บท 30: Chapter 30: The Terrifying Mastermind, Peter Pettigrew!
Severus Snape had always considered himself sufficiently patient.
However, at this moment, facing Peter Pettigrew, he realized the true endurance and destructive power a real mastermind possessed.
Even Voldemort, who surpassed almost everyone in both magic and intelligence, had been outwitted and killed by Pettigrew...
"This grand scheme went very smoothly."
Peter, satisfied with his past plotting, slowly looked down at Snape: "The only person who almost disrupted my plan was you, Severus. You nearly ruined everything."
"..."
Snape looked up, confused and uneasy.
This was the first time Snape saw Pettigrew's true face. When had he nearly ruined Pettigrew's plan?
If he had truly ruined it...
That would have been a pleasant surprise.
"Lily."
Pettigrew mentioned a woman's name.
This name made Snape's eye twitch instantly and his emotions flare with rage as he looked at Pettigrew!
Because Lily was the love of Snape's life!
However, Lily had become a sacrificial pawn in Pettigrew's plan!
That bastard Peter knew Lily had learned a spell that could harm Voldemort, and he dared to use her as a tool to eliminate Voldemort!
"You've always loved Lily, haven't you?"
Peter hit the mark, seeing through Snape's thoughts, and continued calmly, "I bet you begged Voldemort for her life after you joined him..."
"..."
Snape's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Pettigrew, the one who orchestrated that astonishing event in the past, had even guessed this hidden truth...
"You even know about that..."
Snape's hands shook as he supported himself on the ground, recalling that nightmarish night, involuntarily feeling heartache, almost bringing tears to his eyes.
"Of course."
Peter couldn't help but chuckle lightly, casually explaining, "Because I witnessed Lily resisting Voldemort with my own eyes. That murderous Dark Lord even hesitated for a moment about whether to kill Lily. That wasn't normal..."
"I deduced that someone must have pleaded for her life before Voldemort, and that person could only be you, because only you would want to protect her."
Peter looked at Snape, suddenly sneering, "Tsk, if Voldemort hadn't killed Lily, her blood wouldn't have triggered the spell, and my plan would have failed, maybe even exposing myself..."
"Unfortunately."
"Voldemort was too arrogant."
"I knew his character very well."
"I knew an arrogant Dark Lord wouldn't stop his killing spree because of a subordinate's plea."
"So Voldemort killed Lily, and then tried to kill her son, Harry Potter. Unfortunately, the spell was triggered upon Lily's death..."
"In the end... everything was over."
Peter spread his arms slowly, closing his eyes with satisfaction, sighing, "My plan succeeded. The Dark Lord disappeared, and James and Sirius paid for their arrogance..."
"So it was you all along..."
The usually calm Snape could no longer control himself. He didn't want to ask Pettigrew anything more about what happened later; he tightly gripped his wand.
He couldn't act rashly...
Because someone like Pettigrew might kill him in a surprise attack!
Peter, as if sensing Snape's movements, casually snapped his fingers and swiftly cast a Disarming Charm!
"Expelliarmus!"
"..."
The speed of the Disarming Charm was beyond Snape's reaction!
Snape's wand flew out of his hand, landing in Pettigrew's grasp!
Peter grabbed the wand with one hand, pointing it at Snape's body, and uttered another spell.
"Crucio!"
The red light from the wand flashed and disappeared!
Snape's body fell powerlessly to the ground.
A wave of intense pain swept through Snape's body, but this pain couldn't diminish Snape's hatred for Peter Pettigrew. He would never let this mastermind go!
Peter held Snape's wand, forcing it into the table, mocking Snape who was writhing in pain on the ground, "Severus, did you always think I was the same as before?"
His strength...
He could force a wand into the table with sheer physical strength!
Peter looked at the shocked Snape and chuckled, "After killing the Dark Lord, I gained his knowledge. Severus, you are no match for me now..."
Peter clenched his fist again, sneering, "No one in this world is my match. Sooner or later, the world will realize that the true Dark Lord is the one who laughs last..."
"You overlook Dumbledore."
Snape looked at Pettigrew with deep hatred, his face still stubborn and twitching with pain, "Dumbledore is the strongest white wizard in the world..."
Likewise.
Snape hadn't lost his mind.
Because he needed to find out why Pettigrew was so confident in his supremacy, to uncover Pettigrew's methods against Dumbledore.
"I understand what you want to know."
Peter seemed to see through Snape's thoughts, unabashedly explaining, "I never underestimated Hogwarts' greatest headmaster. So I prepared a big gift for him long ago."
"I'm sure Dumbledore has discovered."
"Voldemort is infinitely close to immortality and will return. No one can stop his return, even if I have his knowledge!"
"So I prepared a big gift for our headmaster, which is one of the secrets I sought at Hogwarts. Voldemort created six Horcruxes for immortality, plus a secret Horcrux that Dumbledore must know about..."
"These Horcruxes total seven..."
"If we don't destroy the seven Horcruxes, Voldemort will always come back, and no one can permanently eliminate him. This is a headache for me too."
"What's worse..."
"Dealing with each Horcrux could be lethal."
"Dumbledore will certainly have to destroy these Horcruxes and sacrifice himself to eliminate Voldemort because the Dark Lord's power is far more terrifying than mine..."
"This is the inevitable fate of the great Headmaster Dumbledore, a path I've arranged for him."
Pettigrew indifferently laid out these facts, calmly watching Snape's fluctuating expression, "This is an open conspiracy."
Yes.
This was an open conspiracy.
Even Snape knew that Dumbledore had been investigating the cause of Voldemort's resurrection, and now someone had delivered the answer to them.
To eliminate Voldemort...
Dumbledore had few choices.
Because they all knew Voldemort's terror.
Even Peter would go to any lengths to use everyone to eliminate Voldemort.
"So back then..."
Snape bit his teeth so hard he almost drew blood, "That explosion eight years ago, was it also your carefully planned fake death?"
"Hehehe... yes..."
Peter chuckled, nonchalantly spreading his hands, "Sirius, my good friend, one of my best friends. I know him better than anyone; he's as reckless and self-righteous as Potter..."
"I created an explosion and during that explosion, I personally broke off a finger to serve as the only remaining fragment, making Sirius completely give up and giving me time to learn Voldemort's magic..."
After speaking.
Peter's smile gradually faded.
This grotesque, menacingly plump man slowly raised his hand, showing a broken finger.
Peter Pettigrew's expression turned particularly cold.
As if the finger he broke in the past wasn't his own.
