"Professor, although I know that asking this question again and again does not make much sense after all. But... do you really think that that mirror can take you to Harry's... Well, I mean, Lily Ivan In front of Si?"
At this time, Maka had already sat down at the dining table in the living room. Facing Snape, who always looked indifferent, he really didn't know how to speak.
But in this world, the one who is closest to the current Grindelwald is probably Snape. No matter what clues Maka wanted to get, she had to work hard on Snape.
The final analysis of this incident was that he was helpless with the floor-to-ceiling round mirror. If there is a more likely solution, the starting point would naturally be the round mirror itself.
However, when Snape heard him ask this, he remained silent. Obviously, isn't Snape betting all his money on that mirror now? Even if Maka asked again and again, he had no intention of telling the reason.
"Professor..." Seeing this, Maka could only sigh, "Since you don't want to say it, let me say it first! You can listen to it and see if what I say makes sense... First of all, what is Grindelwald's purpose? You know that, right?"
Snape hesitated slightly, probably thinking that it would be okay to answer this kind of question, so he nodded simply.
"Yes," Maka also nodded, "He wanted to follow in the footsteps of Professor Dumbledore, so he got the mirror from somewhere and wanted to use it in front of the body of his old friend Dumbledore. From what I understand, he thought the mirror would open a passage to where Dumbledore was."
This is a conclusion drawn based on Greenwald’s words and deeds at the time. In fact, it is not the truth. But when Maka saw Snape nod again, he felt even more determined.
"Grindelwald thinks so," Maca confirmed silently, but then continued, "Although I'm not sure whether he is right yet - because the situation of the mirror is quite special, if you don't see it in person Judging from the results, no one can make a conclusion. So, I’ll just assume he’s right..."
"Put this matter aside for now," he shook his head and suddenly changed his subject, "Professor, do you still remember the materialized memory that Professor Dumbledore asked you to give to me before?"
Seeing Maka changing the topic as she spoke, Snape couldn't help but have some questions.
"Remember, what happened?" He said calmly.
When he said these words, Snape's expression did not change at all. It was obvious that he had made up his mind and was determined not to be disturbed by any words.
"I saw Professor Dumbledore in the pensieve," Maka thought about it for a moment, then suddenly confessed, "I didn't see Professor Dumbledore in my memory, but him in person!"
"Oh?" Snape's eyes narrowed when he heard these words.
Of course he was not surprised that Maka met Dumbledore, but because since Maka had already seen Dumbledore, she must have also seen the mysterious place where Dumbledore went.
You know, when Snape gave that memory to Maka, Dumbledore was already dead.
After all, when Dumbledore died, no one else was present except Snape himself. If anyone knows the most about Dumbledore's death, Snape is the only one in the world.
"Have you really met Dumbledore?" he said hesitantly, "in person?"
Knowing that Snape was always cautious, it was naturally impossible for him to believe such one-sided words. Although Maka had prepared a way to deal with this, but now that she was about to implement it, she was inevitably hesitant.
Like Snape, Maka is also a very cautious person. If he is asked to make some extremely risky moves, it will undoubtedly put him in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a while, Maka breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes silently, collected his thoughts, and then opened his eyes again and looked at Snape.
"Professor, I have unlocked that part of the memory. You..." He paused for a moment and then said again, "You can read it yourself."
Once Occlumency is practiced to a deep level, it can isolate a specific part of the memory, and even materialize it into a white floc and take it out for preservation.
This kind of magic is not easy to learn, let alone master, but it is very practical. Maka started practicing a long time ago and has continued until now. It can be said that she is quite good.
However, Snape himself was a master of Occlumency and Legilimency. In these two magics, his abilities were not much worse than Dumbledore's.
Allowing such a master to read his own memory, even if it only unlocks a small part, Maka will have to bear a lot of risks. To be honest, there are too many contents in his memory that cannot be exposed.
Regarding Maka's actions, Snape finally no longer looked like a dead man. He looked at Maka in surprise, but he didn't take action for a long time. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"professor?"
Now that he had said it out loud, Maka no longer hesitated, but instead urged her a little.
"I see..." Probably because the desire for confirmation outweighed some of the hesitation in his heart, Snape stopped delaying and took out his wand and pointed at Maka, "Legilimency."
The moment Snape cast the spell, Maka's use of Occlumency reached its peak. Just as he was worried, although he still trusted Snape, he had to be careful once the relationship got too involved.
But he also knew that gaining Snape's trust and assistance was indispensable in this incident. There were too few clues about Grindelwald and the round mirror, and he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
As Maka's expression trembled, Snape's spirit immediately invaded his mind, and a memory soon revealed itself in Snape's consciousness.
For this master of memory spells, traces of tampering can naturally be distinguished in a very subtle way. When Snape looked at that memory in detail, the two people's minds were immediately disconnected.
While Snape was frowning in thought for a moment, Maka secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Letting others look through your memories at will, even with your consent, is unlikely to be a good experience.
At the moment, he could only be grateful that he had taken the initiative to befriend Snape because of his admiration for magical knowledge. It was actually the most correct decision he had made so far.
To be honest, although Snape cannot be said to be a bad person, he is definitely not a good person. From the beginning, he felt that he and Snape were really similar in some aspects, so he also understood very well that for people like them, trust is really very precious and rare.
As Snape put away his wand and thought alone, time passed slowly. One of the two people kept silent and weighed the situation, while the other calmed down and waited silently. In fact, they both knew in their hearts that a final conclusion would inevitably be reached today.
By now, Maka had said everything she needed to say, and what she wanted to convey to Snape had been conveyed accurately. What this conclusion will be after that depends entirely on Snape's judgment.
A long time passed, and although it was still dark, it felt like a whole night had passed to Maka. Finally, Snape raised his head and returned his gaze to Maka's face.
"McClane... do you know about the Mirror of Erised?"
Maka was slightly stunned by Snape's sudden question.
Of course he knew that this mirror had been stored in Hogwarts Castle, but because of his influence, the sunglasses that were supposed to appear in the first year never appeared.
Yes, when he heard Snape mention the Mirror of Erised, he immediately compared it with the mysterious round mirror.
These two are both magic floor mirrors. If we had to connect them, there might be many similarities. But if we talk about the differences, there are even more.
The magical effect of the Mirror of Erised is very unique, and it is also dangerous to a certain extent, because it can reveal a person's most urgent and intense desires. If a weak-minded person stands in front of it, he may even fall into infinite confusion and madness.
But compared with the floor-to-ceiling round mirror made by Greenwald, it is really not worth mentioning.
In confusion, Maka nodded towards Snape, indicating that the other person could continue.
"Greenwald once told me that the Mirror of Erised stored in Hogwarts is an imitation made by Rowena Ravenclaw based on another ancient mirror with powerful magic." Snape said softly. Said, "Moreover, Ravenclaw used this imitation to set an unbreakable seal for the powerful ancient magic mirror."
"Rowner Ravenclaw?"
Maka never expected that he would hear this extremely familiar name to him again under such circumstances. Who would have guessed that the mysterious floor-to-ceiling round mirror would actually be related to Ravenclaw again
The incident at the Bewitched Monument has not yet been completely resolved, and now the floor-to-ceiling round mirror was eagerly placed in front of him. Both of these can be said to be the source of a huge disaster and the root of so-called evil.
It seems that this Rowena Ravenclaw... no, maybe she should be called Rowena Mira, one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the founder of Ravenclaw Academy, how come Isn't it clearly related to these major disasters
Maka's expression at this moment changed several times in an instant, and her heart became even more uneasy.
