Vol 3 Chapter 469: Two-sided people (part 1)

Astoria vaguely sensed Jon's emotions and saw that he was absent-minded after hearing the news of Professor Trelawney, so she took the initiative to leave the principal's office.
After she walked down the spiral staircase, Jon Hart, who was sitting in the principal's seat, suddenly raised his head, with a stern light in his eyes.
"Phineas." He ordered softly, "Please contact Severus. We will meet in front of the Potions classroom in ten minutes."
"Okay, Jon!" Principal Phineas Black also rarely laughed, but nodded with a serious face, and soon he disappeared from the portrait.
"Do I need to call someone else?" On another portrait, Principal Dexter Fosco asked with some concern: "Only you and Severus..."
"No need." Jon shook his head.
He took a sip of the compound soup in the teapot, then stuck Albus Dumbledore's elderberry wand around his waist, strode down the spiral staircase and out of the principal's office.
...
When Principal Albus Dumbledore arrived in the potions classroom in the basement of the castle, Severus Snape, a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was already waiting for him here.
The two only exchanged glances, and neither spoke.
The two people looked at the potions office in front of them at the same time.
Dumbledore walked to the office of the potions teacher and knocked gently on the door. And Snape took the opportunity to leaned against the wall and hid in the shadows.
"Who!" Horace Slughorn's lazy voice came from the office.
"It's me, Horace." Dumbledore said calmly.
"It turned out to be Albus... After I was discharged from St Mungo, you have never come to see me... Bring me something good..." Slughorn's carefree voice suddenly stopped.
Because when he opened the door of the office, he saw Dumbledore's iconic elder wand, now pointing at him.
"I don't quite understand... Albus..." he stammered.
"I think...but the masquerade should be over, Horace." Dumbledore smiled, and the wand held high was neither released nor lowered.
"What a masquerade..." Slughorn said, quietly grabbing his wand with his right hand—
"Except your weapon (Expelliarmus)!" A cold spell sound suddenly came from one side.
Severus Snape emerged from the shadows, and he snatched Slughorn's wand.
"Oh... well... Severus, you are here too, good evening!" Slughorn smiled suddenly, as if relieved: "Albus, you don't need to think about it, you don't need to vomit. The real agent...I will explain, explain from the beginning, explain everything!"
...
Snape glanced at Dumbledore with some suspicion, because things went smoother than expected.
The fat, bald old man staggered into his office and sat down on his recliner.
"How did you expose the stuff?" he asked gruffly.
"How should I put it...Horace, you have too many loopholes; and very unlucky, just a few days ago, one of your companions betrayed you!" Dumbledore seemed ridiculous. , Said.
The other party patted the wide forehead with that chubby hand, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Can you tell me, then, did I invite you to Hogwarts as a teacher, or Tom invites you to become a Death Eater, Horace?" Dumbledore looked curious, as if not at all. Interrogating a "prisoner", but chatting with a friend.
"Of course I promised you to come to Hogwarts as a teacher." Slughorn said naturally, "It's mainly because I was too unlucky. Just three days after I promised you, a former student came here suddenly. Visit me... and coincidentally, a Death Eater was following her at the time, so..."
"Diana Greengrass?" Dumbledore asked quietly.
"Yes, that's the silly girl." Slughorn nodded: "The Dark Lord had noticed her at the time, but he was too weak to openly attack a Ministry official, so he could only send Someone followed her... but unexpectedly exposed my whereabouts."
"That's it!"
"You know, Tom is very familiar with me, and I know Tom very well... I think you should understand my situation at the time, Albus; I have no choice, I am not so brave to face death; although in my heart I still want to be with you, Albus!" Slughorn defended.
"I can understand, otherwise you wouldn't hide yourself after Tom returns." Dumbledore said lightly, "But you betrayed your student like that?"
"You mean Diana?" Slughorn shrugged, "Yes, I betrayed her, but the dark lord has been eyeing her... I just told the dark lord, she He was making a Horcrux for his daughter, and the Dark Lord is an expert in this area... The Dark Lord sent someone to find her. Under threat and temptation, this silly girl was fooled..."
Dumbledore frowned, but said nothing.
"The goal of the Dark Lord should be your student, Jon Hart, right?" Slughorn said: "I don't know the specifics. Fortunately, he is smarter than Diana. ~EbookFREE.me~ Of course, it could also be that silly girl finally woke up... Anyway, the dark lord’s conspiracy failed, right?"
Slughorn paused, then continued to speak:
"Of course... I also like that kid quite a bit, even though he dug out my biggest secret..."
"...So as soon as I got on the train at Hogwarts and got rid of the Dark Lord's control, I tried to warn him! Diana's daughter who has been utterly insane all day, the face can be seen through Infatuated girl, I knew she had a way to contact that Hart, so I quietly told her the truth..."
Slanting his eyes to see Snape's slightly cold gaze, Slughorn covered his mouth, then lowered his tone: "Of course, I don't deny it. About the Hart news, I told everything I knew. It's all leaked to the Dark Lord...but it's purely for life saving, expedient!"
He hurriedly added: "Moreover, that kid hasn't done anything at all so far, right... there is some credit for me, right?"
