“As you’d thought, the Dark Lord was delighted to know that the previous headmasters’ portraits are bound to serve the headmaster in charge. He relies on you as a source of information about the Order,” Severus said to Dumbledore’s portrait. “He never thought it could be the other way around: that I would be serving a portrait.”
“Very good, Severus,” the painted Dumbledore answered. “This will give us a certain advantage.”
