Chapter 368 366. What is a fifteen-year-old boy thinking?
"boom!"
Snape's hand suddenly slapped towards the desk, and right in the palm of his hand was that very radiant magic wand that had been maintained!
However, after saying the sentence that was almost 100% sure to anger Snape, Barty Jr. also moved faster.
Before Snape had just grabbed his wand and raised his hand, he also stretched out a hand and grabbed Snape's wrist.
Snape is a veritable homeboy.
Unless Voldemort had special orders for him, he rarely left Hogwarts, and even when there were no classes, he rarely even went out of his office.
But besides his job in school, Barty Jr. has also been doing things for Voldemort outside of school. Compared with Snape, who has hardly exercised, he himself appears stronger and more powerful.
Therefore, Snape's face was livid, and he firmly grasped the wand and wanted to lift it up, but he couldn't break free from Barty Jr.'s palm.
"Don't be so irritable Severus, I didn't mean to mock you, these are all the truth, right? Before talking about the real thing, we always have to talk about some relevant issues to guide."
Just when Barty was smiling, as if he had completely grasped Snape.
Suddenly, this middle-aged man who had been staying isolated all this time swung his left fist!
Little Barty obviously didn't react to this. He never thought that Snape would directly give up the means of casting spells and use the most basic hand-to-hand combat to fight back.
So he firmly swallowed Snape's fist that didn't hold back at all, and when his head was twisted to one side by that force, the smile on his face just turned into fright.
This punch directly hit Barty Jr.'s temple, making him feel black in an instant. If Snape's hand was stronger, he would definitely pass out on the spot.
But even so, it made him unable to control Snape's hand holding the wand. Surprisingly, after being able to use magic, Snape gave up swinging the wand, but continued to attack the wand he had already had. Little Batty who fell to the ground came with a punch!
He pursed his pale lips, and there was not much anger on that pale face, but the emotion revealed in those eyes was enough to make everyone who looked at him feel that coldness.
"enough!"
Snape didn't make a sound, but continued to raise his fist against Barty Jr.'s bruised face, just like what he expressed at the beginning, it seemed that he really didn't even bother to communicate with him.
"Enough is enough!"
What greeted him was still a heavy punch.
"Enough is enough!"
Little Barty finally couldn't take it anymore, he exploded with strength, and pushed Snape away, his face was full of ferocity!
"Master has done enough for your request! Do you know how many people we have died in vain these years in order not to kill that woman! What's wrong! I can't even mention her!"
As if due to some excessive force, Snape's breathing was much rougher than before.
But he still didn't look up at Barty Jr., as if he would dirty his eyes that way.
Just adjusted the robe on his body, and then sat back in his seat again.
"roll."
His voice was cold, but Barty Jr. didn't make any move to leave.
The young professor who looked very embarrassed on his face also panted and straightened his robe, and continued to sit back opposite Snape. That fake smile, that expressionless look, it would be the same as if the beating just now hadn't happened at all.
"Even if Jon Green is a genius, he is only fifteen years old."
Ignoring Snape's dismissal, Barty Jr. continued the topic that was interrupted just now.
"After learning about his deeds last year, I immediately retrieved all the information about him, and personally took someone to the orphanage where he used to live, and used Dementor to extract The memories of the children who lived with him confirm that he has not falsified in age, and that everything that has been exposed to magic before is traceable."
"Following the information of that orphanage, I also found his biological father. His mother died seven years ago, and when I found him, the only remaining biological father was also killed by a mudblood. The thing called "heroin" is not far from death. I carefully checked all the memories about his biological father, and confirmed that Jon Green is his real son, not a casually forged identity. "
Hearing the business, Snape was not as extreme as before. He raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was still as cold.
"You have investigated so much, just to confirm his true identity?"
"This is very important, Severus."
Little Barty leaned back in the chair nonchalantly, gently turning the wand with his thumb and index finger.
"If you knew all the things this little Mudblood did at the beginning, and finally told you that he was only twelve years old when he started doing it, and he is only fifteen years old now, would you believe it? ?”
Snape remained silent, but by not speaking, it was equivalent to showing an attitude.
"You must have expressed doubts at the first moment, right? Of course geniuses will appear, and there have been countless talented wizards in the magic world, but this little Mudblood's performance is a bit too genius, right?"
Jr. Barty calmly expressed the thoughts that normal people should have.
"After learning that he killed Bella and Rodolphus, and that he was the one who saved the Mudbloods in the first and second grades last year, I thought it was Dumbledore who secretly assigned a powerful wizard Pretending to be a student."
"Under that immature and youthful appearance, there is a good chance that there is a wrinkled and white-haired old man. Only in this way can a wizard with enough magic power accumulate and experience magic to defeat Bella and Rodolphus one by one. Dumbledore Ordered him to drink Polyjuice Potion, pretended to be a young boy, but did so many amazing things, just wanted to discredit the master, so that everyone could see, 'Look, there is no need for Deng at all. Bullido himself came out, a little Mudblood who just got his wand at school and hasn't been chanting spells for as long as we have, and made the greatest gentleman feel ashamed.'”
"But later, after thoroughly investigating Jon Green's background and finding several loopholes that could not be explained at all, I rejected the fact that this little Mudblood who has caused us a lot of trouble in recent years is a powerful wizard with means. Possibility of pretending."
