After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Dumbledore standing cheerfully behind them. No one knew when he had arrived. Also standing behind him was Professor Snape, who looked a bit gloomy.

"Headmaster, professor..." Hermione felt a little guilty, casually barging into an unknown room. There might be some dark magic items left in it...

"The freshman prefects of the four houses led their classmates to explore the mysterious room filled with the smell of dark magic. Oh, and there were also two third-year seniors. I suggest that the headmaster give them 10 points for their bravery. I mean, for each of them."

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Snape's words.

Draco and Harry looked at each other. Sure enough, they had to rely on them at this time.

The Godfather just doesn't know how to speak nicely, and even his caring words are spoken in a sarcastic tone.

"Godfather!" Draco and Harry each held one of Snape's hands, blinking their eyes and looking at him innocently.

Snape shook his head with a look of surprise, trying to shake them off, if you ignore the light force.

"Godfather, we are just too curious." Harry looked at Snape innocently with his emerald eyes.

Since he was little, his mother told him to take good care of his eyes and not wear glasses. He looked a lot like his father when he wore glasses, and he was very uncomfortable with his godfather at that time. Although she stopped saying this when he got older.

"If Severus gets angry when you're being naughty, just stare at him without blinking, understand? Don't talk back to him." Lily's mother worriedly reminded him many times in the letter, and he remembered it completely.

There was no way. In order to prevent Snape from remembering James and causing discord within the family, Lily knew that what James and the others had done was indeed excessive, and it was reasonable for Severus not to forgive them.

But she didn't expect that the two of them would curse each other behind their backs, and they were so unhappy. Although James couldn't curse Severus, she was a little worried about little Harry. She used to think it was good to be like James, that boys look like their fathers, but now she really hoped that Harry would look like her.

Snape flicked the troll's head amusingly, watching him let out a mock cry of pain. Lily must have taught him to keep his eyes wide open and unblinking when he made a mistake.

In fact, the reason he turned a blind eye to Harry's mistakes was not because of those eyes, but because of the sincerity in them. Harry was indeed very sensible and would not make the same mistake again.

Maybe this gave both him and Lily some strange ideas...After all these years together, he still couldn't tell Harry and Lily apart?!

"Godfather~" Draco saw that Snape's expression looked better, so he shook his hand gently. In order to change the subject, he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "The mirror is aimed at me, and I am the only one who can't see anything." He selectively forgot what Dumbledore had just said and complained to Snape.

"Godfather, don't be angry. I know you care about us. We have done a thorough reconnaissance, just like this Scope exploration." Draco waved his wand at Snape, indicating that he was being cautious.

Snape has always been very doting on Draco, although he often said that Lucius and Narcissa doted on Draco too much and would eventually turn him into a little bastard.

But in reality, Snape was the one who had the most to do with Draco. His godson had been in poor health since childhood, and it was he who, day and night, brewed potions to bring him back from the brink of death. Before Draco was five, he actually spent the most time with Snape. Snape never refused any of Draco's requests.

After he recovered from his illness, seeing how Lucius and Narcissa doted on him excessively, Snape took on the responsibility of disciplining the two children.

"Well, this won't happen again." Snape felt a little relieved as he sensed the few dark magic items within range and judged their strength to be no more than a harmless curse that would make anyone it touched lose all their hair.

Pansy, Ron, Hermione, Blaise and the others secretly gave Draco and the others a thumbs up, saying, "You guys are worthy of it!"

Dumbledore's mouth twitched. "It's not right to spoil a child, Sev. Did you forget why I sent you to the office? Who knows if there might be something better hidden in this room?"

"I don't think it's directed at you, Draco." Dumbledore explained the Mirror of Erised in detail. "...Only the happiest children can see themselves in the mirror. You are a good boy, Draco."

Everyone listened to Dumbledore's introduction to the magic mirror and gained a more comprehensive understanding of it.

But... "Pure heart?" Pansy's face was distorted, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Draco's face also turned red. As a little man who cared about his reputation, he thought that the description of himself should be beautiful, handsome, elegant, reliable, mature and excellent. "Pure heart" sounded like the description of the heroine in the cartoon they watched with Ginny.

Knowing is one thing, but speaking it out is socially disastrous.

Seeing that everyone looked like Pansy, neither laughing nor not laughing, he was so angry that his face puffed up and he glared at them without any killing intent.

