HP North Star's Radiance

"Shouldn't he be locked up?" Snape retorted.

Snape actually wished Draco would be put in solitary confinement, otherwise he might have created another Katie Bell, or even gone after Dumbledore.

Snape didn't think Draco could kill Dumbledore, but in the process of murdering Dumbledore, Draco could create far too many problems.

Praris lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to know?"

“You’re going to tell me?” Snape sneered. “I think you’re completely blinded by him.”

Praris...

Praliss certainly didn't want to tell anyone about Draco's plans, not even Professor Snape. Similarly, she wouldn't reveal Professor Snape's identity as a spy to anyone, not even Draco.

But now, Professor Snape and Draco were pulling at her from one end, almost tearing her in two.

Praris let out a long sigh of relief; she really didn't want this to happen. How despicable and hypocritical it is to do things that others don't want to do under the guise of "doing what's best for them"!

But Praliss also desperately didn't want to watch Draco kill people and commit unforgivable crimes.

Why is fate so contradictory? Why is there no perfect solution in the world? Why did the things that once brought her happiness become the source of her pain?

As he grew a little older, Praris felt that he was intelligent, possessing a wisdom that was out of step with those around him.

However, this exceptional wisdom becomes useless in the face of emotions—even the smartest person becomes hesitant and at a loss when it comes to love.

“Draco is a Death Eater, isn’t he?” Prares said without a doubt. “During the summer, he told me in a letter that he had been given a mission.”

Upon hearing the word "mission," Snape gave a mocking sneer.

Ignoring Professor Snape's attitude, Prarese continued, "I know this is a bad sign."

The moment Praris received the letter, he vaguely understood something, and all of this was confirmed the moment they parted ways in the snow.

Without a doubt, Voldemort was a cruel man.

A capable leader knows what his subordinates are capable of and incapable of. Voldemort entrusted Draco with the task of killing Dumbledore, just as Dumbledore told Hagrid the secret of the Philosopher's Stone and asked him to keep it a secret.

Nobody expected them to complete the task.

In this situation, Draco would inevitably suffer both physical and mental torment.

“Hermione told me that the necklace was originally in Borginburgh,” Praris said slowly. “Katie came from the school, and Filch did the tests at the school gate. No one can leave the school with dark magic.”

Therefore, Katie was normal when she left school, and all the students were normal; none of them had been possessed.

Hermione and her two friends followed Katie into the Three Brooms. Linney said that Katie only came out of the Three Brooms' toilet with the package.

Therefore, we can conclude that Katie obtained the necklace in the toilet with three brooms—the women's toilet.

"With three brooms and people coming and going, there is no possibility that a male witch could enter the women's restroom to steal the souls of female students without being discovered."

Therefore, Draco must have had a female accomplice, or he must have possessed a witch.

Praris concluded: "Either a female Death Eater is helping him, or he has already possessed a witch who wouldn't have a problem being there."

All the Death Eaters were wanted, except for Mrs. Burstde, who was not on the wanted list and was a free woman.

“Millie went to Hogsmeade that day, but she didn’t see her mother,” Praris said briefly. “Therefore, it was Mrs. Rostamer, the owner of the Three Brooms, who was robbed of her soul.”

When Prarese asked about Mrs. Rostamer, Hermione said that while she and Ron were arguing, Mrs. Rostamer went to the back to get some fire whiskey.

It is obvious that Ms. Rostamer was not going to get the Flaming Whiskey at all, but was manipulated to steal Katie's soul.

Prareas looked at Professor Snape: "This is Draco's first... plan to kill Dumbledore. It's crude, especially the idea of ​​having Kitty bring the package into the school."

Prarese's explanation is very disjointed and quite a test of one's thinking ability.

Fortunately, Snape was the one who temporarily treated Kitty, and he knew about her condition. Furthermore, Snape was also a Death Eater, so his decision to exclude other female Death Eaters is understandable.

This was the first time Snape had heard Prarese explain her ideas, and it was a strange and difficult experience.

Yes, these things are all connected, but first you need to be able to get this information from different people, and second you need to be able to connect this information together.

Communication skills, logical thinking, observation skills, memory, and sufficient self-confidence are all indispensable.

As for why we believe Draco did it?

Praliss didn't need to think at all; Draco had already revealed the truth to her in the snow.

—If you really want her to analyze it, it's not impossible to deduce it.

“What is Draco planning to do next?” Snape said. “Or what was he doing at the Christmas dinner?”

Snape didn't believe that Draco's nighttime strolls around the school could harm Dumbledore; he must have other plans, and it must be related to some powerful ally he believed in.

In this matter, Snape's first thought was his niece Prader.

Yes, it's very powerful, isn't it?

He possesses an extraordinary mind, is versed in a vast array of magical spells, has a powerful talent for potions, and is also very powerful in magic.

If Prareus wanted to help Draco kill Dumbledore, it would be an incredibly easy task.

She only needed to tamper with the potion provided to Dumbledore, and all her plans and schemes would collapse with the sudden end of Dumbledore's life.

