Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

His attitude toward Isaac was rather subtle.

On the one hand, through his own connections, he already knew that Peter Pettigrew had committed suicide at the Ministry of Magic out of guilt.

To be honest, he simply didn't believe that Peter Pettigrew would commit suicide out of guilt.

"Wormtail" was a cowardly man; how could he possibly commit suicide over something like this?

If he had that kind of awareness, why would he have hidden in the Weasleys' house for ten years in Animagus form?

It is clear that Peter Pettigrew was murdered.

This was to ensure the success of Fudge's political grand show.

The former Minister of Magic's promotion of Peter Pettigrew as the hero who died fighting against Voldemort and the Death Eaters was also a political drama.

So many wizards have died at the hands of Death Eaters, so why did the Ministry of Magic report Peter Pettigrew for the Order of Merlin, First Class?

Keep in mind that Peter Pettigrew didn't have many Death Eater victories at that time.

That political performance could be considered both a success and a failure.

The failure was compounded by the fact that Peter Pettigrew reappeared ten years later.

Therefore, in order to ensure the success of his political performance and to ensure that the Minister of Magic would not hold him accountable later.

Peter Pettigrew is doomed.

Lock him up in Azkaban? Fudge himself didn't even believe the guards in Azkaban.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly have that ability?" Snape said sarcastically, while Isaac grinned. None of them were exactly respectable people, which made things quite harmonious.

"I've come to invite you to do something else."

Isaac didn't beat around the bush with Snape; direct communication was the best way to communicate with the Slytherin headmaster.

Especially what he plans to do during the Christmas holidays.

"Do you have any plans for the Christmas holidays? I'm planning to throw a fantastic party for the most respected wizards in Europe."

In addition, we also plan to examine the mysterious man's Horcrux together—I wonder if you'd be interested in joining the party?

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Snape was about to retort with a sarcastic remark, but when Isaac uttered the second half, Snape instantly became serious.

"The Horcrux of the mysterious man...you didn't inform Dumbledore?" Snape joined Dumbledore's side to take down Voldemort.

Dumbledore also told Snape about Voldemort's possession of Horcruxes.

Although Dumbledore seems more like a riddle-maker, he's never stingy with hints when they're needed.

“I can’t notify him,” Isaac said, shrugging. “Those highly respected old wizards in Europe have had some disagreements with Professor Dumbledore.”

In order for this amazing party to go smoothly, I'll have to reluctantly forgo inviting Professor Dumbledore.

Isaac was speaking earnestly in the Potions professor's office at Hogwarts, talking about the American-style bullying he was planning.

Snape instinctively felt that Isaac wasn't telling the truth.

Are you kidding me? Who is Dumbledore? He's a wizard who is highly respected throughout the entire European wizarding world.

He is the chief wizard of Wizengamo.

Those highly respected old wizards in Europe might not have been familiar with Dumbledore for various reasons, but unpleasant things had happened between them...

One or two might be able to organize a party?

Are you kidding me?

Although Snape thought Isaac was talking nonsense, he still agreed.

He ultimately couldn't resist the allure of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Speaking of which, Snape also wanted to see where Isaac got so many European wizards who were at odds with Dumbledore.

If not... then don't blame Snape for being sarcastic.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Snape looked down and saw that Isaac was still there, staring at him expectantly.

"Hmm...this party needs some entertainment, and I was just thinking that Professor Snape knows a lot of people, could you please do me a favor?"

Snape gave a cold, sarcastic laugh: "Most of the people I know are Death Eaters."

"What, you're planning to have those Death Eaters put on a show for you?"

"Death Eaters are great, Professor! That's exactly what I need!" Isaac's eyes lit up, his tone as cheerful as if he had just seen an Avatar performance.

Snape stared intently at Isaac with his two empty eyes.

Snape noticed from the moment he met Isaac that the boy was nothing like Dumbledore.

But who does he resemble?

It wasn't until Harry and Percy started calling Isaac "sir" that the Hufflepuff school subtly began to idolize him.

Even the first-year wizards in Slytherin were unwilling to offend Isaac, and Snape suddenly realized who he resembled.

He's really popular! Voldemort was just as popular when he was at Hogwarts.

Be friendly to classmates, respect teachers...

If Voldemort had been a madman from the beginning, no one in the school would have wanted to play with him.

It was precisely because he behaved so perfectly and had such leadership qualities at school that he was able to gather a large following.

"What exactly do you want? Don't try to pull that Dumbledore trick on me, Waldorley!"

Dumbledore is no good, and neither is Waldorley!

Seeing that Snape was serious, Isaac explained his plan to rob Gringotts to him.

This plan would be out of the question for Professors McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout.

If they knew Isaac was planning to do this, they would contact Dumbledore immediately.

But Snape was different from the other three heads of the house.

"Impossible. Even the openly known Death Eaters in the British magical community wouldn't do that."

"Unless the mysterious figure is resurrected and returns to lead them, there's no way I could possibly command them to do something like this."

Snape did have influence within the Death Eaters, mainly because everyone there had been redeemed from the Death Eaters; if you can redeem yourself, you don't care what methods you use.

Snape was able to get Dumbledore to speak for him, that was his ability, and the other Death Eaters might envy him but wouldn't say much.

People would help Snape if he wanted to collect potion ingredients, or former Death Eaters would lend a hand if he wanted to do something.

That's because they know very well that they, with criminal records, are originally in the same camp.

But if Snape "goes mad," this group of former Death Eaters with their sharp eyes and keen minds won't go mad with him.

Those with a conscience would immediately distance themselves from Snape, while those without would simply report him to the Ministry of Magic.

It's unrealistic to expect Snape to contact the Death Eaters to "go to their deaths" at Gringotts.

“You’re joking, Professor.” Isaac nodded repeatedly in understanding. “How could I possibly ask you to contact those former Death Eaters?”

If I remember correctly, some of the Death Eaters who followed Mysterio ran away to Europe, right?

The local guys are too shrewd, they're not good enough; we need to use some from out of town.

Isaac pointed to Snape's arm: "We just need to send them a false signal so they think their former master is calling them."

The mysterious figure gave them direct orders; how could they dare to refuse?

Before Isaac could finish speaking, Snape realized what Isaac was planning to do.

He subconsciously rolled up his sleeve, revealing the black demon mark on the inside of his arm.

Due to Voldemort's loss of power, the originally pure black Dark Mark has turned into a light red scar.

It is almost invisible and there is no sensation.

Aside from the fact that there's no way to remove it, it's like a permanent scar.

Just like the lightning bolt mark on Harry's forehead.

Isaac immediately drew his wand and, under Snape's watchful eye, gently touched the pale red Dark Mark.

When Isaac's wand touched the light red dark magic mark, the mark's color began to deepen.

Snape also began to feel a sharp pain coming from the mark.

A moment later, the light red black magic mark began to turn dark blue, and the skull and snake pattern became clearer.

Immediately following the intense burning, the Dark Mark turned pure black, and the pattern on it was no different from when Voldemort was still alive.

The next second, the Dark Mark on Snape's arm returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

"The Dark Mark, you can actually control it!" Snape's eyes instantly became empty, proof that he was using Occlumency at high intensity.

It was really because Isaac was stressed out by the Dark Mark just now.

What is the Dark Mark used for?