"Um...Principal, how did you know we were here?" Blaise cleverly changed the subject. He was indeed confused.

"You know, as the headmaster, I do have some small privileges." Dumbledore blinked mysteriously. He couldn't say that he had been here from the beginning, but had left in a hurry after discovering something extraordinary. He had originally brought Sevilla here to see if there was anything else he had missed, but he didn't expect them to still be here.

"Children, I will put this mirror somewhere else. Don't indulge in false desires. Reality is what you should pay more attention to. Don't ignore the small details." Dumbledore said meaningfully.

Theodore, having calmed down, felt Dumbledore was speaking to him. He was undoubtedly a clever child, so what had he overlooked?

"Okay, kids, maybe you all forgot the time while playing. It's almost lunch time, and you should go back and clean up, otherwise Minerva will nag you again if she sees you." He pointed at the dusty robes of several little wizards, and their faces with several black marks but they were unaware of them.

Pansy, confused, took out the small mirror she always carried with her and looked at herself. "Ah!" The superb soprano startled everyone. Hermione swore that she couldn't help but shudder at the sight of Headmaster Dumbledore.

Pansy looked at the gray mark on her nose and couldn't accept that she, who was so perfect, had just been in such a state with everyone. She quickly took out her makeup bag and began to touch up her makeup as if no one was around.

"Excuse me, Mr. Principal, Dean Snape." She carefully looked at her flawless face in the mirror, then breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely saluted the two elders by lifting the hem of her skirt.

"I understand, Miss Parkinson. A girl's beauty is very important." Dumbledore winked playfully.

He seemed to enjoy this action, but his eyes really wouldn't twitch, Draco wondered.

Only after the children had left did Dumbledore put away his smile, look at Snape seriously, and the two began a carpet search in the huge room.

Only after searching every corner carefully did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Severus, come to my office for a cup of tea. Lucius should be here soon," Dumbledore invited.

Snape snorted coldly, which was considered as his agreement.

"Hmm, you're looking for me in such a hurry. Do you have any clues about the Horcrux? Professor Dumbledore." Lucius stepped out of the fireplace in the headmaster's office gracefully without a speck of dust on his body.

"What is this?" He saw the crown on the table, which was filled with the scent of black magic, and immediately used a Holy Light Dispel. It didn't end until the black mist inside dissipated painfully, ensuring that no trace remained.

He then sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip. Then his expression twisted for a moment, and he set the cup down in disgust. "Still so sweet, watch your teeth. Mr. Grindelwald asked me to give you his regards."

He didn't care about Dumbledore's complicated expression. If Cissy hadn't been studying with the Dark Lord, he wouldn't have gotten involved in the love-hate relationship between these two old noobs. Did he think he wasn't busy enough?

Dumbledore stuffed a lemon sherbet into his mouth to hide his complicated feelings. "Lucius, I called you here this time because of the Horcrux."

He pointed to the newly purified crown, which had regained its original luster. "This is the Ravenclaw crown. Do you remember that among the Horcruxes we purified, there was a Hufflepuff cup?" He and Severus had discussed this. If their guess was correct, then there must be another object that was also a Horcrux, which was...

"Slytherin's locket." Lucius's expression was serious, his mind racing. "The diary was his first attempt, and it was created unintentionally. Later, he selected meaningful items worthy of his status: Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, and Slytherin's locket. If it weren't for the missing Sword of Gryffindor, he would have completed the four treasures of Hogwarts."

"My child, the sword of Gryffindor has always been in this school and has never left. I promise it is not a Horcrux." Dumbledore didn't care about Lucius's little test.

"Hmph, cunning Gryffindor." Lucius snorted, knowing he was being told not to ask further questions. He didn't care, but he was still harsh in his words. "I'll check Slytherin's locket. Didn't we infer there were seven Horcruxes last time? Do you have any idea about the other one?"

"Hmm? I thought Harry told you about Nagini, a blood-cursed orc." Dumbledore's expression was a little complicated. "You can ask Gellert, he knows too." Nagini...

"I think it should be these seven. But this is just my hunch." But everyone knows that the wizard's premonition will not be wrong, especially the powerful wizards.

Seven Horcruxes. Lucius knew Voldemort was crazy, but he didn't expect him to be this crazy.
