The Half-Blood Prince, Snape

"You lowly Mudblood, Hogwarts made a terrible mistake by accepting trash like you!"

The pureblood leader was incredibly fierce. He grabbed a bottle and started smashing it against the Muggle-born. The bottle clattered and crackled as it hit the Muggle-born, causing him to groan in pain.

The others at the Leaky Cauldron didn't bother to intervene. Those who had time to hang out in bars every day were usually like the three Pure-blood wizard who had taken action— Pure-blood wizard who couldn't find jobs and were struggling to make ends meet.

Even if there were occasionally some Muggle-born, they didn't dare to stop them. This wasn't Hogwarts; there were no professors to uphold justice. Even if they tried to stop them, they would still be beaten.

All these Muggle-born could do for their fellow Muggle was to secretly inform the Auror, hoping Auror arrival would end this farce as soon as possible.

At this moment, everyone in the bar, including the owner Tom, was watching this farce with great interest.

Don't assume that Tom is a good person just because he was very friendly to Harry Potter in the original book.

But when you are powerful, everyone is friendly, and the whole world is full of good people, and Harry Potter is a prime example.

Tom's reason for treating Harry Potter so favorably is simple: Harry is the famous the Chosen One, while he's just an ordinary pure-blood. How could he not fawn over the Chosen One?

But the one being beaten is just a powerless Muggle-born. Even if he's killed, no one will seek justice for him, so Tom doesn't care.

In fact, the purebloods only knew that this Muggle-born was applying for a waiter position because Tom had loudly rejected him earlier, which made the other purebloods aware of his identity.

Yes, the Wizarding World is indeed that real and cruel. From Harry Potter's perspective, the Wizarding World is a paradise of kindness and humanity, where every wizard greets you with a smile, and their friendliness makes you believe that's how the Wizarding World truly is.

However, there is only one Harry Potter; in fact, Muggle-born make up the majority of the Wizarding World.

These wizards were seeing a true and real Wizarding World.

On the stairs, Lester watched the expressions on everyone's faces in the bar without any emotion, including the bar owner Tom. Everyone, except for the Muggle-born, was just watching the show, and no one wanted to stop them.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon. As the one in power, Lester would never look at things only from the surface.

From the group of indifferent wizards, Lester could tell that they were already used to pure-bloods beating and insulting Muggle-born.

What does this mean? It means that class conflict within the Wizarding World has probably reached its peak.

This is probably why Hermione, a Muggle-born, was able to become Minister for Magic. Besides the support of her Weasley family, Hermione's appointment as Minister was mainly for political correctness.

Just like Obama in America, and American movies, why is it important to have righteous Black characters? Isn't it to ease tensions?

"It's time to make a move!" Seeing that none of the wizards in the bar intended to attack, Lester prepared to act.

It wasn't that he liked to meddle, but rather that he couldn't stand the bullying of the weak.

If he were just an ordinary wizard, there would be nothing he could do but feel resentful. But he is now the Godfather of Azkaban. Even if he used Fiendfyre to burn all these Pure-blood wizard to death, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't dare utter a word.

Even the Abbott family, who were behind the Leaky Cauldron, knew that he had started the fire, but instead of pursuing the matter, they apologized to him.

That's right, that's the source of Lester's confidence, the confidence that comes from his formidable strength.

As for concealing his identity? He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to kill someone while wearing his own face. Lester isn't stupid; he's ready to transform into the Dark Lord and Sang Biao at any time.

When Lester entered the Wizarding World, he had already decided that he was so powerful that he would never let anyone wrong him. If anyone dared to provoke him, he would transform into Sang Biao and kill their entire family in the next second. Now, in the entire Wizarding World, apart from Dumbledore and those few heads of the wizarding houses, he, Lester, was not afraid of anyone.

Just as Lester was about to transform into Sang Biao and teach those purebloods a lesson, a chilling voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Then, three blinding beams of light shot out from the crowd and struck the three pureblood children who were still beating the Muggle-born.

The powerful petrification spell instantly locked the three pure-blood wizards in place, and their ferocious faces were still frozen on their faces, which looked very funny.

"Who are you? Don't you know that magic is not allowed here?!"

In the crowd, the bar owner stared at the three petrified figures for a moment, then became furious and roared at the black-robed man who had attacked him.

Although this man in black robes seems quite strong, the fact that he helped those Mudblood means he's definitely not a pureblood, so why should I be afraid of him?

"You dare attack Pure-blood wizard? The Auror will lock you up in Azkaban in a minute!"

Upon hearing this, all the Pure-blood wizard in the bar immediately drew their wands, united in their hatred, and aimed them at the black-robed wizard who had suddenly attacked and appeared to be Mudblood.

Faced with so many wands, Professor Snape remained completely calm, merely sweeping his cold gaze over everyone present.

Every Pure-blood wizard felt a chill run down their spines when Professor Snape's gaze swept over them, as sharp as a viper's. They almost dropped their wands, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look Snape in the eye.

Of all the bosses, Tom was the one who regretted it the most, because he felt he had offended the wrong person; this black-robed wizard seemed rather formidable.

Snape stared coldly at everyone present, and everyone instinctively avoided meeting his gaze, making way for Snape with perfect understanding.

Although they didn't know who was under the black robe, they knew this guy was definitely not someone to mess with.

Instead of leaving, Snape arrogantly approached the Muggle-born who had only graduated a few months prior and had been beaten up while job hunting. He took out a bottle of purple Potions from his pocket and threw it at him.

Without waiting for the Muggle-born's thanks, he turned and left, leaving the Pure-blood wizard in the bar frozen in place, dumbfounded.

That's right, this black-robed wizard is none other than the famous Half-Blood Prince, Professor Snape.

His silence wasn't meant to show off. The reason he was silent and wearing a black cloak was simple: he wasn't out on official business; he was doing his own private job.

You should know that Potions are very expensive. Even Potions Master like him needs to personally sell Potions to supplement his family's income.

If it weren't for the fact that those purebloods called him Mudblood," reminding him of unpleasant memories, he wouldn't have bothered with this matter at all.

Of course, this was Professor Snape's own explanation, and only he knew whether it was really true.
