"Your father's ancestral invisibility cloak—I can tell you definitively—is one of the Three Holy Relics of Death, along with the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone."

"The Deathly Hallows are real."

"Only Death's Cloak of Invisibility can be permanently effective and block all magical detection."

"It is extremely precious; there is only one in the world."

Sark's candid answer earned him more respect from both Harry and Hermione. Had he not spoken, Harry would have been completely kept in the dark. But he did speak, and he did so clearly. This frankness was very endearing.

"The choice is yours. You can think it over carefully before making a decision. After all, this is a treasure left to you by your father."

"By the way, when Voldemort attacked your family, Dumbledore borrowed the Invisibility Cloak to study it. If the Invisibility Cloak had been there, perhaps your mother could have escaped with you. After all, as long as you cover yourself with it, you can buy some time. A wizard's Apparition does not require the aid of a wand."

"Professor Dumbledore, he..."

Harry's feelings were even more complicated at this moment.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Ron suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Harry's arm. "That guy's a liar! A complete fraud! How could you believe his lies, Harry?!"

"What did I lie about?"

Sarko still had a smile on his face, but in his heart, Ron Weasley already knew he was doomed.

Laziness: I'm too lazy to reason with you, just kill them all; Gluttony: If you dare to get in my way, you'll regret it.

Sarco has committed two of the seven deadly sins, but now is not the time. He still needs to play the good boy and learn from Professor Flitwick, and of course, Professor McGonagall. Sarco is also very interested in transfiguration.

"Every word I have said so far can be verified; not a single word is false, and everything is a true fact."

"Maybe your troll brain doesn't support you reading this information. After all, in the Weasley family, Ron, you're the most likely one to have been switched at birth. It can't be that all five of your brothers are smart, your sister is smart, and you're the only one who's so stupid you can't even pass your exams, right?"

Ron's face turned pale and then red, his fists clenched so tightly he wanted nothing more than to smash this despicable guy in the face with a club and beat him to pieces.

"If you hadn't taken Harry out to play around, not to study, and instead to copy homework, I think Harry might be even more outstanding and popular with girls, like—Miss Cho Chang."

Now it was Harry's turn to try and cover Sakho's mouth. Just thinking about Cho Chang made his heart skip a beat.

"Then I'll add one more thing: I can help you win over Miss Zhang Qiu and win her heart, but I can't guarantee that I can do it unless I personally go and pursue her."

"In that case, I'm absolutely certain I can kiss her within three minutes."

"Why should I?!"

Before Harry could even speak, Ron exploded, and no one knew what he was so excited about.

"Just because of me—" Saco suddenly leaned forward, forcing Ron to tilt his head back, "I have a face that's good enough to live off a woman, and a body so strong that I don't even know when I'll run out of energy. I have eight-pack abs, and so far I've never met a girl who said 'no' to me."

Saco lifted his T-shirt, turned to Hermione, and raised an eyebrow. "You can touch me for five minutes."

Hermione turned her head quickly, her cheek slightly flushed.

"I agree."

Harry finally closed his mouth, which had been agape, and said with a serious expression, "I agree to the exchange."

"I'm so glad to hear you say that, Harry."

Sark spoke with equal satisfaction; these things meant nothing to him, while Harry's heirloom invisibility cloak proved to be of great help.

"Then let's begin now."

Sark took out a new seamless expansion bag, and with a wave of his wand, galleons like giant snakes surged into the bag. The gold mountain rapidly shrank, followed by seven brand-new fire bolts, plus top-of-the-line maintenance tools. This thing was directly snatched from a Quidditch club order, practically stolen.

After the Invisible Beast's Invisibility Cloak was also put into the bag, Harry pulled out his silver Invisibility Cloak from the trunk.

With a bag in one hand and an invisibility cloak in the other, the transaction was completed smoothly.

Ron tried to speak several times, but ultimately kept his mouth shut, probably because the golden serpent worth two hundred thousand Galleons was too shocking and rendered him speechless.

"Next, I'll tell you about the guy who sent Voldemort to find your parents."

Saco waved his wand: "Silently."

The private room was soundproofed.

"I'm only telling you this, and I don't care who you tell, so come sit next to me, Harry. You and Hermione can switch places."

Hermione stood up and quickly switched seats with Harry. She was curious, but she respected this decision, as it was Harry's private matter.

After Hermione sat down, Saco waved his wand again, blocking out his voice so that Hermione and Ron on the other side wouldn't hear it.

"To put it simply, after Severus Snape heard Trelawney's prophecy to Dumbledore about Voldemort, he told Voldemort what he had heard. Snape was once a Death Eater; he joined voluntarily and was not forced by anyone."

Seeing Harry's suddenly stunned face, Sakho patted him on the shoulder and continued, "You don't have to say a word now. You can listen attentively until I tell you the whole story, and then give your thoughts."

"I will not generalize; I will tell you the whole story."

"Your mother, Lily Evans, knew Snape before she came to Hogwarts. They were childhood sweethearts, and Snape has liked your mother ever since."

"He has loved your mother for over a decade and has never forgotten her. However, at school, because of his love for dark magic, he actively sought out the Slytherin students. But he made a terrible mistake. Around fifth or sixth grade, your father used a hanging bell to hang him upside down in front of everyone and almost pulled down his underwear to humiliate him. Your mother bravely and righteously stood up and stopped it all."

"Perhaps because he embarrassed himself in front of the girl he liked, or for some other reason, Snape lost his temper with your mother after being released and impulsively said 'Mudblood,' which became the fuse for the rift in their friendship. But actually, it would have been the same even if he hadn't said it, because Snape liked dark magic, joined the Death Eaters, thought wizards were superior and looked down on Muggles. Even without this incident, the relationship would have fallen apart."

"Snape loved your mother but couldn't have her."

"Next, he joined the Death Eaters. By chance, he met Dumbledore, who was interviewing Sybil Trelawney. During the interview, Trelawney entered a state of true prophecy that she herself was unaware of, and she spoke the prophecy about Voldemort and the one who would defeat Voldemort."

"Snape overheard the first half: 'The one who possesses the power to conquer the Dark Lord is about to arrive; born into a family that has resisted him three times, born at the end of the seventh month; the Dark Lord will mark him as a formidable foe, but he will possess power that the Dark Lord does not understand; and one of them must die at the other's hands, for the two cannot coexist.'"

"Snape, who was extremely excited at the time, told Voldemort half of the prophecy, but what he did not expect was that you were the boy born at the end of July. Your parents escaped from Voldemort's clutches three times, and Neville was another person like you. Both of you were originally children of prophecy, but Voldemort chose you."

"Peter Pettigrew betrayed your parents. He got the exact location of your parents' house, but not the Longbottom house."

"After Snape found out about this, he went to Dumbledore for help, begging him to save your mother. If he had known it would turn out this way, he might not have said anything, but it had already happened."

"That's the whole story. How you see Snape is your own business. He loves your mother but hates your father, and unfortunately, you only have your mother's eyes."

"If Harry, you were a girl, and you looked like your mother, Snape might have cherished you as the most precious treasure in the world."

"For example: Harley stepped into the classroom with her right foot first today, so she gets 100 points in Gryffindor, etc."

Upon hearing this, Harry suddenly shuddered. The images that flashed through his mind were too horrible. For some reason, he felt that Snape was even more disgusting than before.

"Perhaps you need to calm down and think things through now. I'll come see you in a few hours."

Sako canceled the effect of the silencing spell, picked up the invisibility cloak, stuffed it into his pocket, and went out the door.
