"Professor Dumbledore." Ani took a step back to open the door, and politely greeted the principal.
"Well, Ani, I hope our Potions professor won't disappear again before the final exam." Dumbledore was a little distressed. If Snape left without saying goodbye, it would be troublesome for him if someone wanted to take advantage of it. p>
The same mixed-race origin, the same immersion in black magic, the same talent, perhaps because he saw his own shadow in Snape, Voldemort was particularly fond of this Slytherin junior.
Compared with the treatment of other Death Eaters, Tom's attitude towards Snape can be described as doting.
The Dark Lord favored Snape, which was no secret among the Death Eaters. They were jealous and afraid of this cruel and lucky boy.
But no matter what, most people understand that the future of this hybrid wizard is worth their investment.
Therefore, among the Death Eaters, there are far more people who deliberately show favor to Snape than there are stupid young people who have their IQ arrears written on their faces.
But everything changed on that lily-withered night in Godric's Hollow.
Once the Dark Lord left, the situation in the First Wizarding War immediately reversed.
Death Eaters are arrested every day, and those who resist die directly at the hands of the long-suffering Aurors from the Department of Law Enforcement.
They tacitly implement a standard, which is to reduce the number of Death Eaters by at least half before imprisoning them in Azkaban.
However, what made the Aurors angry was that it didn't take long for the Ministry of Magic to order them to focus on arrests and not to kill too many people.
The number of Death Eaters about to be imprisoned in Azkaban is decreasing in another way, a despicable and shameful way in the eyes of Aurors.
Malfoy, Avery, MacNeil, Crabbe...
Before the Aurors came to the door, each of the former Death Eaters with some wealth walked into the Ministry of Magic. With the poor excuse of being controlled by the Imperius Curse and a large sum of Galleons, they washed away the Death Eaters from their bodies.
Marked by gangsters, failed to board the express train to Azkaban.
The legendary figure among Aurors, "Mad Eye" Moody spent six months catching a big fish. This guy had amazing attainments in black magic and was well-known in Northern Europe. He was a Death Eater.
The top people in.
Igor Karkaroff, later the principal of Durmstrang Academy of Magic, was also a man of great influence at that time, but it is said that he became a little nervous during the six months when he was chased by Moody.<
/p>
Karkaroff's arrest greatly boosted the morale of the Aurors, but then Barty Crouch Sr., then Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, reached an agreement with Karkaroff, and Karkaroff would confess
Aurors have never mastered the list of Death Eaters in exchange for their freedom.
The Aurors were very dissatisfied with this. In their opinion, it was difficult for the remaining Death Eaters to be more important than Karkaroff.
Fortunately, during the years of war, Old Barty had built up a very high reputation and trust among Aurors, so no trouble was caused.
But as Voldemort's spies planted in the Ministry of Magic were arrested one after another, the situation reversed, pushing Old Barty's reputation to the top.
If he suffers from infertility, Fudge will have no hope of becoming Minister for Magic after Bagnot retires.
While everyone was cheering for Old Batty, another name surfaced——
Severus Snape, a genius graduate of Hogwarts.
After Karkaroff identified Snape, the Aurors interrogated the captured Death Eaters and discovered something very interesting.
Snape was not active among the Death Eaters, nor was he keen on participating in various attacks. He seemed not as eager as others to please Voldemort in a humble way.
But almost every Death Eater showed a certain degree of jealousy when mentioning Snape, and some even called him "the Dark Lord's pet".
The Auror Office decided to arrest Snape immediately.
But unfortunately, the Aurors' plan failed, and a heavyweight vouched for Snape.
Dumbledore claimed that Snape was a spy who was instructed by him to infiltrate the Death Eaters.
But almost no one believes this statement, especially the Wizengamot wizards, who know that Voldemort is an outstanding Legilimency master.
These prestigious wizards did not believe that anyone could stay undercover next to the demon. Even some veteran wizards in the Wizengamot could not do this, let alone a young man who had only graduated from Hogwarts three years ago.
People.
But they forget that magic is a craft that requires extremely talented people.
However, due to Dumbledore's prestige, everyone did not cling to Snape.
When all was said and done, as Dumbledore wished, Snape was not tried as a Death Eater.
However, the Wizengamot required Snape to be supervised, and Dumbledore served as Snape's guardian.
Even today, this supervision order has not been revoked. In theory, Snape must report to the Ministry of Magic when leaving Hogwarts.
Of course, there have been no problems for more than 10 years, and in fact no one still remembers this supervision order.
But a certain unknown minister has only been in power for a year, but he can't help but make some small moves.
"Mr. Headmaster, I have promised you that I will not leave Hogwarts for the time being." Snape stuck his head out and said dissatisfiedly to Dumbledore. He could not wait to discuss this trip to the Muggle world with Ani.
Gained.
"Okay, okay, I know it's easier to be bored by young people when you get older, but to be honest, Severus, you don't look like a young person anymore. How do you say that? Middle-aged?"
”
Snape's leaving without saying goodbye made the old wizard somewhat resentful. When he left, he was mumbling something like an ordinary old man.
"Come in quickly, Ani." Snape hurriedly closed the door after Ani entered the room, completely ignoring the resentment of the old principal.
Just sitting on the chair, before Ani opened his mouth, Snape eagerly recounted what he saw and heard during this outing.
"It's really unimaginable that something that even magic can't do is so easy for Muggles."
"It's a pity that he is a Muggle, otherwise Mr. Wilmut's talent and knowledge could open up a new branch of magic."
As Snape talked incessantly, Ani quickly got a rough idea of Snape's journey during this period.
Originally, Snape expected to return within two days, but after contacting Wilmut, he immediately decided to change his itinerary.
Although he is half Muggle, as he travels farther and farther on the road of magic, he naturally develops a sense of superiority over the non-magic world due to the scenery that Muggles will never experience.
This is understandable. In many aspects, magic does have unparalleled advantages over technology.
But Wilmut made him understand that technology can also do things that magic cannot.
Two scholars who are the best in their respective fields met at a late date. They brought the two worlds that they had not had in-depth contact with for a long time, and created a hot and dazzling spark.
