HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Oh, by the way, I remembered something about little Barty."

After all, Barty Jr. is a hidden danger, so we must nip it in the bud while we can still control it.

"It's impossible to say this in front of Dumbledore without evidence, but Quidditch is a good time."

Cutting off those arms would at least keep Voldemort out of the Albanian forest for a while, if not two or three years of peace.

After all, if you want Voldemort to disappear completely, you must destroy all the Horcruxes, but in order to destroy all the Horcruxes including Potter's, you must resurrect Voldemort. You have to kill him but you can't kill him directly. The reasons are so complicated. Should I say it or not, is this the tortuous and bizarre growth journey of the legendary savior?

"So, you're planning to take on Little Batty yourself?" Hermalena said.

I am naturally the most suitable candidate. It is impossible to let a student fight against the Death Eaters.

"The Death Eater parade on Quidditch is not simple, at least in my opinion."

Hermalena rested her hands on the armrest of the sofa. Her temperament was completely different from her appearance. However, her face was a little tired. Even in the dim light, I could notice a hint of blue under her eyes. The past would sooner or later overwhelm her. Such a thought suddenly emerged in my mind.

In war, someone always has to sacrifice something, even if it's not his life, it will be something else that makes people care.

Except for the lunatics in prison, the remaining Death Eaters are all cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. In other words, one of the great contributors, Rat, was put in jail, and now that the second one, Little Barty, is captured, it may be difficult to single out a loyal servant who can resurrect Voldemort during the period when Voldemort's power is at its lowest. In the final analysis, the Death Eater parades in Hermalena's previous life only dared to attack some vulnerable half-bloods and Muggles, not to mention that Voldemort is still trying to survive.

So, the most likely, most certain and most foolproof candidate is no one else but me.

Only Snape could be the one to resurrect Voldemort.

This is the best way to ensure thorough planning.

There is a lot that needs to be prepared. Maybe I can reveal it to Dumbledore after Barty Jr. is arrested. But if I let Hermalena know now, she will definitely try every means to stop me. So... forget it.

"be careful."

for sure.

?

"Severus, I heard that you haven't left the office during the entire Christmas holiday. Filius was very worried, so I came to check on you."

Old Bee walked in on his own, sat leisurely on the sofa, and prepared a table of desserts.

"If you just want to have afternoon tea here, then I suggest you go to Mag's place. After all, if your eyes are not decorations, you should be able to see that I am busy."

I pulled the manuscript that was pressed down by the old bee out from under the plate and put it into the drawer, thinking that I really didn't pay attention to the time. I didn't expect that the Christmas holiday had passed so quickly.

"Why did you start studying those things?" Dumbledore stared at my movements. As smart as he was, he naturally couldn't hide the contents of the manuscript. Those were some strange magics that I had collected during this period, but the fields involved might cause some misunderstandings.

"Beautiful things are mysterious and fascinating. Although they are not taboo, they are extremely dangerous after all. Severus, please do not let down the gift that others have carefully prepared."

Dumbledore moved the boxes from the corner over.

"I won't use it on you, you can rest assured. Or do you think I look like someone who would go back on my word? I won't stab you in front of you. Of course I never would."

"Oh, of course I know, Sev. I'm just concerned about you. You don't even have time to open your Christmas presents. If you're embarrassed to ask Mag for leave, you can come to me directly."

"If I remember correctly, you didn't return to school until midnight yesterday."

"Oh, it turns out that I can't hide anything from you. In that case, why don't we two busy people spend a make-up Christmas together? Let's open them and see?" As he spoke, he looked at my Christmas present eagerly.

I waved the gifts into the room and sat down across from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore spread his hands and began to eat his sickening desserts.

Soon, he put away his heartless old naughty smile and finally spoke.

"Things aren't going well with the werewolves."

It seems that Dumbledore doesn't bring much good news, which is beyond my expectation.

"I remember Lupin was doing pretty well before?"

"That's true. However, in the past month, two young wizards have been attacked by werewolves, and both of them are half-bloods. Remus has also noticed that some of the werewolves under him are not right. There are some who want to challenge him, but the attacks are obviously not right." Dumbledore's expression was a little unpredictable, but it was not a good expression. The attack on a young wizard was no trivial matter.

"Any idea?"

If he came to talk to me about werewolves, it certainly wasn't to ask me for advice. I guess he already had the answer and came to tell me.

"Greyback."

The werewolf who had injured Lupin. But would he choose to do this at this time just to challenge Lupin? Was it stupidity or something else?

"It can't be..."

“It’s a possibility.”

Although I wanted to deny it, Dumbledore was right. After all, Voldemort was just in a weak position, not completely gone.

But it is impossible that Voldemort would be connected with werewolves for no reason. There must be something fishy about this. It seems that I have to speed up my plan.

So, I told Dumbledore the plan to resurrect Voldemort in advance. Not to mention Barty Jr., he would not let him go after all.

"Are you going to go to such lengths? After all, it's not as easy as it sounds." Dumbledore pondered the pros and cons and asked with some concern.

It's a pity that I don't need his hypocritical care. I'd rather spend this time to comfort Lupin who was sent out to capture werewolves.

Now that the matter has been exposed, I just let go and do it. While thinking this, the figure of Hermalena unconsciously emerged in my mind.

Sure enough, I still can't let go.

I just hope that she can be more obedient. After all, those so-called strange magics involve the soul. This is a gamble. No one knows the reason why Hermalena's soul goes back in time, and all I can do is to use the soul's return to bring something to myself. If this is really a curse, she will still... Well, it can be regarded as a help to Hermalena, but after all, death is not something that can be taken lightly.

So, Hermalena, live well, and please make sure to waste my kindness no matter what.
