[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Dumbledore opened the door to his office and blinked in surprise when he saw the Potions Professor wrapped in black robes with a gloomy expression.

"Good evening, Severus," Dumbledore said briskly, "The night is beautiful tonight, isn't it?"

He noticed two filled wine glasses floating next to the Potions Master.

Expresslessly, Snape fished a glass out of the air and thrust it roughly into the Headmaster's hand, then grabbed the other.

"I wish you health." The Potions Professor said stiffly, but he just raised the glass and made no move to drink it.

Dumbledore was increasingly surprised.

If he hadn't been too aware of how cautious and powerful the Slytherin dean in front of him was, his first reaction would have been that the other party was controlled by the Imperius Curse.

"Vodka is already a little inappropriate for an old man of my age." Dumbledore said, looking at the liquid rippling in the cup.

"It also contains powerful veritaserum," the Potions Professor added coldly.

"That would be even more inappropriate, I'm afraid." Dumbledore said, dumbfounded. "Severus, my boy, why don't we sit down and talk comfortably?"

"I'm not your child." The Potions Professor said, following the principal into the office and sat down.

Dumbledore placed the glass of strong veritaserum-laced wine on the corner of the table, crossed his fingers into a tower, and said, "Tell me, Severus, what troubles you and makes you do this." Desperately need an answer?"

"I need you to tell me frankly," the Potions Professor re-read the word "frankly." "About Harry Potter, are there any secrets you are hiding from me?"

"Ah, this."

"I have no more contact with that child than you have with him—"

Dumbledore's remaining words were interrupted by the Potions Master's movement - Snape took out his wand and slapped it on the table with a look of boredom.

"I'm not here to listen to prevarications," Snape said, "and I'm not your disciple, so you can just ignore the nonsense that you and I know very well, such as not telling you for your own good, or You can’t all put your eggs in the same basket.”

Dumbledore found the Potions Master more agitated than he had expected, so he became increasingly calm.

"So what do you want to know?" he asked calmly.

"Harry Potter's life experience." Snape said, "Swear that you will tell the truth."

"I swear," said Dumbledore.

He blinked, confused.

"Harry James Potter, the son of James Potter and Lily Potter - is there any problem?"

"It's my turn to ask you."

"Is there anything you're hiding from me about that boy?"

"So what exactly do you want to ask?" Dumbledore sighed and asked him patiently.

"You answer me with questions," Snape said with anger on his face. "You do have something to hide from me about him."

Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said: "About Harry Potter, I did consciously hide some information from you - but I assure you, this concealment is for the sake of the overall situation and for your consideration."

"However, Severus, since you have come to seek answers, I am willing to answer you to the best of my ability."

"For the overall situation... and for me?" Snape chewed on this half of the sentence and sneered.

"You should really worry about this. So... is Harry Potter Lily's son?" the Potions Professor asked, staring at the glass of Veritaserum drink.

"what?"

"I had suspected that the child was not Potter's offspring," the Potions Professor said to himself, "but unfortunately, they are simply carved from the same mold."

"Then there's another possibility." Snape said sadly, "That disgusting scum cheated and exchanged Lily's child——"

"Stop." Dumbledore listened dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help interrupting him.

"I know you have always been at odds with each other, but I thought you could at least trust his feelings for Lily."

"I have never been afraid to speculate with the utmost malice on that thing's humanity - if he has any." Snape hissed, "If he really dares to betray Lily and play with marriage, I'm going to poach him. His grave, his ashes were raised, and everyone with his blood was cursed along the bloodline——"

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore made a "stop" gesture again.

"I have fully felt your hatred. So what made you have such a bizarre idea?"

The Potions Master glared at him.

"Harry Potter is a Parseltongue," he said flatly.

Dumbledore looked at him in surprise.

"The Potter family does not have Slytherin blood, and neither does the Evans family. So either this child is not Potter's blood, or it is not Lily's child."

"I already know that he looks the same as that bastard, and I am very convinced that Lily is loyal to the marriage - so it can only be that the bastard betrayed the marriage, went to fool around with a descendant of Slytherin out of nowhere, and had the audacity to switch. child--"

"Where is Lily's child now?" Snape asked sinisterly, pressing his hand firmly on his wand.

"...Amazing...reasoning." Dumbledore really wanted to take a drink of wine at this moment to suppress his shock.

"Why do you think I would know?" he asked the Potions Master with a wry smile.

Snape took out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it on the table. The small bottle containing dark red liquid rolled in front of Dumbledore.

"Harry Potter's blood." Snape said, "I have tested it, and it is indeed related to Lily."

"so?"

"Potter doesn't have the ability to hide my potions and spells. You must have helped your beloved Potter do something to that child at that time." Snape said decisively, "You are an accomplice. .”

"Ah...this..." Dumbledore found this really difficult to explain.

"I swear to you, before this moment, I really knew nothing about the content of this wonderful reasoning of yours." Dumbledore said, "Severus, have you ever thought of another possibility?" .seven

"what?"

"Harry Potter is indeed the son of James Potter and Lily Potter. Neither of them has betrayed their marriage. But Harry's Parseltongue has another reason."

"What's the reason?" Snape was still looking at the cup of Veritaserum drink from the corner of his eyes.

"Currently I only have a conjecture, and there is no complete evidence to prove it."

"Or you are unwilling to tell me for the time being." Snape stood up with a sneer, "Albus, you'd better come up with a very convincing explanation as soon as possible."

The Potions Master put away his wand and turned towards the door.

"You know, the cornerstone of my service to you is that Harry Potter is Lily's only child."
