Chapter 498 Greed(2/2)
After a long time, Snape finally lost to Dumbledore's sharp gaze, which was as sharp as an eagle, and silently moved away his gaze and spoke first:
"You called me over so suddenly, Isn't it just to tell me this?"
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore also lowered his eyes, covered his gaze, nodded and said:
"The Dementors have completely defected to Voldemort. The dementors who are imprisoned Death Eaters can successfully escape from prison is a very good proof."
Snape looked down at a newspaper placed on the eagle's table and said:
"You only found out after reading the newspaper?"
Dumbledore reached out to rub the rough surface of the newspaper and said in a dreamlike tone:
"Yes, I actually learned such important information through the Prophet Daily."
"You are doubting me!"
Snape gritted his teeth and said, "I want to say I have no idea about this, do you believe it?"
Responding to Snape was the dead silence.
Dumbledore looked at Snape expressionlessly and gave his own answer in this silent manner.
This made Snape's breathing become rapid.
He took several deep breaths in a row and then stepped forward two steps:
"What are you going to do next?"
Dumbledore's eyes flashed at Snape a few times, and a hint of reluctance appeared on his face.
Finally, he sighed:
"Investigate the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic has been very strange recently. Something seems to be wrong inside them. Coupled with the matter of Azkaban, I have some suspicion that some senior officials of the Ministry of Magic have defected to Voldemort."
Snape nodded and immediately asked:
"Is that just that?"
Dumbledore fell into silence again.
The sharp gaze as sharp as a falcon appeared again, and he kept scanning Snape up and down, as if he was judging whether Snape was really feasible.
This time, Snape did not dodge, even though his back was already stimulated by the sharp eyes, he was sweating and looking at Dumbledore.
After a while, Dumbledore finally said:
"We received a tip that the Department of Mystery Affairs was holding a Voldemort's Horcrux."
"Really? I got it."
Snape was obviously relieved as he spoke.
The question just now was his final test of Dumbledore.
If Dumbledore doesn't answer, it means Dumbledore has lost the most basic trust in him.
Judging from the results of the test, Dumbledore is now just a little dissatisfied with some of his actions and is far from losing trust.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that all this is a play played by Dumbledore.
Snape never thought Dumbledore was a good person.
If Dumbledore deliberately threw out the smoke bomb to confuse him and Voldemort, and he really believed it, then he would really lose everything.
Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious...
Snape stared at Dumbledore expressionlessly for a moment, and did not inform Dumbledore of the scene he had seen in Harry's brain, but silently quit the office.
Bang—
The door automatically closed and the principal's office returned to silence.
Dumbledore did not continue to review the documents on the desktop, but continued to stare at the direction of Snape's departure, his eyes straight and as if he was dazed.
"Abus, you're too indecisive."
An old voice suddenly rang in the office.
This strange voice scared the portraits of the previous principals on the wall of the principal's office. They opened their eyes and searched in the office.
Finally, their eyes fell on a full-length mirror in the corner.
That mirror was brought back by Dumbledore tonight.
At first it was no different from ordinary mirrors.
But at this moment, there was a thick layer of mist on its mirror surface.
Mirror continued:
"If you think that guy just now is unreliable, you shouldn't tell him your next real plan, but you should kill him directly. If it is credible, don't say the nonsense that makes people doubt it first, just believe him.
Now that you are doing this, I dare say he is already wary of you."
Dumbledore closed his eyes and said:
"It's okay, Severus will not betray him. I just add some pressure and motivation to make him work harder."
Mirror said:
"Relationships need practical interests to maintain. Since you think they are available, give them what they want."
Dumbledore shook his head and said:
"I can't give it, Gellert. As I said before, he's too greedy, he wants all the fish and bear's paws."
"Ha! Isn't this the same thing as when we were young?"
The old voice in the mirror said happily.
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore opened his eyes and said with a wry smile:
Chapter completed!
