Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

"Actually... this kind of thing actually happened once. It's only today that I connected it together. What defeated Voldemort last time was the power of 'love'."

"What can I do?" Snape leaned forward a little and asked in an urgent tone, "How can I use 'love'... to defeat Voldemort?"

Chapter 188 Dobby’s Memory

Dumbledore hadn't seen Snape look so anxious in a long time.

He could even predict how Snape would react if he said "Harry needs to be given to Voldemort so that Voldemort can gain Lily's 'love'".

Snape will definitely try his best to stop it. After all, he will stay at Hogwarts because Harry will also enroll in the school in the future.

If this matter is explained clearly, then the power of "spell" must be introduced.

At least so far, Dumbledore felt that Snape was not suitable for pursuing the curse.

In addition to the extremely difficult task of finding a matching spell, Snape's own hatred of Voldemort would also drive Snape to pay a heavy price.

In addition, even if Dumbledore did not explain the secret of the curse, Snape, with his ability, would most likely be able to contact Vizette and get the secret about the curse from Vizette.

Instead of these things happening for no reason... Dumbledore looked at the glass bottle aside, which contained the thread of memory from Dobby.

He coughed lightly and said: "Severus, so far, I can only be sure of one thing - we can defeat Voldemort with 'love'."

Snape narrowed his eyes, "I am also certain that you have to eat when you feel hungry. It seems that I have come to a great conclusion."

"In addition, if you feel that your head is not clear, it is recommended to drink more soul soothing medicine. Tell me what should be done!"

"This is a process that requires continuous collection of clues..." Dumbledore picked up the glass bottle and held it tightly in his hand.

"Just like last year, through Wizette and Harry, it was confirmed that Voldemort was not dead... This year is also a similar situation. You should understand this, right?"

"I used the snake slough fragments and a guiding magic to glean some information and determined that Voldemort's weakness is 'love'."

Snape twirled his index fingers and thumbs and stared at Dumbledore, as if trying to determine whether there was any possibility of lying.

It's a pity that Dumbledore is also proficient in Occlumency, and he is so much older. Once he gets serious, he will not show any flaws at all.

Dumbledore picked up the glass bottle in his hand, "Severus, aren't you interested in Dobby's memory? Maybe you can get more useful clues from it..."

Snape took a deep look at Dumbledore and said slowly: "Then let's take a look!"

----------------------------------------

The two stood in front of the pensieve. After a while, they appeared in a magnificent living room.

Snape said shortly: "The living room of Malfoy Manor."

They appeared behind the fireplace, Dobby carefully hiding himself and eavesdropping on the conversation between Lucius and the guests.

Snape looked across from Lucius, where there was a stout middle-aged man, "Old Crabbe, Vincent Crabbe's father, like Lucius, escaped trial."

"It's very similar... you can see it." Dumbledore nodded.

Old Crabbe's tone was full of worry: "That Arthur led a team to search me! Lucius, they fined me a lot of money! Some of your things were also taken away..."

"I know..." Lucius yawned and gently stirred the black tea in front of him.

He did not look directly at Old Crabbe, as it seemed that the cup of black tea was more important, "I will help you pay those fines... After all, you are keeping those things for me..."

Old Crabbe waved his hands quickly, with a smile on his face, "Ah...who among us is following whom? I didn't mean that...but thank you anyway!"

"Lucius... But to be honest, that Arthur is too presumptuous! Should we find a way... He is embarrassing our pure-blood family!"

"They are the scum of the pure-blood family..." Lucius took a sip of black tea. "I have something left by the Dark Lord here... I might as well take advantage of them!"

Hearing this, Dobby suddenly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.

Old Crabbe hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Lucius, are you planning to... frame him up?"

"Framing a frame up?" Lucius raised his eyebrows, "I'm giving alms... They live in such a shabby place, and they can get the Dark Lord's belongings. Can it be considered a frame up?"

Old Crabbe nodded repeatedly, "Yes! It's charity! It's about helping others!"

…

The memory content has changed, but it is still in the living room.

Dobby had just finished filling the incense, Lucius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy walked out of the fireplace, Lucius's expression looked extremely solemn.

Snape and Dumbledore were not surprised when they heard the conversation between Lucius and Narcissa.

In fact, for those pure-blood families, there are no black magic props in the mansion, but they are aliens.

Lucius walked towards the study, and Dobby appeared at the door, listening to what was going on inside.

"The Dark Mark appears... Dumbledore protects the Dark Lord..." Snape raised his eyebrows, "It seems... Lucius has encountered the same thing."

