"But why now after all these years? It's fishy that Dumbledore now decides to give Snape what he's been after. It doesn't make any sense." Mim stated with a sigh. 

"Dumbledore is...eccentric. There must be a reason why he's rehired Slughorn, the question is why. As for Snape, at least we know he won't try to kill Harry." Rowan said, shrugging. He did have a point; Snape oddly had protected Harry during his stay at Hogwarts despite his distaste towards him. Whatever Dumbledore was up to was definitely preplanned.
