Forced By OAA To Be His Sucessor.

Chapter 48: Chapter 46: Cruel Fate Of Mother and Son.



When Leo was about to return to his house, he couldn't find the Batman of the Harry Potter world—still an 8-year-old kid living in this dark, run-down industrial area, according to the system.

slap~

But his steps were halted by the loud slapping sound coming from a dirty, run-down alley.

"Where have you been all this time, you bitch? Give me some money."

After a second of silence, he heard the loud, angry voice of a man who seemed to be scolding someone.

"____"

Suddenly, the image of the pale woman with visible dark circles under her eyes and a tired look on her face, who had bumped into him a few minutes ago, apologizing and leaving in a hurry without even looking at his face, flashed in his mind.

"Please, Tobias... don't throw it. It's for Severus."

After the man's angry voice, Leo heard the voice of a woman who sounded very desperate, begging.

With narrowed eyes, Leo moved closer to the run-down alley, took a turn, and entered it.

There, he saw a man who looked drunk, with a long beard and uncombed hair, holding the package firmly in his hands, while the lady they had met before was begging him to give it to her.

]

Looking at the list of tasks being generated, Leo felt overwhelmed for a moment and read through it one by one.

'Wait... Snape! Then there are Snape's parents.'

Reading the descriptions of the tasks, Leo was stunned for a moment, his eyes wide.

sigh~

"No wonder... Snape has always struggled with his introverted character."

Even though Leo had read about Snape's past in his previous life, seeing it with his own eyes made Snape's past image even clearer in Leo's mind.

Now he understood why Snape struggled to maintain relationships in school and became very introverted and hesitant to form bonds with others.

Snape's past has left an unhealable scar in his heart, which made him who he is in the future.

'Why is there no new world ticket?'

Seeing there was no new world ticket being mentioned in the reward, Leo became a little confused. In the last two worlds, when a long-term task was given to him, there was always a new ticket to the new world as part of the reward.

But there was none here, which confused him.

[ Host: This world has more possibilities. So you will get it at one point. Remember, the rewards are given randomly. If it's a rare reward, it could trigger hidden tasks. ]

Hearing the system's explanation, Leo stopped pondering and walked towards the couple who were arguing.

cough~ cough~

With a fake cough, Leo interrupted the conversation between Eileen Prince and Tobias Snape, who narrowed his eyes, glaring at Leo for interrupting him.

"Fuck off... kid, this is my family business."

Seeing Leo intending to intervene, Tobias snapped at him with narrowed eyes while pointing the half-drunk bottle in his hand.

gleam~

Suddenly, Leo's eyes, as he moved closer, gleamed red, and three tomoe appeared in them, spinning rapidly.

"____"

The angry Tobias, who was about to shout at Leo angrily for interfering, stopped. His eyes turned dazed, and he started looking at the wall silently like a puppet.

"____"

Eileen, who saw this, paused for a second, looked at her husband with wide eyes, and then turned to Leo, taking a few steps back.

gulp~

"Who?... Who are you?"

Taking a few steps back, Eileen asked cautiously, with a nervous gulp.

"oh~ hi, I am Leo Morningstar. The person you bumped into earlier."

Looking at the nervous and cautious Eileen, who was eyeing him warily, Leo, with a gentle smile, introduced himself.

"____"

Hearing Leo's words, Eileen became stunned. She had previously not seen who she had bumped into in her hurry.

Now, looking at the young man, who seemed very charming, his eyes seemed to pull her soul out of her body, making Eileen lose herself in them for a few seconds.

"Hello... Mrs. Are you alright?"

Seeing that Eileen was quiet and lost in her thoughts, Leo waved his hand in front of her vision to get her attention back.

"____"

"Sorry for the earlier, Mr. Morningstar. I was in a hurry to treat my son, who is ill, with this medicine."

Snapping out of her thoughts, a little red hue formed on her pale cheeks, and she apologized once again to him.

She mistook him came looking for her because he was angry and wanted to comfort her.

"No... no... you don't need to apologize, ma'am. I heard the conversation between you two earlier... when we bumped earlier, I felt magic fluctuation inside you. So can you explain why... I mean..."

Hearing Eileen's words, Leo immediately shook his hands in denial, signalling that he hadn't come here to trouble her.

