"Snape, you dare to come here." The insect tail stared at Snape fiercely.

"Word Tail, I'm not here to see you." Snape stared at Word Tail, "You who only hide behind others dare to provoke me head-on? Maybe the Dark King gave Doan a few courages?"

The bug tail staggered back a step back. They were no longer the little wizards in Hogwarts. Are there any more James, Sirius and Lupin to support him.

"You are a traitor, Snape." Worm Tail said hatefully.

"I am a traitor or not, the Dark Lord has his own conclusion. The insect tail, you don't have to worry about this." Snape said, "When it comes to the traitor, James can't believe that you betrayed them before he died, the insect tail." Snape showed a mean smile.

"You don't have to worry about this either, Severus." Baddy Crouch came over, "Although the worm tail is an unreliable traitor, I don't think you are innocent, Severus."

"It turned out to be Batty Crouch." Snape's smile became more obvious. "I thought you were trying to sneak into the Wizard Mental Hospital to kill your father."

"You don't have to worry about this, Snape." Batty Crouch growled, "I don't believe you, Snape."

"Well, why don't you believe me?" Snape said.

"There are a hundred reasons!" said Baddy Crouch, "Where did you start? Where did you start when the Dark Lord lost power? Why didn't you make any effort to find him after he disappeared? What did you do in the past few years? Why did you prevent the Dark Lord from getting the Magic Stone? Why didn't you come immediately after the Dark Lord was resurrected? Why didn't you come when the Dark Lord summoned the Death Eaters? And why did Snape and Harry Potter still live? He has several years to deal with it at your own risk!"

Snape smiled.

"Do you really think the Dark Lord hasn't asked me every question? Do you really think if I didn't give a satisfactory answer, can I still sit here and talk to you?"

"I know he believes in you, but-"

"Do you think he got it wrong? Or did I actually cheat him? He actually teased the Dark King, the greatest wizard in human history, and the most accomplished master of God-taking and pursuing thoughts in the world?"

Batty Crouch stopped talking.

Snape continued, "You asked, where am I when the Dark Lord lost his power? I was at the Hogwarts Magic School where he ordered me to go, because he wanted me to secretly monitor Albus Dumbledore. I guess you must know that I accepted the teaching position by following the Dark Lord's orders?"

"You also ask why I didn't try to find him when he disappeared. I didn't look for him. Like Everly, Yaxley, the Carros, Greybock, Lucius, and many others. I thought he was done. I was not proud of it. I did something wrong, but that's the case... Now he's back, but something went wrong. Lucius and the others betrayed, but I didn't."

"He still has me!" said Batty Crouch excitedly, "I am always loyal to the Dark Lord!"

"Yes, yes. Spiritually awesome." Snape said in a dry voice, "Of course, I think you did a very bad job except for putting some effort into the Resurrection of the Dark Lord."

"Do you want to duel with me? Snape?" Batty Crouch said angrily.

"I didn't mean to provoke. Batty little." Snape pursed his lips," but that's the case."

Batty Crouch laughed furiously, "Very good, I did a bad job. So what contribution do you have to the Dark King? Stay in Hogwarts and secretly monitor Dumbledore?"

Snape said, "At least the Dark Lord is glad I did not give up my teaching position. When he comes back, I can provide him with information about Dumbledore for fifteen years. This is a valuable gift for meeting..."

"But you stayed-"

"Yes, Batty, I stayed." Snape said, showing impatience for the first time. "I have a comfortable job, why bother to go to Azkaban to go to jail? I don't have a dad who is a key position in the Ministry of Magic. If I enter Azkaban, no one will take me out. I repeat again: The Dark King didn't blame me for staying. I don't understand why you are talking nonsense. Have you been in Azkaban for many years? I think Bellatrix and others are more qualified to condemn me than you."

"But they betrayed!"

"So you, a guy who has been comfortable at home for fifteen years, can come and blame me?"

Little Barty Crouch's lips were stammering, as if he had swallowed a particularly unpalatable dose of medicine.

"But when he came back, you didn't come back immediately, and when you felt the black magic mark burning, you didn't run to him quickly-"

"Yes. I went back two hours later. I followed Dumbledore's instructions."

"Those who obey Dumbledore-" she said furiously.

"Think about it!" Snape showed impatient again, "Think about it! I waited for two hours, in just two hours, and I promised that I could continue to stay in Hogwarts as a spy! I made Dumbledore think that I did this by following his instructions when I returned to the Dark Lord, so that I could continue to report Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix! Think about it, Little Barty, during those months, the Dark Demon Mark became clearer and clearer, and I knew that he would definitely come back, and all the Death Eaters knew! I had enough time to consider where I would go and plan what I should do next, such as finding a new master like Lucius and the others, right?"

"You dare!"

"Why don't I dare? Lucius and the others dare, and I haven't seen you to eliminate those traitors." Snape looked at Batty Crouch with contempt, "I am loyal to the Dark Lord, not your follower, you are not qualified to yell at me."

Snape continued: "I explained to the Dark Lord that I have always been loyal to him, even though Dumbledore thought I was his man. After listening to my explanation, the Dark Lord's dissatisfaction due to my late departure disappeared without a trace. Yes, the Dark Lord thought I had left him forever like Lucius and the others, but he was wrong."

"But what role did you do?" asked Barty Crouch sarcastically, "What useful information did we get from you?"

"My intelligence was directly passed to the Dark Lord," said Snape. "Since he didn't tell you them-"

"He will tell me everything!" Little Barty Crouch immediately became furious, "He said I am the most loyal and reliable person he is-"

"Is that?" Snape said, slightly changing his tone and expressed disbelief. "After he can't even do something as simple as winning over the giant, will he still say so?"

"That's not my fault!" said Batty Crouch, "that guy and the traitors killed all the giants."

"The Dark Lord won't listen to excuses. Little Batty, he only values ​​the results." Snape sneered, "I don't have time to play Q&A with you anymore. Now, please get out of the way. I'm going to find the Dark Lord. I have important information to report to him."

Silver lies in bed and falls asleep. He is too tired lately. He is covered with a daily newspaper of the Prophet, with the title on it-

Sclinger took office as principal of Hogwarts.

Most of the front pages were occupied by large black and white photos of a man, with thick lion hair and a savage and fierce face. The photos were moving - the man was waving to the ceiling.

Rufus Sclinger, former director of the Aurors office of the Ministry of Magic, replaced Dolores Umbridge as the teacher of the Dark Magic Defense Arts at Hogwarts and also served as the principal of Hogwarts. This appointment was widely and warmly welcomed by the wizarding community, because Sclinger has always been known for his tough style and people believe that he can bring new moments to Hogwarts. However, after a brief meeting with former Hogwarts principal Albus Dumbledore, there were rumors that they parted due to disagreements.

Sclinger admitted to meeting Dumbledore, but he refused to reveal the topic they discussed.

It was recently revealed that senior Hogwarts investigator Dolores Umbridge had arbitrarily mobilized Auror to attempt to capture the guard of Hogwarts' hunting ground, Ruber Hager, and injured Hogwarts's deformation class teacher and Gryffindor dean Minerva McGonagall. The reporter interviewed Sclinger on this matter.

"I have no say in this," Sklinger said. "The Ministry of Magic will naturally deal with the issue with Umbridge. I can only guarantee that Umbridge will no longer be in Hogwarts during my term."

"I will take more effective measures to protect the children in Hogwarts to grow safer. Of course, as a teacher in the Black Magic Defense Arts class, I am also happy to teach children some ways to protect themselves, rather than reciting the definition, influence and significance of the Black Magic Defense Arts..."

The dormitory door was pushed open, it was Michael.
