sasuke : It's Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Comprehensive World

Chapter 80: Unexpected visitor

In the Greengrass house, Clarissa Greengrass was angrily staring at Sasuke, who had somehow fooled her daughter, Astoria. Little Astoria, sensing her mother's anger, quickly hid herself in Sasuke's arms, and Sasuke began to pet her like a cat.

Clarissa, baffled by how this boy had managed to win Astoria's affection in just a few days, she remembered when he first arrived,She wanted him to leave, not wanting him near her daughter, but the promise of making her drink few healing potions that would improve Astoria's health had let him stay.

Controlling her anger, she sat down in front of Sasuke, watching him closely to ensure he wouldn't overstep any boundaries. Sasuke, feeling her scrutiny, held back from saying if he wants to do something she can't stop him.

Suddenly, a house elf appeared and announced that Dumbledore was at the door. Clarissa frowned but asked the elf to bring him in. To her surprise, Albus wore an unusually grave expression.

"Professor Dumbledore," Clarissa greeted him, stepping aside to let him in. "What brings you here at this hour?"

Dumbledore entered, his eyes briefly scanning the room and lingering on Sasuke and Astoria before turning back to Clarissa. "I'm afraid I bring troubling news. May we sit?"

After taking a seat, Dumbledore began, "A student has been found dead," his voice heavy with sorrow. "A young member of a non-magical family."

"That's terrible," Clarissa said, her worry for her daughter at Hogwarts growing.

Sasuke looked at Dumbledore, then Clarissa. "Don't tell me it's already after Halloween," he said, his face full of confusion as he realized he had lost track of time. He still remembered the last time he did an experiment for an entire week without realizing it.

Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses. "I am afraid Halloween is still far away, but is this related to the warning you gave to the Weasley family before the start of school?"

"Oh, you are not suggesting I did something, are you? I've been quite busy and just came out of my forging room a few days ago. Since then, I've been here," Sasuke replied.

"No, I don't doubt you," Dumbledore said. "It's your ability to predict the future that makes me believe you might know something. When I heard from Arthur what you told him, I decided to keep an eye on Ginny. Unfortunately, it was too late; I found the black magic item, but Ginny was already cursed."

Sasuke met Dumbledore's eyes calmly. "Well, my prediction seems to be a little off, but shouldn't you just go and kill that snake and little Voldemort, or are you going to test Harry Potter?"

"I already did my testing last year, which I still regret. Now, I have no plan to risk unrelated children's lives," Dumbledore replied, emphasizing the word "unrelated," clearly hinting that Harry Potter was a different case.

Since Sasuke had free time, he decided to listen to what had happened. "If you already got the diary, what else is there?"

Dumbledore, wiping away his tears, said, "What diary? I only got a ring. Poor girl, she won't live for a year because of this. I was even removed as headmaster of Hogwarts by the Ministry and the board of directors."

Dumbledore continued, "If removing me could solve the problem, I wouldn't mind. It's just that I feel it's what Voldemort wants. Hogwarts might be at risk."

"At risk? If that's the case, shouldn't you have informed me so I could take my daughter back?" Clarissa's voice shook with fear.

Clarissa glanced at Sasuke, her mind racing. "Do you think the situation is that dangerous?"

"Clarissa, we have to check before deciding. And Dumbledore, is the reason Ginny might die within a year because she wore the ring?" Sasuke inquired.

Watching Dumbledore nod, Sasuke's expression turned thoughtful. "I don't know how to say this, but congratulations. If that ring is what I think it is, it's supposed to kill you."
