Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 245 The Newborn Right Hand

"Li Wei—why are you back?"

Dumbledore pretended nothing had happened and asked with a normal expression.

However, the remains of the oak door were scattered haphazardly on the ground.

The fact that one can remain calm and composed in the face of such a situation is itself problematic.

"What do you say?"

Li Wei responded calmly, but for some reason, Dumbledore and Snape both felt that his words carried a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Strange, so this guy finds it so satisfying to ask others questions?
Snape was on edge, carefully following behind Levi—if the situation weren't so dire, he would probably be laughing right now.

But now, all he wanted to say to Dumbledore was that this really had nothing to do with him.

As for the facts... well... Dumbledore glanced at Snape seemingly casually.

That one glance sent a chill down Snape's spine.

Unlike Li Wei, he knew how cunning Dumbledore was and wouldn't be so reckless in front of him.

However, Snape clearly didn't understand what 'unbridled' meant.

Next, Li Wei, this Chinese man, will teach him what true orthodoxy is.

"I guess you forgot what you were going to say?"

Faced with Livy's question, Dumbledore was still trying to play dumb.

Li Wei walked straight up to him, and Dumbledore made an inviting gesture with his left hand—he thought Li Wei was going to sit down.

The next moment, without Li Wei making any move, the desk that was blocking him and Dumbledore suddenly cracked open and collapsed on both sides with a "thud".

In an instant, Dumbledore's black-gloved right hand was exposed.

Li Wei stepped over the desk and grabbed Dumbledore's right hand—the white-haired old man did not resist, but only showed a pitiful expression.

The dragon-skin glove subtly transformed into a wrist guard, wrapping around Dumbledore's wrist and exposing his charred, withered fingers.

"I asked you to find a Horcrux, but instead you either had to bleed yourself or drink poison, and now you're cursed?"
"At the rate you're going to search, do you think you'll even survive after finding all seven Horcruxes?"

Li Wei's tone remained calm, making it impossible to discern the meaning behind his words.

Dumbledore remained silent, listening intently with his head slightly lowered.

"When did it happen?"

"The day before yesterday, at the old house in Gunter."

"What's the specific time?"

"."

For some reason, Dumbledore didn't seem inclined to answer the question.

His inner intuition told him that Li Wei was about to do something extremely dangerous—so he didn't want to say anything.

"Say something!"

Li Wei suddenly shouted, which startled Snape behind him but didn't frighten Dumbledore.

"I didn't notice—but judging from the shadow of the sun, it should be around 2 p.m.."

Dumbledore's inner embarrassment forced him to comply—these questions were much kinder than Livy's inquiries about the cause of the curse.

"Take me to Gaunt's old house."

“Livy—” Dumbledore looked up at him, his voice barely audible, carrying a helpless attempt to dissuade him.

"what are you up to?"

“This is none of your business—you have betrayed our covenant, Dumbledore. Now is the time for you to mend the rift.”

"I see."

Dumbledore muttered something under his breath, then pulled out his wand and held it out to Levi.

"Snapped!"

As Li Wei grasped his wand, the two vanished instantly amidst the sound of firecrackers exploding.

Snape was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

He stood there, his body stiff beneath his black robe, staring blankly as he replayed everything that had just happened.
When did Dumbledore become like this? Is this still the same White Lord who was always calm and collected, with everything under control?

This had a huge impact on his worldview!

absurd.

Snape found everything absurd.

But after the absurdity came relaxation. Great. Levi knew all this! He joined in!

Even knowing that Dumbledore was afflicted with a fatal curse, Snape was still able to relax. It was as if all his senses had landed from a state of suspension, and the long-accumulated fatigue stopped growing at this moment, bringing a wonderful feeling, like bathing in a warm spring.

Snape swayed slightly, almost collapsing to the ground.

But the next moment, with a "snap," Li Wei and Dumbledore appeared precisely in their original positions.

Snape immediately tensed up.

He was about to speak when Li Wei turned and left the office, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Let's talk about it later, I'm very busy right now."

"Hey—Li Wei! Where are you going?"

Snape, no longer caring about arguing with Levi, hurriedly tried to call out to him, but Levi's figure quickly disappeared, completely ignoring him.

All right!!!

Snape gritted his teeth and turned to look at Dumbledore—at this moment, he really wanted to vent all his confusion, doubt, and anger on the old man, just like Livy had done before.

But he dared not.

Snape felt that Levi knew absolutely nothing about Dumbledore.

That's why he doesn't understand reverence.

But Snape understood.

This old man, who was adept at understanding people's hearts, had completely taken control of him.

"What is he going to do, Dumbledore?"

"Snape asked softly."

Dumbledore sighed and said nothing.

Snape didn't urge him, but simply waited quietly.

After a long and suppressed wait, Dumbledore finally spoke softly:

“I’m afraid he’s going to do something incredibly crazy and risky—but as he said, I was the one who broke the covenant of not hiding things from each other first, so I have no right to stop him.”

Snape knew that Dumbledore wouldn't tell him what Levi was going to do.

After this ordeal, he recovered and couldn't help but complain to Dumbledore:

"Am I still worthy of your trust? You told Li Wei about Horcruxes and the Dark Lord last year. Why didn't you inform me of this?"

If I had known sooner, I wouldn't have refused to give him any assistance at all.

This is a lie.

Dumbledore gave Snape a strange look, then remembered that it was because Snape told Levi about his injury that all of this had happened, and said irritably:
"He invited you to explore the Horcrux location we discovered, but you just closed the door without saying a word. How are we supposed to notify you?"

"."

Snape remembered.

After he broke off relations with Li Wei, Li Wei did indeed come to see him, inviting him to a place—so it was to explore Horcruxes?!
Why didn't he explain it clearly!

"Ok."

Snape said something dryly, not in a hurry to leave—everything that had just happened was too fast and too chaotic, and he instinctively wanted to say something to Dumbledore.

But Dumbledore waved his hand weakly at him, hid his right hand under the table, and lowered his head to hide the shock he couldn't conceal in his eyes.

This learned and powerful old man, who had lived for over a hundred years, once again saw something he could not understand.

At this moment, his right hand, covered in scorch marks, is being reborn!
