From the fact that there was no specific evidence to prove that he murdered Dumbledore, and he was released by the Ministry of Magic, to being appointed as the headmaster of Hogwarts by the school board, Snape behaved quite calmly throughout the whole process, as if everything It is a matter of course.
When he returned to Hogwarts, ignoring Hagrid’s murderous gaze, he went directly to the headmaster’s office through the oak gate of the castle. During the short journey, Snape could feel the hatred eyes of his former colleagues. Although they were very careful to hide their anger and hatred, Snape knew that his former colleagues did not welcome him and even wanted to kill him. He avenged Dumbledore.
However, ridiculously, he only did what Dumbledore told him to do.
“As you wish, I am back and become the most unpopular person!”
After entering the principal’s office, Snape came to the portrait of the former principal and said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
“Hogwarts School has completely fallen into Voldemort’s hands.” The sleeping old man opened his eyes, looked at the successor in front of him, and said calmly: “I hope you can fulfill your old oath, Do everything in your power to protect Hogwarts students.”
“It’s not easy.” Snape said softly, shaking his lips, “The Dark Lord asked me to expel all Muggle-born students, you know I don’t have much choice.”
After a moment of silence, Dumbledore said with a smile: “This is expected, isn’t it? Just like Salazar Slytherin, they are all prejudiced against Muggle wizards and want to make them Get out of Hogwarts.”
“The situation is worse than you expected.”
Snape couldn’t understand Dumbledore’s calmness, and took out a newspaper from a few days ago from his robe pocket: “Perhaps, you may not be clear, there is now a Muggle Wizard Registration Committee in the Ministry of Magic, They’re sending those Muggle-born wizards into Azkaban.”
“Oh, that looks like something they would do.”
Dumbledore’s portrait said so lightly, which made Snape extremely annoyed.
Sure enough, after death, people become indifferent to many things.
“As far as I know, the Dark Lord also intends to let Yaxley erase the Muggle-born registration records from 1985 to the present.” Snape directly threw the newspaper on the table, and the voice made many pretend Sleeping eavesdropping portraits have their eyes open.
“Some things are no longer something that I can do with all my strength.”
Snape’s indifferent tone contained a little self-mockery. He actually didn’t care much about the situation of Muggle wizards. The agreement between Bullido was to protect Hogwarts students as much as possible, but some things are out of his control right now, even if he wants to help, he can’t do anything.
“You don’t need to worry about these things, Mr. Anderson has already predicted them in advance.” Dumbledore smiled and looked at Snape, and softly comforted him, “As for the registration records of Muggle birth from 1985 to the present, it has long been reported by Albert Tate and Scrimgeour have been removed from the Ministry of Magic, and even if the Death Eaters wanted to turn against them, it’s unlikely they would find that list.”
“Other things must have been solved by you?” Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in the portrait.
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Dumbledore said calmly, “Muggle-born students in Hogwarts, you just need to say yes to the outside world and expel Muggle-born students according to the requirements of the Ministry of Magic. As for those poor children, Mr. Anderson will help them.”
“Albert Anderson?”
When Snape heard the name, he suddenly sneered, “As far as I know, that guy is not that kind of person.”
“Don’t be prejudiced. Mr. Anderson has been helping them silently. It is because of his help that many things will not go to the other extreme, and will not turn to a bad ending.”
Dumbledore still recognized Albert’s dedication and hard work, but some things did not shift according to his will.
Now, with Albert as the backing guarantee for the plan, even the deans of the school have chosen to help those Muggle-born students. The situation of those children is much better than expected. Dumbledore is not Worried they’d be thrown into Azkaban.
Snape is too lazy to argue with Dumbledore, as long as Dumbledore has a way to solve those problems, he is confident that Hogwarts will make a smooth transition under his control, and he will not let Hogwarts be left alone At the mercy of the dead.
There was a knock on the door of the headmaster’s office, and Snape also ended the conversation with Dumbledore’s portrait.
