Hogwarts: I'm just here to enjoy the magic

"Daughter? Two more?"

Dumbledore suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"When did this happen?"

Did you betray Lily?

Otherwise, given Snape's virtue, how could he have a daughter?

Or, adopted?

Or is it……

"You weren't deceived by Lockhart, were you?"

Lockhart is a top actor.

At the same time, he is also a huge liar.

Look at him, he deceived all the students and made them think he was a waste.

"The sealed memories he said may be false." Dumbledore reminded seriously.

"It's not fake, just take a look." Snape stretched out his hand and pointed at his head.

"Shall I see it myself?" Dumbledore asked hesitantly.

"Yes, come and see for yourself and confirm for yourself." Snape nodded seriously.

"Well..." Dumbledore sighed, "Well, in order to resolve the doubts, it is indeed necessary."

After saying that, he took out his wand.

To use Legilimency, Dumbledore did not need a wand or spell.

However, taking out the wand to cast a spell looks more formal.

And the magic effect will be stronger.

"Relax, I'm coming in." Dumbledore's wand tapped Snape's head lightly, "Legilimency!"

The magic responded.

Dumbledore's consciousness immediately entered Snape's mind.

Hidden memories?

two daughters?

With strong doubts and a clear purpose, Dumbledore started searching directly.

I thought I wouldn't find it.

But the situation is indeed unexpected.

He found his so-called daughter easily.

Lily and Sally.

Snape raised two children who were related to Lily Evans in an unnamed town.

From a baby, to growing up to be a little girl.

A very complete and coherent memory.

Dumbledore saw how Snape made milk powder and changed diapers for them.

I also saw how he told them little stories in front of their bed to lull them to sleep.

I also saw how he took them to the playground to play.

In that clearly visible memory.

Snape was completely different from what Dumbledore was known for. He was so gentle, considerate, and affable.

That fatherly love that is visible to the naked eye, completely overflowing.

Overflowing with Snape.

Dumbledore was silent.

what……

no……

Where did these memories come from?

So clear and coherent.

and also……

The child that Snape had raised for more than ten years?

When was that?

Before Voldemort's fall, Snape was either busy serving Voldemort or being a spy.

After Voldemort's fall, Snape stayed in school to attend classes, turned his grief and anger into strength, and devoted himself to potion research.

Occasionally he would go out to perform tasks assigned by him.

After all, I have always suspected that Voldemort is not dead, right?

Need to intensify search efforts.

To sum up, Snape should not and cannot have time to be a qualified and loving father.

Dumbledore checked it carefully and repeatedly.

There is nothing false about this memory.

It was indeed Snape's personal experience.

The only problem is...

This memory is quite fragmented.

It doesn't connect with the part where Snape himself works in the school and teaches young wizards.

This is the biggest doubt.

Dumbledore studied it repeatedly for a long time, but couldn't find the crux and could only retreat.

Ended Legilimency.

"So, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Snape looked at Dumbledore calmly, "As Lockhart said, I did lose a memory. Now I just got it back."

"It's so weird that you lost it." Dumbledore held his forehead, "It has no beginning and no end, but it seems to have the shadow of time."

As a legendary wizard, he suspected that Snape had used a time converter to return to the past.

But is that possible?

If Snape really went back to the past, he would probably take Lily Evans away immediately to save her from Voldemort.

After all, in his perception, Snape was that kind of person.

For Lily Evans, Snape would do anything.

There is no need to hesitate to change history.

But right now, history has not changed.

The only difference is that Snape has a niece also named Lily and a daughter named Sally.

"It doesn't matter, even if the memory is false, it's okay. Anyway, as long as my daughter is real." Snape showed an old father's smile.

Dumbledore looked a little emotional.

Snape was indeed a loving man.

Although the object of love now has become his daughter.

However, it is also good.

At least, he's not a cold and heartless guy like Voldemort.

"By the way, now that I have daughters, I plan to let them transfer schools and come to Hogwarts to study."

"Yes, no problem." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "They can come directly to class after the Christmas vacation."

"Now you know, I don't have much energy to be the headmaster." Snape brought the topic back, "Teaching those little trolls about potions has taken up a lot of my energy. I still have to be careful. How can I have the time and energy to train and accompany my two little princesses?"

"About the position of the principal... Let's take a look first. Things may not develop to that point." Dumbledore sighed softly, "From now on, we will focus on detecting the traces of the basilisk. Solve this problem as soon as possible. thing."

"What about Harry?" Snape suddenly threw out a name, "Does he have a specific feasible solution for the Horcrux problem? Or is he just a rough idea like before?"

"It's still the same. There is a plan, but it's not very reliable." Dumbledore looked at Snape with relief.

Although Snape had a daughter, he still remembered Harry.

Remember that Harry is Lily Evans' child.

It seems that after the so-called sealed memory is retrieved, its impact on Snape will be positive.

Snape was no longer even interested in the power and glory that the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts represented.

I just want to raise my daughter.

Really cried to death.

No.

This will not work.

Such a useful person with a strong bond (weakness), of course I should give him a push.

The headmaster of Hogwarts...

If it is really necessary.

Ok……

Dumbledore's eyes were half closed, and a dim light flashed inside.

"If Harry can't figure it out, he'd better find the Horcrux that's in the way first. I've thought about it carefully. The opening of the Chamber of Secrets and the release of the Basilisk should be inseparable from the Horcrux.

If we can find the Horcrux, we may be able to find the entrance to the secret chamber through it.

By then, the basilisk will be dealt with. "

Snape spoke slowly.

"Once the basilisk is solved, the petrification incident will no longer be an excuse to attack you. Naturally, there is no danger of the principal's position being shaken.

Correspondingly, Lockhart's plan will fail.

He will not become the principal, and he should not be allowed to be the principal. "

Snape looked serious.

"The headmaster of Hogwarts must not be Lockhart."
