In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter - Chapter 517: An Unexpected Meeting

It was quiet in the Headmaster’s office and the calmness Dumbledore displayed made Snape fidget even more.

He didn’t know that Dumbledore had known in advance about Voldemort’s appearance and had even captured two Death Eaters and figured out exactly where this Voldemort had originated.

Snape was genuinely terrified of the situation.

The fact that there had been no news of Voldemort for fifteen years had led the majority of the magical community to believe that he was truly gone from the world, and even Snape himself was half believing it.

At some point in time, he actually had already made many preparations in his mind, if Voldemort really would never appear again, that would not be a bad thing, at least Harry’s safety would be guaranteed, as for himself, in the future he will just honestly be in this castle as the Head of Slytherin, spending the rest of his life like that is not bad either.

But now the Dark Mark was reacting again, which meant that he was going to have to go and fulfil what had been agreed upon between him and Dumbledore earlier.

Snape’s trepidation was not because of fear, he had long ago not cared about the matter of life and death, what he was really worried about was the unpredictable future, Voldemort’s return would mean that the magical world would restart a round of bloodshed, with Harry, as the very centre of the vortex, whether or not he would be able to save his own life in the end, it was something that no one could guarantee.

Dumbledore could obviously see where Snape’s worries lay, but he did not explain the details, because this matter also involved Lily, the entanglement between the two was too complicated, and Dumbledore would not venture to open his mouth without informing Lily in advance and getting her permission.

“I am aware of this matter, Severus, wait for me to think about it and look into it, and I will come to you later if I gain anything and need your help.”

Snape also didn’t think that he could get any solution from Dumbledore right away, he came over in a hurry just to inform Dumbledore about this matter in advance, he believed that Dumbledore would eventually have a way out as long as he got some time.

From beginning to end, Jon silently spectated this scene, he can see that this world Snape and the other world have a significant difference, he does not have that kind of dead air in his eyes, after all, here he still has a goal ahead of him, although this goal makes him both love and hate, but, protecting Harry is his biggest hope that makes him live.

After hearing Dumbledore’s answer, Snape nodded, and then, with no intention of staying long, he turned around and was about to leave the Headmaster’s office.

However, just as he had opened the door and was about to walk out, a witch happened to have just arrived at the door as well, removed her hood from her head, and was about to knock on the door.

At first Snape absent-mindedly didn’t care until he looked up and saw the witch’s face!

And his whole being went completely still.

It was as if a cold storm had blown through and frozen one’s entire body into ice, and his mouth was slightly open as he stared in disbelief at the person in front of him.

Lily, however, didn’t react much, she just frowned, as if she was upset that the way was blocked, and then her right hand, which was hidden in her wide sleeve, already gripping her wand ahead of time as if she had expected something.

“You, you you.”

Snape’s voice was as hoarse as if it had been squeezed hard from his throat, with an incredulous shudder.

His empty, cold eyes revealed an emotion that almost no one had ever seen before, one that was extraordinarily complex, indescribable, and moving.

“Who are you!”

Finally, he asked this question.

At the same time, his excitement at that moment was obvious to anyone, and both Jon and Dumbledore in the Headmaster’s office stood up from their chairs, except that the two stood up for very different purposes.

Jon was standing on his chair, on his tiptoes, trying to get a clearer view of the drama, while Dumbledore was focusing on the unexpected situation that had befallen the two of them, always ready to deal with any bad situations that might occur.

Snape’s body had subconsciously begun to move a little out of sheer excitement.

Of course, he wouldn’t forget Lily’s face, even though the person in front of him was quite different from the witch he remembered from more than ten years ago, both in terms of temperament and appearance, Snape’s brain still told him with unparalleled conviction that he hadn’t recognised the wrong person!

But reason was also reminding him that the real Lily had died long ago, and even that funeral he had secretly attended, seeing the corpse that had never been able to open her eyes.

That’s why he asked the question “Who are you?”

At the same time, he asked this question, he also reached out his trembling hand and subconsciously tried to hold Lily’s shoulder, but before he could carry out his action, a straight wand was already pressed against his head.

“Stupefy.”

The tip of the wand was already poking into Snape’s greasy hair, so naturally, there was no reason why such a spell would be misaligned.

Snape still had that look of disbelief mixed with hidden ecstasy and to a lesser extent suspicious anger on his face before he passed out.

“Plop!”

His body fell to the floor, and Lily, who had done this, simply stepped over him with an expressionless face and walked into the Headmaster’s office.

Jon, who had watched this for some time, smacked his lips; he didn’t know whether to lament the fact that the dog licker (simp) was not going to die, or whether to feel sorry for Snape’s tragedy.

The expression on Dumbledore’s face was more one of helplessness, but he didn’t preach anything to Lily about this action, she had the right to do so even if she had just killed Snape.

Lily herself, on the other hand, acted as if she was treating the incident as if it hadn’t happened, and went to Dumbledore’s desk, placing down a box filled with a pile of golden shards.

After seeing the pile of familiar-looking shards, Jon and Dumbledore’s attention was instantly diverted to it.

“You have succeeded?”

Jon pulled something like half a hand of a pocket watch out of the pile of shards.

Lily nodded and said.

“As you said, I went to that forest in Albania, and I did find some signs of dark magic left behind in it, and I tried to destroy this time-turner in those locations separately, and I finally succeeded this afternoon when the sun was close to setting.”

After listening to her narration, Jon couldn’t help but relax quite a bit in his heart.

Although the whereabouts of the golden cup were still unknown, at least this time-turner that helped Voldemort to bridge the two worlds was destroyed, and the rest of destroying all the Horcruxes thing is just for the sake of insurance to prevent Voldemort from having any more hidden means.

Afterwards, Jon also gave Lily an account of their journey today, and now their goal couldn’t be clearer.

That was to find the Hufflepuff golden cup that had been resurfacing in the magical world under the name of Voldemort himself!
