It’s night, on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in the principal’s office

“Minerva, what made you change your mind about adopting this child?”

During dinner, Dumbledore noticed the conversation between his most powerful vice-principal and Snape, Noah’s nominal adoptive father.

So after the meal, he motioned to several deans to follow him Let’s talk in the office

“Noah’s child is not as bad in nature as Tom Riddle, although their growth trajectories are very similar.……”

Professor McGonagall unknowingly raised her tone,”Furthermore, his magical talent is unique among all the students I have ever seen.”

“Only a first-year student was able to cast spells without a wand, and he also completed a transformation operation that many second-year students could not do in the first class.”

She pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose,”If he doesn’t cultivate his character well, considering his magical talent, it will be extremely dangerous to the future magic world.”

“Therefore, leaving him to be raised by Severus was not an appropriate choice.”

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape with a hint of tit-for-tat,”As far as I know, Severus’s attitude towards that child is not very good.……”

“So, Albus, leave that child to me.”

Facing the aggressive Professor McGonagall, Snape was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t refute, because everything Professor McGonagall said was right. His attitude towards Noah was indeed not very good, and he often shouted and cursed.

Of course, he didn’t Fafa explained to Professor McGonagall that the kid was not an ordinary child who needed to be raised by him, but his partner.

A week before the start of school, he signed a magic contract with Noah.

The content of the contract was very simple. , just two simple treaties –

Noah helps Snape find the Resurrection Stone.

Snape will no longer help Dumbledore spy on Noah, and will help Noah hide it from Dumbledore, while giving his life-long knowledge to Teach Noah.

It is precisely because the two are equal partners that Snape does not treat Noah like an ordinary child.

Originally, he has no obligation to fulfill his obligations to his partner beyond the contract. As for other obligations, Noah was not an ordinary child who needed supervision.

As a result, this guy stayed at his house every day, ate his food and drank his food, and flirted with his daughter all day long!

Snape didn’t need the help of Shen Feng Wuying. Even if Noah is sterilized, do you expect him to treat Noah like a kind and kind father?

What a dream!

So when he heard Professor McGonagall’s words, Snape could only choose to shut his mouth silently, as if he He was just like an inconspicuous mute.

But he didn’t make a sound, but the people next to him couldn’t help but keep silent.

“No, letting Noah follow me is the most appropriate choice.”

Professor Flitwick, who didn’t know the truth, also stepped into this smokeless battlefield at this moment.

He stared at Dumbledore with burning eyes,”Albus, you don’t even know how talented that child is. Outrageous, he even created a magic of his own that I have never seen before!”

“Just a little wizard who has just stepped into the magical world, he has done things that even Nico Flamel may not be able to do!”

Listening to Professor Flitwick’s description of his first Charms class, Dumbledore frowned slightly.

Why are these things about Noah…so much time has passed since Noah entered Snape’s house? It has been a long time, but he has never heard Snape talk about it?

He gave Snape a puzzled look, but because the other two deans were here, he was not able to get Snape’s attention immediately. Pu’s response

“His magical talents should not be wasted! I could teach him all my life’s knowledge!”

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Professor Flitwick argued vigorously, not to be outdone,”In the final analysis, Transfiguration is just a subdivision of Charms.”

“He should learn spells from me so that he can maximize his magical talents.”

When the older cat girl heard this, how could she endure it?

“Precisely because Charms covers such a wide range, specializing in Transfiguration is the most suitable choice for Noah!”

“After all, a person’s energy is limited. If it is too scattered, no matter how talented the child is, it will not be possible to learn everything to the best!”

Seeing the two people in front of them fighting for the custody of their children like a divorced couple, Dumbledore, the principal who has the final say, suddenly felt a pain in his head.

But now that Snape has been appointed as Noah’s guardian, Dumbledore Bledo will not change this established fact.

After all, that child’s mind is too deep.

Even though Minerva McGonagall is his most powerful right-hand man, she is also the most powerful person in Hogwarts besides him. A senior educator.

But Dumbledore was still worried about handing Noah over to him.

He believed that even Professor McGonagall might not be able to detect the dark side of the child.

Only Snape, who had once been Only a senior double agent who is a Death Eater but has a bright heart and has experienced all kinds of darkness can take on such a vital job as the guardian of the future Dark Lord.

Therefore, Dumbledore refused the two offers without hesitation. proposal

“Minerva, Filius, there is no need to discuss the matter of Noah’s guardian. This is what Severus and I have discussed from the beginning.”

He stood up and assumed the posture of seeing off guests.

“Moreover, the child Noah also likes Severus very much. Noah is a very independent child. We should not force him or make choices for him.”

“If you really want to adopt him, you should seek Noah’s opinion instead of having a meaningless quarrel here.

Hearing the determination in Dumbledore’s tone, Professor McGonagall had no choice but to give up,”Okay.””

That’s what she said, but she didn’t give up.

The older cat girl never gives up.

Isn’t it just to ask for Noah’s opinion?

As long as she has more contact with the child, let him know that the cold little bat and How big of a gap existed between them.

