Chapter 71 All for the greater good? Dumbledore decides (Ch 71)

Dumbledore appeared, wearing a purple robe and a nightcap with silver stars on his head. He said disapprovingly, “Severus, you shouldn’t say these things to a child. Excessive pursuit of strength will easily lead to loss of one’s mind, and he is just a child!”
Snape’s eyes were empty, but he said in an unexpected tone: “Dumbledore, I am the head of Slytherin! Since Peter York was sorted into Slytherin, it means that he is born with the qualities of Slytherin. Your theory of love may fool the stupid lions of Gryffindor, but it won’t work in Slytherin!”
Dumbledore looked at Snape’s resistance, sighed helplessly, and said, “Voldemort was also gifted. He used magic to trick other children without any instruction before he entered school! And this child now also has unparalleled talent. I just hope he can walk on the right path, instead of going astray like Voldemort.”
Snape sneered, “Dumbledore, in your heart, can Slytherin only be bad people? I never knew that Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest white wizard, also sees Slytherin in this way!”
The office fell silent. Dumbledore said slowly, “Harry will enter Hogwarts in less than two years. Voldemort appeared in the Romanian forest not long ago. I don’t know when he will come back. I don’t want anything to happen. Severus, you may not know that Harry has the same green eyes as Lily…”
“Alright, I won’t get involved in Peter York’s affairs anymore!” Snape showed a painful expression, and then activated the brain occlusion technique. His eyes instantly became empty and his face was cold. He turned to Dumbledore and said, “I will abide by the agreement with you, keep an eye on the brat from the Potter family, and then wait for the opportunity to pay for my sins!”
Seeing Snape’s expression, Dumbledore’s eyes flashed with guilt, and he said: “That’s not what I meant, Severus. Peter York is equally important, but we need to guide him secretly!”
“I have observed this child. He has always been ambivalent about the wizarding world and does not have a strong sense of belonging. You have also heard what he said before. In the future, if such a gifted wizard stands on the opposite side of wizards, he will be ten times more terrifying than Voldemort!”
“So, we not only need to let him experience the wonders of magic, but also deepen his connection with the wizarding world. Doesn’t he get along better with the two Weasley brothers from Gryffindor and Mr. Diggory from Hufflepuff? This is a good sign!”
“When he has more friends in the wizarding world in the future, these close relationships will tie him firmly to the wizarding world! Perhaps he will fall in love with a girl, and then settle down in the wizarding world, or even become a professor at Hogwarts, or an employee of the Ministry of Magic!” Dumbledore clasped his hands together and said with longing.
Snape’s hollow eyes stirred up waves. He looked at the kind-looking old man and said in a cold voice, “Dumbledore, sometimes I think you are more terrifying than the Dark Lord!”
“Sometimes when choosing and choosing, we always have to consider the trade-offs, just for the greater good!” Dumbledore sighed, “Sometimes I even feel that I am old enough and want to retire and have a good rest. But I can never find the right person. As for Peter York, if he is guided well, I believe he will be able to take charge of his own business soon! And the burden on my shoulders will be much lighter!”
Snape was surprised. “I didn’t expect you to have such high expectations for him! Shouldn’t your successor be the savior of the Potter family? Why did you choose a Slytherin?”
Dumbledore shook his head. “I’ve met Harry. He does have some talent compared to other young wizards, but not that outstanding! And he has suffered a lot because of the prophecy. If possible, I hope he can live and study happily instead of suffering any more!”
Snape sneered, “Does that mean Peter, who was born in Slytherin, should bear such a burden?”
Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise, “Severus, you never speak for someone like this. Do you want this child to inherit your legacy?”
Snape shook his head and said with disdain, “This kid has talents in Potions, Charms, Transfiguration and other courses, but he is obviously too ambitious. He relies on his talent and wants to learn everything well! But he forgets that human energy is limited. Before he decides what courses to choose as his future development direction, I will not treat him specially!”
Dumbledore laughed, “Filius gave his notebook to Peter a long time ago, and Minerva is also paying attention to it. It’s very rare that the three of you want to choose him! I’m curious about Peter’s choice.”
…….
Peter didn’t know about the conversation between Dumbledore and Snape, otherwise he would have punched the old bee’s crooked nose again. Did he really think he was a chess piece that could be used? As for the position of Dumbledore’s successor, it should be left to the future savior. He has ambitions, but he is not interested in the magic world. His biggest goal is to pursue the ultimate magic.
At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about points. His points were enough to exchange for a blood fusion opportunity, so he had to consider which magical animal to choose?
First of all, bird-snake blood is the easiest to obtain. As a fan of magical animals, Professor Kettleburn will not give up the opportunity to get close to the phoenix. At that time, he can take this opportunity to see the bird-snake raised by Professor Kettleburn.
He is very greedy for the ability of the bird and snake to change size as he wishes, and this ability should not be underestimated. When facing an enemy, he can turn into a giant and suppress the enemy with overwhelming force; when he becomes small, he can hide in a very small space and avoid being tracked by the enemy!
The big and small Ruyi are both magical powers in mythology! They are very outstanding in attack and life-saving skills.
Back in the dormitory, Alan saw Peter coming back and shouted in a funny way: “Our hero Peter is back! Welcome to bed, do you need your servant Alan to help you change clothes?”
Peter didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, “What are you doing?”
Alan returned to normal, but still a little excited and said, “Of course I celebrate your victory! Come on, I saw your hiding of Butterbeer and Honeydukes candy, hand them over! There’s no class tomorrow, so we can party all night tonight!”
“You shocked everyone tonight. When you were not in the dormitory just now, many classmates came to visit you. Especially the girls, they were crazy about you! A sophomore girl almost stole your underwear in the bathroom, and was caught by Flora!” Alan said with a teasing look on his face.
