfect performance, at least he did not leave enough clues to determine his identity.

In this case, Dumbledore's doubts about himself and Snape could only be divided between six and four, if not fifty-fifty.

After all, Snape was a real Death Eater, and the timing of his rebellion was also a big problem - he only rebelled after his downfall.

Such behavior, as long as Dumbledore is not mentally retarded, he will not immediately trust him.

Of course, Snape's Patronus seemed to prove that he was a good man, but if he thought about it that way, he would distort the definition of a good man.

Well-dressed, he may beat and scold his parents, he may have tattoos all over his body, he may often kneel in front of the hall, Du Shiniang is angry with love and sinks a treasure chest, who can tell that Jiyu, who has the word righteousness in his head, is a "loyal minister"?
Snape's Patronus could only prove his love for Lily, nothing else could be proved.

How can the old bee who has gone through vicissitudes of life not see all this clearly.

Therefore, when everyone stopped, Voldemort noticed that Old Deng looked at Snape with a different color.

"There may be a misunderstanding here."

Dumbledore whispered, and waved his wand to restore the corridor to its original state - his eyes glanced into the distance, and saw the movement of young Malfoy retracting his wand.

Voldemort also saw this scene, and he praised Malfoy in his heart. Whether he was intentional or not, he had contributed to discrediting Snape.

"I asked Snape to check here. I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to act. Okay, let's go."

Between the understatement of the words, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

Snape also kept his usual black face, glared at everyone, and left with a limp.

Did you really instigate it... Voldemort was full of doubts.

"Professor McGonagall, I need to trouble you to put the troll in. Quirrell is going to come with me. I have some questions to ask him." Dumbledore said.

Voldemort's heart tightened, but he nodded calmly, and followed Dumbledore to the eighth floor.

"They saw it too, didn't they?" asked Dumbledore as they passed the trio.

"Yes, principal, they happen to be with me."

"Let's go together, I have toffee in my office."

At Dumbledore's invitation, Voldemort and the trio followed him to the headmaster's office. Ron was a little excited, and Harry and Hermione were a little better.

After entering the office, Dumbledore, who was walking in front, waved his wand first, and a pile of messy papers on the desk were gathered together and inserted into the bookshelf.

"Have a cup of hot chocolate. The sweetness can restore strength and self-confidence." He smiled and served drinks to several people, and made chairs for them to sit down.

"Tell the story, children, and don't be afraid," he said again.

Voldemort looked at Hermione, motioning for her to speak.

"Because of some conflicts with Ron, I hid in the toilet and cried during dinner, and then suddenly heard a strange noise, and a giant monster appeared..."

"Troll? What's going on?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Quirrell.

"It was the curse of the Dark Magic, which attacked me and made me temporarily unconscious..." After Voldemort finished speaking, he looked at the trio hesitantly.

Dumbledore waved his wand, and for a split second the trio was deaf.

"I felt malice, malice towards Muggles." Voldemort fabricated a lie. "At that moment, I seemed to be driven to order the troll to kill Hermione."

Dumbledore frowned, and murmured: "It should be a curse with confusion and directional curses. It has become stronger and clearer, probably because it has something to do with his coming here."

"He's here?" Voldemort said in shock.

He was really shocked because he didn't know how Dumbledore was sure he was here.

"The castle told me." Dumbledore said, "Okay, let's continue listening to the children."

He waved his wand again, and Voldemort found that Hermione was still talking and didn't stop because of the conversation between the two, and the other two in the trio didn't notice everything just now.

Fantastic magic, Voldemort didn't know what Dumbledore used.

"I asked Snape to go." Dumbledore emphasized again, "But the three of you have done a good job, and Quirrell is also very good. You must want to protect the students, right?"

"I couldn't beat him. I found out about that day in the restaurant, so I let them go because I didn't know..."

Voldemort didn't go on, but the meaning was clear - he didn't know if Snape would brutally kill the children.

"Professors should protect their students like they protect their own children, and you are doing a great job."

After he finished speaking to Voldemort, he said to the three of them, "The hot chocolate is delicious, you can take it away, and if you want to drink it later, you can come to me."

Tactfully asking the trio to leave, Harry and Ron still nodded foolishly, Hermione had already got up to leave, and Harry and Ron left together belatedly.

"I must say again, you did a great job, Quirrell."

After the trio left, Dumbledore rubbed his head in pain, "But my thinking is a little confused, I have to ask you a question, which requires you to think carefully and judge."

"Say, Headmaster, I will answer seriously," said Voldemort.

"Is it Snape? Do you think it's him?" Dumbledore didn't look up, but his words were very serious.

Voldemort didn't know what to say after a moment of astonishment.

Of course he knew it wasn't, but he must be a fool if he said no.

He didn't dare to say yes, because the werewolf jumped the police, and if he couldn't do it well, he would be voted by the people.

He had to be cautious, the problem was that Dumbledore was still waiting for his answer.

"It's hard to judge?" Dumbledore raised his head in surprise, "I thought you would say it was him."

"I don't know, Headmaster." Voldemort said with a bitter face, "This matter is too important. If I guess randomly... Dean Flitwick will kill me if he finds out."

Dumbledore suddenly laughed, and he said, "Yes, you are still a child, this is too embarrassing for you."

Voldemort shrugged helplessly, and Dumbledore let him go after a few more chats with him.

Just as he was about to go down the spiral staircase, Dumbledore's voice came from behind.

"Keep an eye on Snape, will you?"

If it weren't for the calmness brought by Voldemort's remnant soul, Voldemort probably would have stumbled and rolled down the stairs in surprise.

You should have said this to Snape...

"Understood, principal, I will."

After the words fell, Voldemort left without looking back.

It's messed up, the world is completely messed up by him.
