[HP] Return to original form

As soon as the Christmas holiday arrived, Ian rushed back anxiously, eager to know about Evan's situation.

"Are you okay?" Ian asked worriedly as soon as he found Evan.

Ian's concern made Evan's heart warm. Not all efforts will be rewarded, but someone will care about him.Evan rubbed Ian's hair rarely, and said with relief: "Don't worry, it's just a little accident."

"You disappeared suddenly, we were all very worried. The principal even came to inquire about your whereabouts, but no one knew. I was so anxious that I almost contacted Mr. Barty Crouch Jr. Fortunately, the principal came to inform you in a few days Say you have nothing to do, so we can rest assured." Ian frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Evan's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.

Evan was vigilant. From leaving Hogwarts to returning to England, he never revealed his whereabouts to anyone. How could Dumbledore know that he was fine?Could it be that Dumbledore has already guessed his identity and deduced his whereabouts?

Evan interrupted Ian's complaints and asked, "Did the principal say how he knew?"

"Huh? Didn't you tell him your whereabouts?" Hearing Evan's question, Ian also became vigilant. "He was sure that nothing happened to you at the time, and it didn't seem like he was simply comforting us."

Evan's face was solemn, and it seemed that he should be more careful in the meeting at that time.

Hogwarts is very deserted during the holidays. The Christmas holiday is too long. Basically, everyone will choose to go home and reunite with their relatives. Only a few students stay in the empty school. It is inevitable that they will feel a little lonely, so they all stay at home to rest. room.

Under the leadership of Lucius, Evan walked through the silent corridor and walked slowly towards the principal's office.However, to his surprise, not only Dumbledore was in the principal's room, but even Snape was leaning against the wall with his hands folded, silently waiting for Evan.

Facing Snape's deep eyes that suppressed countless thoughts, Evan felt that Snape's sight and Snape's breath had completely enveloped him, so he could only pretend to look away as if nothing had happened, and looked at Deng with doubts. Bullido.

"Severus is your headmaster, I think it is necessary for him to be there." Dumbledore explained the reason for Snape's presence.

Now that Dumbledore has said so, Evan also expressed no objection, and Lucius stated that he was entrusted by Evan's father to help.

"I think you already know why I'm here." Evan sat on the sofa transformed by Dumbledore and said politely.

"Yes, but I think, I also expressed my suggestion, little Mr. Peverell, I think it is inappropriate for you to quit school now." Dumbledore looked at him kindly through the glasses, "and, Before discussing this matter, I need to know the reason for your sudden disappearance. I have to say that the defense function of Hogwarts is still very good, your sudden disappearance makes us unable to find the reason, and we are very worried about your safety."

"I'm sorry." Evan said apologetically, "I was suddenly summoned by the family, and I was taken back by the family's door key before I was ready, and I didn't have the time and opportunity to inform you and the dean halfway through. The application That’s why I dropped out of school—I needed to accept the family legacy.”

"Oh, family inheritance... is indeed very important." Dumbledore asked curiously, "I heard that your family is not in England?"

Evan blinked innocently, and replied "naively": "Yes, we moved to Germany a long time ago. However, our family has always been very low-key, maybe you haven't heard of it."

"No, no, no..." Dumbledore shook his head and repeatedly denied, "Your family is very old and famous... Even "The Tale of Beedle the Bard" has records of your family."

Snape frowned slightly, thinking that Dumbledore was talking crazy again. After all, everyone had read children's enlightenment books like "The Tale of Beedle the Bard", and there was no description of Peverell in it.

Evan responded readily: "Principal, you are very knowledgeable. Few people know that the story of the three brothers is based on the three ancestors of our family."

Both Lucius and Snape showed shocked expressions. They seemed to have heard something terrible... If the three brothers are real, then is it true that the Deathly Hallows is also real? !

Ignoring Dumbledore's probing eyes, Evan continued: "But our family has existed for a long time before that! There are many other famous ancestors in our family history, who have great achievements in potions, alchemy, and spells." Outstanding achievement."

After adding Evan's words, Dumbledore couldn't find anything more about the three brothers, so he just continued to inquire about the things he was concerned about: "As far as I know, your family originated in England, why did you suddenly move to Germany? ?”

"Because I was persecuted halfway, I had to leave the UK." Evan seemed very sad, so he only briefly introduced one sentence and said nothing more.

"So it's like this..." Dumbledore sighed sympathetically, but Evan clearly saw three words on Dumbledore's face: I don't believe it.

