Snape stared at the smiling Amosta with his unique sharp eyes, trying to see through the nature of that confidence. However, Amosta always responded to his inspection with great calmness, unable to see Showing no sign of cowardice.
When was the last time you saw Amosta take action?
Snape couldn't help but start thinking about this problem. It didn't take him much time to remember that it should be the night before Christmas Eve in the fifth grade. That night, Amosta had a fight with a dark witch of unknown origin in the Forbidden Forest. He was so angry that he even touched hands with Dumbledore after he returned.
At that time, he was preoccupied with saving Amosta from Dumbledore, and did not think much about how incredible it was that a fifth-year wizard could block Albus Dumbledore's disarming spell. However, when he came to his senses later and wanted to find out Amosta's true dueling level, he found that it was already difficult to force him to go all out.
When this kid was in fifth grade...
Snape moved his lips and suddenly realized that he had not seen Amosta do anything in six years.
Six years - this is already a very long period of time for a talented young wizard, enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in his strength.
But--
Snape's black eyes moved, and he held his breath, still unable to understand. Amosta dared to claim that only Dumbledore could make him take him seriously... Was this a bit too arrogant?
No, Snape shook his head in his mind and rejected this opinion.
He watched this child grow up and knew that Amosta was not a person who could not recognize himself. Moreover, Amosta had been wandering around in the past few years, and he had a better understanding of what the magic world was like today than he had always retained. He wanted clarity at Hogwarts.
"Perhaps you have abandoned the virtues of humility and prudence nowadays, Amosta--"
Snape narrowed his dark eyes, and as he whispered, a gloomy and cool magic power was sweeping out of his body.
"But since you think that dangerous criminals like Black are not worthy of your serious treatment, as your dean, I think it is necessary for me to make you realize again what an unscrupulous dark wizard can do."
"You want to fight me, Professor Snape?"
Amosta twisted his eyebrows strangely, "I thought you knew I'm not the kind of person to talk nonsense."
"I used to think so, Amosta, but now I might have to change my mind."
The rows of flickering candlelight on the ceiling began to tremble violently under the deep magic, and the tip of a birch wand quietly emerged from Snape's broad sleeves.
"Take out your wand, Amosta, and try to defeat me. If you can't do it, take your confidence and leave far away from here..." Snape's tone wavered for a moment, but then it was the same as his eyes. All became firm,
"Never come back!"
Dumbledore didn't say a word, and Amosta couldn't see clearly his current expression through a door panel, but it was obvious that he acquiesced in Professor Snape's behavior, and might even want to take advantage of it. Feel your bottom at close range.
Looking at the resolute Professor Snape, Amosta held his forehead and smiled bitterly. He was just spending Halloween with Lupine at his residence. Not only did Sirius Black, whom he had been looking for for a while, suddenly jumped out, but also Professor Snape. You should also pull out the magic wand and judge yourself.
Could it be that I still have Voldemort's cursed aura left in me because I am too close to Lupine, so it resonates with me?
"If you insist on doing this--"
To show respect, Amosta put away his frivolity and regained his composure. His naturally drooping right hand suddenly opened. Before Snape could react, the warmly decorated living room where the two of them were standing had already begun to sway. In the rapid haze, the area expanded dozens of times, and Amosta, who was originally in front of him, also appeared a hundred feet away, and, taking leisurely steps, approached Snape,
"Then, as you wish."
The moment Amosta's voice settled, Snape, who had regained consciousness in a daze, suddenly felt as if he had fallen into deep water. A clear pressure lingered around him. This pressure was so heavy that it made him faint. Feeling suffocated!
The thin figure that was pacing closer a hundred feet away now became tall and insurmountable, and even the rhythmic footsteps conveyed majesty.
This feeling--
There was panic in Snape's eyes, he had experienced it with the Dark Lord!
He may not be the most powerful, but he certainly has no problem calling him the most evil Dark Lord...
Most of the wizarding world has never experienced what it will feel like when you face Voldemort, but Snape, who once followed him, knows that the crushing feeling of powerlessness, fear and despair are deeply rooted in the soul. Such soil makes it impossible for you to muster the courage to resist.
But now, many years later, Snape never dreamed that he would relive this nightmarish fear in another wizard, and this wizard was also his favorite disciple.
At this moment, Snape already believed that Amosta had the strength to face a legendary wizard like Dumbledore, but... he still raised his wand with difficulty. He wanted to test Amosta's ability. cannot...
"Expelliarmus!"
With a sharp cry, the red beam shot out from the tip of the staff spanned a distance of eighty feet in the blink of an eye, grazing Amosta's cheek with great accuracy... However, it missed.
Da da da...
The sound of steady and undisturbed footsteps made Snape's eyelids tremble. His test failed... That young man is really no longer the little wizard who was wary of all troubles during the sorting ceremony many years ago!
During the brief moment when he was distracted, the distance between the two had reached fifty feet.
Snape swallowed secretly. He knew that he had to use more powerful magic, but he was worried about it. After squinting his eyes, he raised his wand again and pointed it at Amosta.
Silent spell, upside down golden bell!
Boom!
Amosta made no move to dodge the curse. The milky-white iron armor barrier that appeared out of thin air and had been modified twice did not stick to him. Instead, it unexpectedly appeared five feet in front of Snape. This directly caused Professor Snape to be thrown away by the explosion caused by the collapsing magic power of the Upside Down Curse he released!
Da da da...
The footsteps were still steady, and Snape, who had greasy black hair stuck to his cheeks and looked in a state of embarrassment, got up from the ground. When he looked at Amosta again, he had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Snape knew that he, a genius apprentice, was very good at changing standard spells, but to have the Iron Armor Curse appear directly in front of his opponent across such a distance... He didn't know how it was done, but he knew it. This means that Amosta has the ability to make the armor barrier undergo more complex morphological changes...
The distance between the two people has shortened to fifty feet. From this distance, Snape can clearly see Amosta's expression... Like the deep blue sea, calm without a trace of ripples, but deep and unyielding. There is an overwhelming fear hidden under the bottom of the sea.
A sense of powerlessness arose in Snape's heart. Even before he tried his best, he also knew many profound black magics. Among those magics, some were powerful magics taught by the Dark Lord himself, which had jaw-dropping and terrifying effects.
But Snape never thought about using those magics. First because he didn't want to hurt Amosta, and now because he knew that even if he used them, it would have no effect.
You can see through the pipe - it doesn't mean that you have to fight hard to see the true level of your opponent.
"Remember the magic I taught you, Amosta!"
Sweat streaked across his cheeks. Snape straightened up and gasped slightly, "I warned you, only use it when your life is threatened."
"The Divine Edge is Shadowless--"
Amosta did not stop. He smiled and said, "It is a very powerful offensive magic. I used this spell to kill the red-scaled dragon in the Norwegian Fire Dragon Nature Reserve the year before last."
Snape's face turned dark. If someone digs out this matter one day, his reputation in this life will be...
