"Thank you, Severus. And I want to thank you even more, John!

I actually remember it very clearly.

At that time, a small black snake emerged from the ring, and it wrapped itself around my finger and was about to bite me."

Dumbledore raised his left hand again and showed the black mark on his ring finger to John and Snape, "This is the mark left by its entanglement.

Just the mere contact caused me to be poisoned by such a terrible poison.

If it really bites me... I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, John prevented all of this from happening at the critical moment.

Thank you, thank you so much, John!”

John nodded and accepted Dumbledore's thanks calmly.

Dumbledore really should thank him.

Dumbledore's performance last night was extremely bad. If it weren't for him, Dumbledore probably wouldn't have lived long even if he hadn't died on the spot.

"Okay, Dumbledore's condition is now stable." Snape said, "Then should you tell me what's going on?"

John and Dumbledore looked at each other.

Dumbledore had a wry smile on his face.

He really didn't know how to say anything about what happened last night.

Seeing this, John nodded, took over the conversation, and began to tell Snape a series of things that happened last night.

Snape listened extremely carefully.

When I heard that Dumbledore was taking a child like John to remove the Horcruxes.

There was obvious anger on his face.

In his opinion, this is really too dangerous.

When I heard that Dumbledore ignored John's obstruction and rashly touched the Horcrux ring, and even imprisoned John for it.

He had clenched his fists and was almost furious.

When I heard that Dumbledore was caught in a trap and lost the ability to resist.

He stared at Dumbledore with eyes full of contempt and confusion.

But no matter how his mood changed, he did not interrupt John's story.

As a master of Occlumency, Snape was accustomed to thinking in a rational way.

It is more efficient to let John tell the whole story and then ask questions than to interrupt and ask questions when he encounters confusion.

However, when he heard that John alone had subdued the little black snake carrying a high concentration of 'cursed poison' and destroyed the Horcrux, Snape's expression changed drastically and he couldn't bear it anymore!

"John! Are you hurt?"

Snape stood up suddenly and shouted.

Dumbledore also realized the weirdness of this matter at this moment.

The terrifying toxicity of the 'cursed poison' was the only thing he had ever seen in his life!

Even he fell into the trap!

Although this was largely due to the fact that he was mentally defeated, such a little black snake was not something that John could easily deal with!

So in the process of fighting against the black snake, will John also be poisoned?

"I'm not hurt, really not."

John raised his hands and explained quickly.

However this is of no use.

Snape and Dumbledore were now so nervous that they were going crazy.

Together they began to examine John.

And soon, they discovered two small holes in John's shoulders.

With just one glance, they recognized that it was the bite mark of a venomous snake!