As if he didn't notice Dumbledore's suspicion, Evan still said sincerely: "Germany is too far away from England, and I have to go back to my family to accept the inheritance, so I have to drop out of school. Sorry for disappointing your high expectations."

Hearing this, Snape anxiously wanted to keep Evan, hesitated again and again, and finally just said dryly: "I hope you are not so arrogant that you think that the first two years of basic study are enough for you to learn all the knowledge. "

"Severus is right. Or, how about you go through the one-year suspension procedure? After the suspension is over, you can return to Hogwarts." Dumbledore said briskly, and took out the application form without waiting for Evan's rebuttal Handed it to him, "As far as I know, family inheritance can usually be completed in a year at most, so I will give you a semester break according to the maximum deadline. I hope you can continue to come back to class after completion. After all, school life is still very good, You don't have to rush out."

What he said was exactly the same as Gellert, and Evan couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection between the two.Could it be that Gellert had disclosed his whereabouts to Dumbledore before?

Putting down this doubt for the time being, Evan began to seriously consider the proposal of taking a break from school: one year should be enough time for him to deal with the troublesome things at the beginning of the plan. Moreover, there seems to be a Triwizard Tournament in the fourth grade, so he can come back and watch it .

Feeling that it is feasible to suspend school, Evan took the application form and discussed with Dumbledore: "I wonder if I can apply for a one-and-a-half-year leave of absence, and come back when I am in the fourth grade? I think one year may not be enough time." I completely study and absorb the family heritage."

"It's absolutely fine." Dumbledore said with a smile, "If you have any questions halfway, you can come to me or your dean."

Evan looked at Snape subconsciously. Although the other party seemed to be in a daze with no interest in their conversation, Evan could feel that the other party's gaze was always wrapped around him.

Evan turned his head and stopped looking at Snape, and replied obediently to Dumbledore: "I will."

When Evan walked out of the principal's office, Snape also pretended to be impatient and wanted to leave, but Dumbledore stopped him: "Peverell may have joined Grindelwald, we need to pay more attention."

Snape's eyelids jumped, and he turned to look at Dumbledore sarcastically: "Just because his family is in Germany?" The words obviously meant that Dumbledore was too suspicious.

"He has been staying at Grindelwald Manor all this time." Dumbledore said solemnly.

Snape's sarcastic smile froze on the corner of his lips, did Evan go to Grindelwald after disappearing for so long? !No wonder he couldn't find Evan's whereabouts.However, he dared to expose such a fragile appearance to Grindelwald... Does he trust Grindelwald that much?

A strong sense of self-deprecation suddenly surged in Snape - he is not qualified to judge whether Evan's trust was wrongly paid to others...

Seeing that Snape was silent, Dumbledore knew that his words had worked. He pushed his glasses and continued: "Peverell is a huge threat lurking beside Harry. Although I don't know why he chose to leave, But it's far better to keep him out of sight than not to know what he's planning elsewhere." After a pause, Dumbledore sighed, "Well, there's always danger around Lily and Harry..."

Seeing Snape leaving with a dark face, Dumbledore sighed. He didn't want to use Snape's feelings to force him like this every time, but the current situation is still critical, and Snape's power is indispensable of……

When Snape strode out of the principal's office, Evan and Lucius had disappeared. Snape hurriedly identified the direction and chased after him, hoping to catch up with Evan.

Finally, Snape caught up with the two in front of the hall on the first floor. After calling to Evan, Snape desperately wanted to say something to him, but he hesitated after touching the portrait hanging on the wall. The characters on the portrait are Dumbledore's eyes and ears, and this is not a place for conversation.

Snape's hands clenched into fists and slowly loosened, and finally he just said something in a low voice, "Marvolo, we need to talk."

Evan smiled at him alienatedly: "Dean, please forgive me for rushing back to the manor 'immediately'. There are still many things to prepare before the inheritance ceremony."

Snape looked at Evan with a complicated expression, he wanted to say that Gellert was not worthy of his trust at all, and Dumbledore had already begun to suspect him... Also, can you not reject him?

But looking at Evan's plain eyes and alienated expression, all Snape's words were stuck in his throat, and in the end he could only let Evan go away powerlessly.

"Evan..." Snape looked at Evan's back and sighed, as if he didn't call out, but held the name in his heart, cherishing it repeatedly...

The author has something to say: This seems to be the first time Evan and Dumbledore confront each other face to face...
