Hogwarts: I've acquired the Father System

Page 64

What to pretend?

As soon as Quirrell entered Hogwarts, he had a vague suspicion that the man had returned.

The person was even sitting on the back of Quirrell's head, which was wrapped in cloth.

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

You can't believe a single word this person says.

Why shouldn't Porter be treated so cruelly?

That's absolutely hilarious.

Isn't that person known for his cruelty?

He was killed once by that brat's brother Harry Potter, so how could he possibly treat that brat any differently?

This might be a test from that person.

Want to know if he is still loyal?

Ah!

Snape coldly pushed Quirrell's head away, then turned and left the faculty seating area.

They summoned the Slytherin student council president, whose face clearly showed concern.

"I need you to use the Crucifixion on Darren Porter!"

Snape spoke to the Greengrass girl.

Then he saw the girl's shocked expression.

"This...Professor, I don't know how...This is dark magic...I can't use this kind of magic at school!"

The girl vehemently denied it.

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

childish.

Showing murderous intent towards a Slytherin headmaster?

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

"Hmph, don't try any tricks. I allow you to use this kind of magic... no, no, no, as long as no one tells anyone, it's not illegal, right?"

Snape laughed sarcastically.

He then ignored Miss Greengrass's next words, turned and left, only "accidentally" dropping a finger cot before he left.

After seeing Miss Greengrass pick up the finger cot and show a look of sudden realization and 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 principal should be eating at the teachers' table."

Snape narrowed his eyes and gripped his wand.

Although he didn't think anyone could get the principal's hair to impersonate him.

"A little magic, good morning, Severus."

Dumbledore looked a little sleepy.

However, his blue eyes remained wise.

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

"Alright, it is you. So, Dumbledore, what brings you to me?"

Snape snorted and put away his wand.

Unless Dumbledore is dead, the Elder Wand cannot be handed over to anyone else.

“Severus, forgive an old man’s pain. I need to go into Slytherin with you to observe Darren’s punishment!”

"Oh!"

Snape angrily smashed the table next to him.

He pulled out his wand, pointed it at Dumbledore, and said angrily, "Dumbledore, what are you trying to do? Do you want to see that brat really be tortured to death by the Crucifixion?"

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

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

Snape was silent for a moment, then lowered his wand with an empty look in his eyes.

He said with a bitter tone, "Dumbledore, you've always been like this. How can I trust you?"

Chapter Sixty-Two: Improved Magic Potions!

Snape slumped into a chair and covered his face.

How many times has this happened?

This old man was always trying to hurt that little Potter kid.

Each time, he had a variety of compelling reasons that made it impossible for him to refuse, but why did it have to be this way?

That little Potter kid is clearly a kind-hearted idiot.

Why insist on focusing on the harm he causes?

“He’s too kind; I always feel uneasy about him.”

"Dumbledore said solemnly."

Snape laughed mockingly.

Yes!

No one can be so kind, so kind it seems like an act.

Can…

Snape had to admit, with a sigh, that the boy was indeed true to his word.

"Dumbledore, the kindness you can't do doesn't mean he can't!"

Snape scoffed.

Dumbledore wasn't angry.

He sat across from Snape, waiting for him to calm down, before saying with a touch of emotion, "Yes, yes, you're right. I really can't be like Darren. People praise me as the greatest white wizard, unattached to power. But they have no idea that I used to be a scoundrel. If it weren't for some things that happened, I wouldn't be who I am now. I might be even crazier than Voldemort, and I might be causing chaos throughout the entire wizarding world."

Dumbledore sighed, shook his head, and looked at Snape, whose expression still showed some pain. He continued softly, "I'm just worried that this child will go astray. You and I both know that anyone who has gone through what that child went through would find it impossible to remain kind. Yes, he was truly kind before, but after entering this magical world, with the famous Harry as a comparison, Severus, aren't you worried about him?"

Snape closed his eyes.

How could I not be worried?

He was constantly worried about that little Potter kid, and the contrast with Harry Potter made him feel depressed, painful, sad, and jealous.

Both he and Dumbledore underestimated the sensation Harry Potter would cause in the wizarding world.

Everyone in the wizarding world knows Harry Potter.

Some of them idolize Harry Potter.

Some consider Harry Potter their lifelong enemy.

However, it must be said that Harry Potter was in the spotlight.

Those who like him, upon seeing him enter Gryffindor, would show expressions of "I knew it," and even praise him for his pure heart and as a warrior.

Even those who dislike him, upon seeing him enter Gryffindor, would scoff and say, "I knew it; that guy should be there."

Meanwhile, Darren Porter was the object of their comparison.

He had heard the other three houses say more than once that Darren Porter was not a good person, and if he were a good person, how could he have gotten into Slytherin?

In addition, since Harry Potter hadn't contacted him for almost a week since school started, almost everyone came to this conclusion.

Such statements exist.

Of course he was worried that Darren would change. No, he wasn't worried that Darren would become less kind, but that he would go astray.

At that time, nobody knew what would happen.

He didn't want Lily's child to end up like that.

"See? You yourself don't really trust him, do you?"

Snape silently mocked himself.

But he still insisted, "Even so, I cannot allow Potter to actually undergo the Crucifixion. If Voldemort knew that the greatest white wizard insisted on watching the little Potter boy undergo the Crucifixion, he would probably laugh his head off!"

“Ah, Severus, you think too badly of me. I’ve already said I only went to Slytherin to observe Darren’s punishment, not to change what punishment he was being punished for.”

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

His eyes met Snape's with an open and honest gaze, devoid of any cunning.
