"I choose A, Severus Snape," Dumbledore said.
The moment his voice fell, Snape, standing outside, had a ghost-like expression.
There was a strange feeling, like a loyal subordinate being betrayed by his own master.
In his heart, he was probably already cursing Dumbledore.
What about trust?
What about believing him completely?
Were those all lies?
As expected of Dumbledore.
His words had always been convincing.
Now, it seemed his true intentions were exposed.
Snape's expressionless face turned even colder, a layer of frost settling over it. He was clearly dissatisfied with Dumbledore's choice.
The others were also stunned.
No one understood why Dumbledore would think that Snape would be the one to kill him.
It simply did not seem possible.
But the next moment, the system gave its answer.
[Live Broadcast Q&A System]
"Dumbledore's answer is correct. Do you wish to view the analysis?"
The moment these words appeared, Snape's expression froze.
His body stiffened slightly.
He was shocked.
And unsettled.
Professor McGonagall, Gilderoy Lockhart, and Cedric Diggory all turned to look at him.
Three pairs of eyes focused on him at once.
Their gazes were strange.
At least, that was how Snape felt.
As if they were thinking that he was that kind of person.
In this situation, any explanation would be meaningless.
The result had already been confirmed.
Facts spoke louder than words.
"Severus," McGonagall called, but she did not know what to say.
She could not directly question him.
That would only make things worse.
Lockhart and Cedric had already chosen to remain silent.
"Let's continue watching," Snape said calmly, understanding her hesitation.
He did not defend himself.
The answer would come from the analysis.
Perhaps.
At the same time, Dumbledore was also stunned for a moment before quietly saying, "So that is how it is."
Tom Gaunt, on the other hand, looked confused.
Without memories from the future, he did not know who Snape was, nor his connection to anything.
Dumbledore found Tom's reaction slightly amusing.
"View analysis," he said.
As his voice fell, everyone's attention turned to the parchment.
They all wanted to know what could lead Snape, someone so trusted by Dumbledore, to kill him.
"Question: By whose hand did Albus Dumbledore die?"
"A. Severus Snape. After becoming extremely weak due to certain circumstances, Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him when Death Eaters entered Hogwarts. Snape used the Killing Curse on the Astronomy Tower, and Dumbledore fell from the tower. Therefore, option A is correct."
"B. Lord Voldemort. Although Voldemort was the main force behind Dumbledore's death, his fear of Dumbledore prevented him from confronting him directly during that time. Therefore, option B is incorrect."
"C. Harry Potter. One of the key causes of Dumbledore's weakened state was accompanying Harry to a hidden location and drinking a potion. Although Harry witnessed everything, he did not directly cause Dumbledore's death. Therefore, option C is incorrect."
"D. Draco Malfoy. A crucial participant who enabled Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts by repairing the Vanishing Cabinet. However, he was not the one who killed Dumbledore. Therefore, option D is incorrect."
Snape fell silent.
The information revealed was overwhelming.
He had killed Dumbledore.
But only because Dumbledore had asked him to.
That meant Dumbledore had already anticipated everything.
Perhaps even planned it.
Snape knew him well enough to believe that.
If Dumbledore had been gravely injured and near death, then he would certainly use his own death as part of a larger plan.
By having Snape kill him, he could secure Voldemort's trust.
That would allow him to continue working undercover.
And gather more information.
The second point was also clear.
Voldemort had played a major role in orchestrating everything.
His goal had always been the same.
To eliminate Dumbledore.
Once Dumbledore was gone, no one in Britain could stand against him.
Snape continued piecing everything together.
If he learned something important about Voldemort, he would report it.
Dumbledore would then use that information to strengthen Snape's position.
It would benefit the Order of the Phoenix.
And protect Harry Potter.
Because he would never refuse to protect Lily Potter's child.
Then came the third part.
Dumbledore had been seriously injured.
So severely that even a master of potions like Snape could not fully treat him.
That meant Dumbledore had not long to live at that point.
The second detail was even more important.
Dumbledore had willingly drunk a potion prepared by Voldemort.
That could only mean one thing.
There was something extremely important hidden there.
Something that could change the course of the war.