But Snape knew it wouldn't be that; Prader would never help Voldemort's plan. For Snape's sake, for Winnie's sake, for Draco's sake, she would hate Voldemort.

"Ah! You mean that!" Praris said, feigning a sudden realization, but instead of offering an answer, he said, "Sir, Dumbledore pressured you, didn't he?"

Snape's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said through gritted teeth, "Miss, I don't think you were sent here to investigate me, were you?"

“Perhaps so,” Praris said helplessly. “Then let’s talk about Draco. In fact, I don’t know what he’s doing yet. But I do know where he was at the Christmas party.”

Prarese is lying.

She knew, but only vaguely.

Prareus was convinced that Draco was doing some kind of alchemical work, because Prareus hadn't seen his toolbox in a long time.

Snape narrowed his eyes, waiting for her answer.

“The Room of Requirement, sir,” Praris said. “Without a doubt.”

The conversation about Draco finally ended. Snape seemed uncomfortable discussing matters of the heart with his niece, and his speech was somewhat awkward.

Snape composed himself and said to Prarese, "We need to adjust the dosage and ingredients of the potion; there are some differences between using it on a toad and on a human."

Praris nodded, her eyes immediately searching for the crucible she had left there.

“Before that,” Snape’s words suddenly took a turn, “Miss, I need to give you your Christmas present.”

Praris turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Snape, his face stiff, said dryly, "Do you want to see Brown and Purnell?"

Chapter 161 Love is perceptive.

There was a void in Snape's heart, and a fierce wind blew through it all day long, emitting a sharp howl.

Snape never told anyone that he didn't actually look down on Sylvia during their school days. On the contrary, it was clearly Sylvia's own fault.

—The very existence of Sylvia is an irony.

Snape's first textbooks were Erin's old books. He cherished them greatly, feeling that they symbolized his closer connection to his wizarding mother and to the wizarding world.

So he imitated Eileen's small, delicate handwriting and wrote "the Half-Blood" before her lonely "Prince," and from then on he saw his half of the blood belonging to a wizard.

This habit followed him throughout his life, and "The Half-Blood Prince" appeared in every one of his textbooks.

This self-amusement was stung when Sylvia Prince appeared.

Sylvia appeared before him with a bright smile. She said that Ryan hoped the two siblings could look after each other, just like he and Eileen did.

When Sylvia appeared before Snape, her face was rosy, her hair was long, black, and shiny, her smile was generous, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She walked over from the other end of the corridor, greeted by countless wizards and witches of all ages, with a call of "Hill!" ringing out every now and then.

Ha, taking care of each other? Snape almost burst out laughing.

In the two months Sylvia has been at the school, she has met more people than he has in several years—some of whom are children from wizarding families and may have known her even before she enrolled.

Does she still need to be taken care of?

Snape didn't hesitate to scold Sylvia away, watching with disdain as she ran to a tall girl who was holding a spellbook and wiped away her tears.

Snape didn't feel completely better after swearing at them; he still occasionally glanced at Gryffindor.

He spent most of his time looking at Lily, and occasionally at his cousin from a wizarding family.

Snape sometimes had a sad thought: if Erin hadn't met Tobias, he would have had the same life as Sylvia.

This thought disgusted him to no end, yet it kept popping into his mind from time to time.

Sylvia is never short of friends, which is an irony to his loneliness.

Sylvia has the ability to get high scores but is lazy and unwilling to put in the effort, which is mocking his hard work.

Sylvia is always sunny and cheerful, which is a sarcastic reference to his gloomy and damp personality.

Even Sylvia's name is a mockery of him!

The name Sylvia, in English, is related to a forest goddess, signifying beauty and nature, symbolizing individuality, departure, and wandering, and representing her parents' deep love for her. The name Severus, on the other hand, means stern in Latin.

Snape could only secretly write "Half of" in his mother's textbook, while Sylvia was born Prince and got what he wanted effortlessly.

Snape had a huge, gaping hole in his heart.

He longed for Eileen's love. But Eileen only saw Tobias, who drew out a vein called love and tightened it around his own neck.

He longed for Lily's love, only to discover that her moonlight wouldn't shine solely on him. Just as Eileen cared more for Tobias than for Severus.

When Sylvia came to him again, Snape simply told her to get lost and not to say those things in front of him that were for his own good.

It's useless and unnecessary to do without anyone.

Snape killed each of his loved ones in his heart, burying them in the grave of their souls. The last one pushed in was the living Severus. He would guard the memories of them in the grave, lying in an empty coffin awaiting death.

Until he learned what Sylvia had done.

This is an illusion.

Sylvia is not Irene, and her daughter is not Severus. Why would Snape pretend to be Sylvia's mother?

But for a moment he felt a sense of satisfaction at killing her husband for Sylvia.

After learning that Eileen was a wizard, he wanted to question her countless times: Why didn't you pick up your wand and protect them? Why did you let Tobia vent his powerless rage on them?
