Chapter 1293

"You believe what you hear? He has always been very wary of me.

Because I once used Veritaserum on him, and I've also used Legilimency on him. How could he respect me?

The only thing he respects is my identity as a professor teaching at Hogwarts. Didn't you know we fought last year?

For the Dark Lord's provocation mission, Darren Potter almost killed me in the office.

Fortunately, I had foreseen it, and I took Felix Felicis; otherwise, what you would be seeing now is my corpse!"

"Then you didn't arrive there in advance when the Dark Lord summoned the Death Eaters."

"I think I have told the Dark Lord many times that the Dark Mark had been burning for a long time. I was only doing it to gain Dumbledore's trust; otherwise, I would have run away long ago.

I arrived more than two hours late, so Dumbledore would think I went to find the Dark Lord under his instructions.

And the Dark Lord could use my identity to learn even more secret things about Dumbledore."

"That's still not right. If you were loyal, why didn't you participate in this dangerous activity? I silently risked my life..."

"Risked your life? Sorry, I think only Darren Potter is dangerous, but the Dark Lord has already restricted his strength.

As long as you followed instructions, you would have been able to get the crystal ball, but you couldn't even handle such a small matter!"

Snape said with disdain.

"Small matter? Darren Potter's strength was restricted, but he still had a lot of force... He knocked Lucius unconscious in one encounter... Later, who among us wasn't beaten by him?"

"I'm very sorry, but I have no way to help that. I already stayed in the rear as the Dark Lord requested.

I tried to pass the news to the Order of the Phoenix very late, but you all...

And I think if it weren't for you accidentally letting Darren Potter fall into that Veil, perhaps you would have been able to get the prophecy ball.

Clearly, you pushed Potter too hard, which made him think Darren Potter was dead, so he smashed the prophecy ball!"

"How was I supposed to know that Darren Potter would go to save Sirius?

This was all an accident. I thought he was so powerful that even after pushing Harry Potter and Sirius away, he should have had the strength to get up. Who knew he would really fall in?

I really don't understand, even so, the Dark Lord's plan is still to win over that boy?"

Bellatrix said angrily.

"The Dark Lord punished all of us who carried out the mission.

Then the Dark Lord discovered a problem. Lucius, in Harry Potter's second year, gave him his most precious... I have to say, Lucius is just..."

"Shut up!"

Narcissa shouted.

Then she looked at Snape pleadingly and said, "Please, please help Draco. He is still a child... The Dark Lord punished Lucius, why must Draco complete this mission?"

Snape looked at Narcissa and said hesitantly, "This is the Dark Lord's plan. I can help Draco, but I cannot help you persuade the Dark Lord to change his mind. That is impossible!"

Narcissa burst into tears.

"I only have this one son, Severus. Help me. Lucius only has this one son too... He is still in Azkaban, and the Dark Lord won't save him... Draco is also..."

"Draco will feel honored. If I had a son, I would definitely have him carry out the Dark Lord's mission better, even if it meant sacrificing his life!"

Bellatrix said excitedly.

"I don't. Draco is only sixteen; he is still too young... Severus, please..."

Narcissa knelt on the ground, pulling Snape's hand, and tears fell onto it.

"I can try. I mean, I can try to help him..."

Snape said softly.

Narcissa gathered her spirit and pushed her luck, saying, "Then can an Unbreakable Vow be made?"

Snape froze.

Bellatrix said mockingly, "See, Cissy, begging him is useless!"

"I can!"

Snape suddenly said. Bella was stunned.

Snape said again, "I can. I will help Draco and make an Unbreakable Vow with you. Let... let Bella be the witness!"
