Chapter 123

What are you pretending for?

As soon as he entered Hogwarts, he had vaguely suspected that that person had returned.

Even that person was staying at the back of Quirrell's head, which was wrapped in cloth.

If he dared to show pity for Potter, who knew if it would attract that person's attention?

And any word spoken by this person could not be trusted.

What do you mean it doesn't need to be so cruel to Potter?

It's truly laughable.

Isn't that person famous for being cruel?

He was killed once by that little cub's brother, Harry Potter; how could he possibly look at that little cub with favor?

This might be that person's test.

Wanting to know if he is still loyal?

Ha!

Snape pushed away Quirrell's head, which was leaning in, coldly, and then turned and left the staff table.

He called over the Slytherin Head Girl, who was showing concern.

"I need you to use the Cruciatus Curse on Darren Potter!"

Snape said to this girl from the Greengrass family.

Then he saw the girl's shocked expression.

"This… Professor, I can't… this is Dark Magic… I can't use this kind of magic at school!"

The girl denied it vehemently.

But Snape saw the anger in her eyes, and even a hint of killing intent.

Naive.

Showing killing intent toward a Slytherin Head of House?

If she were facing an enemy, she would already be dead!

"Humph, don't play your tricks; I allow you to use this kind of magic… no, no, no, if no one spreads it, isn't it not illegal?"

Snape said with a mocking smile.

Then, without listening to what Miss Greengrass had to say next, he turned and walked away, but "accidentally" dropped a finger ring before leaving.

Upon seeing Miss Greengrass pick up the ring and reveal an expression of sudden excitement, Snape quietly returned to his office.

In his office, he saw Dumbledore, who should have been in the Great Hall.

"If I remember correctly, the current Headmaster should be eating at the staff table."

Snape narrowed his eyes, his wand in his hand.

Although he didn't think anyone could get this Headmaster's hair to disguise themselves as him.

"A little magic, good morning, Severus."

Dumbledore looked a bit sleepy.

However, his pair of blue eyes remained wise.

He stood in the center of Snape's office, saw that Snape was still in that tense state, shrugged his shoulders, and took out the Elder Wand.

"Alright, it is indeed you, then Dumbledore, what did you come to find me for?"

Snape snorted and put away his wand.

Unless Dumbledore was dead, the Elder Wand couldn't be handed over to anyone else.

"Severus, forgive an old man's pain; I need to enter Slytherin with you to observe Darren receiving his punishment!"

"Bang!"

Snape smashed the table beside him in anger.

He took out his wand and pointed it at Dumbledore, saying angrily: "Dumbledore, what exactly are you trying to do? Don't tell me you want to see that little cub actually be subjected to the Cruciatus Curse and be tortured to death?"

"No, no, no, Severus, you're overthinking it."

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, signaling Snape to put down his wand.

Snape was silent for a while, then put down his wand with hollow eyes.

He said with some bitterness: "Dumbledore, you have always been like this; how do you expect me to trust you?"