"But... Vizet is indeed fine." Dumbledore stroked his beard, "It's just a coincidence that is too wonderful."

As Dobby was summoned, Draco also entered the study, and Dobby eavesdropped again.

"Professor Snape actually gave him an 'O', he is a Ravenclaw..." Dumbledore smiled.

He added: "But this can't be blamed on Professor Snape. If I were still teaching, I would also be willing to give an 'O' grade."

Snape curled his lips, but said nothing.

Even if you have participated in his private lessons, you can't get an "O", that's the most problematic thing!

The conversation between Lucius and Draco continued. Dumbledore was fully aware of the relationship between Snape and Lucius, so he didn't speak.

Draco turned the doorknob and left the study, with a look of uneasiness and confusion on his face. As soon as he left, Dobby appeared again.

He was still standing at the door of the study, with his bat-like ears pressed against the door.

Lucius in the study seemed to be looking for something, and then there was a long silence.

Dobby did not relax at all, maintaining the posture of eavesdropping, with his ears still pressed tightly against the door.

A house elf was so patient, and Dumbledore Snape did not say anything, and continued to wait for the development of subsequent memories.

After a long while, Lucius let out a long sigh.

"Is the Dark Lord here to remind me? Or... to warn me?"

Hearing Lucius muttering to himself in doubt, Dumbledore and Snape's faces became strange.

Lucius continued to talk to himself, "I'm afraid the Dark Lord is playing a big game! He actually chose to hide under the light, right under Dumbledore's nose."

Chapter 189 Side Effects of Bafe's Brain Refresher

"So Vizet is playing a big game... Even I was kept in the dark." Dumbledore laughed, very happy, and even had tears in the corners of his eyes.

The owner of this memory, Dobby, took a deep breath at this moment, collapsed at the door of the study, and looked like he was scared.

There were also tears in the corners of his eyes, but they were caused by fear. He was really too afraid that Voldemort would come back.

...

The content of the memory changed. After Lucius left, Dobby entered the empty study without permission.

He walked around the study carefully, as if he was looking for something.

After a long time, he found something in a cabinet.

It was a notebook with an egg white dragon leather cover, and the name of Lucius' father Abraxas Malfoy was on it.

Snape looked at Dobby who was peeping into the notebook, and his tone became subtle, "Peeping into the master's secrets... In the Malfoy family, this house-elf can be sentenced to death."

Dumbledore sighed: "Being able to do so much for Harry... Dobby... is probably the most special house-elf I have ever seen."

Snape sneered and said: "It is indeed special enough to be scared to faint when seeing Vizet."

As Dobby flipped through the albumen dragon leather notebook, the two also knew the contents of the notebook.

Through the contents of the notebook, Dumbledore and Snape completely understood why Lucius regarded Vizet as Voldemort.

As Dobby also peeped into the contents of the notebook, he obviously had the same idea as Lucius, and also used the contents of the notebook as confirmation to regard Vizet as the reborn Voldemort.

Dobby was very afraid of Voldemort, so when he faced Vizet, he would show all kinds of unbearable behavior. After meeting Vizet several times, he fainted directly.

…

Snape could understand why Lucius had such an association.

After all, the Dark Mark had really appeared, and Lucius's feelings towards the Dark Lord were extremely complicated.

In his early years, he followed Abraxas Malfoy's last wish and, like other Death Eaters, had a reverence for the Dark Lord;

However, as the struggle unfolded, Voldemort's character was exposed more and more, and in Lucius's heart, his admiration for Voldemort gradually disappeared and turned into fear;

It was because of this fear that Lucius became one of the first Death Eaters to turn against the Dark Lord after the news of his downfall came out.

As Lucius betrayed Voldemort, revealed the whereabouts of other Death Eaters, and then escaped trial, everything began to stabilize and improve, and he began to feel uneasy again.

For a long time, Lucius couldn't sleep properly and couldn't think normally, so he had to take Dreamless Sleeping Potion and Barfy Brain Awakening Potion to help him expand his family's power;

When Dreamless Sleeping Potion and Barfy Brain Awakening Potion lost their effects, he still needed Snape's help to get rid of his dependence on Barfy Brain Awakening Potion.

Despite this, side effects were inevitable...

According to Snape's description, he took too much potion and his head was full of herbs.

So when the burning of the Dark Mark and the anxiety reached the peak, and the side effects of excessive use of Barfy Brain Awakening Potion appeared, Lucius had extreme thoughts-
