Why Severus is Thinking About Overthrowing the Dark Lord
"Why! How! Why didn't Potter die?"
"The fifth years have been learning about poisons, my Lord. His mudblood friend has been carrying bezoars all year." A small lie, hidden in the truth.
"But how did it know the apple was poisoned?"
"Perhaps my Lord's note was a bit too… obvious?"
"But… Potter did eat the apple, did he not?"
"He did."
"Then my plan worked! I am supreme! When we devise a way to get past that annoying mudblood, Potter will surely die. Here is my plan."
Severus listened with a growing sense of dread. Idiots, the lot of them.
