He will not try to possess Harry again, I am sure of it
"I don't understand
"Lord Voldemort's soul, maimed as it is, cannot bear close contact with a soul like Harry'sLike a tongue on frozen steel, like flesh in flame - "
"Souls? We were talking of minds!"
"In the case of Harry and Lord Voldemort, to speak of one is to speak of the other
Dumbledore glanced around to make sure that they were aloneThey were close by the Forbidden Forest now, but there was no sign of anyone near them
"After you have killed me, Severus - "
"You refuse to tell me everything, yet you expect that small service of me!" snarled Snape, and real anger flared in the thin face now"You take a great deal for granted, Dumbledore! Perhaps I have changed my mind!"
"You gave me your word, SeverusAnd while we are talking about services you owe me, I thought you agreed to keep a close eye on our young Slytherin friend?"
Snape looked angry, mutinous
"Come to my office tonight, Severus, at eleven, and you shall not complain that I have no louis vuitton replica china confidence in you\a133"
They were back in Dumbledore's office, the windows dark, and Fawkes sat silent as Snape sat quite still, as Dumbledore walked around him, talking
"Harry must not know, not until the last moment, not until it is necessary, otherwise how could he have the strength to do what must be done?"
"But what must he do?"
"That is between Harry and meNow listen closely, SeverusThere will come a time - after my death - do not argue, do not interrupt! There will come a time when Lord Voldemort will seem to fear for the life of his snake
"For Nagini?" Snape looked astonishedIf there comes a time when Lord Voldemort stops sending that snake forth to do his bidding, but keeps it safe beside him under magical protection, then, I think, it will be safe to tell Harry
"Tell him what?"
Dumbledore took a deep breath and closed his eyes
"Tell him that on the night Lord Voldemort tried to kill him, when Lily cast her own life between them as a shield, the Killing Curse rebounded upon Lord Voldemort, and a fragment fendi handbag replicas of Voldemort's soul was blasted apart from the whole, and latched itself onto the only living soul left in that collapsed buildingPart of Lord Voldemort lives inside Harry, and it is that which gives him the power of speech with snakes, and a connection with Lord Voldemort's mind that he has never understoodAnd while that fragment of soul, unmissed by Voldemort, remains attached to and protected by Harry, Lord Voldemort cannot die
Harry seemed to be watching the two men from one end of a long tunnel, they were so far away from him, their voices echoing strangely in his ears
"So the boy\a133the boy must die?" asked Snape quite calmly
"And Voldemort himself must do it, Severus
Another long silenceThen Snape said, "I thought\a133all those years\a133that we were protecting him for her
"We have protected him because it has been essential to teach him, to raise him, to let him try his strength," said Dumbledore, his eyes still tight shut"Meanwhile, the connection between them grows ever stronger, a parasitic prada bag with metal handle growthSometimes I have thought he suspects it himselfIf I know him, he will have arranged matters so that when he does set out to meet his death, it will truly mean the end of Voldemort
Dumbledore opened his eyesSnape looked horrified
"You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?"
"Don't be shocked, SeverusHow many men and women have you watched die?"
"Lately, only those whom I could not save," said Snape
"Meaning?"
"I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for youEverything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter's son safeNow you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter - "
"But this is touching, Severus," said Dumbledore seriously"Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?"
"For \ihim\i?" shouted Snape"\iExpecto Patronum!\i"
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doeShe landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the windowDumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and mulberry style bags his eyes were full of tears
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape
And the scene shiftedNow, Harry saw Snape talking to the portrait of Dumbledore behind his desk
"You will have to give Voldemort the correct date of Harry's departure from his aunt and uncle's," said Dumbledore"Not to do so will raise suspicion, when Voldemort believes you so well informedHowever, you must plant the idea of decoys; that, I think, ought to ensure Harry's safetyTry Confunding Mundungus FletcherAnd Severus, if you are forced to take part in the chase, be sure to act your part convincingly\a133I am counting upon you to remain in Lord Voldemort's good books as long as possible, or Hogwarts will be left to the mercy of the Carrows\a133"
Now Snape was head to head with Mundungus in an unfamiliar tavern, Mundungus's face looking curiously blank, Snape frowning in concentration
"You will suggest to the Order of the Phoenix," Snape murmured, "that they use decoysIt's the only thing that might workYou will forget that I have suggested chanel knockoff t