She didn’t believe that Noah would refuse the olive branch she offered.

At that time, she only had to stand in front of Noah and stretch out her hand towards him,”Be my son!””

She believed that Noah would be so moved that he would burst into tears and agree to her invitation.

Professor Flitwick also stood up and walked towards the door.

Only Snape was still sitting at Dumbledore’s desk. , with no intention of leaving.

Just as he was about to step out of the principal’s office door, Professor McGonagall suddenly stopped and turned around.

“That child’s talent in magic is truly unprecedented in the history of the wizarding world. He seems to be born for magic.”

“Albus, you will regret it!”

Dumbledore didn’t say much. He just sat back on the chair silently, put his hands together, rubbed the thumb of his right hand against the index finger of his left hand, and kept watching Professor McGonagall until her back disappeared behind the closed door.

In Ge After the two deans of Llanffindor and Ravenclaw left, only Dumbledore and Snape were left in the principal’s office.

Neither of them spoke first. The columns hanging in the principal’s office The portrait of the acting headmaster was also in a state of sleep, and the room was silent.

Finally, Dumbledore broke the embarrassing silence.

“Severus, do you know anything about what Filius said about that boy possessing some incredible magic?”

“Know.”

Dumbledore looked like he was hesitating to speak,”Then……”

Snape had absolutely no intention of justifying his behavior.

“When you first met him, you should have known that he was already self-taught and knew some simple magic spells without a wand, right?”

“It is indeed the case.”

Snape stood up,”That child has no intention of hiding anything from you or me. On the contrary, you don’t trust him at all and are too wary of him.”

Dumbledore paused slightly.

“You shouldn’t take it for granted that he will become the next Dark Lord just because he was born in the Wu’s Orphanage and has a similar growth trajectory as the mysterious man.”

Snape lowered his eyes slightly,”He is completely different from the Dark Lord. He has everything that the Dark Lord never had.……”

Dumbledore also lowered his head, looking thoughtful,”You mean……”

“Family affection, friendship, even……”

Snape paused suddenly, and clenched his fists hanging by his sides,”Love.”

Love… what a luxurious and beautiful emotion.

“He had many beautiful emotions that the Dark Lord never had.”

Snape unclenched his fist and narrated calmly.

“But if you keep being wary of him, and even arrange for people from the Order of the Phoenix to monitor him, it will only destroy his remaining goodwill towards you and Hogwarts.”

Although his tone was very calm, he revealed a sense of dissatisfaction against Dumbledore.

This made Dumbledore feel a little ashamed. He was indeed too cautious. In the end, the other party was just a ten-year-old. It’s just a one-year-old child.

It’s just that the other person’s growth trajectory is so magical that Dumbledore has always regarded Noah as the most dangerous figure in the future magic world, but ignored the other person’s age.

But Dumbledore Bullide was not easily persuaded by Snape.

“After what happened, will you finally choose to trust others?”

Dumbledore’s tone was faint, like regret, but to Snape’s ears, it sounded like ridicule,”This is not like you, Severus.

Snape suddenly clenched his fists,”Don’t mention that matter in front of me!””

“Sirius also had many beautiful emotions that the Dark Lord never had. His relationship with James was also very good, but in the end it was……” boom!

Snape punched the table in front of the two of them hard,”I told you, don’t mention that matter in front of me.”

His next words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth. His words were filled with awe-inspiring murderous intent, mixed with a trace of regret.

“I should have killed him in the first place! If he dares to appear in front of me again, I will definitely kill him, absolutely!”

A dark light flashed through Dumbledore’s azure eyes hidden behind his half-moon lenses. He leaned forward slightly,”But now, you have chosen to believe in Noah.”

“You are always reluctant to show your good side to others, even after so many years.”

Snape just had a sullen face and did not speak.

Seeing that Snape was unwilling to dwell on this topic for too long, Dumbledore also stopped talking at the right time.

He didn’t know what Noah had taught Snape. What kind of ecstasy could make this cold-faced double agent speak for Noah like this?

And coupled with the abnormal behavior of the other two deans…

Dumbledore secretly raised Noah’s danger level in his heart. A grade, but one thing Snape said is indeed correct, that is his attitude towards Noah.

He needs to seriously think about how to change it, at least not so obviously.

“It’s getting late.”Snape stood up.

Regarding the bad old man in front of him, Snape had no intention of wasting time with him here.

He turned around and walked out,”I’ll take my leave now.”

After Snape left, Dumbledore sat alone for a long time, then let out a long sigh and turned his gaze to a huge object covered with an oversized curtain in the office.

He came to the mirror, The curtain was pulled down, revealing a very majestic mirror under the curtain.

The height reached directly to the ceiling.���The gorgeous golden frame is supported by two claw-shaped feet at the bottom, and a line of words is engraved on the top: Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.

If you turn it over and sort it out a little, it will be——

I show not your face, but your heart’s desire.

What I show is not your face, but your heart’s desire.

This is a magic mirror that can read people’s hearts.
