"I want to know, master!" As Severus had counted the first Death Eater meetings he had attended, Regusta Black, who was increasingly similar to his brother, suddenly stood up and looked skeptical about the task assigned to him, "Does it really make sense to carry out such an attack on Muggles?

"Regusta, you say a lot, but doesn't showing power mean slaughter?" Voldemort, who sat on the high throne, laughed grimly, "Otherwise, how could those stupid Muggles feel afraid." They are not afraid, they will not show obedience at all, believe me, dear Regusta, my decision is absolutely right. ”

"But......" Regusta hesitated, and finally returned to his seat, seated next to Severus, "impatient and sane...... Is it really ......?"

It was not known what Severus really was, and there was no need for him to know, because Voldemort had already named him.

"Severus, you don't have to attend the last few events, I need you to make a lot of potions, and as for the funding, Lucius ......"

"Rest assured that Severus will provide everything the Malfoy family will need. Malfoy stood up and answered, and Voldemort nodded, "I'm still pretty relieved that you two are doing things." As for the others, get ready now, get ready to go to this Muggle den at ten o'clock in the evening......"

Voldemort reached out and pointed at a Muggle community on the map near a wizarding colony, and a mad glow began to flicker in his scarlet eyes.

"Crazy......"

Severus heard Regusta beside him mutter, and was slightly stunned for a moment before turning to leave.

His responsibility was only to make potions, and it had nothing to do with what the other Death Eaters thought. As long as his performance can satisfy the great king.

After taking the list of potions Voldemort needed from Malfoy, Severus apparitioned directly to his home in Spidertail Alley, where he prepared the ingredients from the most basic potions, and then boiled them.

It wasn't until one day in March, when Severus delivered a large amount of completed potions to Malfoy Manor, that things changed.

It had just stopped raining that night, and it was wet and cold.

He took a new piece of parchment from Malfoy's hand, with a list of new potions Voldemort needed.

Severus glanced down at the list, which was much simpler than before, and frowned.

"These potions are troublesome. He whispered, "There are some potions that are only available on Hogsmeade's private market, and I need to go there." ”

"It's money, Severus, the Dark Lord said these potions are important, so you need to send them as soon as possible, you know?" Lucius shoved a money bag into Severus's hand, looked left and right before whispering, "Regusta is gone." ”

What the?

Severus was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of another person: Sirius Black. He had fought Blake at the last Death Eater party, and the guy even attacked him, nearly removing the mask from his face.

If he hadn't been familiar with Blake's fighting habits, he might have been planted in that battle. It's just that I'm afraid Sirius Black has already recognized his identity.

After a moment's thought, Severus nodded and left Malfoy Manor, intending to go to Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade Pig Head Bar to find the contact person to buy the forbidden potions materials.

It's just that when the apparition moved to Hogsmeade, he never imagined that he would see a familiar figure in the dark night also walking in the direction of the pig's head bar.

Dumbledore?

What is he doing there?

Thinking of this, Severus immediately disappeared and cautiously followed Dumbledore into the Hog's Head Pub, and then followed the outside of a room in the bar, eavesdropping on the conversation through the dilapidated door.

It turned out to be just a job seeker with no money.

Trelawney, Severus remembered the student, who was a few years above him, and did not expect her to want to apply for the position of the so-called divination class. Listening to Dumbledore's unceremonious rejection of Trelawney's job offer in the room, Severus couldn't help but show a sneer, that is the person who is advertised as the Dark Lord's greatest enemy, can some nonsense fool him?

Severus straightened up and was about to leave before Dumbledore could go out, when he heard a third voice suddenly coming from the room.

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant—

"The man with the power to conquer the Dark Lord approached...... Born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times...... Born at the end of the seventh month......"

"Merlin!" Severus understood for a moment what was going on, it was a prophecy, that the woman with the very deadly and highly gifted prophetic bloodline had actually made a real prophecy!

In the next second, he realized his mistake, and listened to Dumbledore's cold "who" inside the door, and he rushed out of the pig's head bar without even hesitating, and then apparitioned, returning to Malfoy Manor.

"Quick!" Severus rushed in with a quick gasp, "Lucius, I want to see the Dark Lord!tell me where he is?!"

"Dear Severus, do you want to see me?" a soft voice suddenly remembered, Severus suddenly turned around and saw Voldemort coming out of Lucius's bedroom, and there was a faint shadow of Lucius in rags behind him, but he didn't think much about it before he stepped forward and took a deep breath: "Master, I, I, I heard a prophecy!

"Prophecy?" Lucius walked out, his gray eyes rolling in disbelief, looking at Severus and Voldemort, "what kind of prophecy made you ...... like this" His eyes rested on Severus's forehead.

Severus subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to realize that he didn't know when, he was actually in a cold sweat.

"It's a prophecy about the master's enemies, when I came to Hogsmeade before......"

"What's going on......"

"Regusta ......"

"This is the fifth time......"

"The host ......"

"Is he ......?"

"Shut up, if he betrays his master......"

“…… If you die, you die, it's not worth feeling sorry for a traitor......"

"How come the Black family always produce traitors of this bloodline......"

When Severus felt Voldemort's call and felt their gathering place, there were already a lot of Death Eaters gathered there, standing in the corner and listening quietly to the discussion of those people, and then subconsciously thought of another heir of the Black family as the Black family was mentioned.