Professor McGonagall with a gloomy face opened the door and walked in, looking indifferently at the murderer sitting in the seat of the principal’s office, shaking his lips and asking, “Principal, what do you want from me?”
“I think you should have read the newspapers, and you know that the Ministry of Magic recently established the Muggle-Born Committee.” Snape didn’t look at his former colleagues, and continued: “According to the latest laws enacted by the Ministry of Magic, They think Muggle-born wizards steal wizards’ magic…”
“This is ridiculous!” Professor McGonagall interrupted screaming.
“This is an order from the Ministry of Magic. If you have any objections to this, I suggest you go and protest to the Ministry of Magic.” Snape said indifferently: “What I want to say is that Hogwarts will start next term.” , will no longer accept Muggle-born students, and those Muggle-born students studying at Hogwarts will also be expelled.”
As he spoke, he threw a letter on the table.
“This is a request from the Ministry of Magic. I don’t want Aurors to come to Hogwarts to capture those Muggle-born prisoners!”
Professor McGonagall bit her lip and clenched her fists, but she obviously knew that there was no point in continuing to argue, at least these things were completely within their expectations.
“There is another thing.” Snape looked at Professor McGonagall who almost slammed the door, “I have already found suitable candidates for the vacancies of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Professor of Muggle Studies.”
However, Professor McGonagall has left.
Snape didn’t care about the other party’s rudeness. After raising his wand and closing the office door, he turned his eyes to Dumbledore’s portrait again.
“I don’t know how they’ll feel if they know I’m just doing what you tell them to do,” Snape sneered.
“You have done an excellent job, and I count on you to continue to gain Voldemort’s trust for as long as possible,” said Dumbledore.
“The Dark Lord wants the Gryffindor sword,” Snape said suddenly.
“This is also within my expectation.” Dumbledore nodded and ordered: “Move my portrait.”
Snape frowned, but still moved closer to Dumbledore’s portrait, pulling it away.
When the portrait is opened, it reveals a hole hidden in the back, which actually hides a Gryffindor sword.
“This…”
“That sword is fake, you can take it to Voldemort.” said Dumbledore.
“Fake?” Snape looked startled.
“I dare say that Voldemort has never seen the real Gryffindor sword, so he can’t recognize it, because this sword is very realistic.” Dumbledore explained: “In fact, except for goblins, most wizards are Can’t even recognize the properties that only goblin-made weapons have. So, you don’t need to worry about Voldemort recognizing it as a counterfeit. ~Soverse.com~Gryffindor’s sword is important?” Snape asked subconsciously .
“I need you to deliver the real sword to Harry at the right time.” Dumbledore admitted that the Gryffindor sword is very important.
“What’s the use of it?” Snape took out the imitation Gryffindor’s sword from it, “Did you expect Potter to use it to kill You-Know-Who.”
“Yes.”
“This is not funny at all,” Snape was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore’s perfunctory, “You won’t tell me anything.”
“I can’t put all my secrets in one basket, especially a basket that hangs on Voldemort’s arm for a lot of time.” Dumbledore shook his head and said, “Besides, the less people know about some things, the more Good.”
“What about Anderson? You even asked him to help you handle the will for Potter.” Snape was puzzled and annoyed by this, and accused, “You obviously trust him more.”
“I didn’t tell Mr. Anderson too many things. He figured out many things by himself. Don’t forget, he is a master prophet and his brain is smarter than most people, so I don’t have much choice. Believe him. Mr. Anderson proved himself to be credible, and there were times when he and I had no choice.”
For Dumbledore, Albert was a surprise.
“That guy is not one to follow orders from others,” Snape reminded.
“I never ordered him, we are just… a partnership.”
“It seems that the people who worked with Anderson did not end well.” Snape mocked.
“That’s our own choice, whether it’s me or Scrimgeour.” Dumbledore shook his head and said, “It has nothing to do with Mr. Anderson.”