With a troubled look and curiosity in his eyes, Leo pointed at Tobias Snape, who was looking at the wall quietly due to the illusion he had put on him.

"____"

When she heard his question, she lowered her head and stood silently, and after a few seconds of silence, she invited Leo inside the door, which seemed very worn out.

Entering the house, Leo was welcomed by the sight of many things that had been broken and an eight-year-old boy wearing worn-out clothes, lying on the couch, which seemed very old.

"Aren't you a witch? Why are you giving him Muggle medicine?"

Looking at Eileen, who woke the eight-year-old boy, who looked at him curiously with his big, curious eyes, Leo asked her with a frown.

sigh~

With a sigh, Eileen started to tell Leo her story of how she married a Muggle and how she ended up in this condition.

Eileen's Past...

Eileen Prince was born into the pure-blood family known as the Prince family. It was a very wealthy family with a huge influence in the wizarding world.

They were known for their potion-making skills from generation to generation.

Until now, there had not been a single one born without any talent for potions in this family.

They took great pride in this.

However, the family started to decline after her grandfather's demise, and it got even worse when her parents died in an accident during their travels to America.

So, only two members were left in the Prince family: one was her brother, John Prince.

Due to her extraordinary talent in potion-making, her brother became a little worried about her.

He felt threatened, fearing his sister might surpass him and gain the title of heir to the Prince family.

In the Prince family, they only took talent into account for succession, not gender.

This increased his worry about her becoming the heir instead of him.

And a sinister plan started to take root in his mind.

He found a Muggle and formed a deal with him: to marry his sister and look after her.

After three years of marriage, her brother would settle the payment fully to the Muggle.

The Muggle was none other than Tobias Snape, who made the deal with her brother to marry her and take care of her.

One night, her brother used the Imperius Curse on her and made her sign a marriage contract with Tobias.

When she regained control of her body, it was too late—she had already signed the contract.

At first, she hated him for ruining her life, but due to the passage of time and the love Tobias showed toward her, she made the decision to fall for him.

This led to the birth of Severus Snape. Everything seemed to be going fine until that day.

Three years passed, and the day when John Prince, as promised, was to pay Tobias in full came—but John didn't show up, as promised.

This brought a foreboding feeling to Tobias' chest.

The next day, Eileen received an owl stating that her brother had died in an accident.

After the funeral of John, who died without fulfilling the promise he had made to the Muggle Tobias who married his sister, John left behind a will as head of the Prince family.

Since Eileen had married and gone to another family, he stated that if he had no descendants, his sister could not become the direct head of House Prince. Instead, they would need to wait until their descendant awakened their magic and became a wizard.

From that day onwards, Tobias became violent and aggressive. He started to treat Eileen poorly.

Looking at the real face of the man she had forgiven and lived with, she gritted her teeth and accepted her fate. What could she do? She was bound by the marriage contract—she couldn't leave, betray, or hurt Tobias.

sigh~

"He even destroyed my wand and forbade me from using galleons."

With a defeated sigh, Eileen looked at Severus, who was listening to the conversation with his head held low.

After being fooled by John Prince for three years, Tobias started to hate wizards and asked her to cut off all connections with the wizarding world.

Now, Eileen was working in a factory along with her husband.

Severus had awakened his magic when he was 5 years old, but Tobias's hatred turned toward his child.

For the last 5 days, Severus had been running a high fever. No matter what medicine she gave him, the fever wouldn't go away. Instead, it had become more severe.

"____"

Hearing her tragic story, Leo couldn't help but sigh. Her fate was far worse than Severus's.

[ Host: Severus Snape is in the middle of developing Obscurus, a dark parasite... The host is recommended to give Snape the adaptability pill, which will help replace those infected dark magical parasites in his body. ]

When Leo examined Severus Snape's body, the system prompt appeared, explaining that he needed to give Snape an adaptability pill to cure him.

"It seems like, due to high negative emotions, his body is in the process of being parasitized by Obscurus."

After confirming with the system, Leo turned and informed Eileen about Severus Snape's condition.

"____"

Hearing Leo's words, Eileen froze for a second. Her eyes widened in disbelief—she knew what Obscurus was.

It was a dark parasite that would form in the body of a young wizard who had experienced a huge amount of negative emotions or whose magic had been suppressed for a long time.