Sirius Black!

I heard that he became a godfather a week ago - the professor of Harry Potter, the godfather of the son of Lily and the damned Potter!

Lily, who eventually married that Potter before he achieved supreme glory and achievement, a reckless Auror who could put her life in danger at any moment.

If in one of those operations, if he could meet Potter......

Severus looked down at himself with the scars from some potion making, was it possible for him to kill that man?

If Potter died, Lily ......

"The Dark Lord is coming......"

The chatter suddenly died down, and Severus immediately came back to his senses and followed the others in turn, kneeling on one knee in front of Voldemort, bowing his head and kissing the ground at his feet, and then retreating to the place that should belong to him.

"You're just as you have been with me every time I summon, my friends!" Voldemort stepped forward and walked slowly along the circle, "but you have also noticed that one of us in this little group has been missing for a long time. ”

Everyone began to get uneasy, and at this time Voldemort walked in front of Severus. Severus felt the cold aura emanating from Voldemort's body, and couldn't help but tremble and move his steps back a little, "Master......"

"One of our companions standing here is gone," Voldemort stood in front of Severus and pointed to the empty seat on the other side, "he betrayed our great purpose, our ideals, and our noble blood, so he was punished, and I believe he is gone from me forever." ”

"Master, please don't doubt us because of a man's betrayal, at least my heart for you is ......" A Death Eater stepped forward suddenly, but Voldemort only held out a hand to stop what the Death Eater was about to say, "I know, I believe you are my most loyal companions. ”

Voldemort abruptly turned away from Severus's side, which made Severus secretly relieved, while Barty Crouch Jr., who was beside him, sighed in disappointment.

Voldemort's conversation began to shift to their recent victories and plans for the future, and Severus listened distractedly to Voldemort's words, and then continued to wonder if James Potter, the idiot, had died in a battle, and if he could have begged the Dark Lord to accept Lily as his wife.

And that baby with James Potter blood, maybe Sirius Black would be willing to raise him, and as long as the little imp was not in front of him, he believed that he could accept the existence of such a person!

"Severus!"

"Yes, master!" Severus, who was thinking about it, straightened his back and stepped forward, "What does Severus want Severus to do?"

"No, I'm just happy with that clue you provided. Voldemort said slowly, "And I have found the person mentioned in the clue you provided, and that is the newborn imp of the Potter family." Born at the end of July, he escaped from me three times...... The Potter baby fits both of these ......"

W-What?!

How could it be that damn imp of the Potter family!

Severus's eyes rolled rapidly, and finally he could only get down on one knee in front of Voldemort, "Master, Potter's wife is just a ...... Mudbloods, how can a baby born of a mudblood be your enemy. I know that at the end of July, there was a wizarding family that met that criteria, and their children were born at the end of July. ”

"If you're talking about the Longbottom family, I can tell you with certainty that that baby will never be my enemy!" Voldemort interrupted Severus, a grim and confident smile on his face, "The only one who will become an enemy is that Potter child." ”

"All right, from now on, everyone should keep an eye on where the Potters are, if they can bring that baby to me......"

Severus didn't listen to the rest at all. He just shuddered slightly, thinking about what would happen to Lily as a mother if the Dark Lord was going to kill the Potter baby.

All the Death Eaters left in a hurry after the party, but Severus remained where he belonged and did not leave.

"Severus?" Lucius whispered as he patted Severus on the shoulder, "The Dark Lord let us all go, you ......"

"I have something to say to the Dark Lord. Severus turned his head to look at Lucius, "It's important. ”

"You won't be ......" Lucius hesitated, his light grey eyes giving Severus a disapproving look, "this is really ......"

"Alright, Lucius. Since Severus wanted to say something, let him say it. We're friends, and I'm not that stingy if he asks for anything. ”

"Master," Severus looked at Voldemort gratefully, "if you must kill the Potter baby, then, then ......"

"Say whatever you want, Severus. Voldemort's voice was soft, and he stepped forward to stand in front of Severus, "Say, what if I have to kill an inconsequential baby?"

"So," Severus took a deep breath and looked straight at Voldemort, "what do you do about that baby's mother?"

"I've heard that the heir of the Potter family is married to a mudblood, which is simply tarnishing the noble bloodline that the Potter family has worn for hundreds of years. It's not a big deal to kill such a woman!" Voldemort laughed coldly, only to realize that Severus was kneeling directly in front of him.

"Master, can I beg you, beg you to bypass Lily?"

"Lily?" Voldemort frowned, and Lucius immediately leaned into Voldemort's ear, "It's Potter's wife, uh, she and Severus grew up together, very beautiful." ”

"Pretty?" Voldemort raised an eyebrow at Severus kneeling at his feet, "You're not going to tell me you love that woman, are you?"

Without waiting for Severus to answer, Lucius on the side chuckled softly.

"Master, Severus is a noble Slytherin, how could he fall in love with a rude Gryffindor? ”

"Is that so, Severus?" Voldemort lazily looked at Severus, who was still kneeling on the carpet.

Severus hesitated, then nodded.

"That's it, master. That one...... That woman really caused the novelty of the subordinate's conquest......"

"In that case, if it is possible, I will not kill the woman, and leave it to you as a reward for overhearing such an important prophecy!" Voldemort said and turned away, "Lucius, come with me, and tell me the story of Severus and that Mudblood when they were students!"