The relationship between the two is very difficult, but at least the camp they are in now is unified. Understanding and solving Jon is a problem that they must think about together.
Little Batty's gaze also became extraordinarily dignified.
"First, if he was really an adult wizard pretending to be, then it was impossible for him to lurk in Hogwarts castle for so long."
"You and I both know that the age magic here is arranged by the master himself. If Dumbledore wants to avoid it, unless he comes here, otherwise, without knowing the core rune, even with his transfiguration, there is no way to hide it from the master. Therefore, he also tried to let adult wizards pretend to be students to lurk in before, but they all failed. Unless his strength has completely surpassed that of his master, he would not be able to counteract the magic of age, and if this is the case, Then he doesn't need to send people to lurk, and he doesn't need to run around like a lost dog."
"Second, the election of the Goblet of Fire."
"There is no problem with that cup, and before it was taken out, it has been properly kept. Unless the Triwizard Tournament restarts, no one will be able to touch it. After the Goblet of Fire was taken out, it has always been kept by Our people took over, and I can be sure that no one has tampered with it. That is to say, in this case, it will only select students from participating schools as warriors according to the rules. If Jon Green is another If someone pretends to be someone, then it is absolutely impossible for him to be selected with this name, and the magic on the Goblet of Fire will deny his eligibility for the competition."
"third."
Little Barty narrowed his eyes.
"I specifically asked the master about this issue, and he told me that Jon Green was not pretended by any other wizard, he is himself, and he can be sure of this."
Snape just looked at him.
"So? You confirmed that he is himself, a fifteen-year-old kid who has only been exposed to magic for less than four years. What enlightenment does this bring us?"
Little Barty raised his legs, and he asked again.
"Still the same question, what were you doing when you were fifteen, Severus?"
The gaze in Snape's eyes became dangerous again, his hand was already approaching the wand on the desk, and Barty Jr. seemed to have noticed his behavior, and quickly went on to the next sentence.
"Your heart is so fragile. As I said, this is just a common problem, and there is no intention to ridicule or insult that woman."
He continued to ask with serious eyes.
"We can also change the question. What should all children in the world think about when they are fifteen years old? No matter whether they are talented or mediocre."
Snape was silent for a moment, then he said coldly.
"Shouldn't you find a fifteen-year-old student to ask this question?"
Little Barty shook the wand in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face again.
"In the first week of school, when the first competition was in progress, do you know how many long-lost, impatient couples I met in the garden behind the castle? Guess most of them were what age?"
Everyone is a smart person, since Barty Jr. has already said so much, it is naturally impossible for Snape not to understand what he wants to express.
"Do you think they are the same as Jon Green?"
"Why not? I don't deny that the little Mudblood is very talented. Maybe there is a natural genius in magic, but it's impossible for a person to have experience and emotion from birth?"
Little Barty looked into Snape's eyes, and there was no hint of a joke in that look.
"A fifteen-year-old boy is at the time when he is full of interest in the opposite sex. It's not a matter of talent or not. Just like you, Severus, don't look at me like that. Okay, I'll change someone else." .Just like me, when I was in this grade, I had three girlfriends in school, and the master, I remember he once chatted with us servants, when he just became a senior, the people around him The female students who are interested in him have never stopped, and he has rewarded some of them."
"It's human, isn't it? Any fifteen-year-old boy can't avoid the initiative of the opposite sex, unless he has been exposed to it since he was a child, or he is not interested in women, but obviously in what I learned about Joe In Eng Green's information, he does not meet the above two."
After he finished speaking, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then Snape directly asked the most fundamental question.
"how do you want to do it?"
Little Barty said softly with a smile on his face.
"According to the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament in previous years, on Christmas night, we will hold a grand ball, and during this ball, every student warrior is required to bring a dance partner of his own to lead the dance. "
"In that charming atmosphere, soft music and dance, after the lead dance, a fifteen-year-old boy's female partner asks him for a kiss. Do you think he will refuse?"
Snape scowled.
"I don't think Dumbledore will let his students come into contact with female students who have a relationship with us."
"Of course I will make arrangements for this." Little Barty crossed his fingers on the tip of his nose, which made his eyes look extremely dark and treacherous, "I have talked with you so much, but I just want to tell you one thing. Will you Wouldn't it be possible to concoct a potion that has no color and taste, has a certain degree of adhesion, and as long as it is swallowed, it will surely die?"
Snape didn't answer right away, he stared at little Barty's horrific face that was still slapped by him, as if speechless to this man's cruelty.
It was a long time before he spoke again.
"Does the master know your plan?"
"Before the master left the castle, I reported it to him. He didn't agree or refuse. He just told me about the castle. It's up to you and me to decide."
This answer was a bit confusing, at least Snape didn't hear what kind of attitude Voldemort had towards Little Barty's next action.
But after hearing what Barty Jr. said, his gaze became hollow and cold again.
"Even if the potions that exist today don't have such effects, I can still prepare them for you."
Hearing Snape's answer, Barty Jr. still had that gentle smile on his face.
It's just the arc of the corner of the mouth, which makes people shudder in the candlelight.
